Rebirth 2010: I add some points to be a boss

Chapter 176 One billion Chinese coins is not enough, then one billion US dollars!

The next day.

Yancheng University.

"Mr. Chen, please come in."

Dr. Wang Zhihong said with a smile, about 50 years old, with gray temples, wearing a dark suit, looks hale and hearty.

"Excuse me, Professor Wang."

Chen Heyu looked around the spacious and bright office. The bookshelves were full of various technical books, and there were professor Wang's photos and honorary certificates on one wall.

Only then did he know that Wang Zhihong is an honorary professor of Yancheng University, and he would spend some time every year to give lectures in Yancheng.

"Mr. Zhang mentioned your purpose of coming here on the phone. I didn't expect that Mr. Chen would be willing to devote himself to the domestic chip manufacturing industry at a young age. This old guy like me is a little ashamed."

Wang Zhihong sat on a chair, pushed his black-rimmed glasses, and said in a heavy tone as if thinking of something.

"Isn't it better to be young? There must always be some people who overcome difficulties, so that the next generation will have a better path.

Professor Wang resigned from Synopsys and resolutely chose to return to China to promote the development of the EDA industry, which also aroused the respect of the younger generation. "

Chen Heyu smiled lightly, and sent rainbow farts free of money.

It is precisely because of a large wave of technology giants like Wang Zhihong that we can develop a semiconductor market with an annual output value of 3000 billion on the basis of being poor and blank.

Although compared with the global chip manufacturing industry, it is still in the middle and low-end industrial chain, accounting for only 14% of the market share, but it is not easy.

"If it were another person, I would still suspect that the other party was trying to cheat for subsidies, but Mr. Chen is different. I believe you."

Wang Zhihong's eyes lit up, full of confidence.

He has done research on future technology. A company that is willing to invest a lot of money and manpower in software research and development will definitely not put on a show for tens of millions of subsidies.

"Thank you, Professor Wang, for your love. This road is not easy to walk, and you can't do without the help of the old seniors. Don't you want to come here?"

Chen Heyu laughed.

The reason for the visit is that Future Technology is going to enter the field of chip design, and it is looking for Professor Wang to "borrow" some talents.

"I have a student who is very talented in EDA design. If you are interested, I can recommend him to you."

Wang Zhihong thought for a while and said.

"Don't worry, if it's convenient for Professor Wang, can you treat me as a student and introduce the core technology of EDA?"

Chen Heyu went straight to the point, planning to record the skills first.

"EDA is a tool that uses computers to aid electronic design, which involves circuit simulation, layout and routing, logic simulation, formal verification and high-level synthesis techniques.

For example, formal verification is to analyze and verify the correctness of circuits through logical and mathematical methods.

This technology can greatly reduce the design error rate and improve the reliability and stability of the circuit..."

Wang Zhihong smiled and did not refuse. When talking about his major, he spoke clearly and logically.

"How to improve the efficiency of RTL design?"

Hearing the system prompt, Chen Heyu silently added some upgrades. After upgrading the EDA technology to LV MAX, a professional question popped up in his mind.

"Oh? Mr. Chen, I now believe that you have done your homework.

RTL design is a very important link, and it is also a core part of the chip design process.

For this reason, I am also doing research in this area recently, we can discuss this issue together, why not talk about your understanding first? "

Wang Zhihong looked at Chen Heyu with a hint of excitement on his face.

"Generally speaking, reasonable layering or using off-the-shelf IP cores can optimize design performance and power consumption.

Most of the EDA companies in the beautiful country adopt a modular design scheme, splitting the circuit design into multiple reusable modules, which is convenient for unit testing and integration, thereby improving efficiency. "

Chen Heyu replied immediately.

"The methods you mentioned basically agree with my views. In practice, most engineers will also use these solutions.

In addition, using automated tools to complete RTL design is also an important way to improve efficiency. "

Wang Zhihong added.

"Professor Wang, is it possible to let artificial intelligence replace researchers, generate codes, script tools, and perform wiring?"

Chen Heyu had a flash of inspiration and sought proof.

"Can Moss do it?"

Wang Zhihong asked back.

"Moss has the ability to automatically generate and fix bugs when dealing with basic code."

Chen Heyu thought for a few seconds before slowly answering.

Regarding this point, he did not tell the truth. In fact, the evolution of Moss is very fast. The internal engineers of the company are already using Moss to build the system framework and fill in the core code.

He must be on guard, once this news is announced, it will definitely cause a big earthquake on the Internet!
95% of programmer jobs will cease to exist because Moss is a perfect replacement.

"That's no problem. From a technical perspective, it should be possible."

