Volume 1 Chapter 517 Ask for Support!
Ye Qiu's office at Theobald's training base is not small, as it looks like a separate suite.
What is open to the outside is the office area and hospitality area, and the innermost is the room for rest and sleeping, all of which are designed by Ye Qiu himself according to his own work and rest habits and hobbies, not very good, but very much in line with his own preferences.
But there is one thing he does like Ferguson, which is that they are both close to the training ground, with a huge floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall, so that on the one hand, he β₯can observe the training ground at any time and anywhere, and on the other hand, because he likes to think about things in front of the window and the scenery outside.
The sky in London is always so changeable, you can see the sun when you go out just now, but now it has become cloudy, just like life, unpredictable, and no one knows what will happen after the road.
When Huang Chu took his two children to the mall a few days ago, he bought four first-class massage chairs for the plane, and bought three at home, which were placed in the rooms of Ye Qiu's parents, Huang Chu's parents and the two of them, and one was placed in Ye Qiu's office as an office chair.
Now Ye Qiu is sitting on this first-class massage chair, turning around, half-lying, his head facing the computer LCD screen on the desk, facing the Theobald training base under the dark clouds outside, spinning Zeus II's mobile phone in his hand, thinking about the game against Middlesbrough tomorrow.
The continuous multi-front battle has had a huge impact on Tottenham Hotspur, and the League Cup final loss to Manchester United is indeed very wretched, especially in the penalty shootout, I really can't say anything, but this also fully reflects Tottenham Hotspur's current problems, the bench thickness is not strong enough.
So, in a way, losing the FA Cup, losing the League Cup, is not necessarily a bad thing for Tottenham.
But there are some things that Ye Qiu can't say to outsiders, but he is blunt with the coaching staff, the team's current problem is still that it is undefeated, especially for some young players in the team, being undefeated in a row is equivalent to piling stones on them, and every game has to be played with these stones, and the pressure can be imagined.
From this point of view, a loss is not necessarily a bad thing, but the question is, who can guarantee that Tottenham Hotspur will be able to recover quickly after a loss and continue to maintain their current form and momentum?
The future is full of unknowns, just like when Ye Qiu went out in the morning, he couldn't have imagined that the present would be cloudy after more than half an hour, so as the head coach of the team, all Ye Qiu could do was follow his feelings.
After losing the League Cup final, the most important thing for Tottenham Hotspur is this game against Middlesbrough, because if this game is not played well, the impact of the League Cup final will be greater, and even affect the team's championship.
Just when Ye Qiu was thinking about it, there was a vibration in the mobile phone, and after unlocking it, it turned out that Eliza Moon, who was far away in San Francisco, USA, updated her Weibo and P, the Weibo queen with the most fans in the world, was updating her Weibo almost every hour every day, sometimes posting a photo, or complaining a few words.
But today is a little special, she sent a photo, a photo of her facing the mirror, only half of her face can be seen, holding a tablet in her hand to take pictures, and this tablet looks smaller than the one that Ye Technology is selling now, and it is clear to tell everyone that this is the seven-inch NINI version rumored by the outside media.
This Nizi also wrote a sentence under the photo, "What do you see? β
Ye Qiu clicked on the phone screen to reply, "Wow, what a big crow's feet, it's terrifying" and then clicked send, and he was waiting for her reply with a mischievous smile.
"You damn unconscionable fellow, where did you get crow's feet?" This time it was no longer Weibo, but through the chat tool recently launched by Pk, it was obvious that she didn't want her private chat with Ye Qiu to be seen.
"Beautiful Miss Moon, according to the current time in San Francisco, it should be past midnight, and you are not going to rest?"
Soon, the other side replied: "Heh, you also know that it has been midnight, Mr. Ye Qiu, I just came back from outside, old lady."
"The company shouldn't have been very busy lately, right?"
"Bubble Boy"
immediately added, "I recently met a handsome guy, and I often go out together at night, and it's too early to come back now."
"Really? Congratulations, finally someone wants it."
"What else do you need to say?" Eliza is also accompanied by a playful cartoon emoji.
