When Eliza Moon returned to his villa in Palo Alto with a tired body, Ye Qiu was taking a shower and sitting outside the living room balcony, facing the cool breeze blowing from the forest, his feet were directly on the balcony fence, and he had no image at all.

On the table beside him sat a bottle of drunk red wine and two goblets.

"You're so laid-back," Eliza smiled and walked out of the living room onto the balcony, where she immediately felt a breath of fresh air that made her feel as if she had no worries in her heart.

Ye Qiu didn't look back, but looked at the dark forest in the distance in a daze.

It's one of the luxury residential complexes in Palo Alto, where all the wealthy people live in Palo Alto, and everyone knows that the most of them are high-tech companies.

Silicon Valley is actually not just a place, but a region, including the headquarters of many famous companies such as Palo Alto and Google, as well as the new headquarters of Leaf Technology.

Ye Qiu has been staying in the headquarters for the past few days, he discussed with Jonathan Ivey, Andy Rubin and others about the research and development of Zeus II mobile phone, this mobile phone will add some light sensors and gyroscopes, and the game department of Ye Technology will also launch several games in a targeted manner, many of which are creative from Ye Qiu.

"I call this joy in suffering," Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Eliza threw him angrily, but poured herself a glass of wine.

This villa was bought by Ye Qiu and given to her, when Ye Technology moved the new headquarters into Palo Alto, Ye Qiu bought a mansion here and gave it to Eliza, and she accepted it unceremoniously, but many times, Ye Qiu also lived here when he came to Silicon Valley, and the two seemed to have returned to the same life when they were in Amsterdam in the past.

"By the way, how is the patent restructuring going?" Ye Qiu broke the silence.

Eliza sat down beside him, a table with red wine between them, "You think it's that fast?" There was a bit of an ambiguous coquettish atmosphere in the tone.

Ye Qiu smiled at this, and couldn't say anything more.

With more than 7,000 patents and nearly 1,000 patents, it is not easy to combine these patents.

The main reason why Nortel Networks didn't think about using patents to gain benefits was that their patents were too loose, but these patents were very high-quality patents, covering wireless networks, telecom switches, Internet routers, modems, personal computers, search, social networks, and semiconductors.

Such a large number of high-quality, diverse patents, this is a strange thing in itself, Ye Qiu's previous life of Nortel network patents to the public later, almost shocked the whole world, but now, they are so good, even regarded as only in Bell Labs and IHN company patents, wasted, a very important reason is that the structure of these patents is too loose.

Therefore, after Ye Qiu bought these patents, the first thing he needed to do was to integrate these patents and turn them into some patent portfolios to form his own powerful patent weapons, so that whether it is used as a defense, authorization, or even an attack on competitors, it is very powerful.

But the whole integration requires some process, and at the same time, some means.

For example, when Shirley Sandberg persuaded the government, she promised that the core purpose of Yezi Technology's purchase of these patents was to protect itself, and at the same time, she also promised to license the patents to manufacturers in need as much as possible, of course, such authorization is subject to high fees.

However, Eliza Moon is thinking about the future of the company, after all, no one can guarantee that Ye Technology will not need to use these patents to fight some opponents who infringe on his patents in the future, so he decided to set up a new company to be responsible for operating the company's patents and the ensuing lawsuits.

Don't underestimate these patent lawsuits, not long ago, Lucent sued Microsoft for infringing their NP3 patent, claiming $1.5 billion, and then those patent lawsuits are also hundreds of millions, which is very amazing.

Ye Qiu once saw some news that in 20 years, Qualcomm paid $4 billion a year in patent fees, and IHN, the world's largest patent holder, collected more than $1 billion a year in patent fees.

As for the Android phones produced by Google in its previous life, Google itself actually didn't make much money, but Microsoft made much more money from his series of patent licenses than Google, which worked hard to develop the Android system.

It can be seen that the patent war is bound to become the biggest barrier for high-tech enterprises in the next few years.

At present, Yezi Technology has nearly 9,000 patents, which has also made Yezi Technology successfully enter the ranks of industrial giants.

"We are currently hiring more than a dozen reverse engineers." Eliza said casually.

"Reverse engineer?" Ye Qiu had never heard of this term.

Eliza smiled and glanced at him, those talking eyes seemed to be saying, you also don't understand?

