Global monopoly of technology

Pengcheng, Jingchuang Technology Headquarters.

"Everyone, our company is placed high hopes by the old boss, Archbishop Luo Sheng. Mr. Luo just called me personally and said that the domestic EDA software is currently the best we can play. This is our biggest praise. "

Li Donghai, the founder of Jingchuang Technology, said to everyone at the meeting with high spirits that the so-called spring breeze was proud at this moment.

In the area of ​​EDA industrial software, 6 years ago, Shengfeng Capital also invested in more than a dozen companies focusing on EDA software such as Huada Jiutian, and Jingchuang Technology was established six years ago and obtained the angel round of Shengfeng Capital. Financing.

Before that, the industry of industrial software could be said to be something that my grandma didn't care for my uncle. There was no capital injection of several hundred million yuan in the entire industry in one year, but the admission of Shengfeng Capital changed this situation.

It can be said that Luo Sheng has changed the domestic industrial software by himself.

After six years, Jingchuang Technology is the most promising domestic EDA software research and development company under the continuous blood transfusion of Shengfeng Capital.

Li Donghai exhilaratedly said: "Just talked with Mr. Luo. He decided to hand over the EDA software for the IC front-end design of the Azure-5 chip to us. The reward is 2 billion yuan. This is not financing, but an order. Of course, it is also an order. Kind of support."

The co-founders who attended the meeting were astonished: "Lao Li, do you mean that the Azure-5 IC front-end design is handed over to us? This... Mr. Luo trusts us so much? We don't have a decent product yet, in case we mess up... "

Li Donghai said: "I just asked Mr. Luo about the meaning of this. His answer is: let go and do it all, but he also said that it may not be really used, just as a guarantee plan for the spare tire link. ."

Having said this, Li Donghai looked at everyone and said again: "But brothers, are we willing to be a'spare tire'? Don't you want to be a regular? Don't you want to be completely recognized by the boss?"

"Then need to say, who wants to be a spare tire must be turned into a regular one!"

"Yes, turn right!!"

At this moment, it can be described as agitated. These entrepreneurs have been dormant for six years. They are fighting for a breath and creating their own domestic EDA industrial software. For this goal, they have worked hard day and night for more than two thousand days.

In order to make a blockbuster one day.

Why industrial software is so difficult to gnaw? Li Donghai and the others have long thought about how to use a picture to express the four major technical maps.

There are three hardest bones in industrial software, namely CAD, CAE and EDA. There are many small bones interspersed between the big bones, such as CAM, topology optimization, engineering database and so on.

The three hard bones of industrial software are the masters of human basic subjects and engineering knowledge.

Although it supports the entire industrial system, its market share is small and pitiful. It is impossible to find its existence without a microscope, so domestic capital is not interested in it.

However, its own composition is the daunting experience of mathematics, physics, computer and engineering.

No industrial product with such insignificant output value needs such a long life track.

Starting from the university’s mathematical equations, after a long period of smelting of physical mechanisms, computer science and technology, and finally the quenching of engineering knowledge, it can become a mature and usable industrial software product.

An enterprise can't win without ten or twenty years of effort.

The difficulty of making breakthroughs in domestic EDA software is conceivable, but Jingchuang Technology, a young startup company, has achieved remarkable results. Luo Sheng originally thought that BGI would lead the EDA field, but he did not expect to lose money in the end. goods.

In fact, Luo Sheng did not put much energy into the company Jingchuang Technology. He just supported these men of science and engineering, and constantly transfused blood for them in capital to ensure that they did not worry about funding. The state of stocking.

It is not just the field of EDA industrial software. In the past six years, several other key technical links of the domestic semiconductor supply chain have made great progress. Under the large amount of capital, the strategy of spreading the net, although most of them are There are money-losing goods and some cheating money, but there are always one or two companies like Jingchuang Technology that stand out.

For Luo Sheng, those who lose money and defraud him are secondary. It is victory to support the domestic semiconductor industry chain.

...

On the morning of November 13, the Cote d'Azur Laboratory.

"The electromagnetic environment interference test will begin in five minutes."

In an empty indoor test field, more than a dozen engineers and Luo Sheng are all present. At the moment, the prototype test of the 001 fixed-wing UAV is being conducted. The UAV itself does not require much technical content, even about 30%. The technology is actually authorized by DJI. Of course, DJI's commercial drones are mainly rotors.

The manufacturing of drones is mass production on assembly lines. The Blue Coast will not build the production line by itself, but outsource it. Yes, it will be completed by some related foundry companies in Guancheng, and the orders will be done by them. Capable.

