"I heard that you can get two MOS chips in two days?"

Xi Xiaoding held two floppy disks in his hand and tapped them in his palm, and asked with a smile.

Su Yuanshan left the keyboard with both hands, turned around and smiled: "You will lose if you listen to his nonsense." How much does Senior Brother Xi know about VHDL?"

Xi Xiaoding shrugged: "I've heard of it, I know a little more about Verilog HDL, I'm not as wicked as you." ”

Verilog HDL and VHDL are currently more common and popular hardware description languages, and only those who are engaged in IC will use them, and Xi Xiaoding will not be very normal.

Su Yuanshan shook his head with a smile: "Do you want to use the workstation while waiting?"

Xi Xiaoding shook his head: "I'm not in a hurry, just help me run it when you rest, this is a half-finished thermal management simulation tool, which was originally supported by data, but thanks to your ideas, the open interface allows users to enter data for correction." ”

"Then you come first, model this piece of your cow. Su Yuanshan saved the project first, got up and got out of the way.

Xi Xiaoding smiled and sat down on the chair without refusal.

After getting along in the past few months, he already knows how good Su Yuanshan is, and he also knows that Su Yuanshan is generally not modest or exaggerated - just like him, he will say whatever he wants.

In the whole company, Xi Xiaoding's models and data are indeed invincible.

While waiting for the copy, Xi Xiaoding turned his chair and looked back at Su Yuanshan: "I have an idea." ”

Su Yuanshan was stunned: "You say." ”

"Did you know there's a distributor convention in the west this year?"

"Yes. Su Yuanshan nodded.

The World Distributors Conference held in Las Vegas in October '91 and the International Radio and Television Technology Exhibition held in the same place in April '92 - Su Yuanshan can recall it only from memory.

At this show in '91, Apple opened with 12 new products in one go, then 1280 HDTVs and monitors, and then the toothpaste factory squeezed out 66M of 486...... It was an eye-opener for Chinese scholars and officials who went to see the exhibition, and the report after returning to China called the exhibition "a worldwide remark".

As for the TV exhibition in '92, the biggest impact on China was the encounter between C-Cube and Jiang Wanmeng - which kicked off the decade of VCD.

MPEG-1 has not yet been adopted by the International Organization for Standardization, but this does not prevent a prescient company like Scooper from preemptively developing decoder chips, so as to make hundreds of millions of dollars in the subsequent VCD market just by selling chips.

In Su Yuanshan's plan, the next target is the MPEG-1 decoding chip.

Xi Xiaoding nodded: "I know you want to give Yuanxin EDA to your father to the capital for national certification, so as to obtain ...... Qualifications for promotion. But I calculated, it shouldn't be too late. We're going to test a few versions, wait until the final compilation is complete, and then start the tabting, which is estimated to be eight or September. ”

"But the most important thing is to exhibit, and this opportunity is simply created for us. I can guarantee that as soon as our Yuanxin EDA is unveiled, all EDAs focusing on PCB design will be collectively wiped out, and Cadence and others, which focus on chip design, will rely on their relationship with the chip factory to struggle for a while. ”

"I have friends with Cyrix, even if we don't have money now, we can set up a local sales company by cooperating with companies such as Deyi and Cyrix, which already need EDA, and at the same time hire local employees or our international students for after-sales service. ”

"This action has to be fast. As long as the X86 giant Intel can be pulled into our camp, Yuanxin EDA can dominate the rivers and lakes. And because of the private nature of our company, there will be a lot less trouble in the west. If you wait for your dad to enter the capital...... I'm afraid that the attributes of the company may not be. ”

After Xi Xiaoding finished speaking, he stared at Su Yuanshan tightly, waiting for him to make a statement.

Su Yuanshan kept pursing his lips and listened carefully, and when he heard the last sentence, he finally understood why Xi Xiaoding was in such a hurry, he was afraid that Yuanxin would be "public-private partnership".

"Just in time. Su Yuanshan shook his head with a smile: "And the senior brother is too worried in the end, I can give you the bottom now, we will not "sell" a single share of Yuanxin now." ”

"It doesn't matter what the subsidiary is going to be in the future, you can play whatever you want. But you're right, this year is still going to pass, but our goal is not necessarily to win Intel. ”

Xi Xiaoding was stunned: "What is that?"

Su Yuanshan smiled slightly: "Take down the friends in the east." ”

In the past few years, the Star Flag State has brandished the infamous 301 bill, forcing the eastern Ni country to sign the "Semiconductor Guarantee Agreement" in the second year of becoming the largest semiconductor country, that is, in 86 years, and taking the intellectual property rights and patents of the Ni country for nothing, but the good foundation of the Ni country has not obviously shown fatigue, so this year, that is, in 91 years, it once again forced the Ni country to sign the second semiconductor agreement.

