EDA is the abbreviation of Electronic Design Automation. It is a design method that uses computer-aided design software to complete the functional design, synthesis, verification, physical design and other processes of very large-scale integrated circuit chips.
In other words, to put it more clearly, EDA software is an important software for designing, packaging and testing chips, and it is also a very important link.
Wang Donglai can design a set of advanced packaging design solutions, then a problem will arise.
Which design software did Wang Donglai use to complete the design?
In fact, someone had thought of this as early as when the advanced packaging design scheme was circulated.
However, not many people delve into this matter.
Because no matter which software Wang Donglai uses, it must be a foreign brand design software.
After all, the performance of domestic software is obvious to all.
However, these overseas companies know very well that Wang Donglai is not using their design software.
The reason is very simple, because they still know how powerful the products they launched are, and they cannot achieve the performance of the advanced package designed by Wang Donglai.
With Qualcomm's ability, it is natural that it also knows this.
In the conference room.
Warren listened to the discussion and already made a decision in his heart.
He tapped the table lightly, causing everyone to stop arguing and turn their heads to look at him.
“Whether Wang Donglai’s achievements are true or false, the technology patents held by Galaxy Technology are real. They are Chinese Internet companies with real technology reserves, not those with no technical content. Companies that parody us ”
"Right now, Galaxy Technology's company valuation has reached hundreds of billions in the market. However, these shares are all concentrated on the founders. This is completely unreasonable."
"I have decided, We need to teach this scholar-businessman from China a small lesson.”
“The reason why we can charge patent fees on each mobile phone is because we have this strength, and Galaxy Technology wants to rely on it. With one or two patents, we want to catch up with our years of technical reserves and bypass patent barriers. We must teach him a lesson!”
“Only in this way will he know that the sky is high and the sky is high. When the time comes, the company can invest a sum of money into Galaxy Technology. If possible, I hope to reach a patent cooperation. At this point, you go down I will make a plan later.”
“Last point, I would like to remind everyone that Wang Donglai is a target on the NSA’s special list. If you underestimate it, you will undoubtedly point at the big shots in the NSA and call them trash. ! ”
"Are they trash? No, so you still have to keep your spirits up. If you complete the task this time, I think you can all have a happy Christmas."
"I don't like failure, and a Those who fail don’t deserve to stay here!”
As the CEO of Qualcomm, Warren was keenly aware of everyone’s conflicts and disputes during the quarrel just now, so at the end of the day, , and then deliberately beat everyone.
Sure enough, after Warren said these words with a knocking effect, everyone's expressions became serious.
The previous competitive atmosphere also dissipated.
"I have an idea. We can use the advanced packaging design scheme designed by Professor Wang as an entry point, contact the EDA Alliance to put pressure on China, and then contact the executives of major EDA software companies to ask them to come forward. Question this plan."
"Based on my understanding of China, when it comes to these overseas companies, China will definitely pay attention to it, and the pressure will naturally be on Galaxy Technology."
"At the same time , we can also let it out that we will block EDA software in China, increase the review standards, and ban some users’ violations.”
“In this way, those companies in China will be affected. In order to prevent this from happening, they will also direct their anger at the initiator, Galaxy Technology."
"The next thing is very simple. There are only two things in front of Professor Wang. The way to go. ”
"Either prove your innocence, come up with your own ideas for designing this advanced packaging design, and make it semi-public. In this way, major EDA companies can also get inspiration and quickly improve their strength."
"Another One option is that Professor Wang chooses to fight hard and refuse to admit it or bring it out. In this way, we can sue, impose certain sanctions, or pass some measures. Using various means to exert pressure can also suppress the valuation of Galaxy Technology.”
“No matter from which aspect, Professor Wang and Galaxy Technology have no way to break the situation, no matter how they choose. It’s a situation we want to see, and we can all benefit from it.”
The white executive’s eyes flashed shrewdly, and he said lightly with a reserved and proud smile on his face.
This set of plans is linked to one another.
From all aspects, it is an extremely qualified plan.
So, Warren did not hesitate and immediately decided: "Okay, let's do it according to this idea. This task is more important, so you can be more bold when taking action! ”
“Yes!”
The white executive responded immediately.
At this point, a plan to use the monopoly of technology and the right to speak within the industry to put pressure on Wang Donglai was completely formed.
...
Things were exactly as Qualcomm executives expected.
After the EDA Alliance and many international EDA software company executives questioned Wang Donglai on multiple occasions.
A faint pressure suddenly appeared in the country.
