Chapter 204 ["Galaxy City" Solution]

Luo Sheng didn't pay too much attention to the subprime mortgage matter, there was something Qin Weimu would report to him, and the collapse of the world economy was already irreversible.

It's not just that Luo Sheng doesn't doubt this, but there are many smart people on Wall Street, such as Goldman Sachs.

However, no one on Wall Street said anything, but they kept lying to buy time for themselves to pass on the crisis.

The collapse of the world economy is inevitable, but life still has to be lived, and companies have to grow.

This winter, Luo Sheng has stored enough grain to cope with the upcoming economic winter.

As we entered mid-April, the first quarter audited financial report of Bluestar Technology Group was officially disclosed to the outside world after being approved by Luo Sheng.

Bluestar Technology's financial report continued to be strong in the quarter, with revenue reaching $6.53 billion, up 313% year-on-year and 10.15% quarter-on-quarter; Net profit reached 16.33, up 561% year-on-year and 14.76% quarter-on-quarter, in line with Wall Street analysts' expectations.

However, according to the financial report, the proportion of revenue of Bluestar Technology Group, overseas markets still account for an absolute proportion, but the revenue growth rate in North America has declined, down about 6%.

Obviously, the fluctuations of the North American economy still have a certain impact on Bluestar Technology, but it is still rising in absolute numbers, but the rate of growth has slowed down a bit.

The company's cash reserves broke a new high, reaching 17 billion US dollars, but there are a few unpaid payments, except for 16.3 billion US dollars, which is still an astronomical amount, and it is definitely one of the most cash-rich technology companies in the world so far, and can even remove "technology", which is one of the listed companies with the richest cash reserves in the world.

At present, Wall Street is shrouded in the haze of the subprime mortgage crisis, and the rich have become more and more obvious to feel the unusual, but the majority of ordinary people still live as they want, and only a few people are aware of it, but what can they do?

Because Wall Street's elite is hiding the truth.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that an economic crisis that has swept the world is getting closer and closer to the tipping point of its outbreak.

Some time ago, investment banks such as Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch on Wall Street either had their systems down, server failures or power outages, and various problems appeared in a pile, and the three major U.S. stock indexes fell sharply across the board, and the market was wailing.

Now, Goldman Sachs and other predators are frantically selling junk bonds, which will not be able to get rid of for a while, and they are still frantically looking for unsuspecting ordinary consumers to take over.

Some people listen to the advice of brokers or wealth management funds, they don't understand, but they just buy these junk bonds, and when the transaction is completed, they are doomed to lose their money.

At present, in order to save their lives, these big banks uphold the principle of "I will not go to prison, whoever loves will go down", regardless of any moral and immoral issues.

Even in such an environment, affected by the financial report, Bluestar Technology Group still ushered in a wave of gains, which may be one of the few bright spots on the NASDAQ, so far the IT technology field and manufacturing have not been greatly affected.

But it's a different story with financial companies.

At present, the financial sector of the world's top ten listed companies accounts for half of the country, and the current market value of financial companies such as Citigroup and AIG fell at the opening.

Bluestar Technology has a market capitalization of $149 billion in after-hours trading, ranking among the top three listed technology companies in the world and within the top 30 listed companies in the world.

With the current environment, Luo Sheng estimates that whether it is Bluestar Technology or the Cote d'Azur, the two companies will still have a very comfortable life in the next second and third quarters, but in the fourth quarter, it may take a sharp turn.

And next year will not be easy.

As for next year, the world economy is set to collapse.

Luo Sheng is mentally prepared for the 2008 revenue of Bluestar Technology Group was cut in half, the financial storm swept the world, for other companies, it is a luxury to survive, Bluestar Technology can still rely on the abundant surplus food without looking for a bank to borrow a penny to comfortably survive this economic winter.

The sales of another unlisted company, the Cote d'Azur, have also come out in the first quarter of this year, with global sales of Azure-X mobile phones exceeding 4 million units, excluding exchange rate changes, with total sales of two models of mobile phones reaching ¥23.7 billion, AOS app store revenue of ¥4 billion, total sales of ¥27.7 billion, net profit reaching an astonishing ¥16.7 billion, and a net profit margin of 60.2%.

You must know that the hardware cost of an Azure-X is about 216 US dollars, which is about 1667 yuan at the current exchange rate, but what about the price?

