The Godfather of Football

"You are so kind!"

After the team arrived in Seattle, Eliza Moon, who came all the way from San Francisco to Seattle, looked even angrier than Ye Qiu.

This delicate-looking beauty was like a grinning female tiger at this moment. She could not help clenching her pink fist and waving it in front of Ye Qiu's face, as if she would punch her opponent anytime and anywhere.

"What he did was clearly to cause trouble for you, to make the conflict between you and Abramovich public, to make you feel pressure, and possibly even shake the morale of your team. You just said a few words to him. What? If it were me, I would definitely tear off a few pieces of flesh from him and let him taste my power!"

At the end of the sentence, she had a murderous look on her face, as if she would not give up until she had a life-and-death fight with Pini Zahavi.

Ye Qiu had almost never seen her like this, and was a little surprised, but after hearing her words of defense, he felt warm in his heart. There is a saying, a kind word will warm you in winter, but a bad word will hurt you in June.

"That's not considered kind!" Ye Qiu said lightly, "I just tore off his mask. I believe everyone now knows what he wants to do. This will make him afraid to do anything for a long time. Otherwise, the fans will be the first to let him go.”

Even if Abramovich is really determined to fire Ye Qiu, he can do it now, because there is Pini Zahavi who can bear at least half of the pressure for him, but the question is, does he dare?

In fact, this strong Chelsea lineup is maintained by Ye Qiu. It was pulled out by Ye Qiu with his hands and feet. If one day, Ye Qiu leaves, it goes without saying that this team will still be what it is now. ? And what will all the fans think of Abramovich then? What do you think of Chelsea?

The reason why Florentino chilled all the head coaches back then was because he fired Del Bosque directly after the team won the championship!

It can be said that after this incident, all the famous coaches have to cherish their feathers and consider taking charge of Real Madrid, for fear that if they are not careful and capsize in the gutter of Real Madrid, their reputation will be ruined for a lifetime.

"Forget it, don't I know you well?" Eliza looked at Ye Qiu and sighed in her heart.

Ye Qiu has really matured and become more stable. At least he is different from when he was at Ajax, where he asked to resign at every turn. Now he is more thoughtful and knows how to safeguard his own interests.

If you just slap your butt and leave because of such a rumor, it may seem very enjoyable, but who is really unlucky?

All fans will be shocked by this. Is Ye Qiuzhan right? Where in the world is there no contradiction or conflict?

How do the players feel about such a head coach who has no bearing, or even no worries?

Who else will think highly of him in the future? Who dares to play football under him? Invite him to coach?

Resigning at any time is definitely not what a mature head coach should do, and now for Ye Qiu, he doesn't want to give up halfway because he wants to continue to lead this Chelsea team to challenge those who have not had anyone in decades. He will not leave for the time being unless Abramovich breaks out with him personally about the things he has challenged.

But if one day he wants to leave, no one will be able to keep him!

Ask yourself, Ye Qiu is not cowardly if he continues to stay. After all, he has resisted, and he is now at Chelsea. He has a group of players and fans who support him. It is not easy to build such a strong team. Maybe there is The opportunity to defend the Champions League and become the coach of three consecutive Champions League titles is a huge temptation for any professional player.

Besides, didn’t Abramovich say nothing?

"You'd better leave this matter alone. I'll handle it for you. This bastard has been secretly targeting me. I've been putting up with him for fear of causing trouble to you, but now it's better. He's dealing with you directly. This is absolutely not okay. , I must teach him a lesson this time!" Eliza Moon said through gritted teeth.

Ye Qiu was somewhat touched in his heart. This girl was really kind and kind to him. Needless to say, he was wronged, but she was even angrier than him. He patted Eliza on the shoulder. Ye Qiu walked out of the hotel room. He stood up on the sofa and said, "It's boring to fight with that kind of person. We don't need to do such self-degrading things, so don't interfere either!"

