The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 575
"Ha~~~"

Sitting up from the soft bed, Ye Qiu stretched a little sleepily, and yawned. I don't know if those so-called studies are true, but I heard that yawning can make people less sleepy.

Anyway, the world is full of so-called experts or researchers. God knows who to believe, just listen to them.

Walking off the bed, Ye Qiu continued to yawn and walked to the bathroom.

After playing against Arsenal at White Hart Lane last night, Ye Qiu specially let the team stay at White Hart Lane for a while and participated in some celebrations of the fans. Proud, even if the team's performance in the second half was not very satisfactory.

In fact, in such a dense schedule, the requirements for Tottenham Hotspur players to perform well and beat their opponents in terms of score are not ordinary, let alone Tottenham Hotspur , I believe it is impossible for any team in the world to do it.

After this match was over, Ye Qiu's original hanging heart finally came to an end.

Although Chelsea is still chasing Tottenham Hotspur, the [-]-point gap between the two teams makes it almost possible for Tottenham to win the Premier League championship ahead of schedule, and Chelsea may complete the reversal. Sex is only a theoretical possibility, and if Tottenham Hotspur want to lose the championship they have won, they will have to usher in a four-game losing streak.

For Tottenham, who have only lost one game so far this season, the possibility of a four-game losing streak is slim.

However, Ye Qiu still attaches great importance to the match against Chelsea on the weekend, because so far this season, Tottenham Hotspur have met Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and other strong teams, all of which have maintained a complete victory.

Some people may not be able to understand why, so to use the simplest example, why is Manchester United so strong?

Is it really just because this team is very good?

If so, then ask again, with the current lineup and strength of Arsenal, why can they still win the top four in the Premier League?

In fact, measuring the combat effectiveness of a team is definitely not just a measure of the team's lineup and strength, but some irrational factors should be added, such as the team's strong self-confidence, or similar to Manchester United and Arsenal. Accept this kind of temperament and self-confidence accumulated in the Premier League for a long time.

Sweeping out the Premier League giants and destroying all the giants in Europa, this is a way for Tottenham Hotspur to build up its self-confidence and establish its own kingly spirit, which can ensure that all strong teams will meet Tottenham Hotspur in the future , were all terrified.

And Ye Qiu had other thoughts more or less, that is, Chelsea performed well this season, especially in the second half. The team with the best performance even surpassed Tottenham Hotspur, which performed poorly in multi-line combat.

Ye Qiu still remembers that Ferguson once said that the most effective way to intimidate an opponent is to defeat him when he thinks he is the strongest. Even you have a strong shadow, and the shadow of the Red Devils Manchester United over the heads of the Premier League team is like this!
"It must be nice to have the white terror of Tottenham Hotspur hanging over the continent, right?"

While brushing his teeth and washing his face, Ye Qiu was thinking to himself.

After walking out of the bathroom, he entered the dressing room, changed his clothes, and when he went out again, Ye Qiu had to go back to the bed, tidy up the bedding on the bed, and turn off the air conditioner in the room.

I'm really not used to it!

In the past, his wife Huang Chu was doing these things. Every morning after waking up, he would go downstairs to have breakfast after washing his face, brushing his teeth and getting dressed. But now, the huge villa is empty, and he is the only one left. , I feel deserted when I go to bed at night, and even more so when I wake up in the morning.

In the past, when two mischievous brats were playing around at home, Ye Qiu would feel noisy, especially when he was reading the newspaper in the morning, those two brats would always chatter aside, and little Yechen would even climb onto Ye Qiu directly. , Pointing to the pictures in the newspaper and talking nonsense, every time it made Ye Qiu very angry.

But suddenly, he couldn't see the two children, and he always felt that something was missing in his heart.

One person gets up, one person goes downstairs, one person eats toast, one person warms the milk, all things are done by one person, and the whole family is left alone. This kind of deserted life is really not used to him.

Fortunately, the time will not be too long, just a week!

Ye Qiu drank the milk and gnawed on the bread, comforting himself in his heart.

One of Huang Chu's cousins ​​got married, and he came to London to invite him generously, so Huang Chu took the child, along with his parents, Huang Jinsong and his wife, and Ye Qiu's parents hadn't returned to China for a long time, so they also wanted to They went back to visit relatives, but they all left, leaving Ye Qiu alone.

It used to be lively and lively, but now it is deserted. It's really awkward to be alone in such a big house!
After breakfast, Ye Qiu drove straight to Theobald.

"Morning, Mr. Ye Qiu, isn't today a holiday? Are you still here?" The security guard on duty at the gate greeted Ye Qiu with a smile.

Ye Qiu who was sitting in the BMW shrugged his shoulders. He was always embarrassed to say that there was no one at home and it was very deserted. Or should he come to the club and get used to it?So I can only smile nonchalantly: "I have something to do, come back and have a look!"

This is also in line with Ye Qiu's work style, so the security guard didn't say much, and let him in after opening the door.

