Chapter 260 Dye the sky blue

For Ye Qiu, who had used Android and Apple phones for several years in his previous life and had studied the system architecture and history of Android and Apple phones in depth out of interest, it was not difficult to do some private work to shock Andy Rubin.

After all, geniuses are also limited by time!

Many problems that Ye Qiu thought could be solved by just a very small change in details seemed to be an insurmountable chasm in Andy Rubin's eyes. This is no wonder, because these tiny changes in details are the crystallization of wisdom after years of hard thinking by countless professional elites around the world.

If Ye Qiu had not appeared as a time traveler, he would not have known all this.

After Ye Qiu spent most of the day, and the next two days of repeated indoctrination and edification, Andy Rubin finally praised Ye Qiu's concept and idea about smartphones, thinking that this was more genius than his original design and would create an epoch-making masterpiece!

However, Ye Qiu also gave some warnings, because he knew very well that the biggest problem of Android in his previous life was fragmentation.

The so-called fragmentation does not mean that the functions are scattered, which is not a problem at all. The real fragmentation lies in excessive openness.

The emergence of iPhone brought great pressure to Android. Google quickly launched Android 1.0, but it turned out that Android still had serious problems at that time. With the success of Apple, Google took the route of winning over hardware vendors in order to challenge the other party and opened its Android system to these hardware manufacturers.

As a result, the problem came out. After these hardware vendors and mobile phone manufacturers got the source code, they all carried out in-depth transformation and turned it into their own mobile phone system. The purpose was to distinguish themselves from other opponents. As more and more hardware vendors and mobile phone manufacturers joined Google's Open Mobile Alliance, this phenomenon became more and more serious.

The final result was that Android succeeded, but Google gradually lost control of Android.

Ye Qiu had seen many Internet masters and professionals discuss this issue in his previous life. Without exception, they all believed that Android's openness was a very wise choice, and Google's strategy was to follow the old path of Microsoft defeating Apple.

You know, the reason why Microsoft defeated Apple was because Microsoft joined forces with hardware manufacturers and opened its operating system to the outside world, while Apple adopted a fully closed strategy, closed the door and played by itself, and finally became self-contained.

In other words, Android must be open, but it should not be excessive like in the previous life, but should be open to an appropriate degree to ensure the company's absolute control over the Android system, taking the same route as Microsoft's promotion and control of the WINDOWS system.

In addition, Ye Qiu's experts in Google in his previous life also made some suggestions, which were difficult to achieve in 2013, because Android was already the largest mobile phone system in the market at that time, and the fragmentation problem was already deeply rooted, but in Ye Qiu's current view, it is easy, that is, to hierarchize the system.

Ye Qiu is not an expert on how to implement it specifically, he just knew about these things in his previous life, so when he discussed it with Andy Rubin now, he brought it up and asked him to design the mobile phone system in advance to ensure the company's absolute control over the Android system.

According to Ye Qiu's idea, the company's Android system will take the authorization route in the future, and the degree of openness will not be as high as in the previous life. This will ensure that the company will gain development and profit from the Android system in the future, and even if it does well, it will have the opportunity to become the next Microsoft.

In addition, Yezi Technology also plans to launch its own mobile phone brand, focusing on building the king of Android phones, but it will only take a high-end route similar to the previous life's iPhone. Ye Qiu did not hide his idea of ​​trying to eat crabs before iPhone.

Of course, to be the first to eat crabs, you have to know how to eat crabs.

Although Apple sells mobile phones, in fact, its core competitiveness is not only in mobile phones, but also in software, hardware and services.

Generally speaking, mobile phone software is generally games first and tools later, but because Ye Qiu is starting from scratch now, he needs to prepare a certain amount of games, tools and other applications for customers when the mobile phone is launched, and put them in the Android store so that users can download and install them.

