Chapter 315 Semiconductor Overtaking, International Trend
Office.
Following Wang Donglai's words, Zhang Rujing's eyes showed a little more appreciation and admiration, and he asked aloud: "Professor Wang, can I ask why you are thinking of developing domestic EDA?" Software?”
In fact, Zhang Rujing is not very optimistic about Wang Donglai’s plan to develop domestic EDA software.
Although in the semiconductor field, EDA software plays a great role. As the core technology of integrated circuit design and manufacturing, its importance is like the three mountains in industrial software, supporting the vigorous development of the global semiconductor industry.
However, the market in this industry is not large compared to other markets, with a market size of only about US$7 billion. However, it is dominated by Synaptics, Calendar and Siemens, which together account for more than 80% of the market. In addition to establishing deep technical barriers, it also has a huge customer base and a complete ecosystem, which creates strong competitive pressure for new market entrants.
Zhang Rujing knew these situations very clearly, and even he had never thought of making a breakthrough in this area.
It’s not that research and development is impossible, it’s just that the software developed will inevitably be inferior to the products of the three major international giants, with high costs and low returns. It is better to make breakthroughs in other fields.
For example, the Xinsheng Semiconductor he founded now is to achieve breakthroughs in the silicon field.
When Wang Donglai heard Zhang Rujing’s question, he immediately understood Zhang Rujing’s thoughts and replied seriously: “I won’t try to explain the importance of EDA software in the semiconductor industry in front of Mr. Zhang, I will just talk about it. My thoughts!”
"In my opinion, China has a long history, which is both an advantage and a burden, because it will require us to become strong again, return to our previous central position in the world, and become a global power. This belongs to a country with an ancient history and civilization. Consensus."
"The transfer of world hegemony is never a simple sentence."
"The Bald Eagle will not give us this opportunity. From the beginning of the millennium, our country's various aspects will be different. Data is advancing by leaps and bounds , the gap with the bald eagle is also shrinking rapidly. From steel to oil, to GDP, our data is rising all the way.”
“In about ten years, many of our total value data will exceed the bald eagle. This is absolutely unacceptable to the Bald Eagle. ”
“Just like when we were prevented from entering the United Nations and unwilling to join the WTO, the Bald Eagle will never sit back and let this happen.”
"Sanctions, blockades, these methods must be used. I think Mr. Zhang should have realized this. Some advanced equipment will not be exported at all, and some key technologies will be kept confidential."
" You can’t say that the bald eagle is selfish, and it’s hard to say that it is shameless. This is the normal relationship between countries.”
“But the butt decides the position. On China’s side, the semiconductor industry is worth trillions every year. market, but most of the profits are taken away by the West, which is obviously unreasonable . ”
“The EDA software market is not large, but it is a key lever to leverage the global integrated circuit market of US$400 billion and the electronic information industry of more than US$1 trillion.”
“ I have also read some information and know that our country In the development process of the EDA industry, we have encountered the dilemma of 'stuck neck'. In the 1980s, we also developed products such as the 'Panda System'. However, under the targeted attack by international giants, the development of my country's EDA industry has almost stagnated. "
"In the last century, such a situation would occur. Then when we get close to the bald eagle data, the bald eagle will inevitably use various means to impose sanctions."
"Not only EDA, but other We will also be fully restricted in areas such as photolithography machines.”
“If you don’t plan for the future, you can’t plan for a while, and if you don’t plan for the overall situation, you can’t plan for a region.”
“The best time to plant a tree is ten years ago and now.”< br>
Semiconductors are Zhang Rujing’s field. I originally wanted to persuade Wang Donglai to give up this idea.
As the saying goes, communication is shallow and deep.
This is the first time Zhang Rujing and Wang Donglai have met. In fact, they should not be persuaded to give up.
However, after talking to Wang Donglai for so long, Zhang Rujing admired Wang Donglai from the bottom of his heart and did not want to see him choose a thorny path and stagger along.
