Great Power Technology

Chapter 28 Just Persist for Two Months

In Huaji's conference room, Huaji's top management and official representatives are discussing urgent countermeasures on the rejection list.

"In my opinion, the enemy is a paper tiger. Although it is said that all chip design companies using Yinglong EDA should be included in the rejection list, according to our statistics, the current small chip design companies in our country still occupy a large part of the low-end chip design. market."

"Including power management, multimedia, and video surveillance, they account for more than 90% of the chip design. If Ugly China puts all these companies on the rejection list, the impact is likely to be that they themselves will face comparisons in the manufacturing sector." A long-term no-chip scenario."

"So, I think we still have to take the initiative and explain the pros and cons to the practitioners. We can't even dare to show our swords when the other party makes a move, right?"

The person who spoke was a high-ranking member of the official Development and Reform Commission named Li Xiang. He was nearly 60 years old, and the idea of ​​seeking development from struggle had been deeply rooted in his mind. The first reaction is not to compromise, but to head-on.

"Leader, your starting point is good, but it's a bit unrealistic."

"It is true that we have an advantage in the field of low-end chips, but this is not an irreplaceable advantage."

"The barriers to entry are too low. These chips can be designed by us today, but if there is an emergency, overnight, all the chip design companies of the other party can design all the chips they need in the next year."

"This is the crushing of technical strength, and we must admit this gap."

A high-ranking technical officer of Huaji raised his hand and replied.

He can understand the official ambitions. After all, at the moment when Yinglong EDA was born, and domestic chips were about to make great strides, they suddenly faced such a heavy blow from the enemy, and it was hard for anyone to accept the reality.

But in his view, ideals are one thing and facts are another.

Now the fact of the matter is, there's really nothing they can do about this reject list.

"Then what do you mean, we can only watch our companies compromise? Watch them have to buy the enemy's goods when they have better and cheaper options?"

"Isn't this paying tribute? Come on, tell me, what's the difference between this practice and the previous land cession compensation?"

Li Xiang's face showed a bit of anger. He is not a person who doesn't speak the truth, but when it comes to such big issues, he is always more inclined to make short-term sacrifices.

If he is a business owner, he would rather not make money, but also support domestic new technologies, which is the self-consciousness of a member of the organization.

"Leader, I understand what you mean. Like Huaji, even if it is not on the rejection list now, we can guarantee that we will choose Yinglong EDA. However, if I were a small business owner, I would not be able to choose this way. .”

"Huaji's current size, current cash flow, and our overseas ICT business, even if we rely on our laurels, are enough for us to survive for three to five years. But other small companies are not like this."

"Today they are on the rejection list, and tomorrow the bank will withdraw their loans, and the day after tomorrow they will not be able to eat immediately, and the day after tomorrow they may not even be able to pay their children's tuition fees."

"In this case, do you have the heart to force them?"

Huaji's high-tech executive came from the countryside. He joined Huaji for 20 years and got to his current position with his own hard work. However, his eyes have never moved away from the class he was born in.

He knows the sufferings of the people, and even more that the world is impermanent.

Wearing an exquisite suit, drinking a cup of coffee that costs tens of dollars, and then shouting cheap slogans at a meeting that can determine the fate of many people, in his opinion, is the most stupid behavior.

none of them.

Li Xiang was silent for a long time, and finally sighed deeply.

"I'm sorry, I lost my temper. I hope everyone here can understand. Even at my age, I can't bear what happened these days. The situation is changing."

"Xiao Zhao is right. We can't use wishful thinking to challenge people's jobs. So, with regard to the rejection list, let's not interfere too much for the time being."

As soon as he finished speaking, another man in a Chinese tunic raised his hand and said:
"You can't completely stop interfering."

It is the leader who speaks.

"Our suggestion here is to allocate appropriate financial funds, subsidize key chip design companies, and help them use Yinglong first. As long as Yinglong is used, then we still have a chance."

"Of course, this quota will not be given to Huaji, you have to carry it yourself."

"clear."

Mo Wan, who was sitting in the inner circle, nodded in agreement.

Li Xiang nodded and asked:
"So in your opinion, how big is this funding needed?"

The leader of the Finance Bureau took out a notebook and pushed it in front of the other party, and continued to explain:

"We have already made preliminary calculations. According to current estimates, it will probably require 3 to 3.5 million yuan of funds."

"This fund has to be allocated to nearly 60 domestic companies, with an average of about 500 million per company."

"This money can almost support them for a year. But if there is more, we will not be able to spend it."

Everyone in the venue frowned.

One year is really too short.

Companies that enter the rejection list face a comprehensive blockade. Before the chips are completely domestically produced, no one will manufacture for them, and naturally no one will choose to trade with them.

Even a Chinese-funded enterprise like Huaxin International cannot have any relationship with these chip design companies.

These small companies will face a situation of complete isolation and fighting on their own.

And this situation is the most likely to die.

"It's too short, can you make more money? You are the God of Wealth, and the God of Wealth just wants to make money!"

"It's really impossible. Funds of this scale can only be spent after we apply to adjust the annual budget. It can be said that after spending it, we will not leave any room for ourselves in the next few years."

"I have already made preparations for wage arrears. If there is an unexpected lack of funds at that time, the deduction of wages will be deducted from me first."

Hearing this, Li Xiangdao became completely silent.

To this extent, he really can't push too hard.

The venue was silent, but in this desperate silence, there was a voice that was particularly harsh.

It was the sound of someone typing on a keyboard quickly.

Everyone looked along the source of the voice, and found that the person who was completely out of the way, did not participate in the discussion from the beginning to the end, and only cared about typing on the keyboard was Chen Hao.

Chen Hao of SASAC.

"Chen Hao, what are you doing? Are you not paying attention to such an important meeting?"

There was a bit of displeasure on Li Xiang's face.

Chen Hao didn't look up, he continued typing on the keyboard and clicking the mouse, until the pictures were completely presented in front of him, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

it is true.

Now, the fate of the country is on my shoulders, and the heavy responsibility is on my shoulders.

He raised his head, turned the screen of the notebook to everyone, and then said:
"I was listening just now, and I heard Lao Liu say that the funds can only last for one year."

"However, I now have a new judgment."

"If what I just got is true, it may take less than a year for the chip industry to be 100% localized."

Facing everyone's surprised eyes, he stretched out two fingers.

"Just two months."
