Chapter 612 [SIA can't bear the pressure anymore]
As the end of the month approaches, the annual report data of Blue Star Technology Group, Costa del Blue and Blue Pure Electric Automobile Company have also been released. The 2015 annual reports of the two companies also disclosed their audit financial reports in the three-day interval.
Bluestar Technology's total revenue in 2015 reached US$168.035 billion, an increase of about 22% compared with last year's performance. The company's net profit margin was actively lowered to 8.36%, and its net profit for the whole year was US$14 billion.
Since Bluestar Technology once hit a peak annual revenue of US$203 billion, the situation has changed a lot in the next few years, and its market value has fluctuated violently over the years.
However, now, since the revenue of Blue Star Technology was once cut in half, it has continued to rise slowly, while the company's net profit is decreasing, but the company's market value is now rising in fluctuations.
At present, the market value of Blue Star Technology has reached 1.32 trillion US dollars, surpassing Blue Pure Electric Automobile Company. The media also joked that Luo Sheng was so lonely that he was fighting with each other.
The North American strike did not affect the market value of Bluestar Technology, and investors even voted with their feet, because Bluestar Technology's current stock price is a choice made by investors after the management clearly decided to give up the North American market.
The result is obvious, investors believe in the future of Bluestar Technology.
The company's expansion achievements in the subcontinent are quite gratifying. Now it is deploying in the traditional retail market, with the offline traffic entrance first entering Alibaba. In addition, the sudden commercialization of Lifi technology is a pilot, but the prospects are promising.
As expected, after the 40 commercial pilots are over, the offline traffic entrance of Lifi technology will further stimulate Bluestar Technology's performance. Investors are very optimistic about this. In addition, Bluestar Technology's real revenue growth is there, and even a group of Wall Street investors cannot ignore it.
A rise in stock prices is inevitable.
The stock god Bafite won again, and bought at the bottom early, and now he is making a lot of money.
Bluestar Technology has always had institutions short selling, but they only made small fuss to cut off the leeks. The bulls and bears fight in the market every day. Like the previous move of trying to make the company half-disabled, no organization dared to start.
The Costa 1999-year global sales of $265.6 billion, with growth slowing down, and the hardware sector's revenue has actually begun to shrink by about 20%. The reason is that the company has not launched new products, neither the acc game console, the IEP tablet or the Azure smartphone, has not launched the latest flagship phones.
Without new products to be launched, the company's revenue can maintain growth has been beyond the expectations of Wall Street analysts. The main source of its growth is the efforts of the ecosystem, the revenue of the aos app store and the gaming sector.
The Costa delle does not do game development, but the acc console is now at a sales scale of 200 million yuan. Major games are released on the acc platform, and the commission revenue is becoming more and more considerable.
Among them, this year's star products "The Witcher 3" and "gta5" were released in 2015, becoming the annual phenomenon-level best-selling masterpieces, game developers, publishers, and platforms all made a lot of money.
Another reason that cannot be ignored is that domestic game consoles were lifted in 2015. Although there was actually not much boost to the domestic game console market, it was at least a very good start.
The ability to lift the ban is to a certain extent due to the military-civilian integration strategy. The country needs talents in this area. It is very good to play games. In today's era, there is really a chance to be specially recruited.
Costa 10,000 net profit margin was compressed to 9% last year, generating $24 billion in revenue.
Luo Sheng's second listed company, Weilan Pure Electric Automobile Company, listed on Da A, achieved an astonishing revenue of RMB 1288 billion last year, which is approximately US$207 billion regardless of exchange rate changes.
This is the biggest dark horse, but everyone knows the fundamental reason why the performance of Blue Pure Electric Auto can be so impressive.
The people who trade futures are bleeding. This number of scalpers contributed at least 65%. If it weren't for the contribution of scalpers, the revenue of Weilan Pure Electric Auto last year should be around 450 billion yuan.
This performance also brought the company's market value to a new level, reaching a height of over 8 trillion yuan (about 1.29 trillion US dollars). The Da A's Dinghai Shenzhen is worthy of its name.
But the most terrifying thing is the net profit margin, which has reached an exaggerated 72%, or RMB 927.3 billion, and it is the core contribution of scalpers.
However, in the annual report conference call, the management of the Blue Pure Electric Automobile Company has already clarified the company's future layout and the profits earned will not be used for dividends, which disappointed the shareholders who are looking forward to dividends, but there is no way, and it is useless to oppose it. The voting cannot reach the number of votes, and no dividends are distributed.
The profits earned are used for expansion and R&D investment, the laying of charging piles, and electricity bill subsidies. With the increase in electric vehicle shipments, electricity bill subsidies will grow rapidly. The country has to subsidize the company more than 167.2 billion yuan a year.
Money will be spent quickly, and these budgets have been planned early.
