California, Silicon Valley.

While the Chinese were happily celebrating the Spring Festival, a storm swept through Silicon Valley like a hurricane, and unfortunately, Mr. Roy and his Cadence, the world's largest EDA tool company, were at the center of the storm.

In this world, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

Xingchen Technology's announcement of withdrawing from the North American market has harmed the interests of too many North American companies, so they are extremely angry and have pointed the finger at Cadence.

Companies that use EDA tools often use CFD and CAD tools as well, and the company's customers are all gone, and they call Mr. Roy and threaten to retire Cadence products.

Mr. Roy finally realized the taste of wanting to cry without tears, Luo Jia moved quickly and resolutely to attack, beyond everyone's expectations, he was not even ready to go to the Congress to protest, but directly countered the opponent's army.

Luo Jia's statement stated that due to Cadence and Synopsys' national security accusations in Congress, the company has decided to withdraw from the North American market out of an abundance of caution, but has postponed the withdrawal by 30 days in consideration of the interests of our customers.

What righteous words, it's not that we want to quit, but that our competitors force us to quit.

And we're a responsible company, so we've set aside 30 days for you to switch to other design tools.

Anyway, in everyone's eyes, Xingchen Technology is very innocent, the cost of industrial software is so high, free for the world to use, is in line with the purpose of benefiting all mankind, but there are villains as demons, forcing us to be cornered, so we can only give up serving everyone.

Of course, if anyone believes Luo Jia's nonsense, it must be a brain show, business is more cruel than war, free is more expensive than charge, this is the eternal truth.

But human nature is greedy, businessmen are profit-seeking, everyone loves to eat this set, and whoever stops them from using the free star industry, they will bite whom.

"I knew now, why bother in the beginning!" Mr. Roy held his head in his hands and groaned in pain in his office.

He left the office in a daze to find the president, Raj, who was dancing with a group of Indian engineers, who did not see any concern about the company's current predicament.

But as soon as he turned around, when Raj saw the boss, his face immediately changed.

A group of people ran over and slapped the chairman's ass, and at this juncture, the Indian engineers still swore that they would have the ability to bring down the group of Chinese people who didn't know how to lift.

Mr. Roy held his forehead and thought to himself, you shouldn't be engineers, you should go to Bollywood to make movies!

Mr. Roy began to miss the obscure Chinese employees, who were always working with their heads down, who did not like to be sycophants or engage in office politics, and who worked hard day in and day out.

It's a pity that now, it's too late to say anything, and the entire Huaxia team of Cadence has collectively jumped to Xingchen Technology and become their most terrible opponent.

......

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the Spring Festival holiday of Xingchen Technology ended.

As the straight men of steel returned to work from their hometowns, a piece of good news also came from North America, and in the face of surging public opinion, the Republican Party announced that it had abandoned the submission of a restrictive order against Xingchen Industrial Software.

This result did not surprise Luo Jia at all, there is never a free lunch in the world, and the reason why Xingchen Technology is willing to provide industrial software for free is to get this trump card of the global game and pave the way for a longer-term plan in the future.

At the first regular meeting after the holiday, the company's executives gathered together again, and the Spring Festival and the good news from North America can be described as a double happiness, and everyone seems very happy.

"Of course, we want to stay in the North American market." Luo Jia said with a smile, "After all, the more people use industrial software, the more people can't do without it, the most beneficial it is for us." ”

"It's like Microsoft's operating system, when Microsoft knew that piracy was rampant in China, but they were still willing to stay in this market, just to achieve greater profits in the future, as well as global dominance."

"With Microsoft's technical prowess, don't they have the ability to solve the piracy problem completely?"

"No, they just don't want to fix it."

"Microsoft is a great company that understands the trade-offs, and it is often difficult for people who only look at immediate interests to achieve real success."

Everyone nodded, Luo Jia was right, the unprofitable Xingchen Industry is actually one of the most successful products since the company's establishment, relying on the power of Xingchen Industry, Luo Jia tied the whole world to his chariot and mastered a sharp sword of Damoris.

Li Moran said with a smile, "Then I will make an announcement after I go back, because North America has given up blocking us, Xingchen Industry will continue to open." ”

Luo Jia shrugged, "Don't be in such a hurry, just wait a few more days, after all, in the matter of industrial software, it is they who beg us, not us who beg them." ”

"In addition, the software department still has to maintain the current development schedule, industrial software is a huge category, and it is very critical to the company's next plan, and only after we have completed our own EDA software can we have the possibility of starting with semiconductors."

When it comes to semiconductors, everyone becomes very excited, after all, it is the top of the pyramid in the field of technology, and EDA tools are important software to complete semiconductor design.