Ye Qiu thought for a while, and then sent: "If you have the ability to marry yourself, I will give you the most luxurious dowry in the whole world, and make you the happiest bride in the world, honestly"
After more than a minute, I don't know if it was a network delay or other reasons, before I received a reply, "Do you want me to get married soon?" Are you willing? β
This made Ye Qiu's heart move, but soon another one came, "If I get married, see who helps you watch the company"
"I hope you are happy," Ye Qiu replied.
This time, I waited for more than three minutes to receive a reply, "I am very happy now, you don't care" and then sent a black leather whip, if you stand in front of me, the old lady will give you now
"By the way, I'll show you this"
Soon, she sent three pictures, one is the Nhut version of the tablet that Ye Technology is about to launch, and the other two are laptops that Ye Qiu has explained before, and it is an ultrabook that combines many advantages such as touch tablets and transformable laptops.
In Ye Qiu's previous life, he had paid attention to Microsoft's RFA, and he felt that first of all, this concept was very good, and it was also the trend of the future, but Microsoft's problem was that they focused too much on P and had no experience with mobile at all, so they encountered a lot of problems in this aspect of development.
One of the two design drawings is plagiarized from Microsoft's RFA design in the previous life, and the other is Ye Technology's own design, both of which are written by Jonathan Ivey, and it has not yet been determined which scheme to use.
Looking at Microsoft's mobile devices, there is almost no success, and this is the reason.
At present, the software department of Leaf Technology has been listed in the research and development of ultrabooks as early as two years ago, when the project was developed and developed by tablets, the research and development of ultrabooks has been listed, and it is still stepping up research and development.
At present, the biggest difficulty lies in the transformation of the operating system, but unlike the previous life, Ye Qiu has considered cross-platform integration since the birth of Android, so the Android system has invested in research and development in this area from the beginning, so the Android system from mobile phones to tablets, and then to ultrabooks, the whole process can be said to be in the same vein
Of course, for the time being, it is very difficult, and it is almost impossible to transplant the Android system to P in a short period of time to compete directly with Microsoft, and it will definitely fail, so for the time being, Leaf Technology does not have the idea of promoting the Android notebook operating system on a large scale, just to create an innovative ultrabook
"Engineering machines?" Ye Qiu asked about the ultrabook, because the Nhut version of the tablet has been launched in the second half of the year, and Eliza is now releasing it, obviously to cooperate with the publicity and promotion.
"Well, there is no problem with the hardware, but there are a lot of problems with the software system, and they need to be constantly optimized and improved
"Okay" Ye Qiu replied with a smile, the stability of the software system and user experience are the key.
At present, the entire product line of Leaf Technology has been quite perfect, in terms of smartphones, Leaf Technology has almost dominated the entire mid-to-high-end field, and now it has launched a tablet and NhuI version, and then launched an ultrabook, which is a complete product chain of the entire mobile device.
Microsoft has now been taken aback by Leaf Technology, because they originally thought that Leaf Technology only made mobile phones, but with the promotion of the Android system, it has almost swept the entire smartphone system, especially in Leaf Technology's conscious relaxation of the threshold and the purpose of seizing the market, coupled with Microsoft's mobile phone system is not powerful, Apple's mobile phone has not been able to come out for a long time, plus Zeus mobile phones are selling better from generation to generation, it is almost invincible.
And once the Android system of Ye Technology enters the field of ultrabooks, and best-selling products such as Zeus mobile phones and tablets are launched in the field of laptops, it will inevitably have an impact on Microsoft's operating system in the future, because since the Android system is going to be transplanted to the field of notebooks, it is bound to further enter other P domains in the future, and the proudest foundation of the Microsoft empire will be in danger of being shaken.
Therefore, it is reported that Microsoft intends to launch a series of cooperation with Nokia, and also intends to strengthen the research and development of mobile phone operating systems, and strive to launch its own new generation of mobile phone operating systems in early 10, while Apple will also launch its own mobile phones with IO operating system, as well as tablet research and development projects delayed due to setbacks in mobile phone development.
