Yang Yiwen drove Su Yuanshan back to the villa to sleep, Xi Xiaoding picked up the piece of paper, sent an email to Carly, and then opened the forum.

After a wave of publicity at the CeBIT exhibition, and with the continuous release of some technical articles and troubleshooting solutions of Yuanxin EDA plus several official plug-ins, the daily number of visits to the forum has increased from one or two hundred to thousands, which is not bad compared to other forums - after all, young people now play the most in each school's own forum.

Just as he finished writing the announcement and was about to release it, he suddenly stopped.

Looking up at Qin Si, who was about to go out, Xi Xiaoding asked, "Xiao Si, in terms of the current market, how much is an IP in the field of IC design worth?"

Qin thought for a few seconds and then replied cautiously: "It's hard to say this, if it's those IPs from Intel...... That's right, hundreds of millions of dollars are worth it, and people don't sell them yet. ”

Xi Xiaoding couldn't cry or laugh: "It's simple, just an ordinary IC design scheme or even an idea." ”

"That's cheap, depending on the use, the man-hours, and the field. The cheapest may be a few thousand dollars, after all, this is similar to the wheel in programming, because it is made by industry software, so it is charged. ”

"Understood. ”

Xi Xiaoding added another article to the announcement - an open source design scheme based on Yuanxin EDA, and at the same time adjusted the bonus.

After the announcement was sent, Carly's email was quickly replied, and she didn't answer immediately, but asked, "Is your boss the wonder boy?"

Xi Xiaoding was dumbfounded - this place in Silicon Valley is too small, and for the field of application software, Su Yuanshan's nickname last year is nothing. But in the semiconductor industry, especially in the field of IC design, his fame is really too big. And his background from the East has cast a veil of mystery over him - some stupid conspiracy theorists even suspect that he used an intelligence booster secretly developed by the Xia Kingdom, which is an experimental product and is not human.

After replying with a YES, Carly immediately replied with two letters: OK.

Seeing that Carly agreed so simply, Xi Xiaoding was a little suspicious that she just wanted to see if Su Yuanshan was the legendary non-human, nothing more.

......

The next day, Fields Cafe.

Su Yuanshan knew that a strong woman like Carly would never like to be late, so he specially arrived half an hour early. And before going out, he asked Yang Yiwen to help him and Xi Xiaoding have a fight.

At nine-fifty, a lean woman pushed through the door, and although she was nearly forty years old, her proper clothing and lean temperament made her look younger than her actual age. As soon as she entered the door, Carly looked at Xi Xiaoding, and after nodding, she met Su Yuanshan's gaze, and walked towards the booth while looking.

"Hello, Ms. Carly. Su Yuanshan took the initiative to get up and introduced himself: "I am Su Yuanshan. ”

"You know me?"

"There aren't many people in Silicon Valley who are as good as Ms. Carly, and even fewer are beautiful. Su Yuanshan's fingers intersected and said with a smile: "Intersect, just you." ”

Xi Xiaoding on the side sighed secretly - he really couldn't do such a blatant slap on the back.

Carly was in a good mood and sat down facing Su Yuanshan: "You don't want to compliment me when you ask me out today, do you?"

In view of Su Yuanshan and Xi Xiaoding's oriental background, although Carly agreed quickly yesterday, she still did some work to speculate on Su Yuanshan's intentions when she went back—she naturally thought of the introduction project with Xia Guohuajing that she was responsible for some time ago.

It's just that now that both sides have negotiated and the Ministry of Commerce has approved, what else is he looking for himself to do when the package has passed?

"That's right, Miss Carly. I'd like to hear your market predictions for two new products at the show in two days, a digital video player based on MPEG1 and a home short-range wireless telephone. ”

"Are you asking me for advice?" asked Carly with a smile almost as if the condition had happened, but she immediately realized that she was thinking too much.

She glanced at Su Yuanshan deeply, and her eyes became a little uncertain.

Silicon Valley is too small, and everyone is interested in Yuanxin, a company that became popular in Las Vegas half a year ago. But there is a little more contempt for OCSS Xinghai, which was established as an "agent" - the agent came to Silicon Valley, isn't this a hillbilly entering the Academy of Sciences?

