The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 506 Begging for support!
Ye Qiu's office in Theobald Training Base is not small, because it looks like an independent suite.

The office area and reception area are open to the outside world, and the innermost ones are the resting and sleeping rooms. Everything is designed by Ye Qiu himself based on his own work and rest habits and hobbies. It's not very good, but it suits him well own preferences.

However, he is the same as Ferguson in one thing, that is, they are all on the side close to the training ground, using a huge floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall design, so that on the one hand, he can observe the situation on the training ground anytime and anywhere, on the other hand It's also because he likes to think about things facing the window and the scenery outside.

The sky in London is always so changeable. I could see the sun when I went out just now, but now it has become cloudy. Just like life, it is unpredictable. No one knows what will happen in the future.

When Huang Chu took his two children to the shopping mall a few days ago, he bought four first-class massage chairs on the plane. He bought three at home and put them in the rooms of Ye Qiu's parents, Huang Chu's parents and their couple. Zhang placed it in Ye Qiu's office and used it as an office chair.

Now Ye Qiu is sitting on this first-class massage chair, turned around, half lying down, facing the computer LCD screen on the desk, facing the Theobald training base under the dark clouds outside, with the head in his hand Spinning the Zeus II mobile phone, thinking about the match against Middlesbrough tomorrow.

Continuous multi-line battles have had a huge impact on Tottenham Hotspur. Losing to Manchester United in the League Cup final is really useless, especially in the penalty shootout. I really can’t say anything, but it’s also enough It reflects the current problems of Tottenham Hotspur, the thickness of the bench is not strong enough.

Therefore, to a certain extent, losing the FA Cup and the League Cup may not be a bad thing for Tottenham Hotspur.

But there are some things that Ye Qiu can't say to outsiders, but he is blunt to the coaching staff. The team's current problem is still the undefeated streak, especially for some young players in the team. Stones, every game has to be played with these stones, the pressure can be imagined.

From this point of view, losing a game is not necessarily a bad thing, but the question is, who can guarantee that Tottenham Hotspur can quickly adjust after losing the game and continue to maintain the current state and momentum Woolen cloth?
The future is full of unknowns, just like when Ye Qiu went out in the morning, he never imagined that it would be cloudy in half an hour, so as the head coach of the team, all Ye Qiu can do is 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 as Ye Qiu was thinking, a vibration came from the phone. After unlocking it, he saw that it was Eliza Moon who was far away in San Francisco, USA, who had updated her Weibo and Facebook. The Queen of Weibo updates Weibo almost every hour every day, sometimes posting photos or complaining.

But today is a bit special, she sent a photo, a picture of her facing the mirror, only half of her face can be seen, holding a tablet computer in her hand to take pictures, and this tablet computer looks better than Leaf Technology The one of the model is smaller, and it is clear to tell everyone that this is the seven-inch MINI version rumored by the outside media.

The girl also wrote a sentence under the photo, "What did you see?"

Ye Qiu clicked the reply on the phone screen, "Wow, what a big crow's feet, it's too scary!" Then he clicked send, and he waited for her reply with a mischievous smile.

"You bloody heartless guy, where did you get the crow's feet?" This time it's not Weibo, but a chat tool recently launched by Facebook. It's obvious that she doesn't want her private chat with Ye Qiu to be seen by others. arrive.

"Beautiful Miss Moon, according to the current time in San Francisco, it should be past midnight. Are you still planning to rest?"

Soon, the other side replied: "Oh, you also know that it's past midnight, Mr. Ye Qiu, I just came back from outside!"

"The company shouldn't be very busy recently, why did you go?"

"Pop!"

Immediately added another sentence, "I recently met a handsome guy, and we often go out together at night, it's too early to come back now!"

"Really? Congratulations, someone finally wants it!"

"Needless to say?" Eliza added a playful cartoon expression.

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 world, and make you the happiest bride in the world, sincerely!"

It took more than a minute, and I don't know if it was due to network delay or other reasons, before I received a reply, "Do you really want me to marry early? Are you willing?"

This moved Ye Qiu's heart, but soon came another one, "If I get married, let's see who will look after the company for you!"

"I hope you are happy!" Ye Qiu replied.

This time I waited for more than three minutes before I received a reply, "My mother, I am very happy now, don't worry about it!" Then I sent a black leather whip. If you stand in front of me, I will give you to SM now!
"By the way, let me show you this!"

Soon, she sent three pictures, one is the Mini tablet computer that Leaf Technology will launch soon, and the other two are the notebook computer that Ye Qiu explained before, and it is a touch control An ultrabook with many benefits, including a tablet and a convertible laptop.

In Ye Qiu’s previous life, he had paid attention to Microsoft’s Surface. He felt that this concept is very good, and it is also a future trend. However, the problem with Microsoft is that they focus too much on the PC side, and have no experience with the mobile side. , so they have encountered many problems in the development of this aspect.

One of the two design drawings is plagiarized from Microsoft's Surface design in the previous life, and the other is Leaf Technology's own design, both of which are written by Jonathan Ivey. It has not yet been determined which plan to use.