On the contrary, Google has suffered the most from the rise of Leaf Technology, because it has lost its Android phone system, and they are currently working hard to build a mobile phone operating system of their own.
As Leaf Technology lowers the threshold of the Android system and seizes the market, coupled with the patent barriers, they want to compete with Leaf Technology, and the difficulty is really not ordinary, especially when Leaf Technology consciously avoids competition with Samsung, HTC and some domestic mobile phone manufacturers, making these manufacturers firmly tied to the chariot of Leaf Technology.
What's more, when Ye Qiu established Leaf Technology, he had already registered quite a lot of patents, such as the live tile interface of Microsoft and NR, as well as the flat icon design, etc., all of which were registered by Leaf Technology in advance, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of research and development of competitors.
"Our tablet sales have exceeded 3 million units, and it is expected that the sales volume in the first quarter will reach 4 million units, and the expected task of selling more than 10 million units for the whole year is very easy" In the chat tool, Eliza Moon happily reported the latest results to Ye Qiu.
With the hot sale of Zeus mobile phones and tablets, the profitability of Leaf Technology is quite amazing, the company has been accumulating the company's cash at a very fast pace, according to Eliza Moon's speculation, if the sales of tablets can exceed 10 million units this year, and the total sales of Zeus mobile phone series can exceed 50 million units, the company's cash flow will reach a surprising number, net profit will exceed 10 billion US dollars, and the total cash held will exceed 50 billion US dollars.
This is still the result of Ye Technology's successful acquisition of Nuau at the beginning of the year, and its full foray into the voice field, if you count the original Nortel network patents that have skyrocketed, as well as the technology and patents that Ye Technology currently has at hand, Ye Technology has become a veritable giant company.
This does not include some subsidiaries including Twitter, WeChat, Pk, etc., if you count them again, the total market value of Leaf Technology will be an astronomical amount.
"At present, many investors and the company's investment department feel that we should complete a large acquisition," Eliza said with a smile, after all, Ye Technology has come to this day, and she has the most credit.
"Oh?" Ye Qiu didn't say anything, but those who knew him knew that he was asking.
"You know, Intel's market value is about 100 billion, which is about the same as the market value of Samsung Electronics, they are the best semiconductor companies at present, if we win Intel, it will be of considerable help to our future layout of the P domain, and Intel has always had technical reserves in mobile devices."
"But this may lead to Samsung's abandonment," Ye Qiu replied worriedly.
Samsung is currently an important legion in the Android system of Leaf Technology, first of all, Samsung and HTC are the two brands with the highest sales volume in addition to Zeus mobile phones, and secondly, Samsung is also the largest semiconductor partner of Leaf Technology.
"It makes sense, now for us, the market is more important than anything else, first rule the market, lay a solid foundation, and then slowly expand" Eliza can be said to be thorough at all.
As the so-called shopping mall is like a battlefield, you are very smart, but your opponents are definitely not stupid, they will not watch you become extremely powerful, and then completely monopolize the entire market, because that is tantamount to chronic suicide, once you have completed the domination of the market, the next thing to do is to slowly eliminate potential opponents one by one.
So as soon as you show the slightest hint, they will switch to your competitors.
At least although Samsung now has a good relationship with Leaf Technology, in fact, they secretly have a leg with Nokia and Symbian, and even once Microsoft launches a new generation of mobile phone systems, Samsung and HTK will launch corresponding models, which is cultivating competitors for Leaf Technology.
If there is Intel, there must be AND, and if there are flowers, there must be green leaves, this is the law of nature, but also the law of the business world, if you are so ambitious that you want to swallow it all in one bite, then I'm sorry, it must be you who is swallowed
Therefore, after Ye Qiu became popular with the Android system, he did not move towards closure, but opened up in an orderly manner, because he knew very well that Apple's closed mode was difficult to play for a long time, but you can't be too open, because too much openness will lead to flooding and destroy the entire industrial chain.
It's like driving a horse-drawn carriage, and how to control the reins in your hand so that the horse can run fast and steady in the direction you want it to go, which requires a test of the driver's skills.
