——
On January 18, Bluestar Technology Headquarters.
Zhang Bowen entered Luo Sheng's office and reported to him: "Mr. Luo, there are also related reports from North America, foreign power sources, and Amazon's founder Jeff Bezos suddenly attacked us."
Hearing this, Luo Sheng was stunned for a while, looking at Zhang Bowen and said in confusion: "Amazon?"
Zhang Bowen nodded and said: "On the morning of January 17, North American time, according to the report of "The New Yorker", Jeff Bezos publicly questioned the data collection behavior of Bluestar Technology Group in the media, and doubted whether it should cooperate with the content review rules of China and restrict North American users to view, etc. He also publicly expressed his hope that North American intelligence departments would investigate whether overseas related application products under Bluestar Technology Group pose a so-called 'national security risk'."
"In addition, Jeff Bezos also commented that the number of users of Bluespace social networking sites, which only internationally-based versions of Bluespace, has exceeded 133 million in North America, accounting for 66.5% of the entire American Internet users. This is a potential counterintelligence threat that cannot be ignored. Based on these concerns, it is hoped that intelligence agencies will evaluate the national security risks posed by Bluespace and other content platforms operated by Bluespace in North America and inform Congress of the results."
So direct?
This is what Luo Sheng hates the most, although he had long expected that such a thing would be faced by Blue Star Technology Group, sooner or later, but he didn't expect that it would be so soon, and he didn't expect that the first one would jump out was Amazon.
"What surprised me was that it was the bald Bezos who jumped out. I thought it would be Google."
Zhang Bowen saw Luo Sheng’s news quite relaxed, but he attached great importance to this issue and said worriedly: “Mr. Luo, it will be very troublesome if this kind of problem is exposed to it.”
In the eyes of the second-person of the company, Bluestar Technology Group is now facing any competitor who can deal with it calmly and be confident in defeating its opponents. However, it will be different if it is facing North American authorities' suppression. You should know that so far 80% of the company's revenue comes from global markets except Greater China, and the North American market is the largest source of revenue, followed by Europe.
Luo Sheng nodded and said in a deep voice: "You are right. You must respond in a timely manner. First, respond as soon as possible. Second, the Supervisory Board of the Group Company should further tighten and keep an eye on the senior management of the subsidiaries in charge of overseas business. External pressure is secondary. The real focus is on guard against internal executives who should cooperate with the outside world or be enforced by fishing. Once discovered and verified, the Supervisory Board should not hesitate and directly initiate the removal procedure and then airborne the senior executives."
The Supervisory Board has the right to hold an extraordinary shareholders' meeting without convening a shareholders' meeting. Moreover, in Europe and the United States, the Supervisory Board has greater power in a company than in the mainland. Because of this, Luo Sheng would be assured to hand over the overseas business segment to foreign executives he does not fully trust, but the Supervisory Board is absolutely his own person.
As long as you don’t make things wrong, it will be difficult for the United States to drive Blue Star Technology out of the North American market. On the one hand, the US imperialists are not now anti-globalization like they did later. Now Americans are enjoying the huge dividend period brought by globalization, and they are 100% supported. Secondly, a company as large as Blue Star Technology Group, moving this company means moving the vested interests of many capital tycoons on Wall Street.
Although Luo Sheng and his friends on Wall Street are not as "iron" as brothers, they are just tied together because of interests, but then again, sometimes the bondage of interests is even more iron than that of brothers.
After explaining a few words, Zhang Bowen left the office to deal with the matter.
As for Bezos' sudden attack, it seems that Blue Star Technology and Amazon have no grudges in the past, but Luo Sheng quickly understood after thinking about it.
The reason is cloud computing services!
Obviously, Amazon was anxious. Luo Sheng had a budget of US$5.6 billion in the field of cloud computing services in one go. Although Amazon was the first company to launch elastic computing cloud services, Bluestar Technology only followed up after just a few months.
Not only that, the investment scale is even fifteen times that of Amazon.
You should know that the current market value of Blue Star Technology is already rushing to US$150 billion, while Amazon's current market value is only US$15.7 billion. Based on its market value, its size is nearly ten times that of Amazon.