"The job of a reverse engineer is to inspect the products and devices such as routers and mobile phones on the market, and conduct reverse tracking and research from the finished products, to find out whether there is evidence of infringement of our patents in these products, and collect them, and then negotiate with the company where the product is located, and if the negotiation fails, file a lawsuit."

Ye Qiu didn't know anything about this kind of detail, so in his previous life, he was still thinking, how could those big companies know if others had infringed on their patents? In particular, thousands of patents are often available

It turned out that they had a special so-called reverse engineer working on this, and I really didn't expect it.

"Of course, we are still taking a defensive strategy and taking the licensing route for now, and for our competitors, we also want to do it in a cooperative way and share each other's patents conditionally." Eliza said confidently.

At the very least, whether it is the sum of wireless communication technology, or in semiconductors, voice, Internet, etc., Nortel Network's series of patents are very core technologies, if you really want to fight a patent war, whether it is Microsoft, Intel, Apple and Google, none of them can escape.

The more in-depth she understands these patents, as well as the huge market they represent, and the near-monopoly power, the more deeply Eliza Moon discovers that Ye Qiu's acquisition is definitely a big profit.

"In the future, we will negotiate with Google on patents for businesses such as search, and at the same time, we will maintain the patent licensing business between Nortel Networks and some companies, and further explore the potential."

Ye Qiu nodded, he didn't want Ye Zi Technology to become a patent monster, but there was a sentence that was very good, people don't offend me, I don't offend people, everyone is angry and makes money, but if you offend me, I don't mind killing you.

With these patents, more and more mobile phone and hardware manufacturers will be forced to tie up the chariot of Leaf Technology, because even now, Apple's mobile phones have not been developed, because Leaf Technology's previous research and development has set up layers of patent barriers for them, and the loss of Jonathan Ivey's hardware department, Apple's research and development capabilities have been greatly hit.

At present, in the mobile phone industry, especially in the field of smart phones, Nokia is still a dominant company, and Ye Technology makes the most money, but the amount is not very large, but Ye Qiu believes that with the launch of Zeus II, Nokia will be completely pushed off the altar, and even he is happy to see that in the near future, he successfully acquires Nokia's mobile phone business, as well as those patents in Nokia's hands.

"Thank you, Eliza" Ye Qiu raised the goblet beside him.

After the two clattered glasses, Ye Qiu took a sip lightly, and suddenly said: "The company will carry out a number of important research and development in the future, such as the map business, as well as tablet computers, smart TVs, in-car intelligent systems, etc., plus the patent company, I think you still need to sit in the United States." ”

Eliza nodded, she also knew that the company is currently in the stage of rapid development and leapfrogging, only if she is in North America, Ye Qiu can rest assured, "But what about Tottenham Hotspur?" ”

Although compared with the total assets of Ye Technology that are now as high as tens of billions, Tottenham Hotspur is simply a drop in the bucket, but whether it is for Ye Qiu or Eliza, Tottenham Hotspur and the agent company that has been renamed as a sports service company carry too much hope for them, which is the testimony that they have all this from nothing to now, and it is also the fate between them.

"I have the right candidate, from now on, you are promoted to vice chairman, and I will find you another CPOU" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Eliza seemed to sense who Ye Qiu was talking about, and pouted her lips very cutely, "Do I have the ability to resist?" ”

"You don't want shares, you don't have the right to speak without shares," Ye Qiu teased her with a smile

For Eliza, he has never been stingy, and is even willing to give her more shares, whether it is a sports service company that she already holds shares, or Ye Zi Technology, which she does not own, but she has always refused, and even Ye Qiu doesn't know what to do.

"You know, I don't do so many things for shares" Eliza looked at Ye Qiu, her eyes seemed to be glowing, and Ye Qiu's heart fluttered, as if she was hooked by something.

He knew the Tao, and even he felt that not only him, but Huang Chu could also detect it, and even his parents could detect it.

Sometimes, he really felt that he owed Eliza too much, but there were some things, he really didn't know what to do, because he not only had Huang Chu, but also two children, and he couldn't give her the slightest promise.

For Ye Qiu, family is the most important thing in his mind, and for this he can give up everything

Eliza also knew Ye Qiu's thoughts, but she didn't have any intention of coercion, just as she once said to Huang Chu, sometimes, women are stupid, loving a man doesn't have to possess him, look at him well, and feel good and satisfied.

