Chapter 180 [Old Mika neck? 】
Bluestar Technology Group reached a strategic cooperation with ibm, and Luo Sheng personally came out to weave a brand new concept term "cloud computing" and supported this field.
His popularity and influence in the industry are now large-scale influences, both in China and Silicon Valley. Even if it is not important, as an industry insider, if companies like Google ignore his views, they will definitely make extremely unwise and low-level mistakes.
In fact, none of these giants will make such low-level mistakes.
Except Yahoo.
With the end of Pengcheng's IT forum exchange conference, Mr. Ma asked an internal business unit of Ali to focus on cloud computing-related topics. With Ali's current financial resources and scale, Ali had merged Yahoo's business in Greater China into its last year, which was equivalent to receiving $1 billion in Yahoo's financing.
Obviously, Ah Li can definitely enter the field of cloud computing, but she can't play as big as Luo Sheng.
Tengxun and Baidu did not attach importance to cloud computing services. It is right to agree with this concept, but they are not optimistic about the blueprint that Luo Sheng originally painted now and in the foreseeable future.
Therefore, these two companies have no plans to enter the cloud computing field, and at least they have no plans now, including in the next five years.
They were also happy to see what was going on in Luo Sheng first.
In the international field, Jeff Bezos, who is in charge of Amazon, has become more determined and is lobbying vigorously to raise funds in the market to invest more funds in the field of cloud computing services.
Google later announced its joining and invested $500 million to try the waters.
Microsoft also announced its entry into the cloud computing service field, and it also left $300 million to find a way out.
It can be said that so far, only Luo Sheng and Jeff Bezos have been firmly committed, because as an e-commerce company, Amazon has a large amount of e-commerce data that is very useful. Jeff sees the value of one of the entire industrial chains, and cloud computing services are the key.

After May, the industry media frequently reported on cloud computing. Some industry insiders jokingly said that Luo Sheng might become a "martyr" if he did it well. The giants following him were smart. Luo Sheng was exploring the way forward like a fool.
Luo Sheng didn't care about some short-sighted remarks. They seemed to have forgotten that the pioneers who could truly achieve great success in this world were either fools or the ones who followed the fool were crazy.
After seeing the actions of Google and Microsoft in the field of cloud computing services, Luo Sheng was inexplicably relieved. If these companies also invested heavily, Luo Sheng would still be under some pressure.
After all, whether it is Google or Microsoft, their current size and financial strength are actually stronger than the current Blue Star Technology, and they are local technology companies in North America, which is an advantage that Luo Sheng does not have. He is a complete outsider in North America.
However, cloud computing has made ibm the first party to make profits, and even the ibm company involved himself did not expect it.
There is no doubt that since the new century, Luo Sheng has set off the first craze for cloud computing services, which has given ibm a huge opportunity.
ibm has been hit by the cloud computing trend, and its market value has soared and exceeded US$140 billion, which is now second only to Microsoft.
The strategic cooperation with Bluestar Technology played a key role. After May, as major giants invested in the cloud computing field, big or small, hardware companies such as ibm and Intel were no longer calm.
After tasting the sweetness of ibm, its head Samuel Parmesano is now "unwavering" to publicly support cloud computing and promote it.
It can be said that ibm is currently the biggest beneficiary and has reached important cooperation with two major players in the field of cloud computing services, namely Bluestar Technology Group and Amazon.

Mid May.
Bluestar Technology Group Headquarters, Luo Sheng’s office.
"Mr. Luo, there is a little trouble in North America." Zhang Bowen came to his office and came to report to Luo Sheng as soon as possible after receiving the news.
"What's the trouble?" Luo Sheng asked.
"The North American authorities stung us on the grounds of data security, and refused to allow the four data centers we want to build in North America to enter the market, and refused on the grounds of data security." Zhang Bowen explained.
Hearing this news, Luo Sheng was stunned for a while, but he came to his senses, but there was no big psychological fluctuation, which was actually not surprising at all.
When the Americans first introduced Bluestar Technology to the North American market, they never expected that they would grow to this point at such a fast pace. Many of its websites, bluespae, reddit, miroblog, etc., had monopolized North American social networks. More than one-third of netizens in the United States are inseparable from these Internet social products.
Zhang Bowen couldn't help but admire: "Mr. Luo is far-sighted, split and reorganize in advance, divest the main business segments and divide them into two parts, and divide them into domestic and international versions."
If Americans knew that there would be this situation today, they would not have allowed Bluestar Technology to enter the North American market so easily. It would be too difficult to drive Bluestar Technology out now.
The Americans cannot be unscrupulous.
Since the Bluespae social networking website had exceeded 100 million users in North America, it had been targeted by the North American authorities. At that time, we began to find ways to kill Bluestar Technology, including non-economic means.
But Luo Sheng had already had this awareness early on, so he split the company and reorganized the business segments, and at the same time he established a super luxurious legal team. At the same time, the parent company's top-down supervisory board has been established. This complete systematic layout ensures that he does not make mistakes and gives the other party a chance.
The Americans are now worried that Blue Star Technology will make mistakes. Even a small mistake will be amplified and become an excuse for sanctions.
Even fishing in secret.
It is certainly not enough to just not committing trouble. Therefore, Luo Sheng actively introduced Wall Street capital and looked at the current equity structure of Blue Star Technology Group. If you look at the current equity structure, you will find that Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, and Citi are all among them. One is more scary than the other. Blue Star Technology has their vested interests, and Blue Star Technology is getting bigger and bigger now, and their interests are getting bigger and bigger.
Wall Street cares only one thing... that is profit, and everything else can give way to it, and those who block its way will be smashed without hesitation, open, secret, asking, borrowing or stealing, and using everything.
As long as Bluestar Technology Group does not make any statement in the North American market and makes full use of local rules, it will be difficult to be kicked out of this market now.
Zhang Bowen said again: "Another thing is very funny. This news was revealed yesterday. Mr. Luo, guess what? The company's stock rose by 2% dare you believe it?"
Hearing this, Luo Sheng was stunned for a while, and he couldn't help laughing when he reacted, saying, "It seems that the market and investors are still stubborn and unfavorable to our move in the cloud computing field."
Otherwise, how could the company's stocks rise by 2% abnormally because of this news?
Because North American authorities do not approve it, there are four large data centers that cannot be built on you, which means that one-third of the cost of investment in the cloud computing field is saved, so of course the stock will rise.
Zhang Bowen added: "When it comes to stocks, ibm's stock fell 3.57%, directly evaporating $5 billion."
Luo Sheng said calmly: "Don't worry about this matter. I guess ibm is more anxious than us. They are the first beneficiaries now. ibm will never pay us a penalty for this matter and hand over the cloud computing business to Intel or Dell. Whoever cares about the interests of the interests is."
This time, Bluestar Technology signed a ten-year strategic cooperation agreement with ibm, which is a huge profit for ibm. The total value of this strategic contract is US$40 billion, and ibm has no reason to refuse.
If Blue Star Technology defaults, it will pay a sky-high liquidated damages of US$3 billion in vain, while ibm defaults will pay Blue Star Technology $1 billion, although it is one-third less, but it is also an astronomical figure.
For ibm, liquidated damages are not the key, the key is a strategic contract worth a total of US$40 billion.
The dispute here is even more complicated. What has been confirmed by ibm's equity structure is that its largest shareholder is the stock god Barfite, and other Wall Street investment banks, including Goldman Sachs and Morgan, have complex interests.
