Volume 1 Chapter 539 People-oriented
The concept of the Internet of Things is not actually new, on the contrary, it can be said to be an old-fashioned thing
But in fact, it has not been until recent years, especially with the promotion and popularization of smart phones, that it has begun to fully enter the lives of ordinary people, especially when more and more services are associated with mobile phones, and all people have begun to have a newer and more comprehensive impression and concept of the Internet of Things.
What is the core of the Internet of Things?
Many people naturally think of the network, but in fact, the network is the foundation, and the sensor is the key
The so-called building of the Internet of Things in smart cities, the most critical core is to make those traditional, similar to garbage cans, traffic lights, bus stops, etc., even a high-rise building, these dead things can speak, and it is the sensors that let them speak.
It is difficult to say whether the concept of the Internet of Things has created the development of sensors, or until the emergence and development of sensors, which has made the realization of the Internet of Things possible, but everyone knows very well that sensors and sensor networks integrated with sensors are the two core foundations of the realization of the Internet of Things, and it is impossible to succeed without one of them.
Why did Zeus II mobile phones sell well and quickly caused other mobile phone manufacturers to follow suit?
It is because of the addition of light sensors and gyroscopes, both of which are one of the sensors, and in today's world, there are thousands of types of sensors, which have long been used in all walks of life and fields.
Yezi Technology has established a semiconductor research center in China, not only in cooperation with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but also with many well-known universities and research institutions in China, such as Xiamen University, Peking University, Fudan University, etc., to fund them to invest in research and development in this area.
Not only that, Yezi Technology itself has also acquired a number of semiconductor companies in China and the United States, and has been continuously investing in research and development, and there are many products that are applied to tablet computers, and Yezi Technology will continue to invest in semiconductor research, because the future prospects of this market are too big.
With Ye Qiu's idea, for the time being, backed by Ye Technology, vigorously support semiconductor research and development, and when the company has formed enough technology and products in semiconductors, it will be separated separately to form a subsidiary of the company, just like Samsung Group separated Samsung Electronics.
Not only that, at present, Yezi Technology is also preparing to gradually separate the company's business to form an independent subsidiary, which will be the first major change in the company's structure since the establishment of Yezi Technology, Eliza Moon believes that only through this separation can the company's business be further revitalized.
As for the semiconductor business, Ye Qiu hopes to have the entire industrial chain, from design, manufacturing, packaging to sales, and become a one-stop vertically integrated semiconductor company, just like Intel, Texas Instruments or Infineon.
It's not that Ye Qiu is too ambitious and wants to monopolize everything, but he has to do it, because Ye Zi Technology's business is too big now, and if he doesn't keep up with the technical research and development and product support, he will still suffer a big loss sooner or later.
It's like another very important business of Leaf Technology, smart cars.
Yezi itself is not familiar with the automotive industry, so it has recruited a lot of experts in this field, and has cooperated with a number of car manufacturers, including General Motors, Ford, BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen, etc., to provide professional support, while Yezi Technology develops intelligent solutions.
At present, Yezi Technology has a general achievement, and automobile manufacturers have also seen prospects from it, which are very important in two aspects, one is the positioning, safety and convenience of Yezi Technology for smart cars.
Science and technology is always a double-edged sword, there is a good side, but there will also be risks and crises, so the most important thing in science and technology is not to blindly pursue advanced, but to ensure safety and reliability in the pursuit of more convenient, to bring convenience to people.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Ye Technology's positioning of smart cars is safe and convenient, and people, cars, and lives are organically combined, rather than simply bringing the mobile Internet into the car, so what is innovative?
So, the second aspect, may I ask, what is the most convenient way to operate in the car?
Mouse? Touch? Keyboard? Wrong, it's voice
Therefore, Ye Technology acquired Nuau, which is the industry's largest company specializing in the development and sales of speech recognition software, image processing software, etc., and the speech recognition on the RU of the whole world comes from their technology.
Voice is a way of control,You use it on a mobile phone,Use it on a tablet,It looks a bit chicken,Even in Ye Qiu's previous life, there were TV manufacturers who used voice to control TV,My God,How boring does this have to be to talk to TV,And if you sit in the living room,There are guests at home,Do you use voice to control TV? Or, reach out and gesture in mid-air?
Different control methods have an environment suitable for him to play, such as voice recognition, which has to be when your hands cannot be liberated, such as when you are driving, so Ye Technology will make great efforts to acquire Nuau company, in order to improve the important control means of smart cars.
Of course, this is not to say that speech recognition can only be applied to cars, but that applications in cars will reflect advantages, and Yezi Technology is also developing some voice applications, and also intends to open up some technologies to attract developers to enter, but at present, there are still some problems with speech, such as semantic recognition, it is easy to hear clearly, but it is difficult to understand.