Wang Zhihong didn't see the clue, nodded and replied.

After Chen Heyu got the core technology, he put down the big stone in his heart, and continued to communicate in depth in the following time.

"Mr. Chen is a student of HKUST? Are you interested in my postgraduate study?"

The more Wang Zhihong chatted, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help but cherish his talents.

"Professor Wang, reading is still unnecessary. I prefer to apply technology to the industrial field and develop the world's most advanced EDA service software. This is my goal."

Chen Heyu shook his head and directly refused.

"What help do you need? I have resources available to do what I can."

Wang Zhihong said seriously, during the conversation, he saw the hope of the rise of Huaguo chips in Chen Heyu.

"Professor Wang, you have already provided help."

Chen Heyu pointed out something.

"In other respects, if Professor Wang's students intend to join future technology, they will be treated favorably."

He added with a smile, reciprocating.

"Wait a while, I'll call the best students over."

Wang Zhihong made up his mind.

"Hong Jun, come to my office, right away!"

Professor Wang said eagerly.

"Yes, Teacher Wang."

There was a very young voice on the other end of the phone.

Putting down the phone, Wang Zhihong explained to Chen Heyu: "Hong Jun is my PhD student, and his ability level is not inferior to mine."

"Then I want to meet this genius!"

Chen Heyu smiled slightly, pretending to be excited.

I was a little suspicious. Wang Zhihong is a leading EDA figure in China. No matter how outstanding his students are, they still can't escape the academic rut.

But when the other party said this, he naturally wanted to give some face. No matter how capable he was, he would accept it first and then talk about it. It was regarded as a reward for "providing skills" to the other party.

After a while, there was a "dong dong dong" knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

Wang Zhihong said.

A tall and strong young man pushed the door and entered. He looked less than 30 years old, with short cropped hair and round cheeks.

"Teacher, are you looking for me?"

"This is Chen Heyu, the boss of Future Technology. He plans to enter the EDA industry. I plan to recommend you to assist Mr. Chen."

Wang Zhihong said slowly.

future technology? !
Isn't that a technology company doing artificial intelligence?Has a hammer relationship with chip design?

Hong Jun was puzzled, but since it was the teacher who spoke, it was hard for him to refute.

"Mr. Chen, do you know what the annual R&D budget of EDA company is?"

He was silent for a moment, then turned his head and tortured him.

"Doubt my strength? In the field of artificial intelligence, Future Technology employs thousands of researchers and data scientists, as well as a large number of trainers. The salary alone costs 10 billion Chinese dollars a year.

That's it, without counting the cost of hardware equipment,

In the field of chip design, I can still invest the second 10 billion Chinese dollars, if not enough, then 10 billion US dollars! "

Seeing the other party's expression, Chen Heyu understood that the future technology was underestimated by him, and immediately said arrogantly.

A world-class EDA software company has an annual sales of more than US$30 billion, and R&D costs account for about 30%.

Chen Heyu dared to promise 10 billion US dollars in funding, which is enough to show his determination in software development!
Hong Jun was dumbfounded. He looked at his mentor and saw that he nodded slightly. He understood that Chen Heyu and the future technology behind him really had the corresponding strength.

"Fuck! Artificial intelligence makes money so much?"

He thought wildly in his mind, and the expression on his face softened.

"Mr. Chen is also an expert in the EDA field. You follow him, hoping to apply what you have learned."

Wang Zhihong exhorted.

Hong Jun nodded and agreed.

"Mr. Hong, welcome to join. The research room has been set up. High-performance computers, high-resolution monitors, CAD tools and testing equipment are all available. If you lack any tools, after you officially join the job, make a list and hand it over to the Resources Department directly. Just buy it."

Chen Heyu said with a smile.

"Thank you Mr. Chen for your trust."

Hong Jun was stunned, and his heart itch was unbearably irritated by his series of rhetoric. To develop EDA tools, the more powerful the computer and peripheral equipment, the better the quality and stability of software development can be ensured.

Chen Heyu's conditions are very favorable, he couldn't help asking about the configuration of the computer, and he was even more satisfied after getting the answer.

"Mr. Chen, I will leave my precious student to you. I hope you can succeed."

Wang Zhihong said with full expectation.

"My first step is to become Huaguo's Synopsys, to solve the front-end and back-end problems of chip design, and to step into the high-tech field first."

Chen Heyu revealed a little ambition.

In the chip manufacturing industry, the only way to get a share of the pie is to achieve the ultimate in one of the links and let the mid-stream and downstream companies develop the habit of relying on it.

Otherwise, you can only wander in the middle and low end for a lifetime.

"What's your next step?"

Hong Jun asked curiously.
