After drinking the big bowl of tea that was full of tea foam, Chen Hao arranged for the staff to take Ye Lan to school to deal with thesis and graduation matters, while Ye Zhou rushed to the micro-fusion without stopping.

He has not appeared in the company for nearly a month and a half. All approvals and decisions have been delegated to the CFO. Although Chen Hao has already said hello to Hua Ji, it is not a problem if it lasts for a long time. Ye Zhou wants to do it once

Arrange everything.

This company will become an important source of funds for his actual research and development in the future. It is definitely impossible to give up. Since he cannot give up, he must first design an efficient decision-making system and only make decisions on key matters to avoid being involved too much.

energy.

After arriving at Micro Fusion, the receptionist at the door stood up in surprise as soon as he saw him.

"Mr. Ye! You are back!"

"...don't call me boss, don't call me boss. Where are the others? Are they all here?"

"They are all here! The company has a lot of orders these days, and everyone is processing them in the office. I will help you notify them!"

As he spoke, the receptionist stood up, opened the door for Ye Zhou, and then led him into his office.

"Mr. Ye, do you want some tea? I'll ask the administrator to make you a cup of tea first?"

"No, no, please call Yu Lixiang and Zhao Wensheng over, yes, and Zhou Fuyuan, I want to discuss something with them."

"Okay, please wait for five minutes."

As he spoke, the front desk turned around and left. Ye Zhou touched the spotless desk. It seemed that the office had not been abandoned during his absence.

At least someone is cleaning it.

A few minutes later, several executives from Micro Fusion all gathered in Ye Zhou's office. They had already known about the Zhi micro lithography machine. At this time, the expression they looked at Ye Zhou was no longer the same.

That kind of simple admiration even has a hint of awe.

This is actually not difficult to understand. In just two months, first the top-level EDA, and then the 5nm level lithography machine. For them, the man in front of them can no longer be described as a genius.

Even if it is said that he is an unprecedented pioneer in the domestic chip field, it is not an exaggeration at all.

Before Ye Zhou could speak, Zhou Fuyuan spoke first:

"Mr. Ye, we have all read the news. We have also received some official breaks internally before. I have never dared to disturb you before. Now that you are here, I want to say to you from the bottom of my heart, thank you!"

"Thank me for what..."

“Thank you for sure!”

Zhao Wensheng, who was in charge of software delivery, immediately interrupted Ye Zhou's polite remarks.

"Mr. Ye, I believe anyone with a reasonable mind can understand the significance of what you have done. Not only for our company, but also for the entire industry and our country, your contribution is worthy of a thank you from us practitioners.

."

"Don't be polite. Although you are younger than us, but we have heard of each other, so it's really not too much for us to say thank you!"

"We originally planned to prepare some gifts for you, but after thinking about it for a long time, we couldn't think of anything worthy of it, so we might as well not do all this nonsense."

"Fuyuan has already applied with the company, and we will prepare an additional bonus package for you later, which is a little bit of our appreciation."

Ye Zhou waved his hand and answered:

"I'm not short of money right now, I'm short of people. By the way, I've called you here to discuss this matter. I plan to see if there are any suitable talents in Huaji, and I want one or two to work in my research institute. You guys

Please help me keep an eye on it, and if there is anything suitable, let me know in time."

Ye Zhou had already made the requirements for the personnel he needed in advance, mainly the general affairs officers whom he had discussed with Ye Lan before, and some senior researchers in materials science.

Although Huaji is a communications company, it does have a lot of talent reserves in materials science. Their genius youth program even spent tens of millions to recruit two of the country's top materials engineers. If they could recruit them all,

It can be used in future engine material research.

After the paper documents requested by the personnel were sent to everyone, Ye Zhou continued:

"Recruiting is the first thing. There is another thing. I want to know how the company is currently operating. After all, I haven't been here for more than a month. How is the situation?"

Speaking of which, Yu Lixiang, who is in charge of sales, replied:

"The company's business has been going very smoothly recently - it should be said that the business volume has exploded. In the past month or so, in addition to the initial orders from a series of companies such as Huaxin and Ziguang, we have also received orders after the release of Zhiwei.

Hundreds of inquiries arrived.”

"More than 200 of these inquiries have reached purchase intentions, and nearly 30 of them have completed contract signing."

"so little?"

Ye Zhou frowned.

According to the information he received, major foreign EDA manufacturers have generally started a strategy of price reduction competition after receiving the news released by Zhiwei. If they want to seize the opportunity, domestic manufacturers are still hesitant and have a wait-and-see attitude due to the learning cost of new software.

the only window period.

If they are allowed to take the lead, the application process of Yinglong EDA will be greatly slowed down, and may even affect the subsequent promotion of microlithography machines.

After all, Yinglong EDA and Zhiwei lithography machines have always been of the same origin, and the two have the best compatibility. Once chip design manufacturers use other EDAs, Zhiwei's processing difficulty will also increase.

Although the increase may not be large, in such a fiercely competitive market, a small difference may lead to serious consequences.

"Mr. Ye, it's like this. Our sales process is relatively strict. It requires pre-sales reviews, budget estimates, decision-making... All aspects of the action take a long time. In addition, price negotiations will also be delayed.

time, so the number of signed orders is not large.”

"...Isn't this nonsense? Nowadays, foreign companies compete with us because of the time difference. If good opportunities are missed again because of this problem, who can afford this responsibility?"

Ye Zhou said angrily.

Huaqi's internal control system was learned from IBM at a huge expense. Although this system is very effective during normal operation, it seems a little inflexible when faced with such emergencies.

No one answered, and Ye Zhou continued:

"Listen to me, start canceling all redundant processes now. There is no need to make budget estimates. Our software costs are very low, and there is no need to consider profitability at all."

"In addition, the most important thing at this stage is not profit, but the market."

"The opponent is already accelerating. What we have to do is not to be stable, but to be fast! As long as there is no risk of collapse in the process, we will continue to execute it regardless of the cost!"

"Didn't you say that we have more than 200 purchase intentions now? These companies must also be in contact with overseas manufacturers. We should not give them the opportunity to hesitate. No matter what strategy you use, whether it is cutting prices, sending training, sending maintenance, or anything else

What kind of off-market move, in short, all contracts must be signed before tomorrow!"

"The temporary losses are not important at all, we can afford it! As long as the market is won, there will be plenty of time to consider profits in the future!"

After listening to Ye Zhou's words, several people in the conference room looked at each other and then nodded firmly.

"Understood, Mr. Ye, we will deliver all the contracts to your desk before noon tomorrow!"
