The big leader personally took people to visit the Xinghuo Electronics Factory.
Cao Weidong took the senior leaders to visit the Xinghuo Electronics Factory. The senior leaders were full of praise for the development of the electronics factory.
After walking around, everyone returned to the office and administration building and sat down in the reception room.
At this time, the big leader motioned for others to leave.
Cao Weidong knew that the big leader had something important to tell him, so he straightened his back subconsciously.
Sure enough, the big leader explained his intention.
The research on lithography machines invested by Cao Weidong has made a breakthrough.
China has successfully manufactured the world's first immersion lithography machine and has taped out a batch of 22nm chips with a very good yield rate.
In other words, Shenzhou lithography machines already have commercial value.
"22 nanometers?"
Cao Weidong's breathing suddenly became heavier.
He knows the meaning of this number.
In the original timeline, global chip giant Intel released the 22nm process in 2011, and it was only the 1990s.
In other words, China’s photolithography machine technology is twenty years ahead of the world!
"The domestic lithography machine technology foundation is strong and there are many technical talents. With your promotion, our lithography machine technology has led the world... This is not just because we are stuck.
It’s because we’re blocking someone else’s neck…”
Cao Weidong nodded.
Although China lags behind in the development of photolithography machines, it has never given up. It is one of the few countries in the world with independent scientific research capabilities. However, it was later influenced by the ideological trend that it is better to buy than to make, and it went astray and abandoned its martial arts.
However, now, the domestic Spark EDA has been launched and has caught up with the world level in just a few years. It has also provided the idea of immersion lithography machine technology and provided a large amount of financial support to help the lithography machine research project survive the initial period.
difficult.
Now it's finally time to harvest.
"The breakthrough of 22 nanometers is a matter of course. I heard researchers say that it can even be pushed further... It seems that everything has become easier."
"What to do next, you have two choices."
Next, the big leader gave Cao Weidong two choices.
Should we announce this explosive news or should we keep a low profile?
If the announcement is made immediately, the big leader's intention is to push out Xinghuo Electronics Factory and announce the news in the name of Xinghuo Electronics Factory.
By then, Xinghuo Electronics Factory will inevitably be involved in sanctions from major powers, and the consequences will be unpredictable.
If you don't announce it, you can continue to carry out research and development, quietly accumulate strength, and then announce it when the time is right and you are fully prepared.
"It must be announced immediately!"
Cao Weidong made a decision immediately.
Anyway, Xinghuo Electronics Factory is about to face sanctions from the International EDA Software Alliance.
As the saying goes, if you have too many debts, you don’t have to worry; if you have too many lice, you don’t have to itch.
Cao Weidong was quite single about this.
The big leader laughed.
"Aren't you afraid?"
Cao Weidong said.
"I'm afraid, but in many cases it doesn't mean you don't have to do it because you're afraid. Someone has to take the lead and fire the first shot."
"Besides, most of Spark's business is domestic. In the Chinese market, foreign countries can't do anything to us. As for those foreign markets, we don't need them at all. Anyway, after the sanctions, foreign markets will inevitably be hit. We have created an open source community
, just disgusting and disgusting to those foreigners.”
"In addition, I have another idea, and since I have decided to announce the news about the lithography machine, why not play a big one and give foreigners a little shock to China."
The big leader asked in confusion.
"Oh, what is it?"
Cao Weidong expressed his sudden thoughts.
The big leader's eyes lit up.
"This is a good idea. I'll do it as you said. As for the time of announcement..."
"I suggest the announcement be made on the 15th of next month."
Cao Weidong boldly made a suggestion.
The big leader was puzzled.
"Oh, why is it placed on the 15th? Does it have any special meaning?"
Cao Weidong chuckled.
"I have heard that the International EDA Chip Alliance plans to hold a press conference on the 15th of next month to officially announce sanctions on Xinghuo Electronics Factory and restrict domestic and international manufacturers from cooperating with Xinghuo Electronics Factory."
The big leader nodded and smiled.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
After leaving Xinghuo Electronics Factory, the senior leader got into a special car, and the man in the Chinese tunic suit in the car asked curiously.
"Big leader, has he agreed?"
The big leader smiled.
"Yes, not only did I agree, I also made a very good suggestion. I'm very satisfied."
"You must take this matter seriously next, coordinate all forces, and make sure this thing is done well."
The man in Mao suit straightened his back and said solemnly.
"Yes, I will never betray the trust of my leader."
The big leader smiled and waved his hand, turned to look out the car window, looked at the bustling crowd outside, and couldn't help but sigh.
"The boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains."
.......
time flies.
June 15th has arrived in the blink of an eye.
As a director of Cadence and the first president of the International EDA Chip Alliance, Gehrman Hogg came to the press conference early in the morning.
In two hours, he will be here, facing reporters from all over the world, to announce an important announcement.
Several of their national EDA company giants will jointly launch a new set of EDA chip design formats to standardize EDA software applications.
He believes that this is the most important announcement since the birth of EDA chip design software.
By the way, Xinghuo Electronics Factory from China and their Xinghuo EDA software will be kicked out of the alliance and become the first software company in the world to be sanctioned.
Standing on the podium and reading the speech script in his hand again, Hermann Hogg was very ambitious.
"President."
Secretary Dan trotted over, the greatness on his chest rising and falling.
Gehrman looked at it greedily.
Dan was originally an employee of Cadence Company. Because this girl had a beautiful face, he did everything possible to transfer Dan to be his work secretary.
Of course, he finally realized the corrupt life of being a secretary when he had something to do, and being a secretary when nothing happened.
As his thoughts turned, Dan finally ran to Gehrman.
If there weren't so many people here, he would have stretched out his hand...
Trying to maintain his personality, Hermann asked in a gentle tone.
"what happened?"
"Spark has switched to open source EDA, the notice was just issued yesterday."
Dan spoke quickly about the report he received.
"What?"
Hermann suddenly stood up from his chair and his tone of voice rose a few degrees.
Seeing the confused looks from around him, Hermann sat down again.
Spark actually switched to open source EDA.
This gave him a feeling of frustration, as if he was attacking with all his strength, but hitting the cotton with no effect.
After pondering for a moment, he said.
"Okay, I get it."
In any case, this press conference has been prepared for a long time and it is absolutely impossible to cancel or change it.
Moreover, the purpose of this sanction was to kick Spark out of the EDA software market. Even if the other party switched to open source, he could continue to impose sanctions, but the effect was not as great as expected.
As time passed, it was finally time to hold a press conference, and reporters from many countries entered the venue one after another.
After going through the entire process, Herman announced the scheduled content according to the speech prepared in advance.
It's just that because Spark is doing open source EDA, Gelman always feels that the content of his speech is dry.
"I announce that Spark EDA from China is not in the alliance and cannot update the new storage format we formulated."
"In addition, in order to ensure the security of the chip industry, we prohibit all chip manufacturers from cooperating with chip design companies that use older storage formats. This decision is the result of consensus between the International EDA Chip Alliance and chip manufacturers such as Intel, IBM, and Texas Instruments."
As he was talking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the scene.
