A heavy and sturdy black Cadillac Escalade slowly drove towards the gate of Leaf Technology's Silicon Valley headquarters, and in the front windshield, the driver visibly raised his head and looked at the vivid green leaf sign on the top of the gate in front of him.

Leaves represent multiple meanings, such as green, low-carbon, energy-saving, and environmental protection, but at the same time, they also represent the boss behind it.

All private owners in the world are the same, they like to give their companies a name close to themselves, such as Rockefeller, or like Zeiss in Germany, and the boss of Ye Technology is surnamed Ye, which means leaf in Chinese.

"Hello" a majestic security guard in a crisp uniform walked over and motioned for the occupants to roll down the windows.

"Hello, I'm Larry Zzia, CEO of Aosen Technology, and this is our corporate vice president, Fred Jorgensen," the driver in the car politely introduced to the security guard.

In front of Ye Zi Technology, they seem to be insignificant, so even in the face of security, they are more or less polite, which is somewhat similar to what is said in Chinese, the Prime Minister Gatekeeper Seven Pinguan.

"Hello, Mr. Zzia, we have been notified, please come in, Building One" After hearing this, the security guard immediately made a way and opened the door at the same time, looking very polite and polite.

Escalade slowly raised the window and drove into the door of the Leaf Tech headquarters, and he vaguely saw in the rearview mirror that the security guard was informing the people in the office, apparently telling Eliza Moon that the guests were coming.

The scale of the factory is very large, and it is arranged like a garden, but it is not easy to get lost at all, because there are very clear signs on both sides of the road, which can clearly tell you where to go and how to go, so Zzia drove slowly, followed the signs, and soon came to the No. 1 office building.

To his surprise, as soon as he parked the car, he saw Shirley Sandberg, the chief operating officer of Leaf Technology, walk out of the door, obviously to welcome them, which made them feel a little flattered.

Shirley Sandberg is not an ordinary person, she has done things in the core departments of the government, and she has a lot of energy in the government, and the reason why some of Yezi Technology's acquisitions can go smoothly is Shirley Sandberg's lobbying, so at present, she is also the third most powerful person in Ye Technology except for the mysterious boss Ye Qiu and CEO Eliza Moon.

"Welcome to Leaf Tech," Shirley Sandberg smiled and held out his hand to Larry Zzia, who had gotten out of the car.

"Hello, nice to meet you, Ms. Sandberg" Larry Zzia was not at all careless about the strong woman, and his assistant Fred Jorgensen was quick to greet Sandberg.

"Oh, Cadillac Escalade," Sandberg was about to take them upstairs after a few polite words to them, but glanced at Zzia's car, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the first batch of cars to use the fingerprint lock that your Orson Technology provided to Delphi, right?" ”

"Do you know the way?" Larry Zzia was a little surprised.

Shirley Sandberg smiled, and instead of explaining what she was talking about, she beckoned them upstairs, much to the feeling that the two people behind her were being seen through, because the reason why Larry Zzia liked the car so much was because of what Sandberg said.

Delphi is one of the world's leading auto parts suppliers, and they used to be a subsidiary of General Motors, but they have since become a completely independent company, but they are still the largest suppliers of auto parts to General Motors, and Cadillac is a brand of cars owned by General Motors.

The two followed Sandberg all the way into the No. 1 office building, which is also the largest office building of Ye Technology, and then took the elevator directly to the third floor, and soon came to an office door.

"Please come in" Sandberg knocked on the door a few times, and a voice came from inside.

When they opened the door and entered, to the surprise of Larry Zzia and Fred Jorgenson, in addition to Eliza Moon, the CEO of Leaf Technology, who they had expected to meet, there was also a very familiar man, Ye Qiu, who flew from China to the United States to meet this side.

"Hello, welcome to Ye Technology" Ye Qiu stepped forward and stretched out his hand from afar.

"Hello, Mr. Ye Qiu, it's a great honor to meet you" Larry Zzia didn't lie.

