Chapter 866 [Initiation of the Ladder Project]
Since the second half of this year, the Cote d'Azur and Bluestar Technology are no longer the focus of Luo Sheng's attention, and after fifteen or sixteen years of development, they are getting closer to the ceiling, and now they are in the era of stock.
To break this bottleneck and break through the ceiling, you have to go to heaven!
No matter how much you mess with it on the earth, you will inevitably end up with the fate of involution.
Therefore, since entering the second half of the year, Luo Sheng's focus has shifted to Star Arrow International, and everything is laid out with the sky as the center of gravity.
However, it is not completely ignored, the companies of the Cote d'Azur and Bluestar Technology are the basic plates, and only the capital to look up to the stars is not a moth.
If you want to go to heaven, you basically have to use money to pile it up, and of course you can't do it without capital.
……
In Luo Sheng's office, at this moment, he was reading the performance statements of several companies that An Qingxue had just sent, and the giant screen in front of him was waiting for a video connection, and he was going to start a connection meeting with the people from Star Arrow International later.
Taking advantage of this interval, I also took a general look at the interim results of several companies that had just come out.
According to the disclosed performance data, the global revenue of the Cote d'Azur in the first half of this year was 505.621 billion US dollars, a decrease of 11.83% compared with the previous year.
More than half of the revenue of the Cote d'Azur comes from the international market, and until now there are still 70% of the offline stores in a closed state, if it is not for this year's big white robot marketing world to hedge the performance loss, I am afraid that the performance of the income will drop by more than half compared with the previous year.
However, although the revenue in the first half of the year decreased by nearly 70 billion US dollars, the net profit increased by 9% year-on-year, and the net profit attributable to the owners of the parent company hit a new high of 123.235 billion US dollars, and the performance in the first half of the year hit a net profit margin of 24.37%.
There are a large number of stores in the international market closed, layoffs and reduced part of the contribution, but the largest part is the credit of Dabai Robot, which contributed the most core profit to the performance of the first half of the year, surpassing the company's smartphone terminal business for the first time.
You must know that the operation of the big white robot in the auction years ago hit a turnover of 1.91 trillion US dollars, and the profit premium was nearly 200 billion US dollars, which was an explosion of blood earnings, of which the income statement attributable to this year exceeded 50 billion US dollars.
This year's Cote d'Azur is relying on the big white robot to support this eye-catching performance, even the Cote d'Azur can't stand the revenue fell by more than 10 percentage points, and other companies are even more miserable, the results of the report are more than half of the companies that have been cut off at every turn, and some have even fallen by more than 70%, it is difficult to see the extreme.
But to say that the most beautiful boy of several companies under Luo Sheng this year is not the Cote d'Azur, nor is it the Azure pure electric car.
It's Bluestar Technology Group!
The impact of the Sequoia pandemic in the international market has directly led to a surge in demand for cloud services represented by cloud office, although Bluestar Technology Group has been in people's impression of an Internet social giant, but in fact, as early as Luo Sheng poached Lu Qi to dominate the cloud computing sector of Bluestar Technology, the company has no longer positioned itself as such.
Instead, it claims to be a leading global provider of big data and cloud computing services.
This year, the cloud services led by the company's Nebula Star-Coconut supported half of the reported performance of Bluestar Technology Group, and the revenue in the first half of the year not only did not decline, but created a situation of double increase in revenue and profit.
The disclosed interim performance was US$267.515 billion, a year-on-year increase of 39.6%, and the net profit was also very good, hitting US$70.089 billion, with a net profit margin of 26.2%.
Bluestar Technology's market capitalization has returned to the $3 trillion mark in June this year since it was smashed out of a golden sinkhole by the Sequoia pandemic.
Not only that, but it further broke through the previous high last month, standing at an all-time high of $3.37 trillion.
As the largest heavyweight stock in the United States, Bluestar Technology has deeply affected the trend of the Nasdaq index and even the entire U.S. stocks.
In the past five years, the trend of the two has been almost the same, and now Bluestar Technology is standing at a new all-time high, and the Nasdaq index is also standing at a new all-time high of 13204.15 points.
In the context of this year's global economy being hit hard, Luo Sheng is quite satisfied with the performance of his two core companies, and there are also great benefits.
When Luo Sheng was about to pick up the interim performance of Azure Pure Electric Automobile Company to take a look, the major sub-screens of the video connection were connected to the signal one after another, and Luo Sheng saw this and put several interim performance materials into the folder layer on the desk, and turned to look at the video screen in front of him.
The first to access the signal was Professor Liu Jianwei, followed by Zheng Tao, the second-in-command of Star Arrow International, and the images of the participants appeared on more than a dozen sub-screens.
The participants in the video conference were either the core managers of Star Arrow International, or the chief scientific research scientist of a key department like Liu Jianwei.