However, while Zhang Rujing's words of persuasion were still brewing in his heart, he was moved again by Wang Donglai's words.
At this age, Zhang Rujing has seen a lot of things in the world, so he just thought about it for a moment and knew that what Wang Donglai said was not just empty talk and random speculation.
Based on his knowledge of bald eagles, something like this would definitely happen.
“In fact, there are domestic companies that have made some progress in EDA. However, in this industry, Synopsis, Kaiden, and Siemens have great advantages. These three overseas giants have adopted the 'endogenous + extension' approach. ' has created a product matrix with powerful functions and complete categories, with obvious competitive advantages. ”
“This industry is also a high-barrier industry and requires the cooperation of a wide variety of software and hardware tools to form a complete tool chain. Requirements and Advanced processes are closely integrated for continuous iteration, which requires a large amount of continuous R&D investment. ”
“To be honest, this industry is extremely difficult for new companies, with large investment amounts and long duration. , product risks are high, these are foreseeable problems.”
“Professor Wang, if you really want to make a breakthrough in this industry, you may have to expect to sit on the bench for a long time. ”
Zhang Rujing warned Wang Donglai in a serious tone.
"Mr. Zhang, I know!"
Wang Donglai nodded. He knew that what Zhang Rujing said was right, but that was only for ordinary people. Not so anymore.
"Well, is there anything you need my help with?"
After thinking about it, Zhang Rujing asked again.
Originally, Zhang Rujing didn't actually have this idea, but after a chat later, he changed his mind.
“Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your kindness. I appreciate it.”
Hearing Zhang Rujing’s words, Wang Donglai didn’t take it seriously. It was just the first time they met and they didn’t have much friendship. He naturally It's not easy to make requests.
What's more, he has no need for help in the first place.
“What I heard from Professor Wang just now is that he wants to localize the entire semiconductor industry?”
Zhang Rujing's eyes flashed, as if he thought of something, and suddenly asked.
“Yes!”
Wang Donglai nodded and admitted.
“Hiss!”
Hearing Wang Donglai’s admission, Zhang Rujing couldn’t help but take a breath of air.
"All domestically produced?"
Zhang Rujing subconsciously calculated in his mind, how much money would it cost to achieve this?
In just an instant, a number appeared in Zhang Rujing's mind.
Three hundred billion!
This is just the most basic, building a factory, equipment, and personnel.
The semiconductor field is complex, with many processes and thousands of different companies in the upper and lower industrial chains.
500 billion is all underestimated.
If you want to really achieve something, you have to at least double it several times before you have any hope.
At this moment, Zhang Rujing suddenly felt that he might have seen the wrong person.
This sentence is completely unlike what a person who understands the semiconductor industry can say.
The upper and lower industrial chains are extremely complex. It is completely impossible for one person or one company to do it all.
Zhang Rujing has also opened a company and stayed in China for several years. He also knows the style of the domestic Internet.
Buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy!
Finally, monopolize the entire market to form a monopoly position, and then start raising prices to make money.
There is nothing novel about this style of play. What stands out is that a man with a lot of money and a lot of money can reach many people.
At this moment, Zhang Rujing couldn't help but think of Wang Donglai as this kind of person, and felt a hint of displeasure in his heart.
However, Wang Donglai also noticed the change in Zhang Rujing's face.
Just thinking about it briefly, I knew the reason.
"Mr. Zhang, do you think my idea is too whimsical and unrealistic?" Wang Donglai didn't panic at all, but took the initiative to ask.
“Isn’t it?”
Zhang Rujing didn't hide it at all, he directly revealed his emotions and said.
"Marx once said very well, if there is 20% profit, capital will be ready to move; if there is 50% profit, capital will take risks; if there is 50% profit, capital will take risks; if there is 50% profit, capital will take risks; if there is 50% profit, capital will take risks. If there is a profit of 100%, capital will dare to risk hanging; if there is a profit of 300%, capital will dare to trample all laws in the world. "When the domestic semiconductor industry becomes a blue ocean, there will be countless people waving their hands. If money wants to enter the market, hundreds of billions or trillions are nothing. . ”
“As long as they see hope and the hope of making big money, they will take money and try every means to enter this industry.”
