Is it normal for a top student with an EQ of 20 to create a chip?

Chapter 39: Enter the society bravely and defeat the opponent! (Seeking for further reading)

After entering the building, turn left and you will find the hall where Luo Yao visited last time.

At this time, the geniuses are doing their own thing as usual.

But this time, they noticed the arrival of Luo Yao and the others.

"Boss, what tasks are you going to arrange for us?" Sergey came over as soon as he saw Luo Yao.

Others also put down what they were doing and looked at him.

Luo Yao felt strange about Sergey's attitude. He thought for a moment and felt that it was Peng Xun who told them about the laboratory, so the group did not feel strange at all about his arrival.

But a mission?

"Luo Yao, please wait a moment. Everyone needs to sign a confidentiality agreement and learn the confidentiality regulations before they can officially participate in the work arrangements of Shannon Laboratory." Peng Xun walked in at some unknown time, still holding a A stack of papers.

Luo Yao was stunned. The content of this pre-job training seemed to be much more than he imagined.

"Mr. Peng, haven't we all participated in the confidentiality training once?" Sergey was speechless and didn't understand why he continued to participate.

"The project involved this time is not an ordinary project. Everyone must sign the agreement again and learn the relevant regulations. If it cannot be completed, you will not be able to participate in the next work."

Peng Xun's serious speech obviously frightened the young people present. Wang Ye even muttered to Wu Tianming: "Sign a confidentiality agreement, is this the kind on TV?"

"My family has never signed anything like this when doing business with the local master. Why do I need to sign it when I come to the internship?"

"Say less. Have you seen the group of people standing at the door? Professional bodyguards." Wu Tianming had sharp eyes and immediately realized that the laboratory project seemed to be more involved than he thought.

"Professional level, how can you tell?" Wang Ye felt that the other person had two eyes and one mouth, no different from ordinary people.

"My dad previously received the leader of the Capital Health Group, and there were several such people around the leader at that time."

"The way you look at them is not staring at one side, but like a camera, scanning at any time."

Wang Ye had never seen this scene before, and he was frightened.

But he still forced himself to calmly ask Luo Yao: "Boss Santu, do I also want to sign this thing?"

Luo Yao glanced at Peng Xun, who was handing out the agreement, and nodded.

"Okay, then I believe you! Let's go and sign in Tianming!"

They thought that nothing would happen to them after they signed, but Peng Xun asked a big man with huge arms and waist to start explaining the confidentiality regulations to them.

The more they listened, the more frightened they became. Coupled with the visual effects brought by the big man, the whole atmosphere was full. Everyone stopped paying attention to class, and no one dared to desert.

"Luo Yao, it's almost five o'clock. You can go home first. There is a car at the door of the building that can take you home directly."

Luo Yao glanced at Wang Ye and Wu Tianming who were studying and asked, "Where are they?"

"They will study here for two days. During these two days, you should not mention Pangu EDA to them."

Pangu EDA is currently involved in the chip strategic issues of the entire country of China. The superiors are highly concerned about Luo Yao and Pangu EDA, so they specifically asked them to learn the confidentiality regulations.

"I'll have someone take you back first. You have to meet the people from the Semiconductor Alliance tomorrow morning."

Luo Yao glanced at the frowning Wu Tianming and Wang Ye and knew that learning the confidentiality regulations was beneficial and harmless to them, so he followed Peng Xun out.

Peng Xun's Peugeot 308S was parked at the door. After Peng Xun gave the key to someone, he asked Luo Yao to get in the car, and the person who took the key drove him home.

Huaji Industrial Park is only a 5-minute drive from Luzhou, and Luo Yao arrived home soon.

The parents were surprised to see Luo Yao come back so early.

"Yao'er, did you get off work early? This is not okay. Huaji Company has been so good to our family. You can't just rely on others to treat you well and just be willful."

When Luo Yao was in junior high school, he found it boring and often skipped class to go to the library or go home early.

Sun Xiulan saw that Luo Yao had returned at 17:10, and subconsciously thought that he had sneaked home again.

"Mom, the company car just brought me back. We get off work at five o'clock in the afternoon."

"Okay, then you sit down and Mom will prepare something delicious for you. Mom learned a new Dongcheng dish today called Yao Chicken. I will cook it for you today!"

"Thank you mom."

It was impossible for Luo Yao to sit still. He began to search the Internet for recent information about Dongcheng Semiconductor Alliance and Huaguo...

"Xiao Yao, is this the computer you bought? It looks so high-end!" While eating, Luo Zhu suddenly discovered that Luo Yao actually had a laptop, and took a curious look.

"The company issued it, do you need it?"

Luo Zhu waved her hands hurriedly: "Uncle Peng gave me a computer. I usually use it in class and I don't have to go out."

"Well, I will have time later and I can give you a lecture." Luo Yao actually didn't like to help others with their homework, except Luo Zhu.

"Thank you Xiaoyao, I'll give you this chicken leg."

