Chapter 477 [Second Hand]

After the news of the media conference of Bluestar Technology Group spread, the mainstream media in Europe and the United States, especially in North America, immediately began to criticize Luo Sheng on a large scale, accusing him of irrational behavior and causing countless people to go bankrupt.

There is also a war of words on the Internet, and the tearing is constant.

"To be reasonable, Bluestar Technology's operation is too inflated and irrational."

"People are so shameless to fuck you, and you won't fight back?"

"Give up your illusions"

"Relieve your anger!"

"Worthy of the archbishop, this is the toughest tech giant I've ever seen."

"Hopefully we can get through it."

"To be reasonable, although the recent news is exciting, but for Bluestar Technology, it is also a huge price, just say that in the field of cloud computing services, the North American market has a 60% market share in the global market."

"Obviously, the U.S. imperialists are in a hurry to engage in local protection, using this despicable means to suppress Bluestar Technology, hehe, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, these Silicon Valley technology giants engaged in cloud computing are now estimated to be laughing in their dreams."

"If you continue to toss like this, it will trigger a global recession."

"The energy of a multinational giant group like Bluestar Technology is really terrifying, and once this kind of sudden outbreak occurs, the global economy will catch a cold."

Monlo Park, California, North America, Bluestar Technology Films.

In a company building that can accommodate 18,000 people at the same time, most of the employees working at the company have been full of anxiety these days, and the atmosphere is not as happy as it used to be.

The air in the office hall is faintly permeated with the smell of self-danger, and Bluestar Technology Group currently has a total of 220,000 employees worldwide, including more than 30,000 employees in North America.

As we all know, the company announced that it has laid off nearly 9,000 employees, and it is only for employees in North America, which means that almost one in three people will lose their jobs.

Claude arrived at work on time today, and he had noticed that there were more than sixty cubicles in his office area, and he knew what that meant, as the employees who had been sitting there had been laid off.

He's hardly in the mood to focus on his work, and he's not the only one who has this mentality, as a lot of people in the company are doing it right now.

"Claude, I'm sorry to tell you the news, you have been fired, if you have something dissatisfied, you can go to the union to complain."

At this moment, a wavy hairstyle woman wearing a black hip skirt and glasses came to Claude to say this, and left without waiting for the other party to answer, and Claude only heard the sound of the clattering of high heels that were fading away.

After receiving the notice from the company's HR, Claude also didn't say a word, and put his head on the keyboard on the workbench with a little pain.

Unemployed!

After a long time, he took out a box from under his feet with a dejected expression, and then began to pack his things, this box he had been preparing for two days, he hoped that he would not use it, but in the end he used it.

Claude didn't go crazy, because he was fired by the company, so he would get a generous liquidated damages.

But he really loves this job very much, and loves the food culture and rich treatment of Bluestar Technology very much, but the cruel reality is that he is unemployed now.

Two hours later, Claude had completed his resignation, completed his handover, and drove out of the office with his belongings, and as he walked out of the intersection he saw a commotion on the sidewalk.

A large number of employees who were forcibly laid off protested, holding signs with slogans such as "Give me back my job", and many media outlets reported on the scene.

……

Science and Technology Complex Building.

Mr. Luo was in his private office watching a video news report about Bluestar Technology in North America, showing many of the laid-off employees protesting in Menlo Park.

And the local media is also hyping up.

Qin Weimu, who was next to Luo Sheng, glanced at the news report and looked at Luo Sheng: "The company still lacks the right to speak in the media, although we have also played a role in the recent stock market shock, but it is obviously not as described as the culprit as reported by the media inside......

Hearing this, Luo Sheng said with a smile: "For the sake of votes and attracting some popularity, we also have to express our understanding." But it's not right to say that we don't have a voice in the media. ”

Seeing Qin Weimu's surprised gaze, Luo Sheng smiled: "We just don't have the right to speak in traditional media, but we have the right to speak in new online media, BV Video Network, MicroBlog, BlueSpace, Reddit, etc., these social media platforms are mine, and the voice of online media will become more and more important in the future, and it is precisely because of this that they will be so decisive this time." ”

Qin Weimu said succinctly: "Then the Cote d'Azur may be even more dangerous. ”

Luo Sheng shook his head and smiled indifferently: "If they do this, their own technology industry will also be a mess of the economy, and they will not be able to develop normally, why don't they completely kick me out of the North American market this time?" The economic losses are too great for them to accurately estimate, and they are not monolithic internally, and the game of interests of all parties is complicated, and we must mediate in it. ”

In Luo Sheng's view, Lao Mei really wants to pull out the thorn of Bluestar Technology Group, and the authorities naturally know that this is in the interests of North America, but there are more important votes than this.

After a while, Luo Sheng looked at Qin Weimu and asked, "Hey, by the way, how much did we earn this time?" ”

Qin Weimu raised a finger: "Net profit of 100 billion US dollars." The cash flow of the family fund has reached $300 billion, the total net assets have reached $450 billion, and the total asset management list has reached $700 billion, surpassing Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway. ”

Luo Sheng: "The Blackstone Fund is the target of our family fund, and you are only now managing more than 700 billion yuan, and the financial market operated by the Blackstone Group is more than 5 trillion US dollars. ”

Qin Weimu smiled and said, "How do you reward me?" ”

Luo Sheng thought for a while and replied, "Then ...... I'll reward you with hundreds of millions. ”

……

At the headquarters of Bluestar Technology, Luo Sheng did not come to the company today, and Lao Zhang was presiding over the internal executive meeting.

"The impact of this A4 paper on our company is still quite obvious, the first round of counterattack did not have much effect, recently international friends are stealing fun, some companies that have broken off cooperation with us have switched to Microsoft, Google, these companies embrace." One of the executives in attendance was speaking.

After he finished speaking, another executive also continued: "Taking the cloud computing service market as an example, due to the impact of this turmoil, our global market share of the cloud computing service market has dropped to 62%, and if we allow it to grow, our share may fall to 40% or even lower." ”

In the field of cloud computing, North America is the largest market, and the output value of cloud computing in this region accounts for about 60% of the world, which is currently the largest cloud service market.

Bluestar Technology has invested the most in the field of cloud computing services in the North American market, after all, the market size here is the largest.

But now that this matter came out, many North American companies had to follow the ban and turned to the arms of local cloud computing service companies in North America.

Lao Zhang, who had been thinking for a long time, suddenly made a decision: "It's time to play the second hand, tomorrow we will announce that the service fee and advertising fee of Nebula Star-Cloud will be reduced by 30%, and the service fee of Bluestar Technology for its major customer groups will be reduced to 22.3% as a whole, worldwide!" ”

Bluestar Technology Group alone has $200 billion in cash reserves, which is the confidence to dare to fight a price war.

However, this news is bad news for the stock market.
