According to the financial report, the number of global users of the social network of Bluestar Technology Group has reached 1.85 billion, and the number of users in Asia is undoubtedly the first in China, reaching 700 million, which is also the first in the world, and the Internet users in Greater China have also exceeded 700 million this year, and almost every Chinese person will use at least one Bluestar Technology product and service.

followed by the subcontinent in Asia, with 138 million people; the third is Indonesia, with 78 million people; the fourth is the Philippines, with 45 million people; The fifth is Japan, with 33 million people.

Bluestar Technology also announced an important data in the just-released 2013 fiscal year report: the number of its mobile monthly active users has exceeded 1.3 billion, reaching 1.382 billion.

This shows that the number of mobile users of Bluestar Technology is almost equal to that of PC, and the total number of monthly active users on PC and mobile has reached 1.7 billion.

Zhang Bowen also said in the earnings call that this data does not include the number of users of WhatAPP, a cross-platform chat app owned by Bluestar Technology.

Gaining users is still within easy reach for Bluestar Technology Group, and its total user scale has been said to be so large that it is an order of magnitude with the Internet platform itself, which is not a lie.

Bluestar Technology's annual revenue in 2013 reached 117.73 billion US dollars, and the net profit was 18.079 billion US dollars, which exceeded last year's revenue scale, but the net profit was more than 2 billion US dollars less than last year.

The market may be more concerned about profits, but the company itself is most concerned about revenue, the former represents short-term interests, and the latter represents long-term interests.

The lower profit than last year was in line with Wall Street analysts' expectations, but the revenue scale rose sharply beyond Wall Street analysts and market expectations.

What does the increase in revenue scale indicate?

It shows that Bluestar Technology has been expanding its business territory last year, and the growth of the number of global users is the best proof.

It also shows that Bluestar Technology's downward adjustment of corporate profits not only does not drain itself, but gradually recovers steadily through the development of emerging markets, which greatly shocks the industry.

But what is shocking is that the Cote d'Azur and Bluestar Technology complement each other and directly blossom.

The two companies suffered such a strong blow and crisis last year, and they were able to survive so quickly, and I am afraid that the general multinational giants would have collapsed long ago, and the vitality of the two companies is strong, and it has also refreshed the cognition of the industry.

It's really the strong.

……

Sioux City, a science and technology complex building.

In Luo Sheng's private office, he is standing in front of a set of oversized 4K high-definition touchscreen wall panels, which show the southeast of the Strait of Malacca, while Luo Sheng is staring at the east coast of Linga County, which belongs to Indonesia, just near the equator line.

Luo Sheng drew a circle mark with his fingertips on the screen map, and said: "Xiao Na, find out if the hydrological environment in this area is suitable for building a super giant cargo port, a deep-water port that can accommodate 400,000-ton cargo ships." ”

"Okay, it's been invaded into the internal network system of Indonesia's land and resources."

This kind of data is generally not found on the Internet, but it is easy for Luo Sheng to get data, and he is not the kind of person who sticks to the form.

Anyway, for Indonesia, it is a harmless thing, even something that cannot be sought, but Luo Sheng never fights unprepared battles.

The space ladder is a project of a long century in time, but it is time to put some preparatory work on the agenda.

For example, the construction of ground cargo ports, in the future, materials on the earth will be sent to space on a large scale, and the vast majority of goods will choose to go by shipping, so the ladder base station must be surrounded by a deep-water port hub, and at the same time provide a huge cargo terminal.

And this port will not be vacant after it is built, so you don't need to think about the ladder at all, and you can operate it as a cargo terminal first, and maybe you can rob Singapore's shipping business.

Although Luo Sheng doesn't like this money, it is also good to earn some port maintenance costs.

But I have to say that Indonesia is really not good, the geographical location and conditions are not worse than Singapore, and I have thought about where to intercept a little shipping share from Singapore, but what to do if I can't do it.

After a while, Cortana responded.

"Master, the data shows that this place is suitable for a deep-water port."

Luo Sheng's spirits lifted: "Okay, contact Xiao Shijie." ”

This person is the executive vice president of Star Arrow International, although Luo Sheng serves as the CEO of Star Arrow International, but he knows his current situation, and it is better to stay in China honestly in the next few years.

Some business activities that can only be completed by going abroad can be handled by sending subordinates to deal with them, and you can sit at the headquarters and strategize with video conferences, and the probability of going abroad is an explosive rhythm.

The cause has reached today, no matter how large the scale, how many people want him to evaporate on this planet.

Obviously, Luo Sheng plans to let Star Arrow International take control of the cargo port, and lay the foundation first. Only Liu Jianwei and a few other people know about the "Space Ladder" plan, and even Xiao Shijie doesn't know about this plan.

It's too early now, there is no need to show it, and it will be made public when the bidding and cooperation are launched globally in the future, and before that, what Luo Sheng has to do is to actively lay out for himself and Star Arrow International to grasp the right to speak and control the space ladder.

This is bound to be an international cooperation project, not a single enterprise, a country's strength can build a success, and can not be mixed with too many political considerations in it, political factors are certainly inevitable, but can not become a leading role, must be driven by the nature of commercial space activities as the leading force to be done, otherwise each has a ghost, and the final result is to end up with chicken feathers and become a laughing stock.

Luo Sheng could even predict that at that time, major media would label him as a delusional, arrogant and arrogant person.

The face will also be lost to the whole world.

Business drive is the core interest, is the profit, who brings the benefit of who cares, only the business attribute of the big cooperation can be able to promote the multi-party alliance for the common interests to work together, although the business drive is the same is the same ghost, but after all, the relative measurement is the best solution.

"Mr. Luo, are you looking for me?"

Xiao Na helped Luo Sheng contact Xiao Shijie, and at this moment, the outside of the office hall was listening to his voice.

"Shijie, I will give you a task, you recruit a marine survey team to go to the east coast of the main island of Linga County, Indonesia to investigate the local hydrological environment on the spot, and see if a large deep-water port can be built there." Luo Sheng still prefers to believe in more down-to-earth results, Indonesia's data is just a reference, it is really difficult for you to have much confidence in the local technology, Indonesia can get this light, it all depends on the birth point, and there is no substantial contribution to building the space ladder.

Xiao Shijie was stunned when he heard the boss's words, "Mr. Luo, I don't understand what you mean." ”

Luo Sheng: "Oh, I plan to build a super-large deep-water port in the local area, you negotiate this with the Indonesian authorities, we will invest in the construction of the port, Indonesia can invest 30% of the shares, we will advance the 30% equity, but they want to provide it with cheap labor and some raw materials, oh yes, and buy a few more large tankers." ”

Xiao Shijie was stunned again, and was instantly confused, Star Arrow International is a private space exploration technology research and development company, what kind of operation is this big boss, how can you let the company allocate heavy assets, and it is still traditional shipping?

"Mr. Luo, this ......"

"If you want to go to the sky, go to the sea first."