If you want to engage in semiconductors, you must first design semiconductors, and if you want to design semiconductors, you must first have EDA, whether it is industry or science and technology, it is an interlocking existence.

Of course, this project will be relatively long, because EDA tools are the most difficult of all industrial software, and the EDA project department led by Wei Jianing has just begun.

"Anything else?" Luo Jia asked as he looked around the conference room.

Hong Tao frowned, "Mr. Luo, Huawei and Xiaomi are fighting again, they are all our partners, do you want to mediate?" ”

Luo Jia shook her head with a smile and said, "It's just a partner, not a subsidiary, so it's not appropriate for us to intervene." ”

"Besides, back then, everyone joined forces to fight Samsung and Apple, and now Samsung and Apple have been disabled, and the Big Four have begun to fight each other again, which is also a normal thing, business, cruel competition has always been the essence of business."

"I see, if they are willing to fight, let them fight, and none of us will help."

"And we really don't have that energy, the work of the hardware department and the software department is already full, and we are about to face the problem of enrollment at Xingchen University, how can we have the energy to care about them."

"Please remember that business competition will never stop, and we Xingchen Technology must put R&D in the first place at any time, and other problems are secondary problems, as long as we can get R&D up, everything will be solved."

......

The first regular meeting after the Spring Festival set the tone for the company's next development, that is, to overcome all difficulties and make every effort to develop it.

Luo Jia, as the head of the tough guy group, will inevitably go to various departments after the holiday, ask for warmth, send everyone a red envelope and so on.

In general, except for the practice of gaining three pounds during the Spring Festival, I don't see any change in everyone, and after returning to their respective posts, they continue their previous work.

Enterprises and people, will slowly mature, compared to the early days of entrepreneurship, everyone is like playing chicken blood like hard work, today's Xingchen Technology has become more and more calm.

I have seen all the winds and waves, even if I was almost banned by North America a few years ago, everyone didn't take it too seriously, thinking that the difficulties were only temporary, and as long as they worked hard, they could always be overcome.

Two days later, BYD's boss Wang personally delivered the commercial vehicle ordered by Xingchen Technology to the company, causing quite a stir.

Luo Jia also ran to see it for the first time, only to see that there were one hundred and twenty customized business vehicles in the parking lot, all of which were white, with a huge rotating galaxy logo on the carriage, and four big characters printed on them, Xingchen University!

When the rear compartment is opened, there is a dense collection of electronic equipment, mainly the main engine that processes data, and a medium-sized receiver responsible for sending and receiving signals, etc.

There are four seats in the rear compartment, and the technical specialist in charge of enrollment can monitor the entire venue after sitting on it, which is equivalent to a mobile information processing center.

Like this mobile data processing vehicle, Luo Jia ordered a total of 1,000 vehicles, these are just some of them, according to his assumption, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, after the opening of primary and secondary schools across the country, the temporary enrollment team of Xingchen University will go to all parts of the country.

Such a large-scale action cannot be done by Xingchen Technology alone, and it also needs the cooperation of the education department.

In this regard, Luo Jia has received the full support of the top, and schools across the country are also very happy, after all, which school can send students to Xingchen University is also quite honorable.

As for the parents of the students, they are extremely enthusiastic.

In this world, how can there be parents who don't want their children to get ahead, Xingchen University has such a high level and such a good treatment, which is unprecedented, parents have long been eagerly looking forward to this day coming soon, if anyone's child can enter Xingchen University, it is really a high incense.

Luo Jia looked at several cars in a row and smiled with satisfaction.

As his important partner, Boss Wang is very concerned about the special vehicles of Xingchen Technology, which can be seen from the fact that he personally delivered the car to the door.

"In order to catch up with this batch of cars, we didn't have a holiday during the Spring Festival." Boss Wang said, "But fortunately, your orders have been completed, and these vehicles to be used in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai will be directly sent to your company, and those to be used in remote provinces are already on the way." ”

Luo Jia nodded again and again, these 120 cars are used near Shanghai, and remote areas such as the northeast and southwest are directly transported to the local area first, and after the company's admissions officer arrives, he picks up the car locally, which can avoid the fatigue of long-distance driving.

Luo Jia thanked Boss Wang, invited him to sit in the office for a while, and chatted about the current progress in the field of electric vehicles and batteries, and then he got up to leave.

Standing in the center of the company's parking lot, looking at those brand-new enrollment vehicles, everyone in Luo Jia and Xingchen Technology was full of emotion.

It's not easy to get to this point, now everything is ready, just wait for the school to open, and the national enrollment work of Xingchen University will be launched rapidly.