The Azure Coast is responsible for the final assembly. The core technology lies in the artificial intelligence drone swarm combat system platform, followed by communications, plus semiconductors.

After a while, An Qingxue came here.

She looked around, and quickly locked a figure in the crowd near the laboratory's console. The other party was wearing work goggles and holding an iP tablet in her hand for data analysis.

This person was Luo Sheng impressively.

An Qingxue hurried over in small steps.

"Mr. Luo, I have something to report to you. Is it convenient now?"

Only in private, Qingxue sister paper will be called "Luo Ge".

Luo Sheng put the tablet aside and said:

"Lin Lei, you are responsible for the following test, and a copy of the result is sent to my private server."

"No problem, boss."

After Luo Sheng walked away, Qingxue sister also followed, and the two came to a corner.

"Just say it here, what's the matter?"

Luo Sheng glanced at the Qingxuemei paper and then looked at the fixed drone prototype hovering in the center of the test site.

Qingxue An immediately said: "On the evening of November 12, according to media quoted supply chain news, North American semiconductor equipment manufacturers such as LAM, AMAT and other companies issued letters requesting domestic companies engaged in military-civilian integration or supplying integrated circuits for military products. , Named Xiongxin Electronics, Huaxin International, Huahong Semiconductor, Lens Semiconductor, and Blue Coast, etc., and they are not allowed to use North American manufacturers' semiconductor equipment to produce military integrated circuits, and the "unlimited traceability" mechanism is in effect."

"This means that the North American semiconductor equipment purchased by the named companies cannot be used by the military in any way, nor can they use these equipment to produce military integrated circuits for the military, even if they produce some civilian integrated circuits that may be used for military purposes. , Nor can it be used by the military, otherwise the consequences may be serious."

Luo Sheng didn't make much waves when he heard the news. The only thing that surprised him was that he didn't expect Lao Mei to discover that she had entered the military industry so soon.

Unexpectedly, it is reasonable. The other party's intelligence system is not a dry meal, but the other party only knows that Luo Sheng has entered the military industry. The specific project that Lao Mei has taken does not know. It's not for dry rice.

"What does this so-called infinite traceability mean? Have you ever understood it?" Luo Sheng looked at An Qingxue and asked, he really didn't know this.

An Qingxue replied:

"Unlimited traceability, I have deliberately learned about it. It should mean that regardless of whether Lens Semiconductor, Xiongxin Electronics, Azure Coast and other companies know about it, as long as you use North American semiconductor equipment including industrial software and other equipment to produce chips, they will eventually be used by the military. It means to be held accountable, and possibly all intermediate link manufacturers."

The so-called accountability is punishment, and punishment is nothing more than cutting off equipment supply, upgrading, and fines. For enterprises, these blows are heavy enough.

Luo Sheng couldn't help but started and said: "That is...For example, some high-end chips of some North American chip manufacturers are prohibited from selling to companies with military background, so they will conduct some background on customer a before selling. Investigation, there is no problem to cooperate. If afterwards, the chip goes through a series of channels without the knowledge of customer a, and finally reaches the military or is used in military products, then a should not be used Responsible, but if it is'unlimited retrospective', then a needs to be responsible?"

An Qingxue didn't know whether Luo Sheng was talking to herself or talking to herself, but she couldn't say anything about it, because she didn't know it, and couldn't bear the responsibility, so she simply didn't hear it.

Luo Sheng was indeed talking to himself. He snapped his fingers and said with a smile but a smile: "The old beauty is not only a hooligan, it seems to be aimed at me, but in fact it is aimed at me, but the strategy is to hit the middle Link manufacturers, they are not as capable as I am, but they are quick and accurate, and they are very critical when they move."

North America has resorted to this trick. The relevant intermediate link manufacturers are definitely not good, because they have already cooperated with the Côte d’Azur. For these intermediate link manufacturers, not to mention directly paying fines to the United States, and cutting off the customer partners. It is difficult to survive, especially for manufacturers with most overseas customers.

An Qingxue couldn't help asking: "Brother Luo, what should we do?"

Luo Sheng glanced at the Qingxue sister paper, smiled lightly, and said, "I can only use my most powerful ability."

Qingxue sister paper: "The most powerful ability? What is it?"

Luo Sheng: "Banknote ability."

Qingxue sister paper: "Super power?"

Luo Sheng: "Banknote capacity, referred to as banknote capacity."

Qingxue sister paper: "..."
