Chapter 496 [The new year, the past and the future]

Before leaving the Science and Technology Complex, Liu Jianwei wrote a handwritten letter, naturally to recommend his old friend to teach at Harbin Institute of Technology and lead a nanorobot science team to change jobs to Xingjian International.

This kind of research that is far away from the application stage, and there is really no capital willing to invest money except for the support of national scientific research institutions. The country's funding is limited, and it is more inclined to give priority to funding in technical fields that can be quickly applied.

But Luo Sheng is undoubtedly an exception. Not only do he like to invest in these basic research fields, he is also the richest man in the world and the one who is not short of money.

Luo Sheng was also very happy to be able to know about a top nanotechnology research team and would even join Xingjiang International.

This is the invisible invisible benefit. God knows whether Liu Jianwei’s old friend will have him recommending his old friend to come over at that time?

One fact that has to be admitted is that even those who are academic are divided into circles, and even the atmosphere of the circle is stronger.

There is no need to think about the space ladder project in the short term. In the next ten to fifteen years, breakthroughs and precipitation of cutting-edge technologies may be required. To truly advance the space ladder plan to the substantial stage, there are four key technical pain points that must be solved.

The first is the breakthrough in the technology of new materials carbon fiber nanotubes, the second is also the breakthrough in the technology of new materials room temperature superconductors, and the third is the breakthrough in the technology of nanotechnology.

The fourth is the issue of aerospace transportation.

Luo Sheng chose recyclable rocket technology. A major vision for Xingjian International was established in addition to commercial space launches, building Starlink plans and unmanned autonomous driving, the space ladder will be Xingjian International's biggest mission.

As long as these four major technical pain points are solved, the space ladder will inevitably enter the actual planning stage.

As for the infrastructure such as space stations, ground base stations, and space launch ports that this ladder has, humans have long had a long-term technological accumulation. The biggest problem with these problems is the incredible amount of engineering and project budget scale.

Century Engineering is not just literally meaningful, it means huge investment in manpower and material resources.

The budget of this project is impossible to complete without a trillion yuan, but as long as it is completed, human beings will no longer be limited to the cradle of the earth. At the very least, the expansion of the range of activities to the periphery of the earth's orbit will become the norm. This is the greatest significance of the existence of the space ladder.

Such a super-large project of the century was not achieved overnight. It took more than three months to build a model figure. Future planning is important, but it is even more important to focus on the present.

Luo Sheng needs money and needs to make a lot of money.

Only by making enough money now can Xingjian International become the major shareholder of the Space Ladder project and gain control in the future. Ten or twenty years later, the Space Ladder project cannot be created by Luo Sheng alone. It must be a multinational cooperation project. There are not only one or two giant groups involved, and state capital will also participate.

Even if there is really this capital to carry out this project alone, Luo Sheng would not do this, as the risk is too great.

As soon as Liu Jianwei left, Luo Sheng collected the recommendation letter he wrote, returned to his private office and put the envelope aside. He immediately opened the list of work emails and found two emails that he had not read.

It is the 2012 financial report information of Blue Star Technology sent by Zhang Bowen and the 2012 financial report information of Blue Star Technology sent by Yao Jianhong.

Luo Sheng immediately clicked in and took a look.

In 2012, Bluestar Technology Group's annual revenue was US$115.97 billion, which was almost cut in half compared to the brilliant performance of US$203 billion in the previous year; its annual net profit was US$100 million, which was only about 28% compared to US$72 billion in the previous year.

This financial report also meets the expectations of Wall Street analysts. At the same time, because Bluestar Technology has stabilized the European market, Blackstone Group previously predicted that Bluestar Technology's annual revenue will be less than US$100 billion, but then supplemented the risk report and adjusted it to US$112.8 billion, which is very close to the real data.

Although the performance is not as good as the previous year, it is still a multinational technology giant with annual revenue of more than 100 billion US dollars. Taking last year's data as an example, companies that can reach the annual revenue of 100 billion US dollars, among the thousands of companies around the world, only a few 65 companies have done it. You should know that the number of companies around the world is measured in units of tens of thousands.

Any company with a revenue of 100 billion US dollars is either a giant or an industry overlord. If you sneeze, the entire industry will catch a cold.

Bluestar Technology's turmoil last year was the best interpretation, and countless companies were "sick".

Because last year's revenue was almost halved, Bluestar Technology fell to 40th place on the top 500 in the world, second only to France's retail giant Carrefour Group.

