Chapter 575 One Person

"Ha~~~~"

Sitting up from the soft bed, Ye Qiu stretched a little sleepily and yawned. He didn't know if those so-called studies were true. He 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 it.

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

After playing Arsenal at White Hart Lane last night, Ye Qiu specially asked the team to stay at White Hart Lane for a while and participated in some celebrations of the fans. They were all proud of the team's double kill of Arsenal this season, even if the team's performance in the second half was not very ideal.

In fact, in such a dense schedule, it is really demanding to want Tottenham Hotspur players to perform well and beat their opponents in terms of score. Let alone Tottenham Hotspur, I believe that no team in the world can do it.

After the game, Ye Qiu's heart, which was originally hanging, finally fell.

Although Chelsea is still chasing Tottenham, the 12-point gap between the two teams means that Tottenham can almost be said to have won the Premier League championship in advance. The possibility of Chelsea's reversal is only theoretical, and if Tottenham wants to lose the championship, it will have to face four consecutive defeats.

For Tottenham, who have only lost one game so far this season, the possibility of four consecutive defeats is very small.

However, Ye Qiu still attaches great importance to the weekend game against Chelsea, because so far this season, Tottenham has encountered strong teams such as Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool, and all have remained undefeated.

Perhaps some people cannot understand why, so let's use the simplest example, why is Manchester United so strong?

Is it really just because this team is very strong?

If so, then ask another question, with Arsenal's current lineup and strength, why can it still get the top four in the Premier League?

In fact, measuring a team's fighting power is definitely not just about measuring the team's lineup and strength, but also about adding some irrational factors, such as the team's strong self-confidence, or the temperament and confidence accumulated by long-term dominance in the Premier League, like Manchester United and Arsenal.

Sweeping away all the Premier League giants and destroying all the giants in Europe, this is a way for Tottenham Hotspur to build up its own confidence and establish its own kingly demeanor, which can ensure that all strong teams will be terrified when they meet Tottenham Hotspur in the future.

And Ye Qiu more or less has some other ideas, that is, Chelsea has performed well this season, especially in the second half, and has performed very well, frequently defeating opponents by a large score. Ancelotti's team can be said to be the best team in the second half, even surpassing Tottenham Hotspur, which has poor performance in multiple battles.

Ye Qiu still remembered that Ferguson once said that the most effective way to intimidate an opponent is to defeat him when he thinks he is the strongest. This can completely dampen the opponent's spirit and make the opponent have a strong shadow every time he sees you. This is how the shadow of Manchester United, the Red Devils, over the Premier League teams came from!

"It should be wonderful to let Tottenham's white terror cover the sky over the European continent, right?"

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

After walking out of the bathroom, entering the locker room, changing clothes, and going out again, Ye Qiu had to turn back to the bed, tidy up the bedding on the bed, and turn off the air conditioner in the room.

It's really a bit unaccustomed!

In the past, these things were done by his wife Huang Chu. After he woke up every morning, he would wash his face, brush his teeth, and put on his clothes, and then go downstairs to have breakfast. But now, the huge villa is empty, and he is the only one left. He feels lonely when he goes to bed at night, and even more so when he wakes up in the morning.

In the past, when the two naughty kids played around at home, Ye Qiu would feel noisy, especially when he was reading the newspaper in the morning, the two kids would always pull and tug at each other. Little Ye Chen would even climb directly on Ye Qiu, pointing at the pictures in the newspaper and talking nonsense, which always 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.

He got up alone, went downstairs alone, ate toast alone, and warmed milk alone. He did everything alone, and he was the only one left in the family. He was really not used to this kind of lonely life.

Fortunately, it won't last too long, just a week!

Ye Qiu drank milk and ate bread, comforting himself in his heart.

One of Huang Chu's cousins ​​got married, and he came to London to invite him with great sincerity, so Huang Chu brought his children, as well as his parents Huang Jinsong and his wife, to go. Ye Qiu's parents hadn't been back to China for a long time, so they also wanted to go back to visit their relatives, but they all left, leaving Ye Qiu alone.

It used to be lively, but now it's deserted. It's really awkward to stay in such a big house alone!

After breakfast, Ye Qiu drove straight to Theobald.

