My science and technology museum

As Xu Lei's words rang out in the reception room, Ren Yuanwei's face suddenly froze. The hand holding the tea cup paused in the air for two seconds, and then he put it to his mouth pretending to be calm.

Warwick's achievements today are inseparable from the two points of attaching great importance to technology research and development and cultivating talents.

Therefore, Ren Yuanwei is very interested in companies like Future Technology, which are young and full of energy and rely on their own efforts to develop domestic game engines and break overseas technology monopolies. He believes that they are the core force for future industry development.

That's even possible.

Warwick is willing to establish cooperation with it in a certain field.

So after receiving contact from Future Technology and learning that the other party also had ideas in this regard, Ren Yuanwei immediately agreed and adjusted his schedule.

The main reason is that the heat generated by the Phantom Star Engine during this period is too great.

Not only did it affect the entire domestic game animation industry, but also many overseas companies were affected. They finally had to accept the cooperation model provided by Future Technology, which completely ended the era of overseas companies monopolizing game engine technology. It can be called a milestone in the history of domestic technology development. milestone step.

In addition, the person who founded this company is still a recent graduate, which will inevitably make people curious.

But his previous judgment was that Xu Lei's purpose of this trip might be to seek support from Warwick in terms of hardware. After all, they are now a global leader in information and communication technology.

The mobile phone and computer business can only be regarded as a side job.

But what people didn't expect was that Xu Lei actually knew how to speak astonishingly, and threatened to develop domestic chip design software.

Since the Vitex Communications incident occurred some time ago, they have become more aware of the importance of developing their own core technologies. The strategic research institute department under the company has successively increased its research and development efforts on chip design, mobile phone operating system and other technologies.

Chip design software is also included in the project.

However, as the saying goes, you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are until you are an expert. Only when you really get involved in this field do you understand the difficulty.

Especially as chips become more sophisticated, the difficulty and cost of developing corresponding chip design software are also on the rise.

It is true that Future Technology has successfully developed an intelligent game engine with performance far exceeding the industry level, but this and chip design software are two completely different things.

If you start from scratch, I don’t know how much money and time it will cost to get a glimpse of it.

So thinking of this, I saw Ren Yuanwei put down the teacup in his hand, frowned slightly and said: "It is a good thing for young people to dare to dare to do something. However, compared with the huge integrated circuit market of hundreds of billions of dollars, the EDA market only accounts for less than 10 billion US dollars." , since your company has already established a foothold in the engine licensing market, why would you want to get involved in the field of chip design software?"

Ren Yuanwei had such doubts, which was completely expected by Xu Lei.

Fortunately, he had already prepared his words on the way, and almost as soon as Ren Yuanwei finished speaking, he responded immediately.

"I also want to have what others have, even if I just leave it there and don't use it."

“In addition, Future Technology’s choice of developing chip design software is not a matter of groping for stones. Now we have global leadership in the field of artificial intelligence. As long as we form a corresponding R\u0026D team, I am confident that it will be online before the end of the year. "

"At the end of the year...how is this possible?" After hearing the time in Xu Lei's mouth, Peng Qianqian, who was not far away, suddenly exclaimed.

Seeing that his words had successfully aroused emotions, Xu Lei continued: "Our EDA software will abandon the traditional optimization direction and take a new route of artificial intelligence plus cloud technology."

"By then, even if you design the most sophisticated and complex high-end chips, it won't take too long, and the sunk costs will be significantly reduced."

"In addition, we will also provide mature design macro modules to avoid duplication of work by chip design companies and get rid of the monopoly of overseas authorized modules."

If Ren Yuanwei hadn't taken this matter to heart just now, then after listening to Xu Lei's words, although he still felt unbelievable, he couldn't help but feel excited in his heart.

Because if it is true as Xu Lei said.

Warwick uses this software to design its own chips.

Not only will the investment cost be significantly reduced, but the chip performance will also be significantly improved.

In the long run this will be a far-reaching decision for Warwick.

It's just that the talents that Warwick has put so much effort into cultivating are poached by Future Technology. If they fail to develop this software in the end, it will probably cause the company's internal projects to stagnate.

After weighing it carefully, Ren Yuanwei paused for a moment before saying in a joking tone: "Although Mr. Xu said he was borrowing someone, I guess it was Liu Bei who borrowed Jingzhou, right?"

"Mr. Ren's words are serious. In the end, software must serve Warwick anyway. As for where people work, what does it matter?" Faced with Ren Yuanwei's words, Xu Lei also responded with a smile. It is obvious that this corner is Digging is done.

Speaking of this, Ren Yuanwei couldn't help but fall into deep thought, hesitating whether he should agree to this cooperation.

It takes about half a cup of tea.

Ren Yuanwei's eyes became firmer and he had obviously made a decision.

"Okay, Mr. Xu, you are tired from the journey. I will ask the secretary to arrange for you to go back to the hotel to rest. I will definitely give you an accurate answer tomorrow."

"no problem."

Xu Lei knew that the matter could not be settled on the spot, so he did not think that Ren Yuanwei was perfunctory. He immediately stood up and reached out to shake hands with the other party before preparing to leave first.

But then he seemed to have thought of something, so he had to stop and turn around and added: "By the way, Chairman Ren, in order to improve the development efficiency of chip design software, our company may also need to build a top-level data center." , I’m afraid we have to rely on Warwick’s support in terms of hardware.”

After saying that, without waiting for Ren Yuanwei's response, he took Lu Hongbo and the others away directly.

It wasn't until several people left the reception room that Lu Hongbo dared to release some of the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart.

He quickly said in a slightly trembling voice: "Mr. Xu, I guessed that your trip might be for the company's new project, but I didn't expect that it was chip design software. You must want our company to become the light of domestic production. "

"Your ideal is worthy of admiration from any Chinese, and it is also my lifelong learning goal."

In Lu Hongbo's view, from the previous smart game engine to the current chip design software, Xu Lei's every step is to break the domestic technology monopoly.

As a genius in the field of artificial intelligence, he has achieved financial freedom, but he still chooses to get involved in difficult fields.

What an exemplary spirit this is.

At this moment, he can say that he has nothing else in mind but to work in future technology for the rest of his life and contribute to the company's continuous development and growth.
