Chapter 648: Robbery while the fire is on
Re-established the team's tactical thinking, but Tottenham Hotspur has no way to adjust its direction immediately, because the current Tottenham Hotspur is obviously different from the Tottenham Hotspur when Ye Qiu first took over.
At that time, Tottenham Hotspur could almost be said to be poor and white, Ye Qiu could directly overturn it and rebuild it, but now Tottenham Hotspur can't, because there are many top stars in the team, as well as a huge business system, and the fans' requirements for the team are getting higher and higher, so all this requires Ye Qiu not to be in a hurry.
But whether it is Theorebold or White Hart Lane Stadium, the staff of the two offices have already begun to prepare for the future according to Ye Qiu's ideas, especially in the upcoming summer transfer market, they have begun to actively prepare.
After a week's rest, Tottenham Hotspur ushered in the 29th round of the Premier League, away to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
This time Tottenham Hotspur finally had a convincing game, beating Wolves 3-0 away, but Phil? Jones didn't play, Ye Qiu arranged for Beckham to start, and formed a midfield with Cesc Fabregas and Coutinho.
And in this game, Beckham also conscientiously fulfilled the responsibility of a midfielder, that is, the position.
Many people look at the back and look at the other aspect of the data, that is, tackles, they tend to think that the defensive midfielder who tackles well is a good player, but they forget one thing, tackles, especially tackles on the ground, actually have two sides.
Normally, a player will only make a tackle when he loses his best and most reasonable defensive position, of course, the reason for the player to lose his best defensive position is not necessarily the player himself, it may be caused by the surrounding environment and teammates, or even the team's tactics.
So, theoretically, if a player is always in the best and most reasonable defensive position and makes the most effective defense, he does not need to tackle, but should be an interception or a steal when defending head-on.
Even many people misunderstand the importance of the midfielder, this position is important not because there is a player who is very good at defending and has a strong tackling ability, no, but because there is a player here to cut off the opponent's passing and coordination line.
Note that there is a player, anyone, if you have the ability and awareness to cut off the opponent's passing and link-up routes, then you can be a qualified defender at the edge of the penalty area.
Because the front of the big penalty area is often the key area where the opponent's long-range shot or the last pass is the most.
Therefore, on the surface, Beckham's physical fitness has declined, his physical fitness has declined, and his fighting ability has also declined greatly, and it seems that he can't take on this heavy responsibility, but he has performed well after he came on the field, at least he has protected his penalty area very well.
Phil? Jones is better than Beckham in everything, but he just doesn't protect well, and that's because of that!
But Beckham can't play every game, and even at his current age, it is difficult to play such high-intensity games continuously, so Ye Qiu is also very careful about his use.
After defeating Wolves, Tottenham Hotspur remained unbeaten in all 29 rounds of the Premier League this season, and the unbeaten record was added to 41 games.
With 29 games, 25 wins and 4 draws, Tottenham Hotspur has 79 points, ahead of Manchester United, who is currently in second place in the league, with 60 points, and with a 19-point lead, it can almost be said that the Premier League title has been won, unless the remaining nine rounds of the league Tottenham Hotspur have a big collapse.
But this possibility is almost impossible, because everyone knows that with the current Tottenham Hotspur squad, no matter who is missing, they can still be invincible in the Premier League, even in the Champions League, they are still very competitive.
After the 29th round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur ushered in the second leg of the Champions League last-16 knockout round.
This time, Ye Qiu made a very interesting adjustment to the midfield, and discharged David? Silva, Ramsey and Phil? Jones's combination, but what's interesting is that the three midfielders take an irregular deep stance, and David? Silva up front, Phil? Jones was running all over the pitch and Ramsey was behind the pack.
From a tactical point of view, a bit like Carlo Ancelotti's tactics when he was at AC Milan, David? Silva is Seedorf, Phil? Jones is Gattuso, Ramsey is Pirlo, and Kaka looked more like an attacker at the time, so whether it was Hazzard or Messi, he could play part of Kaka's duties.
