My science and technology museum

Of course, it was impossible for Xu Lei to tell Lu Hongbo that he was developing chip design software. He was actually doing it to gain influence so that he could unlock new exhibits in the Science and Technology Museum.

However, he feels quite good about the title of Domestic Light.

So he simply followed Lu Hongbo's words and asked: "Then do you believe that our company can develop EDA software with better performance than overseas companies?"

"Of course I believe it."

After spending such a long time with Xu Lei, Lu Hongbo sincerely believed that his boss was a person who could create miracles, so he had no doubts about this question and gave an unequivocal answer.

But as soon as he finished speaking, some worry could not help but emerge in his heart.

I couldn't help but ask: "But Mr. Xu, will Warwick Technology really agree to our cooperation? Today's industry talents are the biggest reliance of technology companies."

"Do not worry."

"They have no better choice. Besides, Star Pupil and Magic Star Engine are enough to prove our strength." Xu Lei didn't take Lu Hongbo's worries to heart. He still looked calm and confident when he said this.

But no one noticed that when Xu Lei was talking about this matter with Lu Hongbo, Cheng Fei's eyes behind him gradually showed more admiration.

When Xu Lei and others went to the hotel to rest, Ren Yuanwei's thoughts in the reception room were still on the chip design software.

…

"Lao Peng, what do you think about this matter?"

Peng Qianqian was listening to the conversation between the two and wanted to interrupt more than once, but in the end he held it back for the time being.

Now that he heard Ren Yuanwei actively soliciting his opinions, he naturally spoke out his opinions without any hesitation.

"Chairman."

"Judging from the attitude and performance of the other party, it seems that they are really confident in developing chip design software with artificial intelligence and cloud technology. If they were really not sure, they would not fly to Shenzhen to discuss cooperation with us."

"We have tested the Phantom Star engine before, and the intelligent modules included in it are very sophisticated."

After listening to Peng Xiangqian's analysis, Ren Yuanwei's expression became more solemn.

After a slight hesitation, he did not make a decision directly. Instead, he asked Peng Qianqian another question.

"Lao Peng, do you think we should agree to the cooperation proposed by Future Technology?"

As the general director of the Warwick Strategic Research Institute, Peng Xiangqian and Ren Yuanwei have worked together for many years, so how could he not understand Ren Yuanwei's work style?

It seemed that he was asking himself, but in fact Ren Yuanwei probably already had the answer in his heart.

Therefore, he would not really make a decision for Ren Yuanwei, but would fulfill his duty and explain all the pros and cons of the matter clearly.

How to choose depends on which aspect Ren Yuanwei prefers.

"Chairman, although we have invested a lot in talent reserves over the years, we still cannot meet the gaps in related industries. If Future Technology is allowed to pick this peach, I am afraid that the progress of many of the company's projects will be affected in the second half of the year."

"If we are unable to develop this domestic chip design software in the end, then we..."

Peng Xiangqian didn't speak clearly because he knew that Ren Yuanwei had already made a decision in his heart.

really.

Just as he finished speaking, Ren Yuanwei's somewhat hoarse voice sounded in the reception room.

"Lao Peng, we need to warn you about Zhongxing."

"It is absolutely impossible for us in Warwick to voluntarily admit our mistakes and pay fines to those gringos because of our technological monopoly."

"Now we still have too many shortcomings."

"Even if there is hope of solving one of them first, you shouldn't let it go."

"Since we cannot develop mature chip design software ourselves in a short period of time, it may be a good choice to invest our talents in more suitable places."

Ren Yuanwei knows it very well.

After what happened at Zhongxing, Warwick is likely to be the next one to face this situation.

If you want to avoid losing territory and paying compensation like Vitex, you must have a complete set of domestic high-end chip production lines, even if this will cause the company to break its muscles and bones.

At present, they are stepping up efforts to conquer the mobile phone operating system that they have already laid out. They have also established a cooperation with the Chinese Academy of Sciences to develop high-end lithography machines.

But chip design software has to be said to be a weakness.

Based on the current company situation alone, it has been difficult to make effective progress in recent years.

Not to mention breaking away from the traditional algorithm architecture and taking a new route of artificial intelligence plus cloud technology.

Faced with this situation, it would be absolutely exciting if Future Technology can really develop mature intelligent chip design software in the short term through its research in the field of artificial intelligence.

Moreover, the Magic Star Engine, which previously broke the monopoly of overseas technology, has at least proven the level of artificial intelligence in future technology, and is worth taking a bold gamble.

After hearing these words, how could Peng Xiangqian not understand what Ren Yuanwei meant? He immediately replied in a deep voice: "It's the chairman. I know what to do."

"I will handle the board of directors matters, and you will handle the personnel communication."

"OK."

After getting the accurate answer, Peng Xiangqian nodded without hesitation and prepared to turn around and leave to carry out the task.

But as soon as he took a step, Ren Yuanwei's voice came to his ears again.

"And one more thing."

"We will provide 100,000 servers from the five major data centers in China that we planned to deploy in the early stage for future technology. We cannot tolerate failure this time."

When Peng Xiangqian heard this number, even though he knew that Ren Yuanwei was going to focus on future technology this time, he couldn't help but be surprised.

I didn't expect that the intensity this time would be so great.

After all, the five major data centers that Warwick will build in China are relatively important layouts. The largest one is enough to ensure the operation of millions of servers. Although it is currently only using 100,000 of them to provide computing power for future technologies, if it is transmitted If it goes out, I believe it will definitely shock the industry.

But in the end, Peng Xiangqian didn't raise any objections, he still nodded in response and walked away.

…

Although Xu Lei was relatively confident that he could reach cooperation with Warwick during this trip, he was still surprised by their execution ability.

Almost the next morning, he received a positive reply from Warwick.

Finally, after careful discussion and research from all aspects, the two parties officially announced their cooperation. Warwick Technology will provide talents and servers for future technology to develop chip design software.

Future Technology agreed to license mature macro modules of chips for use by Warwick free of charge and charge 3% of chip sales as royalties.

certainly.

This collaboration is based on Future Technology's ability to successfully develop chip design software.

Otherwise, Future Technology will still have to pay for the server.

As for whether the talents can return to Warwick, it all depends on their personal wishes. The main reason is that since they are working in future technology, they must re-sign the labor contract, which has nothing to do with Warwick.

Thanks to v5 for the 500 points reward!
