Age of Dreams
Vol 2 Chapter 41: Want to buy Infineon
Therefore, MediaTek attaches great importance to the development of processor chips, especially the improvement of CPU performance.
Cai Mingsheng sent more than 20 super-class R&D personnel to conduct research in the Fairy Lab in Rongcheng. After spending a lot of financial and material resources, he has made breakthrough progress recently.
Don’t look at Xiao Qi only giving MediaTek a $0.2 patent fee for each processor chip, but Xiao Qi promises to use no less than 100 million pieces a year in the future, so MediaTek can earn 150 million yuan in patent revenue every year.
The patent money alone can be a lot, and Cai Mingsheng began to think whether he can get a share of the independent baseband chip of Dream Stars.
The baseband chip is a very important part of the mobile phone chip. It is a chip that integrates HSPA, EDGE and DMA baseband. Because European and American laws require that all parts related to radio communication must be integrated on the same processor, Therefore, it is integrated into a baseband chip separately.
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 a package solution of MediaTek. Commonly known as the baseband chip, that is, the MediaTek mobile phone chip that Xiao Qi bought.
It's just that the Dream Stars produced by Xiao Qi now have a much higher level. Dual-core processors, power management, fairy systems, etc., are all high-end independent components developed and developed. Naturally, it is impossible to give them all to MediaTek for production.
Just like a computer, there is a big difference between an integrated motherboard and an independent motherboard. The obvious independent motherboard is better and more powerful. The same is true for the Dream Stars baseband chip.
MediaTek also does not have the ability to produce baseband chips that meet the needs of Dream Stars, but they hope to get orders for independent baseband chips that are also an important part of mobile phones based on their technical expertise.
Recently, Cai Guozhi has been mentioning this to Xiao Qi, hoping that Xiao Qi can give them a try.
But Xiao Qi did not agree.
It’s not that you don’t trust MediaTek’s technology. In fact, in 2012, when the smartphone wars were in full swing, MediaTek’s baseband chips, and even the overall baseband chips, were very marketable. China-made basebands 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 produce a good independent baseband chip.
But Xiao Qi's eyes always look forward.
Future Qualcomm, MediaTek, Infineon, Spreadtrum, etc., dominate the entire baseband chip market. MediaTek is a lot worse than Qualcomm, but it can also be regarded as the second in the world.
But if you cooperate with MediaTek, Xiao Qi will not have the opportunity to develop his own strength. In order to become more powerful in the technology and expertise he has, Xiao Qi still decides to buy a company with patents for baseband chips.
It's not that Xiao Qi doesn't want to buy MediaTek directly, but because MediaTek has already tasted the sweetness of mobile phone chips under the influence of Xiao Qi. The huge profits of billions of yuan each year in the future doomed Cai Mingsheng not to let go of his company. On the contrary, His ambition is still very strenuous, and he wants to take MediaTek to a higher position.
Under this situation, if Xiao Qi forced to acquire MediaTek, it would be very difficult.
In fact, Xiao Qi once asked Cai Guozhi whether it was possible for MediaTek to raise funds or buy stocks, but Cai Guozhi said "impossible!"
Even if you want to come, a company that has super profitability and strong future development expectations will never sell it.
So Xiao Qi put his plan on Infineon.
Speaking of Infineon, you may not be familiar with it, but if you say "Siemens Semiconductor Division", many people will understand it. It turns out that this is a famous door!
Siemens Semiconductor Division was independent. After the establishment of Infineon, they have very unique aspects in semiconductors, such as baseband chips, integrated circuits, DRAM storage, automotive and industrial electronic components in the communications field, etc., they all master With very advanced leading skills.
I have seen that the memory market has been very hot in recent years. Last year, Infineon conducted a split and separated the DRAM department.
After the separation, Qimonda's DRAM memory company, as the world's second largest DRAM company, was directly listed on the New York Stock Exchange after it was separated, bringing Infineon's $1 billion in financing and its highest peak market value. Reached about 5 billion.
But Qimonda's good days are not long. After more than a year, they will have to fall into the financial crisis. In the end, their market value will not exceed 500 million US dollars, just like most hard brothers and sisters.
The real value is Infineon itself.
Not to mention that it can make a mobile phone chip solution like MediaTek. Xiao Qi got it, which is equivalent to the strength of MediaTek 80, and Infineon is not the most powerful one!
What Infineon is really good at is the semiconductor chip ~www.readwn.com~ For example, many high-end German cars, such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi, tire pressure monitoring systems, electronic compasses, and smart sensors used in cars Many of them are from their family.
There are many sensor modules in Apple NE, such as ambient light sensor, distance sensor, image sensor, magnetoresistive sensor, acoustic wave sensor, temperature sensor, humidity sensor, etc., which are very important. Many of them are Apple Unique application technology.
To make a smart phone, these sensors are indispensable. Infineon does not pay attention to the consumer electronics industry on weekdays. It just equips the car with these sensor components, but it does not mean that they are not proficient. In fact, they are the biggest ones. expert.
In addition, during the 2011 Japan earthquake in the previous life, why did the NE and IPAD be out of stock?
is because of the lack of a very important component-the electronic compass.
This important component originally produced by Japan's Asahi Kasei is very troublesome to replace other manufacturers, and other parts must be uniformly deployed, and this is not a day or two.
It just so happens that Infineon makes the electronic compass for the car's navigation system. Xiao Qi's preparation in this respect naturally conforms to the concept of "not relying on one supplier".
.
Seeing so many benefits, how can Xiao Qi be indifferent? (To be continued [This text is provided by the Breaking Dawn Update Team@Mayu樱花]. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for the "First Issue" and vote for a monthly pass. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
