Chapter 44 You must have a strong sense of self-management!
In a skyscraper somewhere in Ugly Country.
Several blond men in suits were discussing the strategy for the next year.
"If you ask me, just speed up the process and raise all the prices! Increase our profits!"
"It's not enough to just add one company. We need to raise prices for all Chinese companies."
“Join forces with Cadence and Siemens to make it big!”
"Will Cadence and Siemens agree? This is a great opportunity for them to steal our customers. As long as they maintain the status quo and don't raise prices, our customers will be lost to them."
"The business team won't stop them from agreeing. We're all on the same page. Now there's a chance to make more money. Do you think they'll agree?"
Several people looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
"Ah, the people from Sanhua Company replied to my message. Let me translate how they knelt and begged for mercy."
"Dear Mr. Joyce, regarding what you said quietly earlier, we are temporarily unable to accept it. Please allow us to continue using it until the end of the authorization period."
Joyce's face fell. The other party actually said that he couldn't accept it?!
"It seems the other party isn't that smart. Wouldn't it be better if they just listened to us and accepted the price increase?"
"Shit! I've sent a few emails to these idiots before, but it seems they still don't understand the consequences of their actions!"
"They're just stupid. They're so obsessed with making a little money. I heard their company has stopped production for three or four days. Aren't they afraid of continuing to lose money?"
"That makes it suspicious. Do you think they've found a replacement?"
"Joyce, quickly send someone to investigate the situation, especially the regional manager. We must get to the bottom of it!"
An hour later, Joyce returned to the conference room.
"The regional manager hasn't received any information, but our people learned from Hydrogen Semiconductor that someone from Sanhua called them yesterday to ask if they could use chip engineering files drawn with other EDA software for production."
" Something else? Cadence or Siemens?"
Joyce looked serious and said, "Neither. I suspect they have found a replacement."
The air in the conference room froze for a few seconds, and then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, dear Joyce, you are so funny, do you know what you are talking about?"
"Have you found a replacement?"
"You're not saying they've already produced EDA, are you?"
"Joyce, do you want to check what nonsense you're talking about? That's EDA, not some online mini-game that you can create with your bare hands!"
Joyce's face flushed and he sat in his chair feeling embarrassed.
After laughing for a while, the group returned to their normal state.
"However, since Sanhua asked this, it means they're already thinking about finding a replacement. We know China's situation. Their EDA software is nothing but a joke. They're not even worthy of carrying our shoes."
"Most likely they were ordered from other companies abroad."
"No matter which company it is, it seems they don't want to cooperate with us anymore."
Joyce turned to his boss, Miller, and said, "Mr. Miller, should we take action?"
"Of course, we have plenty of ways to deal with them. Do you know about the Xizhi incident?"
"The Xizhi incident? Mr. Miller, are you saying we can use the same method against Sanhua?"
Miller smiled and picked up the whiskey bottle, poured himself a glass, and then said, "Xizhi was stubborn before, but didn't he obey in the end?"
"As long as those who don't obey are disciplined, it's fine."
"Find a reason to let Sanhua know that if they don't cooperate with us, they won't be able to cooperate with anyone else!"
"Joyce, go contact the people at Meishang Group. They're familiar with this method of operation."
"I'll be there right away!"
…
At the same time, Hua Ji's president was in Housheng's office.
"You said that Luo Yao asked the people from the Science and Technology Innovation Center to go over there?" Zheng Housheng looked surprised.
"Indeed, it was Huiling who told me to contact the Science and Technology Innovation Center. I thought it was her idea, but she said it was Luo Yao."
Zheng Housheng was very interested in everything about Luo Yao. He hurriedly asked Zheng Mengrong, "Why did Luo Yao think of inviting someone from the Science and Technology Innovation Center? I saw that Yu Bei reported that Director Sun from the local Science and Technology Innovation Commission was among the attendees."
"Luo Yao said that Director Sun is only a local cadre. If we want to mobilize the entire semiconductor industry and put together a complete production line, we have to bring people from the capital to do it. That way, we can concentrate our efforts on major tasks."
“Also, he mentioned Mount Majuba.”
When Zheng Housheng heard the word "Majuba Mountain", he leaned back in his chair and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he said, "Good boy, he even thought of this. He thinks we are the Boers who own the gold mine, right? Hahaha , now I know why the Science and Technology Innovation Center formulated the subsidy so quickly this time!"
"But this incident also reminds me, our fortress hasn't even been built yet, what can we use to fight against others?"
"We don't have much time left to build a production line." Zheng Housheng said while patting the armrest of the chair.
