As time goes by mid-to-late April, Bluestar Technology Group released its first quarter audit financial report for the first quarter of 2013 on April 19. Zhang Bowen also held a regular media conference on the performance statement to convey the company's outlook for the market and investors this year, but refused to set specific performance indicators for the group company.

Bluestar Technology never sets exact performance indicators for next quarter or fiscal year, and Google does not want to be a slave to money and a money-making machine.

According to the financial report, Bluestar Technology Group's global operating income in the first quarter was US$23.65 billion, which not only stopped falling compared with US$21.17 billion in the previous quarter, but also rose 11.71%.

The net profit in the first quarter was US$3.831 billion, with a net profit margin of 16.2%, setting the lowest level of Bluestar Technology's revenue in history. You should know that the net profit margin during the period of disruption once soared to a terrifying level of 37%.

However, for nowadays, net profit margin is not the focus, the focus is on the growth rate of revenue, which means that market share recovery and the development of emerging markets will be rewarded.

As long as you occupy enough market share and form a real monopoly situation, you will be fattened and then killed. At that time, the lost profits today will be included in the future with capital and profit.

The audited financial report meets the expectations of Wall Street analysts. The Nasdaq stock market reacted very promptly the next day. Bluestar Technology Group's stock rose 6%, and after-hours trading closed at $459.28 per share, with a total market value of $895.6 billion. It firmly ranked as the world's number one listed company, more than twice the number of ExxonMobil Oil, which ranked second.

In the past year, Bluestar Technology's stock has experienced many ups and downs and rise again, causing retail investors to die, but they have never lost the throne of the world's number one listed company. This also reflects from the current trend of technology oligarchs replacing oil and financial oligarchs.

As the actual leading global technology stocks today, Bluestar Technology will not be mentioned. Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are all catching up, and the theme of driving economic growth with emerging technologies is the basis.

...

As time goes by, in late April, the 2013 annual developer conference of Blue Star Technology Group was held on the 28th of this month.

The developer conference was held in the indoor hall of the new headquarters of Mobius Ring, with a large event venue that can accommodate four or five thousand people. Developers from all over the world have arrived in Sioux City two days ago.

This period of time is also extremely busy for developers in the world, and they have to travel around the headquarters of major technology giants in the world to attend the conference.

Now, May is coming soon to be Google's i/o conference, followed by Microsoft's developer conference, Oracle's oow conference, etc.

Nine o'clock in the morning.

The conference gathered developers from more than 100 countries and regions around the world, with a total of more than 3,000 people. Most of them each had an Apple computer and an Azure-3 or IEP tablet.

From time to time, media reporters carried camera equipment on the aisle to shoot. They were occupied by the reporters who arrived first in the best position and set up their own equipment.

The overall light of the audience was dim and the whole audience seemed quite quiet. Most developers were staring at the work computer placed on their thighs, or thinking quietly. Some people were whispering and chatting privately.

At this time, a microphone sound came from the scene: "Ladies and gentlemen! Applause welcomes Mr. Lu Qi, Vice President and Executive President of the Cloud Computing Department of Blue Star Technology Group, to unveil the developer conference."

The lights in the audience area of ​​the venue were all turned off, and the lights were focused on the stage in front, and there was also a burst of not very warm applause. Everyone was a formulaic applause and randomly, staring silently in front of them.

I saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses, a white long-sleeved shirt and a tie walking onto the stage without any haste. His figure was not as tall as a stout person, and he looked quite lean and strong.

But this person is a technology expert who is well-known to everyone in the industry.

Lu Qi, a man who has been worried about his next job after resigning from Yahoo, was fought over by Bluestar Technology and Microsoft at the same time. In the end, Lu Qi chose to join Bluestar Technology and took charge of the most important product, Nebula Starcloud, to this day.

Today, Lu Qi is one of the directors of Blue Star Technology Group. Luo Sheng nominated him to the board of directors two years ago. He is now one of the absolute core executives of the group company. His annual salary has increased to more than US$150 million, which is higher than Zhang Bowen, the second-ranked person in the company.

However, compared with the annual salary, the 0.325% option stock reward that Lu Qi has received so far to join Blue Star Technology is the big one. Based on the current market value of Blue Star Technology, the stocks he holds are worth up to US$2.9 billion, which is not counting other assets he holds.

However, the wealth reached the level of Lu Qi and others, and they could not spend all their money in their lives. Career ideals and spiritual pursuits are what they long for.

At this moment, Lu Qi on the stage gave a simple development greeting and got to the point: "This year marks the 10th anniversary of the birth of Blue Star Technology. From this year on, we no longer regard ourselves as an Internet advertising service provider. From this developer conference, in a special year of our group company, we announced that we would choose to fully transform into an AI software service provider and strive to systematically integrate AI into this system."

The developers off the field were listening and watching silently, and international competitors were also paying attention.

