With the arrival of recruited employees, the usable area on the ninth floor has shrunk dramatically, and there are now more than 130 workstations alone, plus 10 private offices.

These offices are composed of Li Mingliu, Tian Yaoming, Xi Xiaoding, Su Yuanshan, Qin Weimin, Su Xinghe, and Sun Xihui in logistics. The remaining two offices are used for workstations.

In view of the fact that Su Xinghe, the boss, is often absent, his largest office is also used as a conference room from time to time.

As for personnel allocation, the largest number of people in the four teams of Yuanxin is the EDA team including after-sales under Xi Xiaoding, with more than 60 people. followed by Tian Yaoming's communication team of nearly 30 people, and the remaining Li Mingliu and Qin Weimin were divided into about 20 people.

Among them, Tian Yaoming and Qin Weimin's team will theoretically not be able to produce results for a while and a half, and at this stage, it can only do purely theoretical research. And even Li Mingliu actually couldn't see through Su Yuanshan's meaning of asking him to engage in video decoding - MPEG has not yet become an international standard, and even if it is made, there is no product available.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, Yuanxin purely relies on one EDA to raise three teams that cannot see returns.

But in Su Yuanshan's eyes, the company's current personnel structure is far from enough, and if they want to really make achievements in the semiconductor industry in the future, these people will have to expand at least a hundred times to barely be enough. Take advantage of the low salary now, if you can afford it, then raise it first, it is best to be able to produce patents, and if you can't come out, at least you can come up with some ideas, which is better than not touching it.

Summoned everyone for a small meeting, Su Yuanshan returned to his office and discussed the architectural layout of the decoding chip with Li Mingliu.

According to Su Yuanshan's vision, this video decoding chip needs to be highly integrated, which directly breaks the thoughts of other companies. But in this way, there is a problem - Huajing can't handle it.

Huajing's wafer factory is still five inches and 2 microns, and the special packaging method is still plastic packaging, which is a bit embarrassing. Of course, it is not that plastic packaging is not good, after all, the voltage required by CMOS chips is low and the heat generation is small, which is just suitable for plastic packaging - such as pagers, and there is no problem in using them.

But VCD is different, because to continuously decode the video, the amount of computation is not comparable to the pager chip. In addition, the existence of optical drives makes VCD itself a large heating customer, and it is inevitable that various problems will occur when it is packaged in plastic.

Now there are many companies that can produce process chips below 2 microns, such as TI, Intel, AMD, UMC, TSMC, and many chip factories in the neon country in the east.

However, looking for these factories, a set of chip tape-out alone will cost nearly one million dollars, and the market effect will not be seen in the short term.

Home consumer products such as VCD are not as big as big brothers, paging communication products. It doesn't have natural self-propagation properties - a simple example is that you own a VCD and a few of your neighbors know about it. But communication products are different, after buying a mobile phone and pager, your entire circle of friends and relatives will know.

At the beginning, Wan Yan planted a heel, firstly, there was no registered patent for the whole machine, and secondly, it cost too much money to promote the concept of VCD in the early stage, coupled with insufficient follow-up funds and insufficient content, so it was directly stepped on by the subsequent manufacturers who entered, and became a stepping stone in the quagmire, and was used by countless people as a negative teaching material from time to time.

Even the CEO of a VCD was ashamed to say: "I never make a bird, I don't do a strange market"

Although this sentence is shameless, it does have some truth, especially when there is a shortage of money.

"Why don't you choose 2 microns, and it's a big deal for us to make the chip bigger and get a heat sink?" Li Mingliu suggested.

Su Yuanshan held a pen to his chin, stared at the project list, and frowned deeply: "The theory is feasible, but the cost is too high, and it is not competitive." ”

Li Mingliu was stunned: "No one should do this now, right?"

"It's hard to say. Su Yuanshan shook his head and said in a deep voice: "In this way, let's go according to the previous train of thought." We can't give up the advanced design and choose the backward one. ”

"What about tape-outs?"

"Give up Huajing, find TI or NEC or UMC - anyway, our EDA has to enter the international market, these giants always have to contact, and it is better to bring business to the door than to sell products. Su Yuanshan grabbed the pen and quickly signed the project list: "Two months, can you handle it? If you can do it, I'll go to Senior Brother Weimin." ”

"......," Li Mingliu lowered his head and groaned. He knew that Su Yuanshan, the demon, was not only a BOSS level in terms of program design, but even Qin Weimin, who was the strongest in chip design, was an out-and-out true genius. If Su Yuanshan continues to work with him, the time will be saved by at least half a month.