Therefore, she never thought about fighting for anything, even if she seemed to be so shrewd and practicable, but she cherished her feelings, Ye Qiu, and Huang Chu very, very much, because the two of them were her best and best friends, and even relatives.

Just when the two of them were silent and a little embarrassed and ambiguous, Ye Qiu's mobile phone rang, and it turned out to be Huang Chu.

"So early, it must be Xiao Huang Rong" Ye Qiu smiled and pointed the caller ID towards Eliza, and then nodded to Eliza, then stood up and prepared to go back to the house, and at the same time connected the mobile phone.

This time of year in London should be morning.

"Why did you wake up so early?" Ye Qiu asked his baby daughter on the phone.

Eliza didn't look back, but listened intently to his fading voice, and she couldn't help but show a wry smile, but it was only a wry smile, because she knew from the beginning that it would be like this, but she never regretted it.

Ye Qiu spent eight days in the United States and completed an acquisition worth $800 million, which immediately attracted the attention of the media throughout the world, when in fact, he himself did nothing.

Ye Qiu also felt very helpless about this, but it was impossible for him to stop the media from reporting on him, right?

After returning to London, Ye Qiu rested for a day, and then the internationals began to return to the team one after another, and a new round of intense fixtures began, and after two weeks, Tottenham Hotspur's first opponent was Newcastle.

The current Newcastle is no longer the invincible Newcastle of previous years, and the Magpies are now a complete mid-table team in the Premier League, while Tottenham Hotspur is rising, even if it is an away game, everyone still believes that Tottenham Hotspur has no problem beating the opponent.

But Tottenham Hotspur once again encountered the old problem, the opening 20 minutes, the team did not score, but Martins took the lead to break through the Tottenham Hotspur goal, conceded the first goal, which seems to have become a stubborn problem for Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham didn't let the Magpies last long, conceding a goal to stabilize Tottenham Hotspur, and just before the end of the first half, Franck Ribery's goal helped Tottenham equalis.

At the start of the second half, Tottenham Hotspur bombarded indiscriminately, relying on goals from Van Persie and Cesc Fabregas, to reverse Newcastle, which also allowed Tottenham Hotspur to complete a reversal again

But just when the media was still struggling with Tottenham Hotspur's always bad start, the team returned to London to host the opponent of the third round of the Champions League group stage, Slavia Prague from the Czech Republic, which was also a very crucial point battle for Tottenham Hotspur, who lost in the first group game.

As a result, just five minutes into the game, Cesc Fabregas, who has been in excellent form recently, took the lead in using a back-cut pass from Messi to break through the goal of Slavia Prague.

Then Vargas's cross from the left resulted in an own goal from Slavia Prague's defenders, and just before the end of the first half, Messi scored another goal for Tottenham Hotspur, and the first half finally ended.

In the second half, Franck Ribery, Cesc Fabregas, Lionel Messi and substitute Carroll all scored successively, and finally helped Tottenham Hotspur beat Slavia Prague 0 at home and won two consecutive group stage victories.

So far, three rounds of the group stage have been played, Valencia has won all three games to top the group, Tottenham Hotspur has two wins and one loss, and the group is second, these two teams are also the most likely teams to qualify from the group stage, as for Bucharest Stars and Slavia Prague can only choose to qualify for the UEFA Cup.

Back in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur welcomed Blackburn, but this time Tottenham Hotspur, who played at home, seemed to have found the rhythm of the game and played possession with Blackburn Rovers steadily at the beginning.

Blackburn, who have a reputation for violence, wanted to use aggressive pressing and pressing to contain Tottenham's attack, but this tactic has proven time and time again to be ineffective, and in the first minute, Yaya Toure cut in after a back to open the scoring for Tottenham.

Then in the 4l minute, Van Persie scored another goal for Tottenham Hotspur, 0

After the start of the second half, it was Van Persie who pulled the ball to the right side, shook off the opponent's central defender Dunn, and directly fired a left-footed volley, the ball hung in the dead corner of the goal, 0

Followed by Vargas, substitute Ashavin and Edinson Cavani all scored one after another, and Tottenham Hotspur slaughtered Blackburn Rovers 0 at home to complete a big victory, and also let everyone see Tottenham Hotspur's strong bench strength.