Looking at Microsoft's mobile devices, there is almost no success, which is why.

Leaf Technology is currently cooperating with Intel and other PC hardware manufacturers to jointly develop this product, and will use Leaf Technology's Android system at that time. At present, Leaf Technology's software department established a project to develop tablet PCs two years ago. At that time, the research and development of ultrabooks had already been listed in it, and the research and development is still being stepped up.

The biggest difficulty at present 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. From tablets to ultrabooks, the whole process can be described as the same.

Of course, for the time being, it is very difficult, and it is almost impossible to transplant the Android system to the PC in a short period of time, and directly compete with Microsoft. The idea of ​​an operating system is just to create an innovative Ultrabook.

"Engineering machine?" What Ye Qiu asked was obviously an ultrabook, because the mini version of the tablet computer will be launched in the second half of the year, and Eliza is releasing it now, obviously to cooperate with publicity and promotion.

"Well, the engineering machine, there is no problem with the hardware, but there are a lot of problems with the software system, and it needs constant optimization and improvement. After the engineers are done, I will ask them to send you one to play with."

"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 complete. In terms of smart phones, Leaf Technology has almost dominated the entire mid-to-high-end field. Now it has launched tablet PCs and Mini versions, and then launched ultrabooks. A perfect equipment product chain.

Microsoft has been taken aback by Leaf Technology, because originally they thought that Leaf Technology only made mobile phones, but with the promotion of the Android system, it almost swept the entire smartphone system, especially when Leaf Technology consciously relaxed the threshold. The purpose of grabbing the market, coupled with the fact that Microsoft's mobile phone system is not strong enough, and Apple's mobile phone has not been able to come out for a long time, coupled with the fact that Zeus mobile phones are selling more and more each generation, it is almost invincible.

And once the Android system of Leaf Technology enters the field of ultrabooks and launches best-selling products like Zeus mobile phones and tablets in the field of notebook computers, it will definitely have an impact on Microsoft's operating system in the future, because since the Android system needs to If it is transplanted to the notebook field, it will inevitably enter other PC fields in the future, and the proud foundation of the Microsoft empire will be in danger of being shaken.

So it is reported that Microsoft intends to launch a series of cooperation with Nokia, and also plans to strengthen the research and development of mobile operating systems, and strive to launch its own new generation of WP mobile operating systems in early 2010, and Apple will also launch its own IOS operating system. Mobile phones, and tablet computer development projects that have been delayed due to setbacks in mobile phone development.

On the contrary, Google has suffered the most because of the rise of Leaf Technology. Because of the loss of the Android mobile phone system, they are currently working hard to create 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 there, it is really difficult for them to compete with Leaf Technology, especially when Leaf Technology consciously avoids competition with companies including Samsung and HTC. As well as the competition among some domestic mobile phone manufacturers, these manufacturers are firmly tied to the chariot of Leaf Technology.

More importantly, when Ye Qiu established Leaf Technology, he had already registered quite a few patents, such as the dynamic tile interface of Microsoft WP and WIN8, and the design of flat icons, etc., which were registered by Leaf Technology quite a bit in advance. There are many patents, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of competitors' research and development.

"Our tablet PCs have exceeded 300 million units, and it is estimated that the sales volume in the first quarter will reach 400 million units. It is very easy to predict that the annual sales volume will exceed 1000 million units!" In the chat tool, Eliza Mu En happily reported the latest results to Ye Qiu.

With the hot sales of Zeus mobile phones and tablet PCs, the profitability of Leaf Technology is quite astonishing. At present, the company has been accumulating the company's cash very quickly. According to Eliza Moon's speculation, if the sales volume of tablet PCs this year If it can exceed 1000 million units, and the total sales volume of the Zeus mobile phone series can exceed 5000 million units, the company's cash flow will reach an astonishing figure, the net profit will exceed 100 billion U.S. dollars, and the total cash held will exceed 500 billion U.S. dollars Dollar.

This is the result obtained after Leaf Technology successfully acquired Nuance at the beginning of the year and entered the voice field with all its strength. Patents, Leaf Technology has become a veritable giant company.

This does not include some subsidiaries including Twitter, WeChat, Facebook, etc. If they are included, the total market value of Leaf Technology will be an astronomical figure.

"At present, many investors and the company's investment department feel that we should complete a large-scale acquisition!" Eliza said with a smile. After all, she has contributed the most to Leaf Technology's development today.

"Oh?" Ye Qiu didn't say anything, but anyone who knew him knew that he was asking.

"You know, Intel's market value is about 1000 billion, which is about the same as that of Samsung Electronics. They are the best semiconductor companies at present. If we win Intel, it will be of great help to our future layout in the PC field, and Intel has always been They all have technical reserves in terms of mobile devices."

"But it may lead to Samsung's betrayal!" 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 the Android system except Zeus mobile phones. Secondly, Samsung is also the largest semiconductor partner of Leaf Technology. There are already some opinions on the development of tablet computer chips. If they buy Intel again, they will definitely be worried.

"It makes sense. For us now, the market is more important than anything else. We should first rule the market, build a solid foundation, and then expand slowly!" Eliza can be said to be very clear.

