The team's tactical thinking has been re-established, but Tottenham Hotspur, the tank, could not adjust its direction immediately, because the current Tottenham Hotspur is obviously different from the Tottenham Hotspur when Ye Qiu just took over.

At that time, Tottenham Hotspur could almost be said to be poor and Ye Qiu could directly overthrow it and rebuild it, but now Tottenham Hotspur is not good, because there are many top stars in the team and a huge business system. In addition, fans have higher and higher requirements for the team, so all this requires Ye Qiu not to rush.

But whether it is Theobord or White Hart Lane Stadium, the staff of both offices have begun to prepare for the future according to Ye Qiu's idea, especially the upcoming summer transfer market, which has begun to actively prepare.

After a week of rest, Tottenham Hotspur ushered in the 29th round of the Premier League, challenging Wolves away.

This time, Tottenham finally ushered in a convincing game, defeating Wolves 0 away, but Phil O Jones did not play. Ye Qiu arranged for Beckham to start and form a midfielder with Fabregas and Coutinho.

In this game, Beckham also worked diligently to complete the duties of a midfielder, that is, his position.

Many people look at the data on the other side of the midfielder, that is, tackles. They often think that tackles a good defensive midfielder is a good player, but they forget one thing: tackles, especially fall-off tackles, are actually two sides.

Normally, a player will only make tackles when he loses the best and most reasonable defensive position. Of course, the reason why the player loses the best defensive position is not necessarily the player himself, but may be caused by the surrounding environment, teammates, and even the team's tactics.

So, theoretically speaking, if a player always appears in the best and most reasonable defensive position and makes the most effective defense, he does not need to tackle, but should be an interception or a steal when defending head-on.

Many people even misunderstood the importance of the midfielder. The reason why this position is important is not because there is a player with excellent defense and strong stealing skills here, not because there is a player who cuts off the opponent's pass and cooperation route here.

Note that there is a player, anyone, as long as you have enough ability and awareness to cut off the opponent's pass and cooperation route, you can become a qualified midfielder who protects the front of the penalty area.

Because the front of the penalty area is often the key area where the opponent's long shot or the last pass is.

So, on the surface, Beckham's physical fitness declined, his physical fitness declined, and his ability to compete was also declined. It seemed that he could not take on this heavy responsibility, but he performed well after he came on the court, at least protecting his penalty area well.

Phil or Jones is better than Beckham, but he just doesn't protect it because of this

But Beckham couldn't play every game. Even at his current age, it was difficult to play such high-intensity games continuously, so Ye Qiu was very careful in his use.

After defeating Wolves, Tottenham Hotspur has remained unbeaten in the 29th round of the Premier League this season, and its unbeaten record has been added to 41 games. Even though the team's personnel have changed and there are many problems, Tottenham Hotspur still relies on its overwhelming strength advantage to continue to maintain its unbeaten record.

With 25 wins and four draws in the 29th game, Tottenham Hotspur scored 79 points, 60 points ahead of Manchester United, currently ranked second in the league. With a 19-point lead, it can almost be said that it has already won the Premier League championship, unless the remaining nine rounds of the league Tottenham Hotspur collapsed.

But this possibility is almost impossible, because everyone knows that with Tottenham's current lineup, no matter who is missing, it can still be invincible in the Premier League, and even in the Champions League, it is still very competitive.

After playing the 29th round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur ushered in the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals.

This time, Ye Qiu made an interesting adjustment to the midfielder, and arranged a combination of David Silva, Ramsey and Phil Jones, but the interesting thing is that the three midfielders adopted irregular deep-level positions, David Silva was ahead, Phil Jones ran all over the field, and Ramsey dragged the organization behind.

From a tactical perspective, it is a bit like the tactics Ancelotti had when he was in AC Milan. David Silva was Siddorf, Phil Jones was Gattuso, Ramsey was Pirlo, and Kaka looked more like an attacker at that time, so both Hazard and Messi could serve as part of Kaka's responsibilities.

This kind of adjustment is a forced one. Phil Jones likes to run around, which is very similar to Gattuso back then, so Ye Qiuqiuqin directly uses this tactic to release his energy in this area, and then plays the role of connecting the past and opening up the future through David Silva and Ramsey.

I have to say that Tottenham Hotspur almost overwhelmingly suppressed Roma at home in this game. Phil Jones, the messing stick, once again, made Roma mess, and David Silva also made one pass and one shot in the game, performing very well. Messi and Cavani each scored one goal in the frontcourt, defeating Roma 0 at home.

In this way, Tottenham eliminated Roma from the Champions League with a total score, and he successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

After Tottenham Hotspur entered the quarterfinals, the other seven teams that reached the quarterfinals were also released one after another. This time, three teams in the Premier League still entered the quarterfinals, namely Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Manchester United. Another team that reached the quarterfinals of 16, Arsenal was defeated by Barcelona in the knockout round.

The quarterfinals of 16 ended, and the next day, UEFA drew lots for the Champions League quarterfinals knockout. This time, Tottenham Hotspurs won the old rival Manchester United, staged a Premier League derby, while Barcelona and Donetsk Miners were in the same area as Tottenham Hotspur.

