Early the next morning, Ye Zhou received a call from Lu Xu.

"Hello, Ye Zhou?"

"Brother Xu is here, tell me."

Lu Xu's voice sounded a little tired. Ye Zhou looked at his phone sleepily. It was only 6 o'clock in the morning.

It's Sunday, don't these people in Huaji sleep?

"It's like this. We have a procurement strategy summit with suppliers today, with Synopsys. We plan to reduce Synopsys' share at this meeting - in fact, their restrictions are already ridiculous, so we will not continue Procurement is necessary.”

"However, we need to guarantee the bottom line. So, can you give us the Yinglong EDA program in advance?"

"No problem, I can send the computer to Area A in a moment. But I have a question. Does Huaji plan to reveal Yinglong EDA directly at the summit?"

Ye Zhou asked worriedly.

At present, the main functions of Yinglong EDA are complete, but a series of other auxiliary functions including encryption have not yet been developed. If it is made public now, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble.

"It will not be made public today. Our plan is to gradually replace the currently used EDA with Yinglong EDA within a week, and the data migration will be completed within a month."

"One month??"

Ye Zhou was shocked.

Based on his understanding of chip design, the historical data accumulated by companies like Huaji is massive. If it were to be migrated, it would not be possible in half a year.

But Lu Xu actually said that the replacement would be started within a week and the data migration would be completed within a month?

Are you kidding me?

"Yes, time waits for no one. EDA eats up too much of our company's profits - not only our company, but other domestic companies also urgently need a domestic EDA. The official time given to us is one month. Within one month After that, you will publicly release Ying Long on behalf of Micro Fusion."

"Understood."

Ye Zhou nodded heavily. He once again saw Hua Ji's efficiency.

"Okay, for Yinglong's specific quotation, experts from our pricing center will help you design strategies, but if you have your own ideas, you can always put them forward through me, and I will be responsible for fully communicating with you later."

Ye Zhou didn't think much about pricing. In fact, the money he received now was enough for him to do many things.

Rather than obtaining more profits through this Yinglong EDA, what he cares more about is realizing as soon as possible the future that those forefathers did not pay for with their lives.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Zhou replied:

"I have no requirements on pricing, but there is one condition that I must meet. If I can't do it, I would rather not sell Yinglong."

Lu Xuxu on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment.

He didn't know what kind of idea Ye Zhou would come up with, or whether it would be difficult to implement the idea.

However, when the other party proposed it at this time, they actually couldn't refuse.

That 150 million payment was, at best, an advance payment. At worst, it was just a benefit payment to Ye Zhou before the pre-sales contract was signed.

If he suddenly doesn't want to sell Yinglong anymore, he can return the money at any time - even if he doesn't.

After a few seconds of silence, he asked:

"What kind of conditions? Why don't you tell me first?"

"it's actually really easy."

Ye Zhou coughed, as if someone was looking at him in the void, and sat upright on the sofa in the living room, holding the phone in one hand and placing the other squarely on his knee.

"My request is that Yinglong EDA can only be sold exclusively in China."

"It is not allowed to be exported abroad, nor is it allowed to be used by domestic companies controlled by foreign capital. At the same time, I want to ensure that Yinglong's quotation is affordable to all mainstream domestic chip design companies."

Lu Xu on the other end of the phone breathed a deep sigh of relief.

"Heroes see the same thing. This is also the consensus reached by our company and the government. Don't worry, there are no traitors among us."

"That's good. I'll be there around eight o'clock, okay?"

"I'm very sorry, but could you please come over now? We will arrange breakfast for you at the company. The driver has already notified you. He is waiting for you downstairs now."

"Okay, I'll brush my teeth and come over."

Ye Zhou sat up suddenly, put on his slippers and ran to the bathroom. Lu Xu on the other end of the phone said a few words of apology, but listening to his tired voice, Ye Zhou suddenly felt that his energy to wake up had subsided.

The other party obviously hadn't slept all night, but he didn't know if they had slept together in the past two days since he showed Yinglong EDA.

These brothers can handle it, and they really stay up late at night.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Zhou didn't even change his clothes and went downstairs with his slippers on. Alpha downstairs was flashing his eyes and the car door was open. When he walked to the car, a blanket was handed to him just right. In his hands.

"Mr. Ye, the seat heating has been turned on for you. Our destination is Area A. The journey will take about 40 minutes. You can rest in the car for a while."

"Thanks a lot."

"Thank you for your hard work."

The driver smiled, turned back and started the car.

There was no words all the way, and Ye Zhou fell into sleep in less than five minutes. When the driver woke him up again, he had already appeared at the door of the internal office building in Area A.

Lu Xu stood in the early morning sunshine waiting for him. As soon as Ye Zhou got out of the car, he hurriedly pulled Ye Zhou towards the office building.

Ye Zhou opened the bag and took out two hard drives. After carefully distinguishing them, he handed one of them to Lu Xu.

"Here are all the programs of Yinglong EDA, including user manuals and development documents. You can take them first."

Lu Xu waved his hand and replied:

"I can't take it now. I have to sign the contract first. Let's go, the contract is ready and waiting for you."

Lu Xu opened a door, and Ye Zhou walked in and saw that his tired face suddenly became lively.

There were only two people sitting across the conference table, but those two people were legends in the entire communications industry.

However, these two people did not have the domineering attitude that Ye Zhou thought they would be able to resist.

The old man waved to him with a smile and said in a hoarse voice:

"Come on, Lu Xu, tell the cafeteria to bring breakfast over. We'll read the contract while we eat, and call the lawyer over."

His face was haggard, as if he hadn't slept all night like Lu Xu, but his eyes were frighteningly bright.

"No, no, I'll take a look as soon as possible and sign it right away."

Ye Zhou sat down at the conference table. Lu Xu handed the contract to him and turned to send a text message to notify the lawyer. The woman beside him said warmly:

"Don't worry, this is just an initialed framework contract. There are not many specific details. As long as you request it later, we can make contract changes at any time until you are satisfied with the terms."

Ye Zhou nodded, opened the contract and read it quickly.

This framework contract was only a little over 5 pages long. By the time Lu Xu walked back to the conference room, he had already read the terms, picked up the signature pen, and signed his name at the signature place.

The lawyer who walked in looked at Ye Zhou and then at Lu Xu.

"Do you still need me here?"

Before Lu Xu could answer, the old man on the other side said:

"Stay and have breakfast together."
