Before Liu Jianwei left the Science and Technology Complex Building, he wrote a personal letter, naturally to recommend his old friend to teach at Harbin Institute of Technology and lead the nanorobot science team to jump ship to Star Arrow International.

In addition to the support of national scientific research institutions, there is really no capital willing to invest money, and the state's funds are limited, and it is more inclined to give priority to the funds to be invested in technical fields that can be quickly applied.

But Luo Sheng is undoubtedly an exception, not only does he like to invest in these areas of basic research, but the key is that he is also the richest man in the world, and he is not bad for money.

Unexpectedly, Luo Sheng was very happy to learn about a top nanotechnology research team, and it was even very likely that he would join Star Arrow International.

This is the invisible and invisible benefit, God knows if Liu Jianwei's old friend will have him recommend his old friend to come over at that time?

I have to admit that even if it is academic, it is divided into circles, and even the atmosphere of circles is stronger.

The space ladder project, in the short term, there is no need to think too much, the next ten to fifteen years may have to carry out cutting-edge technology breakthroughs and precipitation, can really advance the space ladder plan to the substantive stage, there are four key technical pain points must be solved.

The first is the technological breakthrough of new material carbon fiber nanotubes, the second is also the technological breakthrough of new materials at room temperature, and the third is the breakthrough of nanotechnology.

And the fourth is the issue of air and space transportation.

Luo Sheng chose recyclable rocket technology, and one of the major visions of Star Arrow International was that in addition to commercial space launches, the creation of the Starlink program and unmanned autonomous driving, the space ladder will be the biggest mission of Star Arrow International.

As long as these four major technical pain points are solved, the space ladder will inevitably enter the actual planning stage.

As for the infrastructure of the space station, ground base station, and space launch port that this ladder has, mankind has already had a long time of technological precipitation, and the biggest problem with these problems is the incredibly large amount of work and the budget scale of the project.

The Century Project is not just literal, it means a huge investment of human and material resources.

It is impossible to complete this project without a budget of several trillion yuan, but once it is completed, human beings will no longer be limited to the cradle of the earth, at least the expansion of the scope of activities to the periphery of the earth's orbit will become the norm, which is the greatest significance of the existence of the space ladder.

Such a super project of the century was not completed overnight, and it took more than three months to build a model figure, and future planning is important, but it is even more important to pay attention to the present.

Luo Sheng needs money, and he needs to make a lot of money.

Only by making enough money now, in the future, Star Arrow International can become the major shareholder of the space ladder project and get control, ten or twenty years later, the space ladder project cannot be done by Luo Sheng alone, it must be a transnational cooperation project, and the participating giant groups are not one or two, and the national capital will also participate.

Even if he really had the capital to carry out this project alone, Luo Sheng would not do it, it was too risky.

As soon as Liu Jianwei left, Luo Sheng put away the letter of recommendation he wrote, returned to his private office and put the envelope aside, and immediately opened the list of work emails and found that there were two emails that had not been consulted.

It is the 2012 financial report information of Bluestar Technology sent by Zhang Bowen and the 2012 financial report information of the Cote d'Azur sent by Yao Jianhong.

Luo Sheng immediately clicked in to take a look.

In 2012, Bluestar Technology Group's annual revenue was US$115.97 billion, compared with the brilliant performance of US$203 billion in the previous year, which was almost halved, and the annual net profit was US$20.715 billion, compared with US$72 billion in the previous year, only about 28% of it.

This financial report is also in line with the expectations of Wall Street analysts, and because Bluestar Technology has stabilized the European market, Blackstone Group previously predicted that Bluestar Technology's annual revenue would be less than $100 billion, but then supplemented the risk report and adjusted it to $112.8 billion, which is very close to the real data.

Although the performance is not as good as the year before, it is still a multinational technology giant with an annual revenue of more than 100 billion US dollars, taking last year's data as an example, companies that can reach the level of annual revenue of 100 billion US dollars, among the thousands of companies around the world, only a few 65 companies have done it, you must know that the number of enterprises in the world is measured in tens of thousands.

Enterprises with hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue, any one that is casually taken out is either a giant or an industry hegemon, and the whole industry will follow the cold when you sneeze.

Bluestar Technology's turmoil in the last year is the best interpretation, followed by countless "sick" companies.

Because last year's revenue was almost halved, Bluestar Technology fell to 40th place on the world's top 500 list, second only to the French retailer giant Carrefour Group.

Although profits have plummeted, it is still firmly in the top five in the world and is still one of the most profitable companies in the world.