Among them, in terms of games, Ye Qiu directly copied the classic games of his previous life, such as Fruit Ninja, Angry Birds, Doodle Jump, Cut the Rope and other classic games. As for tool applications, they are very popular website applications in the previous life, such as Facebook, youtube, group buying, etc., and interesting photo taking software, players and instant voice chat tools will also be launched.

The advantage of rebirth is that you can plagiarize unscrupulously, and he has already handed over these projects. I believe that when the mobile phone is ready, this bunch of interesting applications will be launched as soon as possible to provide users with the best application services.

In addition, the Android of Yezi Company will be open to third parties from the first time, allowing more people to join this platform, but in order to ensure the quality and safety of the application, a digital certificate similar to that later adopted by Nokia mobile phones, Apple and Google will be added to the application, and the application must be strictly reviewed if it wants to enter the Android store.

Ye Qiu is not in a hurry now. According to what he has learned, Jobs is currently most concerned about the cooperation with Motorola, and this cooperation is still continuing. In other words, he has not made a smartphone by himself in a short period of time. idea, so what Ye Qiu has to do now is to ensure the quality and service of the company's first smartphone.

If you want to launch a mobile phone, there are still many aspects that need to be sorted out. Mobile phone research and development is only one part. If you want to mass-produce it, you need to do a lot of things, such as getting through the hardware manufacturers and setting up factories. This is not a problem, because Foxconn, the world's largest foundry, is located in China.

The typical operating model in the U.S. telecommunications industry is bundling. That is to say, if a mobile phone manufactured by a manufacturer is not bound to an operator, it is impossible for it to be accepted by operators. Therefore, even if it is as powerful as Nokia, International brands like Motorola still have to follow such unspoken rules. It is up to the operators to decide what mobile phone you make and how to make it.

In other words, if the operator does not support it, you cannot make a mobile phone at all.

This is the first time Ye Zi Technology has made a mobile phone, and it has just been established. It has to slowly open up many things on its own, which is very difficult. But Ye Qiu is also very confident, because 3G is about to be launched in the United States, and all Operators also hope that consumers will use their networks to consume more wireless data.

This is also a big bargaining chip for Eliza when negotiating with telecom giants including AT\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;T, because Leaf Company develops mobile phones. They don’t have to invest much at all, but if they succeed, the rewards can be staggering.

Of course, to convince these operators, Yee Company must show enough strength to let them see that the company does have the ability and strength to develop a revolutionary mobile phone, and then they will provide support.

Another important point is the sales network after the development of mobile phones. Apple launched the Iphone in its previous life. Having its own sales network of nearly 200 stores is a huge advantage, but Yezi Technology does not have it, so this requires Yezi Technology to set up Sales channels.

Regarding this point, Ye Qiu also delegated all the power to Eliza. The method he adopted was to leave professional matters to professional people and achieve his goals through recruitment and poaching.

In this way, the cost will definitely be higher, but because of the appearance of Ye Qiu, the loss caused by avoiding detours in mobile phone research and development can completely make up for this cost, and Ye Zi Technology is also preparing to launch its own flagship Specialty store, but all this has to be done slowly.

It was also because Ye Zi Technology had too many things, too complex, and too cumbersome, so this time he flew from London to San Francisco. Ye Qiu saw Eliza after more than two months. He felt that Eliza was a lot more haggard. .

"Come on!" Ye Qiu clapped his hands hard and walked behind Eliza on the desk. "Brother, I'll give you a press and let you know that our Ye family is not only good at snacks, but also massages." !”

Of course Eliza wouldn't believe him. After staring at him angrily for a while, she turned her office chair and turned her back to Ye Qiu. Her attitude was self-evident. Ye Qiu was not polite either. He used some strength with his hands and pressed her down. On those soft and boneless shoulders.

"A bit stiff, haven't you exercised for a long time?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

"Well!" Eliza said a little loudly, but soon felt that she seemed to be a little out of control, so she blushed and said, "You, just throw everything to me. I don't know much about these things, so I have to learn." , you still have to be busy, do you think I am an iron man? "

Speaking of which, Ye Qiu felt really guilty. Where in the world could he find such a good employee?