Luo Sheng has invested $5.6 billion to enter the cloud computing service field, and the company's current cash flow is still $12.8 billion, which Amazon can't do.
The super-large-scale cloud computing service is destined to be a project with large investment. Amazon is not the Amazon that once exceeded one trillion US dollars in its previous life. Amazon is now a real brother in front of Blue Star Technology.
Jeff Bezos wanted to stop Luo Sheng from expanding wildly, but he couldn't fight his head, so he started playing Zhengzhi cards in a hurry.
Luo Sheng had long expected that this situation would definitely happen, so he was not surprised at all, nor was he nervous. Every amount of money the company earned in North America was clean, and he was waiting for FBI to come at any time.
But then again, everything has two sides, and it may not be a bad thing from another perspective. To some extent, this is a good publicity opportunity for Blue Star Technology Group.
The next afternoon, Zhang Bowen presided over a temporary media conference to respond and declare to Jeff Bezos' remarks.
[The Huaguo Zhengfu never asked its major platforms to delete any content. It would not have been, it would not have been, and it would not have been in the future. It would not have been in the past, and it would not have been in the future.]
[About data information security. All North American users' data are stored in North America, and backup systems are established for databases in Singapore and Switzerland. The data center is completely outside the jurisdiction of China, and these data will not be subject to the laws of China.]
This incident has caused heated discussions in the media at home and abroad, and the statements of Blue Star Technology Group have been reported by the media, especially in the mainland, where the hot discussion on this topic has become even more popular.
Luo Sheng rarely speaks in public, but it does not mean that he will not speak out. This time he also commented on his personal media account and posted several blog posts on the international version of microblog.
[Some of Jeff's remarks are obviously unfounded and irresponsible slander. His description of Blue Star Technology entering the North American market is obviously unreasonable. On the contrary, we have prepared a large budget to build large data centers in North America to provide better network services and data security. In fact, the efficiency rate we bring to advertisers is much higher than Google because there are no such products on the market. Obviously, Jeff wants to kill Blue Star Technology, but he will not succeed.]
After the blog post edited by Luo Sheng was posted, the attention was even higher. The media reposted the reports, and some media even exaggeratedly modified Bluestar Technology and Amazon to get into trouble. The two technology experts publicly fought each other, and Luo Sheng and Jeff Bezos formed a bond.
But interestingly, something interesting happened.
Luo Sheng sent this tweet at night. He logged into the microblog app app edited by the blog post through his Blue mobile phone. After clicking to send, he threw his phone aside to sleep.
In the broad daylight, in North America, about six hours after the blog post was posted, a Silicon Valley tech giant left a comment under his blog post, and the comment only had three question marks.
???
This big guy is Larry Page, one of the co-founders of Google. He also has a social media account, has registered with microblog for a long time, and has passed the celebrity certification. However, he doesn’t have many fans, and Luo Sheng has fewer than him.
A blog post by Luo Sheng also exploded Larry Page, and things became more and more interesting. Netizens who are following the technology industry are also watching the fun and not paying attention to the big deal, and they are leaving messages.
"It's another famous scene of popular big names in the technology world fighting each other, but this time it's not Jobs and Gates."
"So what do these three question marks of Page mean?"
"Page: What's the matter with me when you quarrel?"
"It is suggested that Blue Star Technology simply acquire Amazon, then flaunt Jeff, or send him to bookstores to sell books and be an administrator, etc. As one of the world's largest Internet technology companies, there should be no problem with acquiring Amazon, although I admit that this is a bit rough..."
The messages gradually increased, and Luo Sheng also gained a lot of fans. Most netizens expressed their feelings for Google, who was inexplicably shot.
The industry is also paying great attention. Some people in the technology industry in Silicon Valley also jumped out to support Amazon and said:
[If there is no more Amazon to take action, we will all face a cruel future, one person, one company, and one platform, will be the only option, which is too bad.]
Originally, the media was quite popular with the media, and netizens also liked it. They also hoped that both sides could argue more fiercely, and maybe they would make a big deal.
When Jobs and Gates, two famous celebrities, had a fight with each other, the scene was even more serious than gunpowder.
However, Luo Sheng did not continue to pay attention to this matter, because at the moment, Wall Street has almost entered the tranquility before the storm.