With her younger brother Luo Yao here, Luo Zhu felt that all the hardships she had endured were worth it!

She secretly made up her mind to repeat her studies and strive to get into a good school.

This way he won't be a drag on Luo Yao.

……

the next day.Luo Yao was picked up by Rao Huiling to meet with people from Dongtou Group, the governing unit of the Semiconductor Alliance.

On the way, Luo Yao received a text message complaining from Wang Ye.

[Boss, what project are we participating in? We still need training today╥﹏╥]

[It seems that yesterday’s training was in vain. 】

Actually discussing laboratory matters in the text message, Luo Yao instantly felt that yesterday's training was not adequate, and asked Peng Xun to add another day of training time.

When they arrived at Dongtou Group, they met Yu Bei, the marketing president of Huaji, and several tall people. As soon as they met, someone came and took them into the conference room.

There were four or five people sitting in the conference room. One of them, a middle-aged man wearing glasses, stood up after seeing them and greeted:

"Hey, Mr. Rao, Mr. Yu, your Majesty is here. Come and sit down." The other party glanced at Luo Yao, thinking that Luo Yao was just an assistant or something like that, and ignored him.

"You two are here today for tea."

The man with glasses waited until the tea was served before he started talking about the business: "You said you have developed a full-process EDA?"

"Why? Aren't the three major software such as Synopsys used well now?"

"Why do you still spend so much time researching it yourself?"

Rao Huiling smiled slightly, already knowing that the other party would ask this question: "Mr. Lin, you should know that the Synopsys software has been unusable several times before, right?"

Mr. Lin thought about it and said, "I know, there is something wrong with Synopsys' account database."

"What about that time with Cadence?"

"It seems that there is a problem with the newly released version."

Rao Huiling shook her head and said: "But I went to investigate the use of corresponding software in other regions, and the same problems as ours did not occur."

"We judge that this is not a simple coincidence."

"Mr. Rao, you are too nervous. Tell me why Synopsys and Cadence don't allow us to use their software? Think about it, China has such a big market, don't they want to make money?"

"This is so confusing! Hahaha." Mr. Lin couldn't help laughing when he said this, and everyone in the conference room also laughed.

"Mr. Lin, we all understand the truth, but because of this, they know that we are completely dependent on them and cannot leave them."

"As long as EDA is stuck, our IC factory will not be able to design, and the chip factory will not be able to produce the design engineering documents without obtaining the design engineering documents. The entire chip industry will be affected." Yu Bei saw that the other party was not taking it seriously and quickly added.

Mr. Lin frowned and interrupted the other party: "How can it be so serious?"

"You are actually too worried."

"I just said, why do EDA manufacturers like Synopsys have EDA software stuck?"

"China accounted for 19% of Synopsys' revenue last year. How could they be willing to give up such a huge market?"

"Businessmen are all driven by profit. I don't understand why they want to get stuck in EDA software."

Rao Huiling looked at Yu Bei. Both of them knew that it would be difficult to convince the other party today. When they were thinking of a way, a voice suddenly came from beside them.

"What if it's for greater profit?"

Luo Yao was actually fooled by Mr. Lin. He originally didn't want to listen anymore, but in order to get Pangu EDA online quickly, he had no choice but to go out and do business.

“Bigger profits, what bigger profits are there?”

"Children, tell me." Mr. Lin found it ridiculous that a child actually told him that there were even greater profits that made Synopsys make the wrong choice. It was really ridiculous.

"Luo Yao..." Rao Huiling was afraid that Luo Yao would offend Mr. Lin, so she wanted to stop Luo Yao, but it was too late.

"Control of the entire chip industry chain."

Mr. Lin felt that he was alarmist and Luo Yao continued.

"Currently, Synopsys and other three major manufacturers account for three-quarters of the Blue Star market, and Hydropower Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., as Blue Star's largest foundry, also uses their design software, or in other words, only recognizes their software."

“Once a company brings engineering documents designed by other EDAs to SMC for processing, SMC will reject them.”

"This is the case for one foundry, what about others?"

"You might say that we can find other OEMs for processing. For the sake of money, there are always factories that are willing to process."

"But in fact, can these foundries that do not abide by the rules of the three major manufacturers such as Synopsys get the latest test data from the wafer factory?"

The ridicule at the corner of Mr. Lin's mouth subsided.

"the answer is negative."

"Because this data is integrated into Synopsys' EDA, the fabs rely on them to obtain user usage data, and it is impossible not to cooperate with them."

"This creates a situation where Synopsys' three leading EDA companies control the entire chip industry chain."

"You said that the three giants will not use technology for profit. This sentence is logically problematic. Profits can be large or small. Only by comparing the two can we choose the more important one."

"Using the EDA market's annual revenue of several billion dollars to control the chip industry's hundreds of billions of dollars, which side do you think is more profitable?"

"You should be able to calculate such a simple math problem, right?"
