Chapter 668 Investing in SOI
For future development, Zhou Shi did more research in Yanjing and learned that there are three companies in the world that can supply FD-SOI wafers, including Soitec of France, Shin-Etsu Semiconductor (SHE) of Japan, and SunEdison of the United States. Although all three companies use industry-standard SOI wafer manufacturing technology, Soitec in France is the most advanced and mature technology. However, Zhou Shi is not ready to acquire, although the acquisition is the fastest way to expand, but the more sophisticated the field, the stricter the supervision in the United States, semiconductor foundry is a precedent, not too sensitive, plus semiconductor manufacturing equipment is the key, so Zhou Shi does not have much difficulty in acquiring licensed semiconductors. Of course, it does not mean that the acquisition of wafer upstream enterprises is necessarily impossible, but since it cannot be used for the time being, it is better to develop independent technology in China.
The investment of Galaxy Capital and Sixiang Fund has penetrated into the entire industrial chain, including the perfection of various ecosystems.
However, investing in the cutting-edge technology field cannot be counted on the Sixiang Fund for the time being, and Zhou Shi will soon go to Shanghai to participate in a signing ceremony, and Shanghai Jahwa Group finally chose the Sixiang Fund. In this fight with Ping'an, Zhou Shi and Hu Guniu won again. However, because of this, there is a burden of 5.2 billion soft sister coins, but Sixiang Fund also directly or indirectly controls more than 35% of the shares of Shanghai Jahwa, a listed company. Basically, the possibility of other organizations such as Ping An coveting it has been eliminated.
After a year's time, AIA, a subsidiary of Sixiang Fund, and the domestic joint venture company established in cooperation with Sixiang Fund, can finally let go of its hands and feet in the national layout, although the performance will not be very good in a short period of time, and Sixiang Fund has no network advantages, even if the national layout is based on scale, it will not exceed its own affordability. Therefore, the value of AIA is still reflected in the market capitalization, AIA's share price remains above 26 Hong Kong dollars, and the market value remains stable at more than 40 billion US dollars.
Up to now, the companies controlled by the Sixiang Fund include AIA, Lao Fengxiang, Shanghai Jahwa, Huiyuan Juice and Shanghai Securities, and there are countless companies that have invested in and participated in the shares. Especially after Zhou Shi controls the risk, many high-risk operations can not be continued, and the profits are mainly stocks and fixed income, that is, they mainly rely on various fees and scale to make profits. In addition, there is also a Visionox OLED panel company, because it wants to independently develop various equipment, the existing business of accumulating patents is simply not enough to support the development of the enterprise, and it needs the long-term support of the Sixiang Fund.
Just when Zhou Shi came to the magic capital to witness the equity transfer of Shanghai Jahwa, Temasek's people finally came. To be honest, if it weren't for the chartered semiconductors in Singapore, Zhou Shizhen didn't care about Temasek and the Singapore Government Investment Fund, they could mobilize limited cash, and the total assets would not exceed $500 billion now, and less than $800 billion in a few years, and the impact would not be much higher. It's as if their investment in the four major state-owned banks is unlikely to influence the decisions of these banks. Many of Zhou's investments are for impact, such as Moody's ratings, Mastercard, and AIA. Besides, although Zhou Shi's Time Holdings is not very valuable now, it will definitely be at the level of 100 billion US dollars in the future; Huaxia Friends Network barely has this potential, there should be no problem with the fruit shell, the nuts are uncertain, Yahoo hopes greatly, plus AIA, as well as the two major funds of Galaxy and Sixiang, if you count Amazon, Adobe, Netflix, the assets she can deeply influence may exceed one trillion US dollars. The two sides are opponents in the same sector, and Zhou Shi does not hate them at all.
"I'm so sorry about this incident, we will definitely give you an explanation!" said a Temasek chief executive.
"The family is big and the business is big, sometimes these things are inevitable!" Zhou Shi
"I hope it won't affect our future cooperation!" said Temasek's chief executive
"Of course, we'll talk about it!" Zhou Shi
After a few words, the two sides basically established the attitude of this matter, and Zhou Shi will completely control the company in the future this time. This is also an opportunity for special personnel to join in and learn about the latest technological processes. Zhang Yujing was ready in good spirits and could set off with Zhou Shi at any time.
After meeting Jackma, I was grateful to him.
"For what this time?" Jack Ma
"I don't know who wants to get me out of the concession semiconductors, but I suspect Temasek is behind it, so I will strike first. "Zhou Shi
"Chartered semiconductors aren't privately owned?" said Jack Ma
"They want to merge Chartered Semiconductor and GLOBALFOUNDRIES and use the financial advantage to put me in the industry. "Zhou Shi
"GLOBALFOUNDRIES?" Jackma didn't know that the current GLOBALFOUNDRIES is a small company, with almost no business scope except for AMD, unlike licensed semiconductors, which have a business scope all over the world, and there are many world-renowned semiconductor companies to work with.
"The company opened by the local tyrants in Alaba only knows money except money, because of the acquisition of AMD's chip manufacturing plant, and now GLOBALFOUNDRIES is barely ranked in the top ten in the semiconductor foundry industry. Zhou Shi, what he said was a little exaggerated, mainly because the talent base of Alaba is not large, and there are not many people who have a clear understanding of the high-tech industry, especially the semiconductor foundry, which is not a core industry. One of the reasons why China has the hope of challenging the economic order of Europe and the United States is that there are many talents, and there are talents in all industries and professions around the world. Although the level may not be top-notch, there are enough of them.
"It's no wonder that the country needs to charter semiconductors!" said Jack Ma
"Yes, the foundation of our country is too weak, and many times I can't think that this industry is simply a gold-swallowing beast. If I give you these funds, maybe you can create another Ali. "Zhou Shi
"Spent so much money?" Jack Ma
"Seven or eight billion US dollars, and it may be added in the future, it should exceed 10 billion US dollars, which is not only to expand the scale, but also to make patent reserves and increase research and development efforts" Zhou Shi, this is also no way, TSMC's annual investment may be more than their annual revenue scale.
"It's just you, how can anyone else have this ability!" Jack Ma
"In fact, this kind of thing can only be done well with the support of the state, Singapore's support for semiconductor foundry is getting smaller and smaller, and I don't know when the country will be able to give us support, otherwise it may still be empty. "Zhou Shi
"The state is paying more and more attention to this piece!" said Jack Ma
"Hmm!" Zhou Shi stopped talking about this, and talked to him about Ali's delisting, which once again made him receive a lot of criticism, saying that the IPO in Xiangjiang is equivalent to using a large amount of money without interest. I don't want to think about those delisted, those bankrupt companies, do you want Jack Ma to use Taobao to subsidize Alibaba's B2B business?
