However, Lu Yan said that he had no time to return to Bincheng for the time being, citing his busy work schedule.
The latter immediately said that the city could send someone to the capital to interview him.
Local departments are sometimes very proactive in securing important projects.
For example, if a Fortune 500 company in the world says it wants to settle in a certain area in China, many local cities will actively fight for it.
Because this is not only related to political performance and GDP, but also to people’s livelihood and employment!
In fact, not only Bincheng, but also Jinling, the provincial capital of "Su Daqiang", heard that Lu Yan was interested in setting up an EDA software company.
There were also calls from officials who were familiar with Lu Yan in the past, hoping that Lu Yan would locate his company in Jinling.
He has repeatedly said that land, taxes, subsidies, everything is easy to deal with, as long as you locate your company in a high-tech development zone.
If someone else wanted to enter the field of EDA software, the leaders of Jinling City might not take it seriously.
But Lu Yan is different. Meituan Group Buying is the world's first group buying website in this time and space. China Mobile is now very popular in the field of smartphones and has become a star company in Jinling City.
But these two, in fact, have average weight in the eyes of city leaders because they cannot be called high-precision industries.
In fact, even if in another time and space, the domestic Internet industry exploded and reached a leading position in the world, it would still be mostly in the service sector.
In the high-tech field, China actually still has a long way to go, otherwise it would not be stuck repeatedly.
In terms of chip design, the success of Shenlong 920 can only be regarded as a small step, but it is an inspiring step.
If Lu Yan can make further achievements in the field of EDA software, the domestic chip industry will take another solid step!
If another chip manufacturing factory is located in the future, the semiconductor industry in Jinling City will usher in great development!
The city leaders took it very seriously and sent a team as quickly as possible to the capital for talks with Lu Yan.
When it comes to Sanjiang City, we are not worried about the possibility of such a good project being intercepted.
When Lu Yan returned to Beijing, someone from the investment promotion office was sent to accompany him all the way, and the task continued until the day the project was launched.
During this period, I also witnessed Lu Yan’s amazing ability to “poach”.
The key to setting up a company is nothing more than funds and manpower.
Funding is easy to come by, Lu Yan himself has a lot of money on hand.
For example, if you have just received undisposed endorsement fees, Kweichow Moutai stocks, etc., you can also ask China Electronics to invest some.
The slightly more troublesome thing is manpower, as estimated by an industry expert in 2019, another time and space.
There are about 1,500 people doing EDA R&D in China, of which about 1,200 work in the China R&D centers of international EDA companies. There are only about 300 people who actually do R&D for local EDA.
This is the number of personnel from many domestic EDA companies, universities and research institutes combined.
The world's largest EDA company has approximately 7,000 R&D personnel, of which more than 5,000 are engaged in EDA tools.
The main reason behind the lack of talent is insufficient investment.
Huada Jiutian, a well-known company in the industry, has been established for nearly ten years with a total investment of less than 500 million yuan, while "the world's largest EDA company invests 500 million a month and 1.1 billion US dollars a year."
Lu Yan naturally cannot compare with foreign giants.
But his initial investment in the company is 300 million yuan, and he guarantees that the annual income from advertising endorsements and other expenses will be invested in his EDA research and development company.
In this way, in terms of capital investment, this high-tech company, which has not yet been officially born, has suddenly reached the forefront of the domestic industry in terms of research and development funds.
Putting aside the financial advantage, Lu Yan has more advantages than other companies, and it also has the customer advantage of Kunlun Chip.
As for the shortcomings, they are still difficult to solve in a while.
Such as the problem of insufficient tools and weak integration with advanced technology.
In terms of integration with processes, the three major EDA companies have natural advantages. They cooperate with wafer manufacturers in the new process development stage and have a good understanding of the process. In turn, they can better improve tools to support advanced processes.
Domestic EDA manufacturers can only obtain part of the data after the process is developed.
In addition, an important support for the combination of EDA tools and processes is the process design kit (PDK). As a complete set of basic support environments for tool-based process development, PDK includes device models, structures, design rule checks and libraries, etc. The development is very complex.
Requires greater investment...
In general, the new company Lu Yan is about to establish has financial and customer advantages. As for the difficulties that other domestic EDA companies have to face, this new company also has many difficulties.
But after Lu Yan offered a high salary, he still managed to recruit nearly 100 EDA talents from the international EDA company's R&D center in China in a short period of time.
This made the three international EDA companies very dissatisfied.
Synopsys of the United States, Ce of the United States and Mentraphics, a subsidiary of Siemens, three EDA giants, jointly sent a letter to Kunlun Chip Company. In view of Lu Yan's behavior, these three companies will consider canceling their cooperation with Kunlun Chip Company in the next year.
Such a move really caught Kunlun Chip and China Technology off guard.
Rebus hurriedly called, hoping that Lu Yan could keep a low profile. Furthermore, he invited the representatives of the three companies in China to come out and have a good chat.
After all, the current Kunlun chip relies heavily on the EDA software provided by those three companies.
Furthermore, even if the supply continues until then, the price increase cannot be tolerated!
The EDA tools sold by EDA companies to downstream customers are actually certificates (lise), just like the registration code used when using the Windows operating system or office software and other application software, but this registration code is basically
Sky-high price.
In another time and space, at the end of 2014, Huawei spent US$30 million in one go to obtain a certificate from Kaideng Electronic Technology.
If you are not strong enough, you really can’t afford it.
Sometimes people will act like they don't want to sell you, just to bully you that you have no replacement.
Lu Yan was able to redeem the EDA software technology code in his self-improvement system, the Tianyou module.
But it also takes time to "develop" something that he knows in his mind through the scientific research team.
If someone gets stuck during this period, it will delay the development of Kunlun chips.
He immediately said: "Well, just watch and talk to them. I won't come forward to prevent the situation from getting out of control. The only principle is to appease and deceive them and delay time!"
Rebus was surprised, "You don't really think that a replacement can be found in a short while!"
Lu Yan smiled: "That's not certain, okay, they are looking for me again, so let's not talk anymore!"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yan went to see the team leaders from Bincheng and Sanjiang City.
Speaking of this incident, the province was alarmed, and the latter also preferred Lu Yan to set up his company in Bincheng.
