Chapter 337 [The heart-stuck Microsoft wants to jump the Oracle bone]
During this period, major IT giants have also released their financial reports.
On July 27, the third day after the release of Bluestar Technology Group's q2 financial report, Microsoft also disclosed its performance statement.
According to foreign media reports, the Business Weekly website published an article.
After Intel, Bluestar Technology, ibm and other IT companies released financial reports that exceeded investors' expectations, Microsoft made a completely different voice from these companies, and its net profit fell sharply.
According to Microsoft's financial report, in the financial report ended on June 30, the total revenue was US$16.6 billion and the net profit was US$3.05 billion, the revenue fell 17% year-on-year, and the net profit fell 29% year-on-year.
Bluestar Technology Group's total revenue of US$12.77 billion, but its net profit exceeded that of Microsoft.
The net profit of $3.05 billion is indeed a huge amount, but this is the second time in Microsoft's 23-year history that its profit has shrunk.
As Microsoft's net profit and revenue both failed to meet analyst expectations, investors sold Microsoft's shares in subsequent after-hours trading, causing the company's stock price to fall by 8.84% in after-hours trading.
So far, Microsoft's Nasdaq price per share is $23.30, down $2.26, corresponding to a market value of $206.7 billion.
Before the financial report was announced, there were US$227.4 billion, and compared with the two, more than US$20 billion evaporated.
Before Microsoft released this financial report that disappointed investors, the entire securities market continued to rise due to the rebound in performance of major IT companies. In contrast, Bluestar Technology, currently the largest market value among the world's IT listed companies, on the day Microsoft's stock price plummeted, Bluestar Technology's stock price rose by about 4.27%, which made Microsoft's senior executives feel very upset.
The total market value of Blue Star Technology has thus reached US$256.3 billion, surpassing the "No. 1 line of the universe" IBC ranked third in the world, with the number one China Petroleum and the second ExxonMobil.
Luo Sheng reads two latest newspapers every day, one from the industry and the other from the academic world.
He has also paid attention to Microsoft's recent situation. Bluestar Technology has now overturned Microsoft's throne as the first stock of the it-tech giant and proudly stands in the world with the new king's throne. No one expected that it would have opened a gap of about $50 billion with Microsoft in such a short time.
However, in Luo Sheng's view, Microsoft's prospects are still bright. It is expected that Windows 7 will stimulate a new round of computer sales after its release in October, and Microsoft has announced that it plans to launch a new version of the Office software next year.
Most people think that Microsoft's most profitable business is the Windows system, but in fact, the business contributed only $3.1 billion of Microsoft's $16.6 billion revenue this quarter, and the most profitable one is actually the office software.

Qin Weimu's villa.
It's night.
Luo Sheng walked out of the bathroom slowly, wiped the water droplets from his hair with a bath towel, and almost shook the bath towel aside and went to the bedroom.
At this moment, Qin Weimu was sitting against the head of the bed. She was wearing a nightgown from a luxury brand La-per from Italy, giving people a high-end and sexy elegance. She personally loves this brand more.
But Erin likes French brands.
Obviously, Luo Sheng’s appearance in her villa shows that today is an odd day of the week.
Qin Weimu was staring at the screen with an Azure mobile phone. After seeing Luo Sheng coming in, she immediately said: "Foreign message, you should watch this video."
Luo Sheng got into the bed and went carelessly and subconsciously said: "Xiao Na, cut the video to the home screen."
After saying that, he looked at the LCD screen on the wall and waited, but after he finished speaking, there was no response.
After a while, Luo Sheng realized that it was Qin Weimu's home, not the Technology Complex, and her villa was not connected to the smart home hosting system.
"Xiao Na?"
Hearing the sound coming from the side, Luo Sheng subconsciously turned his head and saw Qin Weimu focusing on his eyes like staring at death.
Luo Sheng was sweating wildly and quickly explained: "Her Majesty the Queen, please be sure to listen to my explanation first. It is definitely a huge misunderstanding. Xiaona is an artificial intelligence nov Nafu developed by me, and her nickname is Xiaona."
"Yeah?"
Qin Weimu stared at his eyes motionlessly, trying to see from it whether Luo Sheng was lying, but he didn't comment for too long before he looked away because she also knew that if this guy wanted to disguise, he would basically not see valuable information from her eyes.
"It's true. Am I that stupid that lies that can be broken with just one click?" Luo Sheng said confidently.
Qin Weimu turned around and stared at Luo Sheng again: "You still have a lie to me that I can't expose?"
Luo Sheng: "..."
Finally, Luo Shengsheng said reluctantly: "Baby, this is not a construction site, let's not argue? Or you might as well move into the technology complex."
I suddenly felt so tired of explaining this problem to a woman.
Qin Weimu did not continue to argue about this issue, nor did he say anything, but directly threw the phone in his hand to him.
Luo Sheng picked it up and looked at it. It was an interview video. When he saw the interviewee, he said in surprise: "What did you let me see Larry Ellison's interview? I don't like this guy very much."
Seeing that Qin Weimu refused to respond, Luo Sheng immediately clicked to play the interview video.
This is a video of Oracle founder Larry Ellison interviewing Fox Radio and Television.
In the video being played, Ellison said: "...I am very happy to see the recovery of the US economy, but I think we should be more wary of new competitors at this time, that is, Chinese people. If their economy exceeds us, if they are allowed to train more engineers than us, if their technology companies defeat our technology companies, our military will lag behind them soon, and so will our economy, and we are gradually competing with them more and more fiercely."
"Of course I support America, I hope we can win, I hope we can further lead and develop and protect our technology, and it must be the same. I think it is necessary to strengthen economic investment, develop the economy, and develop technology. They have many very talented engineers and contribute a lot of intellectual property rights. There are also technology giants like BTC (Blue Star Technology) and ACC (Côte d'Azur). I think it is very important that we can win and must win in the competition with them. We don't want to be second..."
Luo Sheng can summarize the general idea of this interview video of the founder of Oracle Bone, after watching it, he said: How can this work? They cannot surpass the United States.
The subtext is: suppression.
After reading this interview, Luo Sheng put his phone aside and smiled: "Oracle bone script is probably anxious. Even if the translation software and mysql make Ellison feel the crisis, you should be alert if you remind me like this. This guy likes to do these wild ways..."
Bluestar Technology's instant translation business exploded in the market as soon as it was launched. Strictly speaking, it has crazily harvested more than 4 billion US dollars in revenue worldwide in less than a quarter. As a new business, it is really crazy.
Behind this is the power of big data, of course, behind this is even more inseparable from the assistance of artificial intelligence.
In a sense, the instant translation business has turned Bluestar Technology into a global enterprise-level software service provider. Oracle is the world's largest enterprise-level software company, and Luo Sheng has the card MySQL, so it would be strange if Ellison is not in a hurry.
This is the same as Jeff Bezos jumped out to "worry about the country and the people" for America. Both of them clearly felt that the hinterland of his kingdom had been threatened by Luo Sheng, and he had not yet come up with a reliable solution to deal with this crisis.
Luo Sheng lay on his back and looked at the smallpox and complained: "My career is too difficult. I have to compete with Microsoft, Amazon, Google, ibm, Intel, and almost all Silicon Valley tech giants on my own..."
Qin Weimu ignored him and complained: "Shut up and serve the bed."
