Throughout mid-to-late March, Bluestar Technology became the focus of the Internet community, to be precise, Weibo/MicroBlog became the focus of the topic.

With the end of the SXSW Music Festival, the second round of Weibo/MicroBlog publicity was immediately connected, and the "Blue Star Family Bucket" under Bluestar Technology Group relied on its current strong user base and influence to link and drain traffic.

But there is no large-scale small advertising, which is what Luo Sheng hates the most, although he knows that it works, but he hopes to reduce the damage to the user experience when promoting as much as possible.

Therefore, the main means is to send emails and background messages to some users who have reached a certain level of followers of Bluespace, including some well-known up masters of BluestarVideo.

Invite these people to register Weibo/MicroBlog accounts, and then let these up masters introduce users to follow their social accounts, which indirectly drives the majority of ordinary users.

The users who received the official invitation email of Bluestar Technology have all entered Weibo/MicroBlog without exception, because it is very beneficial to them, and there is no reason not to do it, so they are all very positive.

In late March, Li Mingyuan and David Sachs were in the limelight in the domestic tech world and North America's Silicon Valley, respectively.

Li Mingyuan, who is in charge of Weibo, was invited to participate in an industry symposium on March 27, Luo Sheng can't be invited, big name, so the CEOs of other subsidiaries should always be invited, right?

But the result of the fact is that the heads of other subsidiaries are not very fond of bragging, perhaps because of the influence of the founder, the so-called upward and downward effect, it is still difficult to invite.

Actually, Li Mingyuan didn't want to participate, but in view of the fact that Weibo has just been launched, it is also necessary to come out and brush up on the sense of existence, and now it is time to be alone.

At the symposium, the host looked at the young guest Li Mingyuan and said: "We found that the propaganda slogan of Weibo is 'everyone is a media person', which can't help but remind me of two Americans." In July 2003, two Americans, named Shein Bowman and Chris Willis, explicitly put forward the concept of 'We-Media', which literally translates to 'our media', and the two Americans have a very strict definition of what is called 'We-Media'. ”

At this moment, when the host paused, Li Mingyuan decisively took advantage of this gap and said in advance: "I want to say one thing, it is true that the Americans proposed the concept of 'We-Media' in July 2003, but in fact, Mr. Luo had already proposed it a month earlier, of course, I had not joined Bluestar Technology at that time, and I joined the following year." ”

As soon as these words came out, the people in the industry present couldn't help but be stunned for a while, is there such a thing?

The host immediately realized that there was material, and immediately said: "Mr. Luo? However, it didn't come out. ”

Li Mingyuan: "Of course it didn't come out, because this is our internal communication, a very important corporate culture of Bluestar Technology, in addition to food, it is 40 minutes of exchange of ideas and brainstorming every day." ”

Moderator: "The corporate culture of Bluestar Technology is indeed very unique, but since the internal communication has not been transmitted, it should be inconvenient to disclose, right?" Needless to say, it is inconvenient to involve trade secrets. ”

Li Mingyuan: "Uh, no, no, this is actually not a trade secret, if I did, I wouldn't open this chatterbox, it didn't come out because the company was really busy, products were launched one after another, and I didn't have time to participate in interviews and exchanges." Shein Portman and Chris define it basically the same as Mr. Luo, but the term given by Mr. Luo is 'self-media'. ”

Self-media?

The industry insiders present couldn't help but think in their hearts when they heard it, We-Media, our media, and self-media.

What a second for this conceptual noun!

Just now, everyone was skeptical that they would plagiarize the concept proposed by others, but now that the concept of "self-media" has come out, it makes people believe a little.

Li Mingyuan continued: "Mr. Luo not only first put forward the concept of 'self-media' in internal communication, and defined it, but also predicted the development trend of self-media in the future. ”

As soon as these words came out, the people in the industry present suddenly pricked up their ears, and it was really a huge loss for Luo Sheng not to come out to participate in the industry exchange.

