The Godfather of Football

In the days before the Champions League final, London had continuous sunny weather, which made the originally humid city of London hot, especially in the week before the end of the Premier League and the Champions League final, almost the entire London's discussion focus was on the upcoming Champions League final.

But on the day of the Champions League final, there was no sunshine in the morning. The sky was overcast and the momentum was overwhelming. There was a sense of tension and danger that a storm was about to hit, and it also announced that this night's world-renowned focus battle would most likely become a muddy battle under heavy rain.

This made every fan walking on the streets of London a little worried, especially those Bayern Munich fans who came from afar. They didn't know London at all, so they looked worried, because they felt that if it was under such heavy rain, could Bayern Munich still beat Tottenham Hotspur?

Only those who are familiar with London know that the weather at this moment is nothing. In a blink of an eye, the dark clouds may disperse and the naughty sun will come out again. They also think that rain games are good for Tottenham Hotspur because they are more familiar with rain games, so it is better to rain.

On the day of the final, everything that was supposed to come had already come. In the past two or three days, more than 100,000 foreign fans from all over the world have poured into London. In addition to local Tottenham Hotspur fans, fans can be seen everywhere on the streets of London, and the atmosphere of the final has become extremely warm.

Britain and Germany, as the most powerful opponents in the two world wars, plus the blood debts between the two countries' football in the past few decades, there is no need to deliberately provoke the antagonism between the fans of the two countries, because as long as the German team is playing, all British fans will support it, because it is a mortal enemy, a mortal enemy to the death!

The last time the Champions League final was held in Munich, Germany, the final opponents were still Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich, but that time the British fans played away and received special hospitality from the home team fans, so this time, the final venue was changed to London, and the English fans also reciprocated.

As early as a week ago, the German Bayern Munich fans mobilized thousands of people to enter the city of London in an organized manner, waving the German flag and occupying Trafalgar Square, which made the citizens of London very dissatisfied, because the monument to commemorate the victims of the World War II gap was nearby, and Churchill's military secret room, the headquarters of the British war against Germany at that time, was on the south side of the square.

Therefore, some German media raised the banner with great fanfare, saying that the historical mission that the German army failed to complete more than 70 years ago will be completed by German football 70 years later, and this time, we will capture London! !

German fans provoked British fans so loudly, and British fans were also unwilling to be outdone.

If you walk in London, you will find that many British fans have hung a red poster outside their windows with the words "Keep Calm and Keep Going". This is exactly the poster that the British Ministry of Information secretly made in the early days of World War II to boost the morale of the country.

The British media fought back, "You will not only fail like you did 70 years ago, but this time you will lose more miserably and more unbearably than 70 years ago!"

The historical grievances between the two countries, coupled with the disputes between the fans of the two countries, have made the whole of London seem to be in a tense situation on the eve of the war before the Champions League final has started. In particular, the police in London are trembling on every street and intersection, fearing that a conflict between fans may occur accidentally.

It was in this atmosphere that the Chinese Premier arrived in London by connecting flight. This time he came to London at the invitation of British Prime Minister Cameron and UEFA President Platini.

After arriving at Heathrow Airport, he immediately went to the Chiswick Office Park in west London for inspection.

This is a piece of property in Tottenham Hotspur. In the past few years, this office park has become the first stop for many Chinese companies to enter Europe. About 70% of the tenants here are Chinese companies and offices. So after arriving in London, ****** took the lead in conducting an investigation here to understand the situation here.

Two years ago, Ye Qiu set up a Chiswick consulting service company specifically to help all tenant companies, provide them with various conveniences and consultations, and even help them deal with some disputes and problems. This made ****** greatly appreciate it and believed that it would be of great help to Chinese companies entering London, the European financial center.

When he heard that the Chiswick Office Park would carry out the second phase of the project, he expressed his strong support and encouraged more Chinese companies to settle in, hoping that the park could help more Chinese companies enter the European market.

Immediately afterwards, he visited Chinatown in the dock area.

Chinatown has now developed into a famous tourist attraction in London. The buildings here are all in old Chinese style. There are shopping streets with various special products from China, authentic food streets from all over China, and some very distinctive traditional buildings such as ancient Chinese gardens and temples.

This is a theme park that showcases traditional Chinese culture to Britain and Europe, and it is also a newly emerging Chinese gathering place in London. It attracted worldwide attention as early as during the London Olympics. This time, with the arrival of ******, it is bound to attract the attention of domestic media again.

The trip to London's Chinatown was immediately warmly welcomed by the Chinese in the city and small business owners from China. The Chinese even prepared many festival performances, such as dragon and lion dances, many of which are iconic performances in Chinatown. Also received appreciation and encouragement.