It is much cheaper in China, but the profit is not small, and a 16GB model mobile phone sold to Europe, local consumers have to pay 700 euros for it, which is 7,364 yuan at the current exchange rate.

Luo Sheng will definitely not learn the domestic marketing strategy of selling high products and low prices, and the current market Azure-X mobile phone is unique.

Just sell at this price, and sell it is forced.

With such frighteningly high profits, the Côte d'Azur company will be able to recoup its costs and make a profit this year.

This has to say that Qualcomm is now dripping blood in his heart, and the executive who negotiated with Luo Sheng has now been fired, and he is still fighting a lawsuit with Qualcomm for this, because he doesn't think it's his fault, it's just that the board of directors wants him to take the blame.

However, Luo Sheng didn't pay attention to Qualcomm's matter at all, and he didn't know that there was such a thing.

……

Today, Luo Sheng's office at the Côte d'Azur is also attended by Yao Jianhong, who brings more than 30 new headquarters design solutions, all from top architectural design firms around the world.

"This plan is called '10,000 people megastructure', and this plan uses the newly built 10,000 people giant structure as the core building of the creative park, and uses it as the center to radiate to the surrounding areas with multiple small building complexes in the center, activating a new industrial park. The hybrid megastructure consists of three basic functions: office, public space, entertainment ......"

The headquarters of Bluestar Technology has been under construction for almost half a year, and the main building adopts the idea of the Möbius ring, and the building is extended on land, at the bottom of the lake and on the surface of the lake, and is expected to be put into use in 2009.

Now in front of Luo Sheng is the construction of the headquarters of the Cote d'Azur company, and the land has already been arranged, just southeast of the headquarters of Bluestar Technology, next to each other.

At present, Yao Jianhong has brought a number of plans, but they have not yet been finalized.

"Green Boat, 10,000 Giant Structure, Sioux City Forest, City Under the Horizon, City of Galaxy......" Luo Sheng looked through the major plans one by one, and when he saw this, the solution of "City of Stars" immediately attracted him.

Yao Jianhong immediately introduced: "Mr. Luo, the 'Galaxy City' project is the creative work of the world's top architect Zaha Hadid, according to the industry's evaluation, the design of this Iraqi-born British female architect has always been known for her bold shapes, and her works boldly use space and geometric structures, and are known as the 'master of deconstructionism' in the architectural world." ”

"Oh? So this is Zaha Hadid's work? I said, how can you be so familiar......" Luo Sheng was quite surprised when he heard it.

"Mr. Luo knows her?" Yao Jianhong couldn't help but look at him in surprise.

"I know that I can't talk about it, I have learned about her series of works, and I personally admire her, and she is indeed a world-class architect." Luo Sheng shook his head and smiled.

He knew Zaha Hadid mainly from the previous life, and the famous "Capital Daxing International Airport" solution was made by this master architect, who has left many of her masterpieces around the world, and is a prolific master builder.

Luo Sheng picked up the list of plans of the "Galaxy City", the biggest feature is the "Nebula style", in the design of the Star City, various public spaces are combined in the form of "Nebula" using pipes, the larger geometric space links the medium-sized space, and the medium-sized space links the small space.

In order to get the best sunlight, the "spiral" is arranged in the outer skin part of the building, and considering the huge office surface, the design introduces spiral rail transit to make it easy for people to reach their own offices.

At the same time, in order to better link the public space, a spiral rail transit is also used at the edge of the Sunshine Valley inside the building to facilitate people's needs.

Several sunshine wells were created on the original volume of the building, with the largest sunshine well in the center of each block to meet the main lighting of the space, and the sunshine wells on the side of the building can create some outdoor space and plant a large amount of greenery to form a park.

This design scheme uses a large number of glass elements, which not only increases the indoor natural lighting of the large-scale building, saves energy, but also increases the transparency and agility of the building itself, and the sense of science and technology.

The natural temperature regulation system reduces people's dependence on air conditioning, further reduces carbon emissions, and is very scientific and advanced design.

"City of Stars...... That's it. ”

Luo Sheng saw about a third of the way, and made a decision without hesitation.

Famous masterpieces, coupled with the design of deconstructing space geometry, also hit Luo Sheng's aesthetic pursuit, as for the later plan, he didn't look at it anymore.

If the design firms that submitted the proposals knew about the solutions they had carefully provided, the clients would have cried and fainted in the toilet without even looking at them.
