Chip industry is a fundamental in the field of high-tech industries, from mobile phones, computers, cars and even the keys, entrance guard, everyone in daily life unconsciously around the hundreds of thousands of chips... International giant monopoly on the industry in recent years has increased, as a chaser, thunis group curves by many international mergers and acquisitions and overtaking, lead on chip industry in China since the childhood, from weak to strong.

From "shanzhai" to high-end chip - the international mergers and acquisitions to open a new situation of independent innovation

Continuous acquisition of companies listed on nasdaq spreadtrum and RuiDi, active in mergers and acquisitions by hewlett-packard China three communication, Intel... Purple light group with one big capital movement, set off a wave in the field of science and technology in integrated circuits and waves. Between 2013 and 2015, purple light group completed three consecutive international m&a and investment at a time, to become the world's third largest mobile phone chip design companies.

On February 24th in the evening, within the college of Beijing road to true building, spreadtrum's engineer to discuss the latest in a chip of the technical details. Just two, spreadtrum announced issued the first 16 eight core 64 LTE mobile processor chips, means to enter the global high-end chip market.

"In the chip to the price, is a high-end market, the CPU processing power, such as video decoding performance index achieves the international first-class level. Currently have and samsung common test chip applications." Spreadtrum communications department senior director zhang light said.

In violet light before the acquisition, such a breakthrough for spreadtrum as a nasdaq listed company is hard to do. Bryan said light, spreadtrum before share part of the product or in shenzhen area "shanzhai" chip, over the years through technical innovation, and gradually gain a foothold in the chip market, technological advantages let products to obtain a large market share, supply directly to samsung brand, "the cool" brand also all adopt the spreadtrum chip.

Because the violet light of spreadtrum, let the latter breakthrough the limitation of the us capital markets, not by the shareholders of the interests of the stringent requirements, in partnership, customer resources, r&d etc received strong support, competitive relationship becomes a synergistic effect, not only research and development innovation has won national science and technology progress prize, also set up r&d centers in the world more.

"Violet light accumulated after the merger of spreadtrum r&d reached 3 billion yuan, the two companies r&d staff reached more than four thousand people." Purple light group chairman wei-guo zhao said.

"Overtaking lane changing" implementation industry from without to strong

Historical development experience, to build an innovative country in China, must want to grab the commanding heights in the new round of industrial revolution. In the face of the screens game, first is very important. If only through the accumulation of indigenous technology upgrade industry, means a great deal of time cost, may miss opportunities. Purple light experience has shown that "the international merger and acquisition and independent innovation" is a feasible with the rapid development of a new industry way.

In wei-guo zhao's view, integrated circuit in the modern industrial buildings of steel skeleton. No domestic chip industry, independent of the modern industry and information industry.

"2013 years ago, although the development of smart phones, but the universal mobile smart chip design in the field of basic research and development strength is blank," said wei-guo zhao, chip industry every niche monopolized by several international companies, if from gay bred development technology research and development, not only a long time, and it's easy to be giant squeeze at the beginning of the innovation. Purple light, therefore, to accelerate independent innovation path selection with international m&a, make our country realize the leap from zero to the world's top three.

After a recent merger integration of purple light group in 2015, violet light group's chip design company spreadtrum and RuiDi has sold over 650 million sets of chips in the whole world, at an annual rate of 20%, global market share of 27%, in the field of mobile chip design ranks third in the world.

The supply side of the scientific and technological innovation in the reform

Purple light through the merger integration, promote the cooperation between upstream and downstream enterprises, improve the supply side of the allocation of resources, to provide more excellent products and industries, to realize the reform of the supply side of the science and technology innovation.

"We buy object, notting have is not technically very cow." Wei-guo zhao said, some Chinese companies in the international m&a to the other side of the brand and market channel, but firmly to the road of scientific and technological innovation, the purple lights.

"For example, spreadtrum half the cost of revenues come from research and development, including team pay, buy intellectual property rights and the software system and so on, companies do not need too much market and pr cost, good product can win the market." He said.

Since 2009, the purple light group's total assets increased from 1.3 billion yuan to 1.3 billion yuan, revenue growth from 1.3 billion yuan to 52 billion yuan. Violet light is at the speed of the Internet, to achieve breakthrough in the field of technology and growth. This innovation accelerated the growth of the enterprise itself, drive the industry breakthrough, also fill in the blank in the field of national science and technology.

The group's total to 32000 employees, over 10000 patents. Through system innovation, purple light complete mergers and acquisitions in recent years almost all subordinate company has realized the team and employee shareholding. This is purple light after the merger, the enterprise can achieve continuous innovation.

Wei-guo zhao, said the next step will develop the storage industry, the purple lights, now several companies such as samsung and hynix, Intel monopolized the world more than 90% of the storage market, purple light will tear apart a "hole" in the field of international monopoly, fill the blank of the important fields in the IC industry in our country. "If it is a marathon, we just ran 5 kilometers, purple light to become a world-class technology giants, realizing the dream of science and technology of China power."
