As the dean of the Dragon Academy and a member of the scientific research field himself, Liu Zhongmin can completely understand his reluctance to hand over the results to the enemy for use.
Especially young people like Xu Zhou who are already very patriotic and hostile to the United States.
Handing over Qinglong EDA in this way is like handing over your own child to an enemy to raise.
Not to mention Xu Zhou, even Liu Zhongmin himself felt unwilling to accept the plan when he heard about it.
Therefore, when this plan was born, Liu Zhongmin had only one condition, and that was that Xu Zhou must agree.
No matter what, you can't chill your own people's hearts.
Xu Zhou understood all the meaning at once.
The hegemony of the United States is well known internationally, which stems from the United States' strong national defense and military strength.
Although the Dragon Kingdom is developing rapidly now, it has not yet reached the stage where it can really take a stand.
So now if we want to bring back those compatriots, we must let the United States ask for help from the Dragon State.
All things considered, the fundamental reason is that the Dragon Kingdom has been weak for a long time and its foundation is still too poor.
Although we have been catching up in the past few decades, some gaps cannot be bridged in a short time.
After thinking about this, Xu Zhou smiled and said:
"Dean, I know what you are worried about, but from the time I developed this technology, its purpose has been to benefit the people and make some contributions to the strength of the motherland."
"So these are my original intentions. If Qinglong's authorization can be exchanged for compatriots to come back and build the motherland, it will not be considered a violation."
After saying this, Liu Zhongmin didn't know how to express his gratitude.
I can only say with excitement and emotion:
"Xiao Xu, we are so lucky to have a pillar like you in the Dragon Kingdom!"
"Don't say that, Dean. Compared with me, those seniors are the real warriors."
As he spoke, Xu Zhou looked at a black and white photo of the earliest academicians of the Academy of Dragon Science hanging on the wall.
Later, Liu Zhongmin briefly explained the product release process. Although Xu Zhou did not need to participate, knowing it was an explanation.
…
Synopsys headquarters building in the United States.
Gray sat in the office looking a little anxious.
He kept refreshing his mailbox, as if waiting for someone's email.
"Damn it, Shangxin has been patient for too long this time, right? I will meet with the president in two days. If I can't explain clearly by then, my position should be replaced!"
After saying that, he couldn't help but click refresh a few times, but there were still no new emails.
Five days have passed since the last video conference. During this time, he has been waiting for SMIC to contact him.
He has even thought about the response. As soon as Shangxin comes to contact him, he will increase the price by ten points, which is considered as punishment for Shangxin's behavior.
But the reality was not what he thought, after the meeting that day.
Longguo didn't make any moves, and SMIC was also extremely quiet.
Even after he arranged for people to spread the news internationally that Synopsys had terminated its contract with SMIC, implying that SMIC would not have independent development and design capabilities in the future, SMIC had no response at all.
He didn't even issue a statement, which made him feel very abnormal!
And now a full five days have passed, and there is still no movement from SMIC!
Now Gray feels that he is riding a tiger, so he is asked to lower his head to contact Shang Xin?
This is impossible. In all previous contacts, Synopsys has never been at a disadvantage. How could he be so embarrassed?
But if he kept waiting like this, he felt uneasy.
Just then one of Gray's assistants walked in.
"Manager, I have just contacted and confirmed again. The other two companies have not received any contact from SMIC."
“What about some of the other small manufacturers?”
"We have already warned Sakura, and we have also communicated with capable manufacturers in the EU, and at the same time provided necessary reminders through the Security Bureau."
After hearing this, Gray eased his inner uneasiness a little.
He let out a long breath and waved people away.
"Longguo... SMIC... all manufacturers are bound together by us. I want to see how long you can persist in vain!"
In his view, among all possibilities, the least likely to succeed is that SMIC has its own EDA production capabilities.
Even if the platform is built, how to solve the problem of database? A data platform that cannot be continuously updated and iterated is just an empty shelf.
Just when he felt relieved, the office door was slammed open.
Gray was frightened by the loud noise. After seeing who was coming clearly, he cursed angrily:
"Shet! George! I think you can get my forgiveness if you kneel down and apologize immediately!"
Assistant George looked panicked and ignored his words:
"Something happened, something happened! Manager Gray, something big happened!"
Gray immediately controlled his emotions when he saw the expressions of his men. He knew that his assistant would not be so panicked if something big hadn't happened.
"Tell me, what happened?"
George calmed down for a moment, then organized himself and said:
"It's Long Guo, it's SMIC! SMIC has spoken out. They will release a brand new EDA product tonight, the morning of Long Guo, to replace our Synopsys!"
boom! !
Gray felt a loud noise in his head, as if a nuclear bomb had exploded in his mind.
For a moment, his breathing became disordered and he felt dizzy.
After a long while, he took a few deep breaths and said with a ferocious expression:
"Impossible! All possibilities are available, except that it is impossible for SMIC to develop EDA by itself! They cannot have such technology, how can they solve the database problem!"
George also looked confused. If you ask me, I don’t know.
But he still said:
"Manager, the specific situation has not been explained yet, but I think tonight is the time to reveal the answer."
Gray managed to calm down.
George is right, it’s useless to say anything now. We can only wait until night to see what kind of medicine Shangxin is selling!
"That's right. Shangxin must be bluffing... Could it be that there is a traitor on our side?"
"That's not right. The core content of each company's products is clear at a glance. It will be impossible to hide it unless they want to face sanctions from the United States."
Gray muttered to himself, ruling out known possibilities.
But in the end, to his despair, after eliminating all the impossibilities, the last option that looked least likely to succeed actually became the most likely!
"I hope it's not what I worry about, otherwise we at Synopsys will face an unprecedented crisis. Maybe it will be the end of the company."
…
On the other side, in the No. 1 conference hall of the SMIC International Headquarters Building.
Although it is already late at night, there are still dozens of staff working overtime to complete the layout of the site, even if they stay up all night.
Because early the next morning, the largest press conference in SMIC’s history and the most comprehensive media invitation will be held here!
