Simulation: Great Power Technology

Ye Zhou didn't expect that an old national flag brought from his home would affect the official's judgment on his position. In fact, in his hometown, he still had at least a dozen such national flags, all of which were left by his grandfather before his death.

His grandfather is a veteran who has experienced war. He has been taken care of by the state after he retired from the army. Therefore, every year during the Chinese New Year, when lanterns are hung in other people's houses, he will hang a brand-new national flag.

Ye Zhou went to school at that time, and his grandfather took down the national flag and gave it to him, and he has kept it to this day.

Today is Monday, and it is also his first day to work at MicroFusion. Ye Zhou is still wearing the clothes that Huaji prepared for him at that time. He got out of the newly equipped a6 car and walked into the office building a little nervously.

When he arrived in the office building, the hrd who was in charge of receiving him had already made various preparations.

"Hello, Mr. Ye, I'm Zhou Fuyuan, the human resources director of MicroFusion. Today, I'll give you a simple job guide."

Ye Zhou hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands with him and said politely:

"Hello, hello, just call Ye Zhou. I will trouble you to take care of me in the company in the future."

"Where, we are your blessing. This year's bonuses are all pre-booked. Come on, I'll take you to your office first."

Ye Zhou's office is on the third floor of the MicroFusion office building. The space is very spacious. In front of the desk is a set of standard Huaji style tea tables.

"This is where you will work in the future. Usually, the office of the leader is not closed, so the position of the desk is relatively inward, and the space is a little narrow when working."

"It's okay, it's big enough."

This is the truth of Ye Zhou. He also went to many companies during his internship. Not to mention the positions of ordinary employees, even CEO-level offices are rarely as arrogant as MicroFusion.

After briefly familiarizing himself with the environment and meeting a few department leaders who will often deal with each other in the future, Zhou Fuyuan began to introduce his work to Ye Zhou.

"Mr. Ye, your current position is executive vice president, but due to the special circumstances, the company has not assigned you to be responsible for specific administrative affairs for the time being - that is to say, you do not have to take responsibility for internal management."

"However, when it comes to major decisions, especially technical decisions and sales decisions, MicroFusion is all about you."

"So, your subsequent work is mainly divided into several parts. I will briefly summarize it as: approving budgets and reimbursements, approving sales projects, and deciding on the direction of technology research and development."

"I think the third one should be your strength, so I don't need to say more. For the first two, reimbursement is very simple, and our company's process control is very sound. If there is no bill, just ask a few more times. The decision-making of sales projects mainly depends on profitability, but if you encounter strategic projects, such as the promotion project of Yinglong eda, you can actually make losses.”

"This is up to your decision, and the sales decision-making team including me will also give you advice."

While listening, Ye Zhou wrote down the main points of Zhou Fuyuan in his notebook. When he finished speaking, Ye Zhou summed it up and found that there was really not much he needed to do.

The main thing is to make some major decisions, and at the same time, gradually get in touch with the customer line and the appointment and removal of human resources. As for other miscellaneous trivial matters, MicroFusion did not arrange for him at all.

"I have basically understood the content of the work. Brother Zhou, see if you can tell me about the key work in the company recently. I have a preliminary concept first."

Zhou Fuyuan smiled, pointed at the tea table and cast a questioning look at Ye Zhou. After Ye Zhou nodded in agreement, he sat down to make tea and replied:

"The most important thing for our company recently must be the promotion of Yinglong eda. At present, all sales and technical teams are working on this matter."

"At present, our main difficulty is the issue of the rejection list. The sales team has begun to contact various domestic chip design companies, but the feedback...is not particularly optimistic. We will have a meeting with several chip design companies this morning. The company's sales strategy meeting, where we will introduce our products and collect suggestions from potential customers, you need to attend when the time comes."

"This morning? What time?"

Ye Zhou asked.

"At 10:30, we still have half an hour."

"Do I need to prepare anything in advance?"

"Not currently. Of course, you are the person who knows Ying Long eda best. If you prepare answers to some technical questions in advance, it will give us a great advantage."

"But to be honest, I don't think this afternoon meeting is technical."

Seeing Zhou Fuyuan's slightly worried expression, Ye Zhou also understood what he meant.

Yinglong, how are you? Of course, as long as people who know a little bit of technology know what this software means to the Huaxia chip industry, not to mention those old-fashioned companies that have been engaged in chip design for several years or even more than ten years.

But do they dare to use it?

At present, the two largest chip foundries of domestic companies are Huaxin International and Wanji Electric. The former is mainly engaged in the field of low-end chips, and the latter is mainly engaged in high-end chips.

However, the technology centers used by these two foundry companies have a lot of ugly elements, and it is impossible to take the risk of entering the rejection list themselves to contract for a chip design company that uses Yinglong eda.

However, if you want to find other foundries, either the technical level is not up to the level, or the yield rate is too low. For these chip design companies, it is an extremely uneconomical choice.

It's better to use synopsys' eda honestly. Although it is a bit more expensive, at least some people are willing to do the designed chips.

"This problem is indeed a bit troublesome...but there will always be a solution. How many companies are currently interested in cooperation?"

In fact, Ye Zhou is not in a hurry to sell Yinglong eda at this point. Anyway, the official side has already received the chip manufacturing technology. In two months at most three months, the domestic 3nm lithography machine will be When it is released, there will be a large number of domestic manufacturers rushing to use domestic technology.

However, in front of other people, he can't make his confidence too obvious.

Hearing Ye Zhou's question, Zhou Fuyuan smiled bitterly, filled him with tea, and then replied:

"None of them."

"No family? Then why did they come to our meeting?"

Ye Zhou asked in surprise.

"Because, we promise that every company that comes to participate in the product introduction will give us a one-year free trial right of our internal office software. They basically come for this."

Ye Zhou looked at the ups and downs of tea leaves in the teacup silently, and for the first time felt that the business was not going well.

The exchange meeting of other manufacturers will send some souvenirs at most, and MicroFusion will directly send software packages worth hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

While such software has no cost, it is also a potential expense to profit.

But even then, no one was showing any interest in the product they were actually promoting.

Difficult, really difficult.

Ye Zhou finished his tea, glanced at his watch, and said to Zhou Fuyuan:

"Come on, let's go to a meeting and see if I can convince one or two companies to try!"
