Chapter 17 Let's have breakfast together
Early the next morning, Ye Zhou received a call from Lu Xu.

"Hello, Ye Zhou?"

"Brother Xu, tell me."

Lu Xu's voice sounded a little tired, and Ye Zhou glanced sleepily at his phone. It was only 6 o'clock in the morning.

On Sunday, Huaji and these people don’t sleep?

"It's like this, we have a procurement strategy summit with suppliers today, it's with Synopsys. We plan to reduce the share of Synopsys at this meeting-in fact, their restrictions are already too many to continue. Purchasing is necessary."

"However, we need a guarantee. So, can you give us the program of Yinglong EDA in advance?"

"No problem, I can send the computer to Area A in a while. But I have a question, is Huaji going to release Yinglong EDA directly at the summit?"

Ye Zhou asked worriedly.

Now the main functions of Yinglong EDA are complete, but a series of other auxiliary functions including encryption have not been developed. If it is made public now, it may cause unnecessary troubles.

"It will not be made public today. Our plan is to gradually replace the current EDA with Yinglong EDA within a week, and the data migration will be completed within a month."

"One month??"

Ye Zhou turned pale with shock.

Based on his understanding of chip design, companies like Huaji have accumulated a huge amount of historical data. If they want to migrate, they will not be able to do it in half a year or a year.

But Lu Xu actually said that the replacement will be started within a week, and the data migration will be completed within a month?

Are you kidding me?
"That's right, time waits for no one. EDA has eaten up too much of our company's profits - not only our company, but also other domestic companies are in urgent need of a domestic EDA. The time given to us by the official is one month, in one month After that, you will publicly release Ying Long on behalf of Micro Fusion."

"understood."

Ye Zhou nodded heavily. He once again saw Hua Ji's efficiency.

"Okay, for Yinglong's specific quotation, experts from our pricing center will help you design strategies, but if you have your own ideas, you can also bring them up through me at any time, and I will be in charge of fully interfacing with you in the future."

Ye Zhou didn't think too much about pricing. In fact, the money he received now is enough for him to do many things.

Rather than obtaining more benefits through this Yinglong EDA, he cares more about realizing the future that those ancestors paid their lives for but did not get it as soon as possible.

After thinking for a while, Ye Zhou replied:

"I have no requirements on pricing, but there is one condition that I must meet. If I can't do it, I would rather not sell Yinglong."

Lu Xu on the other end of the phone was taken aback.

He didn't know what kind of idea Ye Zhou would come up with, nor did he know whether it would be difficult to realize this idea.

However, the other party proposed at this time, in fact, they could not refuse.

The 1.5 million payment was an advance payment at a good level, but it was actually just a favor fee for Ye Zhou before the pre-sale contract was signed.

If he suddenly doesn't want to sell Yinglong anymore, he can return the money at any time—even if he doesn't.

After a few seconds of silence, he asked:
"What kind of conditions? How about you tell me first?"

"it's actually really easy."

Ye Zhou coughed, as if someone was looking at him in the void, sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding the phone in one hand, and resting the other on his lap.

"My request is that Yinglong EDA can only be sold domestically."

"It is not allowed to be exported to foreign countries, nor is it allowed to be used by domestic companies controlled by foreign capital. At the same time, I want to ensure that Yinglong's quotation can be used by all mainstream chip design companies in China."

Lu Xu on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Heroes have the same views. This is also the consensus reached by our company and the government. Don't worry, there are no traitors among us."

"That's good. I'll be there around eight o'clock, okay?"

".Although I'm very sorry, can I trouble you to come here now? We arranged breakfast for you at the company. The driver has already notified him. He is waiting for you downstairs now."

"Okay, I'll brush my teeth and go."

Ye Zhou sat up suddenly, put on his slippers and ran to the bathroom. Lu Xu on the other end of the phone said a few words of apology, but hearing his tired voice, Ye Zhou suddenly felt his anger subsided.

The other party obviously didn't sleep all night, but I don't know if they have slept in the past two days since I showed Yinglong EDA.

These brothers can get along, and they really suffer at night.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Zhou didn't even change his clothes, and went downstairs with his slippers on. The Alpha downstairs was blinking, and the car door was open. When he walked to the side of the car, a blanket was handed over just right. into his hands.

"Mr. Ye, the seat heating has been turned on for you. Our destination is Area A. The journey takes about 40 minutes. You can rest in the car for a while."

"Thanks a lot."

"Thank you for your hard work, too."

The driver smiled, turned around and started the car.

Without talking all the way, Ye Zhou fell asleep in less than 5 minutes, and when the driver woke him up again, he had already appeared at the door of the office building inside Area A.

Lu Xu stood in the morning sun and waited for him. When Ye Zhou got out of the car, he hurriedly dragged Ye Zhou to the office building.

Ye Zhou directly opened the bag, took out two hard drives from inside, and after careful identification, handed one of them to Lu Xu.

"Here is all the programs of Yinglong EDA, including the user manual and development documents, you can take them first."

Lu Xu waved his hand and replied:
"I can't take it now, I have to sign the contract first. Let's go, the contract is ready, just waiting for you."

Lu Xu pushed open a door, Ye Zhou walked in and saw that his tired face suddenly became active.

There were only two people sitting across the conference table, but those two were legends in the entire communications industry.

However, these two people did not have the domineering arrogance that Ye Zhou thought they could resist.

The old man waved to him with a smile, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Come on, Lu Xu, tell the cafeteria to bring breakfast over, and read the contract while eating, and the lawyer also calls over."

His face was haggard, as if he hadn't slept all night like Lu Xu, but his eyes were frighteningly bright.

"No, no, I'll take a look as soon as possible and sign it right away."

Ye Zhou sat down at the conference table, Lu Xu handed the contract in front of him, turned around and sent a text message to inform the lawyer, the woman beside him said softly:

"Don't worry, this is just an initialed framework contract. There are not many specific details. As long as you request, we can make changes to the contract at any time until you are satisfied with the terms."

Ye Zhou nodded, opened the contract and read it quickly.

This framework contract was only a little over 5 pages long. By the time Lu Xu walked back to the meeting room, he had already read the terms, picked up a pen, and signed his name on the signature spot.

The lawyer who walked in glanced at Ye Zhou and then at Lu Xu.

"Here. Do you still need me?"

Before Lu Xu answered, the old man on the other side said:
"Let's stay and have breakfast together."
