It is reported that millet production investment fund to invest nearly two months of 10 semiconductor companies and semiconductor companies its cumulative investment but 20 semiconductor companies two months of investment over the past few years the semiconductor business investment, seems to show it We are eager to strengthen their own core technology R & D capability, which is also its main short board.
Millet phone with more than two years to achieve the world's third, made the first, but because of the short board core technology research and development capabilities leading to it quickly Huawei beyond, and since then never failed to regain the brilliant achievements.
Huawei cell phone can quickly go beyond the small Mi Qiaqia that it owns core technology, chip it developed Hass Kirin has reached world-class level, relying on its own core technology to quickly launch commercial 4G mobile phone in the early 4G Huawei, while millet is because the Qualcomm partnership fades until the second half of 2014, before the introduction of 4G mobile phone.
2019 China Commercial 5G, Huawei launched the first mobile phone 5G SOC chips, ahead of other chip companies three months, it was quickly followed by Huawei to regain the lead in 5G mobile phone market, Huawei occupy the first place in China 5G mobile phone market in the fourth quarter 2019, this all proves the importance of core technology.
Millet had tried to make breakthroughs in core technology, which was established in cooperation with the core technology research and development of electronic pineal mobile processor, but after the introduction of the surging S1 processor no longer launch new chips, then split up Nanjing e-pinecone fish semiconductors. Difficult development of mobile phone chips, mobile phone chip development that is extremely difficult and often takes nearly a decade to come to fruition, but millet is the only research and development of mobile processors are difficult to continue to achieve results, the difficulty of developing mobile phones SOC chip is even greater.
The difficulty of self-developed chip is too big, too long achievements should be an important reason not to continue to promote the pineal millet research and development of mobile phone chips, but now millet nearly 200 billion yuan in revenue, it is also among the world's top 500, not have their own core technology, after all, hard to go too far.
A company to have its own unique innovation and technology, in addition to independent research and development, in cooperation with the industry chain is also a way. Apple can become a smart phone industry innovation leader on its preferential access to innovation and technology industry chain inseparable, China's vivo also through fingerprint recognition technology in cooperation with the Department of Science and Technology R & D top screen to obtain a priority, perhaps by these inspired millet in order to get their priorities right to supply by investing in a number of semiconductor companies promising.
Since the establishment of China's IC industry fund in 2014, strongly supported the development of the domestic chip industry, China's chip companies since that time have sprung up, but the chip industry is a long cycle industry, affected by new outbreaks of pneumonia, these chips a large number of enterprises shortage of funds phenomenon, millet provides an opportunity for investment in these chip companies.
Investment strategy and millet ecosystem similar to millet investment of nearly 20 chip companies do not seek a controlling stake, said its partner millet production of investment cast semiconductor companies still operate its own right, millet does not determine the direction of their development, even part of the semiconductor business also received millet rival Huawei's investment, millet visible for semiconductor business investment remains highly open strategy.
Today, millet has been more than just a phone company, its ecological chain enterprises have invested more than one hundred, investment in various sectors of the semiconductor business also helps these companies to provide support for the ecological chain millet companies to form mutually supportive relationship, which may be after the semiconductor industry has made technological breakthroughs, get priority right to supply these semiconductor companies will promote the millet own innovation a higher level.