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

Ye Qiu shrugged in the BMW. He was always embarrassed to say that there was no one at home and it was very quiet. He should come to the club to get used to it. So he could only smile and said, "I have something to do, so I came back to see!"

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 arriving at the club, he still didn't know what to do.

After playing Arsenal, the team will play Chelsea again. The team has a week of rest time. In the past, the team has been fighting on multiple fronts for such a long time, so now there is more time. Ye Qiu arranged for the first team and the coaching staff to take a day off so that they can have a good rest. There are still several consecutive tough battles to fight.

Chelsea on the weekend, and then two Champions League games and a league game with Manchester United. These games are related to the success or failure of Tottenham Hotspur this season, and this week of rest time is undoubtedly very important for Tottenham Hotspur.

Not knowing what to do, Ye Qiu walked around. In the morning, he went to the research center to chat with Peter Brandt, Peter De Visser and others, then watched Chelsea's game video. In the afternoon, he went to the youth training camp to watch a youth team game.

This season, Tottenham Hotspur's youth team performed well. The U14 age group won the championship in the youth team league. In the second half of the season, the team introduced young players including Patrick Roberts, Nick Powell, Dan Crowley, Ryan Ledson and others, who played a significant role.

In addition to the youth team, Tottenham Hotspur's reserve team also performed very well, winning the championship in the Southern Reserve League. Next, they will play a final with the reserve team of Manchester United, the champion of the Northern Reserve League, to decide the final champion. If they win, Tottenham Hotspur's reserve team will win the first reserve league championship in the club's 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 in the reserve team. After all, if the past competition system continues to be used, the team's investment in the reserve team is also very large. The adoption of the north-south competition system can effectively shorten the running and hard work of the game and reduce investment.

Of course, even so, there are still many teams, even some Premier League teams, that do not participate in the reserve league.

Tottenham Hotspur's reserve team has always performed well. The championship this season is related to the outstanding performance of players such as Nastasic, Varane, Pogba, and Phil Jones. Although it is a reserve team, it actually also sells tickets. Many fans, especially some die-hard fans who look down on the first-team games, will choose to watch the reserve league with low ticket prices. After all, there are also first-team players in the reserve team in many cases.

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 an opportunity for Mauro Tassotti to practice. Judging from the performance of the reserve team, Mauro Tassotti's training and command were relatively successful, and he was also happy to accumulate more experience from such events.

After watching the youth team's game, Ye Qiu went to the locker room to meet with the group of players and praised the group of young men who had just won. When he left the court and was about to go to the restaurant of the training base for dinner, Eliza Moon called his cell phone.

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

"When did you get your hair cut?" Ye Qiu stood outside the kitchen of Eliza Moon's house, watching Eliza Moon busy in the kitchen. He was surprised because she had a neat short haircut.

The modified BOBO head only reached the ears, and the 8:2 ratio of the side bangs on the forehead looked very patchy, some even covered the glasses, but it gave people a very capable and fresh temperament. Moreover, this side bangs hairstyle, combined with the dyed blonde hair and the almost perfect face, has a different style than the usual long hair.

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

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

Ye Qiu smiled and said nothing. He still hadn't gotten used to how to praise a woman in person.

"Tell me, how do you feel?" Eliza seemed to value his opinion.

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

"Just OK?" Eliza curled her lips, not knowing whether she was dissatisfied with Ye Qiu's score, or felt that she didn't look good, or disliked the hairstylist's lack of skills and could not achieve the effect she was satisfied with.

"You know, I have high requirements, so if I say it's OK, it's usually 90 points!" Ye Qiu laughed.

After hearing this, Eliza smiled and glared at him unhappily, as if to say, forget it, let you go.

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

Unexpectedly, this sentence caused a burst of jealousy, "Oh, of course you want me to help you work hard in the United States, can't I come back for a holiday?"

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

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

Ye Qiu said oh, he knew that Eliza had only one purpose for 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 traditional mobile phone overlord, has been faced with huge challenges. According to the latest statistics from the international data company IDC, the world's smartphone shipments Sales volume shows that the first half of 2010 is expected to reach 120 million units, while the full year is expected to exceed 270 million units.

This is because a number of new phones will be launched in the second half of the year, and according to Yee Technology’s past habits, the third-generation Zeus mobile phone will be launched on January 1 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 hot sale and boost sales in the entire market.

