Chapter 70 Open Source Plug-in Competition
If the trajectory continues, Ms. Carly, who was later called "the most beautiful CEO in the world", will become an executive of Lucent, which was spun off from AT&T, in '95. Then in '99, Hewlett-Packard drove an excavator to Lucent's doorstep and poached her directly to serve as president and CEO — HP's stock price rose from $70 to $100 in her first year in office...... At that time, the world was in an uproar, and Lucent was confused.
Later, she made a big sacrifice and directly annexed the old rival Compaq and announced the establishment of the new HP.
However...... This woman is really not simple, and when the business declined, she ruthlessly fired three executives.
Of course, her ending was also quite cup - in 05, the board of directors held an emergency meeting and directly removed her. When they heard the news of her dismissal, HP employees raised their glasses with joy, which shows how bad her popularity is.
When recalling Carly's glorious deeds, Su Yuanshan only sighed that this woman was born 20 years early. If she had been born 20 years later, wouldn't the wolf culture she was playing be the popular wolf culture in later generations? It's a pity that HP, as a century-old enterprise, has a profound corporate culture that is "as gentle as a mother" and pays attention to people-oriented.
Carly couldn't fight with the gang.
But now the corporate culture of Xinghai is far from being formed, Xi Xiaoding is purely engaged in technology, Yang Yiwen is only responsible for legal affairs and daily affairs, and Qin Si is responsible for market development. As for the management of the company, the three of them formed a delicate balance under the special relationship, and everything was discussed. So there is no contradiction.
However, as Su Yuanshan said, the development of Xinghai's side is too slow.
It's not anyone's fault, it's that none of them are professional. Although Qin Si is a little better, she is mainly good at investment, and she is still learning to transfer from the financial world to the high-tech field.
After Su Yuanshan introduced Carly, Xi Xiaoding actually nodded and said that he knew - he would occasionally encounter it in a café. After all, Silicon Valley is so small, and Xinghai is not far from AT&T's semiconductor division here.
"At first glance, she is a very capable lady, but she ...... Are you sure she'll come?"
"There is only one condition for digging ordinary people, and the money is in place. ”
"It takes two conditions to dig people like you, development potential and money in place, oh no, you have to add a dry cool. Su Yuanshan curled his fingers and smiled: "We all have these conditions." ”
Xi Xiaoding opened his mouth to refute, but finally smiled bitterly: "You're right." ”

Entering Silicon Valley, Su Yuanshan went directly to the company without having time to get jet lag. After half a year of extensive development, six departments have been formed on the Xinghai side.
One is that Xi Xiaoding is in charge of the software development team, which is mainly composed of international students and local students, and is currently conducting the final test of the CRM software (customer management system) - in terms of design, Xi Xiaoding has largely accepted Su Yuanshan's opinion. And because CRM is a pure business software, not industry software, and there is no top opponent like Synopsys, Su Yuanshan asked Xi Xiaoding to make a detailed upgrade progress, there is no need to do it in one step, just take your time according to customer feedback.
The second is Howard's commercial chip design division. After designing and perfecting the cordless phone, Howard and the others began to connect with the Yuanxintian Yaoming team in the provincial capital according to Su Yuanshan's arrangement, and invested in the development of GSM, using phone and EMAIL to inform each other of the progress.
Then there is the investment and market development department in charge of Qin Si, the EDA technical support department in charge of a young man named Phipps, and the logistics and legal department in charge of Yang Yiwen.
Moreover, the number of people in Silicon Valley alone has expanded to more than 400 people, and it is about to catch up with the Yuanxin headquarters in the provincial capital, not counting the new companies that have just been established in Europe.
In Xi Xiaoding's office, Su Yuanshan was happy after reading the current structure: "It's a miracle that you didn't fall apart in such a mess." ”
Yang Yiwen glared at him: "Aren't there so many people in Yuanxin?"
"That's different, Yuanxin's after-sales service is independent. The headquarters is basically all about technology, and I still hold ...... Withstandable. Su Yuanshan put down the documents, raised his head and said to Qin Si: "Sister Qin Si, it's hard work." ”
Qin Si breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Although she was invited by Su Yuanshan to join, among the three elders here, she really belongs to the "outsider". In the past six months, she has tried her best to manage the company's business, and she is afraid that it will not be good for anyone to take the blame if something goes wrong. At this time, she could get Su Yuanshan's hard work, and she was naturally relieved - it seems that Su Yuanshan can see her efforts.
"There is a specialization in the art industry, and in the future, Sister Qin Si's main focus will be on the investment department, and she will refine her vision as soon as possible. In the future, the investment department will be independent into a professional investment company. ”
Qin Si agreed very simply: "Okay." ”
"My sister-in-law will not move for the time being, and Mao Gui, a professional lawyer on Lao Mei's side, can only cooperate with the law firm now. And my sister-in-law's task is to be familiar with the law here—why don't you see if you can apply for a master's degree here?"
"Well, I'll think about it. ”
"Senior Brother Xi, here......" Su Yuanshan turned his head to look at Xi Xiaoding, who was sitting on the sofa like an old man.
Xi Xiaoding raised his head and smiled at him: "What am I doing?" ”
"You wait for Chen Haoming over there to take over your shift after he comes out-" Su Yuanshan looked at Qin Si. "Senior Brother Chen, will you be able to get the certificate soon?"
Qin Si nodded: "Well, I will graduate in June." ”
Su Yuanshan looked at Xi Xiaoding again: "When Senior Brother Xi returns to China, or wait for the end of the year when the Science and Technology Park is repaired and then return to China...... However, in the second half of next year, I still suggest that my senior brother hang up a teaching position in the electrical department, and take excellent graduate students to specialize in algorithms. ”
Xi Xiaoding's expression suddenly became serious: "Let's be specific." ”
"To be specific, when the time comes, let's get together and see if we can write a set of algorithm textbooks suitable for our country, and there don't seem to be many algorithms here, and most of the textbooks are "Introduction to Algorithms" edited by Coleman and Leevis, right?"
Xi Xiaoding nodded: "When I returned to China last year, I actually planned to translate "Introduction to Algorithms" to China, but after returning to China for a walk, I found that it was ...... The school didn't even have a few computers, so I dispelled this idea. How did you learn it?"
Su Yuanshan smiled: "I learned it from the dictionary." ”
Everyone: "......"
At this time, the excitement gradually passed, Su Yuanshan's tiredness hit, he looked around, and always felt that he seemed to have missed something. After shutting his eyes hard, he saw the forum below the monitor.
Su Yuanshan instantly sobered up: "I dizzy, I almost forgot! Senior brother, I sent a notice on our forum, and it was said that Yuanxin EDA sponsored the first open source plug-in competition, and the top ten were collectively voted by experts and forum members, and the top three were awarded by Yuanxin, with a maximum of 30,000 US dollars." Note: Far Chip's employees are not allowed to participate. ”
"I'm ...... You're ruthless enough. ”
Su Yuanshan smiled.
It's not that he's ruthless, it's just that now there is no Internet, and the forum is the only place for elite programmers to communicate. The delay of the Yuanxin Forum is certainly related to the bias towards industry software, but it is a bit too much for so many IC designers around the world to be networked that they are not on the professional EDA forum.
"I'm too sleepy, I have to go back to sleep first, Senior Brother Xi, you can send an email to ask Ms. Carly to see if she has time tomorrow." ”
Su Yuanshan took out a piece of paper and threw it on the table, yawning again.
