The Godfather of Football

When Ye Qiu and Huang Chu, accompanied by Eliza, drove to the headquarters of Ye Zi Technology, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone around them. This was not only because of the two super beauties Eliza and Huang Chu, but also because of Ye Qiu and Huang Chu. Autumn.

Everyone knows that the boss of Ye Zi Technology is Ye Qiu, but not many people actually see him in the company. This is mainly because Ye Qiu doesn’t come often, and even when he does come, he usually comes and goes in a hurry. Basically, It is difficult for other people to meet with senior executives, heads of R\u0026D departments, or some important technical department personnel.

Ye Ye Technology is now a big business, everything is big, there are so many employees, especially new employees joining every day, so quite a lot of people only know Eliza Moon as the company's chief CEO, but not at all. Meet Ye Qiu.

However, once you think about the fact that the beautiful CEO of the company can drive you to and from the company in person, your identity is not difficult to guess.

"It's your first time, Ah Chu!" Eliza stood next to Huang Chu and saw the astonished eyes of the company queen. She was obviously surprised by the size of the company and the beauty of the surrounding environment.

She had seen the renderings before, but everyone knew that if the renderings were reliable, a sow could climb a tree. But this time she really discovered that the renderings were not very different from reality. The entire company's buildings The environment is just like in the painting.

"Let's go!" Ye Qiu took the lead and walked in front.

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

Just when they were about to enter the company headquarters, they heard a bicycle bell ringing in the distance, and saw a guy dressed as a bicycle athlete, riding a bicycle, rushing over quickly, and in front of Ye Qiu and the others, he There was a sudden braking, and it looked like he was going to 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 helmet, revealing his smooth brain. These were the two brains that impressed Ye Qiu most among all his friends and company employees. One is Andy Rubin, the founder of Android, and the other is Peter Kenyon, CEO of Tottenham Hotspur.

"I'm planning to work on a new project now, a smart bicycle!" Andy Rubin introduced 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 wild navigation, text messaging, and taking pictures. What do you think?"

I bet this guy rushed over in such a hurry just to mention his idea to Ye Qiu, but he was indeed a super cycling fan, so Ye Qiu didn't feel strange at all about his proposal.

"Then you plan to use the 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 also to solve the problem of the entire power generation loss. I have done the math. The power generation itself consumes a lot of energy, and It may increase the resistance of the bike moving forward, which is something we need to address. ”

After hearing this, Ye Qiu immediately shook his head and laughed, "By the way, Andy, you said before 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 ready. No?"

When Andy Rubin heard this, he felt as if a bucket of icy cold water had been poured down on his whole body. Any passion was extinguished. He spread his hands and hesitated a little embarrassedly, "Soon, soon!"

The Android system is now divided into multiple layers. Although Ye Ye 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 has authority, but it only stays at the surface level. Only Ye Ye Technology can move 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 like in the previous life. IFTTT will further integrate the entire mobile phone system and build a complete set of mobile phone systems through cloud services. Android ecological chain.

Nowadays, Yezi Technology is doing almost everything, and its scale is getting bigger and bigger. In addition to Zeus mobile phones and tablets that are about to be launched, a series of very popular websites and software on the Internet, such as FACEBOOK, Twitter, and YOUTUBE, all belong to Yezi. Technology, and with the launch of mobile phones, Yezi Technology has also integrated all resources and once again launched its own mailbox, blog, browser, input method, news website, etc.

But both Ye Qiu and Eliza feel that although too much business cannot be considered a bad thing, it cannot 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 it requires constant integration.

"Andy, I am also very optimistic about your smart bicycle project!" Ye Qiu also admired this creative genius very much. "Well, I promise to let you research smart bicycles, but the premise is that you must complete the work on hand as soon as possible. It’s work that can only be studied in free time, OK?”

