Chapter 31 You can’t let him get away!
"Are you talking about the official people?" Others didn't know, but Xia Qing knew very well that Huaji was like a state-owned enterprise disguised as a private enterprise. Its every move involved the official.
"Yes, that's true." Meng Xiangping didn't beat around the bush with Xia Qing.
"To be honest, I've seen geniuses, but I've never seen such a great genius!"
Xia Qing was very happy to hear Meng Xiangping praising her student, even though she had only taught this student for one class.
If they could cooperate with Huaji, Xia Qing believed that Huaji would be able to provide Luo Yao with what he wanted.
At this time, Luo Yao was staying with the test team.
Luo Yao used to seem arrogant to them, but when he really got to work, the people in the testing team felt Luo Yao's professionalism.
Even Dai Guangchao changed his attitude towards Luo Yao and no longer treated him as a child.
Whenever he encountered a problem, he would ask Luo Yao for help.
Luo Yao found that Xian Guangchao's questions were all on the key points, and he was happy to explain them to him.
While Dai Guangchao was getting water, someone from the testing team asked him, "Manager Dai, why are you so polite to this kid?"
Dai Guangchao took a leisurely sip of water and said, "You guys are just too young. Don't you see Luo Yao's temper? When you talk to him, you have to get to the point. If you don't get to the point, he'll just ignore you."
"Geniuses' time is precious, so how can they have time to chat with others?"
Dai Guangchao was able to become a test manager not only because of his strong business capabilities, but also because of his ability to read people's expressions.
You should know that testing work has never been a pleasant job, and the most difficult group in the entire R&D team is undoubtedly the testing group.
They have to extract the needs of the product manager and point out the mistakes of the technical team. If the tone is slightly wrong during work, a physical incident may occur.
After all, no one likes someone who keeps finding faults. Every time the testing team finds a bug, the technical team will be busy for an hour.
In this case, Dai Guangchao will have to mediate between the two.
When it comes to managing people, Dai Guangchao is indeed better than others.
"And this kid brought out the full-process EDA software. Do you know what that means?"
The tester shook his head. He was just a member of an ordinary testing team. All he did every day was test bugs. Why would he think about so many things?
"This means that China may be the only country capable of realizing a complete chip industry chain."
The tester looked at Dai Guangchao in disbelief, feeling that he was just making empty promises.
The entire chip industry chain? That’s something even the technologically advanced U.S. hasn’t achieved!
While they were chatting, Luo Yao received a text message from Wu Tianming.
[Santu, why did you ask for leave? Is something going on at home? I haven't seen you all afternoon.]
Luo Yao thought about it and decided to reply him.
[I have something to deal with, so I won't be going back today.]
Seeing the other party's answer, Wu Tianming knew that Luo Yao didn't want to elaborate, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just told the other party that the counselor had brought the books he used in class.
Books for class?
Luo Yao felt that he wouldn't need those things anymore.
After Wu Tianming sent the message, he saw that Luo Yao had only replied with a single "OK." He sighed and said, "Santu isn't coming back today. I don't know what's going on. I hope he's okay."
"It should be fine. Santu is very smart. Do you think our assignments will pass? I really want to join Professor Xia's project." Wang Ye said with anticipation.
"I don't know, but after Santu's previous explanation, I think programming is not particularly difficult. I just need to build the architecture first."
"Don't think too much about it, just learn it first!"
Seeing Wang Ye's unusual love for studying, Wu Tianming suddenly had a thought: "Are you working so hard just to show off in front of Luo Zhu?"
Wang Ye, who was exposed, didn't care at all: "This is called 'a beautiful lady is a good match for a gentleman', what do you know!"
Wang Ye was like a pure little boy in love, still worried: "Santu will definitely be able to enter Professor Xia's project, what should I do if I can't?"
"Do you think there is any way to get in through the back door?" Wang Ye felt that he couldn't compete with others by taking the right path, so he started to think of crooked ideas.
Wu Tianming was amused. "Why are you giving Professor Xia an antique? Come on, Professor Xia, a national-level talent, wouldn't have the luxury of such things. I advise you not to think of such things. Professor Xia has a connection with Huaji. Do you think he'd be interested in your things?"
It seemed that the wrong path was not feasible, so Wang Ye started reading a book in frustration.
at the same time.
After Luo Yao read "Theory of Heaped Prime Numbers" in Huaji Library for a while, Xia Qing took him to eat something and then he went back to the room arranged for him by Meng Xiangping to sleep. He slept very soundly, but he didn't know that the senior management of Huaji had not slept all night.
"Xiangping, have the test cases been written?" This was the third time Rao Huiling asked Meng Xiangping tonight.
"Not yet, Mr. Rao. Why don't you go and rest for a while? I'll let you know when the test case is ready."
"How can I sleep? I've already informed President Zheng, and now everyone in the president's office is urging us to do something." Rao Huiling had never been so anxious before. She couldn't imagine that the EDA she had been thinking about so much would just fall out of the blue.
"Mr. Rao, you know that the fewer people who know about this situation, the better. The EDA department's tests are all screened in advance. It would be unsafe to add people in at short notice."
Of course, Rao Huiling understood what Meng Xiangping said.
Now she can only wait.
After anxiously waiting for a whole night, at 6:30 in the morning, the testing team, who had been working hard all night, finally finished writing the test cases.