In the intelligent car system, sensors are also a very important means, including tire pressure monitoring, braking system assistance, airbag system and other safety measures, in addition to automatic parking, driving safety, power control, fuel consumption assistance and other driving assistance systems, as well as to help car owners collect maintenance, safety and other aspects of information, of course, the most inevitable is some entertainment services.
From the perspective of this series of services, sensors are a vital link, without sensors, these functions and services are impossible to achieve, so Ye Technology sees the future of the semiconductor industry very clearly, and Ye Qiu also invests a lot of money in R&D and acquisitions every year, in order to ensure that Ye Technology maintains progress in the semiconductor field.
In the intelligent ecosystem outlined by Ye Technology, smart phones and tablets are necessary to carry around, at present, Ye Technology is a leading enterprise in this regard, and it also has a fairly large patent base in its hands, and the next thing to do is to keep making progress and maintaining a leading position.
Portable devices, such as smart watches, smart glasses, smart cameras, these can only be regarded as auxiliary equipment, in Ye Qiu's previous life, many companies just thought these were too complicated, they had to make watches and glasses the same as mobile phones, with a lot of functions such as text messages and photography, why bother? Don't people with watches bring their phones?
If you do, then there is a photo and SMS function on the mobile phone, what kind of watch do you have to have? Is it more convenient to face the screen of the watch than to the screen of the phone? Or does someone think that texting into the watch screen is very high-tech?
As Ye Qiu said in a meeting with the management and R&D personnel of Ye Technology, science and technology always have to be people-oriented, and it will always have only one theme, which is to bring convenience to people, rather than making trouble for people
Similar to smart cars, smart TVs, smart homes and smart cities, these are all part of the entire smart ecosystem, large or small, or social or individual, and they all have their own different characteristics, and you must develop smart services and devices that adapt to them according to their characteristics.
It's like smart TV,Ye technology even now,It hasn't found an effective user experience,Whether it's with voice、Gesture control,Or with remote mouse touch,It's obviously impossible to achieve real innovation,Because in the final analysis,It still can't get rid of traditional TV control and user experience,If it can't be convenient,Smart TV will not be popular?
At present, Leaf Technology has UTU and Android Store,These two major content provision platforms,There is no problem at all in terms of content,Mainly in terms of user experience,Leaf Technology cannot be solved for the time being,And if the user experience cannot be solved,That is to say,The most suitable control method has not been found,Smart TV system will not be able to start。
Chen Zhong was really persuaded by Ye Qiu's lofty prospects, at least he knew very clearly that the central government was very concerned about and supported this kind of attempt in Xiamen, and once it succeeded, it was bound to be further promoted.
And around the planning of the entire smart city, the demand for supporting services is very large, if Huangtian Group can further cooperate with Ye Technology, it will inevitably seize the opportunity before all competitors.
In the next two days, Ye Qiu took Chen Zhong to Ye Technology's semiconductor R&D center in Xiang'an District, Xiamen, and Ye Technology's Chinese headquarters, where he showed Chen Zhong the concept of Ye Technology's smart home, including many concepts and ideas that Chen Zhong may not even hear outside.
Chen Zhong benefited a lot from this trip, but he was also a person who had seen the world, and he was full of amazement at first, but soon, he realized a big problem, that is, such a complex intelligent ecosystem, although it can bring great convenience to users and an excellent experience, how to ensure security?
For example, the smartphone payment displayed in Ye Technology, or even the door locks of cars and homes will be intelligently controlled in the future, but if they are hacked, won't it cause huge losses?
In this regard, Ye Qiu said that Ye Technology has long had the means to deal with it.
In fact, five days later, he received a call from Eliza Moon in the United States.
While Ye Qiuyuan was on vacation in China, the transfer market in European football was also in full swing
Manchester United took the first shot at the takeover, and at the end of the season, Manchester United were the first to announce that the Red Devils snatched French talented striker Karim Benzema from Ligue 1 giants Lyon and from a number of big clubs, including Real Madrid, for 35 million euros.
The talented French striker is widely regarded in Europe as having the potential to become one of the world's top strikers in the future, and many people feel that he resembles Ronaldo in addition to his speed and explosiveness, and Ferguson announced the introduction of Benzema, but also said that Benzema will be a vital member of the team's forward line.
Benzema's arrival is also seen by many as a signal that Manchester United want to sell Cristiano Ronaldo, and the most likely place for the Portuguese superstar to go is undoubtedly Real Madrid, where Florentino came to power, which is no secret in the inner circle of football, but no one will say it to the public.
In addition to Benzema, Ferguson also announced that England rookie Rooney was poached from Chelsea, but the specific transfer amount was not announced, but it was revealed that Rooney's transfer fee may reach 50 million euros, on the one hand, Rooney's refusal to renew his contract with Chelsea, and on the other hand, Chelsea is dissatisfied with Rooney's frequent bombardments in the past.
