Chapter 455 [A Terrifying Technology Empire as Huge as the Internet]
The subsidy war, which lasted for more than 100 days, finally came to an end, and the two sides shook hands and made peace.
This also indicates that the ACC console has finally passed the test of the market, and it also makes the old first-party manufacturers have to admit the strong position of this new player.
The next-generation console war is over, the new king of ACC ascends the throne, in the case of content interoperability, in the case of Microsoft, Sony and other old manufacturers before the launch of the next generation of consoles, ACC consoles are in a state of no competitors in the current global home game console market.
With the end of the war, well-known masterpieces such as the "Final Fantasy" series, the "God of War" series, and the "Halo" series have landed on the ACC console platform, which has further stimulated the sales boom of the ACC console.
Similarly, the "GTA" series, the "Witcher" series, the "Assassin's Creed" series and other masterpieces of the original ACC camp have also landed on console platforms such as PS and Xbox one after another.
However, these works landed on the competitor's platform and received a 10% less rake, while the ACC platform increased the commission by 10%.
In the case of content exchange hedging, the technical advantages of ACC host are immediately reflected.
Gradually, word of mouth has fermented among gamers around the world over time.
Competitors are watching the sales of ACC consoles continue to climb, but there is nothing they can do.
This reconciliation itself is not easy to come by, if it weren't for Luo Sheng's consideration that more things are better than less things at the current juncture, he would have directly branded the other party as a tool to circumvent anti-monopoly, and he would never have left this respite for the Microsoft Host Alliance.
……
A week later, New York, Paul Watson Residence.
A maid had just placed a newspaper on the table, and a short time later Paul Watson arrived to start his breakfast while picking up the Wall Street Journal, the largest paid circulation newspaper in North America, on the table and reading it.
The front page headline page is related to Bluestar Technology Group.
Just yesterday, Bluestar Technology Group officially released the 2011 Q1 financial statements.
According to the financial report data, Bluestar Technology Group generated revenue of US$47.99 billion and net profit of US$17 billion in the quarter, both hitting new highs.
The Q1 earnings report of the new year revealed a lot of information, and the Wall Street Journal devoted an entire page to reporting on it.
Among the many business segments of Bluestar Technology Group, the four major segments of game business group, online translation, cloud computing services and mobile advertising revenue have the fastest growth, and are called the "four King Kong" businesses by the company's internal employees.
The growth of mobile advertising revenue was the most impressive.
From a broad point of view, the proportion of advertising revenue in the financial report data of Bluestar Technology Group still ranks first, accounting for $20.6 billion in revenue, accounting for 43%.
From the narrow data, excluding the cloud computing module, Bluestar Technology's advertising revenue accounted for 14.7 billion US dollars in total revenue, accounting for one-third.
In the past, melon-eating netizens ridiculed Bluestar Technology as a high-tech company that made a living by selling advertisements, and the official also ridiculed itself, but now it seems that it is not wrong to say so.
However, the current Bluestar Technology Group officially does not say so, but claims to be a company dedicated to providing cloud computing service solutions to customers around the world.
At this moment, Paul Watson, who was enjoying breakfast, saw an interview with Nick Pullin, vice president of Gartenr, an information research and analysis company, who claimed that with the increasing popularity of cloud computing services that can support the simultaneous operation of more than 10,000 servers, the scale of cloud computing service application deployment has also increased.
Purin said:
Before the financial turmoil that swept the world in 2008, cloud computing services were still a relatively new IT service for the majority of users, and the phenomenon of enterprises and social organizations considering the use of cloud computing services was relatively rare before.
However, more and more enterprise IT managers are considering the use of cloud computing service strategies, and more radical social organizations are also considering the use of cloud computing services.
In conclusion, Purin said: In 2011, the global cloud computing market size is expected to reach 61 billion US dollars, of which the North American market revenue will account for 60% of the total global revenue, the European market revenue will account for 23.8%, and the cloud computing market size in China is also expected to reach 8.8 billion US dollars, accounting for 14.4%.
"$42 billion...... Tsk tsk. Paul Watson, who was watching the keep, suddenly muttered to himself.
Bluestar Technology Group still firmly occupies about 70% of the market share in the global cloud computing service market, in other words, the market size of 61 billion US dollars, Bluestar Technology alone will cut 42 billion US dollars this year.
In the first quarter of this year, the total revenue of the global cloud computing service market reached 14 billion US dollars, of which 9.8 billion US dollars was pocketed by Bluestar Technology, which is really a lot of money.