"Is it so cheap for him?" Eliza Moon felt annoyed.

Ye Qiu smiled slightly, "How is that possible? He offended our Miss Moon, and letting him go like this is too easy for him. But I think Pini Zahavi is too popular now. I heard that in After the team introduced Rooney, he also wanted to get involved. You know, Rooney's agent Stretford is not a fuel-saving lamp, let them make trouble!"

For Ye Qiu now, the most important thing is to ensure the stability and unity of the team. As for the agent's troubles, Ye Qiu can let them make troubles, but he really doesn't want Eliza to be involved.

"Is this considered killing someone with a borrowed knife?" Eliza's idiom was said in awkward Chinese. She kept smiling after saying it. It seemed that she agreed to Ye Qiu's proposal.

"Don't worry, good girl!" Ye Qiu patted Eliza's soft and boneless shoulder, "He'd better be careful. If I seize the opportunity, I will make it difficult for him to stand up and give him a taste. Taste my power!"

Eliza thought this guy was too sinister, but she liked it, so she kept laughing.

"By the way, tell me, why do you come so far to find me?" Ye Qiu simply put this matter aside for the time being.

It was okay if I didn’t say it, but as soon as I said it, Eliza’s whole face sank, pointing to her beautiful watery eyes, “Look, are they red and swollen, do you see any bloodshot eyes? , don’t you think I’m a lot older?”

Ye Qiu didn't dare to get too close. After all, no matter how good a friend is, there is a line between them, but he still pretended to look at it seriously and shook his head, "I don't feel it. His eyes are still so beautiful, and his skin is still the same." So supple and firm, oh, I discovered that you look better without makeup than with makeup, really!”

"Die!" Eliza almost knocked him down with a punch. "Do you know how troubled I am lately?"

"Tell me about it!" Ye Qiu sat down on the sofa opposite her again.

Eliza shook her head and said: "I found that Ye Zi Technology has a big, serious problem, very, very serious."

Ye Qiu didn't seem to be joking from her tone, and became serious. He didn't speak and just listened.

"After you talked with Andy Rubin and others, I have been paying attention to the progress, but I found that the progress is very slow. The reason is very simple. The organization and structure are too loose."

"How do you say that?" Ye Qiu frowned, seeming to realize something.

"Andy Rubin is really great at innovation and software, especially in terms of innovation. But the problem is that he lacks capabilities in hardware. Our company has hired a lot of software and hardware R\u0026D talents. Now in software The problem was solved very well and the progress was very fast, but the hardware has not made much breakthrough, especially in terms of integration.”

This is a big problem. There are so many parts in a mobile phone. If they are all loosely structured, the designed thing will not be much better. In the end, it will only become an assembled copycat phone. .

Ye Qiu had a hunch about this when he saw the prototype. In fact, Andy Rubin did not develop hardware at Google in his previous life. He basically used the method of authorizing mobile phone manufacturers to produce. Although There may be R\u0026D cost considerations, but Andy Rubin is indeed relatively weak in terms of hardware.

Not just him, but even the entire Android R\u0026D team is relatively weak in terms of hardware.

Seeing Ye Qiu's silence, Eliza continued: "I think we need a hardware design expert."

"Is there anyone available?" Ye Qiu felt troubled by this. The company was getting bigger and bigger. If he continued like this, he would really go bankrupt if he failed. But it was impossible for him to stop now!

Sometimes he believed in a saying: Wealth can be found in danger.

This does not mean taking risks, but an attitude. No one can guarantee whether they will make money before trying. I believe this is true even for Steve Jobs or Buffett. Every one of their Every plan is risky.

Now, such a good opportunity is in front of him. If he doesn't try it, Ye Qiu will look down on himself!

"Director of Apple's Hardware Design Department, Jonathan Ive!" Eliza suggested with a smile.

When Ye Qiu heard the name, his first reaction was Apple, because the sign was too dazzling for him, followed by Jonathan Ive, but he didn't have much impression. After hearing it, Asked: "Do you think he is suitable?"

