Chapter 648 [Google's Hidden Worries and Sense of Urgency]
Entering the new year, the IPv6 protocol led by the codename "Snowman Project", that is, Internet Protocol version 6, has completed the testing stage, and the official application has also entered the countdown.
Bluestar Technology and the products of the Cote d'Azur must be in the lead, the person in charge of the "Snowman Project" is Luo Sheng, and these two major technology groups were founded by him, so it is natural to support IPv6 networks, and it is also an example, which is reflected in the fact that others can put aside their scruples and follow up.
However, this matter did not gain much attention in the media, and now people's vision is attracted by the annual report of the Cote d'Azur and the king of understanding, especially the king of understanding, it is simply a "hot strange" rhythm, it can only be said that Luo Sheng has met a real opponent Ah Youmu You, since the king was launched, the headlines have his topic every day.
The land of North America is also because of the wailing of the king, feeling that his future is dark, and he doesn't know how to spend the next four years.
……
With the passage of time, the annual reports of major companies have also been released one after another, and after the release of the annual reports of the Cote d'Azur, the fourth and annual audited financial reports of Bluestar Technology and Azure Pure Electric Vehicle Company, which are listed companies, have also been released.
According to the 2016 financial report data of Bluestar Technology Group, the annual revenue was 214.08 billion US dollars, an increase of 27.35% compared with the previous year, and the revenue hit a record high, with an annual net profit of 187.25 and a net profit margin of 8.75%, which was in line with the expectations of Wall Street analysts.
Zhang Bowen also announced the users of its products in the annual report global investor call.
At the end of 2016, Bluestar Technology Group's No. 1 social product [BlueSpace] had 2.29 billion global users, and today, its growth rate is still in double digits, and getting users is almost a matter of easy reach for Bluestar Technology.
Luo Sheng said back then that the future of Bluestar Technology will be as huge as the Internet itself, and now at this scale, no one dares to question the big words he made ten years ago, because the facts are here.
If BlueSpace were a country, it would be the most populous country in the world, and the country's population will continue to grow at double-digit rates, with 2.7 billion users predicted by around 2020, according to eMarketer.
In 2016, 189.2 million people landed on BlueSpace every month, while more than half of the population in the UK visited BlueSpace every month (33.2 million people).
The call also mentioned that in 2016, about 2.8 billion people in the world regularly visited social networks, accounting for 38.29% of the world's population and 68.3% of the world's Internet users, and this proportion is further rising.
In 2016, the international version of BlueSpace is undoubtedly the world's largest social networking site.
As of the end of 2016, the top 10 social products in the world are:
TOP1: BlueSpace has 1.59 billion users
TOP2: The number of WhatAPP users is 1 billion
TOP3: BlueSpaceMessenger has 900 million users
TOP4: The number of QQ users is 853 million
TOP6: The number of users of Blue Space (domestic version) is 700 million
TOP7: 100 million
TOP8: QQ Space 640 million
TOP9: Tumblr (Tonbole) has 555 million users
TOP10: The number of MicroBlog users is 412 million
The world's top ten social service products, from the perspective of their origins, nine are from China, and only one microblog Tumblr (Tang Bole) is from North America, no wonder Lao Mei wants to do everything possible to suppress Bluestar Technology Group.
From the perspective of affiliated companies, Bluestar Technology Group accounts for six, and occupies the top three, is worthy of the name of the world's first social hegemon, its position is as stable as Mount Tai, almost difficult to shake.
It is these exaggerated figures that support Bluestar Technology's operating income of up to 214 billion US dollars in 2016, surpassing the revenue of Berkshire Hathaway (210.8 billion US dollars) of the stock god Buffett, and becoming the 11th place in the world's top 500 companies in 2016.
According to this trend, next year it will be able to overturn BP ($225.9 billion) and enter the top 10 of the world's top 500 companies.
The Blue pure electric vehicle company, which has entered the second year of listing, has an annual revenue of 529.2 billion yuan (about 76.47 billion US dollars) in 2016, which is negative compared with the previous year, with a growth rate of -47.39% and a profit margin that is also negative.
Nearly half of last year's revenue was an unexpected income, and this year there are no scalpers to send money, and its receivables are reasonable data, and it is normal for the revenue of Azure pure electric vehicle companies to plummet, and its performance statement is also in line with Wall Street analysts' expectations.
Profit margins are also negative, with 10 gigafactories and superchargers and other infrastructure laid out over a large area, all of which are huge sunk cost inputs.
The 167 billion yuan subsidy that the state gave to the blue pure electric vehicle company was also in place at the beginning of this year.
Despite negative growth rates and profit margins, and a static price-to-earnings ratio of 283 times, the company's share price has not been affected in the slightest, but has risen steadily, and investors who buy shares are convinced that this is a real value investment, and the current losses are all about accumulating strength for future explosions.
This is completely different from the same loss-making Leth company, because the sales of blue pure electric cars are rising, and there are more and more blue pure electric cars on the road, which may have been very fresh last year, and now everyone has become commonplace.