A lot of people want to see Ye Qiu, whether he is an entrepreneur or the boss of a Silicon Valley company, because in the eyes of a considerable number of people, the shock of seeing Ye Qiu is as great as meeting Microsoft's Bill Gates, Apple's Steve Jobs, or Google's two founders.

"I know that you have recently developed a new fingerprint recognition sensor." Ye Qiu said straight to the point.

Larry Zzia had already talked to Eliza Moon and the heads of relevant departments of Leaf Technology before, and to be honest, sometimes he was thinking that with so many acquisitions of Leaf Technology in the past, whether in terms of amount or technology, Aosen Technology was obviously not in Ye Qiu's eyes.

After all, if you want to talk about the acquisition amount, Yezi Technology's acquisition of Nuau Company for voice recognition is a huge amount, costing more than $3 billion in total, which is the largest acquisition in the history of Yezi Technology.

For example, not long ago, Yezi Technology acquired a Quff office software company at a low price, which has been providing some Offt services similar to mobile phone versions in the past few years, which can be compatible with almost all office software versions on the market, and after the acquisition of Yezi Technology, it was directly announced that it was free and open

Many people feel that this is a big challenge to Microsoft, because one of Microsoft's core and most profitable businesses is Offt, and now there are even many people waiting to see how Microsoft will fight back.

Relatively speaking, Aosen Technology's business has always been very simple, that is, fingerprint recognition.

However, although the business is very single, but very specialized, they are currently the world's first in the field of fingerprint authentication sensors, and the business even entered the Chinese market in 05 years, and the business scope has already entered the fields of automobiles, mobile electronic devices, IHNL HP, Microsoft, Samsung and many other large companies are their direct or indirect customers.

But such a company, the total market value is only more than 100 million US dollars, which has little to do with the fingerprint recognition market, in the UR year, the entire fingerprint sensor market is only more than 300 million US dollars, even if it is 13 years, all the markets add up to only about 2 billion, which is still a very optimistic estimate.

"You're talking about AP71I, our latest product, which uses our core u-technology to strengthen the protective coating on the surface of the sensor, with a wear resistance of more than 100,000 times, a larger area for fingerprints, higher authentication sensitivity, and support for sliding authentication."

Larry Zzia couldn't help but introduce his company's latest and proudest product, confident enough to surpass all of its current competitors, including ST's Hp, the world's second-largest supplier of fingerprint sensors.

Seeing Ye Qiu nodding, he seemed to be encouraged, and continued: "This product uses the sensor of our self-developed TrprIutI fingerprint authentication technology, which can directly read the information of the dermal cell layer on the inside of the finger, while other fingerprint authentication techniques can only read surface information, so its authentication accuracy is higher, the recognition rate is more accurate and faster, and it is not easily affected by water droplets and dirt." ”

"More importantly, this fingerprint sensor with keen reconnaissance mode, its power consumption is less RR than all other fingerprint recognition sensors, and it has a certain self-learning function, the more fingerprints entered, the higher the recognition rate, and the faster the recognition speed."

Hearing this, after Ye Qiu heard this, he couldn't stop clapping his hands, the last one is the reason why Ye Technology decided to acquire Aosen Technology, this fingerprint recognition company is one thing for Ye Technology, but the technology is quite excellent, especially since they have their own core skills.

Although they have been making acquisitions almost every month in the past, and even sometimes two acquisitions a month, and there have been cases of failure, but each of their acquisitions is purposeful, not indiscriminate acquisitions.

Just like the fingerprint sensor of Aosen Technology, this can solve the security problem that Chen Zhong is worried about, and even it is not only used in mobile phones, tablets, computers, etc., but also can be used in smart homes, smart cars and other fields.

From the current point of view, Aosen Technology still needs further research and development to be able to develop a fingerprint sensor that meets the needs of Leaf Technology, but there is no doubt that this step is not far away, and even with the support and promotion of Leaf Technology, it will be very likely to be achieved in a short period of time, and this will undoubtedly ensure the security performance of Zeus mobile phones and tablets, especially the much-worried mobile payment.

