Chapter 248 [Google's ambitions [2200]
Luo Sheng finished the call with Zhang Bowen, sat for a while, and then stood up from the marble seat on the roadside. He did not continue to start, but took a walk, and several personal bodyguards who accompanied him also followed him.
The pedestrians passing by on the road were all young college students because the nearby one was Siouxun University.
I'm afraid that few college students today don't know the legendary figure Luo Sheng.
Especially the Yangcheng Lake Campus of Sucheng University, the distance from the new headquarters of Blue Star Technology Group is only about four or five kilometers away. Who doesn’t know this company nowadays? Who doesn’t know this company, and who doesn’t know the founder and richest man of this company?
At this moment, when Luo Sheng was walking, the men and women and college students who were walking on the road couldn't help but stop looking at him.
Many people are very excited because it was the first time they met their idol in their hearts close, especially girls, who basically had a moment of fantasy of being Cinderella.
Speaking of which, at the end of autumn in 2007, a word on the Internet suddenly became popular at that time, and became more and more popular.
This Internet buzzword is often accompanied by some photos of Luo Sheng, which has become an indisputable synonym for "tall, handsome and rich", and has also become a super idol admired by countless young boys born in the 1980s and the most perfect object that countless girls fantasize about encounters.
During this time, Luo Sheng, who was walking, would smile politely along the way when he met some college students who passed by him, and sometimes he would nod. When he met some beautiful girls, he would put some electricity and use his eyes to twitch some girls. Some girls would be trembling with their hearts on the spot.
Luo Sheng was very calm, but the college girls turned their heads too shyly, their hearts pounded, or they unconsciously accelerated a few steps, and they felt guilty inexplicably, and they couldn't help but think deeply in their hearts.
Speaking of which, most of the college girls in this era are still very pure and reserved, with a kind of youthful cuteness, which contrasts with the unrestrained personality of girls ten years later.
Of course, this era is not without it. Modern cities like Shencheng also have exceptions like Erin.
In fact, there were still many people who wanted to rush up and sign and take photos with Luo Sheng. However, seeing the seven or eight serious bodyguards beside him, their faces were clearly written that they should not be close to each other, and they finally gave up this idea.
However, people with mobile phones can't help but take pictures in the distance. Most of them are just feature phones, but at least they can take pictures. A small number of college students have bought the Azure phones under the Costa del Azure. This phone can be said to be a current artifact. It can be taken out of your pocket and become the target of everyone's attention.
There were also some not positive news, such as some time ago when someone bought a blue phone to sell kidneys, and some girls went to Yuan to help with dates for a blue phone. These incidents have evolved into emoticons and spreading wildly online.
What became popular quickly.
...
At this moment, the people who passed by Luo Sheng were also whispering to the classmates around him, both men and women.
The girls' whispers are like this:
"Well, he was flirting with me just now, and his eyes almost made me feel weak..."
"I'll go, you dead girl won't be overflowing, right?"
"What to do? It's going to fall!"
"It's not overflowing, it's probably overflowing."
And the men's discussion was like this:
"The technology stocks have also dived recently, and the market value of Blue Star Technology has also plummeted. Mr. Luo's value has shrunk significantly. He actually has this leisure and elegance to walk on the street. He is worthy of being the number one idol in my heart, a man like a god, a godlike existence, two words are stable!"
"Two words? Mom is mentally retarded."
"It's okay, anyway, Mr. Luo's value changes on the rich list will not affect my current ranking."
"Forehead……"
"I tell you that if you don't work hard, your ranking will be overtaken by me."
"You two... I often seem out of place with you because I'm not funny enough."
"Oh, Mad, it's so annoying that people are more popular. Seeing Luo Sheng's achievements and age, I thought that I was studying for a master's degree right now, and I didn't want to work hard anymore. I was very desperate. Oh my God, I don't want to work hard, give me a rich luoli."
"Actually, I have a place that is always ahead of Luo Sheng, and he will never catch up with him."
"You just keep pretending, this one is faster than I'm ready to applaud."
"Hey, I'm really 24 years older than him, is it a place where he can never catch up with me? I didn't want to tell this secret..."
"I'm down"
“…”
"Where is my bb machine, I don't think I'll kill this guy."
"Okay, you're cheating. This is better than pretending, and there are more details in it. Labor and capital are speechless..."
