Chapter 535 [The Richest Business and the Richest Country Fight for Financial Resources?] 】
It seems that at the end of every year, Lao Mei always likes to make a little trouble for you, last year, and this year.
It's terrible that I don't play well every time.
This time, not only did not reap any substantial benefits, but also lost a lot of face.
In fact, no one thought that Luo Sheng would be so arrogant, according to the prediction of the North American authorities, the other party was determined to cut the meat and beg for mercy after this wave of blows, but the other party did not play cards according to the routine.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the North American authorities are now intent on assassinating Luo Sheng, but there is no way, Luo Sheng has been staying in China and not going abroad, and the CIA has nothing to do.
Some transnational conferences can be solved directly through video conferences, and they are not afraid of being monitored, whether it is Bluestar Technology or the security system of the Cote d'Azur, they can ensure the security of the communication channel.
In fact, they also know that both the Cote d'Azur and Bluestar Technology have the so-called "key person risk", that is, Luo Sheng, as long as he has a little accident or something, the two companies will definitely have problems.
……
At the end of 2013, the North American stock market soared, with technology stocks leading the market, and technology companies such as Amazon, SAFTSE, Intel, Apple, and Google all soaring.
The good news is that North America announced a stimulus package for the Internet and ICT sector with a budget of more than $1 trillion, which will subsidize local technology companies in the United States, especially Internet companies, with the goal of improving the global competitiveness of local technology companies, especially Internet companies.
To put it bluntly, it is a big subsidy.
This news caused a huge repercussion in the international community, and it soon spread to China, and the media in the mainland were also competing to report it.
The media and industry professionals have surprisingly unanimously agreed that the reason for the $1 trillion super-large-scale support plan in North America is Luo Sheng.
It is said to improve the global competitiveness of local Internet companies in North America, but in fact, it wants to make Internet companies in the United States, including ordinary Internet users, rely on Bluestar Technology as soon as possible.
The most subsidized sector is enterprise-grade cloud services, which exceed $645 billion.
Several major cloud service companies in North America, IBM, Google, Amazon and Microsoft, have almost nothing to fight in the face of Bluestar Technology's Nebula Star-Cloud solution.
Especially last year, Bluestar Technology announced a reduction in corporate profits, and the enterprise-level cloud computing service solution directly reduced the cost of customers by 30%, which directly broke the original price balance, and the entire industry forcibly entered a situation of reshuffling, which made Google, Amazon and other companies that were already not competitive in technology feel huge pressure.
Although it ate up the market share vacated by Bluestar Technology in North America, in the overseas international market, in the face of the dual competitive advantages of Nebula's Star-Cloud solution in cost and technology, it fell without repayment.
In the long run, North American cloud service companies will be trapped in the North American market, and from a larger perspective, the rise of overseas enterprises will make North American enterprises as a whole gradually lose their international competitiveness due to high costs.
It was precisely because she saw this that Lao Mei was anxious, and she had such a recent moth thing, planning to play a big hooliganism, but she never expected to meet an arrogant master.
……
January 2014.
Today is January 3rd, and Bluestar Technology and Cote d'Azur are having a fiery annual meeting carnival interaction, as if the thrilling crisis did not happen at all a month ago.
Luo Sheng did not attend the annual meeting, and at the moment he was staying in a room with Lao Zhang.
“…… The huge amount of $645 billion from the United States has been smashed, and our competitors have room to reduce costs, so that at least the balance of the year before last can be maintained. Zhang Bowen was talking about the $1 trillion tech stimulus package announced in North America a few days ago.
"See the move, pay attention to the real-time dynamic news of the competitor, the other party has reduced the cost, we will follow the drop, and then reduce it by 5%, we can adopt the onion peeling tactic, every time the dish is served according to the situation, each time it is reduced by about 5%, and the maximum can be reduced to 60% No problem." Luo Sheng said very decisively.
Hearing Luo Sheng's decision, Zhang Bowen hesitated and said: "What if there is a follow-up subsidy plan in North America?" It's not easy for us to make money, but Lao Mei can print money indefinitely. ”
This world is a world of dollar hegemony, and the United States relies on its status as the world hegemon to collect seigniorage in the world by printing dollars, printing a 100-face dollar bill, the cost is only 0.1 US dollars, and the remaining 99.9 US dollars is profit.
Anyway, the whole world pays the bill, and you can print money unscrupulously, 1 trillion dollars is not enough, then 2 trillion dollars.
But the profits of Bluestar Technology have to pay a lot of labor costs to earn back, even at the peak, the net profit of 72 billion US dollars, but compared with the 1 trillion or even more huge figures, it is still a small thing.