This adjustment is also a last resort, Phil? Jones likes to run around, like Gattuso back then, so Ye Qiu simply used this tactic directly to release his energy in this aspect, and then through David? Silva and Aaron Ramsey came to play the role of a link between the two sides in midfield.
I have to say that in this game, Tottenham Hotspur almost overwhelmingly suppressed Roma at home. Jones's-stirring stick has once again made a mess of Rome, and David? Silva also played well in the game, with Messi and Cavani scoring a goal each in front of him, and beat Roma 3-0 at home.
As a result, Tottenham Hotspur eliminated Roma from the Champions League with an aggregate score of 7:2, and they successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.
After Tottenham Hotspur reached the quarterfinals, the other seven teams that reached the quarterfinals have also been released, and the Premier League still has three teams in the quarterfinals this time, namely Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Manchester United, and another team in the round of 16 Arsenal was defeated by Barcelona in the knockout round.
After the round of 16 knockout round, the next day UEFA drew the Champions League quarter-finals, this time Tottenham Hotspur drew the old rival Manchester United to stage a Premier League derby, and Tottenham Hotspur were in the same zone as Barcelona and Shakhtar Donetsk.
It should be said that Barcelona have had better luck than Tottenham Hotspur, while Chelsea, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and AC Milan have been placed in the same zone, and it looks like there are signs that Serie A and La Liga are besieging the Premier League.
After playing the Champions League in midweek, Tottenham Hotspur travelled north to Manchester to play an FA Cup game against Manchester United.
Manchester United did not play the main force in this game, because many of their players played in the Premier League and the Champions League in a row, so Ferguson arranged rotation in this battle, and Ye Qiu arranged a lot of substitutes in the second leg of the Champions League, so the rotation effect was more ideal, and the away team defeated Manchester United 2:0 with goals from Cavani and Cesc Fabregas.
And the opponent in the FA Cup semi-finals is still from Manchester, Mancini's Manchester City team!
On March 19, in the thirtieth round of the English Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Ranieri's West Ham United 1:0 at home with Messi's goal.
After this game, Tottenham Hotspur's nineteen-point lead made the Premier League almost lose suspense in advance, or it should be said that the other teams are only left with the theoretical possibility of winning the championship, because Tottenham Hotspur only need to win two more games to declare an early title.
After 30 rounds, the Premier League was suspended, and the European Cup qualifiers began, Ye Qiu was in Theobald every day, with members of the coaching staff and Bobby? The likes of Harms are discussing how to further improve the team's tactical shifts and changes, as well as discussing the team's summer transfer operations.
In the fifth round of the European Cup qualifiers, that is, the day before the start of the game on March 30, Ye Qiu received a phone call from Finland in Theobold. Ollila personally called Ye Qiu.
"Can we meet and talk?" John? O'Lellah asked on the phone, with a somewhat tragic tone of a loser.
"Yes!" Ye Qiu nodded and agreed, "I'm going to Estonia tomorrow, but I can go to Helsinki first!" ”
Ye Qiu's original plan was to go to Estonia to watch their match against Italy, and Tallinn and Helsinki are separated by the Baltic Sea, a very close distance, so he can go to Helsinki to meet John first? Ollila, then go to the capital of Estonia.

There is a saying that is quite true, an emaciated camel is bigger than a horse.
Don't look at Nokia now seems to be very embarrassed, the financial statements are miserable, the stock price is also declining continuously, the market value is shrinking rapidly, and the huge empire of the past seems to be faintly collapsing, but these are the views of laymen, in the eyes of people who understand the whole set of operation models, Nokia is still a long way from bankruptcy.
The reason is simple, Nokia has a lot of valuable assets in its hands.
