The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 351 An instant hit
London, Piccadilly Covent Garden
Mourinho walks in the open-air corridor of the shopping center, he always has the expression of being beaten up as if you owe him millions, and only when he glances at the three children in front of him, There was a little tenderness in his expression.

So, his daughter Mathilde always talks back, saying he looks fierce.

I bought a lot of things, and in the end it naturally fell on Mourinho. After all, Mathilde, the oldest of the three children, is only 10 years old, and his wife has to take care of two little boys. If Neo doesn't take things, who will?
The family of five talked and laughed all the way to the parking lot, but what they didn't expect was that halfway through the walk, they found that the road ahead was closed, and some security guards in yellow fluorescent striped clothing were maintaining order at the scene, while there were people on both sides of the road. It was blocked by the flow of people and it was very crowded, so the security guards directly blocked the road and prohibited vehicles and crowds from passing.

"Wow, cool!" The older son Jose Jr. couldn't help exclaiming when he saw this scene. How many people are there?
Mourinho had a lot of things in his hands, and his car was parked not far away, and it was inconvenient to go around, so he walked up and said, "Hey, man, what's going on ?” He also felt that the scene was quite big, probably it was a big star or something.

"Zeus!" One of the young security guards who maintained order at the scene pointed to one of the stores proudly and said, as if he was very proud and proud to be able to maintain order for this store here.

"Zeus?" Mourinho didn't understand.

But at this time, the security guard found out that someone was about to jump in line, so he immediately left their family behind and walked over to maintain order.

"Zeus, it's a mobile phone, Daddy!" Mathilde said beside him, with eyes and a tone that you really can't keep up with the times, and then picked up a leaflet from the ground, " Here, it’s him, a classmate of mine has already bought it.”

"Isn't it amazing? I'll buy you one later!" Hearing the envy in his daughter's tone, Mourinho smiled and said.

But just after he took the leaflet and saw clearly that the person on it was Ye Qiu, he immediately remembered that this phone was not the one that Ye Qiu used to direct the game from the stands in the 05 UEFA Champions League semi-final cell phone?
All of a sudden, Mourinho's face became gloomy. Looking around, there are huge crowds of people. It is said that the sale started at 10 o'clock in the morning, but now it is dusk, and there are still so many people. It can be seen that this phone How popular is it.

"You keep your word, Daddy, I want to buy this phone too, it's so cool!" Mathilde exclaimed.

But these words stopped in Mourinho's ears, but it was unavoidably harsh. He glanced around again and found that there were people running out of the store ecstatically, and the people in the long queue were With an envious look on his face, he was surprised, isn't it just a mobile phone?What's the big deal?
That damned guy stopped coaching the team and changed his career to selling mobile phones, and he actually sold them booming!

"I heard from my classmate that the owner of the company where the mobile phone is located is Ye Qiu, and he is also a football coach. Daddy, do you know him?" Mathilde asked with concern. She wished that Mourinho would say yes, Then maybe you can buy one directly from him without queuing up, and you can even show it off among your classmates.

"I don't know!" Mourinho replied in a deep voice, Ye Qiu was his taboo.

"It's a pity. I also heard that Weibo, YOUTUBE, and FACEBOOK are all launched by his company, as well as many other interesting small games. It seems that he is no longer the head coach, but he has become countless young people. Many of my classmates adore him." The little girl also had a look of admiration when she said it.

"What's so great about him?" Mourinho said angrily.

"Of course it's great. You can only teach football, and he also teaches football. I heard that he has won two Champions Leagues. Do you have one?"

The daughter's counterattack almost made Mourinho furious on the spot. This is definitely the thing he is most ashamed of, but he was held back by his wife.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, go home!"

The wife spoke, and Mourinho suppressed the anger in his heart.

But the next day, when he arrived at the Cobham training base, he found many players in the team gathered in the parking lot.

This made him feel a little curious. He walked over and found that it was Ribery and his teammates who were discussing mobile phones. Almost every one of them had a mobile phone in their hands. No need to look at it, it was still Zeus.

"John, when did you buy it? Didn't you say that the queue was long?" Kežman is also a young man who likes new things. When he saw Terry, Lampard, Ribery, Van Persie, Fabregas and May Xi and the others are all hands-on, full of envy.

"I got it from our head in private. It's really useful. I studied it all night last night." Terry said with a smile.

When Mourinho on the side heard it, his face suddenly became even uglier. They would call him BOSS, or call him manager and coach, but they would not call him head, because Mourinho himself knew it very well. Even Terry and Lampard, the two captains and vice-captains, were very dissatisfied with him in their hearts. After all, it was because of the semi-finals last season.

After hearing the players' admiration, envy and discussion, Mourinho coughed heavily twice.

"It's training time, hurry up and get ready!" Mourinho said in a deep voice.

When the players met him, they were more or less afraid. Everyone has seen his iron fist. As for Ye Qiu's direct descendants, Ribery's situation this season is relatively bad, reduced to Duff and Wright? The fourth substitute after Phillips, this also has something to do with his injury before the season.