"I would like to say that we have applied for fingerprint authentication patents for mobile phones and tablets before, and we are currently working on how to apply fingerprint authentication to mobile terminals such as smartphones and tablets, and we are very interested in your company, and we hope to be able to acquire all of your businesses, technologies and patents, and more importantly, the entire team of engineers."

Ye Qiu listened patiently to Larry Zzia's explanation, because he respected every developer very much, so he waited until Zzia finished speaking before he said his intentions, and for this, Zzia and the two were not surprised.

That's why they appeared at the Leaf Tech headquarters.

"What I want to say is that our acquisition will not be satisfied with the status quo, we will continue to increase our efforts to help you further develop better and better products, but we will not conservatively take it for ourselves, we will undertake a series of commercial contracts signed by you before, and further promote your technology and products to the outside world, so that more people know and value it."

"What I can guarantee is that in the near future it will appear on Zeus phones and on our tablets"

Aosen technology itself has also encountered a lot of trouble, first of all, a very important reason is that the fingerprint authentication market is too small, but the competition is not small, if the Hp company still has a strong backing such as STMicroelectronics to support, do not need to worry about R & D funds, then Aosen technology must have this aspect of worry.

Even every time they develop a new product and develop a new technology, they must first show it to their big customers and obtain certain financial support, if the customer feels that the cost is too high, or the technology is not practical, then sorry, the research and development project must be terminated.

But if it can be acquired by Leaf Technology, it almost means that they will have a strong financial backing and continue to develop newer and more advanced products, after all, Leaf Technology's annual R&D investment of nearly 10 billion US dollars, even if only one percent of it is allocated to them, it is enough for them to develop for several years.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, we are very grateful for your affirmation of us, but you know that we have a lot of investors."

Without waiting for Larry Zzia to finish speaking, Ye Qiu smiled and nodded to stop him, and Eliza Moon on the side smiled confidently, "Don't worry, Mr. Zzia, we can handle it"

There are indeed many investors in Aosen Technology, including Texas Instruments, Carlisle Group, and Harris Corporation, but there is another name that I believe all Chinese will feel familiar when they see it, and that is the China Development Bank.

As far as Larry Zzia knows, many investors have given the green light to this acquisition, and Texas Instruments has semiconductor business dealings with Ye Technology, and other investors believe that they will not refuse the acquisition of Ye Technology, provided that they can make money.

In the eyes of Ye Technology, Aosen Technology, which currently has a market value of more than 100 million US dollars, no matter how much trouble it makes, how high can its value be? Compared with the current big business of Ye Technology, this acquisition is absolutely necessary, and in the long run, it will definitely be a good deal, after all, Aosen Technology itself is a money-making company.

At the very least, the future fingerprint authentication market is very huge, and Aosen Technology is a technical dragon in this regard

"I'm so tired"

Sending off Larry Zzia and Fred Jorgensen, Ye Qiu fell directly on the soft office chair, he didn't even have the jet lag back after flying to the United States, and now he is tired and tired.

"It's a good thing to be tired, it proves that you are still healthy" After Eliza sent Zizia away, she returned to Ye Qiu's office.

Ye Qiu squinted his eyes and smiled helplessly, "By the way, did the engineers go to the Theobald training base?" ”

Previously, Ye Qiu developed a new training equipment through Leaf Technology, which will be the first time to use it in football or even sports, if it succeeds, not only Tottenham Hotspur has taken a big advantage, I believe that Leaf Technology will also be able to make a fortune through this set of skills and equipment.

Not only that, if this device is successful, it will play a huge role in promoting the development of wearable smart devices by Ye Technology, which is why Ye Qiu attaches so much importance to it.

"Go, don't worry, it won't drag down your training camp for the new season" Eliza glared at him angrily.