The Nebulas Star-Cloud solution is still unshakable in the industry.
If Luo Sheng lowers the price again, the life of international friends and businessmen will not be able to live, and the major cloud computing service companies in North America may really have to rely on grabbing orders from the Wujiao Building and other governments, and as for other cloud computing service providers, I am afraid that a large number of them will die.
At this time, Paul Watson continued to look down, and Bluestar Technology's Q1 financial report rarely released a large number of the latest live data about the company's major business segments.
As of the first quarter of 2011.
The number of users of the Blue Space is 570 million, and the number of users of the international version of BlueSpace has reached 790 million worldwide.
Reddit's global user base exceeded 670 million, but the actual number of users can be 250 million thank God, Reddit can be said to be the worst one in the "family bucket" of Bluestar Technology, this quarter only brought $27 million in revenue to the company, and compared with the company's other buddies, they are even embarrassed to say that they are younger brothers.
Advertisers don't like Reddit at all, so why do advertisers think they want to advertise on an anonymous gutter platform like Reddit? Isn't it more fragrant to advertise on the BlueSpace platform of real-name social networking?
Bluestar Music has reached 420 million users, and the international version of MusicSpace has reached 370 million users worldwide.
Yunge search has a market share of 60% in the Chinese search market, is the first Chinese search engine at present, the Matthew effect is forming, the decline of whiteness is almost irreversible, and its market value has fallen below 10 billion US dollars.
The cumulative number of Weibo users exceeded 400 million, and the number of global users of the international version of MicroBlog exceeded 500 million for the first time.
The number of global users of Bluestar Video is 470 million, and the number of global users of the international version of Bluestar has reached 680 million, second only to BlueSpace, as the world's largest online streaming video site today, 40% of the users of BV Video Network watch music video programs, and music video has become the most popular column of BV Video website.
The videos with the highest click-through rate on the website are almost always MV videos.
The number of users of the cross-platform chat app WhatAPP has reached 200 million, 100 million, and the latest social products launched by Bluestar Technology are highly anticipated by the company's internal and external markets.
Everyone knows that in the future of the social field, these two social software will shine in the era of mobile Internet, just like the blue space / BlueSpace in the era of PC Internet.
The reason why Bluestar Technology is so strong is that it once again occupies the outlet of mobile Internet and social communication one step ahead of everyone.
Paul Watson also put down the newspaper in his hand after reading the content report of Bluestar Technology, and sometimes he felt hairy with the energy of the technology empire of Bluestar Technology Group.
Because he found that the scale of the company itself has really reached the same level as the Internet, an ordinary netizen user with 6 months of Internet age, no matter what country he is in, he has at least one product of Bluestar Technology, if he refuses all the products of Bluestar Technology Group, he will not be able to surf the Internet smoothly.
It is even more unimaginable that thousands of small and medium-sized enterprises, and even some large enterprises rely on Bluestar Technology to get nourishment, and even those thousands of full-time UP owners on the BV video network are now relying on Luo Sheng to enjoy food.
The North American authorities want to forcibly dismember the company, and if Luo Sheng breaks the net, it may repeat the impact of the millennium IT bubble.
"Sir, it's time for your flight, it's time for you to go." The butler came to Paul Watson and reminded him.
“OK。”
Paul Watson took off his napkin, took a black trench coat handed to him by the servant, put it on his body, and left the villa, where the car to receive him had been waiting for a long time.
Soon after, he was taken by car to the airport.
His special plane will fly directly to China, and Paul Watson's trip to China is to meet Luo Sheng, and there are a group of people who are going with him.
The biggest purpose of this trip is to persuade Luo Sheng to use his huge influence in North America under the social empire of Bluestar Technology Group to help the "Olympic President" win the re-election in next year's general election.
Well, it's a "blue door" or "Luo Gate" or something, "blue" is Bluestar Technology Group, and "Luo" of course refers to Luo Sheng.
This is a PY deal that Wall Street and the Olympic Federation have already reached.
But the deal still needs to be convinced, as he is the ultimate ruler of the vast social empire of Bluestar Technology Group.
You know, one out of every two Americans today uses at least one of Bluestar Technology Group's Internet service products.
Paul Watson cares very much, because he is the direct person in charge of the business unit of Bluestar Technology Group within Goldman Sachs, and he has been rising all the way over the years to seize Luo Sheng's line, and from another point of view, Luo Sheng is his future.