"Very OK!" Andy Rubin agreed with a smile. He is a bicycle fanatic. He rides a bicycle to and from work, and even rides a bicycle when traveling. If he can really develop a bicycle like that as he said, it seems not bad.

The key is that such research and development does not actually require too much investment. Hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars of research and development are a drop in the bucket for Leaf Technology, but it is more important than anything else to allow this innovation fanatic to work with peace of mind.

He walked into the company headquarters and went directly to the conference room. The heads of the company's major departments were already waiting for him in the conference room.

This was the first time that Huang Chu 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 of the heads of the major departments alone, and some of them were Chinese. When they saw her, they greeted her in Chinese.

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

According to COO Sandberg, Leaf Technology has completed an acquisition every fifty days on average over the past year or so, with the amount basically ranging from tens of millions to hundreds of millions of dollars. The acquisition of two semiconductor companies cost about 200 million dollars each.

But there is a payoff, and Leaf Technology is fully capable of making mobile device chips for tablets.

From mobile phones to tablets, this is a whole set of naturally formed product chain layouts. As early as more than a year ago, Ye Qiu had discussed with Eliza and the company's management that once the tablet business is stable, the company will also launch Android laptops, and even the concept has already been proposed.

The whole concept was proposed by Ye Qiu, who directly plagiarized Microsoft's Surface, made the keyboard of the notebook into a protective cover, adopted a full touch keyboard design, and the notebook screen also adopted a touch design. This idea has been admired by all the company's senior executives, including Jonathan Ive, and quickly formed a concept and had a special R\u0026D team.

At the same time, the research and development of smart TVs is also proceeding in an orderly manner. In addition, the research and development of smart cameras, smart watches, smart glasses, etc. are also being carried out at the same time, but what has attracted the attention of the outside world is another business, the smart car system.

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

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

However, the Android system entering the car is not only limited to entertainment media playback. Leaf Technology is developing a comprehensive intelligent operating system that integrates environmental sensing, multi-functional assisted driving and other functions. Its short-term goal is to improve the safety, comfort and convenience of car operation, and provide a better driving experience of human-vehicle interaction. An important part of this is voice control, so Leaf Technology acquired a voice control company.

2008 was a year of Internet technology stocks plummeting. Apple, Google, and Yahoo all plummeted. However, Leaf Technology, with the hot sales of Zeus mobile phones, had a huge cash flow, so it was a great time to buy at the bottom. This time, the company set its sights on Nuance, the global leader in voice recognition. Siri, which was later acquired by Apple, actually used their technology, and the current market value of this company is expected to be between 1.5 billion and 2 billion US dollars.

But with it, Leaf Technology will further expand its business scope and core competitiveness, especially in the future mobile phone voice recognition, car system voice recognition and other aspects, almost grabbing the commanding heights, and the future market will be absolutely amazing.

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

The popularity of Zeus mobile phones has made the Android system very popular. With the participation of other mobile phone manufacturers, the Android system is being promoted and popularized at a very fast speed. With such a platform, the promotion of other software and hardware of Leaf Technology has been greatly facilitated, and it has also brought great challenges to other competitors.

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

Because the entire R\u0026D system is getting bigger and bigger, Leaf Technology's acquisitions are also increasing. On average, one acquisition will be completed every fifty days. Once the tablet computer is launched, plus the formation of many other projects, it is expected that in 2009, one acquisition will be completed almost every month, because many companies have entered the vision of Leaf Technology, just waiting for the right time to complete the acquisition and integration.

Not only that, Yezi Technology has also reached a cooperation agreement with the Chinese government. The two parties will be committed to developing 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 feedback the traffic information ahead in real time based on the driving situation and direction of the vehicle you are driving, and will also send some official news. , such as information on road construction, congestion, route restrictions, etc. Even in the event of an emergency, the traffic police can directly transmit the information to the terminal for traffic command.

In addition, traffic police can also conduct traffic control through messages 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 obtain real-time traffic information in the shortest time. In addition, it is a process To collect tolls, you basically don’t need to park anymore, just pass through, and the system will automatically collect and record them.