It was also seen as a sign that Pini Zahavi was rebuilding Chelsea, and the Israeli agent said that Rooney's departure would not affect Chelsea's competitiveness, but there were many media outlets who believed that the Israeli was bluffing, and that Chelsea could only rely on selling people to support the team's recruitment after Abramovich made it clear that he would not continue to add to the club's transfer fee.
At present, the most scarce position in Chelsea is goalkeepers, and it is difficult to find good goalkeepers in today's football, not to mention the world's top Juventus goalkeeper Buffon, Tottenham Hotspur Cech, and Real Madrid's Casillas, even Liverpool's Reina, Barcelona's Valdes and other goalkeepers are also difficult to poach.
According to Peter Kenyon, Chelsea's targets include Lyon's Hugo Lloris, Ajax's Stekelenberg, CSKA Moscow's Igor Akinfeev and Inter Milan's Julio Cesar, although this one has made it clear that it is not for sale.
Good goalkeepers are scarce in today's European football, Arsenal, Chelsea, AC Milan, Bayern Munich and other teams are looking for goalkeepers, and even Barcelona has not given up the pursuit of goalkeepers, and Manchester United is also hoping to find a goalkeeper to take Van der Sar's version, so the goalkeeper position has become more and more hot.
For Tottenham Hotspur's Cech, don't even think about digging, let's not talk about digging or not, even if Tottenham Hotspur is willing to sell, how much can you give to buy it? Without a sky-high price of tens of millions, don't expect Ye Qiu to open his mouth at all.
Because of this, Chelsea have been looking for a goalkeeper almost every year over the years, but have never found a suitable candidate, and many people even suspect that if Chelsea continue to operate in the same way this season, the goalkeeper will still be out of action.
The biggest buyers in the Premier League transfer market are undoubtedly Manchester City, with Everton's Lescott, Barcelona's Silvinho, Arsenal's Kolo Toure and Adebayor, Blackburn's Santa Cruz and Aston Villa's Gareth Barry
Many people have to be surprised to see that Manchester City wants to poach almost all the teams in the entire Premier League, and after spending more than 100 million euros, they still have one of the most important additions that have not been announced, that is, the long-rumored news that Tottenham's Messi transferred to Manchester City for 150 million euros.
For this transfer, everyone is already clear, just like Cristiano Ronaldo's decision to switch to Real Madrid, everyone is not surprised, but the time to announce the transfer has not yet arrived, some people say that this is Tottenham Hotspur is worried about the impact of the North American trip, and some people say that this is Manchester City is preparing for Messi's joining.
There is also a big crocodile in the European transfer market, and that is La Liga giants Real Madrid.
Florentino's promise to take office is to buy the superstar that Real Madrid have missed in the last three years in a year's time, and to make up for the regrets of Real Madrid fans in the past three years.
This slogan immediately ignited the passion of Real Madrid fans, and all Real Madrid fans were extremely excited to wait for the superstar to join.
The first to come to the team was AC Milan's Kaka, the Brazilian superstar who rejected Manchester City half a year ago, and finally left AC Milan to join Real Madrid, which also confirmed everyone's suspicions half a year ago, that is, a very important reason why Kaka rejected Manchester City was that Florentino was determined to return to Real Madrid.
Meanwhile, Florentino personally called Peter Kenyon and Ye Qiu to inquire about the transfers of three players within Tottenham's spur squad, Franck Franck Franck Ribery, Cesc Fabregas and Thiago Silva.
The three players are an important part of Tottenham Hotspur's front, midfield and backfield three lines, after having decided to let go of Messi, Ye Qiu said that he refused to let go of Ribery, and Fabregas is also an important member of the team, Tottenham Hotspur made it clear that it will not be sold, and Fabregas himself is not willing to join Real Madrid.
As for Thiago Silva, Ye Qiu made it clear that Tottenham Hotspur's captain is not for sale.
Thiago Silva, who was the most consistent centre-back in the Premier League and even European football last season, if he is sold like this, will Tottenham's backline be in turmoil again?
Florentino is also the master of Yu crisp and neat, after clearly getting Ye Qiu's meaning, he did not dwell too much, after all, Yu net and neat is his consistent style, and probably considering the importance of Thiago Silva and Cesc Fabregas, and Ribery's performance after returning from injury is not very good, so Florentino did not dwell too much on the issue of these three players.
This is also the reason why other European teams like to do business with Florentino, he is very straightforward, if he likes your player, he will talk to you directly, and will not contact the player privately, he always believes that the sale and purchase transaction must be willing, and this kind of secret poaching method has always been a little different from his image of Real Madrid.
But the abandonment of Ribery and Cesc Fabregas didn't mean that Florentino wasn't interested in the others, as he began to turn his attention to the other two players and soon made a price price that Tottenham would be hard to refuse.
