[Ask for a ticket in the front row~~]
——
At present, the top 10 technology companies in the IT field by market capitalization are: Microsoft ($278 billion), Google ($132.9 billion), Intel ($129 billion), IBM ($115 billion), Cisco ($113.7 billion), Samsung Electronics ($104.4 billion), Apple ($72.13 billion), Bluestar Technology ($72.118 billion), Dell ($71.97 billion), Yahoo ($62.3 billion).
Judging from the top 10 market capitalization rankings, the most dazzling ones are Bluestar Technology, which ranks eighth, and Google, which ranks second.
Because the timing of the establishment of these two companies is really ...... Too young.
Needless to say, Bluestar Technology Group is the youngest of all technology companies, but it has grown to its current size and scale.
Google's data is also extremely dazzling, the company went public in August 2004, in just about a year and a half, the market value has soared from $23 billion at the time of the IPO to $132.9 billion, an increase of as much as five times the time of the IPO.
At this moment, Luo Sheng, who was interviewed, showed a thoughtful look after saying a word, and after a while, he spoke again in fluent English: "Frankly speaking, as an IT practitioner, this feels like a dream. But it's not a big thing, after the IPO I don't care about the market value of the company anymore, because it's not the root cause of our team's struggle, nor is it the reason why users like our products, we should be more concerned about what we're doing and why we're doing it, because of the mission and ideals. ”
Luo Sheng has never officially accepted an exclusive interview with the media, and the host of "The New Yorker" doesn't know how adaptable he is, but from the opening question just now, he also looks at Luo Sheng in his heart, obviously he looks so young, but his words and deeds are very calm, showing a relaxed and confident side.
For a moment, the host looked at the people present at the front of the stage, then looked at the camera with a smile and said: "I am now face to face with Luo Sheng, the founder and chairman and CEO of Bluestar Technology. ”
The host looked back at Luo Sheng again and smiled: "I still want to congratulate you on the achievements of this IPO, did you believe that you could develop so much at such a fast speed in the early days of your founding Bluestar Technology?" ”
Luo Sheng replied without thinking: "I think I'm afraid no one will think of it, and of course I won't think of it." ”
silently added in his heart: In fact, this is all expected by my brother.
Luo Sheng calmly continued: "However, three years ago or even earlier, when I founded Bluestar Technology, I believed and still firmly believed that the Internet will change our world, whether you believe it or not, and whether Bluestar Technology succeeds or not, the Internet is and continues to deeply change our world." ”
It was the host's turn to take over the words and immediately asked: "Bluestar Technology previously set the largest IPO in history, $5.6 billion, which is 336% of Google's IPO, how do you plan to use this fund?" Will you buy the competitor MySpace? ”
Bluestar Technology Group's largest business segment is the social network [BlueSpace], which is a competitor in China and MySpace in foreign countries, which has accumulated 15.5 million users in North America and 20 million worldwide.
Luo Sheng involuntarily cocked Erlang's legs, leaned back against the chair and smiled: "Uh...... MySpace? Haha, well, I don't know if Chris is willing to sell it to me. ”
The host looked at him and asked, "Would you think about it?" ”
Luo Sheng shook his head and said seriously: "I don't think we will probably not, because we think it is very important that we want to build a product or a company, not buy a product or a company." If we want to ensure that our entire social ecosystem is vibrant, we must have a healthy competitive environment, in Greater China we compete with Tencent Xun, in North America we compete with MySpace, only competition can promote the positive cycle growth of the entire industry, which is good. ”
There is nothing wrong with these words, but it shows Luo Sheng's mind and pattern, and it also makes the industry insiders and audiences who came to participate in the rebound sigh in their hearts, and it is not accidental that Bluestar Technology Group can achieve today's myth.
In fact, taking a step back is "scientific pig raising".
Luo Sheng doesn't want Bluestar Technology to face the fate of being split because of absolute monopoly, so he has to learn from the toothpaste factory Intel in this regard, and if MySpace dies, BlueSpace may face related monopoly disputes.
The moderator moved on to the next topic, saying, "Now that BTC is an international company, what do you think is the biggest challenge for a multinational technology group in dealing with the authorities of various countries, especially with the authorities of North America?" ”
This question is not easy to answer, Luo Sheng put down his leg and covered his mouth with one hand to ponder for a moment, and then said: "As a multinational company, it is not easy to deal with various regional parties, and we believe that the most important thing is communication. Communicating with them, listening to their difficulties, helping them solve their difficulties, and at the same time telling them about the difficulties we are facing, hoping to get their help to solve our difficulties, this is a very good communication opportunity. That's why we've been able to do business globally for the past three years. ”
Come on.
Luo Sheng said in his heart, this may be one of the reasons, but it also played a positive role, but the main reason is not because of sharing interests with Wall Street to go smoothly......
Luo Sheng believes that even if there are many elites on the scene, no one will say it so explicitly, because most of these elites work for Wall Street, or their work is directly or indirectly related to Wall Street.
The moderator quickly transitioned to the next topic, saying: "It seems that there are rumors in the industry that Bluestar Technology is going to marry Google in the field of streaming online video, is this true? Will it happen? ”
Hearing this, Luo Sheng was stunned for a while and said, "What? Really? How did I never get such news. ”
Luo Sheng really didn't know this news, he was now the CEO of Bluestar Technology Group, he didn't know that there was such a thing, it must be fake news, and after a while, he smiled and said: "But any cooperation that will help our career and ideals, we will be very excited and interested enough." ”
The host smiled: "This is an official refutation of rumors." ”
It has to be said that Bluestar Technology and Google are currently the objects of comparison in the Internet technology industry, that is, by many Silicon Valley people.
These two companies are now in the same echelon in terms of market capitalization, and they are among the top ten listed IT giants, the former is the hegemon in the field of social networking, and the latter is the king in the field of search engines, both of which are Internet technology companies with great potential.
Google has also diversified after the IPO, which is similar to both companies and has its own ace business segments.
Naturally, the two companies will naturally like to be compared by industry insiders.
This is the end of the interview.