After going out just now, when she came in, she had a few more documents in her hand, and now they were directly placed on Ye Qiu's desk.

"Since I'm here, I would like to let you know by the way, this is an acquisition and investment project proposed by the investment department."

Ye Qiu casually flipped through it, the first item is a company called uuar Xing, which is a company that specializes in developing a geolocation social networking service application for Zeus mobile phones, and one of their slogans is to make the city more convenient and easy to use, and this has also made them have been well received by users after they just launched the app.

The investment department of Leaf Technology believes that it is different from the existing services such as Twitter and WeChat, and uses a very vivid metaphor that the attraction of Twitter to users is, what are you doing now

And what this start-up company offers is, where are you now?

The investment department believes that this app has great prospects, for example, it can be built into a geo-located search engine, combining businesses around the city and their preferential activities and consumers, and it can also be combined with social apps such as Twitter and WeChat to form a complementary.

Considering that this transaction was only more than 10 million US dollars, Ye Qiu didn't think much about it, and just skipped it

To be honest, he is not good at things that are very professional, so his choice is to believe in professional people, and at least there is Eliza in checking, for this beautiful assistant, Ye Qiu is very trusting

For example, not long ago, the company acquired an application research and development company, which can provide a good optimization solution to slim down and optimize the Android system of Leaf Technology.

The current Android system is mainly divided into four levels, kernel, system, framework and application, of which the kernel and system are the core layer, even those mobile phone manufacturers authorized by Leaf Technology have no permission to modify, but they can modify the framework and application according to their own needs, and then achieve personalization.

Not only that, in order to attract more developers to participate in the development of mobile applications, Yezi Technology has also opened up to the outside world, which makes it easy for developers to develop a variety of applications for the Android system, while not worrying about a series of problems such as fragmentation of the system and slow operation caused by over-opening.

And Yezi itself also benefits from this openness, because the more developers develop for the Android system, it is equivalent to providing more ideas for Yezi Technology, and at the same time, it also allows Yezi Technology to continuously improve its products and services.

In addition to this acquisition, there were some other projects, Ye Qiu was not a professional, he just swept over, but one of them caught Ye Qiu's attention.

This is a new employee of Leaf Technology named Mike Buckward, based on an idea submitted by his doctoral dissertation, which is somewhat similar to somatosensory and gesture manipulation, but he thinks that this is not gesture manipulation, because gesture manipulation needs to be set in advance, and in his conception, this does not need to be pre-set, but directly and seamlessly.

"30 somatosensory controls?" Ye Qiu was really a little interested.

Eliza Moon smiled, there are countless ideas in Ye Technology every day, but what can be sent to her is definitely the best, "I think,This should be the best control mode for smart TV,Of course,It's just a concept"

After Ye Qiu listened, he took a closer look at it, and handed the document in his hand to Eliza Moon again, "You decide" After speaking, he stood up, looked very tired and tired, and walked towards the door.

"I'll go to the R&D department," Ye Qiu said casually.

Eliza nodded, "Remember to go home early that night"

"Yu?" Ye Qiu was a little puzzled, but the side of this little woman, especially the tone of the little daughter-in-law, was quite that.

"Don't you want to inspect the goods first?" Eliza said logically.

Ye Qiu didn't understand what was going on for a while, but he quickly thought of what he said when he was joking with Eliza before, and he didn't have a reason in his heart, he really wasn't prepared for this kind of thing of raising a lover outside

For a while, the girl was not embarrassed, but he was a little ashamed.

"You wash Yujing, wait for me at home" After speaking, Ye Qiufei also ran away.

I forgot who said that extramarital affairs are hell, hell from which it is difficult to get out of one wrong step

Really going to hell?

At the end of the door, Ye Qiu was still a little hesitant, because he thought of his family and children.

Seeing him like this, Eliza giggled in the office, this guy is okay in other aspects, but in this aspect, he is definitely a coward.

"Wash it, wash it, I'm afraid of you," this Nizi muttered to herself with a little expectation.
