Chapter 707 [The Obvious Ambitions of the Super Tech Giants? 】

Luo Sheng finished breakfast, but the show was not over yet, he didn't close the show, but continued to watch it with interest while lying on the curved sofa.

At this time, the host of the show said: "I once had a telephone interview with Mr. Larry Page, the founder of Alphabet and Google, in which he said that if Alphabet is broken up more and smaller parts, it will not be able to compete with foreign tech giants, such as Huaguo's Bluestar Technology and Ahri Baba and other giants. ”

"I think it's just an excuse for these tech giants, which in economics they call 'national competitiveness,' and their reasoning is that if you weaken us in any way and our power, we won't be able to defend our share of the global market, we won't be able to defeat foreign adversaries and defend American interests," Galoway said. ”

Speaking of this, Galloway scoffed: "But judging from the results, it seems that these tech giants in Silicon Valley still have not beaten foreign competitors, but have been beaten." ”

Moderator: "So you don't agree with that?" ”

Galloway nodded: "I don't believe that Larry Page's statement is true, because smaller and more nimble technology companies have stronger countervailing capabilities than large companies, allowing giant-level companies to run rampant in the world, which is absolutely unfriendly to the world and to society as a whole." ”

The host asked rhetorically: "The question is, it is still difficult to defeat foreign tech giants, and if they are broken up, wouldn't there be no chance of winning?" ”

"I think the top brass on both sides should start higher-level negotiations and agree to periodically break up their giant companies, just like they did with the Russians to reduce their nuclear arsenals," Galoway said. ”

Hearing this, Luo Sheng directly gave Galloway two words: naïve.

Such an idea is undoubtedly a naïve idealist, and the naivety of Galoway lies in the fact that he is detached from the basis of reality, and thinks of human nature too beautifully, and the weakness of human nature, its greed, is destined to be impossible.

The "chain of suspicion" in the story of "The Three-Body Problem" can be said to perfectly explain the impossibility of Galoy's idea, and there is a bloody example in reality, that is, Tungsten Crane.

Back then, the "silly white sweet" tungsten crane thought that Eagle Sauce was a good person, and resolutely dismantled his nuclear forces, and now he knows that he was fooled, and it was too late to know that the other party was a hooligan, so he paid the price of blood.

If it wasn't so "silly and sweet" at the beginning, as the world's third largest nuclear force, it would have to be polite when dealing with Tungsten Crane.

"2018 is the first year of 'world domination' for the tech giants, and if we don't make changes, everyone will live in the shadow of these super tech empires for the rest of their lives," said Galloway. I've listed four of the world's tech giants and written a book – The Four. ”

After speaking, Galloway took out his book and displayed it in the interview camera, which was translated as "The Big Four".

When Luo Sheng saw this, he seriously doubted that this product was here to advertise his book.

Moderator: "What are the big four tech giants?" ”

Galloway: "The Côte d'Azur, Bluestar Technologies, Google and Amazon. Both in terms of market capitalization and influence, these four companies have been successful companies in the past decade, and how do they infiltrate the lives of ordinary people? Why is it that their stock prices are skyrocketing at the same time that they are causing serious social problems, and that no one can stand up to them when they are trillion-dollar companies? ”

"Of course, among these four companies, the Cote d'Azur has not been listed so far, but I think no one will doubt that as long as it is listed, it must be a trillion-dollar super company, even more exaggerated than Bluestar Technology, the company's revenue this year will surpass Wal-Mart Group to become the world's top 500, which is the optimistic expectation of the vast majority of people."

It is worth mentioning that at the end of the first quarter of 2018, there are already four companies around the world standing above the trillion dollar mark, and three of the Big Four Galoway is talking about.

In addition to Bluestar Technology Group and Azure Electric Vehicle Company, which have already exceeded a trillion dollar market capitalization, Google and Amazon exceeded a trillion dollars for the first time in March this year.

This is all because the stock market accelerated its sprint after the collapse of Bluestar Technology and rushed to the trillion dollar mark earlier.

This is also something that industry insiders did not expect.