...
Luo Sheng finished his morning jog, went home and took a shower, and went to work in the company. Not long after he came to the office to sit down, Qin Weimu knocked on the door and entered.
Today, I first went to the Costa ça to work.
"After just now, Sun Microsystems announced Wednesday that as part of a major restructuring plan, the company will lay off 4,000 to 5,000 employees in the next six months, and will sell its work campus in Newark, California and return the facility leased in Sunnyvale, California. The Sun Company's action could save the company about $500 million a year while adjusting its equity structure."
Qin Weimu opened the materials in his hand and looked up, then looked up at Luo Sheng and added: "According to marketwat** station, the layoffs of Sun Microsystem this time account for about 13% of the company's total number. I think this is preparing for the acquisition of mysql." Un Microsystems is not as rich as Lanxing Technology. After hearing her report, Luo Sheng recognized Qin Weimu's speculation. The other party is likely to be actively operating in order to incorporate mysql under his command. It is insufficient funds and is difficult to raise funds. So he is willing to lay off employees to increase revenue and reduce expenses. Adjusting the equity structure is probably for cross-holding.
"If it weren't for financial strength, Sun Company was not my opponent. If it weren't for the barriers built by the North American authorities and tried their best to obstruct them, I would have swallowed Sun together." Luo Sheng said calmly.
Qin Weimu put the documents in his hand on the desktop, sat down on the chair next to him, and looked at Luo Sheng: "I think Google should be taken seriously. This may be the potential biggest competitor of the Costa delle. It was reported two years ago that Google intends to annex Sun Company in a bad situation."
"Google's current CEO Eric Schmidt once served as Sun's chief technology officer and is the best candidate to match the deal. According to Sun's current market value, Google doesn't have to pay a lot. Acquisition of Sun is difficult for us, but it is not a difficult thing for Google. At the same time, Google can also provide a necessary software platform through Sun to maintain sustainable development."
If Qin Weimu had only known legal affairs and had professional qualities in finance and auditing before, then since she worked with Luo Sheng for so long, she has evolved or made progress in the past few years.
Talent is one aspect, but hard work is also very critical. Talent determines the upper limit, and hard work determines the lower limit.
Although Qin Weimu is not a scientist, he has the qualities of a scientist. Scientists are always afraid of falling behind, so they are always understanding external information, analyzing information, thinking and transforming knowledge into the knowledge they have mastered, so as to make progress with the times.
Before working with Luo Sheng, Qin Weimu did not have such a deeper understanding of the IT industry as he did today. However, when she joined a technology company, self-discipline required her to naturally absorb this knowledge.
"Are you worried that Google will acquire Sun and form a chemical reaction with its Android system team to impact the AOS ecosystem?" Luo Sheng said looking at her.
Qin Weimu nodded slightly.
This is about 2005, a critical stage of the Costa delta plan. In August of the same year, Google quietly acquired Android and its team, a high-tech enterprise that was only 22 months old. At that time, its focus was on Nokia's operating system, and now the Android team is imitating AOS crazily.
At that time, not only Google was holding on to the big moves, but Luo Sheng was holding on to the big moves, but everyone was holding on to the big moves, and the leader of the Qiao Gang was also preparing for the iPhone project and also collaborating with Motorola.
Luo Sheng actually wanted to acquire the Android team, but he really didn't have the extra energy to do these things at that time. It was very difficult to acquire high-tech companies in North America. What is happening now is the best example.
Just because of the question of whom you have, it may make a simple acquisition operation very difficult. If Luo Sheng had the surname "Mei" instead of "Hua", it would be easier to acquire Android or sun.
For example, Bluestar Technology has fought for two years to land in North America. The acquisition of Sun has basically failed. It can be seen that the United States is strictly guarding its high-tech companies.
Fortunately, mysql is a Swedish company this time. Although it is not easy to acquire European companies, it is still much better than North America, especially in the current economic crisis. Europe is actually worse than North America now.
Europeans also know that they have been cheated by Americans, and they cannot say that they have any pain, so they can only break their teeth and swallow them into their stomachs.
Luo Sheng sorted out the complex relationships here before he took mysql into his pocket. It is really not easy to acquire high-tech companies in Europe and the United States, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
However, it is obviously worth it to succeed.
