Chapter 165 [What is the most valuable in the new century?] (Ask... Order... Ask for a subscription... )】

Burning money more than the company's online streaming online video business?

Everyone couldn't help but be secretly surprised when they heard it, you must know that so far, the module with the largest operating cost of Bluestar Technology is the online video business sector.

This is still not agreed with the major entertainment companies on copyright issues, and if copyright videos are introduced, it will be an astronomical expense.

Luo Sheng looked around at everyone and said: "The company is very rich and short of money now, so I decided that the company will not pay dividends this year, nor will it pay dividends next year, and it will not pay dividends in the next five, ten, or twenty years. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other, and there were no dividends for ten or twenty years, that is, if you want to sit and wait to hold Bluestar Technology shares to eat dividends, don't think about it, the executives present are now shareholders of Bluestar Technology, and everyone's options have not been completely converted into real shares, but some of them have been converted into real shares through exercise.

The company decides whether to pay dividends or not, of course, the board of directors has the final say, and the board of directors is Luo Sheng.

He said that if he doesn't share dividends, then he definitely can't share dividends.

However, everyone did not think it was inappropriate, because the dividends were far less than the income of the stock price appreciation, and the proportion of the hands was a few tenths of a percentage, and it was very good to divide it into hundreds of thousands of a year, but the dividends were used for the development of the company, and the stock price was doubled, and it was ten times the benefit to cash out a little at will.

Shareholders want both stock appreciation income and dividends, which is impossible in Luo Sheng.

Bond issuance is also necessary, the richer the company is, the more it has to issue bonds, Luo Sheng's last life, the trillion market value of Apple, one or two hundred billion cash reserves are still issuing bonds abroad.

Is Apple short of money? Of course not!

Even in this life, even now, Apple under the leadership of Qiao Gang has not paid dividends for more than ten years.

Erin spoke at this time: "But the law stipulates that the company must pay dividends once in five years." ”

Luo Sheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Once in five years, it doesn't matter, just divide it, then divide it once in five years, and divide it once...... 5 million, not dollars, soft sister coins. ”

Everyone: "......"

Some investors who want to sit back and wait for the dividends of Bluestar Technology shares will definitely be angry if they hear this.

At this time, Luo Sheng put away his careless attitude, sat upright, looked around at everyone and said seriously: "All of you here are not only the actual managers of the company, but also shareholders. Dividends are small profits, and they lose big because of small ones. Historically, in 1985, 90% of the world's listed companies would pay dividends, but this year the proportion is only one-third. ”

Luo Sheng sat with his back to the chair again, and added: "It is a new international trend for listed companies not to pay dividends, and I am not blindly following the new trend, let alone going against the general trend, which is correct." For shareholders, the more important and better return is the share price increase, not the dividend. What is the proportional dividend? How much is the share price doubling? Right? ”

Everyone nodded silently, Luo Sheng's words are indeed true, if you are worried that the stock market will not be good in the future, then sell some of it now and cash out, and the amount of cash you will cash out may exceed the dividend income in the next 20 years or even longer, which is equivalent to getting 20 years of dividend income in advance, and you also hold most of the stocks.

There is no doubt that the net profit is concentrated in the company's cash pool and used to grow the company, thereby increasing the stock price, and the return on the stock price will always be greater than the dividend.

It is impossible to enjoy the benefits of the stock price rise and the dividends of the other side.

As long as Luo Sheng is at the helm of this company, this will never happen.

Shareholders must be unhappy, especially major shareholders, who are definitely against it, people are greedy.

However, Luo Sheng didn't care if they were happy or not, and they didn't care if they objected.

Luo Sheng's idea is very simple, change the thinking of core management, if you really can't turn it, then get rid of it, and it won't beep too much.

Even if Xu Yong, as the co-founder, dares to shout for dividends, Luo Sheng still will not hesitate, if he is not in charge of the army, how can he be indecisive if he achieves great things?

However, after Luo Sheng said this, the management team originally had doubts, but now they have solved them.

Because relatively speaking, none of them are major shareholders like Wall Street, and dividends are indeed the lowest returns for them.

On the contrary, if the stock price is up, their earnings will be higher.

