If you ask what was the hottest news in the high-tech field at the beginning of 2011, everyone will tell you that Ye Tech launched the strongest attack on the Microsoft empire.

First of all, on the ultrabook, Leaf Technology's ultrabook was finally listed, and in the early pre-sale, it achieved a hot pre-sale order of 100,000 units, once it was listed, it was a shot in the arm for the sluggish PC market, and the price of Leaf Technology's ultrabook is not cheap, from $999 to $1699 according to the configuration, which can be described as a luxury.

According to IDC, a well-known market research company, less than a month after the launch of the ultrabook by Ye Technology, it has sold 400,000 units in North America, and with the launch of Europe, Asia and other regions, the sales in the first quarter of 2011 will have the opportunity to exceed 1.5 million, which is absolutely rare good news for the PC market where sales continue to decline and slump.

According to IDC's comments, a very important reason for the hot sales of Leaf Technology's ultrabook is that it is a continuation of the madness made from mobile phones to tablets in the past, after all, Leaf Technology announced that this ultrabook with Android system can be shared and used through the Android store.

Another important aspect is that this ultrabook itself has a very attractive design, as well as a convenient control system, and strong computer performance, although the price is still high, but it continues the reputation and brand effect of Leaf Technology, so that users still highly recommend this product.

IDC analysts also said in an interview with the media that the birth of ultrabooks represents a divergence in the alliance between Microsoft and Intel, and with the hot sale of ultrabooks, the differences between Intel and Microsoft will become bigger and bigger.

"In the past, Intel and Microsoft could only rely on each other, but with the birth of tablet computers, the PC market of traditional notebooks and netbooks has been greatly impacted, and the decline in sales is very obvious.

"For a long time, the biggest difference between Microsoft and Yezi Technology, or the biggest difference between the two concepts, in terms of hardware, Microsoft has always insisted on OEM, that is, licensing, Microsoft itself almost never touches those hardware, but Yezi Technology insists on joint research and development of software and hardware, grasping both hands together, and software and hardware are developing very well."

"In terms of concept, Microsoft used to see laptops as a mobile extension of PCs, and naturally, after the rise of smartphones and tablets, Microsoft also saw these two markets as an extension of PCs, so what they were thinking about was how to shrink everything on computers to phones and tablets."

"The concept of leaf technology is obviously different, after the hot sale of smartphones, they have been brewing cross-border, they have always believed that smartphones are only a part of the smart ecosystem, and tablets are another part of the smart ecosystem, the same, now they are targeting the traditional PC market, so there is a two-in-one concept of ultrabook."

"And an important issue that must be clearly recognized by Microsoft's management is that in the past few years, Yezi Technology has a very clear goal, that is, from a user of content to a creator of content, and the entire Android system and intelligent ecosystem are developing and formulating goals around this link."

The well-known analyst of IDC also said that Microsoft has no very effective way to resist this attack of Leaf Technology, and the only thing they can do now is actually very little, that is, to improve and launch an innovative operating system as soon as possible, or a smart operating system for mobile phones, but whether it can resist the impact of Leaf Technology, this is still unknown.

It's not just an ultrabook,At the press conference in January,Leaf Technology also officially launched its own smart TV box,This is an Android system specially customized for TV,Smart TV box that can be used on any TV,The main control system has both traditional remote control control,There are also control modes that surpass somatosensory control technology。

TV box in human-computer interaction and control experience,It has been greatly praised,Especially beyond the somatosensory control technology,It is considered to greatly surpass the somatosensory technology launched by Microsoft before,At the same time,It can be connected with mobile phones、Tablet and ultrabook can be interconnected through WIFI,At the same time, it can run games and applications in the Android store。

Not only that,Leaf Technology has also launched a number of somatosensory games for TV boxes,Some small games are developed by Leaf Technology itself,But most of them were previously released to developers for development,At the same time, they were launched on the market。

The launch of the smart TV box is also seen as another powerful impact on Microsoft's home host business,After all, in terms of content,Ye Technology has an absolute advantage,And the human-computer interaction and control experience are quite good,But it is relatively poor in the field of games,After all, Microsoft and Nintendo have been developing in this area for many years。

But the game is obviously not the biggest selling point of Zeus TV box,Its biggest selling point is upgradeability,According to the planning of leaf technology,More smart home products will be launched and developed in the future,And further tap the potential of TV box。

With the strong launch of new mobile phones, new tablets, ultrabooks, TV boxes and other businesses, Leaf Technology in January 2011, has become the world's most high-tech company, their every move has attracted the attention of the world, and with the hot sale of many products, Leaf Technology's cash reserves are also increasing, many analysts believe that Leaf Technology will complete the long-awaited acquisition of Motorola.

