Chapter 27 The Curse
Chen Yuan thought that Kaideng Electronics would not terminate the contract easily, but he did not expect that the problem would come so quickly.
It is not difficult to see from Zhang Xiaolong's tone that he encountered trouble this time.
"Secretary Qi, if something goes wrong with Haisi, I'll go there first, and you will be responsible for this." Chen Yuan hurriedly said to Secretary Qi.
"Do you want me to help?" Secretary Qi pointed to HiSilicon.
"No need for now." Chen Yuan patted his shoulder. Secretary Qi was so considerate.
Secretary Qi took everyone to get to know the environment here, and Chen Yuan quickly rushed to the Haisi Building.
I was in a hurry along the way and I almost never stopped to rest.
And when he saw Zhang Xiaolong, he was standing anxiously outside the conference room door with a look at his watch.
"You are here." Seeing Chen Yuan coming, Zhang Xiaolong breathed a sigh of relief.
"What happened?" To deal with the problem, Chen Yuan first had to figure out the reason for the matter.
Zhang Xiaolong's face was not good-looking. Most of this was because of some excessive demands from Kaideng Electronics. "They said they could terminate the contract, but they asked us, HiSilicon, to make corresponding compensation."
"How much compensation?" Chen Yuan said in confusion. If the agreement is suspended within the contract period and the compensation is generated, it is normal. However, since HiSilicon has chosen to terminate the contract, it means that it is ready for compensation. However, it seems that the amount of compensation must be very high at the moment.
Zhang Xiaolong stretched out a finger.
"Ten million?" Chen Yuan said.
Zhang Xiaolong shook his head and then pointed his finger horizontally, "One billion."
"They rob money?" Chen Yuan blurted out. These guys were afraid that they would lose money. Even if they paid 10 million, they would think it would be too much. How dare they ask for 10 billion?
"That's why I called you, they suspect that we were suspected of stealing Kaideng Electronics' EDA technology."
"Why do you say that? Didn't they do encryption measures on software themselves?" Companies that rely on selling software to earn a lot of effort in encryption of software. If half of the funds are spent on software development, the other half is encryption.
Not to mention the encryption measures made by large companies like Kaideng Electronics. They are not just copied by anyone. They are not only technical problems, but also involve a large number of projects.
"I'll go in and take a look." Chen Yuan planned to talk to them in person.
Zhang Xiaolong nodded and walked in with Chen Yuan.
The people in the conference room did not respond much to the two of them.
The white skin in the main seat still talks endlessly.
"Mr. Li, the plan is now in front of you. Either choose to pay compensation or continue to sign the contract. What you do, Kaideng Electronics can do without any blame."
"Impossible. HiSilicon has never stole your confidential technology, nor does it exist as commercial spies you said. We Chinese people have an old saying that we should pay attention to evidence in everything. If we label us for no reason, Mr. Ball, this is something I cannot accept." Li Jingliang's attitude was very firm and he also expressed his position.
"So there is nothing to talk about?" Ball lay slightly on his back, his arms spreading on the handrail, and his legs crossed on the conference table. It was so comfortable, and it seemed to treat this place as his own living room. You should know that the conference room was full of the senior management of HiSilicon, and Ball was just the person in charge sent by Kaideng Electronics to discuss.
I don't take them seriously!
"Mr. Li, in fact, Kaideng Electronics is for your own good. I have worked with HiSilicon for so many years. I think your current chip design process has been integrated with the software we launched. Now it is a stage of fierce international chip competition. Giving up using the software we provide may make HiSilicon semiconductor a lot behind, right?" Ball's eyes were full of disdain. Why did HiSilicon choose to terminate the contract with Kaideng Electronics?
Who gave them the courage?
You should know that when Haisi came to her, she hoped to buy Kaideng Electronics' software, but now she actually said that she would terminate the contract just because she terminated it?
That's not something you HiS can mention.
Only Kaideng Electronics can determine your life and death.
"You don't need to worry about this." Li Jingliang's attitude was firm.