"Dad, do you mean that the other side will take action?" Zheng Mengrong would return to the identity of Zheng Housheng's daughter when no one else was around. She looked at her father with a worried look on her face, and almost immediately thought of the group of hungry wolves from the Chou Country.
"Sanhua has been dragging its feet on signing a contract with Synopsys, and they're definitely going to be wary. Although they probably won't know about Pangu EDA, they're definitely going to take action."
"So, we'll arrange for our people to be stationed in various companies to provide them with technical assistance. Luo Yao and his team from the Xiangnong Laboratory will also go with them to help companies across the country complete the establishment of their production lines as quickly as possible! We have to be quick!"
"If you don't have enough funds, we'll invest. But we won't be doing it under the name of Huaji. We'll set up a new company specifically to invest in these companies, including photoresists, wafer fabs, and so on."
Zheng Mengrong couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he heard this. If he continued to invest like this, the expenditure would be huge.
"Dad, aren't these companies supported by the Science and Technology Innovation Center?"
Zheng Housheng smiled lightly and said, "That little money is not enough. We can't just rely on the government, that would be passive. Besides, investing in these companies is also an experiment for us."
"I believe that with Luo Yao and our people here, this investment will not fail."
Seeing Zheng Housheng's cheerful expression, Zheng Mengrong knew that he had made up his mind, so she stopped trying to persuade him.
"By the way, how's the progress of the new mobile phone system?"
"We have already entered the second round of testing. People in the R&D and testing departments are rushing to meet deadlines. They know time is tight."
"That's good. Remember to tell Luo Yao that you're sending him to the company. Also, the identity of the Pangu EDA developer must not be revealed until he returns."
Zheng Mengrong nodded.
…
Fuzhou, Sanhua Building.
Those who registered for the meeting have completed their registration, and the man in the black suit is arranging the next steps.
The equipment in our factory is ready, so we only need to adapt and debug it according to Pangu EDA to run it normally.
The chips that Sanhua will produce this time are all 19nm. Zhao Pei, technical personnel and engineers began to connect with people from various companies to ensure that the company is responsible for every link.
By the time they finished the distribution, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
At this time, Luo Yao received a call from Zheng Mengrong, who needed him to take people from Shannon Laboratory to other companies for support.
"Other companies? You want me to debug the equipment?"
Zheng Mengrong: "No, these are mainly done by your lab colleagues. They don't understand the actual usage scenarios, so this is a good opportunity for them to experience it. You will be responsible for collecting information on Pangu's usage and leading the team."
Luo Yao was stunned for a few seconds: "Lead the team well, can't they lead themselves well?"
Zheng Mengrong had never heard a manager make such an outrageous request.
Ask employees to manage themselves?
This is too naive!
Zheng Mengrong took a deep breath and secretly comforted himself that Luo Yao was only 16 years old and he didn't know how to lead a team.
Zheng Mengrong patiently coaxed: "Luo Yao, as the head of the Shannon Laboratory, it would actually be more efficient if you were to directly arrange their work."
"You don't want to waste time outside and be questioned about your team's unprofessionalism, right?"
"This is related to Pangu's first impression on others, so you must go this time."
What a hassle.
After Luo Yao agreed to Zheng Mengrong, he thought about it and notified everyone in the Shannon Laboratory to hold an online video conference.
Ten minutes later, Luo Yao entered the online conference room.
"Boss! You finally showed up! We've all missed you so much!" Wang Ye shouted as soon as he entered the meeting room. Luo Yao was already used to his exaggerated words and ignored him.
"Everyone, please take the earliest flight to Haizhou tomorrow. We will start going into the factory to assist customers with using Pangu EDA software."
After Luo Yao finished speaking, everyone in the conference room was surprised.
"Great! I can finally go out! I'm tired of being inside the park every day!"
"That's amazing! I never thought I could go to Haizhou! I've never been there!"
"Oh my great emperor! To celebrate this wonderful day, I'm going to have a good drink tonight!"
Luo Yao said to the eight people who were already cheering on the screen, "You must abide by one rule when you get there."
The eight people slowly calmed down.
"Boss, what are the rules?" Wu Tianming was very curious. Only one rule needs to be followed?
Is there such a good thing?
"As people in our Shannon Laboratory, we should have a strong sense of self-management. I hope everyone can manage themselves well." Luo Yao said seriously in front of the camera.
Let him take care of others?
It's so troublesome, I don't want to deal with it at all.
It is best to let the team members manage themselves.
Everyone: ???
What's wrong with this leader? Doesn't he care about the team? He even asks them to manage it themselves!
Is there such an outrageous leader in the world?
