2015, believe that Google in the enterprise and education market will start to profit.

Although this year's capital markets are disappointed with Google, the trend is that Google is still the white Horse of the Giants.

Heavy hardware Fire Phone to a bad beginning, resulting in large write-downs. Ali and other China's listed companies have caused a certain amount of pressure. From a business perspective, Amazon's E-commerce and cloud computing has expanded globally, and an hour of delivery and takeaway delivery in the US has secured its place. The challenge for Amazon's technology companies is small, and the company is just grabbing more of the traditional retail sector. Amazon will continue its strategy of big investment in 2015 and continue to strengthen its fresh and delivered goods.

Samsung

Samsung was the worst-performing technology giant in 2014, with sales of Android phones falling, corporate profits almost halved, shares falling, and the company reorganizing its mobile phone division.

While the smartphone life cycle is not over, Samsung's market share will be further eroded by the rise of low-end handset makers, represented by Chinese manufacturers. Samsung's efforts in software and service operating platforms have failed, and there are no other growth points beyond the traditional supply chain and marketing advantages. Samsung's performance could fall further this year.

Facebook

Alibaba

Alibaba 2014 scenery listing, and a lot of mergers and acquisitions, into the medical, IT, film, games and other new industries. But the expansion of Ali's business appears to be somewhat dispersed, with its main business complementary and binding degree is low, 2015 may be difficult to see a big improvement.

Ali will continue to enjoy the growth dividend of the electricity industry in 2015, as China is gradually opening up private capital into the financial sector. Ali small micro-finance or will become the next growth point.

Jing Dong

Similar to Alibaba, Beijing-East 2014 also listed in the United States, and enjoyed the rapid growth of China's electric dealers dividend, become the largest electric power provider platform. With Haier and the United States and other home appliance companies and Beijing-east contract, Jingdong channel status will be more solid, and will be in 2015 channel sinking, C2B mode and smart home appliances and many other attempts.