"Let's do this, I'll give you a salary increase, and I promise that if unfortunately, things go wrong, the villa will remain the same, but if it succeeds, I will buy you the most luxurious apartment in Notting Hill. How about a villa?"

After hearing this, Eliza turned around and saw his serious look, and smiled sweetly, "I guess you still have some conscience!"

"Of course!" Ye Qiu didn't blush, "Leave the affairs of the European agency to me, and the team you brought out is also very capable. Don't worry, it will be fine. Just concentrate on sitting here. When the mobile phone comes out, we will definitely There is a chance to change the world!”

When Ye Qiu said this, Eliza happened to look out of the office window. Their office building was not high, and there were many taller office buildings in San Francisco. But she was looking forward to it. One day, all the office buildings would be taller than theirs. These companies look up to them with great envy.

"Also, you should help me keep an eye on oil prices in the United States!" Ye Qiu reminded.

Although more than 100 million US dollars were invested in Ye Zi Technology this time, Ye Qiu actually took 100 million from it to invest in oil. Because with the outbreak of the Iraq War and OPEC's announcement of oil production cuts, if Ye Qiu had not If you remember correctly, from January to June in the previous life, the price of oil rose from 30 US dollars to more than 50 US dollars, which was almost doubled.

The initial investment of Ye Zi Technology Company is actually not much, and the remaining US$100 million is prepared by Ye Qiu for the subsequent research and development of various software and hardware. He is not satisfied with the current scale of the company, because he knows very well that this is just Just the beginning.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it for you!" Eliza replied, "I don't know where you got the news from!"

"I told you this!" Ye Qiu replied with a smile.

Oil prices nearly doubled in the first half of 2004, and Russia's RTS index nearly doubled in the second half of 2005. Both of these are sources of investment for Ye Qiu to continue to invest in Yezi Technology. Otherwise, no one would be able to support this. Huge investment.

"Are you planning to stop coaching?" Eliza suddenly thought of this question.

With Ye Qiu's current net worth, even if he doesn't coach, he probably won't starve to death. At least his wife owns the huge Huangtian Group. In the past two years, under Ye Qiu's guidance, this company's performance has grown by leaps and bounds. , the development momentum is amazing.

"How is that possible?" After hearing this, Ye Qiu smiled, leaned down and came close to Eliza's pearl-like ears. The two of them looked through the window at the distant San Francisco city, and gently Said: "Remember? I said that sooner or later I will buy a club for you to play with. We will fight side by side to build the greatest football club in the history of football. I keep my word!"

Eliza smelled Ye Qiu's breath, felt his breath in her ears, and her whole body felt hot. She stood up from the office chair in a hurry, and accidentally hit Ye Qiu's chin with her shoulder, causing him to almost bite him. to the tongue.

"Can't you just stand up and talk?" Ye Qiu complained, rubbing his chin.

Eliza's pink face was red, and she was indescribably charming, but she curled her lips and cursed with a smile: "Who let you get so close? It made my ears itch to death!" This didn't sound like she was scolding, it was just a curse. It's like being coquettish.

Only then did Ye Qiu realize that what he had just done was indeed too intimate. He immediately calmed down and silently recited in his heart, Amitabha, good, good, good!

…………

…………

After spending three hurried days in San Francisco, Ye Qiu returned to London.

But now, he has extremely strong confidence and expectations that he will own a Premier League club in the future.

This was also the motivation for him to form Leaf Technology, because he knew better than anyone that without strong financial backing, it would not be able to support the rate of money burning of a Premier League team, let alone build a powerful wealthy team.

Although Abramovich is very supportive of him now, there is always a shadow in his heart. He has a strong sense of insecurity and is worried that he will be sidelined or even fired anytime, anywhere if his boss is not happy. , so he wants to build his own football empire.

