Time into mid to late April, Bluestar Technology Group on April 19 released the first quarter of 2013 audited financial report, Zhang Bowen also held a regular media conference on the performance statement, to the market and investors to convey the company's outlook for this year, but refused to set specific performance indicators for the group company.

Bluestar Technology has never set exact performance targets for the next quarter or fiscal year, and neither does Google, which does not want to be a slave to money and a money-making machine.

According to the financial report, Bluestar Technology Group's global operating income in the first quarter was 23.65 billion US dollars, compared with 21.17 billion US dollars in the previous quarter, which not only stopped falling, but also rose by 11.71%.

The net profit in the first quarter was 3.831 billion US dollars, with a net profit margin of 16.2%, the lowest revenue in the history of Bluestar Technology, and the net profit margin during the subversive period once soared to a terrifying level of 37%.

However, for the current Bluestar Technology, the net profit margin is really not the focus, the focus is on the growth rate of revenue, which means that the recovery of market share and the development of emerging markets are rewarding.

As long as it occupies enough market share and forms a de facto monopoly situation, it will be fattened and killed, and the profits lost today will be included in the pocket in the future.

The audited earnings report was in line with Wall Street analysts' expectations, and the next day the Nasdaq stock market reacted in a timely manner, with shares of Bluestar Technology Group jumping 6% to close at $459.28 per share in after-hours trading, with a total market capitalization of $895.6 billion, firmly occupying the throne of the world's largest listed company, more than twice that of ExxonMobil Oil Company, which ranked second.

In the past year, the stock of Bluestar Technology has experienced many surges and falls, and then risen, abusing retail investors to death, but the three ups and downs have never lost the throne of the world's first listed company, which also reflects the trend of the current era of technology oligarchy replacing oil and financial oligarchy.

Bluestar Technology is the actual top brand of global technology stocks today, not to mention, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are all catching up, and driving economic growth with emerging technologies is the theme of the future.

……

With the passage of time, into the second half of April, the 2013 annual developer conference of Bluestar Technology Group was held on the 28th of this month.

The developer conference will be held in the indoor lobby of the new headquarters in Mobius Ring, a large event venue that can accommodate up to four or five thousand people, and developers from all over the world have already arrived in Sioux City two days ago.

It's also a busy time for developers around the world, traveling to the headquarters of the world's biggest tech giants to attend conferences.

No, the upcoming May is Google's I/O conference, followed by Microsoft's developer conference, Oracle's OOW conference, and so on.

Nine a.m.

More than 3,000 developers from more than 100 countries and regions around the world gathered at the conference, and most of them had an Apple computer and an Azure-3 or ieP tablet.

From time to time, there are media reporters carrying camera equipment to shoot in the aisle, and in the best position, the first reporter has occupied and set up their own equipment.

The overall lighting of the auditorium was dim, and the audience seemed quite quiet, with most of the developers staring at their work computers on their laps, or quietly thinking about something, and some people whispering to each other.

At this time, the microphone at the scene sounded: "Ladies and gentlemen! Applause welcomes Mr. Lu Qi, Vice President of Bluestar Technology Group and CEO of Cloud Computing Department, to unveil the developer conference. ”

The lights in the auditorium area of the venue were all turned off, and the lights focused on the stage in front of them, and there was a not very warm applause from the scene.

I saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses, a white long-sleeved shirt, and a tie walking onto the stage in a hurry.

But this person is a technology master who everyone knows and knows in the industry.

Lu Qi, a man whose giants in the global IT industry have broken his heart for his next job after leaving Yahoo, was contested by Bluestar Technology and Microsoft at the same time, and finally Lu Qi chose to join Bluestar Technology and is in charge of the most important product, StarCloud.

Today, Lu Qi is already one of the directors of Bluestar Technology Group, as early as two years ago Luo Sheng nominated him to sit on the board of directors, and is now one of the absolute core executives of the group company, and his annual salary has risen to more than 150 million US dollars, which is higher than the company's No. 2 Zhang Bowen.

However, compared to the annual salary, the 0.325% option stock award that Lu Qi has received since joining Bluestar Technology is the majority, and according to the current market value of Bluestar Technology, the value of his shares is as high as $2.9 billion, not counting his other assets.

However, the wealth has reached the level of Lu Qi and the others, and they can't squander it in a lifetime, and career ideals and spiritual pursuits are what they desire.

At this moment, Lu Qi on the stage made a simple development greeting and went straight to the point: "This year is the 10th anniversary of the birth of Bluestar Technology, from this year we no longer regard ourselves as Internet advertising service providers, from this developer conference, in a special year belonging to the group company, we announced that we have chosen to fully transform into an AI software service provider, and are committed to integrating AI systematization into this system." ”

The developers in the audience listened and watched silently, and their international friends and peers also paid attention silently.

