The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 473 Learn to let go
When Ye Qiu and Huang Chu, accompanied by Elisa, drove to the headquarters of Leaf Technology, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone around. Autumn.

Everyone knows that the boss of Leaf Technology is Ye Qiu, but not many people actually see him in the company, mainly because Ye Qiu doesn't come often, and even if he does come, he usually comes and goes in a hurry. It is difficult for other people to meet him when meeting with executives and heads of the R&D department, or some important technical department personnel.

Leaf Technology is now a big company with a big business and everything is big. There are so many employees, especially some new employees join every day, so quite a lot of people only know Eliza Moon, the chief CEO of the company, and not at all. Get to know Ye Qiu.

However, as long as one thinks about being able to have the company's beautiful CEO pick her up in person, it's not difficult to guess her identity.

"Come here for the first time, Ah Chu!" Standing beside Huang Chu, Eliza saw the astonished eyes of the company's empress, obviously surprised by the size of the company and the beauty of the surrounding environment.

I have seen renderings before, but everyone knows that if the renderings are reliable, sows can climb trees, but this time she really found that the renderings are not very far from the reality. And the environment is just like in the picture.

"Let's go!" Ye Qiu led the way.

Quite a few people stopped along the way, watching Ye Qiu and Eliza pass by, and many people greeted Eliza.

Just when they were about to enter the company's headquarters, they heard a bicycle bell ringing in the distance, and saw a guy dressed as a cyclist riding a bicycle, rushing towards Ye Qiu and the others at high speed. A sudden brake came, and it seemed that he was planning to do a drift.

"Andy, your driving skills haven't improved at all!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Andy Rubin pulled up his glasses and took off his safety helmet, revealing the naked brain. These are the two brains that impressed him the most among all the friends Ye Qiu knew and the employees of the company. One is Andy Rubin, founder of Android, and the other is Peter Kenyon, chief executive of Tottenham Hotspur.

"I'm planning to research a new project, smart bicycle!" Andy Lubin introduced to Ye Qiu with a smile.

"You know, there are quite a lot of bicycle enthusiasts now. I think we can develop a very interesting bicycle, equipped with an intelligent system, and provide some services such as field navigation, sending messages, and taking pictures. What do you think?"

Dare to feel that this guy rushed over in such a hurry just to mention his idea to Ye Qiu, but he is indeed a fan of super bikes, so Ye Qiu didn't find it strange at all about his proposal.

"Then you plan to use your bicycle to generate electricity yourself?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

"Of course!" Andy Rubin nodded without hesitation, "Power generation is not a problem, the main thing is storage, and there is also the problem of solving the entire power generation loss. I have calculated that power generation itself consumes a lot of energy, and It might increase the drag on the bike going forward, and that's something we need to address."

After hearing this, Ye Qiu immediately shook his head and laughed, "By the way, Andy, you said earlier that you would integrate IFTTT into the Android system, how is the progress now? Also, the new interface for our next-generation Zeus mobile phone is done. No?"

When Andy Rubin heard it, his whole body seemed to be poured with a bucket of icy cold water, and any passion was extinguished. He spread his hands and hesitated a bit, "Hurry up, soon!"

The Android system is now divided into multiple levels. Although Leaf Technology has authorized many mobile phone manufacturers, including Samsung, to allow them to modify the mobile phone system according to their own ideas, in general, their transformation It is authorized, and only stays at the surface level, and only Leaf Technology can move at the core level.

The purpose of this is to ensure the stability and integrity of the Android system, and to ensure that the system will not be fragmented similar to the previous life, and IFTTT will further integrate the entire mobile phone system and build a complete set of mobile phone systems through cloud services. Android ecological chain.

Now Leaf Technology does almost everything, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger. In addition to the Zeus mobile phone and the tablet computer that will be launched soon, a series of very popular websites and software on the Internet such as FACEBOOK, Twitter, and YOUTUBE belong to Leaf. technology, and with the launch of mobile phones, Leaf Technology also integrated all resources, and launched its own mailbox, blog, browser, input method, news website, etc. again.

But both Ye Qiu and Eliza feel that although too much business is not a bad thing, it should not be too loose. It must be able to closely surround a series of core businesses of the company, just like Microsoft, their core business Business is the operating system, so constant integration is required.

"Andy, I am also very optimistic about your smart bicycle project!" Ye Qiu also admires this creative genius, "Well, I promise to let you study smart bicycles, but the premise is that you must do it as soon as possible. work, it can only use free time to study, OK?"

"Very OK!" Andy Rubin promised with a smile. He is a cyclist. He rides a bicycle to and from get off work, and even travels by bicycle. If it is possible to develop such a bicycle as he said If so, it seems to be good.

The key point is that this kind of research and development does not actually require too much investment. For Leaf Technology, the research and development of hundreds of thousands and millions is a drop in the bucket, but it is more important than anything else to allow this innovative madman to do things with peace of mind.

Walking into the company headquarters, he went directly to the meeting room, where the heads of various departments of the company were already waiting for him.

