Chapter 538: Changing with the Times
Under the run of Sakamoto, the well-connected CEO of Toyo, Liu Ruoyi's M&A team had a new harvest, through a Bermuda offshore investment institution, subscribed for new shares issued by Sharp at a higher price of 480 billion yen valuation, and directly obtained 75% of Sharp's equity, and successfully pocketed Sharp.
At the same time, the injection of this huge amount of money has provided a strong momentum for the research and development of Sharp's next-generation OLED display.
Although compared to Liu Ruoyi's previous time and space, the price of this early acquisition is at least 100 billion yen higher. But Liu Ruoyi felt that it was very worthwhile.
Compared with the key things in the mobile ecological chain, the factor of money has become secondary.
Now in the hardware supply chain ecology of mobile terminals, there is no key thing that can be stuck in the neck.
The new company was renamed Asia Sharp without much trouble, and the relocation of the headquarters to Hong Kong has added a new company with strong Liu's characteristics to Cyberport, which is not yet felt by most people.
But for SS and LG, this is an extremely clear signal.
Because of this, LG's president Kim Ben-fan almost scolded Lee Jae-hwan of SS Company for being bloody, although in terms of the relationship between the two, Kim Ben-fan is still Lee Jae-hwan's elder, and there was a marriage between SS Company and the second generation of LG Company in the early years, but the two families have long been at odds with each other because of business matters, and they have not liked each other for many years.
However, this time the Li family's treachery again caused the queen of Xiangjiang Semiconductor to be furious, and she directly threw money to take Sharp, and its goal is self-evident.
Although both LG and SS monitors now have the upper hand in technology and market share, Jin Benfan is a person who has watched the changes in the memory market, and the display industry is an order of magnitude less than the memory threshold.
And Liu Ruoyi can smash money to smash out a king of the memory world, and then smash the display into a new situation, and you don't even need to think about it.
Therefore, the Jin family, which has always adhered to the principle of faithfulness, Jin Benfan is simply unbearable for the inferior nature of the Li family.
However, it is useless to say these things now, LG now needs to re-evaluate the display business, but in terms of investment in technology and production line capacity, the new Xiangjiang Sharp must be highly valued as a strong competitor.
For Jin Benfan, the situation of LG Display has become a little difficult today, and it will be even more difficult in the future, not only Sharp, which has changed hands, but also Dongfang Display from neighbors and AUO and Innolux on the Treasure Island are not idle people, and there are big funds behind them.
Now with the addition of a full-fledged Sharp, LG's second-thousand-year-old situation is likely to be lost.
As a core industry with an annual revenue of more than 20 billion US dollars, LG's display business is a must-have, so after scolding Li Zaihuan, a junior, Kim Benfan began to plan to strengthen the R&D investment in display and the construction of a new generation production line.
Now we have to prepare in advance in order to get a chance to survive in the future competition.
Otherwise, when Liu Ruoyi's new Sharp is reshuffled, I am afraid that it will inevitably repeat the mistakes of the past and follow in the footsteps of the memory industry on the island.
...
The thoughts of the Korean people, Liu Ruoyi is too lazy to guess, these grandsons still have to use their strength to make them honest.
Solving the problem of the display screen is obviously not a day or two, Liu Ruoyi will not be so eager for quick success, now on, if you can catch up in 3 years, and pull down the horse in 5 years, Liu Ruoyi is already very satisfied.
This is different from the memory market, Qimonda itself is not bad in memory technology, but it is not as good as the Koreans in terms of operation and cost control.
Wait until Liu Ruoyi is integrated and placed in the Asian region. When fighting on the same battlefield, the cost is no longer a disadvantage of Qimonda but an advantage, and a lot of money is spent to unexpectedly integrate the memory production capacity on the island, which is at least two years ahead of Liu Ruoyi.
It is important to know that the order period for the most important equipment in semiconductor processing equipment is nearly two years old.
It's just that the storage industry on the island was really frightened by the terrible price of the memory market and Liu Ruoyi's plan, and took the initiative to sell it while it was still valuable, so that it could also reduce losses.
Otherwise, while enduring continuous losses for two years, and waiting until two years later, your assets may not even be able to sell one-fifth or one-sixth, so who would do such a stupid thing?!
