Chapter 223: [Harvest is complete, pots are full]

, The latest chapter in the latest global monopoly of technology!
During this time, Luo Sheng's work focused on two new projects of Bluestar Technology, and on September 27 this year of the same month, the Cote d'Azur company held a press conference again. Yes, the Azure-3G version was officially launched.
Issuing mainly in overseas markets, the domestic 3G network is also accelerating the construction of steps.
The new product has not changed in a subversive manner, so Luo Sheng did not appear to preside over the press conference.
The biggest highlight is that the price is 10% more expensive, emmm ... well.
Luo Sheng chose to take the high-end route, and would not follow the old routine of small profits but quick turnover. The technological content of the product is more than five years ahead of the industry.
The biggest technical highlight of the 3G version or what consumers expect is to support 3G networks. Although the Azure-X model supports WIFI functions, it is a mobile phone after all. It is not convenient to have WIFI everywhere in this era.
So Azure-X is almost a year from its release to now, with sales of more than 2 million units and a backlog of more than 100,000 units.
Consumers are not stupid. In addition, Azure mobile phones are not cheap. Even in the European market with strong consumer power, a mobile phone in Euros is definitely a high-end consumer product as a consumer electronics product.
The International Telecommunication Union's ITU organization has established a 3GPP standard protocol in the past two thousand years. The so-called 3GPP means the "3rd Generation Partnership Project",
For most consumers, obviously they want to wait for the 3G version to go on the market before buying, after all, it is not cheap.
In addition to supporting the 3G network, the Azure-3G version still has a lot of technical highlights, such as visual voice messages, voice calls, including video recording functions, and of course, the AOS2.0 operating system that is updated and launched simultaneously, and also includes more applications. Programs and third-party development software, more stable system operation and related optimization.
Users who purchased the Azure-X model can also upgrade to the AOS 2.0 update version on the day of the 3G version release, that is, December 24th, but some applications are still limited due to network speed. Can only be used in the case of WIFI networking.
It is worth mentioning that after the 3G version of the product was released to the market, the team of engineers on the French Riviera has begun to receive Luo Sheng's new task, that is, to develop a new generation of AP processors and communication baseband chips based on 4G networks.
In other words, it started to demonstrate the 4G version of the smart phone project. The initial investment of Luo Sheng was 500 million US dollars, but it is definitely not enough.
Nowadays, it is no longer necessary to find a bank loan, because the French Riviera has started to generate income, and the current financial environment cannot borrow a large amount of loans, because the continued outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis and the expansion of the spread have already affected the emergence of the real economy.
The most direct manifestation is that the physical manufacturing companies can't loan or it is more difficult to get loans than in the past. Now the major financial service companies are saving their lives. Where can I dare to borrow money or increase leverage?
Fortunately, the Cote d'Azur companies are not affected.
As the so-called step-by-step step by step, no accident Luo Sheng knows that around 2009, the International Telecommunication Union will complete the formulation of 4G standards, and this time the standard formulation will undoubtedly involve China.
The Cote d'Azur companies and Bluestar Technology Group are now members of 3GPP. The formulation of 4G standards is mainly promoted by hundreds of members of 3GPP, including various operators, equipment vendors, network service providers, and so on.
Cote d'Azur companies are equipment vendors, and Blue Star Technology Group is a network service provider.
According to the 3GPP standard protocol, as long as any member has the support of the other 4 members, they can initiate a proposal for discussion at the meeting.
Whether the proposal can be passed depends on the confrontation and good offices between the giant manufacturers. There is no doubt that the formulation of the 4G standard, Luo Sheng's voting weight ratio in the hands, ranks among the top hundreds of members, plays an important role.
Its main influence is not the Cote d'Azur company. The market share of its mobile devices is still not high. The right to speak is relatively weak. It is mainly the Blue Star Technology Group. Its global influence is self-evident.
...
October.
After the small holiday, Luo Sheng came to work on the Cote d'Azur today to deal with some of the backlog.
"Come in."