Wang Donglai’s phone number and Galaxy Technology’s phone number have also been bombarded in the past two days.
All kinds of people called.
Among them were professors from other universities whom Wang Donglai knew, as well as some experts and scholars in the semiconductor field, and some Shabi who kept asking Wang Donglai to confess and disclose his technology.
While the incident was gradually brewing, Wang Donglai was not idle either.
Originally, he was preparing to carry out the next stage of research and development work.
However, after this incident, Wang Donglai suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity.
The time is not far away when Bald Eagle will truly impose large-scale sanctions on the country, arbitrarily impose tariffs, and impose technology and product restrictions.
Wang Donglai naturally cannot really wait until that time to lead the major domestic companies to build a domestic alliance.
And now, there is a good opportunity.
He can definitely use this matter to take a closer look at which companies will stand on the foreign side and wave the flag.
For these companies, Wang Donglai will not specifically target them, but will not play with them in the later development.
With this idea in mind, although Wang Donglai was a little tired of these inexplicable calls, he still continued patiently.
Watching Wang Donglai say nothing, Galaxy Technology did not respond.
Bob, the director of the EDA Alliance, spoke publicly again.
This time, Bob's words were even more intense. He mentioned Wang Donglai by name. In his words, he analyzed and judged the advanced packaging design scheme designed by Wang Donglai from all aspects. Finally, The conclusion is that the design scheme developed by Wang Donglai is not in line with the development status of China's semiconductor field at all, so this design scheme is likely to be plagiarized from other companies, and it is likely to be a patent infringement incident. .
As soon as these words came out, the heat skyrocketed again.
Wang Donglai, who was sitting in Tangdu listening to the storm, was also bothered by phone calls one after another.
Even Manager Hu made a special call to inquire about the situation.
Facing Manager Hu, Wang Donglai naturally no longer concealed anything.
After explaining clearly, he also expressed his idea of unifying domestic semiconductor companies to form a domestic alliance.
After this idea was put forward, it was immediately approved and recognized by Manager Hu. Manager Hu is also a knowledgeable person. If what Wang Dong said is true, then Qin Province will benefit even more after the establishment of this alliance.
And what needs to be paid is nothing at all.
As a result, Manager Hu naturally had no objection at all.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Donglai knew that he could no longer sit back and watch this matter ferment.
So, the official website of Galaxy Technology immediately released an announcement that Wang Donglai had prepared long ago.
The content of the announcement is very simple. It first rejects the doubts and speculations of major overseas EDA companies, then announces that Galaxy Technology has developed domestic EDA software, and finally lists the malicious slander and evaluation of Galaxy Technology during this period. list of people, claiming that they would use legal means to initiate defamation and defamation lawsuits, and asked everyone to apologize.
In this list of personnel, there are not only some people from China, but also some people from abroad, such as Bob, the director of the EDA Alliance, and others such as Synopsys Technology, Kaideng Electronic Technology, Siemens executives voiced doubts.
The main thing is equal treatment, regardless of domestic and overseas!
This announcement and this list immediately caused an uproar, just like a boulder falling on the lake.
No one thought that Galaxy Technology would be so strong, and it did not have the slightest fear in the face of international giant companies.
Laymen may value Galaxy Technology’s courage and arrogance in facing foreign authoritative institutions and major international manufacturers without hesitation and suing if they disagree.
Those who are experts in the semiconductor field are shocked that Galaxy Technology has actually developed an EDA software.
You must know that in this regard, major manufacturers such as Synopsys Technology and Kaideng Electronic Technology have always been the overlords, monopolizing 95% of the market.
There is no such technical soil and talent in China, and it is also because it is very difficult to bypass the technology patents of these large manufacturers. Finally, it is because the domestic market is too small.
The market size is small, research and development is difficult, the investment is large, and the risks are high.
Calculating this, naturally there are very few companies investing in this area.
Everyone in the know knows this, so they were extremely shocked when they learned that Galaxy Technology had developed an EDA software.
Besides being shocked, everyone also became curious.
Want to know whether Galaxy Technology is just talking hard or if it really has real materials, it has developed a domestic EDA software.
And, how is the performance of this domestic EDA software, can it be compared with the EDA software products of Synopsys Technology and Kaideng Electronic Technology.
In the minds of domestic insiders, a subconscious idea has arisen. As long as the EDA software produced by Galaxy Technology is not ridiculously bad, just because it is domestic industrial design software, it will be a victory.