Not to mention that they did it right, the cash they got back after the integration was smashed into microcontrollers, sensors and analog devices, and now there are one or two companies on the island that can compete with Renesas, NXP and ST.
Although it is slightly inferior in scale, the entire industry has cultivated a multi-billion dollar market in the fields of major automotive electronics, mobile phone supporting, digital TV, and embedded applications of household appliances, relying on the vigorous development of the mainland market.
For the island's semiconductor industry, this is a lost harvest, and now they are going farther and farther on this road.
If you look at the memory market today, it has been looted by Liu Ruoyi to the point that the little players are almost useless, and the memory owners on the island now have a feeling of the rest of their lives.
is as strong as Erbida, and under Liu Ruoyi's offensive, he had to bow his head in ashes.
That is, the Koreans are more grouped, otherwise a player with a market share like Hynix would not be able to escape the fate of being acquired in bankruptcy, but now it is swallowed up and the result is similar.
...
By the middle of 2014, the MIPS64 mobile core was finally successfully taped out, and this new chip came out, which made Liu Ruoyi very interested, and directly gave him a new Chinese name - Qin!
The number is called Q6442, which means that this is a 64-bit 4-core 2G chip. From the perspective of the pure computing power of integer operation and floating-point operation, the computing power of Q6442 has surpassed that of Snapdragon 800!
And the power is just 2W! After simplifying and reducing the high-speed memory inside the chip on the original MIPS64 server processor architecture, the performance of the processor Qin is weaker than the original processor, but it is not bad at all compared to the current top mobile computing.
There is no doubt that when the next generation of Aries adopts the combination of P1000 and Q6442 heterogeneous methods, it will improve by leaps and bounds in terms of performance, whether it is a 2+1 solution with 2 P1000 and a Q6442, or a 4+1 solution with 4 P1000 and a Q6442, it will bring double the performance of the previous generation.
In particular, after the performance of the 2+1 solution is improved, the power consumption can basically remain the same!
This is quite a remarkable trait for the next generation of Aries.
Even if a Q6442 core is used, pure 64-bit architecture + SGX GPU and baseband can have the high performance of the current mainstream flagship models.
Therefore, as long as this core is verified to be usable, the design flexibility of the next new flagship model will be greatly enhanced.
More importantly, in the future, the door will be opened in the form of MIPS32-bit + MIPS64 mixed group.
It's just that there is a lot of verification work on this, so don't think about the new flagship-level processor in the short term, and it's good to be able to come out next year. Now you have to rely on Aries 800 to dominate the world.
Speaking of the Aries 800, in addition to the MOTO X series and O2i series, Coarse Grain's MI4 has also confirmed the use of the Aries 800, becoming the third user of the production model.
As of July 2014, 50 million units of MOTO X have been sold, and nearly 10 million units of O2i have been sold, bringing shipments of the Aries 8000 to the 60 million level.
At the current price of more than $50 for the Aries 800, the sales volume is more than $3 billion, although this figure is not on the same order of magnitude as its competitors, but when the life cycle of this Aries 800 is over, it is still very promising for sales to break through the level of six or seven billion dollars.
If so, after deducting R&D expenses, Aries 800 basically still has a certain profit margin.
As long as the sales volume exceeds 100 million pieces, then there will be no loss of money.
The commercial use of MOTO X has brought about a popular effect, which has made the Aries project team very excited.
The new generation of Aries is now doing pre-research on both schemes, pure MIPS32-bit P1500 core has come out, relatively speaking, the performance has been improved, the main frequency has reached 2.3Ghz, and the performance has broken through3.6DMIPS/MHz.
From a conservative point of view, this option has the highest probability of success, and basically the large architecture does not need to be changed.
However, the performance improvement of this architecture is linear, and it can improve the performance indicators of the previous generation Aries 800 by 30% to 40% overall.
Of course, from a conventional point of view, this is already very good.
In terms of baseband processors, we are now doing two 4G network standards of TD-LTE AND FDD-LTE and WCDMA and CDMA2000 of multi-mode baseband.
Although this is still a certain distance from the whole Netcom, for example, TD-SCDMA cannot support it, and the support for 2G is not good.