Afterwards, the Prime Minister and his party came to the Zhenhua Hotel near Stratford Stadium. They will rest here at noon and evening today. Chen Zhong, the general manager of Huangtian Group, is also on the visiting delegation. Along the way are He introduced it to the Prime Minister, and during the lunch break they also made a special trip to the Leaf Technology Data Cloud and Tottenham Hotspur's Stratford Stadium.

In the afternoon, the Prime Minister and British Prime Minister Cameron held an informal meeting at the Zhenhua Hotel. Cameron highly praised Ye Qiu's contribution and help to British football and believed that during the World War, Chinese workers helped the British. Defeated Germany, and this time, it was the Chinese who helped Britain defeat Germany.

****** said with a smile that during the World War, China exported Chinese workers, who paid for their physical strength and even their lives, but now China exports outstanding talents like Ye Qiu, who rely on capital, brain power and wisdom. , this means that China has undergone earth-shaking changes compared with the past, and it is no longer the China during the World War.

The leaders of the two countries also reiterated their intention to work together to further promote trade and exchanges between the two countries.

After meeting Cameron, ****** and his party made a special trip north to visit Theobald.

Ye Qiu personally came to the gate to greet him, and accompanied him to inspect the entire Theobald. Along the way, he introduced everything in the training base, from the youth training camp to the first team to the mysterious research center. Ye Qiu gave a brief and concise summary of everything. introduction.

Then they had a private communication in the pavilion in the artificial lake in Theobald's Central Park.

"Now the domestic semiconductor industry has begun to catch up and is developing very rapidly. We will not forget your outstanding contribution in the entire process, but we still hope that you can further expand domestic investment, especially in some high-end industries, such as operations System, you know, the Snowden incident in recent days has given us a big wake-up call.”

Ye Qiu could feel a hint of helplessness from these words, because many domestic fields are still far behind foreign countries. After all, we are latecomers, and others have the advantage of being first movers, and intellectual property rights are reserved for latecomers. Layers of barriers have been set up, and today is a world belonging to the industrial system, which is no longer the agricultural era of the past.

In the era of agricultural civilization, you could rely on one person, one pair of hands, and one factory to create excellent products, such as porcelain, tea, etc. However, in the era of industrial civilization, what matters is the supporting system. Behind any product is It is a set of huge supporting systems that serve and operate silently.

Today is the Internet era. Software such as operating systems and the semiconductor industry are undoubtedly at the top of the supporting system. They are also the biggest and most disparate area between China and European and American countries, and they are also the areas they protect most closely.

In the semiconductor industry, over the past few years, Ye Qiu has consciously cultivated some domestic talents and gradually transferred industries and R\u0026D centers. There have been opportunities to catch up in the country, but it is still very weak in terms of operating systems and is almost dominated by Microsoft. , Yezi Technology’s Android can only occupy a very small market share with ultrabooks.

Microsoft has announced that their XP system will cease service in 2014. This is a very good opportunity for Yezi Technology, especially since XP still has a very large user base around the world, and Microsoft later Several generations of products have not shown revolutionary progress, but the user experience is very poor, so many users are not willing to upgrade.

If YeZi Technology can further promote its Android system and enter the core PC field, the foundation of the Microsoft empire will be completely shaken. Once YeZi Technology gains a firm foothold, relying on YeZi Technology's huge user base, it will gradually devour Microsoft's market share.

"This matter is very troublesome and requires a long period of preparation!" The transfer of Yezi Technology in the semiconductor industry had already caused huge controversy, and even Yezi Technology was forced to submit a fine of over 100 million yuan. Although the company has grown from China's huge market Huge rewards were obtained, and fines were only a trivial part of it, but the US government has obviously begun to pay attention to this aspect.

It might not be easy to move again now.

"But our strategy is to enter the PC market in a big way, so next we will further promote the personal computer operating system and launch a comprehensive competition with Microsoft. Lenovo has also decided to enter into a partnership with us. We believe that this aspect is still very good. To be competitive, it only takes some time to invest in China.”

"I know that we can also cooperate with you on some things, such as taking some actions against you!"

Ye Qiu laughed after hearing this. The previous transfer of the semiconductor business was not very smooth, but the government used the excuse of investigating Ye Zi Technology's monopoly and severely "beaten" Ye Zi Technology. Then Ye Zi Technology hired people to go to the United States for public relations and repeatedly emphasized that China The importance of the market, and then had to make some compromises, so the US government turned a blind eye.

Even now, many ordinary people still don’t know what happened here. They just think that the Ministry of Commerce of China launched an anti-monopoly investigation into Yezi Technology, then fined a symbolic amount of money, and then everything was fine. , and Ye Ye Technology is still making a fortune in China, and its business is getting bigger and bigger.

