From purely financial point of view, we all know that the acquisition is a money-making business, and Zhaowei Zhao, chairman of the Group, made a series of 'buy and buy' acquisition, but made a profitable business.He is not playing capital? What is the secret behind this? "A World Without Thieves" Li Shu has a famous saying: '21st century, what is the most expensive? Talent!' But Zhao Weiguo, chairman of the Group of the Purple Light, said the talent is very cheap, where to talk about this remark?
Please pay attention to the "dialogue" # # Entrepreneurship is how to make: Create a "core" of perseverance #. (Broadcast time: Sunday, November 19, 21:50, CCTV Finance Channel "dialogue" section)
'Outsiders' accidentally into the IC circle?
'When I was in college, I remembered going to the lab for the first time and seeing the chips for the first time was amazing. A small chip could do a lot of things, but those high-end chips came from overseas. Thinking about when China can make such integrated circuits? You know, entrepreneurs actually have a personal heroism complex. 'Said Zhaowei Guo, chairman of Ziguang Group,' It was a young man's idea that as we get older and do more and more things, I think as an entrepreneur we have gone beyond the scope of individual heroism and individuals The categories of wealth Entrepreneurs should do something about the strength of our homeland to take on what is needed in some national strategies and, at the same time, benefit our society through our own efforts, be able to translate your responsibility to the state and scientific innovations, and Revitalization of the industry combined, in one area, a breakthrough in the industry.
In retrospect, Zhao Wei-guo said: 'On April 24, 2011, Tsinghua University celebrated its centennial celebration and I was fortunate to participate as an alumnus in this Great Hall of the People. While singing international songs, I thought I found the direction of the violet - Violet to break through the industry, and even my life's lifelong mission is to develop China's integrated circuit industry, let it have a place in the world.
Ye Tiansheng, director of the Institute of Microelectronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, commented: 'After I saw the action of a purple light, after an action was done, I felt that everyone began to slowly see the ambition of the purple light and it was a strategic and charter way. A big chess, there is a great ambition in the industry.He is not necessarily a businessman, I am afraid there is an industry feeling, and even very ambitious entrepreneurs!
The core chip is the scientific community 'Everest'?
Why the chip we can not do? Institute of Microelectronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences Ye Tianchun explained: 'The integrated circuit technology from design to manufacture, so far is the most sophisticated human history of the design, manufacture and processing technology. We Chinese say science called Now we see that we have conquered Tarzan, Huashan and the Alps, but the integrated circuit is the Himalayas and the core chip is Mount Everest, which requires the most advanced technologies in the world.
In addition to the technology itself, the global competitive landscape and the game between nations are all the more difficult.Zhao Weiguo took out the report of the U.S. Presidential Science and Technology Advisory Committee to the U.S. President at the end of last year, further explaining: "In this report, one of them The words "the so-called innovation that inhibits China's semiconductor industry" clearly put forward the need to stop China's development. The report said that U.S. companies must innovate by themselves to ease the threat posed by the Chinese semiconductors. They have already considered that the development of China's semiconductor industry is one for the United States The report clearly states: Historically, the global semiconductor market has never been a perfectly competitive market.
Zhao Weiguo: I dare to press everything up!
On such a difficult chip road, with the addition of purple, there is no shortage of people worry about joy. Really can do it? Or just the expression of confidence, and may even be a word, may not be able to achieve, and first say out Forget it?
In this regard, Harvest Fund Management Co., Ltd. Party Secretary Zhao Xuejun, president, said: 'When he chose to do this thing, I think the right time and conditions, and the first refers to Moore's Law is near the limit, when the chip this After the industry to 7 nanometers, in fact, its speed of development is declining, which will give those who have the opportunity to catch up later.The second is the chip industry with the development of the digital economy, not only used in computers, mobile phones, but also includes cloud computing server , Unmanned smart cars, and chipsets and chips on the Internet of Things have become a huge market; China is a big manufacturing power where China has become a world, and China has started to emerge as a world-class leading enterprise on the application side. Application market in China, so the benefits also have; people and China so many years of accumulated talent .Tsinghua only in Silicon Valley there are more than 10,000 people back .And then who can do it .Zhao Weiguo returned to Tsinghua University, led by Tsinghua University Purple into the IC industry, he is good at integrating these resources to achieve his ideal.
Zhao Weiguo pointed out: 'Purple and I do integrated circuits, in this area to be able to develop and grow, first of all benefit from the background, that is, the Great Power era. Like the Olympic Games, why did not the Chinese Olympic champion before the liberation? Before the reform and opening up In the past 30 years, our achievements in international sports are also very poor? And in recent years, with the improvement of China's national strength, Chinese athletes have won many championships in the world! Then we returned to the industry and made breakthroughs in many fields. This is the background of national power, the talents accumulated by the whole society and the background of energy.
'The reason why I dared to push everything up is because I think I can make it into something.This is not only my personal wealth problem but also the realization of the national strategy. Is a small matter, the state put this hope on your body, you can not be made, not just the loss of wealth, you will become a national sinner. "Zhao Weiguo stressed.
Secret purple acquisition logic
If the purely financial point of view, the acquisition is a money-making business, and Ziguang made profitable business.Zhao Weiguo pointed out that because we choose a good base, as well as after the acquisition of business integration, so that sustainable development, therefore, the acquisition Not only laid a good industrial base for the Purple Light and made us financially healthier, so as the "Art of War" said: 'Because of the food in the enemy to combat war.' Three mergers and acquisitions (mergers and acquisitions Spreadtrum Branch, Xinhua three), three alliances (alliance Intel, Western Digital and Hewlett-Packard.) Just two years purple will quickly completed the ecological layout in the field of integrated circuits.
