Chapter 538 [Preliminary preparations for the ladder should mention the agenda]

According to the financial report, the number of users of the social network under Bluestar Technology Group has reached 1.85 billion worldwide. There is no doubt that the number of users in Asia is China, reaching 700 million, and it is also the world's first. The Internet users in Greater China have also exceeded 700 million this year. Almost every Chinese will use at least one Bluestar Technology product and service.

The second is the subcontinental market in Asia, with 138 million people; the third is Indonesia, with 78 million people; the fourth is the Philippines, with 45 million people; the fifth is Japan, with 33 million people.

Bluestar Technology also released an important data in its just released fiscal year 2013: the number of mobile Internet monthly active users has exceeded 1.3 billion mark, reaching 1.382 billion.

This shows that the number of mobile users of Bluestar Technology is almost equal to that of PC and mobile users, with the total number of monthly active users of PC and mobile devices reaching 1.7 billion.

Zhang Bowen also said on the earnings call that this data does not include the number of users of cross-platform chat applications under Bluestar Technology.

It is still easy to obtain users for Bluestar Technology Group. Its total user scale is said to be of the same order as the Internet platform itself, which is by no means false.

Bluestar Technology's annual revenue in 2013 reached US$117.73 billion and its net profit was US$18.079 billion, which exceeded last year's revenue, but its net profit was more than US$2 billion less than last year.

The market may care more about profits, but what the company itself cares about most is revenue. The former represents short-term interests, while the latter represents long-term interests.

The lower profits than last year were in line with Wall Street analysts' expectations, but the sharp rise in revenues exceeded Wall Street analysts and the market's expectations.

What does the growth in revenue scale show?

This shows that Bluestar Technology was constantly expanding its business territory last year, and the growth of global user base is the best proof.

It also shows that Bluestar Technology not only did not drain itself, but was gradually recovering steadily by opening up emerging markets, which shocked the industry.

But what was shocked was that the Costa del Blue and Blue Star Technology complemented each other and blossomed directly.

The two companies suffered such a strong blow and crisis last year and were able to survive so quickly. If it were ordinary multinational giants, they would have collapsed long ago. The vitality of the two companies has also refreshed the industry's cognition.

The strong are really strong.

...

Sucheng, Technology Complex Building.

In Luo Sheng's private office, he was standing in front of a super large 4k high-definition touch screen wall panel. The screen showed the southeastern area of ​​the Strait of Malacca, while Luo Sheng was staring at the east coast of Linga County, which belongs to Indonesia, just near the equatorial line.

Luo Sheng drew a circle on the screen map with his fingertips and said, "Xiao Na, find out whether the hydrological environment in this area is suitable for establishing a super giant freight port, which must be a deep-water port that can accommodate 400,000-ton cargo ships."

"Okay, it has invaded Indonesia's internal network system of land and resources."

This kind of data is generally not found online, but it is easy for Luo Sheng to want data, and he is not the kind of person who sticks to the form.

Anyway, it is a good thing for Indonesia, or even a matter of undesirable gain, but Luo Sheng never fights an unprepared battle.

The space ladder is a century-long project with a time span, but some preliminary preparations should be put on the agenda.

For example, when building a ground freight port, the materials on the earth will be sent to space on a large scale in the future, and most of the goods will choose to be shipped. Therefore, a deep-water port hub must be provided around the ladder base station, and a huge freight terminal must be provided.

Moreover, this port will not be vacant even after it is built. You can do nothing about the ladder first. You can operate it as a freight terminal first. Maybe you can also grab Singapore's shipping business.

Although Luo Sheng doesn't like this little money, it's also good to make some money in the port's maintenance fee.

But I have to say that Indonesia is really not good, its geographical location and conditions are actually not worse than Singapore. I have thought about where to intercept a little shipping share from Singapore, but what should I do if I can't beat it?

After a while, Xiaona responded.

"Master, the data shows that the place is suitable for building a deep-water port."

Luo Sheng was energetic: "Okay, contact Xiao Shijie."

This person is the executive vice president of Xingjian International. Although Luo Sheng serves as Xingjian International Ceo, he knows his current situation and it is better to stay in China honestly in the next few years.

Some business activities that need to be completed before they can be handled can be sent to their subordinates. You can just sit at the headquarters and plan for video conferences. The probability of going abroad is a blast.

As the career reaches its current scale, the number of people will wish that he will evaporate on this planet.

Obviously, Luo Sheng plans to let Xingjian International take charge of the freight port, and lay the foundation first. Only a few people including Liu Jianwei know about the "Space Ladder" plan, and even Xiao Shijie doesn't know about this plan.

It is too early now, so there is no need to reveal it. It will be made public when bidding cooperation is launched to the world in the future. Before that, what Luo Sheng had to do was to actively make arrangements for himself and for Xingjian International to gain the right to speak and control the space ladder.

This must be an international cooperation project, not a company, and one country can build a successful one, and it cannot be mixed with too many political considerations. Political factors are definitely inevitable, but they cannot become the dominant role. They must be driven by the nature of commercial space activities as the dominant force to achieve it. Otherwise, each will have ulterior motives, and the final result will be a mess and a laughing stock.

Luo Sheng could even predict that at that time, major media would label him as a delusional and arrogant person.

Face will be thrown to the whole world.

Business drivers are core interests and profits. Whoever brings benefits is concerned. Only large-scale cooperation with commercial attributes can promote the joint efforts of multiple parties for common interests. Although business drivers have their own ulterior motives, after all, relative measurement is the best solution.

"Mr. Luo, are you looking for me?"

Xiaona helped Luo Sheng contact Xiao Shijie, and his voice was heard in the office lobby.

"Shijie, I'll give you a task. You recruit a marine survey team to go to the east coast of Linga County, Indonesia to investigate the local hydrological environment and see if a large deep-water port can be built locally." Luo Sheng is more willing to believe in more solid results. Indonesia's data is just a reference. It is difficult for you to have much confidence in the local technology. Indonesia can benefit from this point of birth. In addition, it has no substantial contribution to building a space ladder.

Xiao Shijie was confused when he heard the boss's words, "Mr. Luo, I don't understand what you mean."

Luo Sheng: "Oh, I plan to build a super-large deep-water port in the local area. You will discuss this issue with the Indonesian authorities. We invest in the port construction. Indonesia can invest 30% of the shares. We will advance the 30% equity, but they will provide them with cheap labor and some raw materials. Oh, right, let's buy a few more large ships and tankers."

Xiao Shijie was confused again and was confused in an instant. Xingjian International is a private space exploration technology research and development company. What kind of operation is this big boss? How could he ask the company to allocate heavy assets, and it is traditional shipping?

"Mr. Luo, this..."

"If you want to go to heaven, go to the sea first."