But there is also relatively unfavorable news, that is, Google has repeatedly expressed interest in Motorola's mobile phone business.

But just when Motorola's market value soared because it was caught in the whirlpool of major technology giants, Nokia, a mobile phone industry giant from Finland, released its financial statements for the fourth quarter of 2010, and the latter announced that the company lost 1.2 billion euros in the fourth quarter of 2010.

As soon as this news came out, Nokia's market value immediately fell into a big decline, directly falling below the bottleneck of 10 billion euros, and also shocked all people in the world who paid attention to the high-tech field, and even issued a cry and cry that even Nokia couldn't hold on.

Nokia's chairman of the board of directors, Risto? In an interview with reporters at the press conference, Schillasma said that the reason for the loss was the company's restructuring of the business, especially the acquisition of some map businesses, which resulted in a total loss of one billion euros, resulting in such a huge loss for the company.

As for the news in the market that Nokia will pay a lot of money to buy out the shares of the joint venture company with Siemens, Risto? Schillasma also gave a positive answer, saying that the two sides are still negotiating, and there is no news that can be announced to the public for the time being, but there is no doubt that he has given a positive answer to this news.

As a result, Nokia's market value will definitely go downhill in the long run, because according to this statement, Nokia's smartphone system does not make much money at all, although the company has a huge cash flow and will not go bankrupt in the short term, but the business has undoubtedly fallen into a quagmire, and it is difficult to make a breakthrough.

Therefore, Nokia's stock price has a big decline after the press conference, falling below 10 billion, and the long-term development prospects have become very bleak, and even many professionals have predicted that Nokia will launch an Android mobile phone system in the second quarter, which is a last resort for Nokia to redeem itself.

After Samsung, HTC and even many Chinese mobile phone brands have tasted the sweetness of the Android system and developed rapidly, Nokia is only now entering the market, which is obviously a little late.

Of course, in the analysis of many professionals, there are occasionally one or two reviews and analyses that whether it is a business restructuring, or a buyout of Siemens' shares, or a further acquisition to improve the map business, although in the short term, Nokia's financial statements will definitely be very ugly, but in the long run, Nokia's property quality will be higher.

Even some of the top international financial gurus have predicted that in the first quarter of 2011, after Nokia acquired the Siemens business, the loss of financial statements will continue to exceed one billion, and even if Nokia really lays off 20% of the world's employees, that is, more than 70,000 employees, and saves one billion euros in expenses, the loss will be very huge.

"What was it that made Nokia make such a big decision?"

Top financial gurus, and even some of the world's top investors, have sniffed out some clues, that is, Nokia is using this self-harm treatment to attract acquirers!

"Nokia is very sincere this time, and their negotiating team is made up of John? Ollila personally led the team, and the chairman of the board of directors, Risto? Sylas Ma, CEO Compekie, Chief Attorney Luis? Pentland, as well as the chief financial officer, among others, participated in the negotiations in Finland. ”

In the small town of Totridge, north London, at Ye Qiu's home, Eliza? Moon, Sandberg and others participated in the meeting of Ye Technology's negotiation team in Ye Qiu's study, because it was a confidential matter, so the number of people involved in the negotiation on both sides this time was small, Ye Technology only had four people, and Nokia had seven people.

For Leaf Tech, Nokia Ken promised to negotiate, which in itself was a good start, and according to Eliza? Moon's statement, this is still John? Ollilah's text messages to her personally facilitated the negotiations.

However, this is an acquisition involving more than 10 billion euros, and it will also be the largest acquisition made by Ye Technology since its establishment, and it is bound to set off huge waves all over the world, so it cannot be completed in a short time.

"We don't need to be in a hurry in our current negotiations!" Eliza? Moon was analyzing the current situation with Ye Qiu, "There is a disagreement within Microsoft, Bill? Gates doesn't want the company to get too much into hardware, while Ballmer wants to buy a company with hardware capabilities, such as Motorola or Nokia, and the two sides are so divided that there is no sign of reconciliation in sight. ”

This has always been a big weakness of Microsoft, they are really bad at hardware, and it can even be said that all their digital products have hardly ever succeeded, which makes Microsoft look like a lame giant.

"Apple has no intention of making such a major acquisition, they are more focused on developing their mobile phone and tablet business, and they can't come up with so much money to buy Motorola or Nokia, but Google, they are very close to Motorola."

Of course, Leaf Technology is also very close to Motorola, but the real target is Nokia.