Eliza nodded and said: "Since Steve Jobs returned to Apple, he has brought back a group of outstanding talents, such as Scott Forstall who is good at software development, Phil Schiller who is good at marketing, and There is Jon Rubinstein, who is currently in charge of Apple’s industrial design and R\u0026D, and they are all veterans of Steve Jobs.”

"Jonathan Ive was a former employee of Apple. He almost resigned before. But after Jobs returned to Apple, he dug him out and entrusted him with important tasks. He then developed a number of outstanding products. Including computers and IPOD, they are all designed by him.”

When Eliza said this, Ye Qiu remembered that he was a great man in his previous life. He still remembered that both the IPHONE and iPad were his industrial designs. Many Apple fans were full of praise for him. Later, after the unfortunate death of Steve Jobs, many people People also said that he might be Steve Jobs's successor.

"Is it possible for him to leave Apple?" Ye Qiu's first reaction was that it was impossible. It was like Scott Forstall, a software genius who regarded Steve Jobs as his spiritual godfather. How could he leave Apple?

"If Steve Jobs was here, maybe not necessarily, but now the possibility is very high, because Jonathan Ive and his immediate boss Jon Rubinstein have fallen out, and the two are said to have almost come to blows in the office. The reason It was the stubborn Rubinstein who restricted Jonathan Ive in everything, and he was always dissatisfied with Ive's overstepping behavior of avoiding him and directly taking responsibility for Jobs, so Jonathan Ive personally told me that he might leave Apple. "

"Do you know him?" Ye Qiu was surprised.

"What do you think I've been doing here for half a year?" Eliza's lips curled up in a cute and charming way, feeling a little proud.

Ye Qiu remembered it now. He heard that the two were at loggerheads, especially after Jobs was diagnosed with cancer and underwent surgery to recuperate, and the company's affairs were handed over to Cook, who was not able to convince the public. It can be said that there was chaos within Apple, but after Jobs returned in 2005, when Jonathan Ive personally confessed that he could only choose one of the two, Jobs chose Ive over the conservative Rubinstein.

However, although Jobs's decision at the time proved to be wise later, it caused quite a bit of controversy, because the design concept of Apple's most successful product, IPOD, came from Tony Fadell, who was the one who discovered and discovered it all. As a result, Rubinstein was called the father of IPOD.

Nowadays, IPOD is a very important source of Apple's income. It can be imagined how high Rubinstein's status is within Apple.

"Dig!" Ye Qiu nodded without hesitation. If he didn't dig at such a good opportunity, when would he dig?

"OK!" Eliza Moon nodded in agreement, but soon she added: "The design and development department has Andy Rubin for software and Jonathan Ivey for hardware. I believe the problem is not big, but we should now Establish a complete marketing network and sales channels as soon as possible and build our own marketing system.”

Ye Qiu continued to remain silent, and he brought his ears.

"This is a list I drew up, take a look!" As she said this, she handed over a report.

The first page of the report is the brand strategy director, Keith Pardee from Coca-Cola. I heard that she has been with Coca-Cola for more than ten years. She hopes to rely on Keith Pardee’s rich experience in building big brands to help Yezi Technology. Build your own brand.

The head of digital marketing is Brian Wallace from RIM BlackBerry. I heard that the reason why BlackBerry suddenly became popular was that a series of marketing strategies after the 9/11 incident came from Brian Wallace, and he also created BlackBerry has been brilliant in recent years.

The global advertising director is from WIEDEN \u0026 KENNEDY advertising company, which is Nike's global partner. Many Nike advertisements that were regarded as classics came from this company, and this woman named Rebecca Van Dyke is from this company. The company's executive specializes in Nike advertising.

