Great Power Technology

Ye Zhou took a deep breath, adjusted his expression, and replied seriously:

"I did it."

"How long did it take? Did you type all the code yourself?"

“I’ve been reading about this stuff since I was in junior high school, and started developing it full-time in college, which took me close to 4 years.”

"You did it all by yourself??"

Zhang Yue asked in disbelief.

"That's not... I spent a lot of money to find an outsourcer. I definitely didn't type the code alone, and I didn't do the UI or anything like that."

If it was just to show off, Ye Zhouda could actually claim that the entire software was independently developed by himself, but this would be a bit outrageous.

A person's energy is limited. For such a huge piece of software, even if the idea is extremely clear, it would take tens of millions of lines of code just to type. Even if he doesn't sleep, it would take Ye Zhou 4 years to type it.

Therefore, outsourcing is the best explanation.

Anyway, there is no way to trace the source of a task when it is subcontracted. As long as Ye Zhou says he has found someone, he has found someone.

"That's outrageous...how much did it cost?"

Zhang Yue breathed a sigh of relief. According to Ye Zhou, the development process of this software was at least not incomprehensible.

In 10 years, from youth to the prime of life now, it is not impossible to create an EDA.

I can only sigh at his genius.

"This...it's not convenient for me to reveal it."

Hearing Ye Zhou's answer, Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment and reacted immediately.

Asking about the cost in front of the developer is indeed a mistake that no newbie in the workplace would make, but he asked it unconsciously.

The truth is that Yinglong EDA shocked him too much today, so he lost his composure without paying attention.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm just curious... But don't worry, even if we really know your cost, we will never deliberately lower the price. This thing is of great significance. By the way, are you planning to sell it? ? Will it be sold with a license or sold outright?"

The so-called license is actually a software pass. By setting encryption and then using a dedicated activation code to control the usage time of the software, this is an internationally accepted practice.

As for selling it outright, it's very simple. Directly authorize it to customers for permanent use, and the price will be dozens or hundreds of times more expensive than a pass.

Zhang Yue is looking forward to Ye Zhou's answer. For Huaji, they prefer to use the sell-out method, because money is not an issue at all. As long as the continuous supply of software can be guaranteed, one small goal and 50 small goals , in fact, there is no essential difference in the impact on the company.

Ye Zhou scratched his head, thought for a moment, and replied with some embarrassment:

"No, I actually have no intention of selling it to you."

"What? Then what did you bring it for?"

Zhang Yue looked at Ye Zhou inexplicably. He didn't understand what Ye Zhou meant by "not planning to sell".

You’ve seen it all, now you’re saying you won’t sell it?

Male Bodhisattva? Specifically for people to prostitute themselves for free?

Ye Zhou quickly explained:

"You got it wrong. What I mean is that this software cannot be sold according to normal business practices now."

"I neither encrypted it nor encapsulated paid content. It was just an unsuspecting girl. Anyone who saw it could come over and touch it."

"I am not good at encryption, including business, so I want to cooperate with you."

Zhang Yue nodded slightly. He had roughly guessed Ye Zhou's strategy.

"So, you are planning to exchange equity for investment?"

"No, I don't plan to sell the equity."

Ye Zhou shook his head.

"Then what are your plans? Just tell me directly. As long as it's within reason, we can accept it."

"Well, that's it. I want to be a shareholder of Huaji."

"Being a shareholder of Huaji? Technology investment?"

"That's right, I haven't figured out how to do it yet. I hope someone professional can guide me."

Zhang Yue finally understood, but he was a technical person and didn't know much about these business matters. After briefly chatting with Ye Zhou for a few words, he walked aside and started making phone calls.

The remaining people chatted with him curiously, but soon gathered around the computer again.

For these engineering men, let alone a grown man like Ye Zhou, even if a girl wearing a black silk skirt and suspenders stood in front of them and made poses, they would remain unmoved and continue to play with their EDA.

Are you kidding?

How can girls be as fun as EDA?

Ye Zhou suddenly felt left out.

