Chapter 873: The first battle of the academician, take Dassault first
When you don't have a certain technology or can't produce a certain product, you need to use a very high price to import.
Once your technology has made a breakthrough, the corresponding international giants will quickly adjust the price, trying to nip you in the bud.
Dassault is clearly one such company.
Seeing that it is indeed about to lose the Chinese market, the decision of Dassault headquarters has also become very fast.
The day after Leo's report, the headquarters gave a specific reply, allowing Dassault Huaxia to launch a limited-time free service for new users, and old users can enjoy a discount at an ultra-low price in the next year.
In this way, it basically means that Dassault Huaxia will not be able to make money in the coming year.
The price charged is basically to maintain the company's daily operations.
By squeezing the living space of domestic industrial software at a low price, people will return to normal prices after you are killed, or even higher prices.
If some confidential information in the aerospace industry is leaked because of the use of CATIA, who is it?
Once there is such suspicion, many things are much easier to move forward.
"At the same time, the alliance will be built into a promotion and publicity center for domestic industrial software and industry application solutions."
"The development of industrial software should take into account the simultaneous development of high, medium and low-end."
If you lose, it's even more doomed.
He obviously couldn't accept it.
When the time comes, once the company starts to lay off employees, he will take N+1, or even 2N compensation, and immediately start working seamlessly at the next owner.
As a leading enterprise in the industry, Dassault naturally received relevant information at the first time.
Once Yangcheng Zhongwang is suppressed by Dassault, then other similar industrial software companies are likely to follow suit in the future, which will have a huge impact on the development of Huaxia industrial software.
"As for the SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD system, we at CAXA can challenge and launch alternative products on the basis of the existing CAD software, so that SOLIDWORKS can roll out of the Chinese market."
"Through the use of this period of time, everyone has basically made a certain judgment on the quality of NSCAD."
Everyone also reciprocated the favor and began to act in the direction of Du Yulin, the director.
As for Du Yulin's proposal as an academician, the relevant departments naturally attach great importance to it.
"SABAQUS finite element analysis software, our group has some similar needs for Qixing Technology and Nanshan Automobile Group, and Yangcheng Zhongwang has also been specially developed."
Du Yulin had just been elected as an academician of the Academy of Engineering, and he was given a dismissal.
Now Du Yulin, who is also the head of the chairman unit of the alliance, has become an academician of the Academy of Engineering, and the directors immediately realized that pushing Du Yulin up is very beneficial to the development of the alliance and to every member unit in it.
Now suddenly we have to face the situation that the company has no business and employees are being laid off.
It's just that in previous years, this league did not make too good results.
"Are we just going to let the situation worse?"
"It provides a collaborative environment that enables businesses and individuals to innovate in new ways and use products and services that are experienced virtually."
If there is no very necessary reason, you must not use the software on servers where the data is stored outside of Huaxia.
Now I have learned a lot of things, and even issued a relevant regulation to make data security requirements.
"At present, they have not made preparations in this regard, just to respond to the requirements of this policy, it is estimated that there will be no way to continue to sell products within half a year."
And these actions, naturally, cannot hide the personnel of industrial software manufacturers such as Dassault and UG.
"Mr. Cao, Dassault's disgusting approach, I think it must be severely cracked down, otherwise there will be no chance for domestic industrial software companies to develop in the future."
After all, we are used to using CATIA, even if the operation interface and technique of NSCAD are very similar to CATIA, everyone is not willing to change.
"Now Academician Du Yulin has become the director of the Huaxia Industrial Software Industry Development Alliance, and a group of local industrial software companies have begun to share the cake, and everyone will jointly break through various industrial software."
Now the thief shouts to catch the thief, and it is easy to end it when the time comes.
People talk to you directly from a data security perspective.
Du Yulin naturally knew very well what Dassault Huaxia was planning.
"People in relevant departments in Huaxia are often more cautious in doing things, and since they have chosen to do so, they are not afraid of us suing."
Then I'll learn from you.
"Coupled with some products that have been developed by Yangcheng Zhongwang before, there will really be nothing for us in the Huaxia industrial software market in the future."
"This practice is obviously our WTO rules, and we must go to the relevant departments in China to protest."
I didn't expect that the action of Yangcheng Zhongwang was so big, and he actually directly said that the relevant departments issued such an exclusive document.
In this case, they must require the supplier to be able to read the drawings and data in NSCAD format directly.