It should be said that Barcelona's luck is better than Tottenham Hotspur, and Chelsea, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and AC Milan were assigned to the same zone, which seems to be signs of Serie A and La Liga besieging the Premier League.

After the Champions League midweek, Tottenham went north to Manchester and played a FA Cup match with Manchester United.

Manchester United did not send all the main players in this game, because many of their players played in the Premier League and the Champions League in a row, so Ferguson arranged rotation in this game. Ye Qiu arranged a lot of substitutes in the second leg of the Champions League, so the rotation effect was more ideal. He defeated Manchester United by 0 away with goals from Cavani and Fabregas.

The opponent in the FA Cup semi-finals is still from Manchester, Manchester City team

On March 19, in the 30th round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur scored at home with Messi's goal. Although the Hammers played tenaciously and the defense was organized quite closely, they still couldn't beat Messi's inspiration in the end.

After this game, Tottenham Hotspur's 19-point lead almost lost suspense in the Premier League, or it should be said that other teams only have theoretical possibility of winning the championship, because Tottenham Hotspur can announce that it will win the championship in advance as long as it wins two more games.

After thirty rounds, the Premier League was suspended and the European Cup qualifiers started. Ye Qiu was at Theoborde every day, discussing with members of the coaching staff, Bobby Hams and others on how to further improve the team's tactical transformation and changes, and also discussing the team's summer transfer operation.

Just in the fifth round of the European Cup qualifiers, the day before the start of March 30, Ye Qiu received a call from Finland in Theobord, and Nokia's chairman John Olila personally called Ye Qiu.

"Can we meet and talk?" John Olila asked on the phone, his tone with a bit of a tragic look of a loser.

"Yes," Ye Qiu nodded and agreed, "I'm going to Estonia tomorrow, but I can go to Helsinki first."

Ye Qiu originally planned to go to Estonia to watch their game with Italy, while Tallinn and Helsinki were separated by the Baltic Sea, which was very close, so he could go to Helsinki to meet John Olila first, and then go to the capital of Estonia.

There is a saying that is right: a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Although Nokia seems to be very embarrassed now, its financial statements are terrible, its stock price has also declined continuously, and its market value has shrunk rapidly. The huge empire in the past seems to collapse vaguely, but these are the opinions of laymen. In the eyes of those who know the entire operating model, Nokia is still a long way from bankruptcy.

The reason is very simple. Nokia has many valuable assets.

For example, Nokia's core assets' mobile phone business and patents, Nokia Siemens Communications, Nokia Map business, and... In short, there are still many assets that can support this company.

At least, the Nokia headquarters park outside Helsinki is currently open for sale, and the price is not very high. Yezi Technology is already in contact with Nokia and has a great hope of winning this office park with four office buildings and an office area of ​​48,000 square meters, becoming Yezi Technology's Nordic headquarters and data center.

It should be said that in the past Nokia layoffs, Yezi Technology has tasted the sweetness. Almost all the highest-end outstanding talents have been absorbed by Yezi Technology, especially some top software and hardware technical talents. This is also a way for Yezi Technology to further improve its talent system, and it does not require a lot of money to poach.

Nokia has no choice but to lay off employees in this way.

Ye Qiu and John Olila did not meet in Helsinki. To keep it secret, they met in a small town called Botvik about thirty kilometers west of Helsinki, where Nokia has a building.

In fact, if Nokia is willing to sell their assets in Finland and even across Europe, they can still continue to support this huge empire, but this is more just a stagnant, and the more it drags on, the lower the market value will be.

John Olila used to be an executive at Citibank, so he knew this very well.

This time, Ye Qiu was the only one who met. Mauro Tasotti, who wanted to accompany him to Estonia to watch football, didn't understand at all and did not attend the talks. John Olila pulled Nokia Chairman Risto Silasma to form a three-person closed-door talks.

It is obvious that this will not be a negotiation with the final result, but more of an intentional negotiation.

"Congratulations, Mr. Olila, you successfully acquired Nokia Siemens Communications." Ye Qiu smiled and congratulated him as soon as he met. This is indeed a gratifying news, because the world's famous network communication equipment and solution providers finally completely belong to Nokia.

You should know that although Nokia Siemens lags behind Ericsson and China's Huawei in market share, and has been challenged and swallowed by emerging opponents such as China's Huawei and ZTE in the global market for a period of time, which has forced Nokia Siemens to adjust and lay off employees, it has survived and has now recovered its profits.

To this end, Nokia paid 1.7 billion euros to acquire 50 shares in Siemens, of which 1.2 billion was cash, and the rest was paid through guaranteed loans. However, in this way, Nokia's cash flow, which was originally relatively abundant, was only more than 2 billion euros left.

At first glance, this amount of money is a lot. For ordinary people, they should not expect to make a lot of money in their entire lives. But you should know that Nokia has a big business and has so many industries and employees around the world. More than 4 billion yuan in cash flow can only be considered a matter of money. Now that there are more than 2 billion left, it can almost be said to be tight.