…………

…………

No one knew that Ye Qiu had communicated with him in private, and after the two briefly talked for a while, Theobald's visit continued, specifically meeting the Tottenham Hotspur players and extending a welcome to them. .

"They just told me that you are going to visit China this summer. I think this is very good. I will look forward to your arrival in BJ, and I sincerely hope that you can come to China more often, and even to China. Playing in the league will help the development of our football career in China.”

After a pause, he continued: "I think your team is very good, very excellent. You are all from different countries, but you are well united. From you, I see What we get is a kind of tolerance, an equal and friendly way of getting along with each other from different regions, different countries and different cultures.”

"And this concept is precisely the concept of peace of our Chinese nation. Therefore, they are right. You are a team with a strong Chinese color. I believe you can win tonight, and I will also In the stands, cheer for you and cheer for you!”

"No matter how you win or lose, you are the best football team in the world!"

Tottenham Hotspur gave a polite round of applause.

Then when leaving Theobald, he accepted another interview with reporters. Regarding Merkel's public support for Bayern Munich, Cameron publicly supported Tottenham Hotspur and said with a smile that he was neutral.

"I think whether Tottenham Hotspur wins or Bayern Munich wins, it is a victory for European football!"

After the visiting delegation left Theobald, the team took a good rest for a while, and then the whole team got on the Scania luxury bus, left Theobald, and headed to northwest London. Wembley Stadium.

This time Tottenham Hotspur did not take the outer ring road, but went directly south, entered Northumberland, passed through Enfield, Tottenham and other areas, and then turned west and passed Brent reservoir, and finally arrived at Wembley Stadium, a journey of nearly thirty kilometers, but it mobilized Tottenham Hotspur fans across Northumberland.

When Tottenham Hotspur arrived at Wembley Stadium, they were followed by a long queue of people. Many of them were local fans who had not been able to enter Wembley Stadium, but they still used this method to bid farewell to the expedition soldiers. way, they sent Tottenham Hotspur to Wembley Stadium. Even after the Tottenham Hotspur bus entered the player tunnel, they were still singing and shouting loudly outside to build momentum for Tottenham Hotspur. Cheer.

At this moment, at Stratford Stadium, the new stadium, which can gather more than 80,000 fans, is also full for the first time. There are a total of 80,000 fans who are fortunate to be able to enter this new stadium for free. stadium to watch the highlight battle between Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich.

On the huge LCD screen, there was a live broadcast of the Tottenham Hotspur bus arriving at the stadium, as well as a long queue of people outside the stadium, and the shouts of Tottenham Hotspur fans wearing white jerseys. , appeared on the huge screen at Stratford Stadium, and the entire stadium suddenly erupted in deafening cheers, as if echoing from east to west.

I believe that at this moment, the entire city of London and all the fans are cheering and nervous for the upcoming battle.

Bayern Munich head coach Heynckes mentioned in an interview before the game that Tottenham Hotspur is very strong, but Bayern Munich has enough experience to defeat opponents stronger than itself.

Beckenbauer also said in an interview with the media before the game that compared with last season, Bayern Munich this season is stronger because they dare to press forward when they encounter weak teams and use ball-controlling offensive tactics. When it comes to teams that are better than them, Bayern Munich can shrink back and play defensive counterattacks.

The two-round double defeat of Barcelona was regarded as Heynckes' warm-up match for Tottenham Hotspur. Judging from these two rounds, whether Bayern Munich pressed forward to attack or retreated to defend, They are all very good, and the combination of offense and defense is very tight.

But many who support Tottenham have also taken a dissenting view.

Ferguson, who has announced his retirement from Manchester United and asked Moyes to replace him, will accept the invitation from Sky TV to serve as the British commentator for this game. He arrived at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Make predictions.

"Bayern Munich is undoubtedly very balanced offensively and defensively, but I still feel that Tottenham Hotspur will have a greater chance of winning in this game because their offense and defense are also quite balanced, and Tottenham Hotspur have extremely rich qualities. With experience in the Champions League, I think that as long as Tottenham performs stably, they have a greater chance of winning.”

"Of course, as the saying goes, there is no good game in the final. Both sides will definitely be more cautious in this game, and both may make some mistakes. So the key is to see who makes fewer mistakes and who is better at taking advantage of the opponent's mistakes. Create opportunities.”

"From this point of view, Tottenham Hotspur also has a certain advantage, but I want to say that no one can predict the result of the game, because these two teams can almost be said to be the most comprehensive and most balanced teams in today's football. Who can win depends entirely on their on-the-spot performance."

"But this can't be a wonderful game because this is the Champions League final!"