This is the first time Huang Chu has personally experienced a high-level meeting of Leaf Technology. She was a little surprised to find that there were nearly a hundred people in the meeting just for the heads of various departments, and some of them were Chinese. She says hello.

And as the meeting progressed, as the major departments reported their performance and plans, her surprise became more obvious.

According to Chief Operating Officer Sandberg, Leaf Technology has completed an acquisition in an average of [-] days in the past year or so, and the amount basically ranged from tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars. The acquisition of two semiconductor companies cost around US$[-] million each.

But there are rewards for paying, and Leaf Technology is fully capable of making mobile device chips for tablet computers by itself.

From mobile phones to tablet computers, this is a set of naturally formed product chain layouts. As early as more than a year ago, Ye Qiu had already discussed with Elisa and the company's management. There will also be an Android laptop, and there's even a concept.

The whole concept was proposed by Ye Qiu, directly plagiarized Microsoft Surface, made the keyboard of the notebook into a protective cover, and adopted a full touch keyboard design, and the screen of the notebook also adopts a touch design. This idea has already been obtained by Jonathan? Including Ivey and others, all the company's top executives were amazed, and soon formed a concept to have a research and development team.

At the same time, the research and development of smart TVs is also proceeding in an orderly manner, and the research and development of smart cameras, smart watches, smart glasses, etc. are also going on at the same time, but it is another business that has attracted the attention of the outside world, smart car systems.

This is another important layout of Leaf Technology in the next few years, but it is not a driverless car, because the senior engineers of Leaf Technology feel that driverless cars are not mature at all in a short period of time and need more accumulation and research , but the intelligence of the automotive operating system is fully capable of being realized, and such a huge global automotive market has huge potential.

At present, many automobile companies, including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, General Motors, Volkswagen, Audi, etc., have expressed their great interest in introducing the Android operating system into the new models of major brands. Moreover, with the rapid development of 3G mobile phones in recent years, there is no problem at all in realizing 3G networking in cars.

But the introduction of the Android system into the car is not limited to entertainment media playback. Leaf Technology is developing a comprehensive intelligent operating system that integrates environmental sensing, multi-function driver assistance and other functions. Its short-term goal is to improve the safety of car operation Sex, comfort, convenience, and providing a better driving experience for human-vehicle interaction, a very important part of which is voice control, so Leaf Technology acquired a voice control company.

2008 was a year when Internet technology stocks plummeted. Apple plummeted, Google plummeted, and Yahoo plummeted. This time, the company focused on Nuance, the global leader in the field of speech recognition. Siri, which was later acquired by Apple, actually used their technology, and the current market value of this company is expected to be 15 to 20 billion US dollars.

But with it, Leaf Technology will further expand its business scope and core competitiveness, especially in the future of mobile phone voice recognition, automotive system voice recognition, etc., and will almost seize the commanding heights. The future market will definitely be astonishing.

From mobile phones to tablets to laptops to cars, to TVs, cameras, glasses, and watches, Leaf Technology already has a complete set of research and development systems for smart home and mobile devices for individuals and families, and judging from the current situation , Leaf Technology is undoubtedly at the forefront.

The popularity of the Zeus mobile phone has made the Android system popular, coupled with the joining of other mobile phone manufacturers, the Android system has been promoted and popularized at an extremely fast speed. With such a platform, other hardware and software of Leaf Technology The promotion of various aspects has brought great convenience, but also brought great challenges to other competitors.

It can even be said that as long as the Android system is not overthrown for a day, Leaf Technology will not be in any danger.

Also because the entire R&D system is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more acquisitions of Leaf Technology. An acquisition will be completed in an average of 2009 days. Once the tablet is launched, coupled with the formation of many other projects, it is expected to In [-], it took almost a month to complete an acquisition, because many companies have already entered the field of vision of Leaf Technology, but they just waited for the right time to complete the acquisition and integration.

Not only that, Leaf Technology has also reached a cooperation agreement with the Chinese government. The two parties will devote themselves to the development of an intelligent transportation system. The entire system will be dedicated to eliminating traffic congestion, reducing exhaust emissions and fuel consumption, and realizing energy-saving and environmentally friendly intelligent transportation.

This system is mainly composed of a central server, road monitoring, GPS navigation and positioning, and terminal car navigation. It can automatically feed back the traffic information ahead in real time according to the driving situation and direction of the vehicle you are driving, and will also send some official news at the same time. , such as information on road construction, congestion, route restrictions, etc., and even in the event of an emergency, the traffic police can directly transmit the information to the terminal for traffic command.

In addition, the traffic police can also carry out traffic control through the information fed back by the terminal, such as traffic lights, and can also push effective traffic information services to ensure that drivers and other traffic participants can get real-time traffic information in the shortest time. To collect tolls, basically no need to stop, just pass through, the system automatically collects and records.

At present, this system will take the lead in Xiamen as a pilot, and if it is successful, it will be gradually promoted. Leaf Technology will not directly participate in the production of navigation hardware, but will provide technology and software to support the production of domestic manufacturers, and the government and Leaf Technology will also start from the sales of navigators. To obtain a commission to maintain the operation of the entire intelligent transportation system.