Currently, this system will be piloted in Xiamen. If successful, it will be gradually promoted. Leaf Technology will not be directly involved in the production of navigation hardware, but will provide technology and software to support the production of domestic manufacturers. The government and Leaf Technology will also start from the sales of navigation devices. Earn a commission to maintain the operation of the entire intelligent transportation system.

Moreover, Yezi Technology will integrate this series of services into the smart car system, and the prospects are very promising.

China is the world's largest automobile consumer market in the future, and the prospects are huge.

Leaf Technology has acquired a number of digital map companies. This is not just to avoid over-reliance on cooperation with Google, as outsiders say, but also to take a fancy to the huge market prospects of the entire smart car business.

Youdao is like a mountain. Huang Chu is undoubtedly an outstanding neurosurgeon, but when she walked into Ye Ye Technology, it was as if she had walked into an alien planet that did not belong to the earth at all. What she saw was... What she heard was full of incredible things, 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.

"You're surprised, right?" 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'm surprised that he can't tell at all!" Huang Chu was a little at a loss.

Perhaps, this was the first time she discovered that there were so many things about her husband that she thought she knew very well, that she didn't know at all. However, this was also caused by her usual lack of care about Ye Zi Technology. , she didn’t even know what the Zeus phone looked like until Ye Qiu changed his phone.

"Yeye Technology has reached this day, and it has completely exceeded everyone's expectations, including me, and I believe it also included him. Our business has completely exceeded our control, so let's not talk about you. Sometimes Even I, who watched it come out step by step, was surprised and incredible.”

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

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 will automatically turn on, the curtains will automatically open, and the balcony sliding door will automatically open. .

Gradually, she has become accustomed to living in such an environment, so much so that she has been living in London recently, but she is not used to it, thinking that she has to do everything by herself.

"I feel like these are only in science fiction movies!" Huang Chu smiled bitterly. She found that she couldn't keep up with Ye Qiu.

After hearing this, Eliza took her best friend's hand and said, "Actually, you don't need to think too much. You should know that the most important thing for him is to help him maintain a warm and comfortable home. Never mind the other things!"

Huang Chu also nodded. It wasn't that she didn't understand many things, but that she didn't like to ask about them. For example, the development of the Huangtian Group and her ability to become the richest man in China actually had a strong connection with Ye Qiu. Shadow, and even Huang Jinsong said that without Ye Qiu, the Huangtian Group would never have achieved even half of what it has achieved today.

And for Ye Qiu now, Huangtian Group is no longer even important.

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

Huang Chu could also see that Ye Qiu usually didn't have much thought to take care of the company's affairs. Eliza was helping him behind everything. It can be said that Ye Qiu is undoubtedly the key figure for Ye Zi Technology to be what it is today. , but Eliza is also crucial, both of them are indispensable.

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

"Eliza, thank you so much for helping us all these years, really!" Huang Chu gently patted Eliza's hand. The two of them were originally very good girlfriends, but the intimacy at this moment had a different meaning, especially for Eliza, who was a little panicked and at a loss.

"Don't be silly, I'm doing this for myself, right? I have a high salary and a good job here, and I don't know how free and easy it is!"

Although she 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 go home at night, or came back drunk in the middle of the night. There were even a few times when you could easily smell other women's perfume from him.

But mother Chu Yun never minded at all, often as if nothing had happened. Huang Chu once asked her mother with doubts, why?

Chu Yun smiled and said, "A man is like a little bird in your palm. If your man shines brightly, you should let go and let him fly, because such a man is destined not to be held in your palm and cared for, but you can be his nest, and when he is tired of flying outside, he will come back by himself!"

"Those men who always hide in your palm and need your care and care are destined to hide behind you for a lifetime. Not only can they not protect you, but they also need you to protect them in return."

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

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