It is precisely because of this that the country of Ni, which is anxious to get out of its difficulties, will increase its domestic investment and cooperation, and at the same time, the emperor will visit next year.

"Of course, the western market will definitely be occupied. It's just that we have taken the upper route, and educational institutions use it for free + come with teaching materials, and the anti-dumping law can't cure me. ”

Xi Xiaoding was stunned for a long time: "Damn!

After waiting for Xi Xiaoding to verify the data, Su Yuanshan sat back on the plane.

In fact, compared with the exhibition in the second half of the year, the more important task now is to make money.

The uncle's monthly paging business has a stable income of 200,000 gross profits, which seems to be very strong. But there is not much left after the money is paid, the salary is paid, the messy management fee, the rent, etc., so that now Yuanxin doesn't even dare to let go - can only wait for the graduation season to make a move.

The 1 million that has been saved in the account is the money used for tape-out. As for the construction of a pager factory, there is only an empty glove white wolf and a technical cooperation route.

Even though Su Yuanshan was already busy putting on his seventeen-year-old hair, when the design of all the chips and PCB boards was completed, the time still came to mid-June.

With simple luggage and two hard drives in their arms, Su Yuanshan and Tian Yaoming stepped on the train to Jinling.

The green-skinned sleeper arrived in Jinling after two days and two nights, and then took a five-hour bus ride until 3 p.m. to reach Jiangyin bus station.

As soon as he got off the car, Su Yuanshan saw Qin Weimin standing at the exit of the station, looking at his appearance, it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

At this time, Jiangyin was still only a county seat, far less prosperous than in later generations, the station entrance was full of noodles and motorcycles, and those drivers kept rushing off the passengers to wave for passengers.

"Senior brother. ”

"Senior Brother Tian. ”

After saying hello, Qin Weimin said with a smile: "If you don't come again, I guess I will have to go back to the provincial capital." ”

Qin Weimin stayed here with people for almost a month for the final interface, and only completed the final test three days ago. Everyone else couldn't wait to rush back, but Qin Weimin heard that Su Yuanshan was coming, so he waited for another three days.

"Mostly my problem. Su Yuanshan smiled: "I forgot to pull the whole body when I first designed, made a low-level mistake, and redesigned a main control + display driver IC, otherwise it should be a few days in advance." ”

Hearing Su Yuanshan claim to have made a low-level mistake, Tian Yaoming on the side didn't say anything, just sighed and shook his head again.

Eight people, in less than a month, completed three new chip designs, plus two PCBs.

This kind of speed is a model worker worthy of special mention in any enterprise, and he is actually too slow.

And the main reason for slowing down is still on the coding chip of the launch pad, because it is compatible with the host, and the host of the launch pad cannot be dismantled for research, so the progress was very slow for a while. And until now, not to mention that Su Yuanshan is not sure, even all the professors in the single-chip microcomputer research group of the electrical department are not sure whether Su Yuanshan's replacement design is useful. It's just that from the above simulation of EDA, it is effective.

The station is not far from the Jiangyin factory, and the weather is not hot today, so the three of them walked along the road.

Along the way, the surrounding factories are adjacent to each other, and it has begun to take shape as an electronic city.

As he walked, Qin Weimin said with a smile: "Actually, when we first came, we didn't suffer a lot of eyes. ”

Su Yuanshan said strangely: "Isn't there Senior Brother Jiang Qingchuan? Why didn't I listen to you?"

"Lao Jiang is just a production section chief...... And the director who let us go to the capital to study, and the deputy director of the factory is Pan Dajun, the deputy director of the factory. Deputy Director Napan ...... to us Tsk, I don't know how to describe it. Later, I learned that his brother was Protel's agent and after-sales service here, and his brother was responsible for the maintenance of Protel in their factory. ”

"You thought you were here to rob his brother of his job?"

"It's just that what we brought over at that time was a debugging version, and it was originally confidential, so we ignored him, and we didn't make a fuss until the factory director came back. Qin Weimin touched Su Yuanshan: "What version are you bringing this time?"

"The beta version, but it's no problem when it's final, basically no bugs. By the way, what about Senior Brother Jiang?"

"In a production meeting, I made a layout with Protel for a customer who made a tape recorder, but as soon as the customer arrived at the factory, the layout went wrong. "Qin Weimin is quite gloating.

Su Yuanshan and Tian Yaoming were happy at the same time - it turned out to be a peer, no wonder Qin Weimin was so happy.

Before they knew it, the three of them approached the factory, when a jeep roared past the three of them, and then rushed to the gate.

Listening to the sound of the car, Su Yuanshan's heart jumped suddenly, and he subconsciously hid to the side.

When Qin Weimin saw the driver in the car, his face suddenly darkened.

"What's wrong with you?" Tian Yaoming saw that the faces of the two were not right—wasn't it just a car that was driving a little fast?

"The younger brother of Deputy Director Pan, do Protel that. ”