At present, the total market value of Azure pure electric vehicle companies is as high as 9.6534 trillion yuan (about 1.395 trillion US dollars), while the total market value of Bluestar Technology Group is as high as 1.602 trillion US dollars (about 12.41 trillion Hong Kong dollars).
The former is currently the largest market value of Big A and the second largest in the world, and the market value has doubled in just two years, and the latter is currently the first in the market value of the US stock market or the Hong Kong stock market and the first in the world.
The Blue EV Company, also one of the world's top 500 companies, has slipped sharply this year and is now ahead of SoftBank Group ($76.46 billion) at No. 92.
As an entrepreneur, the biggest dream is undoubtedly to be able to single-handedly create a Fortune 500 company, and Luo Sheng alone in less than 15 years to create three, and the gold content is better than one, even in the world's top 500 is also in the forefront, in the near future these three companies are expected to enter the ranks of the TOP10, which can be described as an unprecedented feat in the global business community.
As far as the eye can see, no one can match.
What's even more exaggerated is that people have not forgotten that he also has a very potential space exploration company Star Arrow International in his hands, and the PureLiFi company controlled by the Cote d'Azur is also a technology giant with a volume of 200 billion US dollars, and Hyland Haas wants his company to rush to the New York Stock Exchange to be listed, Luo Sheng agreed to him, but it is still early to IPO.
Such an achievement has made all the business tycoons in the world feel ashamed, and Luo Sheng is only 32 years old this year, which is the most terrifying place, a man in his early thirties is in the golden stage of his life, which means that his current career achievements are far from his ceiling.
Others will not be able to reach one-thousandth of his current achievements in a lifetime, and his career is still in a period of rapid growth, and he can't see the ceiling, and his scalp is numb to think about it.

January 22, North America, Alphabet Group (formerly Google) corporate headquarters.
Entering the new year, all parties are preparing for the next year, and at this moment, the Alphabet Group is undergoing a routine core management meeting, Alphabet Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt, Google current CEO Sundar Pichai, founder Larry Page, Sergey Brin and other bigwigs are all gathered.
"It's 2017 now, does desktop still matter? The answer is: yes, and it can't be more important. ”
The speaker was Pichai, CEO of Google, who was present at the meeting, and he looked at the bigwigs with a solemn face and said: "As long as you use a computer to surf the Internet, you can't avoid using desktop browsers, and in fact, desktop browsers are indispensable, and they are so important that they are often ignored like air." ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't want to be alarmist, but this is an imminent thing in front of us, that is, Google is quietly hiding a huge crisis, Bluestar Technology's Afarid (Alphad) browser has become a growing threat to Google, Luo Sheng is spying on the hinterland of Alphabet's kingdom, in today's entire desktop browser field, it has basically become the world of AOSAfarid browser."
The executive from Indu unabashedly revealed an extremely strong sense of concern, and the other executives did not speak, especially Eric Schmidt.
After a while, Pichai immediately put out the PPT he had prepared on the main screen dedicated to the meeting.
"This is a detailed history of the development of the Afarid browser over the past decade, which officially began public beta in December 2006 and was developed and downloaded in more than 100 countries and regions around the world. At the same time, IE8Beta2 was released three months ago, and Firefox 3.0 had been released for half a year and won the Guinness World Record, at that time IE's market share was still as high as more than 80%, in a dominant position. ”
Paige, who was in attendance, held his hand on his chin, glanced out with his little thumb, and accosted: "2006? ”
When Pichai saw his expression with a question mark on his face, he felt very speechless in his heart, and he cried bitterly in his heart, and said secretly: Peppa, are you a pig? You suggested that Google develop Chrome at the beginning, and as the proposer of this project, you forgot? Google doesn't care about its company so much after the spin-off and reorganization?
In fact, Larry Page really doesn't care much about these things, Google is in charge of Pichai, and the executive chairman of the parent company Alphabet is Eric Schmidt.
And he himself has recently been obsessed with Google X Labs and bought Boston Dynamics, and the company is basically handed over to professional managers in the field of cutting-edge technology such as intelligent robots and unmanned driving.
Regardless of that, Page went on vacation to his own private island, and the company's operations were in the third place in his mind.
Pichai put away his thoughts, nodded and said: "Yes, that's right, you should have guessed, 2006 is not only the era of the listing of Bluestar Technology, but also the era of the birth of Azure smartphones, Luo Sheng in the witness of the world, he used his index finger to unlock the straight screen, that stroke, but also for mankind to open the door to the mobile Internet, and Bluestar Technology's Afarid browser is the most fortunate, it met the tide of the mobile Internet, and was the first to devote itself to it. ”
"Afarid became the browser that comes with Azure smartphones, the market share in 2006 was only 1.9%, but the rapid development of Afarid browser in the past ten years has been ignored like air, ten years, once one of IE dragon slayer warriors, and now is about to replace IE as the new evil dragon, do you know what the current market share of Afarid browser is?"
Page subconsciously asked, "How much?" ”