And you should know that one of the most important reasons why all companies go bankrupt is that their cash flow is cut

There is no doubt that acquisition is a good thing, but the bad one is that there is a problem with cash flow.

When Eliza and Moon told Ye Qiu this news last night, Ye Qiu already knew the purpose of John Olira's appointment with him, that is, he decided to sell his assets in exchange for huge cash flow. Otherwise, with the current decline in Nokia, it will soon fall into a bankruptcy crisis.

It is obvious that the changes brought about by Ye Qiu are aggravating Nokia's decline, at least faster than in his previous life.

"I believe Mr. Ye Qiu is also a busy person, and I have also heard that you have always liked to be direct, so I won't say much." As soon as John Olila met, he sat down without politely speaking and went straight to the topic, "We do have the idea of ​​selling some assets, but we think that the price offered by Ye Zi Technology is too low, and there are problems with the payment method."

After hearing this, Ye Qiu nodded, "Please tell me."

"According to our idea, we intend to sell the mobile phone business, but we do not intend to sell the map and patent and technology research and development departments for the time being. As for the price, we certainly cannot calculate based on the current stock price. We require a higher quotation."

"Reasonable" Ye Qiu nodded, "But what I want to say is that without patents and maps, I am not interested in Nokia's mobile phone business." He also said it very frivolously. This is where all negotiations in the past are stalemate.

Nokia's business mainly has four parts, mobile phone and electronic equipment business, which is what Nokia calls mobile phone business, map business, network communication equipment business, and advanced technology departments in patents and scientific research.

Many people in my previous life said that Microsoft made a lot of money. It acquired Nokia for more than 5 billion euros and obtained patent rights. People who would say this are stupid because Microsoft lost a lot. It just got a mobile phone business and didn't get the other three pieces at all. So this is where Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia is cheaper than Google's acquisition of Motorola.

This is why Ballmer and Bill Gates had a stumble and finally stepped down in disgrace.

Of course, from Microsoft's standpoint, they lack hardware technology, and the price of acquiring Nokia is reasonable even if it is a little higher.

Ye Qiu's idea is not just about mobile phones, he wants mobile phones, maps, patents and R&D technology departments. In this way, after Nokia is acquired, there will be only one network communication equipment business, that is, Nokia Siemens' business.

The reason why Yezi Technology has a firm attitude is that the map business is the weakness of Yezi Technology and is also one of the key points of this acquisition. Another key is patents. For Yezi Technology, the mobile phone business is purely a thing that buys two and get one free. In terms of mobile phones and electronic devices, Yezi Technology may not lose to Nokia now, and it still has to spend money to acquire it?

Nokia's abacus is well-made, selling the lost things and leaving valuable things behind, but is Yezi Technology so stupid?

Yezi Technology is not like Microsoft now, and it is not lacking in hardware technology.

"Mr. Olila" Ye Qiu saw his resolute words, which made the scene a little embarrassed. The three of them were silent, so they took the initiative to break the deadlock. "I hope you can understand our sincerity. I will sit here as the most powerful proof. We will also show sincerity in terms of price. However, unless you package the map, patent and mobile phone business for sale, I think this transaction is impossible."

John Olila and Silasma looked at each other and saw their helplessness. They were indeed short of cash because the current cash flow was too dangerous for them. If they were not careful, it might lead to a bankruptcy crisis. But if they really sold as Ye Qiu said, Nokia would only have an empty shell.

Because in terms of network communication equipment, they are not leading at all, but are significantly behind Ericsson and Huawei.

But the problem is that with the transaction of the acquisition of Nokia Siemens, Nokia's stock price will fall sharply and even fall to an embarrassing level after the financial statements are announced.

In the last round of decline, many of them, including Olila and Silasma, bought a lot of Nokia shares at the bottom and increased their holdings, so no matter from which perspective, they did not want to continue to fall like this or even go bankrupt.

Ye Qiu and Yezi Technology have such confidence that you are short of cash, but I have nothing, the most cash, and now I can propose an acquisition in a short time and promise that I will only be the one who wants to sell it, so if you want to sell it, you will sell it, and if you don’t sell it, you will lose it.

If you sell it early, you can negotiate the price, and it doesn't matter if you suffer a little loss. After all, you have to be wary of Microsoft, which sees the situation clearly, come out to disrupt the situation. Ballmer has always wanted to develop Microsoft's hardware technology, so it's better to finalize it quickly, but if it sells it late, the price is difficult to negotiate, and Yezi Technology may not have the interest to slowly get involved in it.

Time is not good for Nokia

John Olila and Silasma both felt the meaning of Ye Qiu's robbery, that is, they were rich and powerful.

However, although Ye Qiu said that the price would show sincerity, John Olila would certainly not take it seriously, because he could guess that Ye Qiu was only responsible for the overall situation, and Eliza Moon, who was in the specific acquisition negotiation, would definitely try every means to reduce the price.
Chapter completed!
