Chapter 173 Sold by the company
Mr. Ren pondered for a long time, and finally looked at He Boting, the president of Haisi.
He Boting immediately understood, turned to Kang Chi and asked: “Mr. Kang, is it convenient for us to try this software?”
Although Daqin Optics has released two sensors in succession, it is obviously not possible for Huawei’s people to be completely reassured by Kang Chi’s words alone for such a major matter.
The request for trial is actually very reasonable, but the incident happened suddenly, and Kang Chi did not have time to parse the plotter software, so he could only shake his head and say:
”Sorry, I don’t provide trial for the time being. If you are really worried, you can give me a GDSII file, and I will help you complete the design verification within an hour.”
One hour? He Boting was shocked again, and immediately went out to call the engineers of Haisi and asked them to find a chip design drawing and send it over.
In order to prevent the chip design from being too perfect and causing Kang Chi to be unable to find faults, she also asked the engineers to modify the design drawings and deliberately created several design flaws.
It took nearly two hours to go back and forth.
While Kang Chi was verifying their drawings, Zhang Qing took the four CEOs for a simple tour of Datang Heavy Industry.
When they came back, Kang Chi had returned to the reception room to wait for them.
”Is Mr. Kang done?”
”Yes, I have replied according to the email address. Your engineers should have been checking it.”
He Boting nodded and raised her wrist to check the time.
At this time, it was actually only more than 40 minutes since Haisi’s engineers sent the drawings to Kang Chi.
If you count the time for downloading the drawings and modifying and uploading them, Kang Chi’s actual verification process took less than 30 minutes!
This is mainly because they are still a little worried about Kang Chi. The drawing they sent is a relatively simple design of Honghu TV chip, which can be verified and modified much faster.
While they were chatting, the administrative staff added some cakes to the conference room so that everyone could fill their stomachs. About half an hour later, He Boting finally received a call from the engineer.
”Mr. He! How did they do it?” The engineer on the other end of the phone shouted excitedly, “It’s only been half an hour. Not only did they find the six defects we deliberately created, but they also found two additional problems that we haven’t found yet. What’s more exaggerated is that they also put forward nine design optimization suggestions!”
Although he had enough psychological expectations, He Boting was still dumbfounded when he heard the result.
“Are you sure? Do you want to check it again?”
”Well, we are rechecking and further verifying, but I feel the results should be the same.”
”We created those six design flaws ourselves. I guarantee that they cannot be found using EDA, but they not only found them in such a short time, but also posted the correct answers. So I think the software you mentioned should be real.”
”Although the other nine optimization suggestions have not been verified yet, one of them happens to be consistent with the direction we discussed in the meeting two days ago. The rest I think the general direction is fine. ”
”I understand. You continue to verify and report immediately if there is any situation.”
After hanging up the phone, He Boting returned to the conference room, nodded to Mr. Ren and others, and finally looked at Kang Chi:
”Verification is fine, but I have two questions here.”
Kang Chi smiled: “Mr. He, please ask.”
”The first question is, what is the charging method and standard for your software?”
”It’s charged by time, one hundred per account per hour.” Kang Chi answered directly.
”One hundred per hour?”
The four CEOs were a little surprised after hearing this.
It’s not expensive,
It’s too cheap!
These days, Internet cafes with better environments charge twenty or thirty per hour, right?
If an employee uses this software, works 10 hours a day and 24 days a month, he will need to pay 24,000 software service fees.
Haisi currently has more than 7,000 employees, of which nearly 4,000 are back-end design engineers. After transferring 90% to Dahan Xinye, there are only more than 400 left.
Adding the original more than 1,500 front-end designers, it means that there will be almost 2,000 employees in the future.If workers want to use this software, they will have to pay 560 million yuan in service fees every year.
This may not seem cheap, but it brings ten times the work efficiency. The labor cost and office cost saved alone are an astronomical figure.
Moreover, efficiency is priceless! This is the strongest guarantee for the company to maintain its leading position.
”If you can trust me and be the pioneer like the mobile phone lens, then I will give you this price, and I will only charge you for electricity and equipment fees.”
Mr. Kang is righteous! He Boting was overjoyed and said with a smile: “Mr. Kang is very kind!”
”But I have one last question… After we complete the job transfer training and personnel handover you proposed, how long will it take for you to provide us with this software service? Can you agree on a specific date?”
Kang Chi thought for a moment before answering: “It will probably take about half a year…”
”But don’t worry, even if you do nothing in the first half of the year and just train my employees, I guarantee that you can use my software in the second half of the year and complete a year’s workload in one month.”
”If domestic wafers If the factory can keep up with your design, there is still hope that we can be on par with Qualcomm next year, not to mention beating Qualcomm! ”
Mr. Ren laughed and said, “Then I’ll take Mr. Kang’s good words.”
After the major direction of cooperation was finalized, the next thing was some minor matters. The next day they signed an agreement with Dahan Xinye. If Dahan Xinye could not provide the software service after half a year, Kang Chi would be responsible for all the losses caused by Haisi.
If Dahan Xinye provided the software, but Haisi did not provide Dahan Xinye with more than 3,000 front-end engineers, it would also have to compensate Dahan Xinye 300 million.
After He Boting returned, he immediately stopped all unimportant R&D projects of Haisi and started large-scale job transfer training.
Faced with He Boting’s big move, Haisi’s R&D team was a little confused, especially those back-end designers, who strongly resisted at the beginning.
After all, they were doing well, and the company suddenly said that this position was no longer needed and we would train you to change positions. Most people would find it difficult to accept.
So the HR department talked to them one by one, confessed directly that they would be replaced by software, and gave them two choices.
If they were unwilling to accept the transfer training, they would face layoffs and find a new job in the future. Even if they found a new job, it would probably take less than one or two years for them to be eliminated and unemployed.
If they did not want to be laid off, they would sign a labor contract with Dahan Xinye and get the opportunity to receive professional transfer training from Haisi. After passing the assessment, the treatment at Dahan Xinye could still be maintained at the previous level.
If they failed to pass the assessment after the training, sorry, Dahan Xinye would not want them.
These people only then realized that they had been sold by the company…
However,
It was a good sale! Although the basic treatment of Kangchi Company is just the normal level in the industry, its other benefits are well-known in the industry, especially the double overtime pay, which is really good! So these people all honestly and seriously participated in the job transfer training, fearing that they would not be able to pass the assessment of Dahan Xinye after the training…
