Global monopoly of technology

The material regulations compiled by Qin Weimu are very clear, and the key points are very obvious. Among them, it also highlights the current 65 semiconductor companies in China. These semiconductor manufacturers appearing in this material report can be said to be the best semiconductor companies in China so far. Up.

Of course, it is only relative to the domestic.

Among them, the top ten semiconductor companies are mainly engaged in integrated circuit design, namely Lens Semiconductor, Ziguang Zhanrui, and Huada Semiconductor.

There is no doubt that Lens Semiconductor, which was established in 2004 and has been around for five years, is currently the largest and most powerful IC design company in China, and there is no one in China.

This company was established by a joint venture between Côte d'Azur and Huawei. The R&D investment in the first year was US$500 million, and the investment this year has reached US$3.5 billion a year.

Because according to the agreement, Wah wants to spend 15% of its sales for research and development, of which IC design accounts for about 34% of R&D investment, which means that Lens Semiconductor’s R&D investment in IC design this year has reached 1.19 billion The US dollar, excluding exchange rate changes, is 8.12 billion yuan.

At present, the leading semiconductor companies in China have less than half of this amount in a year's turnover. Of course, there is no doubt that Lens Semiconductor has become the leader in the domestic integrated circuit field, but it is limited to IC design. .

From the R&D investment in the past five years, we can see the degree of money burn in the semiconductor industry, and even so, Lens Semiconductor is only the strongest in China, and it is actually a younger brother in the world.

At present, the only product that can be obtained is the AP processor and accelerator chip of the Azure mobile phone supplied to the Blue Coast, and the communication baseband is still authorized by Qualcomm.

It is worth mentioning that the contract with Qualcomm's authorized patent cooperation will expire next year.

Qualcomm has almost regretted the rhythm of its greed. The total sales of Azure mobile phones have now exceeded 40 million units. In other words, in the past three years, Qualcomm has been scammed by a business-to-betting agreement and lost at least one billion US dollars. paragraph.

This money could have been easily earned by lying down...

Qualcomm was once angry with self-doubt by this cheating business gambling agreement.

In addition, the sales of Azure series smartphones under the Cote d’Azur have been rising. For the first time this year, the sales volume in the first quarter of 2009 achieved a single quarter shipment exceeding 10 million units, excluding subsequent growth. The volume can reach 40 million units, which can surpass the total sales of the past three years combined.

This growth trend is too terrifying. Although it is very angry for Qualcomm, it is very excited. It has already started gearing up and looking forward to it.

Isn't the contract expired right now?

Of course excited!

Well, the next-generation authorization plan is getting better. Qualcomm vowed to take back all the losses it had suffered before. If you don't eat into a big fat man, I'm sorry for the intestines of the past three years.

Luo Sheng continued to browse the top ten semiconductor manufacturers, top ten semiconductor packaging and testing manufacturers, top ten semiconductor power device manufacturers, top ten semiconductor material manufacturers, and top five semiconductor equipment manufacturers.

All kinds of big guys sound like very strong, but in fact, if you get an international PK, there will be no one that can play, but it's just a tall one among the short ones. This is also nothing.

Moreover, most of these manufacturers are joint ventures with foreign-invested status, and they have introduced foreign technologies that are backward. Otherwise, the domestic semiconductor business may be worse than this.

It can be seen that there is a long way to go in the semiconductor industry in China in the field of integrated circuits.

After reading the materials for ten minutes, Luo Sheng closed the file, thought for a moment and said: "Lens Semiconductor is currently the leader in IC design, so continue to work in this field until it becomes the world leader. We do IC design, and then the Riviera Lab makes equipment. The lithography machine is the key point, and we must break the Dutch blockade at any cost. There is also..."

Luo Sheng thought further. After a while, he turned his head and looked at Qin Weimu, who had already arranged his clothes: "...There is also chip manufacturing. Wafer purification is also chemical technology, plus a front-end industrial software EDA. These key areas are all handed over to the Azure Coast Laboratory to do it, and they must be knocked out. As for other links, we will support domestic enterprises and bring a group of younger brothers out. Of course, we also need to do chip manufacturing, wafer purification, and industrial software. Through Shengfeng Capital to support the development of other enterprises."

Shengfeng Capital has raised a huge amount of 300 billion yuan of funds, at least one-third or even half of it will be used to build the semiconductor business first, and the remaining money will be used to invest in other fields, such as life genetic engineering, new materials Wait for these frontier hot areas.

Anyway, when there is no money, it is enough to fool investors.

Shengfeng Capital, which has a large amount of 300 billion yuan of funds, is indeed too much money, but it is still difficult to build a technology that can catch up with the world-class semiconductor industry chain.

Compared with the investment of Lens Semiconductor in the field of IC design in the past five years, in the past five years, Hua has accumulated US$2.9 billion in R&D investment, which is about 20 billion yuan. Such a large investment is second to none in China. In five years, it still has not reached the world-class level.

Of course, the technological precipitation and achievements of Lens Semiconductor in the past five years must be affirmed, otherwise it will not be possible to become the leader in the domestic IC design field.

But the problem is that you have made progress in the past five years, and others have also made progress, and you have made faster progress, because you are still getting necked from time to time, but people run wild like a wild horse.

Huawei's "teacher" IBM has stopped playing with him now, for fear of teaching the students, the master starved to death in the end.

Qin Weimu finished the memorandum of the things he ordered and left this office, while Luo Sheng looked at the messy scene and shook his head helplessly. He suddenly missed Irene.

Xiao Ai will take the initiative to clean up every time she finishes.

Qin Weimu is a good woman. She only cares about her own comfort. She tidied herself up and then just patted her butt and left...

So selfish.

No way, Luo Sheng had to do it himself.

...

In the following days, Shengfeng Capital began to attack in all directions. As the general manager of Shengfeng Capital, Meng Qiu was immediately dizzy. What is he doing?Busy to be invited by the bosses of various semiconductor companies or the technology industry, have dinners, entertainment, and meet various entrepreneurs.

Mengqiu is both painful and happy. It turns out that it feels so good to be confessed as a "dad". It's so much better than working for Goldman Sachs. Money and treatment are really secondary to him. Achieve financial freedom.

I feel the most important thing. No amount of salary can be obtained. If you give you an annual salary of 100 million, you may not be able to make investment decisions of tens of billions.

Mengqiu now has a heavy burden, that is, Luo Sheng is required to spend 30 billion yuan in Shengfeng’s capital in the second quarter of this year, an average of 10 billion yuan a month.

Frankly speaking, this task is definitely not easy.

It's not easy to spend money.

Luo Sheng is relieved to let him invest, he is not afraid of messing around, and there is no need to mess around.

Qin Weimu has now resigned from several important positions in the Blue Coast Company, but has not completely resigned. She is still one of the core executives, but her focus has obviously shifted to the management of Shengfeng Capital and family funds.

As for the Côte d’Azur, Yao Jianhong, the executive vice president, was enough. The change of personnel was completed very smoothly. There is no doubt that Qin Weimu’s talent can be in charge of one party. Shengfeng Capital is mainly about settlement issues, and investment issues are specifically left to Meng. Qiu, and Luo Sheng is in control of the general direction.

With Qin Weimu in charge of Shengfeng Capital, she can audit every expenditure in it clearly and plainly.

Moreover, her work style and self-requirements are extremely strict, and it is necessary to trace back every dollar of Shengfeng Capital.

There is no one that Luo Sheng can use under her own hands more suitable to be in charge of Shengfeng Capital.
