Chapter 257 Cooperative Development of EDA
Just as many countries imposed sanctions on Xinghai Technology, something unexpected happened suddenly.
A rumor has spread on the European Internet, saying that the Galileo global satellite navigation system poisoning incident in 2019 and the smart virus attack incident that broke out in many European countries last year were dominated by Xinghai Technology.
One stone stirs up a thousand layers of waves!
European media reported on this extensively, and then American media followed up. Within 24 hours, global public opinion was in an uproar.
Xinghai Technology immediately held a press conference. Press spokesperson Han Zijin scolded the media with a stern reprimand: "This is completely despicable and shameless malicious slander!
We have sent a team of experts to investigate and track the rumor publishers and will take legal measures against those unscrupulous media…”
Xinghai Technology's press conference did not play much role in preventing the spread of rumors.
Rumors stop at the wise.
But there are not so many wise men in real life. Most of them are ordinary people. Ordinary people believe that there is no wind and no wind comes. They believe what they see, and rarely pursue the truth of the facts.
As this incident continues to ferment in Europe and the United States, Xinghai Technology's reputation has been greatly hit.
At the same time, people protested and toured in the Netherlands and Spain, requiring the government to take stricter sanctions on Xinghai Technology.
Just in the midst of hustle and bustle, on April 1st, the European Commission issued a huge fine to Xinghai Technology: 2.186 billion euros.
It is equivalent to RMB 17 billion.
This figure is far beyond the expected maximum of 1.5 billion euros.
Of course, although the price has been offered, the price has been put on the ground and there is still room for discussion on the specific fine, and it is still a long time before the actual fine is paid!
Just like Google, it was fined 4.3 billion euros in 2018. After the negotiations failed, the litigation proceedings began in 2019. It was not until 2020 that the court formally started. During the trial, the two sides began to negotiate again. Finally, Google reached an agreement with the European Commission at the end of last year.
However, when the news reached the domestic Internet, countless netizens naturally stood up for Xinghai Technology.
Han Zijin said in an interview with reporters: "We are negotiating with the European Commission on this matter..."

Xinghai Artificial Intelligence Technology Laboratory, No. 1018 Feiyang Avenue, Minxi District.
Faced with the sudden turn of the Western countries, Chen Xu was also very surprised at the beginning.
With the intelligent virus, the sword of Damocles hanging above their heads, how dare they ban Xinghai Technology in a comprehensive manner? Aren’t they afraid that his thunderous anger will completely paralyze their country’s network?
What he never expected was that the United States actually developed a program called Blue Spider similar to that of Xiaobai.
The "Blue Spider" is very smart. After Turing test, his IQ has reached the 9-year-old standard.
Don't underestimate 9 years old, this is already very, very scary.
You should know that the IQ of ordinary Ai is only 3 to 4 years old. With every increase of one year, Ai's logical ability will be improved exponentially, and the work that can be completed instead of humans will continue to increase. Computer terminal::/
And 9 years old is a completely overturning change.
Because a 3-4-year-old child, no matter how you train it, he will never be able to run, extract heavy objects, wash clothes, cook, etc.; but it is different at the age of 9. After rigorous training, he can do much more things. : :
Especially ai, its capabilities will be magnified hundreds or thousands of times!
He has done experiments and without human intervention, the smart virus can't beat the Blue Spider.
From this point of view, the United States must have conducted very strict training on blue spiders.
However, "ai" is always "ai", and it can never get rid of the word "artificial".
It is completely incomparable to a truly intelligent life like Xiaobai. Its growth is fixed at the age of 9 and it cannot become a true intelligent life.
Because intelligent life is not created at all, it comes from accident.
It is precisely because of the blue spider that Western countries do not take smart viruses seriously, but also splash dirty water on Xinghai Technology.
"These politicians are really shameless. You helped them solve the navigation satellite virus in the past, but now you are not grateful, you can still put some damages!"
Eminick put down his phone angrily and said, "If you have psychological disorders, then let me do it. Anyway, I did this before, so I guarantee that they will pay the price for what they say."
Chen Xu shook his head, "Using this method to attack the network system of European and American countries is the worst way to do so. If you are not careful, you can easily lead us to a doom."
What's more, doing this is to kill a thousand enemies and lose 800 yourself, which is equivalent to taking the initiative to give up the European and American markets, which is not worth it at all.
The best way to truly defeat a person is to psychologically…”
After Chen Xu's guidance, Eminick temporarily gave up his intention to use viruses to attack European and American networks.
Just as the two were chatting, Zhou Donglin, director of the Electronic Integration Department of Xinghai Technology, came over, and a middle-aged man in his 40s was following him.
Zhou Donglin is a microelectronicist with a US nationality. He is 65 years old this year. He graduated from the Department of Electrical Engineering of Moss Bay University in 1978. He went to the University of California, Berkeley in 1979 and received his doctorate degree from the University of California, Berkeley in 1983 at the age of 26.
In 2004, he was elected as an academician of the American Academy of Engineering Sciences, served as an honorary professor at the Institute of Microelectronics of the Qing University in 2007, and was elected as a foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2017, and won the United States National Technology and Innovation Award in 2020.
At the same time, Zhou Donglin has served as a technical consultant to Unigroup and Haishin Group. He is a true scholar and has been widely praised at home and even internationally.
Last year, Xinghai Technology established the Electronic Integration Department, and Chen Xu specially invited him to come and take charge of the overall situation.
As for top figures like Zhou Donglin, Xinghai Technology has no less than 20 top figures.
"Mr. Chen, let me introduce you to you. This is Liu Weiping, General Manager Liu from Huada Jiutian."
Huada Jiutian is the largest eca software development company in China.
EDA is electronic design automation. Its concept is very broad. If you want to design chips, you cannot do without EDA tools.
In various fields involving electronic automation, such as machinery, smartphones, communication equipment, aerospace, biomedicine, etc., they all need to use EDA technology to complete the design of specific target chips. It can be said that it is the upstream and basic foundation of the upstream of the industrial chain.
"Hello, I have long admired Daming."
"Mr. Chen, please be polite~"
"Please sit..."
After a few greetings, I sat down separately. Dr. Zhou Donglin said: "Mr. Liu came here this time mainly to cooperate with our company to develop domestic eeda."
"Yes, haha~" Chen Xu said with a smile.
EDA has high technical barriers, strong dependence on talents in industrial development, and is also a typical basic industry with long investment cycles and slow results.
There are only less than 2,000 talents engaged in EDA research and development in China, of which only about 500 are engaged in domestic EDA research and development.
As the leading domestic industry, Huada Jiutian probably has a hundred and ten talents. As for how many of them are developed by domestic EDA, I don’t know.
It is simply a joke to say that it is working with Xinghai to develop EDA with such a few people.
Chapter completed!
