At this time, many products of Wujiang Group have been developed, but they are in mass production reserves, such as Hanxian BB machine, after further improvement, its stability, body size, screen display, power consumption and other aspects have been greatly improved, and most languages in the world have been supported.

The ability to set the time and alarm has also been added.

This is only a one-way Hanxian BB machine, in fact, the two-way Hanxian BB machine has also been developed, that is, the Hanxian BB machine and the Hanxian BB machine can send text messages directly.

But obviously, there is no need to release the two-way Hanxian BB machine now, sell the one-way Hanxian BB machine first, make a wave of it, and wait for other companies to develop similar Hanxian BB machines, and then take out the two-way Hanxian BB machine, isn't it fragrant?

At this time, Zhao Ye took a closer look at the progress of the major research projects of the group company.

Program-controlled switches have also been developed, but the performance is a little worse than that of foreign countries, and it can be sold, but it will damage the reputation of Wujiang Group.

Produced without borders, it must be a high-quality product.

How to improve the technology of program-controlled switches to the world-class level.

In addition, the program-controlled switch is bundled with the two-way Hanxian BB machine, which is conducive to the promotion of the program-controlled switch.

Therefore, there is no rush to launch a program-controlled switch.

PHS technology, mobile phone technology, and CDMA communication technology are still under development. Among them, PHS technology is the least difficult, so it is currently the fastest progress, and it is expected to succeed this year.

However, there is a lot of competition between PHS and BB machines.

Zhao Ye thought about it for a while, the promotion time of PHS will be postponed, but the relevant patents have already been applied.

……

Loongson Design Company.

The EDA software that has been developed for many years has been successfully developed at this time, and this chip design software was developed by Zhao Ye himself at the beginning, and later further improved by the employees of Loongson Design Company.

As of today, it's finally done.

Three years of sharpening a sword, once a test of the edge!!

This chip design software, named "Loongson EDA-1.0", can be called the strongest eda software on the market.

Zhao Ye is fed up with other eda software, the design of this "Loongson EDA-1.0" uses a large number of advanced design concepts, algorithms and mathematical models in the previous life, and the functions are extremely powerful and prepared.

As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools!

Using "Loongson EDA-1.0", the work efficiency has been increased by three or four times!

At the moment when all the members of Loongson Design Company successfully developed "Loongson EDA-1.0", all the staff were ecstatic, and many people were even excited to cry!

EDA software is the "mother of chips" and the most important weapon of the country!

When the news came out of the leadership, it naturally caused a great sensation.

"Boss, the Shanghai secretary said that he wanted to visit Loongson Design Company, and especially mentioned that he wanted to meet the 'Loongson EDA-1.0' in person!" Fu Feipeng, president of Loongson Design Company, said excitedly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Ye's secretary Liu Yinyin ran over and said excitedly: "Boss, the leaders of Peking sent a congratulatory telegram to congratulate Loongson Design Company on developing 'Loongson EDA-1.0' and expressed cordial greetings!" ”

When Zhao Ye heard this, he couldn't help but be a little excited.

"Well, okay, I got it!"

Then, he looked at Fu Feipeng and said, "The leader is coming, and you must do a good job of receiving it." ”

"Yes, boss."

"Okay, now let's talk about promoting the 'Loongson EDA-1.0' software to the outside world." Zhao Ye said, "With the powerful function of 'Loongson EDA-1.0', I believe that other EDA software will be quickly swept away, and then monopolize most of the market share!" ”

Zhao Ye also has more advanced EDA software design content in his hands, and he is not afraid of catching up at all.

However, with such an advanced "Loongson EDA1.0", Zhao Ye is actually a little unwilling to sell it.

Sell castrated versions?

Foreign companies are doing this!

The corners of Zhao Ye's mouth rose, and he said to Fu Feipeng: "There is no need for such an advanced EDA on the market, I think that as long as the castrated version is 30% to 50% stronger than other brands of EDA software, it is enough." 'Loongson EDA-1.0' is just for our company's own use. ”

When Fu Feipeng heard this, he instantly understood what Zhao Ye meant, and couldn't help but praise him heartily: "Boss, you are still thoughtful!" In this way, not only will the EDA software developed by our company be able to sell well, but it will also be in a leading position in the field of chip design! ”

Zhao Ye smiled when he heard this, the advantage of opening up is definitely unimaginable to others......

If I hadn't started my first business in my previous life, or developed EDA software, I wouldn't have been so familiar with EDA software.

It can be said unceremoniously that in the field of chip design, he is almost the strongest.

……

At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Shanghai leaders gathered at Loongson Design Company.

"Congratulations, Boss Zhao, you have even developed EDA, I heard that it is more advanced than foreign ones, which is really amazing!"

"Haha, thank you leader. If it weren't for the strong support of the leaders, our enterprises would not have developed so smoothly. By the way, let me introduce you to Fu Feipeng, the president and chief technology officer of Loongson Design Company. He also contributed to the smooth development of EDA. Zhao Ye pointed to Fu Feipeng, who was standing beside him.

"Hello leaders, I'm Fu Feipeng!" Fu Feipeng hurriedly bowed to the leaders and introduced himself.

"Hello Mr. Fu!!" All the officials stepped forward one after another and shook hands with Fu Feipeng cordially.

"Leaders, let's enter the company, and let Mr. Fu introduce the situation of Loongson Design Company to you while visiting!" Zhao Ye said.

"Good!" The leaders nodded in agreement.

Loongson Design has 1,108 employees, most of whom are chip design engineers.

Main development projects:

Processors: Kirin 1, Kirin 2, Kirin 3 (in development)

Storage: EPROM memory chips, NAND flash memory (under development), DRAM memory (under development).