Lu Qi's words undoubtedly show that Bluestar Technology is betting on All in the field of artificial intelligence this time, and many people still clearly remember that the last time was Luo Sheng announced All in's cloud computing services in 2006, and smashed all the $5.6 billion in the IPO at that time.

As a result of that all-in, Bluestar Technology has now become the world's largest cloud service company, invincible in the industry.

This time, the industry will not be like the last time, the world's major technology giants have made efforts in the field of artificial intelligence, and the craze has not only not faded, but has further climbed.

Lu Qi's methodical voice resounded throughout the audience: "In the context of today's era when cloud services are about to enter the flood, Bluestar Technology wants to use artificial intelligence to play a differentiated advantage in the industry. ”

Lu Qi said loudly: "We will propose a new concept and integrate it into a strategy for the coordinated development of two parallel businesses. Namely: [Intelligent-Cloud] and [Intelligent-Edge]. ”

Luo Sheng or Bluestar Technology likes to put forward new concepts every day, what cloud computing, big data, self-media, etc., everyone is used to.

In fact, this is also a side foil for Bluestar Technology to always maintain strong innovation vitality.

"In the traditional sense, cloud computing requires user data to be transmitted to large server arrays through layers of networks for processing, but most IoT devices do not need particularly powerful computing power to support them, which causes unnecessary waste of network resources."

The industry is excited to hear this, especially some enterprise-level customer groups, which is actually to show the industry that Bluestar Technology is developing new technologies to further reduce costs, and in turn to enhance the international competitiveness of products and solutions.

International friends and business peers listened to but quite dignified, reducing costs means improving international competitiveness, now Bluestar technology solutions compared to Google, Microsoft, SAFTSE these enterprises, is really good quality and cheap, the international competitiveness it brings is to make peers envious and jealous.

Some companies in North America have begun to complain, calling for the authorities to lay off employees if they do not allow the company to cooperate with Bluestar Technology, or the authorities to subsidize the company.

There is no way, the high cost will inevitably lead to a lack of competitiveness, the most typical is the competition between PrestoMall, a local e-commerce company in Malesia, and Amazon, an outsider.

Amazon's ambitious entry into the Southeast Asian market is that it will soon be able to get this market, and the bald Bezos has vowed to occupy this market in half a year.

As a result, the face was swollen and embarrassed, and now the local PrestoMall company has begun to take off, and the growth rate of nearly 200% in two fiscal years has left Amazon far behind, and now it has access to the solution of Bluestar Technology, and its competitiveness has undoubtedly been further improved.

Many people already know Luo Sheng's strategic intentions, one of the main lines of Bluestar Technology's strategy to develop emerging market economic regions is to help local enterprises improve their international competitiveness, and then compete with enterprises in developed countries, so as to force enterprises in developed countries to return to the authorities and put pressure on the authorities.

At the same time, this move can also be strongly supported by the authorities of emerging market economies, and under this "altruistic" and mutually beneficial strategy, local support is not in suspense and reasonable.

Therefore, Bluestar Technology is widely popular in emerging markets in the third world.

"Edge computing is actually about deploying servers in a local or small network environment to provide computing power support for IoT devices nearby, so as to further reduce the access cost of AI cloud computing."

"In terms of intelligent cloud computing, Bluestar Technology will launch two new 'cloud programming tools' for developers around the world this year, the first is called IntelliCode, which has built-in AI that allows developers to provide intelligent suggestions in the programming process, thereby improving code quality and increasing productivity."

When the code farmer heard it, his eyes lit up, a good thing.

Another software, called LiveShare, allows multiple developers to collaborate on code programming and debugging in real time in the programming environment owned by Bluestar Technology Group.

"In terms of intelligent edge computing services, Bluestar Technology has chosen its open source cloud platform and launched supporting hardware facilities, so that third-party IoT device developers can apply their technologies to their own products more easily."

Speaking of this, Lu Qi showed off with a calm expression but showed off seriously: "Among them, the two major projects of PKB and PBB that we are going to launch this year are the killer features that Bluestar Technology is proud of in Star-IoT-Edge technology. ”

"Among them, PKB is a small deep learning sensor suite, which embeds a variety of sensors including a new generation of depth sensors under Bluestar Technology, combined with Bluestar Technology's edge computing architecture services, and can be used to process computer vision tasks."

"PBB, on the other hand, is a dedicated processing platform for artificial intelligence, in which the core computing equipment is a machine learning chip, and thanks to the physical characteristics of this type of chip, developers can program and customize this chip function by themselves."

Bluestar Technology has also begun to deeply lay out the underlying architecture, which makes the Silicon Valley technology giants feel extremely uncomfortable.

Or is the crackdown not strong enough?