Xu Yong must be a major shareholder, as the co-founder of Bluestar Technology, he still holds 2.96% of BTC shares after cashing out, and is the company's second largest individual shareholder after Luo Sheng.

But for Xu Yong, this has made him very satisfied, and the wealth he has is already an astronomical amount, and in his eyes it is just a string of numbers.

"Let's talk about new projects, this year to strive to achieve a market value of 100 billion mark, this time there must be a big move."

Xu Yong did not disappoint Luo Sheng, at this moment he decisively jumped out to cooperate with Luo Sheng, over the years he followed Luo Sheng together to "practice" has also grown a lot, as a co-founder, he is unswervingly standing on the same front with Luo Sheng, is the co-founder to help the leader, not to add chaos, this is Xu Yong's biggest achievement summed up now.

When the senior management at the meeting heard this, they immediately put aside their thoughts and wanted to get greater benefits, and make every effort to make the company bigger and stronger than anything else, so everyone looked at the big boss in unison.

Hearing this, Luo Sheng said with a smile: "In the next period of time, the company's stock price may fluctuate greatly, so don't care, because once this project starts, the market may not be optimistic, and if you want to make the stock price 100 billion US dollars this year, it depends on whether the market has confidence in us." ”

It is not known whether the market has confidence or not, but the managers present are absolutely confident.

Especially Feng Yi and others, who followed Luo Sheng all the way in the early days, already have blind confidence and admiration for him.

After another moment, Luo Sheng looked at everyone and said: "During the global roadshow of our company's IPO, a rather low-key e-commerce company in North America silently launched a new product and service in March this year, called ...... Elastic Compute Cloud Service. Well, who knows? Who has followed? ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, most of them had never heard of it, where did they still have the leisure to pay attention to these during that time period.

But it's not all, just when Luo Sheng was half-selling Guanzi-style bricks and jade, Zhang Bowen, who was at the meeting, immediately said uncertainly: "Mr. Luo, is this company you are talking about North American e-commerce Amazon company?" ”

Luo Sheng glanced at Zhang Bowen in surprise, and then nodded and smiled: "Yes, it is an Amazon company that started by selling books." ”

After taking a sip of water, he continued: "[Elastic computing cloud service] is a new concept, but if you pay attention to the history of the IT industry, you should know that Sun Microsystems, a technology that can be traced back to 1988 when John Gage, the co-founder of Sun Microsystems, first proposed the concept of 'network is computer'. ”

"If you go back further, it may be until 1979 when IBM launched the IBM-PC, and computers were popularized from enterprises to individuals, and users could have their own personal computers."

"Then I'll combine 'elastic computing cloud service' with 'network is computer', and change it to a new term [Cloud Computing], which translates to [cloud computing]."

Cloud computing?

Everyone couldn't help but silently recite this new concept in their hearts, and they felt quite novel for a while.

The boss has always liked to put forward some new concepts, such as [web2.0], [self-media] and other new terms are now passed on by word of mouth in the industry, competing to quote.

Because it's really easy to use, it's also concise and to the point.

After a while, Xu Yong said: "I know about Sun, and I have the impression that when the boss said this, it is true that 'the network is a computer' was first put forward as a concept in the late nineties of the last century. ”

Xu Yong turned to look at Luo Sheng and added: "But this is still a concept, this technology is only considered to be able to be applied to supercomputers until now, and ordinary Internet users can enjoy such cloud computing services?" Even if I could...... I'm afraid it will be a long time before it happens. ”

Luo Sheng said: "Cloud computing, strictly speaking, is not a cutting-edge technology concept, but there is no doubt that it will be born and applied, and it will also change the world, and will bring unimaginable horror benefits." What is the most valuable thing in the new century? You might say talent? Core technology? Yes, but neither, it's data! Big data is the most valuable! ”

It's another new concept and noun, big data and cloud computing, which everyone can't understand.

Seeing this, Luo Sheng thought about it, changed his expression, and said, "Let me tell you this." Why is it that QQ, as a social product, has extremely poor advertising monetization capabilities, while BlueSpace can now bring us billions of revenue every quarter? Well? ”

Everyone looked at each other.

Is it because of big data?