Although profits plummeted, when they still rank firmly in the top five in the world, they are still one of the most profitable companies in the world.

After reading the email content, Luo Sheng manually edited a piece of content and sent it to Zhang Bowen, and then clicked Yao Jianhong's email.

In the past year, the annual sales of Costa à la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la Cà la

North America did not take action at the same time, and now we are glad that we did not take action at the same time. Just attacking Blue Star Technology has caused so many troubles.

The Costa del Blue hit a net profit of US$100 million last year, up % year-on-year, and its net profit margin is a bit low compared to its high-tech, only about 11.5%.

But it can't stand the huge bottom line. The Costa delle exceeded US$20 billion in net profit for the first time last year. Even though it spent money on research and development in a crazy way, the high human resources costs and corporate operating costs are still so profitable.

From this perspective, the high-tech industry is indeed the most profitable.

It is worth mentioning that Costa del Azure did not release new products last year, and smartphones still sell azure-3, and are still a best-selling product. The continued sales of IEP tablets have further driven the sales of azure-3 phones.

In January this year, the cumulative sales of acc consoles exceeded 100 million units, and it undoubtedly became another phenomenal product for home gaming consoles.

Hardware sales are the big part of the Costa ça, but the growth rate of the software business with higher profits is also gratifying, with the aos ecosystem contributing US$16.5 billion in sales.

The game sales commission on the acc console platform is also quite gratifying. In the third quarter of last year, the platform's revenue was not only balanced with the subsidy amount paid to third parties, but eventually achieved a profit of US$170 million throughout the year.

This means that starting this year, acc hosts will begin to make full profits.

But the biggest highlight is that the company's open source smartphone system WOS.

After the Costa delta is ready for the system, it will be used for free by its competitors. Now domestic smartphone brands such as Xiao Mi, Huawei Honor, Coolpad, Apple's iPhone and other mobile phone brands all use the WOS ecosystem.

However, there is still a relatively unique and independent mobile phone business under Lianxiang chose the Android system. The other party explained that it was to do global business, so it chose the relatively suitable global Android system.

There are always unsociable people.

It is worth mentioning that there are six or seven foreign mobile phone brands that use WOS operating system, which are basically small brands that are optional, but the biggest brand is not iPhones owned by Apple.

Last year, the iPhone mobile phone shipments ranked third in the world, second only to ung (Samsung). It has to be said that Cook, who has been in charge of Apple for two years, is indeed a marketing master.

WOS open source system is free, but it has brought quite amazing advertising revenue to the Costa ça, which contributed 15 billion yuan (US$2.2 billion) in advertising revenue throughout the year last year.

The current global smartphone market pattern is that the Azure brand under Costa del Sur is at the top of the food chain and is in the first echelon.

The second echelon is a situation where two major camps confront each other. The WOS camp, which is mainly domestic brands, is the most representative brand. Although it is an American company, Apple was decisively pinched by Luo Sheng when it was facing a crisis, which also killed the birth of iOS.

WOS's competitor is in the Android camp, and the most representative brand is Samsung mobile phones, and HTC has been overtaken.

The second echelon is a competition between the two major open source systems.

The third echelon is "other", such as Microsoft's mobile phone business, Sony's mobile phone business, and traditional old-fashioned manufacturers such as Nokia. It's better not to mention these, but in the wave of mobile Internet, they even struggle to follow.

After reading the email content, Luo Sheng also replied to Yao Jianhong.

It's the Spring Festival now, but most executives of the two companies don't have time to go home for the New Year.

Executives of Bluestar Technology worked overtime collectively. Last year's crisis was over, but a lot of problems left behind must be properly handled, otherwise it will affect the operation plan for the new year.

The next day, Bluestar Technology Group publicly disclosed its 2012 financial report information. This annual report, which meets the expectations of Wall Street analysts, was disclosed, and it still drove the market.

After financing last year, Bluestar Technology's total share capital reached 1.95 billion shares. The after-hours-day stock price per share and net income per share was US$100 million. The company's total market value has stabilized by US$700 billion.

As February of the new year began, the market finally stabilized. With Bafite's rare heavy holdings in BTC stocks, small and medium-sized investors, fund companies, and even retail investors have also dispelled their doubts.

Replenish the position and build it!

Well, what happened before, let's not blame it.

It is important to grasp the present and carry forward the past and open up the future.
