Great Power Technology

In Huaqi's conference room, senior Huaqi executives and official representatives were launching an emergency discussion on the rejection list.

"I think the enemies are all paper tigers. Although it is said that all chip design companies using Yinglong EDA will be included in the rejection list, according to our statistics, my country's small chip design companies still occupy a huge share of low-end chip design. market.”

"Including the fields of power management, multimedia, and video surveillance, they account for more than 90% of the chip design share. If the United States includes all these companies in the rejection list, the impact is likely to be that they themselves will face comparisons in the manufacturing field. A long-term scenario of no chips being available.”

"So, I think we still have to take the initiative and explain the pros and cons to the practitioners. We can't even dare to show our swords when the other party makes a move, right?"

The speaker was a senior official of the official Development and Reform Commission named Li Xiang. He was nearly 60 years old. The idea of ​​seeking development through struggle had been deeply rooted in his mind, so when faced with the threat of the enemy, his first The first response is not to compromise, but to confront the enemy head-on.

"Leader, your starting point is good, but it is a bit unrealistic."

"It is true that we have an advantage in the low-end chip field, but this is not an irreplaceable advantage."

"The entry barrier is too low. These chips can be designed by us today, but if there is an emergency, all the other chip design companies can design all the chips they need in the next year overnight."

"This is a crushing of technical strength, and we must admit this gap."

A technical executive from Huaji raised his hand and answered.

He could understand the official ambitions. After all, at the moment when Yinglong EDA was born, when domestic chips were about to make great progress, they suddenly faced such a heavy blow from the enemy. It was difficult for anyone to accept the reality.

But in his view, ideals are one thing and facts are another.

The reality now is that there's really nothing they can do about this rejection list.

"Then what do you mean, we can only watch our companies compromise? Watching them have to purchase the enemy's products even though they have better and cheaper options?"

"Isn't this just paying tribute? Come on, tell me, what's the difference between this approach and the previous land cession and compensation?"

Li Xiang's face showed a bit of anger. He was not a person who did not tell the truth, but on such big issues of right and wrong, he was always more inclined to make short-term sacrifices.

If he is a business owner, he would rather not make money but support new domestic technologies. This is the consciousness of an organizational member.

"Leader, I understand what you mean. Like us at Huaqi, even if we are not on the rejection list now, we can guarantee that we will definitely choose Yinglong EDA. However, if I were a small business owner, I would not be able to make this choice. .”

"Huaji's current size, current cash flow, and our overseas ICT business, even if we rest on our laurels, are enough for us to survive for three to five years. But other small businesses are not like this."

"Today they are on the rejection list. Tomorrow the bank will take away their loans. The day after tomorrow they will not be able to put food on the table. The day after tomorrow they may not even be able to pay their children's school fees."

"In this case, do you have the heart to force them?"

This senior technical officer of Huaji came from the countryside. He has been with Huaji for twenty years and has reached his current position through his own hard work. However, he has never taken his eyes away from the class where he was born.

He knows the sufferings of the people, and he also knows that things are impermanent.

Wearing an exquisite suit, drinking a cup of coffee that costs tens of dollars, and then shouting cheap slogans at a meeting that can determine the fate of many people is, in his opinion, the most stupid behavior.

none of them.

Li Xiang was silent for a long time, and finally sighed deeply.

"I'm sorry, I lost my temper. I hope everyone here can understand. What happened in the past few days is a bit unbearable even for me at this age. Things are changing."

"Xiao Zhao is right. We cannot use wishful ideals to challenge people's jobs. Therefore, regarding the rejection list, we should not interfere too much for the time being."

As soon as he finished speaking, another man in Mao suit raised his hand and said:

"You can't completely avoid interference."

It is the leader who speaks.

"Our suggestion here is to allocate appropriate financial funds to subsidize key chip design companies to help them use Yinglong first. As long as there are people using Yinglong, we will still have a chance."

"Of course, this quota will not be given to Hua Ji. You have to shoulder it yourself."

"clear."

Mowan, who was sitting in the inner circle, nodded in agreement.

Li Xiang nodded and asked:

“So in your opinion, how big does this funding need to be?”

The leader of the Finance Bureau took out a notebook and pushed it in front of the other party, and continued to explain:

"We have made preliminary calculations. According to current estimates, we will need approximately 300 to 350 million yuan."

"This fund must be allocated to nearly 60 domestic companies, with an average of about 5 million per company."

"This amount of money can almost support them for a year. But if it's more, we won't be able to come up with it."

Everyone in the venue frowned.

One year is really too short.

Companies that enter the rejection list face a comprehensive blockade. Until the chips are completely produced in China, no one will OEM for them, and naturally no one will choose to trade with them.

Even Chinese-owned enterprises like Huaxin International cannot have anything to do with these chip design companies.

These small companies will face a situation of complete isolation and fighting on their own.

And this situation is the easiest to kill.

"It's too short, can you make more money? You are the God of Wealth, and the God of Wealth just wants to make money!"

"It's really impossible to get it. Funds of this size can only be spent after we apply for annual budget adjustments. It can be said that after spending it, we will not leave ourselves any room for the next few years."

"I have already made preparations for salary arrears. If there is an unexpected lack of funds at that time, salary deductions will start from me first."

After hearing this, Director Li Xiang fell completely silent.

To this extent, he really can't push too hard.

The venue was silent, but in this desperate silence, there was a voice that was particularly harsh.

It was the sound of someone typing on the keyboard rapidly.

Everyone looked at the source of the sound and found that the person who was completely aloof from the discussion and did not participate in the discussion from beginning to end, just typing on the keyboard, was none other than Chen Hao.

Chen Hao from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

"Chen Hao, what are you doing? Are you not paying attention to such an important meeting?"

Li Xiang had a bit of displeasure on his face.

Chen Hao didn't look up. He continued to type on the keyboard and click on the mouse. It wasn't until those pictures were completely presented in front of him that he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

it is true.

Now, the destiny of the country lies with me and the heavy responsibility rests on my shoulders.

He raised his head, turned the laptop screen to everyone, and then said:

"I was listening just now, and I heard Lao Liu saying that the funds can only support the matter for one year."

"But now I have a new judgment."

"If what I just got is true, it will probably take less than a year for the chip industry to be 100% localized."

Facing everyone's surprised looks, he stretched out two fingers.

"Just two months."