For example, Nokia's core assets are mobile phone business and patents, as well as Nokia Siemens Networks, Nokia Maps business, and ...... In short, there are still a lot of assets to support this company.
At the very least, the Nokia headquarters park on the outskirts of Helsinki currently has the idea of being sold to the public, and the price is not very high, and Leaf Technology has been in contact with Nokia, and it is very promising to win this office park with four office buildings and an office area of 48,000 square meters, which will become the Nordic headquarters and data center of Leaf Technology.
It should be said that in the past Nokia layoffs, Ye Technology has tasted the sweetness, and almost all the most high-end talents have been absorbed by Ye Technology, especially some top software and hardware technical talents, which is also a way for Ye Technology to further improve its talent system, and it does not need to be poached with heavy money.
Nokia has no way to do anything about this kind of move, who will make them want to lay off employees?
Ye Qiu and John? Ollila did not meet in Helsinki, but for the sake of secrecy, they met about thirty kilometers west of Helsinki in a small town called Botvik, where Nokia has a building.
In fact, if Nokia were willing to sell off their assets in Finland and across Europe, they could still continue to support the vast empire, but it would be more of a survival and the lower the market value would become.
John? O'Lella used to be an executive at Citibank, so he himself knows this.
This time there was only him on Ye Qiu's side, Mauro who wanted to accompany him to Estonia to watch the game? Tasotti simply did not understand and did not attend the talks, and John? Ollila is pulling Nokia Chairman Risto? Together, Sylas Ma formed a closed-door meeting between the three of them.
Obviously, this will not be a negotiation with the most difficult outcome, but more of an intentional negotiation.
"Congratulations, Mr. Ollilah, on your successful acquisition of Nokia Siemens Networks!" Ye Qiu smiled and congratulated as soon as they met, this is indeed a gratifying news, because the world's well-known network communication equipment and solution providers finally belong to Nokia.
Although Nokia Siemens lags behind Ericsson and China's Huawei in market share, and in the past period of time, it has been challenged and swallowed up by emerging competitors such as Huawei and ZTE from China in the global market, which has forced Nokia Siemens to adjust and lay off employees, but it has survived and is now back to profitability.
To this end, Nokia paid 1.7 billion euros to acquire 50% of Siemens' shares, of which 1.2 billion yuan is in cash, and the rest is paid through secured loans, but in this way, Nokia's cash flow of about 4 billion euros is relatively abundant, and now there are only more than 2 billion euros left.
At first glance, this amount of money is a lot, for ordinary people, don't expect to earn this lot of money in a lifetime, but you must know that Nokia has a big business, there are so many industries and employees in the world, and the cash flow of more than 4 billion can only be regarded as improvised, and now there are more than 2 billion left, which can almost be said to be tight.
And you must know that a very important reason why all companies go bankrupt is that the cash flow is broken!
There is no doubt that acquisitions are a good thing, but the bad thing is that there are cash flow problems.
When Eliza? When Moon told Ye Qiu the news last night, Ye Qiu already knew about John? The purpose of Ollila's meeting with him was that he decided to sell his assets in exchange for a huge cash flow, otherwise Nokia's current decline would not be long before it fell into bankruptcy.
Obviously, because of the changes brought about by Ye Qiu, Nokia's decline is intensifying, at least faster than in the previous life.
"I believe that Mr. Ye Qiu is also a busy man, and I have also heard that you have always liked to be direct, so I won't say much!" John? As soon as Ollila met, he sat down without saying a few polite words, and went straight to the point, "We do have the idea of selling some assets, but we feel that the price offered by Leaf Technology is too low, and the payment method is also problematic!" ”
After Ye Qiu listened, he nodded, "Please come and hear it!" ”
"According to our ideas, we intend to sell the mobile phone business, but we do not plan to sell the map and the patent and technology R&D department for the time being, as for the price, it definitely cannot be calculated according to the current stock price, and we ask for a higher offer!"
