After a thousand years of trading, start a million barrels of oil

Chapter 144 EDA needs to be adapted (seeking monthly pass)

There are two people sitting in front of the coffee table, one is a middle-aged man in his 50s, and the other is a woman, dignified and graceful, her oval-shaped slightly fat cheeks reveal dignity and temperament, and she is nearly 50 Despite his age, he still looks young and exudes charming charm.

Although Jiang Fan has never met a real person, he is still familiar with this person. Isn't this Ms. Meng Wanzhou?

Jiang Fan walked towards that table quickly. Meng Wanzhou was chatting with the middle-aged man next to him. The two of them were stunned when they saw Jiang Fan walking quickly. Could it be that this is the one who asked them to come from the imperial capital? The extremely important Mr. Jiang who rushed over from Shencheng and said he must meet?
They were still chatting just now, and the state-owned assets directly ordered them to put down all their work and rush to Rongcheng, saying that there might be an opportunity to solve the problem there.

Naturally, they didn't dare to delay. After explaining the matter quickly, they immediately flew to Rongcheng. Only when they arrived in Rongcheng did they realize that they were going to meet someone.

After the two of them met, they were still discussing what kind of person they would meet and what method this person would use to help them solve this problem.

But no matter how much I thought about it, I didn't expect it to be a young man. He couldn't be the person who can help solve the problem mentioned above, right?

"Is it Mr. Jiang?" Meng Wanzhou asked tentatively, to make sure this wasn't the waiter of the coffee shop.

Jiang Fan also smiled and nodded, "I am Jiang Fan, and you are Ms. Meng?"

Meng Wanzhou froze for a moment, it really is this person, no matter how suspicious she was, she couldn't be negligent on the face, and she immediately got up and said, "Hello, hello, I'm Meng Wanzhou, please sit down."

Jiang Fan sat down and saw another middle-aged man he didn't recognize, looked at Meng Wanzhou and asked, "Who is this?"

"Oh, this is Liu Weiping, who spent nine days." Meng Wanzhou also introduced to Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan opened his mouth slightly, Huada Jiutian knew it, he did some homework these two days, chip design requires EDA software, and Huada Jiutian is the No.1 EDA software in China, although there is still a gap from abroad Huge, but this is already the existence of the domestic leader.

"Hello, hello." Jiang Fan respects these entrepreneurs who specialize in strengthening the country's weaknesses.

After shaking hands, the three sat down and began to talk about business.

I chatted with Meng Wanzhou about the current industry situation, and in the conversation with Liu Weiping, I learned a lot about the entire industry chain of chips, including the history of EDA.

From 0 to 1, a chip needs to go through three processes: upstream design, midstream manufacturing, and downstream packaging and testing.

Midstream manufacturing is to use a series of high-end machines such as the most well-known lithography machines, etching machines, and ion implanters to make wafers into chips.

The upstream design is done by manufacturers like Hua Wei. If it is necessary to install a Kirin chip in the Honor mobile phone, Hua Wei designs the Kirin chip himself, and then takes it to a midstream foundry for them to produce.

The tool Hua Wei used to design the Kirin chip is called an EDA tool. Liu Weiping spent nine days developing this EDA tool for Hua Wei and the others to use.

It's just that the EDA that took nine days to develop is not good enough, so most companies still use the EDA tools developed by the three giants Synopsys, Cadence, and Mentor Graphics.

This is also the difficulty.

So Jiang Fan also understood why the higher-ups arranged for these two people to come, and to solve the source first before talking about other things.

"Mr. Jiang, do you really have a solution?" Meng Wanzhou asked this question after talking about other things.

Liu Weiping's gaze also turned to Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan pondered for a while and said, "I can try it. According to what you just said, the first step is to solve the EDA problem, right?"

Meng Wanzhou: "That's right, we can design it this way."

Jiang Fan: "Okay, I'll try."

Far away, the old man walked back to the office angrily. Because of the failure of the new energy battery, he was severely criticized by his superiors. If his faction was not correct, he would probably be dismissed this time.

But this time is the most tolerable. If similar mistakes occur again, his position will most likely be lost.

"William, you seem to be in a bad mood." David who came in also saw the strange expression on the old man's face.

