April 28.

Bluestar Group Headquarters.

"Mr. Luo, Jack Stopurman reported a message to the parent company. Our North American competitor Myspae is negotiating with Google. It is rumored that it is conducting a search-based cooperation to make full use of its growing users and influence. Myspae's users have reached 23 million, with a North American market share of about 12%, while our company's bluespae's market share is more than 85%.

Zhang Bowen, the chief operating officer of the group company, came to Luo Sheng's office to report on the matter.

Currently, the international version of Bluespae is fully in charge of Jack Stopurman, and the parent company has basically not interfered too much. However, Bluestar Technology Group arranged people that it absolutely trusts, and people sent directly by the parent company.

In overseas regions, the power of the Supervisory Board in the company is not like the decorations in the mainland, but it really has great power.

Luo Sheng’s subsidiary in overseas business segments, CEO is hired for foreign executives, with the purpose of being more in line with the local market, but he does not absolutely trust these foreigners.

For example, if Jack Stuperman has a problem, or if necessary, he will be fired immediately, and within 24 hours a day, a CEO will be airborne from his parent company to take over Bluespae's business.

Luo Sheng has invested a lot in this regard, and the management's "spare tire" is also stepping up preparations, and even if it increases operating costs, it is still possible to do so.

There is no way.

That's in the United States.

Luo Sheng has not forgotten how Americans killed French Alstom through senior executives. He also read the book "American Trap" in his previous life, a book about how North American authorities used non-economic means to dismantle business giants in other countries.

So, once the Supervisory Board finds that Jack Stuperman has not implemented the will of the parent company, there is a place to go, once reminder, second warning, third directly fired and airborne a CEO to take over.

The same is true for executives in other departments of the company.

Luo Sheng does not expect the head of the subsidiary to have a pioneering spirit, especially the subsidiary CEO, which is in charge of overseas business segments. If you really have this ability, you can go to the core level of the parent company.

The head of the subsidiary he wants can perfectly implement the parent company's strategic will, and even the wrong strategy must be implemented.

It’s either that I don’t believe these foreign senior managers...yes, it’s just that I don’t believe it.

Moreover, Luo Sheng is even more unable to trust the North American authorities. Sharing interests with Wall Street is a great advantage, but it is not absolute. Therefore, from an absolute rational point of view, Luo Sheng cannot have absolute trust in the senior managers hired outside.

They may not have thought about cheating the company, but what if the North American authorities who try to crack down on the company will put a trap on them, the result will be the same.

Therefore, resource investment here must be absolutely indispensable, which is a major strategy for the group company to prevent any failure.

Zhang Bowen continued: "Jack suggested to the parent company whether we should go up and talk to News Group about the acquisition of myspae company, in order to prevent the potential threat posed by Google to Bluespae?"

"Acquiring myspae?" Luo Sheng immediately rejected Jack Stopperman's suggestion without hesitation, and immediately added: "Now, bluespae's user base has exceeded 100 million in North America, not to mention globally. The user ecosystem has been formed, and this first-mover advantage in the field of social networking websites has been formed. Once formed, as long as we don't make a mistake, myspae will basically not be able to make a comeback."

Zhang Bowen said: "With that being said, I always feel unhappy if Google lets fire in our backyard."

Luo Sheng smiled and said, "Click it, we definitely cannot acquire myspae. This move is not worth the effort. Once we incorporate myspae into our company, it may cause an almost absolute natural monopoly situation, which will cause us huge trouble. Europeans and Americans will definitely take this opportunity to swing the split stick. Keep it and raise pigs scientifically."

Zhang Bowen: "Uh..."

Scientific pig farming?

This made Zhang Bowen feel quite funny when he heard this, but when he thought about it carefully, it was really that way.

Myspae cannot pose a huge threat. Its greatest value is to avoid the trouble of antitrust investigations for Bluestar Technology.

Intel has done a good job in this regard. It can easily kill amd, but it always leaves some space for amd. It can't starve to death but it can't make a fortune.

According to foreign media reports, myspae was bought by News Corporation in the early years and became its social networking website. It is seeking search engine partners to provide search services and advertising services for it.

Obviously, when Google ran over this time, Yahoo was obviously excluded.

Yahoo, a once extremely brilliant company, is hard to describe now.

Google's alliance with myspae this time is a replica of Google and Microsoft's competition for AOL last year. After agreeing to invest $1 billion in AOL, Google defeated Microsoft.

As for myspae, I'm afraid it will receive strong support from North American authorities and strive to surpass Bluestar Technology. Anyone can acquire this company, but Bluestar Technology cannot acquire it, and North America does not allow it.

If Americans knew that Luo Sheng could grow to this point today, they would never have approved Blue Star Technology to enter the North American market. Today, Americans certainly want to drive Blue Star Technology out of the North American market, and all kinds of methods are fine.

But it is not as easy as before, because the water in Blue Star Technology Group has become very deep, and Wall Street has a big advantage in it.

The key is that Luo Sheng was very alert early on, which made the North American authorities unable to find too many excuses, if there were no Wall Street's interests in it.

The North American authorities will definitely not reason with you, they will just be tough, but the interests of Wall Street are different. Even if you want to achieve your goal, you have to reason, otherwise it will cause trouble for yourself.

Zhang Bowen said: "But Google is not very smooth either. The news I got is that Microsoft also made a spoil at this time, which made Google very unhappy."

Luo Sheng nodded and smiled: "This is not a strange thing. The CEOs of Google and Microsoft have recently talked about the importance of social networking sites to the future of the Internet. Bluestar Technology has grown to its size today, and even Microsoft dare not say that it is underestimated by us."

Zhang Bowen immediately said: "From the competition between the two sides last year's AOL, it is hard to imagine that Google and Microsoft will easily hand over myspae to their opponents. Therefore, I personally think that myspae is likely to obtain most of the revenue from the search advertising business, or even obtain advance payments, or the partners promise the minimum payment amount."

Luo Sheng nodded: "It makes sense, Google, Google is the key point. I'm afraid Microsoft will lose again this time, and it's not as concerned as Google. We have put a huge pressure on Google, but we haven't formed any ties with Microsoft yet."

Zhang Bowen thought for a while, then looked at Luo Sheng and said, "We can't sit idly by. Myspae and Google colluded with each other, so they must not be peeing with Yahoo. Haha, didn't Google want to light the fire in our backyard? Then we also reciprocate and talk to Yahoo about cooperation issues."

Hearing this, Luo Shengyan said two words concisely: "Yes."

Come on, hurt each other.

Although Yahoo is getting worse and worse, it is always a king in the Internet industry. If you talk about the Internet or not, you will definitely not understand the Internet.

Even today, Yahoo's market value is still as high as $60 billion.

This matter was decided so. The purpose was not to achieve substantial results, but to remind Page that he would not care about his own backyard when playing with fire in other people's backyards, and he should also spend some energy to look back at his nest.

You can and I can play with things like fire.

But then again, Luo Sheng does not have much hope for Yahoo. Google's position in the global search engine market is basically unshakable. If you want to make a fire in Page's backyard, it will not fundamentally shake Google's foundation.

Luo Sheng ordered Zhang Bowen: "Compared with this, we should pay more attention to Google's actions in the field of cloud computing. Google's current CEO Eric Schmidt has a lot of relationship with cloud computing. He once served as chief technology officer at Sun, which first proposed that the "network is a computer". There is also Microsoft, and Amazon, and ibm should also pay attention to that these North American technology giants are very likely to become our main competitors in the field of cloud computing services in the future."
