Great Power Technology: Domination Of The World Starts With Chips

Warwick Hayes Headquarters.

A meeting is about to take place.

There were a lot of people attending the meeting, but basically they were all high-level personnel from Hayes, especially various chip design experts, who had already gathered together.

It's just that these high-level personnel at this time are a little downcast, and a gloomy atmosphere spreads in the room.

The sanctions imposed by the United States on the chip manufacturing process have seriously affected their morale. You must know that many people here rely on this job for a living, and being able to work in Hayes is naturally very powerful in technology.

As a result, the EDA software can no longer be used, and the chip architecture can no longer be used. No matter how powerful they are, they will not be able to play a role.

And Hayes, as a company specializing in the chip design industry, faced this situation and almost reached the rhythm of being unable to continue.

"I feel that our meeting is just to let us prepare and pack up and leave."

Someone said without guessing.

"Then what can we do? The company will not be able to continue. Apart from packing up and leaving, is it possible that we can continue to stay?"

"Ugh……"

Many people are full of pessimism.

Some people also began to insult: "Americans are really hateful!"

"What a shameless country!"

"I really want to fight with them!"

"The big deal is that I will go to work in the fab. If I become a leader at that time, I will raise the price of materials and earn money from them."

There are also another group of people who talk about the way out in the future.

"What are you going to do?"

"I don't know... To be honest, the people from the fruit contacted me yesterday and asked me to go to the fruit headquarters to develop their A-series chips."

"Fuck? The treatment of the fruit must be pretty good, why don't you hurry up?"

"My family is all in China, and there are relatives and friends who go to the United States. I don't know how long it will take to come back. My mom and dad don't want to go either, and they don't speak English."

"Oh... me too, I received an invitation from Xiaotong, but my wife doesn't want to go abroad, and my child says it's too dangerous to go abroad, so I don't want to go."

Someone also expressed the same problem.

The people around were silent.

The people here, with their many years of work experience, are fully capable of working in large foreign chip design companies. In the past, some foreign companies wanted to recruit them, but they were unwilling because of their families or their own beliefs. Go abroad for development.

But in the face of this situation, where else do they think they can go besides going abroad?

This is the second method of the U.S. sanction chip link. Take this opportunity to absorb relevant domestic talents from Huaguo to foreign countries, and cut off most of Huaguo's chip design capabilities. In this way, Huaguo's chip design will inevitably will be devastated.

The more they talked, the more uncertain their future was. It seemed that there was only one way for them to choose, and that was to leave their country and go abroad.

However, although the treatment abroad is good, apart from the good treatment, what else is there to cherish?

It was never my hometown.

The Hua people who were educated in their hometowns have a strong attachment to their hometowns. Staying in their own country and cities is a concept shared by most Hua people.

They fell into melancholy.

At this time, a group of people came in, including several senior leaders of Hayes, and the chief technology officer of Hayes.

This group of people were smiling, which puzzled the researchers who were still in distress.

The company has reached this level, and you guys are still laughing?

laugh? Is it time for you to laugh at this stage?

"Hello, everyone." Chen Weiwen, president of Hayes, came to the front of the meeting room, glanced around, and said, "Why do you feel that the atmosphere is so heavy? Take it easy, our meeting is not here for a criticism meeting .”

The people below all curled their lips, aren't you pretending to be confused while you understand?

What is the reason for their heaviness, you don't know?

Chen Weiwen probably knew that he was talking nonsense, so he stopped talking and said directly: "Today's meeting, I want to tell you about a major adjustment in the chip design business recently."

"A few days ago, due to the shameless means of the Americans, the authorization of the EDA software we purchased was suspended, and we were not given any buffer time."

"I don't need to say much about this matter, everyone feels the deepest."

"And now, the solution to this matter has come out."

Originally, the people below were still lacking in interest, and if Chen Weiwen talked about the hype, they were not interested anymore.

But now he suddenly said, is there a solution to this matter?

Everyone raised their spirits and looked at Chen Weiwen, expecting him to come up with a solution.

Chen Weiwen said with a smile: "Actually, Zhiqi Technology Company has developed an EDA software."

"Zhiqi's strength in the chip industry is obvious to all, and this EDA software specially designed by Zhiqi is very powerful. Academicians and experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences are conducting research on this new software. After the test, it has been confirmed that it can be called the world's top EDA software, which is not weaker than the EDA software of Synopsys, Cadence and MentorGraphics."

"So you don't have to worry about not being able to use advanced EDA software in China in the future."

Everyone in the conference room looked at each other in blank dismay, and for a moment they couldn't even believe that this matter was true.

Someone raised his hand and asked, "Mr. Chen, what you said is true? I believe in Zhiqi's strength, but EDA software and chip manufacturing are completely different concepts, right?"

Chen Weiwen smiled, pointed to the chief technology officer next to him, and said, "It's useless for me to say so much. You should listen to our old Chen. He has also experienced Zhiqi's EDA software before. What do you have? Questions, ask him now."

Everyone looked at the chief technology officer, and immediately raised their hands one by one, asking a lot of questions, and the chief technology officer answered them one by one.

From the chief technology officer's evaluation, the people below couldn't help but believe this.

However, there is another problem that they are also very concerned about.

"But there is nothing we can do with only EDA software. We still need to use the authorization of the ARM architecture. Without the authorization of the architecture, we can only develop the architecture by ourselves, but our self-developed architecture has been too slow, and..."

The person who asked the question didn't finish his sentence, but everyone knew what the unfinished sentence was.

Even if they develop their own architecture, it is still a question of whether they can keep up with the world-class level.