Fortunately, Zhang Yue finished the call quickly. He drove everyone away forcefully, handed the computer back to Ye Zhou and said:

"I have reported the situation to the superior. There is basically no problem with your plan. Now you can take your computer home and rest. We will reply to you as soon as possible. The driver has already made arrangements for you. We are here There is only one request at the moment: Do not show Yinglong EDA to anyone else for the time being."

"Don't get me wrong, we are not worried about competition, we are worried about confidentiality."

Ye Zhou nodded in agreement, and ten minutes later, the Alpha arranged for him by the Huaji Customer Engineering Department took him home.

Ye Zhou, who was blowing on the air conditioner, finally breathed a sigh of relief. This EDA should basically be considered as a gift. As for how much direct benefit he can get, that is something that needs to be discussed later.

At the same time, Huaji Shencheng headquarters held an unprecedented high-level emergency meeting.

Within half an hour, everyone from the boss of Huaji, to the princess in charge of finance, to the rotating CEO, to the president of R\u0026D, were all sitting in the same conference room without exception.

At the same time, all the main leaders of Shenzhen State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission were present, and even the cadre team of Shenzhen City sent representatives.

There is only one problem these people have to solve:

How to ensure that Yinglong EDA is available online in the shortest possible time.

"I have made the situation clear here. After evaluation by the R\u0026D team, the performance of this Yinglong EDA far exceeds the current international mainstream EDA, and it has absolutely no moisture."

"Now we have to move on to the next topic: Is the cooperation model proposed by Ye Zhou feasible?"

The speaker was Song Ping, the rotating CEO of Huaji. Generally speaking, he was only responsible for strategic matters. This was the first time that he discussed a specific business strategy like today.

"I said, what is there to discuss? The method is very simple. Isn't he an employee of ours now? We have so many white gloves below. Wouldn't it be great to appoint him as a general manager and give him some equity? ?”

"When the time comes, the procurement will follow your normal procedures, and he will just share the dividends according to the profits."

The boss sitting in the corner of the conference table waved his hand, his wrinkled face glowing with eagerness to try.

He couldn't remember how many years it had been since he had encountered something that made his heart surge.

I never thought that in my twilight years, I would have another opportunity to witness history.

"There is no problem with what you said. This is also the most convenient way to deal with it now. However, I still have a question. Do we need to advance a dividend to him? I have checked. His family background is average and he is engaged in R\u0026D Yinglong. I’ve spent a lot of money and I’m afraid there will be financial pressure.”

Song Ping's words imply two levels of meaning. The first level is out of concern for Ye Zhou, which is more high-sounding.

As for the second level, it is actually business.

He wanted to hold Ye Zhou back with a sum of money first to prevent the technology from eventually falling into the hands of others.

"Fat, why don't you do it! It's best to send it out today. Xiao Mo, you are the God of Wealth, how much do you think is appropriate?"

Mowan lowered his head and calculated on his pad, and then replied:

"He does not have any legal identity now, and he can only pay through the channels of personal suppliers. According to our internal control process, he can only pay a maximum of two million. If it is higher, it may be inspected as a commercial bribery."

"What is two million enough for? What I mean is, if you want it, just pay it in full, 100 million! Song Ping, what do you mean?"

The boss waved his hand. Although his tone was inquiring, he actually had plans to make a decision.

Song Ping has been in a high position for a long time, so he will naturally not be able to guess the boss's thoughts, not to mention that this amount of money is insignificant to the entire Huaji, so there is no need to worry about it.

The only problem is the compliance issue that Mo Wan mentioned.

Nowadays, various foreign forces are staring at Hua Ji, and judicial investigations are emerging one after another. It is really unreasonable to risk exposing flaws at this time.

After hesitating for a moment, he said:

"The amount is not an issue. It will be paid to him sooner or later anyway. My problem is the same as Mr. Mo's, which is how to pay..."

The boss sighed and said with some hatred:

"You guys, your brains are rusty and you can't adapt at all. As I said just now, isn't he our employee? Pay him a salary!"
