Chapter 540 Wash it up and wait for me at home!
A thick and sturdy black Cadillac Escalade slowly drove towards the door of the Silicon Valley headquarters of Leaf Technology. In the front windshield, the driver obviously raised his head and looked at the vivid green leaf sign at the top of the front door.
Leaves represent multiple meanings, such as green, low-carbon, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly, but also represent the boss behind it.
All private owners in the world are the same. They like to give the company they run a name that is close to them. For example, Rockefeller, and it looks like Zeiss, Germany. The boss of Yezi Technology's surname is Ye, which means Yezi in Chinese.
"Hello", the mighty security guard in a well-built uniform walked over and signaled the person in the car to roll down the window.
"Hello, I am the CEO of Orson Technology, Larry Zzia, our company's vice president Fred Jorgensen," the driver in the car introduced politely to the security guard.
In front of Yezi Technology, they seem so insignificant, so even when facing security guards, they are still a little polite. This is a bit similar to what is said in Chinese, the seventh-rank official of the prime minister and the gatekeeper.
"Hello, Mr. Zizia, we have received the notice, please enter Building 1." After hearing this, the security guard immediately made a way open and opened the door, which seemed very polite and polite.
Escalade slowly raised the car window and drove into the door of Yezi Technology headquarters. He also vaguely saw from the rearview mirror that the security guard was notifying the people in the office, obviously telling Eliza Moon that the guests were coming.
The factory area is very large and is arranged like a garden, but it is not easy to get lost at all, because there are very clear signs on both sides of the road, which can clearly tell you where to go, so Zizia drove slowly and followed the signs and soon arrived at the office building No. 1.
What surprised him was that as soon as he parked the car, he saw Shirley Sandberg, the chief operating officer of Yezi Technology, walk out of the door and obviously welcome them, which immediately made them feel a little flattered.
Shirley Sandberg is not an ordinary person. She has done things in the core government departments and has great energy in the government. The reason why some acquisitions of Ye Zi Technology can be carried out smoothly is Shirley Sandberg's lobbying, so she is currently the third most powerful figure in Ye Zi Technology except for its mysterious boss Ye Qiu and CEO Eliza Moon.
"Welcome to Leaf Technology" Shirley Sandberg smiled and reached out toward Larry Zzia who was getting off the car.
"Hello, I'm glad to see you, Ms. Sandberg." Larry Zzia didn't dare to be careless about the strong woman, and his assistant Fred Jorgensen quickly greeted Sandberg.
"Oh, Cadillac Escalade." Sandberg said a few words to them and was about to take them upstairs, but he glanced at Zizia's car, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the first batch of cars that use the fingerprint lock provided by your Orson Technology to Delphi Company, right?"
"You know?" Larry Zzia was a little surprised.
Shirley Sandberg laughed, not explaining why she knew, but instead called them upstairs, which made the two people following her feel like they were seen through, because the reason why Larry Zzia likes to use this car so much is because of what Sandberg said.
Delphi is a well-known automotive parts provider in the world. At the same time, they were once a subsidiary of General Motors, but later became a completely independent company. However, they are still the largest accessories supplier of General Motors. Cadillac is a car brand under General Motors.
The two followed Sandberg into the No. 1 office building with anxiety, which was also the largest office building of Yezi Technology. Then they took the elevator to the third floor and soon arrived at the door of an office.
"Please come in" Sandberg knocked on the door a few times, and a sound came from inside.
When they opened the door and went in, what surprised Larry Zzia and Fred Jorgensen was that in addition to Eliza Moon, the CEO of Ye Zi Technology, which they had expected to meet, there was also a very familiar man, Ye Qiu, who flew from China to the United States to meet this.
"Hello, welcome to Yezi Technology." Ye Qiu walked up and reached out to the distance.
"Hello, Mr. Ye Qiu, it's very honored to see you." Lari Zizia did not lie.
Many people hope to meet Ye Qiu, whether he is an entrepreneur or the boss of a Silicon Valley company, because in the eyes of a lot of people, the shock brought by seeing Ye Qiu is nothing like meeting Bill Gates of Microsoft, Steve Jobs of Apple, or the two founders of Google.
"I know you have recently developed a brand new fingerprint recognition sensor." Ye Qiu said straight to the point.