"No problem!" Li Mingliu raised his head and smiled after signing it: "You can't make everyone feel that you can't do anything without you." ”

For this sentence, Su Yuanshan really didn't know how to take it, so he had to shake his head and smile.

Seeing Li Mingliu straighten his waist and go out, Su Yuanshan grabbed the document bag and went up to the tenth floor.

*

A month ago, the decoration of the tenth floor began, first stared at by the uncle, and then the uncle went to Jiangyin to be responsible for the construction of the factory and transferred it to Sun Xihui, who was in charge of logistics.

Sun Xihui is Chinese New Year's Eve today, but in a black and white dress, she looks similar to a girl in her twenties, and even has a more temperament. She was originally the general affairs of a primary school in the lower county of the provincial capital, and after the merger of the primary schools, she, a private teacher, would have no place for a while, and if she wanted to continue teaching, she could only go to the countryside, or she would study for the middle school teacher. Later, when she went to the provincial city for further study, she saw the recruitment of Yuanxin, and was frightened by Yuanxin's salary, relying on her experience and ability as a general affairs officer in the school, she was selected by Zhang Ke almost nothing and began to be responsible for the logistics of Yuanxin.

At this time, the upstairs cleaning had come to an end, and Sun Xihui carefully covered the slides borrowed from the electrical department with silk cloth to prevent the ash layer.

"Sister Sun. ”

"Mr. Su. ”

"Well, there are more than sixty people here tomorrow, and we will be responsible for the meals, you may need to contact Boss Cai of the restaurant in advance, so as not to make our friends from afar hungry. ”

"No problem. Sun Xihui smiled at Su Yuanshan: "Mr. Su, will you come to class tomorrow?"

"No, I'm here to try it. ”

Seeing this, Sun Xihui removed the silk cloth, immediately turned around and picked up the basin, sprinkled a circle of water around it, and at the same time instructed the cleaners to be careful of dust.

After a while, the garbage was gone, and she went around and pulled the curtains. Seeing this, Su Yuanshan also hurried to help - the entire floor was nearly 1,500 square meters, and a person had to be tired to death if he ran along the edge.

Waiting until the surroundings became dark, Su Yuanshan returned to the front hall and turned on the slide projector. Now the company does not have enough computers, and there is no projector, so I have to use the original way of slides + pictures and text to teach.

Sun Xihui ran around, and when she returned to the slide projector, she was already a little tired and panting slightly.

"That...... Mr. Su. ”

"What's the matter?" Su Yuanshan replied casually, he stared at the curtain and adjusted the focus.

"My uncle's son opened a computer training department in the provincial capital...... Although I found a teacher, I think that no matter how good the teacher is, it is not as good as our company. So I don't know if we can ask our engineers to take a class during the break, and they will give money. ”

When Sun Xihui saw Su Yuanshan turn around, he was immediately a little nervous: "It's just using weekends and off-duty time, I don't know if I can ...... it."

"Absolutely. Su Yuanshan couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "If you ask me what I'm doing, you just ask them directly." ”

Sun Xihui sighed: "It's not that I'm afraid of bad influence." ”

"No, I said that there have been many training departments in the provincial capital recently, which one is your relative opening?"

"It's on the side of the first ring road, on Taiping Street. It's called Oriental Computer Training Department. ”

"Oh, I did. Su Yuanshan remembered that every time he passed by Taiping Street, he seemed to be able to see a big signboard, saying that it was a famous teacher teaching programming, and smiled: "We are a private company, and all the time after work belongs to individuals." In other words, even state-owned enterprises can't manage this......"

"Okay! Thank you, Mr. Su, and welcome Mr. Su to guide the work. ”

"There was a chance to learn about it. ”

Su Yuanshan smiled and responded casually, and turned off the slide projector after adjusting the focus.

In addition to Huajing's engineers, there are also large semiconductor companies such as Belling and Yandong Microelectronics, as well as some lecturers from the provincial university and electrical department.

The names of the units that come are not small, so tomorrow's opening speaker is Xi Xiaoding, and the whole company is the highest in his qualifications.