Moreover, Leaf Technology will integrate this series of services into the smart car system, and the prospect is very gratifying.

China is the world's largest automobile consumer market in the future, and one can imagine the great prospects.

Leaf Technology acquired a number of digital map companies, not just to avoid over-reliance on cooperation with Google, as the outside world said, but to take a fancy to the huge market prospects of the entire smart car business.

Youdao is interlaced like a mountain. Huang Chu is undoubtedly an outstanding neurosurgeon, but when she walked into Leaf Science and Technology, it was like walking into an alien planet that did not belong to the earth at all. What she heard was full of inconceivability, and what made her even more unexpected was that all of this was created by her husband.

The more she looked at it, the more she felt a sense of pride.

"Surprised, isn't it?" Eliza understood Huang Chu's thoughts best. Seeing Ye Qiu being forcibly taken away by Jonathan Ivey and others, Eliza took Huang Chu back to her office and asked with a smile. .

"I feel, amazed, he usually can't tell at all!" Huang Chu was a little at a loss.

Perhaps, this is the first time she has discovered that there are so many things about her husband that she thought she knew very well, but this is also caused by her lack of concern for Leaf Technology. , she didn't even know what Zeus's phone looked like until Ye Qiu changed it.

"Leaf Technology has completely exceeded everyone's expectations today, including me, and I believe it includes him. Our business has completely exceeded our control, so let's not talk about you, sometimes Even I, the person who watched it come out step by step, was surprised and incredible."

After a pause, Eliza smiled again: "At least I couldn't believe that I would live in a completely intelligent world one day, but now, everything seems to happen naturally. gone."

Eliza's home is equipped with a smart home system, and there are some elements of IFTTT in it. For example, according to her habits, after the car is parked in the garage, the lights in the living room on the second floor are automatically turned on, the curtains are automatically opened, and the balcony sliding door is automatically opened. .
Gradually, she got used to living in such an environment, so that she lived in London recently, but she was not used to it, thinking that she had to do everything by herself.

"I think these are all from sci-fi movies!" Huang Chu smiled wryly. She found that she couldn't keep up with Ye Qiu.

After hearing this, Eliza took her best friend's hand, "Actually, you don't need to think too much, you should know that for him, the most important thing you do is to help him maintain a warm and comfortable home, Leave him alone for other things!"

Huang Chu also nodded. It's not that she doesn't understand many things, but that she doesn't like to ask about them on weekdays, such as the development of Huangtian Group, and her ability to become the richest man in China. There is actually a strong passion for Ye Qiu behind her Ying Ying, even Huang Jinsong said that without Ye Qiu, the Huang Tian Group would not have achieved half of what he is today if he was given a lifetime of work.

And for Ye Qiu now, Huang Tian Group is not even important anymore.

Just like domestic shopping websites, in the hands of Chen Zhong and Huangtian Group, although they have developed well, they are limited, but in the hands of Leaf Technology, their performance has improved by leaps and bounds, and the scale is constantly expanding, becoming a domestic shopping website. The leading overlord of the company has even laid out the so-called online and offline cooperation in advance.

Huang Chu could also tell that Ye Qiu usually didn't have much time to take care of the company's affairs. Everything was done by Elisa behind his back. It can be said that Ye Qiu is undoubtedly the key person to make Leaf Technology have what it is today. , but Eliza is also crucial, the two are indispensable.

Thinking of this, Huang Chu took Eliza's hand, and the two sat down on the sofa in the office.

"Eliza, I really appreciate that you have spared no effort to help us for so many years, really!" Huang Chu gently patted Elisa's hand. The two of them were very good girlfriends, but at this moment The intimacy at this moment has a somewhat different meaning, especially for Eliza, who is somewhat panicked and at a loss.

"Don't be stupid, am I doing it for myself? I don't know how free and easy I am here with a high salary!"

Although he said so, Huang Chu just nodded, "Don't worry, I won't let Ye Qiu treat you badly!"

I still remember that when she was young, she had heard a lot about Huang Jinsong's socializing outside. At that time, her father often didn't come home at night, or came back drunk in the middle of the night, and even a few times, never He could easily smell the perfume of other women on his body.

But his mother, Chu Yun, always didn't mind at all, and often acted as if nothing happened. Huang Chu also asked his mother with doubts, why?

Chu Yun said with a smile, "A man is like a bird in your palm. If your man is shining brightly, then you should let go of your hand and let him fly, because such a man is destined not to be loved by you." Hold it in the palm of your hand and take care of it, but you can make it his nest, and when he gets tired from flying outside, he will come back by himself!"

"Those men who will always hide in your palm, need your care, and need your care, are destined to only hide behind you for the rest of their lives. Not only can they not protect you, but they also need you to protect him."

"Men are strange animals, their emotions are strange, and their thinking logic is also very strange. Sometimes, the harder you hold them, the harder they will resist, but if you let go, let him be free Flying, he will be even more attached to your palm."

"When a smart woman falls in love with a successful man, this woman must learn to let go!"