In fact, after coming to the club, he still didn't know what to do.

After playing against Arsenal, and then against Chelsea, the team has a one-week rest period, and for such a long period of time in the past, the team has been fighting on multiple fronts, so now there is more time, Ye Qiu will arrange the first team Both the coach and the coaching staff have a day off, so that they can take a good rest, and there are still several tough battles to be fought.

Chelsea on the weekend, followed by two Champions League games and a league game against Manchester United, these games are related to the success or failure of Tottenham Hotspur this season, and this week's rest time is for Tottenham Hotspur , is undoubtedly very important.

Not knowing what to do, Ye Qiu wandered around. In the morning, he went to the research center to chat with Peter Brandt, Peter Dewissel and others for a while, and then watched the Chelsea game video. In the afternoon, he went to the youth training camp. Watched a youth team game.

Tottenham Hotspur's youth team performed well this season. The U14 age group won the championship in the youth team league. In the second half of the team, the team introduced Patrick Roberts, Nick Powell, Dan Crawley, Ryan? Ledson and other teenagers play a big role.

In addition to the youth team, Tottenham Hotspur's reserve team performed very well. They won the Southern Reserve League Championship and will next play a final against the Northern Reserve League champion Manchester United's reserve team. If they win the championship, Tottenham Hotspur's reserve team will win the first reserve league championship in club history.

This is also the rule of the reserve league. The entire reserve league is divided into two different leagues, the south and the north. This is also to reduce the investment of the reserve team. Big, and adopting the north-south competition system can effectively shorten the toil of the competition and reduce investment.

Of course, even so, there are still many teams, even some Premier League teams, who have not participated in the Reserve League.

Tottenham Hotspur's reserve team has always had good results. This season's championship has a certain relationship with the outstanding performance of Nastasic, Varane, Pogba, Phil Jones and other players. Although it is the reserve team, there are also tickets for sale in fact. Many fans, especially those who are diehard but look down on the first team games, will choose to watch the reserve team league with low ticket prices. There are also first-team players.

Ye Qiu didn't have extra time to manage the reserve team, so Mauro Tassotti was in charge of the reserve team's games. This was also a chance for Mauro Tassotti to practice. Judging from the performance of the reserve team, Mauro Tassotti ? Tassotti's training and command are relatively successful, and he is also happy to accumulate more experience from such events.

After watching the youth team's game, Ye Qiu made a special trip to the locker room to meet with this group of players, and praised the group of lads who just won. , Eliza Moon called his cell phone.

A gray low-cut T-shirt, a black thin black suit, and a pair of sky blue jeans, and a pair of flip-flops on her beautiful feet, revealing the plump soles like pearls and jade. This is Ye When Qiu saw Eliza Moon, she was dressed like a French beauty, but what surprised Ye Qiu was her hair.

"When did you cut your hair?" Ye Qiu stood outside the kitchen of Eliza Moon's house, looking at Eliza Moon busy in the kitchen, he was surprised because she cut a haircut. Short, clean hair.

The improved BOBO head is only left to the ears, and the oblique bangs with a ratio of eight to two on the forehead are very patchwork, and some even cover the glasses, but it gives people a very capable and fresh temperament, and this oblique bangs The hairstyle, combined with the highlighted blond hair, coupled with that almost perfect face, has a different style than the usual long hair.

Especially the pair of thick black glasses, which give people a very playful feeling at first glance.

"How about it? I designed it myself, and I specially asked someone to cut it!" Eliza seemed very satisfied that his changes were noticed by him.

Ye Qiu smiled and said nothing, he is still not used to how to praise a woman face to face.

"Tell me, how do you feel?" Eliza seemed to attach great importance to his opinion.

Ye Qiu looked into her eyes and thought for a while, "It's okay!"

"It's not bad?" Eliza pouted, not sure if she was dissatisfied with Ye Qiu's rating, or felt that she did not look good, or disliked that the hair stylist was not good enough to achieve the effect she was satisfied with.

"You know, my requirements are relatively high, so if I say it's okay, I usually have ninety points!" Ye Qiu laughed.

After hearing this, Eliza smiled sweetly, and gave him an annoyed look, as if saying, forget it, let me forgive you.

"Why do you have time to go back to London?" Ye Qiu asked casually.

Unexpectedly, this sentence provoked a burst of coquettish anger, "Oh, of course you hope that I will help you to death in the United States. Can't I come back for a vacation?"

Ye Qiu laughed, "I didn't say that."

"I'm going to Finland!" Eliza said the answer herself.

Ye Qiu snorted, he knew that Eliza had only one purpose in going to Finland, and that was Nokia!

In recent years, with the strong rise of Leaf Technology and the hot sales of Zeus mobile phones, Nokia, as the overlord of traditional mobile phones, has been greatly challenged. According to the latest statistics from the international data company IDC, the shipment of smartphones worldwide Volume shows that the first half of 2010 is expected to reach 2000 million units, while the annual is expected to exceed 7000 million units.