Lu Qi's words undoubtedly mean that Blue Star Technology is going to bet on Allin this time in the field of artificial intelligence. Many people still clearly remember that the last time was Luo Sheng announced Allin's cloud computing service in 2006, which poured all the 5.6 billion US dollars of IPo at that time. No one was optimistic at that time, which once caused Blue Star Technology's stock price to fall.

The result of that time was that Blue Star Technology has become the world's largest cloud service company and is invincible in the industry.

This time, the industry will not be like the last time. Major technology giants around the world have made efforts in the field of artificial intelligence, and the craze has not only not faded, but has also risen further.

Lu Qi's orderly voice resounded throughout the audience: "In the context of today's era when cloud services are about to enter a flood, Bluestar Technology wants to use artificial intelligence to create differentiated advantages in the industry. Bluestar Technology, born with social networks, has made a large-scale layout in the cloud market, including undersea data centers, etc. in recent years, and has chosen to embody artificial intelligence technology into cloud services."

Lu Qi said loudly: "We will propose a brand new concept and integrate it into two major parallel businesses' strategies for the coordinated development. That is: and."

Luo Sheng or Bluestar Technology likes to propose new concepts in daily life, such as cloud computing, big data, self-media, etc., and everyone is used to it.

In fact, this is also a side contrast to Bluestar Technology's always maintaining strong innovation vitality.

"In the traditional sense, cloud computing requires user data to be transmitted through layers of networks to be transmitted to large server arrays for processing, but most IoT devices do not actually require particularly powerful computing power to support it, which causes unnecessary waste of network resources."

The industry was very eye-catching, especially some enterprise-level customer groups, and they were definitely happy to hear this. This is actually telling the industry that Bluestar Technology is developing new technologies to further reduce costs, which in turn enhances the international competitiveness of products and solutions.

International friendly business colleagues are quite serious after hearing this. Reducing costs means improving international competitiveness. Now, Bluestar Technology's solutions are really good and cheap compared to companies like Google, Microsoft, and Saft. The international competitiveness they bring is envious and jealous of.

Some companies in North America have begun to complain, calling on the authorities to lay off employees if they are not allowed to cooperate with Bluestar Technology, or the authorities will subsidize the company.

There is no way, too high costs will inevitably lead to a lack of competitiveness. The most typical example is the competition between the local e-commerce company Prestomall, a Malesia e-commerce company, and the outsider's Amazon company.

Amazon is ambitiously entering the Southeast Asian market and feels that it will be able to settle this market soon. Bald Bezos said he will occupy this market in half a year.

As a result, my face was swollen and I was so embarrassed. Now the local prestomall company has begun to take off. The growth rate of nearly 200% in two fiscal years has left Amazon far behind. Now it has connected to Bluestar Technology's solutions, and its competitiveness has undoubtedly been further improved.

Many people actually already know Luo Sheng’s strategic intentions and Bluestar Technology’s strategy to explore emerging market economic regions. One of the main lines is to help local enterprises improve their international competitiveness and then compete with enterprises in developed countries and regions, thus forcing enterprises in developed countries to return and put pressure on the authorities.

At the same time, this move can also be strongly supported by the authorities in emerging market economies. Under this "altruism" mutually beneficial strategy, it is unsurprising and reasonable to obtain local support.

Therefore, Bluestar Technology is very popular to emerging markets in the third world.

"Edge computing actually requires the deployment of servers locally or in small network environments to provide computing power support to IoT devices nearby, thereby further reducing the access cost of AI cloud computing."

"In terms of intelligent cloud computing, Bluestar Technology will launch two new 'cloud programming tools' for developers around the world this year. The first one is called Intellicode. The built-in AI allows developers to provide intelligent suggestions during the programming process, thereby improving code quality and improving productivity."

The coder said that his eyes lit up when he heard this. What a good thing.

"And another software called liveshare allows multiple developers to collaborate in real-time programming and debugging of code in the programming environment of Bluestar Technology Group."

"In terms of smart edge computing services, Bluestar Technology has chosen its open source cloud platform and launched supporting hardware facilities, so that third-party IoT device developers can apply their technology to their own products more easily."

Speaking of this, Lu Qi showed off with a calm expression and said seriously: "Among this, the two major projects we are going to launch this year are the killer weapons that Blue Star Technology is proud of in star-iot-edge technology."

"PKB is a small deep learning sensor suite that embeds a variety of sensors including the new generation of depth sensors under Bluestar Technology. It combines Bluestar Technology's edge computing architecture services and can be used to handle computer vision tasks."

"Pbb is a dedicated processing platform for artificial intelligence, and the core computing device is a dedicated chip for machine learning. Thanks to the physical characteristics of this type of chip, developers can program and customize this chip function by themselves."

Bluestar Technology has also begun to deeply lay out its underlying architecture, which makes Silicon Valley technology giants feel extremely uncomfortable. Is this the more you suppress it, the more you need to do it?

Or is the suppression insufficient?