In addition, the person in charge of retail channels is Todd Pendleton from Nike, who is also a professional who is proficient in retail channels and publicity and marketing. I heard that Nike's performance has improved by leaps and bounds in recent years, and he has contributed a lot to it.

Ye Qiu looked at the list, his eyes sparkled, and he secretly asked, "Can these people be poached?" And he also wanted to ask, how high a salary could he get?

"Jonathan Ive's annual salary at Apple is US$700,000, and other people's annual salary is almost the same. In fact, our company is not small now. With the launch of FACEBOOK, we can be regarded as an instant hit. What follows? Naturally, we need to keep up with publicity and promotion. There is a lot of room for development and it has a strong appeal to them." Of course Eliza could guess what Ye Qiu, a stingy man, was worried about.

"As for Jonathan Ivey, he is a Londoner. He has heard of you and is interested in you and our company's R\u0026D projects, so it is not a big problem to impress him to join, but by then he may bring Own hardware design team.”

"It would be best to poach more talents from Apple!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Seeing Ye Qiu's snobby look, Eliza glared at him angrily, "One more thing, I want to hire a COO, which is the chief operating officer, for the company!"

The chief operating officer's job is to be responsible for the day-to-day affairs and operations of the company and report directly to the CEO.

"Wait a minute!" Ye Qiu had a headache from what she said, "You hired a COO, what are you going to do?"

"Control the overall situation, take care of the European business, and accompany you, the big boss of the company!" Eliza seems to be planning to share all the company's large and small affairs like the brokerage company, and establish a set of With a complete management system, she can then put down her burden and live her petty bourgeois life comfortably.

But this also reminded Ye Qiu of a saying, a wise man talks, a fool takes action!

"Okay, I don't want you to be too tired. Tell me, who is it?"

"Shelly Sandberg, Vice President of Internet Sales at Google, MBA from Harvard University, once held important positions in the World Bank and the U.S. Treasury Department, and what is even more rare is that she is an all-rounder, including sales, marketing, acquisitions, and cooperation. , finance, networking, public policy and external liaison.”

"How do you know?" Ye Qiu had no impression of this person at all.

"I've known her for three or four months, and she lives in San Francisco."

Ye Qiu now really wants to dig out this girl's head to see what's inside, but he has to admit that this girl is really powerful. If it weren't for her this time, he would probably have invested so much in it. I'm afraid it's going to collapse. Bankruptcy may not be possible, but at least it's certain to suffer big losses.

Eliza has always given Ye Qiu the impression of a very demanding woman. From the fact that she personally recommended these people and gave such high praise, he can imagine that these people are definitely not weak in ability. With their joining , which is beneficial to Yezi Technology’s corporate management, daily operations, innovative research and development and financial control.

The arrival of Jonathan Ive can improve the shortcomings of the mobile phone R\u0026D department in hardware integration and lack of innovation. The establishment of a marketing team can gradually shape the entire marketing team of Yezi Technology, and all this is very important. Obviously they are the key to the success of this next mobile phone and the company's many businesses and plans.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiu couldn't help but secretly rejoice. At first, he thought things were too simple and took things for granted. It was only now that he discovered that the success of a company or the hot sales of a product had such a huge influence behind it. A process system from R\u0026D and design to marketing network.

What made him most fortunate was that he had Eliza to help him, especially since this girl was really loyal to him. Needless to say, sometimes when he thought about it seriously, he really felt that he owed her a lot.

"How's it going, boss?" Eliza seemed to feel that Ye Qiu's eyes were warm when he looked at her, and his pink face turned slightly rosy, which made her feel satisfied.

No matter how much she does and how much she cares, what she actually wants may just be a touching look.

"I have made an agreement with Andy Rubin and others. As long as you nod, I will get started!"

After hearing this, Ye Qiu immediately smiled, "You have thought of everything, how can I still refuse?"

"Haha!" Eliza laughed immediately, breathed a deep sigh of relief, and said something that almost made Ye Qiu fall over, "I can finally be liberated!"