According to IDC's analysis, Leaf Technology's Zeus mobile phone currently occupies the top end of the market. It is expected that the sales of Zeus mobile phones will exceed 30 million units from the first half of the year to June, and the total sales for the whole year are also expected to reach about 80 million units. , accounting for about 25% of the smartphone market, directly threatening Nokia's smartphone market share of 29.3%.

With the promotion of Android system in the past few years, Leaf Technology has attracted many mobile phone manufacturers to join, making the promotion of Android system very fast. It currently accounts for 66.1% of the total smartphone market share, while Nokia’s plug-in Class mobile phones account for 29.3%. Basically, except for Nokia mobile phones, there are no other mobile phones used. The rest include IOS launched by Apple or WP system launched by Microsoft, accounting for 4.6% of the market.

In fact, the reason why Ye Ye Technology wants to start with Nokia now is because the entire market is basically covered. According to the market life cycle of a product, the current Zeus mobile phone and Android system have already passed the market life cycle. In the startup stage, it is in the growth stage and has not yet entered the maturity stage, let alone the decline stage.

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

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

You must know that the consequences of taking over Nokia are very serious, because in the past, Leaf Technology has taken a high-end route. Although there is a conflict of interest with mobile phone manufacturers such as Samsung and HTC, it is not too strong. However, if it takes over Nokia, it will inevitably compete with them. The formation of more intense conflicts and competition will definitely lead to their disengagement.

But everything must be looked at separately. Now Samsung and HTC are also cooperating with Microsoft to launch mobile phones with WP mobile system. Because they cannot rely on Ye Zi Technology for everything, centrifugation has long been in existence, and for Ye Zi In terms of technology, the benefits gained from taking over Nokia will far outweigh the losses.

"How was the discussion?" Ye Qiu asked with concern.

"Their market share is shrinking rapidly, and they have not yet been able to find a strong new growth point. Therefore, Nokia's stock price has been falling in the past few years. It has now fallen to about 5 euros, and its total market value is also 20 billion. "It's around €1,000, but this is certainly not Nokia's real market value. It still has a lot of water that can continue to be compressed."

Nokia is a huge conglomerate with a total market value of more than 150 billion euros. Although it is now in decline, overall, it still has quite a lot of business that needs to be reorganized, and their Symbian system is very important to Leaf Technology. It is of no use at all, and its own development has come to a standstill. In addition, the joint venture between them and Siemens has suffered long-term losses, and the map business is also a heavy burden. Therefore, Nokia itself is already riddled with holes.

In Ye Qiu's previous life, many people wondered why Nokia had suffered huge losses for two or three consecutive years. In fact, it was reorganizing its assets, cutting off some rotten meat, purchasing some valuable businesses, and thus improving the quality of its property. get taller.

The side effect of this is that the financial statements are ugly, because whether it is a meat cut or an acquisition, there will be financial losses, and for a listed company, financial losses often mean a drop in the stock price.

Many people can’t understand why this approach was adopted for two consecutive years?

Some people say that this is a conspiracy from Microsoft's Nokia CEO Elop. 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 behavior is not in their interests, do you think they Will you accept it? You know, Elop is just an outside CEO, he is an extension of the will of the board of directors!

In the final analysis, Nokia has only one purpose in doing this, which is to attract potential buyers!

Or some people would say, there are still people who are so stupid that they are stupid enough to lower the stock price to attract buyers?

Just imagine, if Nokia didn't do this, would anyone be willing to acquire it? The answer is, no!

Because after acquiring Nokia, any company that takes over has to continue to do so. Isn't this equivalent to taking over a mess? Is there anyone who would do such a stupid thing? And if no one is willing to take over, Nokia will be in their hands, the stock price will be rapidly declining, and the value of the company will shrink rapidly. What will happen in the end?

Sometimes, as a decision-making management, the question is not how much I can earn, but whether I can lose less!

"This time, I talked to Nokia's management well. They listened to our ideas and expressed their willingness to consider it, but it is obvious that they still want to struggle to the death," Eliza Moon laughed mysteriously, "But we don't need to worry, because we have no competitors now!"

This is also thanks to a piece of news she released before.

A piece of news that shocked the whole world!