Larry Zzia has talked with Eliza Moon and the head of relevant departments of Yezi Technology before. To be honest, sometimes he thinks that with the many acquisitions of Yezi Technology in the past, both in terms of amount and technology, Orson Technology is obviously not in Yeqiu's eyes.
After all, if you want to talk about the acquisition amount, Yezi Technology's acquisition of Nuau, a voice recognition company, was a huge amount, and it cost more than US$3 billion in total. It is the largest acquisition case in Yezi Technology's history. When it comes to technology, Yezi Technology has also acquired many companies with technology and patents in the past.
For example, not long ago, Yezi Technology acquired a Quff office software company at a low price. This company has been providing some Offt services similar to mobile versions in the past few years, which can be compatible with almost all office software versions on the market. After Yezi Technology acquired it, it was directly announced to be open for free.
Many people think that this is a big challenge to Microsoft, because one of Microsoft's most core and most profitable businesses is Offt. Now many people are even waiting to see how Microsoft fights back.
Relatively speaking, Orson Technology's business has always been very single, which is fingerprint recognition.
However, although the business is very single, they are very specialized. They are currently the world's number one in the field of fingerprint authentication sensors. Their business even entered the Chinese market in 2005, and their business scope has long entered the fields of automobiles, mobile electronic devices, etc. IHNL, HP, Microsoft, Samsung and many other major companies are their direct or indirect customers.
But such a company has only a total market value of only more than 100 million US dollars, which has little to do with the fingerprint recognition market. In UR year, the entire fingerprint sensor market was only more than 300 million US dollars. Even in 2013, all markets combined will only be more than 2 billion US dollars, which is still very optimistic.
“What I can guarantee is that in the near future, it will appear on Zeus’ phones and our tablets”
Orson Technology itself has also encountered great trouble. First of all, one of the most important reasons is that the fingerprint authentication market is too small, but the competition is not small. If Hp company has strong backings like STMicroelectronics to support it and does not need to worry about R&D funds, Orson Technology must have this concern.
Even every time they develop a new product or develop a new technology, they must first show it to their major customers and obtain certain financial support. If the customer thinks the cost is too high, or the technology is not practical, then sorry, the R&D project must be terminated.
But if it can be acquired by Yezi Technology, it almost means that they will have strong financial support and constantly develop newer and more advanced products. After all, Yezi Technology has nearly 10 billion US dollars in R&D investment every year, even if only one percent of it is allocated to them, it will be enough for them to develop for several years.
"Mr. Ye Qiu, we are very grateful for your affirmation of us, but you know, we have many investors."
Before Larry Zizia finished speaking, Ye Qiu smiled and nodded to stop him. Eliza Moon on the side smiled confidently, "Don't worry, Mr. Zizia, we can do it."
There are indeed many investors in Orson Technology, including Texas Instruments, Carlisle Group, and Harris, but there is another name that everyone in China believes will feel friendly when they see it, that is the China Development Bank.
As for Larry Zzia's understanding, many investors have shown a green light on this acquisition. Texas Instruments and Yezi Technology have semiconductor business dealings, and other investors believe that they will not refuse Yezi Technology's acquisition, provided that they can make money.
In the eyes of Yezi Technology, no matter how much Aoson Technology, which currently has a market value of more than US$100 million, can it be so valuable? Compared with Yezi Technology, which has a big business, this acquisition is definitely necessary, and in the long run, it will definitely be a good deal. After all, Orson Technology itself is a profitable company.
At least, the future fingerprint authentication market is very large, and Orson Technology is the technology leader in this area
“So tired”
After seeing off Larry Zzia and Fred Jorgensen, Ye Qiu fell directly on the soft office chair. After he flew to the United States, he had not even returned the jet lag, and now he was tired and exhausted.
"It's a good thing to be tired, it proves that you are still healthy." After sending Zizia away, Eliza returned to Ye Qiu's office.
Ye Qiu narrowed his eyes and smiled helplessly, "By the way, have the engineers gone to the Theobord training base?"
Previously, Ye Qiu developed a brand new training equipment through Ye Zi Technology. This will be the first time to be used in football and even sports. If it succeeds, not only Tottenham Hotspur will gain a big advantage. I believe Ye Zi Technology can also make a big profit through this set of technologies and equipment.
