Chapter 12 The Parties' Struggle

Ruan Qinghe's face is naturally to be given.

However, Lu Yan said that he had no time to return to Bincheng for the time being, citing his busy work.

The latter immediately said that the city could send someone to the capital to interview him.

Local authorities are sometimes very proactive in securing important projects.

For example, the world's top 500 companies say that they want to settle in a certain region of China, and many local cities will actively strive for it.

Because this is not only related to political performance and GDP, but also involves people's livelihood and employment!

In fact, not only Bincheng, but also Jinling, which is the provincial capital of "Su Daqiang", heard that Lu Yan intended to set up an EDA software company.

There were also calls from officials who were familiar with Lu Yan in the past, hoping that Lu Yan would settle the company in Jinling.

It has been repeatedly said that land, taxes, subsidies, everything is easy to say, as long as you settle the enterprise in the high-tech development zone.

If someone else wants to enter the field of EDA software, the leaders of Jinling City may not take it seriously.

But Lu Yan is different, Meituan group buying, the world's first group buying website in this time and space. Shenzhou mobile phone, now in the field of smart phones, has become a star enterprise in Jinling City.

But these two, in fact, in the eyes of the city leaders, are average, because they are not high-tech industries.

In fact, even if in another time and space, the domestic Internet industry has exploded to the point of global leadership, but it is also a service majority.

In the high-tech field, there is still a long way to go in China, otherwise it will not be repeatedly stuck.

The success of the chip design, the DPCA 920, can only be regarded as a small step, but it is an inspiring step.

If Lu Yan can make further achievements in the field of EDA software, it will make the domestic chip industry take another solid step!

If there are chip manufacturing factories in the future, the semiconductor industry in Jinling City will usher in great development!

The leaders of the city attached great importance to it and sent a team to the capital as quickly as possible to talk to Lu Yan.

In Sanjiang City, I have not been worried about the possibility of such a good project being cut off.

When Lu Yan returned to Beijing, he sent someone from the investment promotion office to accompany him all the way, and the task lasted until the day the project landed.

During this period, I also saw Lu Yan's amazing ability to "dig the foot of the wall".

To set up a company, the key is nothing more than money and manpower.

The funds are easy to say, Lu Yan himself has a lot of money on hand.

If you have just received the endorsement fees that have not been disposed of, as well as the shares of Kweichow Moutai, etc., you can let Shenzhou Electronics contribute some money.

Slightly troublesome is manpower, another time and space in 2019, an industry expert estimated.

There are about 1,500 people doing EDA R&D in China, of which about 1,200 people work in the Chinese R&D center of international EDA companies, and only about 300 people actually do R&D for local EDA.

This is still the total number of personnel from many EDA companies in China, as well as universities and research institutes.

The world's largest EDA company has about 7,000 R&D personnel, of which more than 5,000 make EDA tools.

The main reason behind the lack of talent is insufficient investment.

Empyrean, a well-known company in the industry, has been established for nearly ten years, with a total investment of less than 500 million yuan, while "the world's largest EDA company invests 500 million a month and 1.1 billion US dollars a year."

Lu Yan's side naturally can't be compared with foreign giants.

However, his initial investment in the company is 300 million yuan, and he guarantees that the annual advertising endorsement income and other expenses will be invested in his EDA R&D company.

In this way, in terms of capital investment. This high-tech company, which has not yet been officially born, has suddenly come to the forefront of the domestic industry in terms of R&D funds.

Aside from the advantages of capital, Lu Yan has more than other companies, as well as the customer advantage of Kunlun chips.

As for the shortcomings, it is still difficult to solve them for a while.

For example, the problem of insufficient tools and the combination of advanced technology is relatively weak.

The three EDA companies have a natural advantage in working with fabs at the new process development stage and have a good understanding of the process, which in turn can better improve the tools to support advanced processes.

However, domestic EDA manufacturers can only get part of the data after the process is developed.

In addition, an important support for the integration of EDA tools and processes is the Process Design Kit (PDK). As a set of basic support environment for tool-based process development, PDK includes device models, structures, design rule checks, and libraries, etc., which are very complex to develop and require large investment.

In general, the new company that Lu Yan is about to establish has the advantage of capital and customers. As for the difficulties that other EDA companies in China need to face, this new company is also a lot.

But after Lu Yan offered a high salary, in a short period of time, he dug nearly 100 EDA talents in the R&D center of an international EDA company in China.

This made the three international EDA companies very dissatisfied.

Synopsys in the United States, Cadence in the United States, and MentorGraphics, a subsidiary of Siemens, three EDA giants, jointly sent a letter to Kunlun Chip Company, and in view of Lu Yan's behavior, these three will consider canceling their cooperation with Kunlun Chip Company in the next year.

Such a move really caught Kunlun Chip and Shenzhou Technology off guard.

Rebus hurriedly called, hoping that Lu Yan would keep a low profile. In addition, the representatives of the three companies in China should be invited out for a good chat.

After all, the Kunlun chip at the moment relies heavily on the EDA software provided by those three companies.

Moreover, even if the supply is continuous, the price increase will not be bearable!

The EDA tools sold by EDA companies to downstream customers are actually selling licenses, just like the registration code used when using the windows operating system or office software and other application software, but this kind of registration code is basically sky-high.

For example, at the end of 2014, Huawei spent $30 million at a time in order to obtain the certificate of Kaiden Electronic Technology.

The strength is almost there, that's really useless.

Sometimes, people still have all kinds of postures that they don't want to sell, that is, they bully yourself and there is no substitute.

Lu Yan is able to redeem the EDA software technical code in his self-improvement system, Tianzhu module.

But it will take time to "develop" this thing from what he knows in his head through the scientific research team.

If someone gets stuck during this period, it will delay the development of Kunlun chips.

immediately said: "That, you watch and talk to them, I won't come forward, so as not to make the scene uncontrollable." Just one principle, to appease them and delay time!"

Rebus was surprised, "You don't really think you'll be able to come up with a replacement in a while!"

Lu Yan smiled: "That's not for sure, okay, they're looking for me again, so let's not talk about it first!"

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yan went to meet the leaders of Bincheng and Sanjiang City.

Having said this, it alarmed the province, and the latter also preferred Lu Yan to set up the company in Bincheng.