Meng Xiangping went through the test cases, confirmed that they were correct, and sent them to the leaders who had been waiting all night. Then he could no longer hold on and fell asleep on the table.
Two hours later, Meng Xiangping received a call from Rao Huiling.
"Xiangping will be in the Super War conference room at ten o'clock."
Super War is the largest and most important office in the 012 Laboratory. Unless it is a particularly important project, no meeting is qualified to be held here.
When he arrived at the conference room, Meng Xiangping took a quick look and found that in addition to the seven people from the President's Office, there were also representatives from the East China Investment Commission and a cadre from the capital.
"Xiangping, we've reviewed all the test cases and there are no problems. I never thought that EDA could support process designs below 7nm. It's hard to believe!"
After expressing his admiration, Huaji President Zheng Housheng continued, "But I'm concerned about one thing: where did this EDA come from?"
"We checked the surveillance footage and confirmed that the developer, Luo Yao, completed the work on campus. He said he didn't have a suitable computer, so he simply recorded the code and didn't enter it into the programming tool. He then ported it to the school after arriving at East China University of Technology."
"This student is extremely talented. While writing the code, we didn't see him looking up any information, including logging into GitHub."
Zheng Housheng sighed after hearing this: "We've only just found such a talent! It seems we need to increase our efforts in recruiting talents in the future, otherwise we don't know how many we'll miss out on."
Zheng Housheng changed the subject and continued, "Did you know that this EDA can bring the entire chip industry chain to China?"
"Many semiconductor equipment and design software have low sales volumes and high technical barriers to entry, so most companies are reluctant to invest, especially those in the US, where profit is paramount."
"In this way, they would prefer the whole world to be their factory, and they only need to master a few key upstream technologies."
"But with this EDA, we can build an entire chip industry chain in the shortest possible time. Once the entire chip industry develops, related industries will also be driven!"
"No one will ever try to strangle us with chips from now on!"
"Of course, to ensure that this EDA is quickly launched, we still need official assistance."
Zheng Housheng said this and looked at the representative of the East China Investment Commission and the cadres from the capital.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zheng, we will provide you with all our assistance. However, you will need to meet with the manufacturers in person." The representative of the East Investment Committee said straight to the point.
"Of course, we'll arrange this." Zheng Housheng nodded in agreement, then turned to Rao Huiling and Meng Xiangping.
"What are you going to do with the developer Luo Yao?"
Rao Huiling had already thought about it. She said, "Luo Yao is only 16 years old. He hopes we can provide him with all the resources he needs for research. This is easy. All the resources of the 012 laboratory can be allocated to him."
"But as for the title... he can't handle it if it's too big, and he probably won't be interested in it if it's too small."
Zheng Housheng knew from her expression that she hadn't expected this. He waved his hand and said, "Huiling, you're too cautious. Isn't the EDA department still there?"
"We'll split them up and set up a lab dedicated to chip research. Luo Yao is young right now, so he can't take on a specific position. Later, when his management skills have developed, we'll separate the lab into an independent company, with him as president."
"Mr. Zheng, you're right, but setting up a company is a bit far-fetched. Will Luo Yao agree?"
CFO Zheng Mengrong, who had been silent, spoke up.
"We've learned from Professor Xia that Luo Yao's family is not well off, and they rely on a small restaurant for their livelihood. In this situation, we should first offer him benefits to stabilize him. A 16-year-old boy has big ambitions, and we need to paint a rosy picture, but we must also offer substantial rewards."
"The current situation is special, and going through the normal procurement process carries the risk of leaking secrets. However, if Luo Yao joins us, we can pay him in installments, either as employee salary or as a bonus. I'm thankful that Luo Yao is over 16, otherwise we would be suspected of employing child labor."
Sometimes it’s not a good thing for a genius to be too young!
Hearing Zheng Mengrong say this, everyone else also laughed.
"But if the amount of money transferred from public to private enterprises accumulates to 50,000 yuan on the same day, it will be monitored, and if it accumulates to 2 million yuan, it will be subject to key audits. So, I need to talk to the China Banking Regulatory Commission about this, and I may need to represent you at that time."
The representative of the East China Investment Commission nodded.
"Mr. Zheng, we must stabilize Luo Yao first no matter what. Otherwise, what if he runs away to the Ugly Country?" the representative of the East Investment Committee reminded.
"Don't worry, we will definitely get things done."
"Well, if you have any financial problems, the government can pay for you."
The words of the representative of the East China Investment Commission made Zheng Housheng's heart skip a beat.
How could he dare to ask the country to intervene in this matter?
Huaji can't even come up with this little money, so how can it dare to say how many billions it will invest in research and development in the future?
I really look down on him, Zheng Housheng.
"Mengrong, how much cash can we take out now?" Zheng Housheng immediately looked at Zheng Mengrong.
Zheng Mengrong took the laptop next to her and said, "We need to discuss this with the China Banking Regulatory Commission. It's probably not going to work if the amount is too high. We can give you 200 million yuan for now. Of course, this is Luo Yao's money, and we'll pay the taxes on his behalf."
Zheng Housheng slammed his head on the table and said, "Give it to me then! They are just two small goals!"
Taking out such a large amount of funds from the cash flow is actually not a trivial matter, but in order to get Luo Yao to cooperate with them, Zheng Housheng feels that the money is worth spending.
"In addition to direct rewards, there are also physical stock, virtual stock, and TUP rewards."
"In short, you can't let Luo Yao get away!"