At least from the perspective of the entire environment and market now, the success of Leaf Technology is not to enrich its own family, including Samsung, HTC and some manufacturers in the industrial chain have benefited a lot, Samsung has relied on the launch of Android mobile phones, providing Leaf Technology semiconductor chips, and successfully made Samsung Electronics surpass the chip giant Intel, which is an example.
Mutual benefit and reciprocity, this is what Ye Qiu wants, and it is also the way for a company to operate for a long time.
Of course, there is a more important thing, how to continue to maintain innovation after the lead, continue to develop competitive products, this is the next challenge of Ye Technology, otherwise, with the current layout of mobile phones and tablets, at most ten years, ten years later, if Ye Technology no longer has competitive products, it will undoubtedly go to decline, because that is an inevitability.
It is also because of this that Ye Qiu has a wider layout, from ultrabooks to smart TVs to intelligent car control systems to cameras, watches, eyes, etc., and is also developing voice control technology, which will be a very important technology in the future, and Ye Technology has seized the forefront of the market after acquisition, and the key is that some problems need to be overcome.
"You remember to help me keep an eye on Motorola and Nokia, when they suffered, you remember to inform me, get ready to make a move" Ye Qiu sent this message.
This is what he and Eliza have long said, Motorola and Nokia are the two major patent giants in the field of mobile, once one more is given to Ye Technology, then Ye Technology will become a real giant, even if other companies rise in the future, it is difficult to compete with Ye Technology, which can make Ye Technology in the future, even if it fails to launch powerful products, at least it can continue the core competitiveness for 20 years.
At present, in terms of patents, Leaf Technology has cooperated with Nokia, but Motorola seems to be in a more troubled situation
"I found that we didn't seem to have much in common other than work."
After chatting about work, Eliza sent such a message full of embarrassment and helplessness, it can be imagined that she must be full of loss at this moment after chatting with Ye Qiu on the mobile phone for nearly an hour.
Is there really only work left between us?
This is not only Eliza's doubt, but also Ye Qiu's question.
"By the way, you just said that if I find a boyfriend, what do I want, you give it?" Eliza asked again.
"Of course" Ye Qiu replied without hesitation, but he couldn't help but ask himself in his heart, is this really the case?
"Achu once told me that she thanked me for helping you so much, and said that she would not let you treat me badly."
"Did she really say that? When? Ye Qiu's heart jumped, he knew that Huang Chu seemed to have given him such an illusion.
"That's when you came to San Francisco, so I've got to think about what I need.
"Then think about it, you can do anything," Ye Qiu replied casually, but his mind was obviously not on the conversation.
"And if I say I want you, will it be fine?"
This piece of information made Ye Qiu's hands tremble, and he almost didn't drop his phone on the desk.
"You didn't choke on boiling water, did you? I'm joking with you" Soon, another message came, apparently explaining the previous one.
"It's fine, but if you want me, it's better to be able to afford the price, I'm expensive"
"Hee-hee, how expensive? Make a price, the old lady has money now"
"Wow, I like rich women the most, beg for support"
Ye Qiu smiled, "Well, in addition to the price, I also have to look at the person, I have to inspect the goods a priori, for the sake of old friends, thirty years old can barely be considered, but if there is fat in the belly, or the figure is not good enough, I usually don't accept it."
"From today onwards, I insist on swimming every day to keep fit"
"Boy, if you want to inspect the goods, come to the United States alone, see how I clean you up"
"Wow, big sister, don't be too rude, you have to be gentle."
What came back was a bloody kitchen knife.
Half an hour later, in San Francisco, the United States, Eliza sat on the windowsill of the heated room, wearing a sexy shirt, in the moonlight, looking at the screen of her mobile phone and smirking, inside were text messages chatting with Ye Qiu, she looked at it over and over again, and she was hot all over.
She still didn't know where she got the courage to talk to him so nonsense just now, and now she felt very apprehensive when she thought about it, but since Huang Chu said that to her, she knew very well that if she didn't take the first step, with Ye Qiu's damn character, there would always be a sealed door between them.
Forgive me, Achu
I love Ye Qiu, and I love you no less than you
I swear I will never, never, destroy your family
I just want to love him well
