After confirming the time for the visit with Secretary Huang who was recuperating in the sanatorium, Cao Weidong sat back on his chair and called up the long-lost Wanjie Mall.
He's going to cheat.
Open the search panel and Cao Weidong enters EDA software in the search column.
In an instant, dozens of EDA software appeared in Cao Weidong's field of vision.
These software can all be used for chip design, and are arranged in order from low to high according to performance.
The stronger the performance, the higher the exchange price of EDA chip design software, and the lower the performance, the lower the exchange price.
Cao Weidong glanced at the function introductions of each EDA chip design software and began to think.
EDA is known as the mother of chip design and plays a decisive role in chip manufacturing.
However, this is also a completely monopolized technology!
Even Western countries have tightened our necks in EDA, forcing many top manufacturers to use software that is two or three generations behind foreign countries for chip development and design, and some manufacturers have even been forced to stop new product development.
According to Cao Weidong's thinking, it is natural to choose the top EDA chip design software.
He fell in love with an EDA chip design software called Spark, which is powerful enough to design 1-nanometer chips and some optical quantum chips.
Although this EDA is a future technology, and the shopping points required are enough to be calculated in astronomical figures, Cao Weidong has accumulated shopping points over the years, and he has enough capital and confidence to win this set of EDA chip design software.
After thinking carefully for a while, Cao Weidong still rejected this somewhat tempting idea.
First, EDA is chip design software and is only the first step in chip production.
The follow-up process includes chip production, packaging and other processes. Even if he exchanges this EDA chip design software and puts it into production, I am afraid that it will be difficult to generate equivalent value within a certain period of time in the future.
Secondly, if I really come up with such technology, the military will probably treat me to tea.
"Forget it, let's upgrade with the chip industry chain later."
Cao Weidong quickly made up his mind.
Then he chose an EDA software that was three to five years ahead of the current world EDA chip design.
Although this software can only design 28-nanometer chips, it is sufficient for the domestic market.
After confirming his idea, Cao Weidong quickly chose to exchange.
In an instant, a soft flow of information slowly poured into his mind, and all the core technologies of this EDA chip design software from underlying design to packaging were gradually clearly presented.
Cao Weidong closed the shopping panel, sat on the stool in a daze, narrowed his eyes, and the corresponding knowledge emerged in an instant.
"It turns out this is the feeling of exchanging knowledge. It's amazing."
This knowledge entered his mind in a rather strange way, and he will never forget it.
"That's good. At least I won't forget it. It also means that I have completely mastered this technology, but there are so many codes..."
Cao Weidong had a headache as he recalled the code, line after line, like a heavenly book.
Do you still have to type code yourself?
This is too unassuming.
Forget it, let's explore with Secretary Huang to see where we can recruit a group of experts and scholars, and then instruct them to do their work. I only need to provide key information by the side.
With this in mind, Cao Weidong closed his eyes and thought for a while, feeling that this matter was quite feasible.
After sitting on the chair and repeatedly confirming that he would not forget this knowledge, Cao Weidong quickly packed up the message and went to the rest house to meet with Secretary Huang.
Along the way, he had already thought of his words.
I plan to spend a sum of money to invest in the construction of the semiconductor industry and tackle the development of EDA chip design software.
After sorting out what he wanted to do, he arrived at the gate of the Qianxiu Meeting. Cao Weidong went forward to negotiate and successfully met Secretary Huang.
The two of them were old friends who had known each other for many years and were quite familiar with each other, so Cao Weidong told Secretary Huang about his plan to invest in an electronics factory and make domestic chips.
Although Secretary Huang has retired in recent years, he still has a high level of political and ideological awareness. He has been reading newspapers and paying attention to national affairs. In addition, he occasionally communicates with old friends, and he also knows something about chips.
But he sighed and persuaded sincerely.
"Weidong, I understand your feelings, but the chip industry is not as simple as you think. It is a bottomless pit."
"Over the years, the country has organized several seminars and devoted a lot of resources, but there are still no results. What results can you achieve by yourself?"
Cao Weidong explained quickly.
"Secretary Huang, I have money, but I just want you to help introduce me. I want to talk to the leaders of the Ministry of Science and Technology to see if I can get support from the Ministry of Science and Technology."
"You have money, how much money do you plan to invest?" Secretary Huang picked up the tea and asked casually.
Cao Weidong thought for a while and said.
"About one billion. This is just an initial investment. Additional investments will be made later depending on the situation."
puff!
Secretary Huang spit out the tea he just drank in one gulp.
He ignored the surprise and confirmed again.
Cao Weidong nodded and affirmed again.
"That's right, it's one billion."
After a pause, Cao Weidong continued to add: "Also, when I was traveling overseas a while ago, I accidentally came into contact with a set of EDG chip design software that is at the forefront of the world, and I operated it myself. It has a profound memory."
"Although I don't understand technology, I can provide a lot of inspiration based on my memory."
Secretary Huang suddenly stood up.
"You wait for me here, I'll call Zhu Feng over."
Zhu Feng is the head of the Electronic Information Products Management Department of the Ministry of Science and Technology. When he saw Secretary Huang approaching, he immediately stood up and said respectfully.
"Old secretary, what kind of wind brought you here?"
Secretary Huang said with a smile: "Of course it's a good thing. Come with me quickly."
Zhu Feng was a little confused and said in confusion.
"Old secretary, what good thing are you talking about?"
Secretary Huang's voice turned lower.
"Isn't a billion investment a good thing?"
Zhu Feng's eyes lit up and he said immediately.
"Of course, if you give me one billion, I can completely solve several high-tech projects that I am responsible for."
"Old Secretary, what exactly is going on? Please tell me in detail."
He knew that it was impossible for the country to allocate so much funds to him for free. After all, the Ministry of Science and Technology was not only a semiconductor field, but also many fields that required massive financial support.
Secretary Huang briefly said a few words about Cao Weidong.
Zhu Feng's eyes lit up and he said.
"Old secretary, I will accompany you over and have a chat with Cao Weidong, but before that, you ask me to call some experts over."
Secretary Huang was puzzled.
"What are you calling the experts for at this time?"
Zhu Feng waved his hand helplessly.
"You see, we don't understand the technical issues, so we need experts to follow us and help us identify the authenticity."