But it turns out that this Xinghai is really not an agent. Not long after its establishment, they recruited a lot of troops, engaged in research and development while investing, and soon had the atmosphere of a new technology company.

But due to commercial reasons, everyone only knows that Xinghai is developing software and hardware together, but there is no way to know what it is.

Now Su Yuanshan told him that he was about to launch a digital player and a wireless telephone - is this the result of their research and development in the past six months?

Then he asked himself...... Do you want to invite yourself?

Carly thought for a moment and replied in the most rigorous of words, "I haven't seen the product and I don't understand the features, so there's no way to predict." ”

"Are you interested in taking a look?" Su Yuanshan still smiled: "Actually, we still have a commercial software that will be put on the market soon." If Ms. Carly is the CEO of Xinghai, we have a total of several project teams waiting for you to make a big difference. ”

"Frankly speaking, if I were replaced, I would be able to complete the IPO of Xinghai in three years, and then ring the bell on NASDAQ. ”

Hearing this, Carly exhaled softly.

After being silent for a long time, she suddenly blinked and said with a smile: "Then I'll watch it at the exhibition?"

*

Seeing this capable woman leave in a hurry, even Xi Xiaoding guessed that she was tempted. Although in the current Silicon Valley, it is not difficult to tinker with a NASDAQ-listed company. But being able to make one is at least a reflection of ability. What's more, everyone knows that Xinghai has strong cash flow support here because it is backed by a far core - unless EDA can't hold it.

In addition, now Xinghai has launched several innovative products in one fell swoop, as long as it can open the market, it will be a proper and stable high-tech company.

"Senior brother, you had a good idea yesterday. ”

Su Yuanshan took a sip of coffee and said with a smile: "I have been thinking about doing full commercial licensing before, but now it seems that mobilizing the power of open source and providing free IP is indeed a good direction." And Yuanxin can also concentrate on developing more and more perfect IP for charging - after all, this is a major direction of making money in the future, and we don't need to block ourselves. ”

"So I suggest that we can also build a code hosting platform, as well as an IP trading platform - when the Internet is a little more developed, we can apply for financial products, and then as long as we open the platform, we can connect to the IP library of chip design and PCB design, just like the supermarket to choose ready-made. ”

Su Yuanshan smiled as he spoke: "Those turtles, they stupidly think that we are only leading in technology. ”

Xi Xiaoding nodded with a smile, and suddenly thought of what Su Yuanshan said to Carly just now, and he asked softly, "You plan to go public in three years?"

"Two years to be exact, you can't play without listing in Silicon Valley, but some patents will be transferred before. Su Yuanshan squinted, glanced around, and said softly: "The offshore companies Xinghai and Yuanxin will not be listed, and they should take employee shares." I haven't figured out exactly how to distribute it - how many shares do you want?"

Xi Xiaoding smiled: "Whatever." ”

Su Yuanshan glanced at him: "I believe you are a ghost!" But senior brother, you should know that you and I will not worry about eating for the rest of our lives and even future generations. ”

Xi Xiaoding thought about it and nodded with a smile.

"So the only wish is whether you do it well or not - senior brother, if you want to be unhappy, you must tell me!"

Xi Xiaoding couldn't cry or laugh: "Get out, how can I say I'm unhappy?"

"Hey......

Two years later, in '94, he asked for a lot of money.

On April 10, Xinghai sent a "huge" team to Las Vegas. In comparison, the Yuanxin headquarters is much shabby, except for Su Yuanshan, who arrived first, only Wang Rui came with Xiao Shouping and two other technicians.

After the two sides met, they first had a small party in the hotel, and after getting to know each other, they rushed to the convention and exhibition center to set up the venue.

Compared with last year's computer dealer conference, the scale of this time is much smaller, and the giants are basically from Ni country, such as Sony, Toshiba, Hitachi and other TV manufacturers - after all, the radio and television exhibition.

But in view of Xinghai's Silicon Valley label, Xi Xiaoding still grabbed the second conspicuous position in the convention and exhibition center as early as a month ago.

On the 11th, everyone went to the convention and exhibition center early in the morning.

While waiting for the door to open, Yuanxin was like a banner of domestic businessmen, quickly attracting delegations from the mainland to gather around.
