Text Chapter 1041 Want to buy Infineon

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Therefore, MediaTek attaches great importance to the research and development of processor chips this time, especially the improvement of CPU performance.

    Cai Mingsheng sent more than 20 of his top-notch R&D personnel to conduct research at the Fairy Laboratory in Chengdu, and spent a lot of financial and material resources to achieve a breakthrough recently.

    Although Xiao Qi only paid MediaTek 0.2 US dollars in patent fees for each processor chip, Xiao Qi promised that the annual usage will be no less than 100 million, so MediaTek can earn 150 million yuan in patent revenue every year.

    The patent money alone can be quite a lot, and Cai Mingsheng began to wonder if he could get a share of DreamStars' independent baseband chip.

    The baseband chip is a very important part of mobile phone chips. It is a chip that integrates HSPA, EDGE and WCDMA basebands. Because European and American laws stipulate that all parts related to radio communication must be integrated on the same processor.  That¡¯s why it was separately integrated into a baseband chip.

    Basically, the phone call function of a mobile phone is composed of CPU processor, baseband chip, power management, software and peripherals. This is also a basic function of the mobile phone, and these together become MediaTek¡¯s package solution.  Commonly known as baseband chip, it is the MediaTek mobile phone chip that Xiao Qi bought.

    It¡¯s just that the DreamStars produced by Xiao Qi are much higher in quality. Dual-core processors, power management, fairy system, etc. are all independent components developed by high-end research and development. Naturally, it is impossible to hand them all to MediaTek for production.

    Just like a computer, there is a big difference between an integrated motherboard and an independent motherboard. The independent motherboard is obviously better and more powerful. The same is true for the DreamStars baseband chip.

    MediaTek does not have the ability to produce baseband chips that meet the needs of DreamStars, but they hope to use their technical expertise to get orders for independent baseband chips, which are also an important part of mobile phones.

    Recently, Cai Guozhi has been mentioning this to Xiao Qi, hoping that Xiao Qi would let them give it a try.

    But Xiao Qi did not agree.

    It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t trust MediaTek¡¯s technology. In fact, in 2012, when the smartphone war was in full swing, MediaTek¡¯s baseband chips, and even overall baseband chips, were very marketable. Domestic ones such as Lenovo and Huawei¡¯s basebands  The chips are all from MediaTek.

    They have a strong technical background, coupled with Xiao Qi¡¯s genius idea, it is not impossible to work hard to create a good independent baseband chip.

    But Xiao Qi¡¯s vision is always looking forward.

    In the future, Qualcomm, MediaTek, Infineon, Spreadtrum, etc. will dominate the entire baseband chip market. MediaTek is far behind Qualcomm, but it can still be regarded as second in the world.

    But if he cooperates with MediaTek, Xiao Qi will not have the opportunity to develop his own strength. In order to make his own technology and expertise more powerful, Xiao Qi decided to buy a company with baseband chip patents.

    It's not that Xiao Qi doesn't want to directly acquire MediaTek, but because MediaTek, under Xiao Qi's influence, has already tasted the benefits of mobile phone chips in advance, and the huge profits of billions of yuan every year in the future, it is destined that Cai Mingsheng will not let go of his company. On the contrary  His ambition is still very strenuous, and he wants to bring MediaTek to a higher position.

    Under such circumstances, it would be very difficult for Xiao Qi to forcefully acquire MediaTek.

    In fact, Xiao Qi once asked Cai Guozhi intentionally or unintentionally whether it was possible for MediaTek to raise funds or buy stocks, but Cai Guozhi said "impossible" without even thinking about it!

    Thinking about it, a company with excellent profits and strong future development expectations will never be sold.

    So Xiao Qi put his plans on the company Infineon.

    Speaking of Infineon, everyone may not be familiar with it, but if you say "Siemens Semiconductor Division", many people will understand. It turns out that this is a famous family!

    After the Siemens Semiconductor Division became independent and established Infineon, they are very unique in semiconductors, such as baseband chips, integrated circuits, DRAM storage, automotive and industrial electronic components, etc. in the field of communications.  Very advanced leading technology.

    Seeing that the memory market has been very hot in recent years, last year, Infineon conducted a split and separated out the DRAM department.

    The DRAM memory company named Qimonda after the separation, as the world's second largest DRAM company, was directly listed on the New York Stock Exchange after the separation, bringing one billion US dollars in financing to Infineon, and its peak market value  It has reached about 5 billion.

    But Qimonda¡¯s good days did not last long. In more than a year, they will fall into the financial crisis, and their market value will eventually be reduced.?More than 500 million US dollars, like most of our fellow sufferers.

    The real value is Infineon itself.

    Not to mention that it can make mobile phone chip solutions like MediaTek, Xiao Qi got it, which is equivalent to getting 80% of the strength of MediaTek, and Infineon is not the most powerful in this area!

    What Infineon is really powerful about is its semiconductor chips. For example, in many high-end German cars, such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi, many of the tire pressure monitoring systems, electronic compasses, and smart sensors used in the cars are produced by them.  of.

    There are many sensor modules in Apple's IPHONE, such as ambient light sensor, distance sensor, image sensor, magnetoresistive sensor, sound wave sensor, temperature sensor, humidity sensor, etc., all of which are very important, and many of them are Apple's  Unique application technology.

    If you want to make a smart phone, these sensors are indispensable. Infineon has never paid attention to the consumer electronics industry. It only equips cars with these sensor components. However, this does not mean that they are not proficient. In fact, they are one of the biggest players.  expert.

    In addition, during the 2011 earthquake in Japan, why was there a shortage of iPhones and iPads?

    It is because of the lack of a very important component - an electronic compass.

    "This important component originally produced by Asahi Kasei of Japan is very troublesome to replace with other manufacturers. Other parts must be deployed uniformly, and this is not a matter of a day or two.

    Coincidentally, Infineon makes electronic compasses for car navigation systems. Xiao Qi is well-prepared in this area, which naturally conforms to the concept of "not relying on one supplier".

    SO.

    Seeing so many benefits, how could Xiao Qi not be tempted?  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
