Chapter 111: Live-Nation Corporation (Asking for Votes)
The holographic display application scenario in the conference room is a beta version of an enterprise-level office software suite HOS_Office developed by the technical development team led by Ye Hua, and the current technical team is developing a personal version.
This set of software is specially developed for the holographic operating system HOS (Holographic-Operation-System), a holographic operating system HOS, an office software HOS_Office, which is directly impacting Microsoft's Windows and Office two major businesses.
Although the Windows business is declining, accounting for less than 7% of Microsoft's total revenue, even if it is less than 7% of the business revenue, it is an unimaginable amount for a supergiant with a market value of more than $800 billion.
And to say that it will really deal a heavy blow to Microsoft, there is no more than the Office business, which has accounted for 26.5% of Microsoft's total annual revenue, plus 7% of the Windows business, that is, 33.5% of the revenue will be hit like never before.
Even if Microsoft will not be greatly damaged by this, it is tantamount to a goshawk breaking its wings and its right arm being abolished.
Why is the Office business so strong? That's because it is unique in the category of industrial software in the computer field, all of which involve classifications: graphic design, architectural 3D, animation production, office software, web page production, tool applications, network security, programming, video processing.
Office software is a unique one of them, Office software is a major stunt of office automation, generally speaking, in the design industry ranking, office software occupies the fifth place, can be used for word processing, table production, slide production, graphic image processing, simple database processing and other aspects of a set of work software, it can be seen that its functions are powerful.
At present, the application scope of office software is very wide, from social statistics to meeting records, such as the current meeting is a digital and intelligent meeting and office.
In addition, e-government for the government, tax system for taxation, collaborative office for enterprises, etc.
It is not unreasonable that a set of Office software is so widely used that it still accounts for more than a quarter of Microsoft's revenue.
At present, the new technology developed by the coastline company has always been kept secret from the outside world, and only the company's executives know about it.
The birth of commercial-grade holographic technology means that mankind will end the pan-screen era and enter the era of screenless display, there is no doubt that a HOS system, a HOS_Office software, this is clearly to rob Microsoft's business. It is the hegemon in the two-dimensional field, but today's coastline company is standing at the height of the three-dimensional holographic field to implement the "dimensionality reduction attack", and the Microsoft overlord who has ruled the industry so far cannot withstand this kind of powerless blow.
At this moment, Ye Hua in the conference room was clicking on the holographic floating screen in front of him, listing a lot of relevant information about Live-Nation and browsing silently.
As one of the world's premier musical entertainment giants, Live-Nation is the undisputed promoter of the world's largest concerts, producing or promoting 28,500 concerts, stage shows and motorsport events in 2005 alone, with 87 venues in North America and 52 venues in the rest of the world.
Today, Live-Nation holds more than 30,000 events every year, cooperates with more than 3,500 artists, and covers more than 50 countries and regions.
Imagine a Live-Nation concert every 20 minutes or less in the world......
Secondly, EDC, the world's largest electronic music festival, and Lollapaooza, the largest comprehensive music festival in the United States, are now under the umbrella of Live-Nation.
Among them, EDC has been described by music fans as "the electronic syllable that must be visited in a lifetime". Today, Live-Nation hosts more than 120 music festivals around the world every year.
Concert production is undoubtedly the absolute core business of Live-Nation, after the virtual concert of Shangdu, the world is shocked by the visual effects brought by holographic technology, and holographic display technology has ushered in an epic upgrade to the audio-visual feast of the scene.
This is a good thing and a bad thing for Live-Nation, the good thing is that the shock brought by technology can attract more fans to the scene and expand business growth, and the bad thing is that if Live-Nation does not have this set of hardware and competitors have, then the competitiveness of its own brand will plummet.
When Ye Hua saw these materials, he knew how much this company, Live-Nation, needed the support of holographic technology, no wonder Michael was the head of the company, and he came in person so soon.
At this time, in the conference room, all the management members were interacting with the holographic display, and they were all very proficient in using the holographic display.
After a while, Ye Hua grabbed the display data of the major floating panels in front of him and threw them into the trash, opened the search engine box, entered a string of keywords, and entered the NASDAQ, and after a while under his operation, the holographic display panel listed the stock information of Live-Nation.
By the close of trading on Friday, Live-Nation's stock price had topped $60, with a total market capitalization of $11.96 billion.
With a market capitalization of $10 billion, it is enough to assume the title of a large company, especially in the industry, Live-Nation is undoubtedly a giant in the industry, but anyone who can do a top line of companies is an authority in the industry, and can cover the sky with one hand on an acre and three points of land.
It's just that out of its own business scope, it is compared with the size of Live-Nation and the technology giants......
Microsoft Corp. sneezed yesterday and wiped out three Live-Nation in market value.
In the world of music entertainment performances, Live-Nation can call the wind and rain, but out of this acre and three points of land, there are not too many giants who can press it to the ground and rub it casually, let alone compare with the tech giants.
Today, the top 10 giants in the world by market capitalization are almost all technology companies, with a market capitalization of $4000+ billion.
Shoreline is not publicly listed, but its valuation is a super-unicorn-level tech company, measured in billions of dollars, in the triple digits.
If it is said that in the time before the concert, the global technology tycoons should pay attention to the issue of Coastline Company and Ye Hua, and will not ignore this new force.
And now, with the successful conclusion of the virtual concert, those global technology tycoons once again look at the coastline company Ye Hua, and their attitude has undergone a huge change: if they have the opportunity to deal with each other in the future, they have to be polite and equal.
Without him, because the "surprise" of the coastline company to the outside world is really a bit too big, and it is very fast, no one expected that the technology research and development capabilities of this emerging technology company are so strong, and the technology has ushered in such a big upgrade in less than a year.
For a technology company, the frequency of technology upgrades is fast, which is a strong embodiment of core competitiveness.