Special function chips: game picture enhancement chip MMC, digital video processing chip (under development), CCD sensor (under development), CMOS sensor chip (under development), ......

Chip design software: Loongson EDA-1.0.

With Fu Feipeng's introduction, everyone couldn't help but feel that Loongson Design Company was more powerful than foreign chip design companies.

"China's TV production is huge, but every year it needs to import digital video processing chips from abroad, if your company can develop this digital video processing chip, you can save a lot of foreign exchange." An official related to the electronics industry couldn't help but say when he heard that Loongson Design Company was developing digital video processing chips.

Fu Feipeng replied: "Rest assured, this chip is not difficult, and now that we have Loongson EDA-1.0 software, we will be able to speed up the development progress and strive to develop it this year!" ”

"yes, that's great!" The leader said happily.

After a while, Fu Feipeng showed everyone the "Loongson EDA-1.0" software, but the leaders couldn't understand it, but when they saw countless huge and complex circuit diagrams shrunk on a drawing interface, they only felt very powerful.

At about 4:30 p.m., the leaders left.

Zhao Ye looked at his watch, and before he got off work, he asked Fu Feipeng to notify everyone of the meeting.

After a while, the conference room was full.

"The successful development of Loongson EDA-1.0 is good, but we must realize that it still leaves much to be desired. Next, we will further improve Loongson EDA-1.0 and develop version 2.0. At the same time, we will also sell the castrated version of Loongson EDA-1.0......"

Immediately, Zhao Ye introduced to everyone why the castrated version of Loongson EDA-1 was developed, and its main purpose was to maintain the leading edge of Loongson Design Company in the field of chip design.

Making money is important, but Loongson is not only an EDA design company, but also a chip design company.

As soon as Zhao Ye finished saying what he meant, one of the people present raised his hand and said, "Boss, since it's a castrated version, why don't you change your name?" ”

"Well, you have a point!" Zhao Ye thought about it and couldn't help nodding in response.

Then he asked, "Then what do you say, what should be the name of the castrated EDA?" ”

"How about calling Jiaolong EDA? Jiaolong is a mythical beast in ancient mythology, a water beast with dragon blood, and after the legend of the catastrophe, it is a real dragon. The man said excitedly, obviously not missing the ancient Chinese myths.

When Zhao Ye heard this, he nodded with a smile: "Jiaolong is good, okay, it's called Jiaolong EDA, about the price of this software......"

Zhao Ye thought for a moment, referred to the price of foreign EDA, and said, "$5 million a set!" The world's most advanced EDA, it's worth the price! ”

A set of advanced EDA software can save a lot of cost and time for chip design and development, and it is definitely worth the money.

Of course, there are also cheap EDAs that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a set. Or according to the company's needs, the price will be relatively much cheaper, tens of thousands of dollars or hundreds of thousands of dollars.

EDA software, anyway, is very expensive.

If you are making a low-end product, it doesn't matter if you don't buy such advanced EDA software.

If you want to make high-end chip products, then you must buy the best EDA, such as Intel Corporation, AMD chips, ARM and other companies, they will inevitably grit their teeth and buy Jiaolong EDA.

If you don't buy, it means you'll be outtaken by your competitors.

Cutting the leeks of these enterprises, Zhao Ye was of course ruthless.

It also takes a little time to develop the castrated version of EDA, so it will take a while before Jiaolong EDA is launched.

……

Loongson EDA-1.0 is already being used internally in Loongson Design Company, and the chip design efficiency has been greatly improved.

The research teams of each project are now full of self-confidence, and with the best chip development tools, they can get twice the result with half the effort.

Fujio Masaoka was very excited, he didn't expect Loongson Design Company to be so powerful and develop such a powerful Loongson EDA-1.0 software.

Now, the development of NAND flash memory has reached a critical juncture, and the first commercial NAND chip will soon be available.

Over the next period of time, the development team led by Fujio Masaoka worked overtime and finally achieved significant results on the afternoon of January 26.

Zhao Ye was still in the company to review the documents, and then he received a call from Fujio Masaoka, only to hear the other party say excitedly on the phone: "Boss, we succeeded!" Our team has developed the first commercially available NAND flash memory with a storage capacity of up to 20MB!! ”

When Zhao Ye heard this, a touch of joy appeared on his face.

What Fujio Masaoka didn't know was that this data was even more powerful than Toshiba's NAND flash memory released in 1991, when it was only 4MB.

The gap between not paying attention to it and paying attention to it is really very big.

However, in Zhao Ye's view, the storage capacity of NAND is still too low, and the cost is also very high.

In 1991, SanDisk developed the world's first 2.5-inch flash SSD for IBM, with a 20MB capacity of only $1,000.

It can be estimated that the capacity of NAND at that time was only 4MB, and 20MB required 5 NAND chips.

In other words, a 4MB NAND flash memory cost almost $200 at the time.

The flash memory that Fujio Masaoka is developing now has 20MB, but the price is not cheap.

If NAND is used on game cartridges, it is definitely too expensive for players to afford.

When developing hard disks, the capacity is too small to compare with today's mechanical hard disks.

However, NAND can be used to store computer software.

The storage device currently used to store computer software on the market is a floppy disk, but a 3.5-inch floppy disk is only 1.4MB.

NAND flash memory can also be used as a storage device for a camera.

The application is quite extensive, but the price is too expensive.

Toshiba didn't pay attention to NAND flash memory in the eighties and nineties, and there is some reason.

Zhao Ye felt that he had to open up for NAND, otherwise NAND would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey if NAND wanted to be really applied on a large scale.

"Congratulations, Fujio Masaoka, I'm going to Loongson Design right now!" After Zhao Ye finished speaking, he was ready to leave.