"Reasonable!" Ye Qiu nodded, "But what I want to say is that without patents and maps, I'm not interested in Nokia's mobile phone business!" And he said it very simply, and that's where all the negotiations have been stuck in the past.
Nokia's business has four main parts, mobile phones and part of the electronic equipment business, which is what Nokia calls the mobile phone business, the map business, the network communication equipment business, and the patent and scientific research advanced technology department.
In the previous life, many people said that Microsoft made a lot of money, and used more than 5 billion euros to acquire Nokia and also got the right to use patents, and people who would say this are stupid, because Microsoft lost a lot of money, he just got a mobile phone business, and the other three pieces were not in hand at all, so this is where Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia is cheaper than Google's acquisition of Motorola.
That's what led Ballmer and Bill? Gates fell out and stepped down in the last place.
Of course, from Microsoft's point of view, they lack hardware skills, and the price of acquiring Nokia is even a little higher.
Ye Qiu's idea is not only the mobile phone, he wants mobile phones, maps, patents and R&D technology departments, so that after Nokia is acquired, there will only be one network communication equipment business, that is, Nokia Siemens' business.
The reason why Leaf Technology has a resolute attitude, one is because the map business is the weakness of Leaf Technology, and it is also one of the key points of this acquisition, and the other key point is patents, the mobile phone business for Leaf Technology, is purely a buy two get one free, to talk about mobile phones and electronic equipment, Leaf Technology may not lose to Nokia now, but also spend money to acquire?
Nokia's abacus is fine, the loss-making things are sold, and the valuable things are left, but is Leaf Technology so stupid?
Ye Technology is not like Microsoft now, there is no shortage of hardware skills!
"Mr. Ollilah!" Ye Qiu saw that his resolute words made the scene a little embarrassed, and the three of them were silent, so he took the initiative to break the deadlock, "I hope you can understand our sincerity, I will be sitting here is the most powerful proof in itself, and we will also show sincerity in terms of price, but unless you package and bundle the map, patent and mobile phone business, otherwise, I think this deal will not be possible!" ”
John? Ollila and Schillasma glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's helplessness, they were indeed very short of cash, because the current cash flow was too dangerous for them, and one carelessness could lead to bankruptcy, but if it was really sold as Ye Qiu said, then Nokia would only be an empty shell.
Because in terms of network communication equipment, they are not leading at all, but lagging behind Ericsson and Huawei by a large margin.
But the problem is that with the deal to acquire Nokia Siemens, by the time the financial statements are announced, Nokia's share price will fall sharply, even to an embarrassing point.
In the last round of decline, many of them, including Ollila and Silasma, bought a lot of Nokia shares and increased their holdings, so no matter from which point of view, they don't want to continue to fall like this, or even go bankrupt.
Ye Qiu and Ye Zi Technology are because of such confidence, knowing that you are short of cash, and I have nothing, the most cash, and now I am the only one who can propose an acquisition in a short period of time and promise a cash transaction, so if you want to sell, you can sell, and if you don't sell, you will pull down.
If you sell it early, the price can be discussed, even if you suffer a loss, it doesn't matter, after all, you have to beware of Microsoft, who sees the situation clearly, comes out to stir up the situation, Ballmer has always wanted to develop Microsoft's hardware technology, so it's better to finalize it quickly, but if it is sold late, the price is not easy to discuss, and Ye Technology may not have that kind of interest to slowly entangle on it.
Time, for Nokia, is not good!
Ye Qiu's meaning of taking advantage of the fire to rob, John? Both Ollila and Schillasma felt that they had a lot of money.
However, although Ye Qiu said that the price would reflect sincerity, John? Of course, Ollila won't take it seriously, because he guessed that Ye Qiu was only in charge of the overall situation, and Eliza, who was specifically negotiating the acquisition? Moon will definitely do everything possible to lower the price.
That woman is extremely beautiful, but at the negotiating table, she is very vicious!
