Chapter 406 [Please put away your arrogance, the apple is going to be finished]
"It's been more than five years before I know it, and time flies."
Luo Sheng didn't feel it for too long, put away some dispensable thoughts, and immediately asked, "What is the current market share of Yunge Search?" ”
"As of last week, it has just surpassed whiteness to become the largest Chinese search engine in terms of market share, with a market share of 47% and is rising sharply, and Google's exit is a big turning point in the mainland search engine industry." Yu Jun responded.
"Well, then let's end the state of loss, start making a profit plan from today, and make money." Luo Sheng thought about it for a moment and made a decisive decision.
Yu Jun on the other end of the phone is also quite excited, unconsciously jumped from Baidu to Bluestar Technology, and has been in charge of the search engine for more than five years, during which he has lost money every year, and the increase in market share has also led to more losses every year than the previous year.
If it weren't for the parent company's continuous injection of funds and blood transfusions, it would definitely not be able to bear the burden of not making a profit for more than five years.
Luo Sheng emphasized a sentence and reminded: "The focus should be on mobile, which is the general trend in the future. ”
Yu Jun nodded: "Understood." ”
It is worth mentioning that the market share of Yunge search has only begun to soar in the past two years, in addition to the original idea of steady and steady, the arrival of the mobile Internet tide is also a very important factor, Azure browser is actually Yunge.
In other words, Baidu is actually not the number one competitor in Yun Ge's eyes for a long time, it is only a matter of time before he defeats Baidu, and Yun Ge now has greater ambitions.
That is the ambition of international expansion, which is intended to get a glimpse of the hinterland of Google's search engine kingdom and compete with Google Chrome.
However, Yu Jun is also very self-aware, he never thought of challenging Google from the PC side, which is the absolute domain of Google as the king of the global search engine, and it is a fool's move to face the hardest face of the enemy.
But with the advent of the mobile Internet era, Google does not have an absolute advantage in this position, that is, Yunge Search can still get the last ticket to compete with Google.
……
After the call, Yu Jun convened his management team for an important meeting, the core of which was the profit plan for Yunge Search.
It's finally time to make money!
In fact, if Yunge Search wants to turn losses into profits, it can be achieved three years ago, but it has been actively suppressing the desire to make profits.
It's not that you can't make money, but you don't think about making money so quickly.
With the end of the meeting, Yu Jun personally presided over a temporary media conference, officially announcing that Yunge Search would end its five-and-a-half-year-long loss of bricks and begin to officially accept advertisers.
To put it simply, Yunge search is going to charge advertising fees.
The first time the foreign news reported on the reinforcements, it quickly spread to Wall Street.
The next day, the NASDAQ opened, and the market value of Bluestar Technology Group rose sharply in response to the news, closing at $309.57 per share after hours on the same day, up about 6.8%, up $28.58 billion, and also pushed the total market value of Bluestar Technology Group to $448.88 billion, ahead of the second-place ExxonMobil Oil Company by more than $120 billion.
In one day, it rose by two whitenesses, and the total market value was more than that.
Bluestar Technology Group is now definitely the darling of Wall Street, and some investors even say that Bluestar Technology is likely to become the first super-giant listed technology company in history to break the trillion dollar mark if it continues to maintain this momentum.
In contrast, the market value of Baidu also fell by about 9% on the day, and the market value of the day was $12.73 billion in after-hours trading.
Wall Street has long been urging Yu Jun to hurry up and let Yunge make money, and began to urge when Yunge's search market share was about 30%, but that's all, Wall Street can't actually interfere with the operation and management of Bluestar Technology in addition to verbal suggestions.
No one in the market will question that Yunge search can't make money, investors only care about when Yunge search operation department will make Yunge start making profits, and the news announced by Yu Jun is of course good news for the majority of investors.
With the passage of time, Google silently withdrew from the Greater China market with tears in its eyes, and Yunge Search became the biggest winner, accepting Google Search users with open arms.
Before Google withdrew, it still had a market share of up to 8%, of which 7.2% of the market share was absorbed into Yunge Search, which directly pushed its market share to more than half, reaching 54.2%, which has opened a gap from high moon to whiteness.
All the people in the industry are aware that the domestic search engine market has been fighting for more than five years, and the dead, the disabled, and the retreat have ushered in a new turning point, and the chosen son who can finally stand out from the encirclement has been born.
The "Baidu Era" has become a thing of the past, and now the "new king ascends the throne", and the domestic search engine market has officially ushered in the "Yunge Era".
Judging from the current trend, many people in the industry have begun to say that perhaps the long-known "L-BAT" is going to be changed, and now it should be called the "L-AT" Internet triumvirate.
But even so, the industry has also found a very shocking fact, that is, the volume of this "L" is too exaggerated, and the market value of Bluestar Technology Group alone exceeds the total market value of the top 100 Internet companies in the mainland.
As the world's No. 1 listed company, Bluestar Technology is close to 450 billion US dollars, or about 3 trillion yuan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that such a volume represents half of the current national Internet industry.