李明远 says:

Mr. Luo believes that the development of self-media will go through three stages in the next ten years, with Weibo and MicroBlog being the first stage before the birth of Weibo and MicroBlog, which is also the initialization stage, which is represented by BBS; Entering the era of web2.0, this popular statement is also a concept proposed by Mr. Luo, who believes that the second stage is the embryonic stage of self-media, which will be represented by personal websites, blogs, and microblogs; The third stage is the awakening stage of self-media awareness, mainly in the field of self-media with web portals, videos, e-commerce platforms, etc., and the platform is diversified. ”

"At present, the birth of self-media is only a few years, according to Mr. Luo's point of view, these three stages will exist at the same time, but the relative subjects are different, and Weibo must become one of the major subjects."

In fact, Li Mingyuan still didn't say the real point, that is, the trend of mobile Internet platforms was not mentioned.

The concept of mobile Internet, Luo Sheng has said in the company's internal core executive group, Li Mingyuan is definitely one of the core members of Bluestar Technology, and he has long been aware of Luo Sheng's purpose of establishing the Cote d'Azur.

The boss is in a big game of chess.

Through Li Mingyuan's dictation, the concept of "self-media" has really entered the public's field of vision, and what is even more surprising is that Luo Sheng has already put forward this concept early, and also made a phased prediction, which shows that Bluestar Technology is now launching Weibo, I am afraid that he was already brewing in 2003.

As the exchange continued, the industry insiders present more and more hoped that Luo Sheng could come out to chat and share his Internet thinking with the outside world.

Now, everyone no longer suspects that Luo Sheng plagiarized the concept of Americans, because it is completely unnecessary. With his current "coffee position" in the industry, he can't do it at all, not to mention that Bluestar Technology is practicing it.

However, everyone is also very sideways to Li Mingyuan, he can become an executive of Bluestar Technology at such a young age, and he is in charge of one side, which is equivalent to the princes of Bluestar Technology, an Internet business empire.

It is not unreasonable to be able to become a "prince of one party".

In the days that followed, there was no doubt that a new wave of imitation was coming.

Li Mingyuan's exchange at the symposium also caused great repercussions in the industry, including web portals and e-commerce platforms.

And the concept of "self-media" has also spread in the industry, in this environment where everyone is imitating Bluestar Technology and frantically touching Luo Sheng to cross the river, what he said is too influential, even if it is indirectly circulated through the mouths of others.

Because the facts are in front of us, the current dazzling achievements of Bluestar Technology are on display.

With the passage of time, it came to April 11, 2005, on this day, the domestic science and technology community, North American Silicon Valley, and Wall Street all focused on Bluestar Technology Group.

Ten days have passed in April, and the long-awaited first-quarter financial report of Bluestar Technology Group should also come out!

All investors in Bluestar Technology, including the industry, are extremely concerned about this company, because earlier at the beginning of the year, it was rumored that the company was ready to seek profitability.

As the saying goes, a mule is a horse, and you will know it when you pull it out and walk it.

When it just entered April, the major VCs couldn't wait to urge the company to release the financial report information quickly, even if it was not publicly disclosed, it should be disclosed internally as soon as possible, anyway, it has not been listed yet.

Investors are also excited after entering April, under this complex and intertwined emotions, Bluestar Technology finally disclosed the company's first quarter financial report for 2005.

……

Pengcheng, Tengxun headquarters.

Mr. Xu's secretary entered his office with a paper newspaper in his hand. "Mr. Xu, Bluestar Technology publicly disclosed its financial statements for the first quarter this morning."

With that, his secretary handed him a financial newspaper in his hand.

And Xu Chenghua quickly opened the newspaper, and the headline on the front page was the first quarter financial report publicly disclosed by Bluestar Technology, Bluestar Technology finally disclosed the financial report, and Teng Xun will also disclose the financial report the day after tomorrow.

When Xu Chenghua opened the newspaper and saw the content on it, the whole person fell into a stupor, staring at the data in the newspaper in disbelief, and after coming back to his senses, it was indescribable to look at the numbers.

"What? This ......"
