Chapter 645: Reaching Cooperation
Chapter 543 of the Rebirth of the Post-80s Rebirth Legend Volume 1? The split of Spreadtrum involves many, such as the foundry agreement between Singapore Chartered Semiconductor and SMIC. Although due to the maturity of process, Spreadtrum's highest-end chips are foundry by TSMC, most of the second-tier chips, such as baseband, are still managed by Singapore Chartered. SMIC is mainly responsible for the manufacturing of functional mobile chips.
The joining of Liang Mengsong's team plays a key role in improving franchised semiconductor technology. It should be noted that last year, the sales revenue of Samsung's foundry department was only US$300 million, Singapore's Franchised Semiconductor was US$1.5 billion, and TSMC was nearly US$900 million. After poaching Liang Mengsong, Samsung's foundry department's revenue reached US$500 million in less than ten years, and Zhanxun is likely to achieve annual revenue of US$100 million within ten years, while TSMC's revenue scale was around US$300 million.
In the short term, Singapore's franchise semiconductor competitor will not be TSMC, but UOM, a Taiwanese company. The revenue of US$2.8 billion last year was almost half of the franchise semiconductor. The key to UOM is 28nm technology. With this mature process technology, TSMC made a lot of money in the next four years. However, the 6 franchise wafer factories in Singapore, except for one 3oonm, are all 2oonm production lines. This production line in China is responsible for most of the loans, and it is also a 3oonm production line. As for production technology, Franchise semiconductor has put into production of 4onm process products, and the 32nm process technology has also been improved. I believe that the 28nm process technology can be quickly handled under the leadership of Liang Mengsong's team. The accumulation is different. Singapore's franchise is still much stronger than Samsung, and the exhibition should not be worse than Samsung semiconductor.
As for the exhibition of SMIC, there is no need to report too much hope in the short term. The lack of key technologies, insufficient accumulation, and talent reserves are all the reasons that restrict SMIC.
There are still many problems in the semiconductor foundry industry, but unfortunately Zhou Shi knows nothing about this. Moreover, Singapore's Chartered Semiconductor is a member of the ibm General Technology Alliance, and the direction of the major technology development has long been decided. Zhou Shi has no other way to help them except to provide them with financial support and provide them with technical support to poach people.
In the negotiations of Huawei, the procurement of Spreadtrum tablet chips suddenly increased, and the corresponding Android system companies consulted about tablets using Android. Seeing that Guokr and Apple entered this industry one after another, and sales and profits rose sharply, some other companies finally reacted and started to try. However, it was still much slower than the launch of Nut Tablets. Worried about the long night and dreams, Huawei quickly reached an agreement with Spreadtrum on the investment and investment, and calculated it with a valuation of 600 million US dollars, using patent plus cash.
Spreadtrum Communications has a 19.9% equity stake. This may be the largest investment in Huawei's history. Zhou Shi didn't know if the investment he accepted Huawei this time was right. This company is particularly magical and didn't know if it will be implicated in the future. A few years later, it was boycotted by many countries. If it was just commercial competition, Zhou Shi believed that it would not be like that, just like he didn't believe that Huawei is a pure private enterprise. However, Huawei's competitiveness is better than that of most European and American telecommunications companies. He still believed it very much.
As soon as Huawei Investment Showcase signed the agreement, the news spread and suddenly became excited. Li Yinan stood at the front again. The media didn't care who was the boss behind the scenes. The company's big boss was their focus. Li Yinan, a technology genius specially created, once again ignited the enthusiasm of the public.
Li Yinan, former successor of Huawei, founder of Harbor Network, founder of Android Systems Company, head of Android Development, former chairman of Datang Telecom, and chairman of Spreadtrum Communications. A series of achievements and names are very intimidating.
"The re-start of a tech genius."
"After the harbor, we will continue our relationship!"
"The most powerful technology entrepreneur in China!"
"The story that Li Yinan and Ren Zhengfei have to tell!"
"New breakthrough in the domestic semiconductor industry!"
"The strongest semiconductor design company in China!"
Countless media magazines online and offline interviewed this, including Ren Zhengfei and Li Yinan, who were surrounded by reporters and were unable to get out. CCTV interviewed the two one after another, and this news even appeared in the focus interview. The results of the broadcast news were also widely reported at this moment. Due to the cooperation of fruit shell nuts, the broadcast news, which had not been actively promoted, shining brightly at this moment.
The past and present of Spreadtrum Communications have also been reported clearly. After the consortium with the Four Symbol Fund privatized Spreadtrum, such a huge breakthrough was made in just two years, which is simply a miracle of investment. As for how Li Yinan became the chairman of Spreadtrum, this is not worth telling outsiders. Apart from very professional financial reporters, not many people are concerned about it.
"Xiao Zhou, Zhanxun wants to invest, why don't you look for me?" Lenovo's Mr. Liu is a sensible person who knows the relationship between Zhanxun and Zhou Shi.
"This incident has many reasons and influenced it. First, the Android system was privatized again. Huawei originally disagreed, and it was a condition for Spreadtrum to let them invest."
"Don't Lenovo have this opportunity?" Mr. Liu
"Huawei has the technology and patents we need. As for Lenovo..." Zhou Shi did not say, but the meaning was obvious. What do you have?
"Isn't Lenovo?" Old Liu didn't seem to understand
"Lenovo's patents cannot meet our requirements! And I never need a simple financial investor..." Zhou Shi didn't say that if we can't give us enough help, there is no need to accept investment. If Lenovo does not purchase Spreadtrum chips because Zhou Shi does not accept investment, it can only mean that the company's management has a problem. However, it is hard to say. The domestic superstructure has always had the fine tradition of "rather with foreigners than with domestic slaves". Mr. Liu is not a kind man and a woman. Yang Yuanqing's ability is obviously not enough to become a leader in domestic high-tech enterprises.
"In addition, in the agreement we reached, there is a promise that we will not make a profit within three years and will not go public within five years. We will focus on the accumulation and research of technology... If Lenovo has this idea, we can talk about it..." Zhou Shi certainly would not refuse impulsively, or say some hurtful words, which would make his own choice more appropriate.
"Concentrate on technology research? Let me think about it..." Mr. Liu felt uncomfortable when he heard these words. The three words trade, industry and technology are almost his representatives. It seems that his life is also limited to it and it is difficult to get rid of it. He is always in trade, industry and it is not time to develop technology.
"Of course, you figured it out and you can find me at any time." Zhou Shi