Dividends are impossible. The Blue pure electric automobile company insists on "never" not paying dividends, and would rather put funds in the company's small treasury as cash reserves and depreciate them than pay dividends.
Although the Company Law stipulates that listed companies must pay dividends at least once within five years, the Blue Pure Electric Vehicle Company will only go public and will give out a dividend of 5 million in five years.
...
Entering February.
"The 40 commercial landing pilot projects connected to Lifi have been widely praised by users. In recent days, many retailers and department stores in Japan and South Korea have wanted to connect to the technology for their supermarkets. Some have come to the Costa del Azure, while others have come to the Blue Star Technology."
At the Science and Technology Complex Building, An Qingxue reported to Luo Sheng and sorted out the company reports of Yao Jianhong and Zhang Bowen and handed them to Luo Sheng.
"This matter..." Luo Sheng thought about it for a moment and said to himself: "They are interested in lifi technology. This matter Blue Star Technology and the Costa del Blue retreated behind the scenes, pushing Hyland Haas and his purelifi company to the front, focusing on promoting lifi technology and paving the way for standardization."
As the saying goes, no profit, no early rise. Businesses in Japan and South Korea have taken a fancy to this technology. The date is about to be the May Day holiday. The domestic tourists will soon run around the world. The first choice is Japan and South Korea. Foreigners have seen the strength of Chinese people in recent years.
Some areas have poor economic economies, and once tourists from China enter, the local economy will surge like a drug.
If the "rabbit" wants to do someone, not talk about other tricks and only needs to limit the input to local tourists, the economic prosperity of that place may be an important depression overnight.
This is really no joke.
What I am fighting for is a labor-management group, which looks simple and unpretentious, but in fact it is very hard-core.
These local merchants in Japan and South Korea have begun to prepare for big promotions. The access to Lifi technology is obviously to provide a better shopping experience. This investment is worth it and the cost can definitely be recovered.
An Qingxue made memos one by one, and at this moment Xiaona's voice responded.
"Master, Zhang Bowen requests video communication."
"Come on."
Luo Sheng immediately looked at the computer screen on his desk. After a while, a window popped up under Xiaona's hosting, and Zhang Bowen's image appeared.
"Mr. Luo, North America has sent someone here and said he wants to talk to us. I guess Mr. Yao has also received the news."
Sure enough, when Zhang Bowen just finished speaking, Yao Jianhong also requested a connection.
Luo Sheng said: "Plushes Lao Yao into this channel."
Anyway, there is nothing to hide.
"Mr. Luo, huh? Mr. Zhang is also here? Did I enter the wrong channel?"
Luo Sheng smiled and said, "This is a private message channel, you are not wrong."
Yao Jianhong: "So that's it. Mr. Zhang is here. Then I think it should be the same thing."
Luo Sheng nodded: "It seems that the other party can't stand the pressure anymore."
The two people in the video screen couldn't help but smile. Yao Jianhong said with a smile: "If it were me, I wouldn't be able to withstand it. We have made great moves one after another. Now Lifi has started to be commercially used. They are also afraid that tomorrow we will suddenly announce that DNA storage will soon enter the commercial landing pilot. Those semiconductor manufacturers will not be furious? I guess they don't know what we will do next, and they are very panicked now, haha."
Although Luo Sheng and his team management did not know what happened within the opponent during this period, they could also be judged that there must be conflicts and differences within them, and they quickly compromised each other.
To be precise, it is a compromise between SIA and North America. Otherwise, even if international manufacturers do not choose to be enemies with Luo Sheng, they will never deliberately offend them, and there is a high probability that they will come over to make friends and play together.
When the suppression of Luo Sheng and the technical jamming lost its due effect, it is meaningless to continue to be stubborn. Since reshuffle is inevitable, the most important thing now is how to gain greater benefits in the new game.
Foreigners are quite realistic in this regard. In domestic terms, those who know the times are heroes and follow the trend.
Luo Sheng said to them: "The negotiations will continue as planned and will not change. I will not show up. You two will discuss with Old Man John on behalf of Costa del Blue and Blue Star Technology. Our conditions are still the same."
"Côte d'Azur wants to have a first-line supply chain with international semiconductors. Don't get me a bad product. What I want is the latest generation of technology. And they have to pay 65% of the moving fee for Bluestar Technology to withdraw from the North American market, just treat it as a 'breakup fee'. If you don't agree, you will do whatever you decide before."

(ps: The plot timeline of this book has been advanced to 2016. The semiconductor layout is just beginning. The technological level in the world background should be ahead in some fields. Once the semiconductor chips are fully laid out, it can take off. As of this chapter, most of the technology has been in reality. The subsequent technology should be ahead of the times. The technology written later should become increasingly "black", but it still requires a process, rather than suddenly coming out. For example, the layout of Lifi technology, as an infrastructure technology, the emergence of the Internet of Things will not be abrupt for future unmanned driving.)