This is because a number of new phones will be launched in the second half of the year, and according to the past habits of Leaf Technology, the third-generation Zeus mobile phone will be launched on the market on January [-] next year, and the second-generation Zeus mobile phone in the second half of the year may be appropriately priced and promoted. It will once again set off a wave of hot sales, driving the sales of the entire market.

According to the analysis of IDC, the Zeus mobile phone of Leaf Technology currently occupies the highest end of the market. It is estimated that the sales volume of Zeus mobile phones will exceed 3000 million units from the first half of the year to June, and the total annual sales volume is expected to reach about 8000 million units, accounting for To about 25% of the smart phone market, a direct threat to Nokia's smart phone market share of 29%.

With the promotion of the Android system in the past few years, Leaf Technology has attracted many mobile phone manufacturers to join in, making the promotion of the Android system very fast. At present, it has occupied 66% of the total smartphone market share, while Nokia's Cypress Class mobile phones accounted for 1%. Basically, except for Nokia mobile phones, no other mobile phones were used. The rest included Apple's IOS or Microsoft's WP system, accounting for 29% of the market.

In fact, the reason why Leaf Technology wants to attack Nokia at present is because the entire market is basically covered, and according to the market life cycle of a product, the current Zeus mobile phone and Android system have passed The start-up period is in the growth period and has not yet entered the mature period, let alone the recession period.

In other words, the Android system has been accepted and recognized by users all over the world. After the advantages accumulated in the past few years, the degree of product recognition, and a series of patent barriers, the development momentum of the Android system is still strong. It will maintain a very strong momentum, and with the help of this development momentum and inertia, the future market share will continue to expand.

It is precisely because of such an expectation that Leaf Technology dares to say that it will win Nokia.

You know, the consequences of winning Nokia are very serious, because in the past, Leaf Technology took a high-end route. Although it had conflicts of interest with mobile phone manufacturers such as Samsung and HTC, it was not too strong. Form more intense conflicts and competitions, which will definitely lead to their eccentricity.

But everything has to be looked at separately. Now Samsung and HTC are also cooperating with Microsoft to launch mobile phones with WP mobile phone system. Because they can’t put everything on Leaf Technology, so centrifugal has long been there, and for Leaf In terms of technology, the benefits gained from winning Nokia will far outweigh the losses.

"How did the talk go?" Ye Qiu asked with concern.

"Their market share is shrinking rapidly, and they haven't been able to find a strong new growth point for the time being, so Nokia's stock price has been falling for the past few years, and now it has fallen to about five euros, with a total market value of 200 billion euros Around, but this is certainly not Nokia's real market value, it still has a lot of water to continue to compress."

Nokia is a huge consortium with a total market value of more than 500 billion euros. Although it is now in decline, overall, it still has a lot of businesses that need to be reorganized, and their Symbian system is a little bit for Leaf Technology. It is useless, and its own development has come to a standstill. Coupled with the long-term losses of the joint venture between them and Siemens, the map business is also a heavy burden, so Nokia itself is already full of holes.

In Ye Qiu's previous life, many people wondered why Nokia suffered huge losses for two or three consecutive years. In fact, it was carrying out asset restructuring, cutting off some rotten meat, buying some valuable businesses, and then improving the quality of its property. get taller.

The side effect of this is that the financial statements are ugly, because no matter whether it is cutting meat or acquiring, there will be financial losses, and for a listed company, financial losses often represent a decline in stock prices.

Many people can't understand, why is this approach taken for two consecutive years?
Some people say that this is a conspiracy by Nokia CEO Elop from Microsoft. He is a Trojan horse injected into Nokia by Microsoft. This is simply treating the company’s board of directors as idiots. If Elop’s actions are not in their interests, do you think they Will you accept it?You know, Elop is nothing more than an outside CEO, he is an extension of the will of the board of directors!

Nokia does this, in the final analysis, there is only one purpose, to attract potential buyers!
Or some people will say, there are still people so stupid that they are so stupid that they lower the stock price to attract buyers?
Just imagine, if Nokia didn't do this, would anyone be willing to buy him?The answer is, no!

Because after the acquisition of Nokia, any company that takes over has to continue to do so. Isn't this equivalent to taking over a mess?Anyone do such a stupid thing?And if no one is willing to take over, Nokia is in the hands, the stock price is declining rapidly, and the company's value is shrinking rapidly, what will happen in the end?
Sometimes, as a decision-making management, the question considered is not how much I can earn, but whether I can lose less!
"This time, I had a good conversation with Nokia's management. They listened to our idea and expressed their willingness to consider it, but obviously, they still want to die," Eliza Moon said with a mysterious smile Get up, "But we don't need to worry, because now we have no competitors!"

This is also thanks to a message she released before.

A piece of news that shocked the whole world!