In Ye Qiu's view, the huge patent that won the Nortel network, coupled with the huge patent system held by Leaf Technology itself, the mobile phones and tablets launched by Apple, Microsoft and Google are equivalent to helping Leaf Technology make money, because to get patent authorization, of course, the cost is still more reasonable.

As for Samsung, HTC and other companies are even more so, in addition to earning licensing fees from them, there is also an Android store equipped with mobile phones, and now the Android store earns more than enough money for Leaf Technology every year to acquire a Nokia, relying on the entire huge global market.

If Leaf Technology wins either Motorola or Nokia, the hegemony of the Android system will be as stable as Mount Tai, and other competitors will not expect to be able to impact the leading position of Leaf Technology at least in the short term.

"Nokia has given the green light to the acquisition, but it is very different from us in terms of valuation, and they believe that the current market value of Nokia is seriously undervalued, whether it is the mobile phone business or the map business!" Eliza? Moon's words made many people present laugh.

When Nokia bought Navteq, an American digital map technology company, it spent $8 billion, which is a little less than the current market value of Nokia, so if you want to buy Nokia, it is absolutely impossible to proceed according to the current market value. Ollila would not have been foolish enough to agree to do so.

The map business is a very large market, but it is also very difficult to enter this field, Google spent tens of thousands of hours of manual development of Google Maps, and a lot of the data is from Nokia, you can imagine how much manpower and financial resources Google has invested in this.

Thinking about it from another angle, many people feel that Google Maps is now free, and Google has always advertised open source, but the so-called open source is just a commercial gimmick, Google has now restricted the software development of the map business, that is, anyone who wants to develop software and applications based on Google Maps needs Google's consent.

That's the precursor to the charge!

Of course, Google may not charge ordinary users, but he will definitely charge other enterprise users, and the cost is certainly not low, so whether it is from the field of smart phones, or from the future of smart cars, Ye Technology needs to have its own map business, not subject to Google.

This is why Ye Qiu values Nokia instead of Motorola!

"After consultation and consideration, we decided to adopt Nokia's maps from the next generation of Zeus phones, tablets and ultrabooks, and Nokia will also put the map app on the Android store, and they will also launch Android phones, which I think will be good for us and help us better move users from the original Symbian to Android."

Eliza? Moon's idea was affirmed by Ye Qiu.

Things have to be seen this way, the Android system is now very profitable, but if you look at the market share, Symbian is a well-deserved leader, so regardless of whether it can acquire Nokia in the future, it is very necessary to open the Android system to Nokia, and it is also a very good decision for Android.

If all Symbian users could be transferred to Android, Android would have more than 90% of smartphone share.

"Looking for another opportunity to talk to them, not only the mobile phone business, but also Nokia's huge patent and talent team, as well as their map business, I want to win!" After a pause, Ye Qiu said again: "I talked to BMW CEO Norbert not long ago? Retheff met in London and we talked a lot. ”

BMW is now the car sponsor of Tottenham Hotspur, and the German company has received a huge return from this sponsorship, especially in the Asian market, which has grown at an impressive rate, thanks to the strong appeal and market influence of Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur in Asia.

"He wants to work with us further, for example by adopting lighthouse technology in their 4S store, and then launching an app directly in our Android store through tablets, TV boxes, and even apps directly in our Android store to serve their users, for which they will purchase 3,000 tablets in a unified manner, and then order our ultrabooks."

This is a major achievement achieved after the public purchased 5,000 tablet computers and invited Leaf Technology to design the lighthouse technology scheme of the 4S flagship store for them, and the amount involved is not very high, but the problem is that this has made a free publicity for Leaf Technology, and the future customers will be endless.

Moreover, BMW and Volkswagen will cooperate with Leaf Technology in the field of smart cars, and they have also achieved good results so far, and are expected to be launched in the near future.

Interestingly, Ye Qiu's previous let Ye Technology develop a large LCD screen after the news was announced by the media, immediately attracted a lot of interested companies around the world, they are paying attention to the research and development progress and effect of this set of equipment, it is expected that when the world's largest LCD TV is unveiled at Stratford Stadium, it will bring a lot of orders to Ye Technology.

Among them is BMW.

This is indeed something that Ye Qiu did not expect, and the interest of customers has also made Ye Technology's research and development more active.

The successive good news undoubtedly diluted Ye Qiu's depression caused by three consecutive draws in the league, especially the team's final in the League Cup, which made Ye Qiu satisfied with the performance of this group of young players.

But on January 29, the team was about to usher in the fourth round of the FA Cup, and before the away game against Fulham, Ye Qiu began to receive unfavorable news one after another. Toure also knocked on the door of Ye Qiu's office on the afternoon of the 29th.