No one can say anything about this, right?
After all, to mix in a market, compliance with local regulations is the most basic requirement.
The situation is similar with other vendors.
A CATIA can put Dassault Huaxia into a business crisis, if all 5 software are targeted, then Dassault Huaxia really has no meaning.
Having an academician to develop this alliance can obviously achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"Like this kind of CAD design software, companies use it to design their own products, and many of them still involve confidential information."
Aren't these companies the most law-conscious?
"If commercial means don't work, then use administrative means."
"I'll contact several academicians in related areas later, and we will jointly propose to the relevant departments and issue relevant policy documents as soon as possible."
However, for the software, after it has been developed, in fact, Dassault Huaxia has no other development work to do except for some daily maintenance and after-sales work.
"Until now, 3D EXPERIENCE is the only platform that can both run the operational system of the business and enable the business model of business transformation."
"Yangcheng Zhongwang and CAXA and other companies are carrying out targeted product development."
In time, Dassault will really have little room to survive in China.
The big deal is that when it comes to confidential drawing data, the relevant computers are not connected to the outside Internet.
……
Don't you like to talk about security issues a lot?
Yangcheng Zhongwang is a Nanshan enterprise, where is it so easy to provoke.
"All modern equipment must use industrial software, which is the core technology for enterprises to use information."
This kind of near-dumping method is definitely a very lethal trick in dealing with emerging software companies.
Leo took a big sip of beer in frustration, and then complained to Ximen Fei.
After a few days of simple research, a notice was issued to the relevant state-owned enterprises, requiring them to do a good job in data security protection.
He is not vexatious, and it is very reasonable to put forward some important content for Huaxia's data security.
The industrial field is widely distributed, and the diversity and complexity of the industry determine the professionalism of industrial software.
Anyway, my statement is not unreasonable.
"At present, the difficulties in the development of Huaxia industrial software are mainly concentrated in the high-end field, and the development of high-end industrial software should become the focus of the alliance's work in the future."
As an independent software company that did not have a mountain to rely on, the biggest problem in the process of developing industrial software was that it could not find enough experienced process engineers who were familiar with production.
There is no big cost, but the income is very good, and the annual rate of return is very high.
"If we need technical cooperation in Yangcheng Zhongwang, we can also discuss it."
This forced Bosch to use NSCAD in Huaxia as well.
The gun shot the first bird, and Dassault, the first bird, was obviously going to be taken out by Du Yulin for the knife.
There's just no way around it.
Who knows what backdoor you've left behind behind the scenes.
As the first important meeting after he joined the Industrial Software Development Industry Alliance, Du Yulin's first fire was to take Dassault down.
Now it can be said that this alliance has the support of the Nanshan system in addition to the support of relevant departments.
If this document is implemented, all SOEs will no longer consider using CATIA.
Seeing that Dassault Huaxia was going to wrestle with Yangcheng Zhongwang, he was very anxious.
In the past, because I didn't have a choice, even if I was worried and had doubts, I could only endure it.
The situation is different now.
For example, if Bosch wants to supply parts to Geely and Chery automobiles, Geely and Chery are already using NSCAD.
After Du Yulin became the new director, he immediately launched an all-round competition layout for Dassault's industrial software products within the alliance.
"No matter how much we do it, at most we can come up with a free solution."
Shangguan Jin's mind was in a daze, thinking about all kinds of problems, and his mood was up and down.
The software development work itself is also done by the headquarters, which is nothing more than not looking for the Chinese market to amortize the cost now.
He actually knows this situation.
Then I'm going to suppress you from this aspect.
Everyone supported Du Yulin to become the director of the alliance, naturally because he took a fancy to his status as an academician and the advantages of relying on Nanshan enterprises.
"The companies in the Nanshan system provide support related to the production process, and the various software companies are responsible for the development."
"The second is to let the alliance actively serve as a platform for industrial policy, standard research and industrial software promotion measures in the field of industrial software, so that the development of industrial software in China will develop in the direction that our alliance wants......"
Is the software free for everyone to use?
How long is it free?
If CATIA is free for new users, you are giving NSCAD to consumers for free, and many people are not willing to use it.
At least there is not enough confidence in everyone, so it is necessary to join forces.
"I suggest that we can work together to develop alternative platforms that can work better."
No matter how Dassault tries to offer free CATIA for new users, it doesn't work.