The old man looked at David, this guy also had a part in this failure, but this guy shut up and didn't make any suggestions in the second half, so he can't rely on him, it's really maddening.

"Have you written an analysis on the direction of the opponent's technological development and possible threats?" the old man asked David.

David nodded: "It's finished. Based on the research and judgment of the other party's recent moves in the technology field, we have analyzed that they should focus on areas that are convenient for single-point breakthroughs and emerging areas where no one has yet taken a leading position.

For example, although there are a lot of high-end CNC machine tools to be broken through, on the one hand, the main focus is on technological breakthroughs, and secondly, as long as one machine tool breaks through, at least that machine tool can be used immediately, and there is no interconnection between them.

And they have actually made some breakthroughs in the high-end machine tools with five-axis linkage before, which is nothing more than expanding the points into surfaces.

As for new energy batteries, no one has taken a dominant position in the early days. In their words, it is called a hundred schools of thought contending, and a hundred flowers blooming, so they have a certain chance of overtaking on these tracks.

But for some fields like chips and aero engines, they are already at a big disadvantage, and there are many fields and components involved, and they need to be used together to achieve the effect.

In this way, it will not be so easy for them to overtake. Our first-mover advantage will be very obvious, and relying on market occupation, this advantage may become bigger and bigger. "

After listening to David's report, the old man felt a little better, and it wasn't all bad news.

However, he also reminded David: "For this group, you must not take it lightly, and you must report to him in time if you have any signs."

David nodded and left.

After Jiang Fan bid farewell to Mengwan and returned home on Tuesday, he didn't delay much, and directly entered the trading space, calling out the young people.

"Hi, Mr. J." The young man gestured.

Jiang Fan smiled, reached into his coat pocket, took out a photo, shook it in front of his face, and said, "Do you know this?"

The young people's eyes lit up when they saw it. In the photo are Wang Yaping, Ye Guangfu, and Zhai Zhigang, three early Chinese astronauts.

This kind of photo is already very scarce in this era, and the photo alone is worth a lot in the antique market.

The young people saw that the photos brought by Mr. J were indeed signed with the names of the three astronauts as agreed, which is even more precious and invaluable.

"Mr. J, it is my blessing to meet you." The young man couldn't help but want to take this photo.

Jiang Fan didn't whet his appetite either. This was the trade item of the last round, and every yard is worth every yard.

So I opened the transfer cabinet directly, put the photos in, and completed the transaction after operating the transaction panel.

The young man took out the photo and rubbed it gently in his hand to appreciate it. He also took a special transparent bag and put the photo in carefully for fear of damaging it.

"There is one more thing I want to ask you." Jiang Fan and other young people watched and admired for a while before saying.

"Oh? You said." The young man carefully put the photo back into the locker while speaking.

Jiang Fan: "Do you know EDA?"

The young people wondered: "EDA? There is a peace organization with this name, and there is also an Interstellar Pig Breeding Association with this name."

Jiang Fan rubbed his forehead, well, he didn't make it clear, many abbreviations of EDA can be this.

He cleared his throat and continued: "I'm talking about something that was thousands of years ago. You know the chips that were thousands of years ago. EDA is a set of design tools, which are used to design chips."

The young man moved the screen to inquire about the relevant knowledge, and suddenly said: "Understood, EDA software, I understand, why are you asking this?"

Jiang Fan: "I want a set of the entire software and its underlying logic and code data. The time point is 2040. Is there something missing that needs to be supplemented?"

Jiang Fan remembered that the information was never complete.

The young man sneered and said, "No need, I just asked the people in the archives by the way, the software and materials are complete, even the installation package.

By the way, should I also send you a set of the operating system at that time? "

Jiang Fan waved his hand: "I have an operating system around 2022."

The young man said: "You can't play in 2022. You know, the adaptation year of the software and the system should not be too different. If you are an EDA in 2040, I will at least send you an operating system in 2035.

If EDA is used to adapt the operating system, your system in 2022, at most, I will give you a set of EDA software in 2027, which should be able to adapt. "

Jiang Fan was reminded of this, and there is still a problem of adaptation. Thinking about the 2027, it is advanced enough, so he agreed, and asked the young people:
"What reward do you want this time?"