Not only that, if this device is successful, it will play a huge role in promoting Yezi Technology's development of wearable smart devices, so Ye Qiu will attach so much importance to it.
"I'm going, don't worry, it won't drag you down the training camp in the new season." Eliza glared at him angrily.
After leaving the house just now, when she came in, she had a few more documents in her hand, and now she put them directly on Ye Qiu's desk.
"Since you're here, let you know by the way, this is an acquisition and investment project planned by the investment department."
Ye Qiu opened it and took a look. The first item was a company called uuarxing, which is a company that specializes in developing a geographical location social network service application for Zeus mobile phones. One of their slogans is to make cities more convenient and easy to use, and this also made them well received by users after they launched the application.
Yezi Technology's investment department believes that it is different from Yezi Technology's existing Twitter and WeChat service content, and uses a very vivid metaphor. What makes Twitter attract users is what you are doing now.
And the service provided by this new company is, where are you now?
The investment department believes that this application has great prospects. For example, it can be built into a geographical search engine, combining the promotional activities of merchants and merchants around the city with consumers, and it can also be combined with social applications such as Twitter and WeChat to form complementary.
Considering that this transaction was only more than 10 million US dollars, Ye Qiu didn't think much about it and just skipped it.
To be honest, he is not good at professional things, so his choice is to trust professionals, and at least Eliza is checking. Ye Qiu trusts this beautiful assistant very much.
Yezi Technology has always liked to find inspiration from the outside world, so after the Android system became popular, the company often looked for some fresh ideas from user feedback and developers. For example, the company acquired an application research and development company not long ago, which can provide good optimization solutions to slim and optimize Yezi Technology's Android system.
The current Android system is mainly divided into four levels: kernel, system, framework and application. The kernel and system are the core layers. Even those mobile phone manufacturers authorized by Yezi Technology do not have the permission to modify it, but they can modify the framework and application according to their needs and then achieve personalization.
Not only that, in order to attract more developers to participate in mobile application research and development, Yezi Technology has also made appropriate openings to the outside world, which allows developers to easily develop various applications for Android systems, and at the same time, there is no need to worry about the fragmentation of the system and the slowdown in operation caused by excessive opening.
Yezi Technology itself also benefits from this openness, because the more developers develop Android systems, it is equivalent to providing more creativity to Yezi Technology, and at the same time, allowing Yezi Technology to continuously improve its products and services.
In addition to this acquisition, there are other projects. Ye Qiu is not a professional, but just scanned it, but one of them caught Ye Qiu's attention.
This is a new employee of Yezi Technology named Mike Buckward. According to his doctoral thesis, it is a bit similar to somatosensory and gesture control, but he believes that this is not gesture control, because gesture control needs to be set in advance, and in his conception, this does not require presetting, but direct and seamless operation.
"30 somatosensory manipulation?" Ye Qiu was really interested.
Eliza Moon laughed and said that Yezi Technology has countless creative ideas every day, but the ones that can be sent to her are definitely the best. "I think this should be the best control mode for smart TVs. Of course, it is just a concept."
After hearing this, Ye Qiu looked carefully and handed over the documents in his hand to Eliza Moon. After saying "you decide" he stood up, looking very tired and walked out the door.
"I'll go for a walk in the R&D department," Ye Qiu said casually.
Eliza nodded, "Remember to go home early that night."
"Why?" Ye Qiu was a little puzzled, but the side of this little girl, especially the tone of the little wife, was quite that.
"Don't you want to inspect the goods first?" Eliza said naturally.
Ye Qiu didn't understand what was going on, but soon thought of what he said when he was joking with Eliza. He felt no reason in his heart. He was really not ready for raising a lover outside.
For a moment, the girl was not embarrassed, but he was a little embarrassed.
"You wash your hair and wait for me at home." After saying that, Ye Qiufei ran away as if he was still alive.
Forgot who said that extramarital affairs are hell, hell that is difficult to get out of if you make a mistake
Want to go to hell?
After a while, Ye Qiu was still a little hesitant because he remembered his family and children.
Seeing him look like this, Eliza giggled in the office. This guy was okay in other aspects, but in this regard, he was definitely a coward.
Chapter completed!