"So you still admit that you have stolen our confidential technology? Otherwise, why do you terminate the contract with Kaideng Electronics? If you want to rely on domestic EDA software, it is far from enough to support the design of the 7nm chip?" Ball was talking in a cliché. Of course, he knew that no one could reprint a brand new EDA, but this is also the reason why the head office sent him.
We must figure out where HiSilicon comes from.
Cooperate with two other major manufacturers?
There is no possibility, you can find out this kind of industry news by asking about it.
Use domestic eca software to replace it?
Talk to you all day long!
Chinese companies always have to lag behind their local companies in technology. In Ball's view, this country will only plagiarize other people's creativity and have no one's own innovation. It is an internationally recognized joke. There is even a sense of superiority in their bones. It is a stereotyped belief that China is still the backward China decades ago.
"Mr. Ball, please pay attention to your current behavior! This is a great disrespect to our high-level executives of HiSilicon!" Sun Ye couldn't stand it anymore and angrily slapped the table. "We HiSilicon already have the EDA software independently developed. As for the competition in chip technology, you don't need to worry about it!"
"Already developed by self-developed eda?" Ball laughed contemptuously. Is it possible? It's just a joke.
"So you admit that the stealing technology is in disguise? Of course, you can't mention this matter, and don't forget that according to the data feedback received by the headquarters, you HiSilicon Group has used our pirated software a lot. If Kaideng Electronics insists on pursuing it, you will not be able to get rid of it."
Chen Yuan glanced at Zhang Xiaolong and quickly got his promise.
In fact, using pirated software is not a scandal. Not only in China, but also abroad will do so. After all, HiSilicon has more branches nationwide, and if all purchase genuine EDA, the expenses will be relatively higher.
After signing a contract with Kaideng Electronics, they must have known that they used pirated software, and they acquiesced it. After all, it is almost understandable that they have paid so much money to purchase a genuine set of versions and use a pirated set of versions.
"Old Chen, take a look at the news." Zhang Xiaolong cast his eyes and pointed at his cell phone.
Chen Yuan took a quick photo and a hot search news was pushed by his mobile phone.
"Recently, HiSilicon Semiconductor filed a cooperation termination application to Kaisen Electronics. Kaisen Electronics responded that HiSen Semiconductor is suspected of stealing commercial secrets, and has filed a lawsuit with the local court and applied for commercial sanctions against HiSen Semiconductor from the state."
"It's a bit ruthless." Chen Yuan frowned slightly.
Other senior executives also received corresponding pushes.
They all sucked in a cold breath.
If Kaideng Electronics really steals secrets and gets sanctioned, then this will be a heavy blow to HiSilicon.
At present, HiSilicon has long been trapped in the heat of water and can't stand the trouble.
"What if the software we HiSilicon used did not steal your company's confidential technology?" Chen Yuan stood up and stared at Ball.
"Yes, hand over the source code to me and I will let the headquarters verify it." Ball spread his hands and smiled.
"Don't let your mother gossip!" Chen Yuan suddenly swears and everyone present caught off guard.
"You white dog really fucking yourself as a character? And the source code, why don't you tell me to hand over the entire HiSilicon trade secret to you?"
Bang!
Ball was furious. He didn't expect this young man to talk to him like this.
"The world's eA software Kaideng Electronics dare not be the number one, but it is also better than you Huaxia. Do you think we will value your HiSilicon's software technologies!"
"Then why the hell are you getting out here?" Chen Yuan retorted directly.
Ball suddenly said speechless.
In fact, Kaideng Electronics does not want to lose HiSilicon, a partner. It is not that it really wants to help HiSilicon, but that HiSilicon and Huawei have allowed them to occupy nearly 30% of the market share in China.
If this market is lost and there is a gap, it will definitely give domestic etha a chance to breathe.
At that time, the development of China's three major factories did not want to see it.
It's like an operating system.
Is the operating system difficult to develop?
Not difficult.
But why is only microhard successful?
The main reason is that their strategic deployment is good. They have occupied the entire international market since the early stages of operating system development. In the process of boiling frogs in warm water, when China once again wanted to launch its own operating system, it was too late.
Chen Yuan's attitude is indeed inappropriate in this kind of occasion, but no one has come forward to stop him.
Because they were also unhappy about Ball.