Zhang Rujingsi Unmoved, he said calmly: "Are you so sure that the blockade and sanctions on Bald Eagle's technology and equipment that you predicted will happen? If these don't happen, I'm afraid you will get nothing out of a bamboo basket. Aren't you afraid? ”
Wang Donglai smiled confidently. He has future memories and is a prophet in this world.
If there is no system, he will only stock up on houses, hoard Bitcoins, and buy a few stocks at the bottom, so that he can retire with peace of mind.
However, since he has a system, he is naturally not satisfied with these small-rich practices.
A man’s ambition should be like the Yangtze River, running eastward into the sea.
He has been in this world, made some achievements, and left his name forever. This is the pursuit of life.
"Mr. Zhang, the general trend of the world is like this. In a few years, we will see the results!"
Wang Donglai said calmly.
“Forget it, let’s not talk about this. Whether we are businessmen or scientific researchers, we can understand politics, but we should not get close to politics. Our status is not suitable for contact with certain things.”
Zhang Rujing waved his hand, not prepared to continue talking about this topic.
……
When Wang Donglai and Chen Lingyue left Xinsheng Semiconductor, Chen Lingyue was filled with confusion.
He really didn't expect that Wang Donglai came here just to chat with Zhang Rujing.
At the same time, I was also a little shocked by what Wang Donglai said during the chat.
Localization of semiconductors.
Just thinking about this project makes those in the know despair.
The majors and fields involved are all high-precision technologies.
The domestic foundation is already poor, and it is even more difficult to catch up.
Thinking this in his heart, Chen Lingyue did not say it out loud.
Because he has chosen to believe in Wang Donglai, he will never go back on his word.
“Boss, should we go back to Tangdu directly or not?” Chen Lingyue asked curiously.
"Go back to Tangdu!"
Wang Dong took a look at the streets of Tangdu and showed no nostalgia.
……
As time goes by.
The news that Galaxy Technology is aggressively recruiting talents in the semiconductor industry has also caused shock in the industry.
The salary and benefits are generous, attracting many employees.
At the same time, the news that Galaxy Technology was entering the semiconductor industry and that Wang Donglai was preparing to develop EDA software also spread.
Not many people care about the former. After all, people familiar with the matter have long known about Galaxy Technology’s layout in the semiconductor industry and have acquired many companies. This is not surprising.
But for Wang Donglai to prepare to develop EDA software, it was shocking.
That’s it for those who don’t know, and those who know either ridicule or sneer.
Even some acquaintances who had always had confidence in Wang Donglai felt that Wang Donglai had made a wrong decision after hearing the news.
However, Wang Donglai and Galaxy Technology turned a deaf ear to the discussions outside and ignored them at all.
In the laboratory.
Wang Donglai muttered to himself and immediately opened his system panel.
In fact, after his abilities improved, Wang Donglai rarely opened the system panel to check his own information.
Because he is deliberately training himself. After all, the system is a foreign object. Unless one day he can completely control the system, he will completely treat the system as a tool.
At present, although it is not a fear, it is also consciously downplaying the existence of the system.
Forging iron requires one's own strength. Wang Donglai does not want to leave the system and become a waste.
The system panel unfolded before Wang Donglai's eyes.

Looking at the information on his panel, Wang Donglai was also a little surprised.
During this period of time, he did not deliberately pay attention to changes in his panel information, but he did not expect that so many of his subjects were facing advancement.
After being slightly surprised, Wang Donglai regained his composure.
After obtaining the Super Academic System, he forced himself to develop the habit of reading. Whenever he had free time, he would read.
There are no restrictions on the types of books you can read, so you can read any book you want.
So, it is not surprising to have such progress.
After carefully looking at the subjects that I was about to upgrade, I hesitated for a moment and decided to upgrade these subjects first.
After all, this won’t waste much time.
