During this time, major IT giants have also released their own financial reports.

On July 27, the third day of the release of Bluestar Technology Group's Q2 financial report, Microsoft also disclosed its own performance statement.

According to foreign media reports, the website of "Business Week" published an article report.

After Intel, Bluestar Technology, IBM and other IT companies have released earnings reports that exceeded investors' expectations, Microsoft has issued a completely different voice from these companies, and its net profit has fallen sharply.

According to Microsoft's financial report, in the financial report as of June 30, the total revenue was 16.6 billion US dollars, and the net profit was 3.05 billion US dollars, with revenue down 17% year-on-year and net profit down 29% year-on-year.

Bluestar Technology Group's total revenue of $12.77 billion, but its net profit surpassed Microsoft's.

The net profit of $3.05 billion is indeed a huge amount, but it is the second consecutive profit shrinkage in Microsoft's 23-year history.

As Microsoft's net profit and revenue both fell short of analysts' expectations, investors sold Microsoft shares in subsequent after-hours trading, causing the company's stock price to fall by as much as 8.84% in after-hours trading.

As of now, Microsoft's share price on the NASDAQ is $23.30, down $2.26, corresponding to a market capitalization of $206.7 billion.

Before the earnings report, there were still $227.4 billion, and more than $20 billion evaporated compared with the two.

Before Microsoft released this disappointing financial report for investors, the entire securities market has been rising because of the rebound in the performance of major IT companies, compared with Bluestar Technology, which is currently the world's largest IT listed company in terms of market capitalization, on the day of Microsoft's stock price crash, Bluestar Technology's share price rose again by about 4.27%, and Microsoft's top and bottom executives were congested.

As a result, the total market value of Bluestar Technology has reached 256.3 billion US dollars, surpassing ICBC to rank third among listed companies in the world, ahead of the first Huaguo Petroleum and the second ExxonMobil.

Luo Sheng reads two newspapers with the latest information every day, one for the industry and one for the academic community.

He has also paid attention to Microsoft's recent situation, Bluestar Technology has now overturned Microsoft's throne as the first share of IT technology giants, and proudly ascended the throne in the world as a new king, no one expected that in such a short period of time, it would have opened a gap of about 50 billion US dollars with Microsoft.

However, in Luo Sheng's view, Microsoft's prospects are still relatively bright, and it is expected that Windows 7 will stimulate a new round of computer sales after its release in October, and Microsoft has announced plans to launch a new version of Office software next year.

Most people think that Microsoft's most profitable is the Windows system, but in fact, the business only contributed $3.1 billion to Microsoft's $16.6 billion revenue in the quarter, and the most profitable is the actual Office software.

……

Qin Weimu's villa.

It's night.

Luo Sheng walked out of the bathroom slowly, wiped the water droplets on his hair with a bath towel, and almost threw the bath towel aside to the bedroom.

At this moment, Qin Weimu is sitting with her back to the head of the bed, she is wearing a dressing gown from the Italian luxury brand La Perla, giving people a high-end sexy elegance, she personally loves this brand.

But Erin loves French brands.

Obviously, Luo Sheng's appearance at her villa shows that today is an odd-numbered day of the week.

She Qin Weimu was staring at the screen with an Azure mobile phone, and when she saw Luo Sheng coming in, she immediately said, "Foreign news, maybe you should watch this video." ”

Luo Sheng got into the bed and grinned, and subconsciously said, "Cortana, cut the video to the home screen." ”

After saying that, he stared at the LCD screen on the wall and waited, but after he finished speaking, there was no response.

After a while, Luo Sheng realized that it was Qin Weimu's house, not the science and technology complex building, and her villa was not connected to the smart home hosting system.

"Cortana?"

Hearing the sound floating from the side, Luo Sheng subconsciously turned his head over, only to see Qin Weimu focusing on it with a death-like gaze.

Luo Sheng suddenly sweated wildly, and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation first, it is definitely a big misunderstanding, Xiao Na is an artificial intelligence developed by me, Nov Nafu, nicknamed Xiao Nafu." ”

"Really?"

Qin Weimu stared at his eyes motionlessly, trying to see if Luo Sheng was lying, but she didn't look away for too long, because she also knew that if this guy wanted to disguise, she would basically not see valuable information from her eyes.

"It's true, am I so stupid to tell this kind of lie that can be broken at the first poke?" Luo Sheng said with an oath.

Qin Weimu turned his head and looked at Luo Sheng again: "So you still have a lie about me that can't be broken?" ”

Luo Sheng: "......"

At the end, Luo Shengsheng said unlovely: "Baby, this is not a construction site, let's not raise the bar, okay?" Or you might as well move into a tech complex. ”

I suddenly felt so tired of explaining this kind of problem to a woman.

Qin Weimu didn't continue to talk about this issue, nor did he say anything, and directly threw the mobile phone in his hand to him.

Luo Sheng picked it up and looked at it, it was an interview video, and when he saw the interviewee, he was surprised and said, "What are you asking me to watch Larry Ellison's interview for?" I don't really like it. ”

Seeing that Qin Weimu did not respond, Luo Sheng immediately clicked to play the interview video.

This is a video of Oracle founder Larry Ellison being interviewed by Fox Television.

In the video being played, Ellison says, "...... I'm very happy to see the U.S. economy recover, but I think it's time to be more wary of a new competitor, the Chinese, if they let their economy surpass ours, if they train more engineers than we do, if they let their technology companies beat our technology companies, it won't be long before our military will lag behind them, and so is our economy, and we are gradually competing more and more fiercely with them. ”

"Of course, I'm strong supporters of the United States, and I hope we can win, and I hope we can further lead the way in developing and protecting our technology, and that must be. I think there has to be more investment in the economy, there has to be economic development, there has to be technology, they have a lot of very talented engineers, they have a lot of intellectual property, they have tech giants like BTC, ACC and I think it's very important that we can win and we have to win against them, and we don't want to be in second place......"

The gist of this interview video of the founder of Oracle can be summarized in one sentence after Luo Sheng reads it: How can this work? They cannot be allowed to overtake the United States.

The subtext is: suppression.

After watching this interview, Luo Sheng put his phone aside and said with a smile: "Oracle is probably in a hurry, even if the translation software and MySQL make Ellison feel the crisis, you should be vigilant when you remind him like this, this thing likes to engage in these wild operations......"

Bluestar Technology's real-time translation business exploded in the market as soon as it was launched, strictly speaking, it has collected more than $4 billion in revenue around the world in less than a quarter, which is too crazy as a new business.

Behind this is the power of big data, and of course, behind this is inseparable from the assistance of artificial intelligence.

In a sense, the instant translation business has turned Bluestar Technology into a global enterprise-level software service provider, and Oracle, as the world's largest enterprise-level software company, and Luo Sheng still has the MySQL card in his hand, so it's no wonder that Ellison is not in a hurry.

This is the same reason as Jeff Bezos who jumped out to "worry about the country and the people" for the United States, and obviously felt that the hinterland of his kingdom had been threatened by Luo Sheng, and he had not yet come up with a reliable solution to deal with this crisis.

Luo Sheng lay on his back and stared at the ceiling and complained: "My career is too difficult, I have to compete with Microsoft, Amazon, Google, IBM, Intel, and almost all the Silicon Valley technology giants by myself......"

Qin Weimu ignored him and complained: "Shut up and go to bed." ”