"If you take my company and the world boss today, and the country that holds financial hegemony to burn money, it will definitely be dead and dead." Luo Sheng said, and immediately added after a moment: "However, there is no conflict between a different perspective, I can only complicate my own affairs, but Lao Mei wants to support technology companies in the United States, everyone wants subsidies, and the financial pressure on Lao Mei is also very great." ”
Speaking of this, Luo Sheng looked at Lao Zhang: "And do you really think that those companies that get subsidies will really engage in R&D honestly, especially Wall Street, I even seriously doubt that this $1 trillion stimulus plan is the result of Wall Street lobbying, how much will flow into the stock market or two words, the recent rise in US stocks is very strong." ”
It is better to blow bubbles than to burn money, and those capitalists on Wall Street care about profits.
The year before last, there was just a wave with Bluestar Technology, and Wall Street also lost a lot of money, maybe it was like replenishing blood or something, and Luo Sheng would not be too surprised if there were some divine operations.
"Mr. Luo, can you not play so big and so careless every time, frankly speaking, I am under a lot of pressure." Lao Zhang said with a wry smile, as if he had been wronged between the lines.
However, Lao Zhang is indeed under a lot of pressure, and the helmsman is often the shopkeeper, he is almost the de facto leader, and he is just short of an official CEO title.
However, Luo Sheng played roller coaster every time, more and more exciting every time, and Lao Zhang was afraid that something would go wrong and cause a blood collapse.
"Hey, don't say that, I plan to hand over the company to you in a few years." Luo Sheng said with a smile.
"What?" Zhang Bowen stared at Luo Sheng's round eyes with both eyes, and shook his head again and again for a moment: "Don't don't, don't, don't, kill me and don't take this pit, I want to live a few more years, I didn't expect the company to develop such a terrifying scale today when I joined Bluestar Technology." ”
Luo Sheng: "Do you think the salary is less or the stock is less?" You are given ten times your salary plus 1% option. ”
Zhang Bowen took out his mobile phone and looked at it: "Yo, my wife sent a message, and my wife is strict, so I'll withdraw first." ”
Luo Sheng: "You want to be a deserter?" Ay......? ”
Lao Zhang pretended not to hear anything, and chose to flash people very decisively.
This reason could not be more perfunctory.
Watching Zhang Bowen disappear at the gate, Luo Sheng suddenly felt that it was difficult, he felt that he was almost okay after cultivating him for so many years, but he wanted to be a deserter, which was a bit difficult.
Lao Zhang entered the back seat of his special car, breathed a long sigh of relief, and muttered to himself: "Thinking about retirement before the age of 30? Also deserters......"
……
In the following days, Luo Sheng would lobby Zhang Bowen whenever he had the opportunity, but the other party would not agree to anything.
It can be seen that he really doesn't want to take on this errand, this is not a matter of money or not money at all, Lao Zhang currently holds 0.98% of the equity of Bluestar Technology, and he is also a super-rich man worth tens of billions of dollars.
It's that this errand is really not easy.
However, Luo Sheng was not discouraged, he had been cultivating for almost five years, and it was impossible for him to run away.
These are still trivial matters for the time being, and I am not in a hurry, after all, this kind of thing requires a process.
In mid-January 2014, North America's $1 trillion technology industry stimulus plan began to make large-scale allocations, just after the United States carried out large-scale coin casting, Bluestar Technology announced that it would further reduce the corporate profits of the group company, including cloud computing service solutions for customers to reduce fees to 35%.
A price start, the whole industry is dumbfounded again.
Bluestar Technology once again made a decision that everyone dreamed of, and there is nothing wrong with burning money, and even many people feel that Bluestar Technology is the most powerful and least afraid of burning money.
Because there are few companies in the world that are richer than Bluestar Technology and the Cote d'Azur.
But this is only relative to business-to-business, and this time it is business-to-country, and it is the ability to burn money against a superpower that controls the world's financial hegemony?
I'm afraid you're not stupid, right?
You Bluestar Technology is very rich, but in a sense, the money in North America is unlimited, you still have to make a lot of money, and people just print US dollars.
However, industry insiders are also relieved, anyway, in the past ten years, except for afterthought, they have not seen through any of Luo Sheng's major decisions.
What the outside world is most excited about now is what will happen as a result.
Luo Sheng never fought unprepared battles, and after making this decision, he had already set out to let Qin Weimu prepare.
Preparing to let Bluestar Technology find itself to take a huge loan, of course, is not a direct loan, but requires some disguise and financial operation methods, including a large number of leather bag companies will also be used.
The family fund has accumulated assets of 1 trillion US dollars, and cash assets have exceeded 500 billion US dollars.