This is the case with professional players. It may be just an accidental minor injury, which makes you miss something. It will be very difficult for you to regain it later. There is no problem with Ribery's strength. Everyone in the team knows , but Mourinho doesn't seem to trust him very much.

The same goes for Cesc Fabregas, Messi, and Luis Huth, who had high hopes before. These three young players who were promoted to the first team during Ye Qiu's time are now either kicked out of the youth team, or it is very difficult Get the chance to play, can only play a dozen reserve team games.

"Also!" When the players were about to turn around and leave, Mourinho stopped them again, "I don't want your mobile phones to affect your training and game status, otherwise, don't blame me You're welcome, do you understand?"

"I know!" With a few sparse responses, the players walked towards the locker room one by one.

Mourinho watched them leave and sighed in his heart. In fact, he had already been mentally prepared for all of this, but what he didn't expect was that Ye Qiu would have such a profound influence on Chelsea. Many people miss Ye Qiu, but the terrible thing is that his team went smoothly in the league, but lost to Charlton at home in the first game of the League Cup, which made him miss the competition for the League Cup .

Thinking of this, Mourinho couldn't help but sighed deeply, and the pressure on his shoulders was also great.

In the end, he could only curse angrily, "Damn Ye Qiu!"

The hot sale of the Zeus mobile phone store in Covent Park, London, is only in a corner of London. The same grand occasion is found in other prosperous commercial areas of the city, in England, the United Kingdom, Europe and even in other prosperous commercial areas in the world. It keeps happening.

The price of the Zeus mobile phone is not cheap, and the price of 499 US dollars and 599 US dollars is relatively high. For this reason, Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft, once joked in an interview that this is the most expensive mobile phone in the world. But it has no appeal to the mainstream consumer group, that is, business people, because there is no keyboard. "

Around the world, there are also many media and comments that Ye Qiu is very good at coaching football, but he is really terrible when it comes to selling mobile phones. At least the price is too high. move.

But Leaf Technology quickly slapped them in the face with factual data. After the mobile phone was launched, it was quickly listed in North America and Europe at the same time, because since the mobile phone reservation was opened in December 2005, the mobile phone reservation has exceeded 12 units. And these mobile phones were all delivered within three days from January 20st to 1rd.

At the same time, in the first week after the mobile phone was launched, the sales volume in the UK alone exceeded 10 units, and the sales volume in North America and Europe exceeded 80 units in the first week. is unprecedented.

According to the price of the mobile phone, one is calculated at US$499, and the total sales of these 80 units have reached US$4 million. In the early days, Leaf Technology was able to earn more than US$499 from this US$100 mobile phone. Net profit, which is net profit after deducting sales commissions and taxes from AT&T and other carriers.

In other words, in the past week, Leaf Technology has achieved a net profit of more than 8000 million U.S. dollars. If calculated according to this figure, Leaf Technology can earn more than 100 U.S. dollars per second. What could be better than this? earned?

And it should be noted that this is only the sales data after the first week of listing, and this data is still rising. Besides, the Zeus mobile phone is only sold in North America and Europe, and it has not been synchronized in other regions. Listed, so the future sales potential is still very large.

This is only the profit from the sale of mobile phones. According to the agreement between Leaf Technology and all operators, Leaf Technology can get a share of 10 US dollars per month from every Zeus mobile phone user. This is undoubtedly a very large source of income. Especially with the spread of Zeus mobile phones, the more users, the greater the income.

The instant popularity of Leaf Technology also quickly attracted the attention of major investment companies and consortiums around the world. The analysis team of Goldman Sachs believes that the Zeus mobile phone can become a hit not only because of Leaf Technology's previous perfect preparations and The layout planning also depends on Ye Qiu himself.

Celebrity is very eye-catching to a certain extent, especially Ye Qiu's promotion of the Zeus mobile phone in such a powerful competition as the Champions League, making this mobile phone doomed to be popular before it is launched. It is sold, and the excellent conference will undoubtedly arouse the desire of all potential users to buy, which can be seen from the number of reservations.

The analysis team of Goldman Sachs believes that according to the current trend, the annual sales of Zeus mobile phones in 2006 may exceed 1000 million units, because with the expansion of the Asian market, especially the launch of China, Japan and South Korea, it is bound to trigger a new wave of sales. A round of sales frenzy, and it turns out that Ye Qiu's publicity and marketing teams have also begun to focus on the Asian market.

At the same time, the Goldman Sachs analysis team also predicts that with the gradual expansion and improvement of sales channels, Leaf Technology will inevitably launch an unlocked version, breaking the monopoly rights of operators on mobile phones, and attracting more mobile phone users to invest in it. This is also a ratio that will further boost the sales of Zeus mobile phones.

"Compared to the vast market where the sales volume of mobile phones in 2006 is expected to exceed 10 billion units and the sales volume of smart phones is nearly 1000 million, the sales volume of Leaf Technology's [-] mobile phones seems very insignificant, but we have to see this. The potential contained in it, especially the company Leaf Technology.”