However, for high-end users, almost most of them are from the two 4G network environments of TD-LTE AND FDD-LTE, so they can be compatible with the new generation of Aries baseband of the two large 3G standards, which is enough to be qualified to switch at will in the mainstream telecom operator networks in Europe, America and South America.
As for the TD-SCDMA in the mainland of the mainland, seriously, even its father is annoyed to look at it now, and it doesn't go through the operator channel anyway, and this gap is negligible for high-end users.
...
In 2014, Shang, which is based in Southeast Asia and Xiangjiang Treasure Island, has broken through the boundaries and provided the mainland with the sub-station business of overseas shopping network, and with the help of the high-dimensional mobile Internet social platform, it soon became the first place in the overseas shopping business in the mainland.
Relying on the advantages of the Xiangjiang Trade Port and Liu Ruoyi's huge influence in the mainland, Shangpin Haitaowang has obtained the qualification of Pengcheng Free Trade Zone to carry out international commodity trade, and is taxed according to the simplest customs clearance method.
It directly completes the product docking from manufacturers to users, and cuts off the intermediate link channels, so that the genuine products of Shangpin Haitao have a great price advantage compared with the same imported goods in the mainland.
Due to the good mechanism of fake one penalty and ten penalties and the strong support of Shangpin's annual sales exceeding 400 billion Hong Kong dollars, Shangpin's overseas shopping business has developed in an unconventional way since its birth.
Seven months after its opening in the first year, the overseas shopping business exceeded 20 billion yuan!
Judging from the development trend, there should not be much suspense in 2014 to break through 40 billion yuan.
This development simply exceeded Liu Ruoyi's best expectations.
Of course, Liu Ruoyi knows that a large part of this is a kind of realization of the mainland's contribution to herself, after all, after several years of spending money in the semiconductor industry, Liu Ruoyi has smashed out a memory market in Xiangjiang and the mainland to be the world's first.
Then in terms of semiconductor foundry, it smashed another world first.
In terms of processor chip design, it has saved at least more than 5 years of time for relevant R&D institutions in the mainland to catch up with the world.
Any one of these achievements is an incredible miracle in another plane.
But now it seems that this is not the end,At least in the field of display,Liu Ruoyi has launched a new layout,Introduced a world-class display manufacturer for Xiangjiang,If nothing else,A few years later,You will see another world first。
Regarding Liu Ruoyi's shot, there are basically not many people who suspect that she will miss now.
Even Liu Ruoyi's competitors see it that way.
This shows how much of a psychological shadow the memory war has caused to competitors in the semiconductor industry.
And the phoenix nirvana-like MOTO Mobile, vaguely saw that in the mobile phone industry, Liu Ruoyi is preparing to revive the grand scene of MOTO's dominance in the world!
All this a few years ago, no one would have thought of at all.
If it weren't for Zhang Rujin coming to the door to talk about Zhongxin International's broken things, Liu Ruoyi would not have made such a big toss in the semiconductor industry.
With Winceung Bank, Cornerstone Investments and West Coast Capital, as well as Kingdom Mining, Liu can make a splash in the traditional financial and resources sectors.
Although now she has also played a black hand in the financial industry, she has secretly begun to slowly take the financial dominance of Xiangjiang from the hands of crooked nuts.
Whether it is Yongxiang Bank, which has become a small financial giant on the surface, or the cornerstone investment of a large amount of wealth hidden in countless secret investment funds.
and the West Coast capital buried even deeper.
From the perspective of the financial queen, Liu Ruoyi is not only limited to the small land of Xiangjiang, but can also look at Asia.
At least the current Heung Kong Finance has beaten the original threatening Lion City Finance to the ground.
Among them, Liu Ruoyi's Yongxiang Securities has made an indispensable contribution in guiding mainland enterprises to list in Xiangjiang, and has become the undoubted first investment bank in Xiangjiang.
As long as it passes the selection process of Yongxiang Securities, there is almost no company that is not successfully listed and is sought after to a considerable extent.
With Liang Baiheng's professional and strict ethics, combined with some comparisons in Liu Ruoyi's memory, the really good company Yongxiang Securities will generally not miss it, and the well-known bad companies will not want to be listed under the banner of Yongxiang Securities' recommendation.
The investment banking industry in Hong Kong, which has been completely reset, now has to adapt to the natural oligopoly period when Yongxiang Securities was thriving.