There are not many people who sincerely believe that Galaxy Technology will develop an excellent domestic EDA software.
Magic City.
Xinsheng Semiconductor.
As soon as Zhang Rujing saw the news, he dialed Wang Donglai's number.
"What a kid, you even hid it from me."
Zhang Rujing's tone was full of joy, and there was also a trace of hidden shock.
He could be said to be the first person to know that Wang Donglai was planning to develop EDA software, but when Wang Donglai came out at the time, he was not very optimistic about it.
Because he is very aware of the difficulty of developing EDA software, bypassing the patents of foreign EDA software companies is only the first step.
Next, it is necessary to have extremely outstanding talents and teams with sufficient understanding of the semiconductor field in order to develop a qualified EDA software in a targeted manner.
Finally, it is necessary to make this design software reach the commercial level, and the tools and templates must meet the standards.
The stacking up of requirements makes it extremely difficult to develop this software.
It is precisely because of understanding that Zhang Rujing is not optimistic.
As a result, Wang Donglai gave him a surprise.
In just a short time, Wang Donglai has developed domestic EDA software and designed a set of advanced packaging design solutions.
"Mr. Zhang, I actually planned to make it public in these two days, but I didn't expect that foreign countries would be so malicious towards me, so I deliberately waited for two days."
Listening to Wang Donglai's explanation, Zhang Rujing's face also looked a little ugly.
“These giant foreign companies are completely vultures. They will not attack you for no reason. It must be because you have violated their interests, or they have seen some interests in you, so they will waste their money. Such a big Zhou Zhang made this matter a big deal.”
"I'm more worried now. Even if you come up with the EDA software you developed yourself, they won't give up and will think of other ways."
Zhang Rujing originally developed a domestic EDA because of Wang Donglai The excitement about the software slowly faded away.
Instead, I made a guess about the practices of these companies based on my own experience and insights.
"Mr. Zhang, I know this, and I also roughly know why they are targeting me."
Zhang Rujing suddenly became curious and asked doubtfully: "Why?"
"Mr. Zhang, Galaxy Technology is not listed. There is no financing, all the shares are in my hands, but the market value is so high, and I have so many valuable technology patents. Isn’t it normal for the capital vultures in the West to target me? ”
Wang Donglai told the real reason in an understatement.
"Hiss..."
Zhang Rujing took a breath of air. Although he was also a senior executive in a giant company, he still had a technical background after all and had no experience in these aspects. Therefore, after Wang Dong finished speaking, he react.
Involving Galaxy Technology’s shares and the market valuation of hundreds of billions, Zhang Rujing couldn’t say much, so he changed the subject and said: “Since you have developed domestic EDA software, you should develop it as soon as possible. Explain this matter clearly, otherwise, if it continues to ferment, it will also affect your company's international reputation. The reputation and image on the Internet are detrimental to the future development of your company!”
“Do you need my help? I have some contacts abroad, so I can’t help you much, but this little help is no problem! ”
Hearing Zhang Rujing’s passionate and sincere words, Wang Donglai suddenly felt a warmth in his heart.
"Mr. Zhang, we can't fall into the trap of self-evidence, and we can't let them lead us by the nose. Since they say that I am suspected of plagiarism and have infringement, then I will directly sue them for defamation. It doesn't matter how much money is spent. The main thing is that, They must provide evidence to prove that they are not slandering."
"Treat others in their own way!"
Wang Donglai decisively rejected Zhang Rujing's suggestion. It's about speaking your mind.
Zhang Rujing held the phone and nodded. Wang Donglai's response was indeed better than his own suggestion.
"Mr. Zhang, I am going to hold a conference in the semiconductor field in Tangdu and invite domestic scholars and related entrepreneurs in this field. Do you have time?"
Wang Donglai suddenly spoke up about business and asked Zhang Rujing.
Zhang Rujing didn't think too much and agreed immediately. She couldn't help but feel a little curious in her heart as to what Wang Donglai was planning to do.
Invite domestic scholars and experts in this field, as well as relevant practitioners.
Although the development situation in the domestic semiconductor field is not good, it is still quite large.
For so many industry insiders to come together, it will definitely not be a small matter.
Especially Wang Donglai took the initiative to invite.
Remembering what Wang Donglai had said to him before, Zhang Rujing's heart moved, and he roughly made a guess, and said with a smile: "Okay, I am also a bit thin-faced. If you don't mind, I will help you too. How about spreading the word and inviting more people to participate?"
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang!" Wang Donglai expressed his sincere thanks. (End of this chapter)