"As for the situation in half a year, if the situation is still not in our favor, then use other means to kill them."
"The software in the other three directions also has application needs in many occasions, and you can choose the direction you are good at to make breakthroughs."
Shangguan Jin originally thought that after the headquarters agreed to the new preferential plan of the Huaxia branch, his life should become better.
This is obviously a situation that Du Yulin would like to see.
However, Dassault is not the only software called CATIA, and it seems that he does not need to be so anxious in a short period of time?
But CATIA accounts for 80% of Dassault's revenue, and if CATIA is abolished, it seems that the company has no hope?
"The next step is to turn these files into a data security regulation."
"However, it should be no problem to ask Dassault to store all Huaxia users' data in Huaxia's servers, right?"
The current Dassault Huaxia is obviously not in a good situation.
Just imagine, if Yangcheng Zhongwang is just an ordinary software company, without the big tree of the Nanshan system to rely on, then how will they deal with Dassault Huaxia's big move?
Even if there are some selfish motives in this process, there is no way to blame it.
SOLIDWORKS is obviously the product that he thinks is more likely to be based on CAXA's situation.
"Mr. Cao, if you want to kill it directly, it is estimated that it will be more difficult to use pure commercial means."
"Therefore, we can communicate with relevant departments and promote the introduction of policies from the perspective of data security."
"In the past, you lost the CATIA market, and in the future, you may even lose the market for SOLIDWORKS, ABAQUS and other software."
This is very fatal for the development of industrial software.
This kind of dumping tactic in order to crack down on competitors also violates the relevant WTO regulations.
Du Yulin's words made Li Yi breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Mr. Lei, I found a few familiar manufacturers to understand, and the relevant departments of Huaxia have issued notices to them, requiring them not to use software provided by software manufacturers whose data is stored outside Huaxia unless necessary."
Therefore, Cao Yang must support Du Yulin to beat Dassault's arrogance down, and it is best to shoot him to death directly.
"There is no problem, I fully support Mr. Li's proposal."
"It's not okay if the department doesn't provoke, their NSCAD is completely developed against CATIA, and almost all of them are our market."
"I also hope that when the time comes, Nanshan Automobile Group will consider giving priority to trying out the alternative products developed by our CAXA."
Strictly speaking, Dassault's method is actually a dumping practice.
"And our actions this time are simply a little more violent, and we will directly scrap Dassault and make an example of the monkey."
That's definitely a bottom-of-the-pot action.
Li Yi, director of the alliance and president of CAXA, put forward his own ideas.
Alliance and openness is a necessary way, "all-in-one" is impossible, only the formation of an industrial chain, each domestic industrial software enterprises can focus, in order to meet the needs of the industry, with strong competitiveness and seek greater development.
Obviously, within this alliance, except for Yangcheng Zhongwang, other companies do not have the ability to develop similar alternative products alone.
That's obviously looking at the sheep city.
"In the process of developing alternative products, if CAXA needs the assistance of Nanshan Automobile Group or Honor Technology Group to carry out some process verification and other work, you can find us to coordinate."
Simon Fei's words were like knives in Leo's chest.
Soon, Du Yulin began to act.
"All the excellent products of the alliance enterprises, I will recommend them to the enterprises of the Nanshan system."
CAXA is second only to Yangcheng Zhongwang in the industry, Li Yi in addition to proposing that everyone cooperate to develop a platform product, naturally he also hopes that he can have a fist product.
Shangguan Jin expressed his worries.
This made Leo's voice much quieter.
For this situation, Yangcheng Zhongwang is naturally very clear.
Yangcheng Zhongwang's NSCAD has proven its effectiveness, and so many companies have begun to use it, so it is simply promoted well.
So is it still necessary for Dassault Huaxia to exist?
If there are only a few foreign-owned companies that use CATIA, they will slowly change as the software used by customers changes.
"Among them, CAD software has been specially proposed as a typical representative."
UG's general agent Ximen Fei and Dassault Huaxia's Leo naturally also know each other.
If it weren't for Dassault Huaxia's big move, he wouldn't be so angry.
This excuse was not first put forward by Huaxia, and the United States has already mentioned this topic in some business cases.
Du Yulin's speech can be said to have greatly strengthened the influence and cohesion of this alliance.
But Leo's words also reminded him that he needed to think about finding his next home?
If that's the case, doesn't it seem unacceptable?