In midweek, the League Cup round of 16 knockout round, Tottenham Hotspur hosted Blackpool, Ye Qiu still played with a full bench lineup, goals from Aaron Ramsey and Carroll, helped Tottenham Hotspur beat the opponent 0, but the best performance in this game was Gareth Bale, who played left winger.

Gareth Bale was very active with Marcelo on the left in this game, and both of the team's goals came from Gareth Bale, one of which was a sudden knockback from the left to assist Aaron Ramsey and another free-kick to assist Carroll.

Thanks to the excellent performances of this group of young players, Tottenham Hotspur reached the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup with their heads held high, and this time they met Manchester City.

At the weekend, Tottenham Hotspur beat Wigan 40 at home, and just 35 minutes before half, Tottenham Hotspur took a 0-0 lead thanks to Ribery's brace and Messi's goal.

After taking a big lead in the first half, Ye Qiu began to make substitutions to save strength for the Champions League group stage in midweek, and Wigan struggled to threaten Tottenham Hotspur in the second half, but in the first minute, Cavani, who started in place of Van Persie, finally broke through Wigan's goal and scored the fourth goal for the team.

After beating Wigan 40, the team rushed to the Czech Republic to challenge Slavia Prague away, and finally Tottenham Hotspur beat Slavia Prague 0 away thanks to goals from Alves, Robin van Persie and Arshavin.

However, when the team returned to the Premier League, they drew away to Middlesbrough.

So far, the Premier League has played a total of thirteen rounds, Tottenham Hotspur with seven wins, two draws and two losses, two less rounds of points, ranked sixth in the Premier League, and in front of Tottenham Hotspur is Liverpool, who has one less round but points.

At the top of the current standings is Arsenal, who have 30 points with Manchester United, and the goal difference of both teams is the same, but Arsenal has scored more goals, ranking first, Manchester United second, followed by Manchester City, Chelsea, and after the change of manager of the Blues, the results have steadily improved.

Of course, this is also because Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur have both played one and two games less, otherwise, with Chelsea's current results, it is uncertain whether they will be able to retain the top four in the league.

And with the series of fluctuations brought about by Mourinho's dismissal, it has also made some Chelsea insiders start to get some thoughts.

One of the most striking pieces of news is that Frank Arneson has gone from being head of scouting to the team's technical director, and after Grant was promoted to manager, he appears to be the second most powerful in the Chelsea squad.

With two major allies taking over the biggest power in Chelsea's athletic field, Pini Zahavi, the Israeli who was originally a little untenable by Mourinho and Mendes, has become active again and has become the number one person in Chelsea's external poaching, and some people even say that Pinei Zahavi has the final say on who Chelsea will bring in during the winter break.

There is no need to discuss whether the Blues want to bring in reinforcements, and everyone knows that Chelsea's current problems, even if Grant has performed well since he came to power, but in fact it is more of a gnawing at the old roots, and the team's key problems have not been solved at all, which will be a problem sooner or later.

After Abramovich announced the resignation of Mourinho, he took the initiative to stand up and express his full support for Grant, but no one knows whether Mourinho took the initiative to resign or was fired, and Chelsea officials did not give an explanation, so the outside world can only rely on speculation.

However, Peter Kenyon has not been shown as the club's chief executive in the midst of the major changes at the top of Chelsea, which has made many people curious about the position of the Manchester native after the major changes in Chelsea's management.

Many newspapers have disclosed that in this change, Peter Kenyon has been excluded by Abramovich, and the differences between the two can be traced back to when Abramovich wanted to bring in Shevchenko and Ballack.

'It has been revealed that Peter Kenyon is likely to leave Stamford Bridge after fulfilling his contract with Chelsea this year, and it also declares a complete failure of Roman Abramovich's ambitious slogan to rebuild a Manchester United empire when he took over Chelsea'

Because if Ye Qiu's departure is a failure at the competitive level, then Peter Kenyon's departure will be a failure at the management level, and if that happens, then Chelsea are bound to usher in even greater changes.

In particular, after the announcement of Grant's firefighting, Roman Abramovich expressed his desire for Chelsea to be a financially healthy team, suggesting that he will continue to tighten his approach to the team.

Many media outlets have said it could also be a sign of Chelsea's farewell to the Premier League throne
