In Pengcheng, in an apartment building, three or five men were sitting in a room in a mess.

Li Haidong, who is already 30 years old, is a returnee doctor. He graduated from MIT and worked at Synopsys Technology for three months. Everything was good, but he finally got his brains and chose to return home. At that time, many classmates or friends in the United States advised him to stay in the United States and got a green card.

But Li Donghai returned the green card to the United States and chose to return to China to start a business.

Now his situation is an entrepreneur. He returned to China and found several friends to discuss and start a business together.

"In Homer's epic "Iliad", the ancient Greek god of war Achilles was invulnerable to swords and guns, dominating Greece with a half-man and half-god. But he had a fatal weakness: his heel was vulnerable, because it was the only place where he was not soaked in the divine water. In the end, he also died in the Trojan War because of this weakness."

Li Haidong told several partners about this Western legend. After a moment, he said: "In the long river of history, the 'Achilles Heel' has also become a warning to people: beware of their weaknesses at all times. Now, industrial software has become the 'Achilles Heel' of my country's manufacturing industry development. This is definitely not a joke or an exaggeration."

At this moment, Li Haidong and several of his friends and partners discussed and decided to jointly establish a technology company. After thinking about the name, it was called "Jingchuang Technology", which means "to keep improving, innovation continues to stop." There is no doubt that their startup company can be seen from Li Haidong's comments just now.

Obviously belongs to the field of industrial software.

"What specific areas are they used for? Industrial software has many categories, industrial design software, mechanical and product design software, processing and programming software, simulation and analysis software, etc...."

Hearing one of the friends’ inquiries, Li Haidong said without hesitation: “Of course our startup company makes eeda software!”

Another friend nodded: "Yes, you just gave up New Cisco's high salary and chose to start a business. You are doing the eda industry."

The so-called industrial software is software that is specifically used or mainly used in the industrial field to improve the R&D, manufacturing, production management level and industrial management performance of industrial enterprises. This is the "brain" of modern industrial equipment, which shows the importance of industrial software.

For example, various EDA software in the chip industry chain, Cad software in the field of mechanical design, etc.

With the rise of computers, EDA manufacturers have emerged one after another. After more than 20 years of acquisitions and mergers, there are only three giants in the EDA field, namely Synopsy, Candene and Mentor. Currently, the three of them occupy more than 90% of the EDA software market.

The real fatal problem is that the current contribution of domestic EDA tools in the entire chip design process is almost zero, which can be said to be annihilated.

For system manufacturers, if chips are bullets and grains, then chip etymology tools are tools for making bullets and processing grains. The market may not be big, but it cannot stand this is a fatal thing. Its status as a lithographer in the semiconductor industry is no less than that in the semiconductor industry.

Today's EDA companies mainly sell EDA tools to downstream customers, and their revenue sources mainly rely on certificate authorization fees, just like using office software, antivirus software or other software requires registration of serial numbers.

However, this authorization certificate from EDA is quite expensive.

How expensive is it?

In 2008, Lens Semiconductor spent US$24.8 million at a time, or approximately RMB 170 million.

Now we can still see the evaluation of the Lens Semiconductor's APP processor division's head on the official website of Kaideng Electronics: From a small payload of 3 million to the design of hundreds of millions of departments, we can easily and effectively ensure the system functions.

In early 2009 this year, Synopsys Technology, another major industry giant, also reached its primary strategic partner with Lens Semiconductor.

But if EDA is suspended, how much impact will it have on the current Lens Semiconductor and even the Costa çare?

At present, the existing software of Lens Semiconductor can still be used during the validity period. If it is suspended, it will have two impacts. The first is that there is no technical support. If there is a problem, you need to explore it yourself. The second is that there is no new version of software in the future. The current semiconductor process evolution speed is extremely fast, almost one generation difference in one year and a half to two years. The emergence of new generation chips requires an updated version of eda software.

Therefore, assuming that BlueSecond's EDA tool is discontinued and even IC design cannot be used, it will inevitably lead to the Costa delle of the Blue Sky being unable to launch the next generation of smartphone products.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Americans are determined to kill the Costa ça, there are n ways.

But perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Americans are so confident that they "raise pigs". From the perspective of Americans, there is no need to panic. If you stop offering, you will be disabled.

Have you done it? Then the wafer purification can be used to scoop; this has also made a breakthrough? Then the chip manufacturing can be used to scoop; what? This has also made a breakthrough? Then the lithography machine can be used to scoop...

If any link is stuck, a chip cannot be produced smoothly.

From this we can see how tight the integrated circuit industry is. After breaking through a big mountain, there is a larger mountain waiting behind it.

Finally, there is ultimate darkness, facing the suppression of the world overlords with the power of the country.

It is not unreasonable that China's semiconductor industry has been working hard for so long.

"I can pay a hundred thousand quick money."

"I have 150,000."

"I have eighty thousand."

"I can pay 120,000."

At this moment, Li Haidong and several friends and partners are discussing Jingchuang Technology's career. The few people pieced together less than 500,000...

"It's not enough, you have to find a venture capital company to raise funds." Li Haidong said with a wry smile.

"If investors hear us say we want to do EDA, they probably think we are crazy..." A partner laughed and laughed at himself.

Nowadays, domestic eda industrial software has almost been wiped out and there is no hope. As long as investors are not fools or lunatics, they generally cannot spend money on Li Haidong's team.

"Hey, do you know that the most popular VC world in this period is Shengfeng Capital, which has just been established recently?" Just as this group of young people who are ambitious but have no choice but to be helpless because of their shortness of money, one of the partners suddenly said.

"Shengfeng Capital?"

"Yes, it's the investment fund established by Luo Sheng." The partner nodded repeatedly, and then kept smacking his lips: "It's worthy of being my idol. Shengfeng Capital is really exaggerated. According to the content of the news reports, it has raised more than 300 billion yuan of capital. My god, 300 billion yuan, and it also has a background in the State-owned Assets Office and Wall Street."

For those who want to start a business, if you want to do a business, you must understand the information of the investment community. If you can’t attract venture capital, it’s even more impossible to find a bank loan. Banks are not interested in small and medium-sized startups at all, especially those who do technology entrepreneurship. The risk is almost 99% lost. Banks usually make achievements and only when they see that you are not short of money will come to you to lend money.

As long as you understand the news from the investment world, it is impossible not to know Shengfeng Capital, which has been in the prime of its investment world recently.

"Then give it a try."

Li Haidong immediately made a decision. He was the leader in the startup company Jingchuang Technology, and the company's top-level design has largely referenced Luo Sheng's Blue Star Technology.

The limited partnership architecture is adopted. Nowadays, companies are popular with limited partnership architecture. Although there were only a few before, they are now caused by Luo Sheng.

Especially for startups in the IT field, there are countless followers.

However, no founder can be as strong as Luo Sheng. You should know that investors are enough to pay money from him. Don’t worry about anything else, don’t ask anything, and don’t think about anything.

Countless entrepreneurs dream of doing things, but when facing investors, they basically call them dad.

Li Haidong and several partners immediately started to act. First, they visited Shengfeng Capital's official website online, then found the consultation number, and then called.

It turned out that it couldn't be done at all because at the same time, there were too many people calling.

I had no choice but to seek customer service help from the official website, and I found that online customer service was also busy and needed to queue up.

After struggling for more than a long time, I finally figured out that Shengfeng Capital is a capital management institution for science and technology investment, that is, a startup company focusing on investing in science and technology fields.

No investment in other finance, real estate, etc.

This made Li Haidong and others extremely excited. This venture capital agency is simply the only one. No wonder the customer service phone number was blown up, and the online customer service was also waiting for information.
