Chapter 64 Ecological War

Xi Xiaoding hung up the phone, looked at the stars in the sky, and frowned.

Yang Yiwen turned on the street lights on the lawn and walked to the bench with Qin Si - the house and the garden had been bought by them and rearranged according to their favorite styles.

Xi Xiaoding withdrew his gaze and saw the two beauties standing in front of him with a serious face, and couldn't help but smile: "Why are you doing so nervous? It's not a big deal."

"Nonsense." Yang Yiwen glared and said, "Now the foundation of Yuanxin is eda. Without eda, we will be out of food in an instant."

"What do you say about Mr. Xiao Su?" Qin Si saw Xi Xiaoding holding the project prototype and guessed that Xi Xiaoding had not called this phone until the evening, and must have been waiting for Su Yuanshan.

"He said let the bullets fly for a while." Xi Xiaoding smiled: "It means to wait a moment, don't panic."

When Yang Yiwen heard Su Yuanshan say not to panic, she immediately relaxed and said with a smile: "Since he said that, there must be a way. Otherwise, if we wait for our opponent to go public and then sue, just dragging us out."

After nearly half a year in Silicon Valley, Yang Yiwen has applied for a visa extension. In the past few months, in addition to the various patents passed by Yuanxin, she has also been familiar with various laws here. She knows that she is taking lawsuits here, especially this kind of infringement lawsuit that requires evidence from her own will last for a long time, and the cost is also very huge.

Of course, if you win, the compensation will be generous - the problem is that Yuanxin's goal is not to obtain compensation, but to use technology to kill the opponent rather than relying on patent lawsuits. Because in that case, even if Yuanxin can monopolize the market, it is likely to be subject to the iron fist of the anti-monopoly law.

According to the Anti-monopoly Law, it is not illegal for a company to gain a market monopoly position by users during normal competition. However, it is a bit dangerous to prohibit other companies from entering the industry by using patent barriers, low-price dumping and other means.

So Yang Yiwen was very worried, after all, the antitrust law here is really something that relatives don’t recognize.

Compared to Yang Yiwen's mysterious trust in Su Yuanshan, Xi Xiaoding was obviously much more sober, but he naturally would not make the two girls worried. He smiled and said, "Well, take a break early - by the way, how do you feel after trying that customer management software? Is there anything else that needs improvement?"

As soon as he talked about this, Qin Si immediately became energetic: "Very good, very strong! It is especially suitable for user management like us with multiple customers, especially corporate customers."

"That's good. You guys test it first and wait for a month before releasing it."

Su Yuanshan laughed for a long time after hanging up the phone, and then immediately went up to the tenth floor.

As Yang Yiwen was worried, even though Yuanxin was far from reaching a monopoly position at this moment, he still wanted to avoid filing lawsuits before completely defeating his peers.

After all, EDA is not about making a lot of money, but about becoming Microsoft in EDA - unless synopsys is really shameless and directly copy the code, don't blame Su Yuanshan for being rude.

"Old Jiang, can you draw a few people here?"

When he went to Jiang Wanchao's office, Su Yuanshan was straight to the point.

Jiang Wanchao was scratching his scalp and immediately became nervous when he heard this: "What do you want to do? Qu Hui brought a group of elite soldiers to Chengguang Institute, and Zhu Jianting brought a group of experienced employees to help Party A with mechanical engineering. He just asked me if I wanted people. Where do I have so many people? Now there are only a dozen experienced employees at the beginning..."

Su Yuanshan was stunned: "There are so nervous people?"

"Otherwise?" Jiang Wanchao smiled bitterly and said, "I have opened twenty interns here, and you have to give priority to satisfying me."

"That will be satisfied." Su Yuanshan picked up the teeth and frowned: "Old Jiang, that's it. Brother Xi just called me and said that synopsys is testing the chip design part that is almost the same as ours."

"Damn?" Jiang Wanchao was furious when he heard this: "Damn they are the source code of copy?"

Su Yuanshan nodded: "So I plan to develop several free open source plug-ins from here by the official."

Jiang Wanchao stared at Su Yuanshan, and his previous nervousness slowly disappeared: "What do you mean is we use the form of open source plug-ins to enhance the functions of eeda?"

"Yes, the main thing is to build up the open source community."

Su Yuanshan sighed, overestimating the programming level of the chip designers in the west, or the enthusiasm for studying. Before leaving, he and Xi Xiaodingjian's forum are not very popular now. So far, he has only contributed five open source plug-ins, and his level is still average...

"We will sort out here first, and then open more interfaces and data. If it really doesn't work, we even need to retain the design and simulation functions, and leave the rest to the open source community."

Su Yuanshan smiled and explained: "This is called ecological war."

After arranging tasks for Jiang Wanchao's men, Su Yuanshan quickly went downstairs and opened c that he hadn't used for a long time. Then he built a new project.

【An enhanced mcu design plugin】

...

In the next few days, Su Yuanshan contacted Xi Xiaoding several times by email and told Xi Xiaoding what he had arranged, so that he could write some plug-ins to the open source forum in his spare time, and at the same time, let the forum be promoted more. The plug-in application ecosystem with Yuanxin as the core as soon as possible is formed.

A week later, the representative of Nec visited Yuanxin headquarters accompanied by the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau, and Su Xinghe was accompanying him.

Perhaps it is rare to share the worries of his son. Professor Su Xinghe was very active this time. He received representatives from Nec throughout the whole process and signed a cooperation agreement.

Su Xinghe only had one request, hoping that Nec could send engineers to assist Yuanxin in building a clean room.

"Professor Su, why do you want to build a clean room? Do you have the idea of ​​building a wafer fab?"

When the request was made, Nec's representative, Ichino Tang Ze, was surprised.

At this time, the investment promotion team made it clear in the nec aspect that this time it was just here to buy software, not to leave in disappointment after inspecting the project. So Su Yuanshan also went straight from the ninth floor to the thirty-story sky teahouse.

Su Xinghe smiled slightly and looked at Teacher Lin, who was a temporary translator from the Foreign Language Department of the Provincial University: "Please translate it, and we say that we have no idea to build a wafer factory for the time being, and the layerless room is only part of the research center."

"So that's it." Tang Zeyinan nodded and asked like a curious baby: "But why did you choose us? Your fab seems to have been working with Xibian all the time."

Su Yuanshan listened quietly on the side. Although he had lost his Japanese for many years, he could barely understand it.

When Teacher Lin was still tangling with the word "factory", Su Yuanshan whispered: "Please tell him, "We appreciate their craftsmanship spirit. The floorless room they built must be the cleanest in the world."

“At the same time, we hope to work with them more deeply, especially in the semiconductor field, including and not limited to providing chip design support and pipeline process improvements.”