It is worth mentioning that Luo Sheng also serves as the CEO of Star Arrow International, but in the past few years, Zheng Tao was responsible for running the company.
"Everyone is here, so let's start, the ladder plan has been prepared for so many years, and it's time to enter the substantive promotion agenda of this project." Luo Sheng, who presided over the meeting, immediately opened the conversation.
Everyone was in high spirits, especially Liu Jianwei, who could not hide the joy and excitement in their hearts.
After more than ten years of preparation, the project of the century is finally about to start...
Luo Sheng looked at Zheng Tao's image, who looked down at the materials prepared on his desk, flipped through the general list and said, "This is the largest and craziest man-made system project in the history of mankind. We have calculated the budgets for building space ladders with supercomputers using the latest data. ”
Luo Sheng said succinctly: "How much? ”
Zheng Tao also replied neatly: "The budget of the ladder shows that it needs 40.806 trillion yuan, and the total budget is 57.31 trillion yuan!" ”
Luo Sheng said to himself: "Excluding exchange rate changes, it is about 8.5 trillion US dollars. ”
Zheng Tao made a further detailed deconstruction and added: "In terms of specific budget, the construction of the ground tower base and spaceport, at present, Linga Port has been completed, and the tower base accounts for 3.826% of the budget, about 1.56 trillion yuan, the cost accounts for the least, and the project difficulty is relatively the easiest." ”
One participant cucked up: "After all, this is ground construction, which can be regarded as a traditional infrastructure project. ”
Zheng Tao continued: "The second is the construction of the orbital super space station Tianzhou, due to the addition of the space factory module, the budget of the space station module has also increased to 9.64 trillion yuan, and the most expensive is the ladder cable, with a budget scale of 30 trillion yuan. ”
"The budget for the cable includes part of the transportation cost, but the space station module of the ladder still needs 4.3 trillion yuan, and the actual budget here is 45.106 trillion yuan."
"In the end, there is a budget of about 12.204 trillion yuan for all kinds of factories and production lines and other miscellaneous expenses required on the ground, and the total budget of the entire project is about 57.31 trillion yuan, about 8.5 trillion US dollars."
After Zheng Tao reported this figure again, Liu Jianwei and the others present already knew that it was an astronomical number, but they were still deeply shocked.
Strictly speaking, no country in the world can have the economic strength to implement a budget of 8.5 trillion US dollars on a project, and the most shocking thing for everyone is that the financial budget that the five hooligans on the earth can't handle can do, but Luo Sheng can do it!
It's incredible to think about.
Zheng Tao finished reading the briefing, and seeing that everyone did not speak, he looked at Luo Sheng's image and spoke again: "Mr. Luo, according to your initial idea is to introduce Shengfeng Capital to realize the global investors to indirectly bet on the ladder project, I am worried that when the solar storm comes, will global investors panic and collectively withdraw their capital and run?" With such a large project not allowing for a spread pool, wouldn't it be better to wait until the storm has passed before starting? ”
The dozen or so people present were obviously a minority of those who knew about solar storms, and they were engaged in space exploration, so how could they not know this.
Hearing Zheng Tao's suggestion, Luo Sheng directly denied it without thinking too much: "If you really wait for the sun wind to blow before starting, it will be completely cool, if you are an investor, you dare to invest if you are so frightened by the solar storm?" ”
Zheng Tao was speechless when he heard this, as long as he was a normal person, he probably wouldn't invest.
Luo Sheng looked around at the crowd: "Because of this, not only is it not a crisis but a ballast stone, not only can we not start after the solar storm blows, but we must start the ladder project before the storm blows, and it is impossible to carry out large-scale launch activities in the first few years, build the factory production line on the ground on a large scale, build the base of the sky tower first, build as many modules as the space station can build, and then launch them in a pile after the storm." ”
"After doing this, when the solar storm blows, investors want to withdraw and there is no way out, by that time more than half of the capital has been invested in, and if you really exit halfway, it will be completely lost, and no one can take this plate means that the exit cannot be realized, which is equivalent to no return."
"Therefore, at that time, not only must you go with me, but if necessary, you will have to make additional investments to maintain this investment target, even if it is a dream, it cannot be shattered, as long as it does not fall and does not collapse, the story of the stars and the sea is priceless."
At the end, Liu Jianwei, Zheng Tao and others in the participants looked at each other through the video screen.
Everyone didn't say a word, but their hearts were already crying out!
Is this what the head of the company really thinks?
As long as you get in the car, don't want to get out of the car, the door is welded to the ground, either everyone goes to heaven together, or everyone goes to hell together, there is no third way to choose.
Don't be too ruthless!
It's not too exciting!
Zheng Tao has already imagined in his mind the moment when the solar storm will come three years later, and global investors estimate that they will not be able to sleep well every day in the future......
What could be more exciting than this?