"Whether you're a competitor, a partner, or just a casual user of their product, you need to know about the greatest companies of our time," Galoway added. ”

Moderator: "Great? This doesn't seem to be quite in line with what you've said before. ”

Galoway: "Of course, they are great companies, and they have driven the progress of human society and technology, there is no doubt about that. However, this does not mean that they will continue to be great, and the problem we are facing now is that these four super-tech giants are comprehensively covering and continuously feeding our material and spiritual needs. ”

"I describe them in this book as the 'Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse', the power in the hands of the Four Horsemen is growing, and Luo Sheng's global power is growing exponentially and he has super power, so I say that he is the most dangerous person in the world."

At this point, the screen switches to a piece of data.

Galloway's voice continued on the show: "This set of data is very intuitive, Google occupies more than 90% of the global search market; 95% of young people are using Bluestar Technology and its products; 50% of online transactions and 80% of e-book transactions are completed through Amazon; The Cote d'Azur has $350 billion in cash, and only 9 of the world's listed companies have a market value higher than this, but this is only the Cote d'Azur's cash assets. ”

So far, the world's 10th listed company is Johnson & Johnson, which now has a market capitalization of $340 billion.

"The cash on hand on the Côte d'Azur is larger than the market capitalization of the bottom 245 companies in the S&P combined, and Azure phones have a monopoly of more than 90% of the industry's profits, although they only have a market share of about 15 percent. ”

"The Big Four have shown themselves in the past fiscal quarter's statements, the Cote d'Azur with the explosive effect of Azure-5 has increased its revenue by 22% quarter-on-quarter and reached the threshold of more than $200 billion in a single quarter for the first time, Bluestar Technology's revenue soared 37% to a single-quarter profit of $12.87 billion, and Google's revenue has continued to maintain an average growth of about 20% in the past 30 quarters to $30 billion in single-quarter revenue; Amazon's revenue jumped 37.5% to $60 billion and for the first time it gave a profit of more than $1 billion, and finally there was no loss. ”

"68% of magnesium people get information through the products of Bluestar Technology and Google, and more than 70% of the traffic flowing into major media websites comes from these two super technology giants, and the survival of these media websites is highly dependent on the compassion of Google and Bluestar Technology, and Bluestar Technology is pinching 33% of the traffic sources of the New York Times, so we found that in the past month, the New York Times criticized Luo Sheng and his company much weaker than its peers.

At this moment, Luo Sheng, who was an audience, smiled slightly when he heard this, no wonder the "New York Times" didn't hack himself very strongly in the past, not as good as CNN, it turned out to be this reason.

The New York Times still has scheming, and before seeing Luo Sheng's really irreversible collapse, he still doesn't dare to increase his efforts easily, pinching one-third of the traffic is tantamount to being pinched by the throat of fate, black is one thing, but eating is more important.

"For global consumers, we can only pray that Google and Bluestar Technology will consciously not do evil, otherwise these two supergiants will still choke the entrance to the Internet, and they will want to feed fake news, fake news, fake information into our throats, and what is even more terrifying is that at this moment you may even deceive yourself that you have a free illusion, completely unaware." ”

Allen, an ordinary Internet user in North America, is watching this late-night show, and he thinks so, he has been fed by Google before, but he supports Bluestar Technology even more, because Bluestar Technology has not done evil since its establishment.

The show is almost at the end here, and at this time, the director switches the camera and releases the Amazon logo.

Galoway explains: "In fact, all the ambitions of the mega-tech giants have been revealed, you can look at this logo of Amazon, and below 'Amazon' is a smiling arrow pointing from A to Z, the Bible: Revelation 1:8 - the Lord God says: I am Alpha, I am Omega, the Almighty who was, is, and will always be." ”

The host accosted: "Arafa, Omega is the first and last two letters of the Greek alphabet. ”

"Amazon's logo has been changed since the turn of the millennium, and it is as clear as a sickle and hammer, how ambitious does a company have to be to use a passage from the Bible that God has said to implicitly endorse itself?" Google also understood it, so they changed their name to the awkward Alphabet (alphabet), barely falling behind. ”

"And Bluestar Technology has made no secret from beginning to end, isn't our planet a blue planet? The scary thing is that the name hasn't changed since the day it was born, and I think Luo Sheng was very clear about his goals from the beginning, which is both admirable and unsettling, in a sense, his strength is above Jeff and Page. ”

Luo Sheng, who watched the show, felt quite different, although his evaluation of Galloway was a naïve idealist, but there was indeed something, and the angle of analysis and interpretation was quite tricky.