Mainland Internet companies, currently second only to Bluestar Technology, Tengxun, with a market value of more than $40 billion, followed by Alibaba, with a market value of about $30 billion, and then Baidu, more than $10 billion, and none of the remaining Internet companies exceed $10 billion.
As the world's No. 1 Internet empire, Bluestar Technology deserves its name.
……
North America, Apple's headquarters.
What is going on at the moment is an internal high-level meeting, attended not only by key Apple executives, but also by representatives of the company's major shareholders.
The atmosphere in the conference room was quite oppressive, and this atmosphere was similar to Apple's current situation.
Finally, one of the major shareholders at the meeting broke the quiet atmosphere, he looked at Qiao Gang, who was sitting in the CEO's seat, and said, "You are now on the cusp of public opinion, Steve. You have to make a reasonable argument to revive the confidence of the stock market and investors. ”
Jobs didn't speak, but sat silently motionless, Tim Cook, who was sitting on his side, glanced at Joe's gang leader with the afterglow of his eyes, and then also didn't say a word.
At this time, another shareholder looked at Qiao Gang Leader and asked, "Why is the iPhone project on hold?" It's stupid, it turns out that smartphones are the big trend of the future, Steve, you gave up a gold mine with your own hands, Azure phones have a market share of more than 40% in the United States, if you had implemented this project at that time, you could have at least got more than 10% market share. ”
Another shareholder representative said sarcastically: "Just like a sentence in the Chinese science fiction of "The Three-Body Problem", I want to quote it here: weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is, put away your arrogance and put away Steve, Apple is going to be finished." ”
The Qiao gang leader, who was speechless, suddenly looked up at the shareholder representative, but he was still silent.
And the shareholder representative also looked directly at the other party without flinching, and said: "Steve, the board of directors is currently re-judging whether it is right for you to be in charge of Apple, if Apple's market capitalization falls below $30 billion, you can't revive Apple's past glory...... You will be fired from the board. ”
Obviously, at this moment, the position of the Qiao gang leader within Apple has been shaken again, and in the face of the mass attack of shareholders, he is already on the verge of being kicked out for the second time.
The board of directors was indeed quite dissatisfied with Joe's gangster, and the shelving of the iPhone project and the rise of the Cote d'Azur hit Apple particularly hard, and the best-selling Azure mobile phone dealt a dimensionality reduction blow to Apple's iPod, which caught Apple off guard.
The combination of Azure Azure+MusicSpace and Bluestar Technology has completely exploded Apple's iPod+iTunes combination, Azure's best-selling has led to a cliff dive in iPod sales, and it has further impacted the iTunes music store to trigger a chain reaction.
Apple once reached $100 billion, but now it is about to fall below the $30 billion mark.
Joe's gang leader finally chose to compromise, and the failure of the iPad made him have to bow to reality, only to see him turn his head to look at Cook on the side: "Tim, you go to Huaguo, I decided to restart the iPhone project and enter the smartphone market, you go to Huaguo to find ......"
At this moment, Jobs suddenly fainted in the conference room before he finished speaking.
“Oh My God!! Steve!! Doctor, call the doctor, Steve has pancreatic cancer! ”
Everyone at the meeting subconsciously stood up and felt the progress, this scene caught a group of executives and shareholders off guard, and this group of shareholders who put pressure on Jobs collectively had to be moved, and their tightly locked brows gradually relaxed.
However, a group of shareholders or shareholder representatives surprisingly unanimously asked whether Steve Jobs is really capable of continuing to be at the helm of Apple.
Steve Jobs had already been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, known as the "king of cancers".
Fortunately, Qiao Gang Leader has a personal medical staff on call 24 hours a day, and this time there is no major problem, just fainting, but it is obviously caused by the negative impact of mental stress on his body.
Subsequently, Cook began to prepare for the trip to China at the behest of Old Joe.
If Apple wants to restart the iPhone and be born smoothly, it must get Luo Sheng's consent to some patent licensing, especially the licensing of multi-touch screen technology.

(PS: The fourth watch is sent, I can't think of it, well, there is nothing wrong with the fourth watch today, the ticket? Hurry up and give the ticket, hum~~)
(Just watched the news, there have been 40 confirmed cases in Singapore, and then they accept the spread of the Buddha virus, do not stop work and suspend classes, do not wear masks, do not stop business, gatherings, everything is business as usual...... Singapore can't afford this kind of economic loss, so it chooses not to take precautions.
Another news is that Indonesia has given up the detection of the 243 citizens who have been withdrawn, because the cost is as high as 70,000 US dollars, nearly 500,000 soft sister coins apiece, the ghost knows how many are behind, well, the cost of defense is too big, and the loss of failure will not be too great, so it can only go with the flow, which is probably Indonesia's choice.
Seeing these news, I was full of emotion, it is better to be born in a flower planting family, die or not, take care of a wave first, and then continue to strengthen management, the general country really can't afford to bear this kind of big event. )