Luo Sheng heard the knock and looked up. It was Qin Weimu who came in, his eyes watching Luo Sheng as he walked and said, "Our funds have completely exited the market. We have a lot of money. Our investment in the Paulson Fund and the Succession Fund has all been remitted to our account yesterday. "
"The winter is coming ..." Luo Sheng said without looking up. "What is the situation in the international financial market now?"
A financial turmoil sweeping the world is approaching. No one can stay aside and naturally need to know a little. Qin Weimu has been paying attention to and analyzing this aspect.
"In the last two months of August and September, the seedling banks of various countries have been frantically saving the market. Most of the world's stock indexes have fallen across the board. Only technology stocks are still moving uphill."
Hearing that Luo Sheng put down his work and leaned back to the chair, he sighed and said, "The technology stocks will not be able to stand for long.
Qin Weimu handed him a piece of information: "This is some of the major events in the international financial market around the last two months that I have organized."
Luo Sheng took it to open the general list.
From July 10, 2007, the same day Standard & Poor's downgraded the rating on subprime mortgage bonds, and the global financial market immediately fluctuated.
By the beginning of October, the avalanche trend appeared in these two months, and then France's largest bank announced its involvement in US subordinated debt, metal crude oil futures and spot gold prices plummeted.
In early August, the subprime mortgage crisis in North America spread outwards, and the European Yangxing Bank intervened to launch a rescue operation.
The Yangtze Banks around the world injected more than 326.2 billion US dollars to save the market within 4 hours, and the Federal Reserve injected 38 billion US dollars three times a day to stabilize the stock market.
A few days later, dozens of physical enterprises such as Wal-Mart and Home Depot suffered huge losses due to the subprime mortgage crisis. On the same day, the three major seedling banks in Europe and the United States once again injected more than $ 72 billion to save the market.
By mid-August, the subprime mortgage crisis had further worsened, and the Asia-Pacific stock market suffered its worst decline since 9/11. The Fed lowered the window discount rate to 5.75%, and said that the bank would inject 1 trillion yuan into the bank, and plans to increase it in Europe Market rescue efforts.
Since then, the Bank of Japan has once again injected 800 billion yuan into the banking system, and the RBA has injected A $ 3.57 billion into the financial system.
In late August, the Federal Reserve injected another US $ 3.75 billion into the financial system, Europe added an additional 40 billion euros in refinancing operations, and Ying Yang Bank loaned 314 million pounds to commercial banks to deal with the crisis, and the Federal Reserve immediately followed the next four days. Injected USD 7 billion, USD 9.5 billion, USD 5.25 billion and USD 10 billion respectively.
By mid-September, the Fed cut its federal funds rate to 4.75%.
In October, the Federal Reserve is still trying to save the economy that has continued to collapse. The North American Treasury Secretary helped major financial institutions to set up a $ 100 billion super fund to buy troubled mortgage securities.
...
At the end, Luo Sheng closed the statistics, and involuntarily tilted Erlang's legs, turned to look at Qin Weimu and asked, "How much did we earn?"
Qin Weimu: "The current book fund pool of offshore funds is US $ 45.818 billion. The total return on this investment is locked at 639%. The disposable wealth you have now exceeds Bill Gates."
Wen Yan Luo Sheng closed his eyes and took a deep breath ~ EbookFREE.me ~ After a moment, he opened his eyes and couldn't help but whispered and whispered: "Mad, starting a business in 2003, working hard The profit made after three or four years of struggle is less than one tenth of this investment. "
According to Luo Sheng's current shareholding in Bluestar Technology, excluding the share price premium, only the share of net profit, which is more than 3 billion US dollars, is equivalent to about 8% of his gains on the North American housing market.
Even if it is 8%, that is an astronomical figure. 99.99% of all human beings cannot achieve such an achievement.
Obviously, this can also prove from the side how profitable the short-selling North American housing market is.
However, this money is still not enough to create a "spare tire plan". Once the "spare tire plan" is fully rolled out, it will burn seven or eight billion dollars a year, or even tens of billions of dollars.
This more than 40 billion US dollars will be able to burn for about four or five years, and embark on a road of self-reliance on the basis of nothing. Finally, it must catch up and surpass, which is definitely a hell-level difficulty.
