Bluestar Technology Group reached a strategic cooperation with IBM, and Luo Sheng personally came out to weave a new concept term "cloud computing" and strongly supported this field.

His current popularity and influence in the industry, whether in China or Silicon Valley, is a bigwig-level influence, even if it is not significant, but as an industry insider, if a company like Google ignores his views, it is definitely a very unwise low-level mistake.

In fact, none of these giants would make such a low-level mistake.

Except for Yahoo.

With the end of Pengcheng's IT Forum Exchange Conference, Mr. Ma asked a business unit within Ahri to focus on cloud computing-related topics, with Ahri's current financial resources and scale, Ahri has merged Yahoo's business in Greater China into its portfolio last year, which is equivalent to obtaining Yahoo's $1 billion in financing.

Obviously, Ahri can definitely enter the field of cloud computing, but he can't play as big as Luo Sheng.

Teng Xun and Baidu did not attach importance to cloud computing services, and agreed that this concept was right, but they were not optimistic about the current and foreseeable future to be able to realize the blueprint that Luo Sheng originally depicted.

As a result, these two companies have no plans to enter the cloud computing space, at least not for now, including in the next five years.

They are also happy to see what Luo Sheng's situation is first.

On the international front, Jeff Bezos, who is at the helm of Amazon, is more determined and is lobbying vigorously to raise more funds in the market to invest in cloud computing services.

Google then announced that it would join and invest $500 million to test the waters.

Microsoft also announced its entry into the field of cloud computing services, and it also threw $300 million to explore the way first.

It can be said that so far only Luo Sheng and Jeff Bezos are firm investments, because Amazon as an e-commerce company, a large amount of e-commerce data is very useful, Jeff sees the value of a whole industry chain, and cloud computing services are the key.

……

After entering May, the media in the industry are frequently reporting on cloud computing, and some industry insiders joke that Luo Sheng will become a "martyr" if he doesn't do well.

Luo Sheng didn't care about some short-sighted remarks, they seemed to forget that the pioneers who can really achieve great success in this world are either fools or crazy people who follow fools.

After seeing the actions of Google and Microsoft in the field of cloud computing services, Luo Sheng was inexplicably relieved, and if these companies also invested heavily, Luo Sheng was still a little stressed.

After all, whether it is Google or Microsoft, their current size and financial strength are actually stronger than the current Bluestar Technology, and they are local technology companies in North America, which is an advantage that Luo Sheng does not have, and he is a complete outsider in North America.

However, the cloud computing incident made IBM the first party to benefit, and even the IBM company itself did not think of it.

There is no doubt that since the beginning of the new century, Luo Sheng has set off the first boom in cloud computing services, which has given IBM a huge opportunity.

IBM has been caught up by the wind of cloud computing, and its market value has risen all the way to more than $140 billion, and it is now second only to Microsoft.

The strategic cooperation with Bluestar Technology has played a key role, and after May, as the major giants have invested in the field of cloud computing, which makes IBM, Intel and other hardware companies not calm.

IBM, whose head Samuel Palmisano is now an "unwavering" public supporter of cloud computing, has made a big splash.

It can be said that IBM is currently the biggest beneficiary, and has reached important cooperation with two major players in the field of cloud computing services, namely Bluestar Technology Group and Amazon.

……

Mid-May.

The headquarters of Bluestar Technology Group, Luo Sheng's office.

"Mr. Luo, there is a little trouble in North America." Zhang Bowen came to his office, and when he received the news from there, he came to report to Luo Sheng as soon as possible.

"What's the trouble?" Luo Sheng asked.

"The North American authorities stuck our necks on the grounds of data security, and refused to allow us to enter the market for the four data centers we want to build in North America, citing data security." Zhang Bowen explained.

Hearing this news, Luo Sheng was stunned for a while, but he came back to his senses but did not have much psychological fluctuations, which was actually not surprising at all.

When the United States put Bluestar Technology into the North American market, it never thought that it would grow at such a fast speed to this point, and its many websites BlueSpace, Reddit, MicroBlog, etc. have monopolized the social networks in North America, and more than one-third of the Internet users in the United States are inseparable from these Internet social products.

Zhang Bowen couldn't help but admire: "It's still Mr. Luo's foresight, splitting and reorganizing in advance, separating the main business sectors and dividing them into two, divided into domestic and international versions." ”

If the Americans had known that there would be today's situation, they would not have allowed Bluestar Technology to enter the North American market so easily, and now it is too difficult to drive Bluestar Technology out.

Lao Mei can't be unscrupulous.

Since the BlueSpace social networking site exceeded 100 million users in North America, it has been targeted by the North American authorities, and at that time they began to figure out how to kill Bluestar Technology, including non-economic means.

But Luo Sheng already had this awareness early on, so he split and reorganized the company, adjusted the business sector, and raised a super luxurious legal team, while the parent company top-down board of supervisors, this complete set of systematic layout to ensure that he does not make two mistakes and gives the other party a chance.

Lao Mei is now worried that Bluestar Technology will make mistakes, even a small mistake will be magnified and used as an excuse for sanctions.

They even go fishing in the dark.

Of course, it is not enough to just not commit crimes, so Luo Sheng actively introduced Wall Street capital, and if you look at the current shareholding structure of Bluestar Technology Group, you will find that Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, and Citigroup are all among them, and one is more scary than the other, Bluestar Technology has their vested interests, and Bluestar Technology is getting bigger and bigger, and their interests are getting bigger and bigger.

There's only one thing Wall Street cares about...... That is profit, everything else can make way for it, and what stands in its way will not hesitate to crush, open, dark, begging, borrowing or stealing, everything.

As long as Bluestar Technology Group is in the North American market, does not take a solid standing, and fully makes good use of local rules, it is difficult to be kicked out of this market now.

Zhang Bowen said again: "Speaking of another thing, it's very funny, this news was disclosed yesterday, Mr. Luo, guess what?" The company's stock jumped 2%, can you believe it? ”

Hearing this, Luo Sheng was also stunned for a while, and when he reacted, he couldn't help but laugh, and said: "It seems that the market and investors are still stubbornly not optimistic about our move in the field of cloud computing." ”

Otherwise, how could the company's stock rise by 2% because of this news?

Because the North American authorities do not approve it, you have four large data centers on your side that can't be built, which is equivalent to saving one-third of the cost in the field of cloud computing, then of course the stock will rise.

Zhang Bowen added: "When it comes to stocks, IBM's stock fell 3.57% in response, directly evaporating $5 billion. ”

Luo Sheng said calmly: "There is no need to worry about this matter, I estimate that IBM is more anxious than us, they are now the first beneficiaries, IBM will never pay us a liquidated damages because of this matter, and give up the cloud computing business to Intel or Dell, whose interests are concerned." ”

The signing of a ten-year strategic cooperation agreement between Bluestar Technology and IBM is a huge profit for IBM, with a total value of $40 billion, and IBM has no reason to refuse.

Bluestar Technology will pay $3 billion in liquidated damages for nothing, while IBM will pay $1 billion to Bluestar Technology in default, which is a one-third less, but it is also an astronomical amount.

For IBM, liquidated damages are not the key, the key is the strategic contract with a total value of $40 billion.

The entanglement in this is even more complicated, IBM's shareholding structure has now been confirmed that its largest shareholder is the stock god Buffett, and there are other Wall Street investment banks, including Goldman Sachs and Morgan, which have intricate interests in it.