Du Yulin is now an academician, so he is naturally ready to make full use of the influence of the academician.
Even in the next step, it can continue to expand, and even the HONOR operating system of Honor Technology will be slowly promoted.
"CATIA is our main source of income, and if this piece is snatched away, will I be able to keep my position under the ass?"
At one point, he never thought he would be laid off by the company.
"No problem!"
Not only can it hand over huge profits to the headquarters, but the welfare of the company's employees is also very good.
The confidentiality of drawing data is achieved through physical isolation.
"Mr. Lei, I said what are you doing to provoke the enterprises of the Nanshan system."
After Leo said this, Shangguan Jin fell into silence.
"I also hope that the alliance can build an industry self-discipline platform, and build the alliance into a platform for maintaining industry order and strengthening industry self-discipline in the field of industrial software."
"It's already fully capable of replacing CATIA, so we really don't need to be polite."
At that time, it may be possible to earn back all the money earned in the previous years within a year.
Then, the relevant departments are also making preparations for the introduction of policy documents and legal provisions at the same time.
Through technological innovation, resource integration, joint development of key technologies, and reciprocal sharing of intellectual property rights within the alliance.
In the face of Dassault Huaxia's big move, Du Yulin immediately had a countermeasure.
Du Yulin is obviously quite clear about the current situation.
"We are not saying that Dassault is not allowed to sell industrial software in Huaxia, which will make it more difficult for the relevant departments, after all, we have just visited France and other countries in the first half of the year."
In the important areas restricting industrial development, the main force and innovation cluster of technological research will be formed, and a number of foreign intellectual property barriers will be broken through, so as to promote the overall development of Huaxia's industrial software industry.
Leo is naturally able to realize what impact the relevant department's approach will have on Dassault Huaxia.
He knew that what Shangguan Jin said was very reasonable.
"Combined with what happened during this period, it is likely that the relevant departments of China are pushing NSCAD in Yangcheng Zhongwang to squeeze our CATIA out of the market."
"Director Du, Dassault Systèmes has built an advanced 3D product development software application based on the 3D EXPERIENCE platform to achieve an integrated platform for 3D design, analysis, simulation, data and process management."
"If this is allowed to develop, all our efforts will be in vain."
Cao Yang easily found an entry point for data security.
Of course, the current Yangcheng Zhongwang is obviously not an ordinary private enterprise.
"The headquarters finally agreed to our plan, and now if we find that the plan not only does not have any positive effect, but loses all the market share of Dassault Huaxia, then we are waiting to be laid off!"
"Connecting people, ideas, data, and solutions to an always-available collaborative and interactive environment can help businesses improve execution, increase productivity, and accelerate innovation."
"Among them, CAITA has been successfully developed by Yangcheng Zhongwang as a substitute product, and it has begun to be popularized on a large scale."
This alliance is one of the most influential associations in Huaxia Industrial Software, which is a semi-official non-profit organization established directly under the guidance of relevant departments.
"Even I am worried that as long as Dassault Huaxia really goes to sue the relevant departments, then we will never have any chance to survive in Huaxia from now on."
Just when the struggle between NSCAD and CATIA was heating up, a new election was held within the Huaxia Industrial Software Industry Development Alliance, and Du Yulin became the new chairman of the committee.
"After all, people have already released the big trick of free use for new users."
"But the appeal of this plan is not particularly high."
Even after Huaxia's similar software begins to enter the international market, Dassault's industrial software will face a more severe pattern.
"Data security is indeed a very important topic, especially industrial software, which has a series of design data behind these things."
After winning the battle against the son, the father is about to come out.
Now Du Yulin does not hesitate to share this advantage with everyone, which is naturally very popular with everyone.
"Thank you, Director Du, I will definitely not be polite when the time comes."
For a short period of time, people will continue to use CATIA, but the next step will be to switch to NSCAD.
"3D EXPERIENCE, ABAQUS finite element analysis software, SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD system, GEOVIA geological modeling and simulation software, and CATIA are the five core industrial software products of Dassault."
As a native of China, Leo is naturally very clear about the national conditions on the Chinese side.
There must be a lot of people in the industry who are staring at this thing.
"As long as the manufacturer leaves some bugs in the background, it is easy to obtain the user's confidential drawing data, which is very unfavorable for our data security."
The point is, he doesn't know what to do.
can only watch the development of Dassault Huaxia fall into a predicament.