After reading the content of the email, Luo Sheng directly manually edited a paragraph of content and sent it to Zhang Bowen, and then clicked on Yao Jianhong's email.

In the past year, the annual sales of the Cote d'Azur reached 175 billion US dollars, an increase of 27% compared to the previous year, and last year's brother company Bluestar Technology suffered a miserable situation, but the Cote d'Azur was not affected too much, that is, it was forced by Wall Street to adjust the company's asset allocation, but it did not have a substantial impact on the company's operations.

North America didn't start at the same time, and now it's glad that it didn't do it at the same time, just by hitting Bluestar Technology, there are so many moths.

The Cte d'Azur recorded a net profit of $20.125 billion last year, an increase of 21.74% over the previous year, and the net profit margin is a bit low compared to its high-tech, only about 11.5%.

But it can't stand up to the huge base, the Cote d'Azur broke a net profit of $20 billion for the first time last year, even if it is crazy to spend money on research and development, high human resource costs and business operating costs, it is still so profitable.

From this perspective, the high-tech industry is indeed the most profitable.

It is worth mentioning that the Cote d'Azur company did not release new products last year, and the smartphone is still selling Azure-3, which is still a bestseller, and the continued sales of ieP tablets have further driven the sales of Azure-3 mobile phones.

In January this year, the cumulative sales of ACC consoles have exceeded 100 million units, and it has undoubtedly become another phenomenal product for home game consoles.

Hardware sales are the lion's share on the Cte d'Azur, but the more profitable software business is also growing at a promising rate, with the AOS ecosystem contributing $16.5 billion in sales.

The ACC console platform also had a good percentage of game sales, and in the third quarter of last year, the platform's revenue broke even with the amount of subsidies paid to third parties, and finally made a profit of $170 million for the full year.

This means that, starting this year, ACC hosting began to be fully profitable.

But the biggest highlight is the company's smartphone open source system WOS.

Now domestic smartphone brands such as Xiaomi, Huawei Honor, vivo, OPPO, Coolpad, Apple's iPhone and other mobile phone brands all use the WOS ecosystem.

However, there is still a more maverick, Lianxiang's mobile phone business chose the Android system, and the explanation given by the other party is to do global business, so the Android system is relatively suitable for globalization.

There are always people who don't fit in.

It is worth mentioning that there are six or seven foreign mobile phone brands using the WOS operating system, which are basically dispensable small brands, but the biggest brand is not Apple's iPhone.

Last year, the annual shipment of iPhones ranked third in the world, behind Azure and Samsung, and it has to be said that Cook, who has been at the helm of Apple for two years, is indeed a marketing guru.

The WOS open-source system is free, but it has brought a staggering amount of advertising revenue to the Côte d'Azur, contributing 15 billion yuan ($2.2 billion) in advertising revenue throughout last year.

In today's global smartphone market, the Azure brand of the Cote d'Azur is at the top of the food chain and is in the first echelon.

The second echelon is the situation of the two camps, the WOS camp dominated by domestic brands, the most representative brand is the iPhone, although it is an American company, but Apple was decisively pinched by Luo Sheng in the face of a crisis, which also stifled the birth of iOS.

The competitor of WOS is the Android camp, and the most representative brand is Samsung mobile phones, and HTC has been overtaken.

The second echelon is the competition between the two open source systems.

The third echelon is "other", such as Microsoft's mobile phone business, Sony's mobile phone business, and Nokia and other traditional old manufacturers.

After reading the content of the email, Luo Sheng also sent a message back to Yao Jianhong.

It's Chinese New Year, but most of the executives of both companies don't have time to go home for the Chinese New Year.

The executives of Bluestar Technology are working overtime collectively, and last year's crisis has passed, but a large number of problems have been left to be properly handled, otherwise it will affect the operation plan of the new year.

The next day, Bluestar Technology Group publicly disclosed the 2012 financial report information, which met the expectations of Wall Street analysts and still drove the market.

After last year's financing, the total share capital of Bluestar Technology reached 1.95 billion shares, the after-hours stock price was $372.58 per share, the net income per share was $10.62, and the company's total market value was $726.531 billion.

Entering the second month of the new year, the market finally stabilized, and with Buffett's rare heavy holdings of BTC stocks, small and medium-sized investors, fund companies, and even retail investors have dispelled their doubts.

Make up for the position and let's go!

Well, what happened before, the past is not to blame.

The important thing is to grasp the present and build on the future.