"We have received definite news and intelligence that Leaf Technology will take advantage of the trend of Zeus mobile phones in the near future to further win over hardware providers and mobile phone manufacturers. They will form a smartphone alliance and use authorization to Its own mobile phone software system and part of its technology are open to the outside world, which will undoubtedly further expand the market share of Android phones."

"There is no doubt that Leaf Technology is so inconspicuous compared to mobile phone giants such as Nokia and BlackBerry, but we have every reason to believe that with the popularity of Zeus mobile phones, Leaf Technology is bound to continue to grow rapidly. develop."

"It is reported that this company has started to develop two new mobile phones, which are the large-screen version of Zeus and the reduced-screen version of Zeus. It will undoubtedly greatly improve the product chain of Zeus mobile phones."

"In addition, there is news that Leaf Technology will continue to research and develop the Zeus series of mobile phones. This series is bound to launch more updated products in the near future, and Leaf Technology has also set up another research and development team. It is said that it will also develop An epoch-making new product."

"For this high-tech company located in San Francisco, which has been recognized as the most creative and R&D capability in the world in just over two years since its establishment, all we can give is anticipation!"

The information of Goldman Sachs and some authoritative media was actually disclosed by Leaf Technology on purpose. They wanted it but couldn’t get it. Leaf Technology took the initiative to disclose some information, and they immediately helped Leaf Technology to promote and promote it.

Ye Qiu wants to launch a large-screen version and a cheap version with a smaller screen. This is actually an experience gained from Samsung, because consumers do have this demand, and it turns out that the reason why Apple was later suppressed by Samsung is that A very important reason is the loss of the low-price market.

The newly established R&D team is mainly for the research and development of tablet PCs, but it is initially estimated that it will take at least two or three years before it can be launched on the market, but I believe that it will definitely trigger a round of hot sales by then.

With the hot sale of Zeus' mobile phone, Ye Qiu's weight on his heart finally fell.

Facts have proved that after a long period of preparation and preparation, the problems of the Zeus generation are much less, at least not as many problems and bugs as the iPhone generation, and after Ye Qiu's personal debugging and trial, coupled with the long-term preparation of the R&D team , The mobile phone was already a very mature product when it was launched, which is why it is a hot seller.

With the hot sales of mobile phones, Leaf Technology's funds have become more and more abundant. It sold 230 million mobile phones in the first month, and Leaf Technology obtained a net profit of 2 million US dollars from it. Technology's foundry in China is gradually expanding its production capacity, and profits will further increase. It is even hoped that the profit of each $3 mobile phone will reach $499, or even $180, which will further increase Leaf Technology's profitability and profits.

Of course, in order to further develop the market, the next price must be reduced, but the profit can be guaranteed to the maximum extent.

After confirming that Leaf Technology is basically self-sufficient, Ye Qiu is also relieved, and feels that his idea of ​​buying a football club should also be implemented.

However, he never thought about drawing funds from Leaf Technology. Now Leaf Technology only has 4-[-] million yuan on hand, but Ye Qiu has nearly [-] million euros in his hand. It comes from his previous operations in the Russian stock market and other aspects.

The skyrocketing Russian stock market in the second half of 2005 alone gave Ye Qiu a profit of more than 1 million euros. Coupled with some short-term investments made by Eliza, Ye Qiu now has a full 5 million in funds Euro, enough to complete the acquisition.

Not only that, Ye Qiu's stock in Apple is also rising steadily, but he has no plans to move it for the time being.

Here I have to mention by the way that after Leaf Technology launched the Zeus generation, it is said that Apple has completely overturned a series of previous achievements of the mobile phone R&D team, because many things have been advanced by Leaf Technology, and even layers of patents have been arranged. Barriers, even if they are developed, are just to make money for Leaf Technology.

Of course, Steve Jobs decided to re-develop it. It is unknown what kind of mobile phone he will develop. However, many patents such as multi-touch and appearance design are now held by Leaf Technology. In my hands, the mobile phones launched by Apple are basically completely different from the previous life.

And now there are many mobile phone manufacturers who are very interested in cooperating with Leaf Technology and getting their technical and software support, including HTC, Samsung, and some mobile phone manufacturers in China. This can be regarded as Ye Qiu's contribution to the motherland Xinli's move, after all, Leaf Technology is taking the high-end route, and the competitors will not be domestic manufacturers.

Once the entire market is spread by Leaf Technology, even if Apple wants to launch its own new products, it may not be easy. After all, it will be difficult for latecomers to break the shadow of the pioneers.

Because of this, Ye Qiu is not very optimistic about Apple's stock price, and his cooperation with Google is closer, so he decided to sell Apple's shares at the end of 2006 and switch to Google to further strengthen the relationship between Leaf Technology and Google. cooperation between.

However, he decided to let Eliza be responsible for all of this. In fact, this plan came from Eliza, and Ye Qiu returned to Europe with his huge sum of money to start his acquisition plan. .

Because he has already identified a target, that is...
