Lin Yonggu opened the curtains and stood by the window on the twenty-third floor and looked at the city below.

The urban area is very large, but it is very old, and it is not a star and a half worse than T North, and it is not even comparable to X bamboo. The builders on the site didn't seem to be very enthusiastic either—in short, there was a sense of not being very energetic.

However, Lin Yonggu admired the style of Yuanxin downstairs, and he went straight to the point and went straight to the point.

How can you really engage in technology have so much time to drink kung fu tea?

Jiang Mingqi's voice came from behind him: "Brother Yonggu, we won't be monitored here, right?"

Lin Yonggu turned around, and when he saw his colleague's guarded face, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "You think too much, right? We are not important military and political officials." What are you listening to us for?"

Jiang Mingqi smiled: "Then have you contacted the headquarters?"

Lin Yonggu shook his head: "Not yet, although Manager Pan has always said that Xiao Su is always a practical person, but he still has to see his father." And this thing ...... What do you think?"

Jiang Mingqi and Chen Zihao glanced at each other and said cautiously: "I don't have much opinion, but the chip technology of the mainlanders is very poor, that's for sure." Even if they want to reverse it, they will definitely not see the effect in ten or eight years. ”

Lin Yonggu smiled and shook his head: "Reverse depends on the implementation of microcode, and masks are just a process means." And the main problem is that the headquarters probably won't agree to them. ”

"Then just refuse, they won't sell our software, right?"

"Of course not, but without their designers to connect with us, it is very inconvenient for us to reverse or design. Lin Yonggu rubbed his brows, very hesitant.

As the head of UMC's IC design department, Lin Yonggu is well aware of the current UMC situation. The top management has revealed that they want to divest or even sell the IC design department and go to TSMC's professional foundry (wafer factory), which makes the designers of the IC department feel inexplicably panicked - at present, except for Cyrix, there is no mature Fabless company (waferless independent IC design company).

Maybe Yuanxin is an emerging IC design company.

When it is not yet clear to see the future of independent IC design companies, UMC's IC design department is certainly not willing to risk being divested.

"It really depends on how much they can help us. Lin Yonggu sighed lightly and immediately smiled: "Don't care about these first, let's take a bath, rest, and see what their boss says at night, we Chinese have always talked about things at the wine table." ”

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Su Xinghe came to the company on time, and then spent an hour to figure out the situation. At six o'clock, he took Qin Weimin, Su Yuanshan, Xi Xiaoding, Zhang Ke and Pan Xiaojun to the twenty-third floor on time, and after greetings, the group went directly to the revolving restaurant on the thirty-second floor.

Although Professor Su Xinghe is a standard scholar, he is also a soldier who has been tested by alcohol, not to mention Zhang Ke and Pan Xiaojun. It didn't take a few rounds for the three friends on the other side to be dazed.

Of course, everyone is an intellectual, and even if they drink, they pay attention to their individuality, and there will be no degree of pouring people down or pretending to be drunk.

Su Xinghe glanced at his son.

Su Yuanshan understood, and smiled and sandwiched two pieces of dried tofu for Lin Yonggu: "Mr. Lin, it is said that dried tofu is an anti-hangover, come and taste our specialty." ”

Lin Yonggu's cheeks were already slightly red, and the wine was a little upset, but his eyes were still clear, he nodded and smiled: "I heard my father talk about Doucheng's dried tofu. ”

"Who is Mr. Lin's father?"

"My father is from Doucheng, and I was born in a military village, but it's a pity that I can't speak my hometown dialect anymore. ”

"Oh, then Mr. Lin, do you want to go back to Doucheng this time?"

"This time it's official business, so there's no need, and besides, I don't know anyone when I go, so I'll wait until next year to have the opportunity to bring my father back together. ”

"The distinction between public and private is clear, admiration. Su Yuanshan smiled: "It seems that we want to get Mr. Lin drunk, and then let the idea of taking the opportunity for the lion to open his mouth fail." ”

A joke made everyone relax again, Lin Yonggu also smiled and pinched the teacup, he looked at Su Xinghe, and finally looked at Su Yuanshan.

Judging from the performance just now, this Xiao Su is really able to represent his father with full authority. This couldn't help but make Lin Yonggu start to think about the wording.

"I understand what Mr. Su meant, but ...... With all due respect, there is no practical benefit to reversing this kind of thing, other than to give you a little more experience. What's more, as a professional EDA and IC design company, you can directly design a new CPU without reversing at all. ”

"Hmm......" Su Yuanshan also lightly clasped the teacup and smiled: "Mr. Lin is right, it's just that we don't have any experience in designing CPUs now, and it's good to be able to take a look at it more." What's more, we can both ponder each other and improve each other. ”

"It's difficult," Lin Yonggu shook his head and said, "You know the relationship between the two sides, whether we come over or you go over, we have to go through a lot of complicated procedures from Xiangjiang, and we have to go through a lot of complicated procedures to stay - let's not talk about these first, even if there is no other interference, UMC's senior management will consider it from the perspective of trade secrets." ”

"Then what if our people are with you?" Su Yuanshan narrowed his eyes, stared at Lin Yonggu and said softly: "Let's reverse the situation together and get 486 out, what does Mr. Lin think?"

"We will send engineers who have participated in EDA development and are proficient in EDA design to teach your designers by hand. At the same time, the subsequent version upgrade of Yuanxin EDA will be unconditionally compatible with your production line, and as long as it passes our simulation verification, it can greatly meet your production line, thereby improving the probability of tape-out and mass production yield. ”

Lin Yonggu took a breath lightly, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

If the core competitiveness of an IC design unit is to use EDA to design IC chips required by users quickly, efficiently and standardly, then the core competitiveness of a fab, in addition to the manufacturing process, is the success rate and mass production yield of tape-out.

Although the pot of tape-out failure is generally carried by the IC designer, it is always unpleasant for people to carry too much - if the pot can be eliminated as much as possible before the tape-out, it is a good thing for both the fab and the designer. Not to mention mass production yield.

Although the mass production yield can be improved through continuous adjustment on the subsequent production line, if a good yield starting point can be achieved through EDA at the beginning, this is undoubtedly a happy thing.

"In the end, the 486 that came out of the reverse must not be authorized by X86, but it is not in the way...... The domestic market is now taking off, and as long as it is cheaper, it will not lose costs. Su Yuanshan smiled with a smile in his eyes: "What do you say, Mr. Lin." ”

Lin Yonggu stopped and turned the teacup, he took another breath, and stared at Su Yuanshan after a few seconds of silence: "If, I mean if, UMC's senior management is willing for you to join the cooperation, how many people are you going to send over?

Su Yuanshan smiled casually.

"In addition to the EDA engineers, there are also chip design and thrust mask engineers - actually...... Imitation of this living ...... Everybody's going to know a little bit, right......"