'The acquisition of Spreadtrum allows us to quickly identify the bridgehead in the field of chip design; the acquisition of RDA, consolidating Spreadtrum's position in the mobile chip, sit tight in the world's third, and to prepare for entering the Internet of Things; and we acquired Xinhua three The users of the chip are doing network, storage and cloud computing, and we see that there is a memory chip in common between Spreadtrum and Xinhua III.When we entered storage in 2015, I already laid out the layout for the downstream - - In the beginning, apart from solving the problems of technology, research and development, and talent, it also solved the future market problems. "Zhao said that many of our research achievements in China, including many things that many people at IC earlier did, It is not commercial value to make an industry, a technology, a product, if it can not be successful in the market, so we are equivalent to the first guests before cooking Ready. '
This series of acquisitions has also potentially affected people in China. Zhao Weiguo said: 'We imagine if in today's China, in the field of mobile phones, if Spreadtrum is controlled by foreign capital or acquired, every mobile phone in China today A few hundred dollars more expensive.
'Outsiders' can also be successful?
In fact, Zhao Weiguo is only the IT industry, not originally in the circle of China's integrated circuit, acquired through the acquisition of purple into this circle.Zhao Weiguo pointed out that 'we see a lot of Chinese industry's development is very interesting, subversive - the ultimate success Are not the original people think in the circle of people are often outsiders subversion of the game, was successful. There is a sentence called bystander Ming. Just look at a painting, you are in the painting do not see Understand; when you are away from you, you are an outsider, you see the outline and even the location of the picture in the environment; you can see where it is and where you can succeed.
For the outside world about the purple is playing the suspicion of capital, Zhao Weiguo frankly answered, 'What is the capital of the people who bought, and then sold to others.Violet bought a business did not sell, continue to increase investment, from one Pony into a horse, Maxima.For businesses, the development is the core, M & A may be a particular stage is a means.So an entrepreneur to combine the ideal of your industry and business reality, so as to light up the business The future, I must have borrowed capital and resorted to such a tool, but used it in a career I loved and paid for it.
Ye Tianchun, the director of the Institute of Microelectronics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said: 'I always felt that this industry needs to be done. In particular, the high-intensity and high-investment-oriented industries such as today require a concept of' triple chain ': the industrial chain, Innovation chain, the financial chain to be integrated. Capital market so much money, do not come to this industry, just as you planted the same tree.
As for how to face the challenge, Zhao Weiguo indifferently smile, 'for the challenge, I will see the beginning, and later I will not read, because some people just want you to read these questions, make you feel bad, so you can not focus Work, I think, I looked fooled, I do not see, I do not feel bad .In fact, for our business, as long as it is not a fatal challenge can ignore him (fatal or to explain). The key is to seize and consolidate the bridgehead and speedily cross the river, and when you win it, just as the sun comes out, all the questions are gone.
Talent will not be more expensive than a factory!
With the development and expansion of enterprises, companies need a wide range of talents, Zhao admits: 'In the purple, my mind every day, eight words' Please come to the company because it is cheaper to recruit people than to buy a business, and it is not expensive to recruit more than a single factory, but if you do not have a good leader, the factory runs not good. '
'Others see more of our mergers and acquisitions, but behind this introduction of talent is the real rapid growth in the past few years, purple one of the real' Zhao stressed that 'I think mergers and acquisitions is just a means of buying a ship Boat, a car, a plane, and behind us a lot of very good professionals invited, they are our captain, Captain. Today's violet can rise in the field of integrated circuits and cloud networks; not only in China One place, in the world have a certain influence, the reason is because of our today's purple name cloud.
Entrepreneur to do entrepreneurs!
'On the one hand, I am doing a lot of entrepreneurship, on the other hand, I am an entrepreneurial entrepreneur.' "Zhao Weiguo added a title for himself." Because there are many enterprises under the Purple Light, many of them are leaders. I think I'm more about creating a mechanism, a resource, that helps them do that and make them use their talents, and as they grow and succeed, the result is that Violet is a success.
For the subsidiary, Zhao Weiguo said: 'First, increase the investment in subsidiaries so that it can further develop and grow in its field. The second is to mobilize the resources owned by Zijing to help them, whether it is to coordinate government relations or to act as clients The commander in front of us is on the front line, letting the front lines direct the gunfire, and they are ready to command me for business development.
In Yingtao and Zhu Changhua both are the industry's cattle, Zhao Weiguo said with a smile, 'This integrated circuit circle said Zhao Wei country powerful, in fact, I got the powerful people in. In Yingtao before joining the purple, he served as China Unicom's Chief marketing officer, general manager of Zhejiang Unicom, the man who introduced the Apple phone to China, had the privilege of ever seeing Jobs and negotiating with Tim Cook, the first person in China's FPGA field With international reputation, he is not digging over me.I bought one with his company. 'Xinhua Group III President and CEO Yu Yingtao said,' I think in the workplace, life may change an environment or for another Runway, may be more to achieve their dreams of life.State-owned enterprises have a lot of resources, the platform is large enough, but in a super battleship such as state-owned enterprises, we may only be a chief of staff.But in the purple group, I may be on the one hand Commander of the military, this platform is still not the same. 'State Microelectronics, chairman of Purple Light Zhuchang Hua said,' I think Zhao is always a very deep feelings Entrepreneurs, and want to do a major event, I think that since China's IC industry inside, the Purple Group has come to the forefront of the country, we must follow him to do something major. 'Zhao Weiguo said' in this process, pay attention to personnel training Tens of thousands of people in your office, though he left you someday, provided you have grown up in technical ability, professional ability, managerial ability and personality, and even trained you in the society even after leaving you, so in the process In the process of struggling for the cause of China 's integrated circuits, it is not just going to do something for the industry, but I think it is also a personal and our team' s growth.