As the so-called shopping malls are like battlefields, you are very smart, but your opponents are definitely not stupid. They will not stand by and watch you become extremely powerful, and then completely monopolize the entire market, because that is tantamount to slow suicide. To rule the market, the next thing to do is to slowly kill potential opponents one by one.

So as long as you show some signs, they will switch to your competitors.

At least Samsung has a good relationship with Leaf Technology, but in fact they also have an affair with Nokia and Symbian secretly. Even once Microsoft launches a new generation of WP mobile phone system, Samsung and HTC will launch corresponding models , This is cultivating competitors for Leaf Technology.

If you have Intel, you must have AMD. If you have flowers, you must have green leaves. This is the law of nature and the law of the business world. you!
So after the popularity of the Android system, Ye Qiu did not go closed, but opened up in an orderly manner, because he knows very well that Apple's closed mode is 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.

This is like driving a carriage. How to make the horse run fast and steadily in the direction you want by controlling the reins in your hand requires a test of the driver's skills.

At least judging from the current environment and market, the success of Leaf Technology does not mean that it has enriched itself, including Samsung, HTC and some manufacturers in the industrial chain. Samsung relies on the launch of Android phones to provide Leaf Technology's semiconductor chips have successfully allowed Samsung Electronics to surpass the chip giant Intel, which is an example.

Mutual benefit, this is what Ye Qiu wants, and it is also the way for a company to operate in the long run.

Of course, there is one more important thing, how to continue to maintain innovation and continue to develop competitive products after taking the lead. This is the next challenge for Leaf Technology. Otherwise, with the current layout of mobile phones and tablets, at most After ten years, if Leaf Technology no longer has competitive products, it will undoubtedly decline, because it is inevitable.

It is also because of this that Ye Qiu has a wider layout, from ultrabooks to smart TVs to smart car control systems to cameras, watches, eyes, etc. At the same time, he is still developing voice control technology, which will be a very important item in the future technology, and Leaf Technology has seized the forefront of the market after the acquisition, the key is that there are still some problems to overcome.

"Remember to keep an eye on Motorola and Nokia for me. When they get into trouble, you remember to notify me and get ready to attack!" Ye Qiu sent this message.

This is what he had agreed with Elisa long ago. Motorola and Nokia are the two major patent giants in the mobile field. With the rise of the company, it is difficult to compete with Leaf Technology. This will allow Leaf Technology to maintain its core competitiveness for at least 20 years even if it fails to launch powerful products in the future.

In terms of patents, Leaf Technology has cooperated with Nokia, but Motorola seems to be in more trouble.

"I found that there seemed to be no other common topics between us except work."

After chatting about work, Eliza sent such a message full of embarrassment and helplessness. It is conceivable that she, who had chatted with Ye Qiu on the phone for nearly an hour, must be full of disappointment at this moment.

Is there really only work left between us?

This is not only Eliza's doubt, but also Ye Qiu's doubt.

"By the way, you just said that if I find a boyfriend, you will give me whatever I want?" Eliza asked again.

"Of course!" Ye Qiu replied without hesitation, but he couldn't help asking himself, is this really the case?

"Achu once told me that she thanked me for helping you so much, and also said that she would never let you treat me badly."

"She really said that? When?" Ye Qiu's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Huang Chu seemed to have given him such an illusion.

"That's when you guys came to San Francisco, so I had to think about what I needed."

"Then think about it carefully, you can do whatever you want!" Ye Qiu replied casually, but his mind was obviously not on the conversation.

"Then if I say I want you, is it okay?"

This message made Ye Qiu's hands tremble, and he almost dropped his phone on the desk.

"You didn't choke on the boiling water, did you? I was kidding you!" Soon, another message came, obviously explaining the previous one.

"It's okay, but if you want me, you'd better be able to afford the price, I'm very expensive!"

"Hee hee, how expensive? Make a price, I have plenty of money now!"

"Wow, I like rich women the most, please take care of me!"

Ye Qiu smiled, "Well, besides the price, I have to look at the person and inspect the product first. For the sake of old friendship, I can barely consider it at the age of 30, but if there is fat on the stomach or the figure is not good enough , I generally don’t accept it!”

"Starting today, I insist on swimming and fitness every day!"

"Boy, I want to inspect the goods, come to the United States alone, and see how I deal with you!"

"Wow, big sister, don't be too rough, be gentle!"

What came back was a bloody kitchen knife.

Half an hour later, in the distant San Francisco, USA, Eliza was sitting on the window sill of a heated room, wearing a sexy shirt, under the moonlight, looking at the screen of her mobile phone and giggling. She read Ye Qiu's text messages over and over again, making her feel hot all over.

She still doesn't know where she got the courage to talk nonsense with him just now, and she still feels very nervous when she thinks about it, but ever since Huang Chu said that to her, she knows very well that if she If they don't take the first step, with Ye Qiu's damn character, there will always be a sealed door between them.

Forgive me, Chu!
I love Ye Qiu, no less than you!

I swear, I will never, ever destroy your family!

I just want to love him well!