Give money and time to build a wealthy family. Ye Qiu didn't just say this casually. This was his dream!

After returning to London, Chelsea players also returned to the team one after another.

After two or three days of rest, the players are relatively self-disciplined and no major problems have arisen. After all, they are all professional players, and the team's momentum is so good now. Who would jump out to create conflicts and problems at this time?

Ye Qiu organized the team to make physical adjustments at the Harrington training base. This week-long training period is very important for Chelsea, because the tough schedule in March and April is about to begin. Chelsea must compete in the Premier League and Champions League. The two fronts are advancing hand in hand, so the team needs to adjust their physical fitness and condition as soon as possible.

The players are also more convinced of Ye Qiu, because in the past half of the season, Chelsea players have had very few injuries. This is because Ye Qiu has adopted Peter Brandt's injury prevention plan. The result of the coaching staff's control over physical reserves.

After a week of training, the team welcomed Stuttgart of the Bundesliga at Stamford Bridge.

In order to prepare for this game, Ye Qiu even went to Germany in person to watch Stuttgart's 2-0 away victory over Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga. After an outstanding performance in the first half of the season, Stuttgart's performance has been sluggish since the winter break. With 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in 6 Bundesliga games, this is definitely not a team aiming to win the championship.

In response to Stuttgart's recent defensive problems, Ye Qiu gave a targeted blow at Stamford Bridge. He launched a strong attack on Stuttgart from the beginning of the game and used Chelsea's strongest midfielder to suppress Stuttgart. Firmly restrict the Bundesliga team's midfield operations.

After adjustments in the training camp, Chelsea players were obviously in better condition and their physical fitness was better adjusted. They successfully dominated the game at their home court and finally passed Ronaldinho and Lampard. goal, defeated Stuttgart 2:0 at home.

In the end, Chelsea eliminated the Bundesliga team from the Champions League with a total score of 3:0 and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Arsenal also defeated Celta Vigo with a score of 2:0 at their home court, and finally defeated Celta Vigo with a total score of 5:2 and successfully gathered in the top 8.

But Manchester United seemed very unlucky. Ferguson's team's weakness was strangled by Porto head coach Mourinho.

Even before this game, Ferguson used the media to ridicule Mourinho, believing that the Portuguese was not worthy of the title of best coach at all. In his opinion, Ye Qiu was more qualified to win the best coach than Mourinho. , and the Portuguese are obviously lucky.

Even when they lost 1:2 in the away game in the first round, when Manchester United was choked to death by Porto's iron-barreled defense and the weaknesses of the midfield were exposed, Ferguson still felt that Mourinho's tactical quality was not as good as Ye Qiu's.

Many European media also felt that Mourinho's tactics to restrain Manchester United were exactly the same as Ye Qiu's tactics to beat Manchester United 3:0. It was obvious that the Portuguese borrowed Ye Qiu's deployment in that game, and Mourinho did not refute this.

In the second round, Manchester United's performance improved, but Porto also scored at Old Trafford. In the end, the two teams tied 1:1. Mourinho's favorite striker Benny McCarthy equalized the score for Porto.

This season, Deco left, and Mourinho's tactics became very conservative, but the results were very ideal. The offense was more borrowed from McCarthy, and the South African international did not disappoint Mourinho's expectations. His performance was very eye-catching, but it was limited to the Portuguese Super League.

The total score was 3:2 to defeat Manchester United and successfully advanced to the top 8. This made Mourinho and McCarthy both The attention of European media and fans believes that this Porto is very likely to follow the path that Ye Qiu's Ajax took.

First win the League Cup, then win the Champions League!

Ye Qiu was not interested in being compared to Mourinho. He said in an interview that he hoped to continue in the Champions League, "I hope to completely dye the European sky blue this summer!"

This statement naturally received different treatments, with support, praise, and sarcasm.
