Recently, the violet-based capital - Violet Holdings wantonly buy and buy in the Hong Kong stock market caused another public concern.
Purple control in the December 19 to 22 for a total of 4 days for a total of 4.51 million shares bought a total of Legend Holdings, the cumulative holdings of Legend Holdings accounted for more than 5% of the week, Lenovo Holdings shares rose more than 50% total.In addition, the Purple Holdings At the same time to buy SMIC shares, has reached 5% of the placards.
In fact, the violet-based capital operation tradition has a long history, since the merger of chips, storage industry leader in order to seek development.It can be said that the Group is the start of mergers and acquisitions, but it all stood at the helm Zhao Weiguo. From the media coverage, Zhao Weiguo is not a low-key entrepreneur, he often on many occasions to express his views on the Group and the development of China Everbright Group's views and opinions.
Recently, the reporter of Investor News sent a letter to the company on many occasions regarding the problems of capital merger and acquisition and enterprise endogenous development of Ziguang Group Chairman, but did not get any explanation.
Two times into the purple group
Zhao Weiguo deep ties with Tsinghua University, his undergraduate, graduate students are studying in Tsinghua University.After graduation, Tsinghua University has twice entered the purple group, also set up during the establishment of Jiankun Group.
According to public information, Zhao Weiguo was born in 1967, and was in poor Shawan County, Xinjiang in 1985. After 1985, Zhao Weiguo got the e-Department of Tsinghua University, and Zhao Wei-guo He even said in an interview: 'Before going to college I thought I was a genius, but I found Tsinghua talent is someone else.' With such a psychological gap, Zhao Wei country began to re-positioning their own lives, at that time, The emergence of this book "Silicon Valley Hot" triggered Zhao Weiguo's entrepreneurial dream, which also laid the foundation for his subsequent departure from the sea to choose to start a business.
In 1997, Zhaoweiguo joined Ziguang Group as the deputy general manager of Group Automation Engineering Division, and this time Zhaowei Guo entered Ziguang Group once, and after one year of Ziguang Group, ZHAO Wei-Guo became another company of Tsinghua University in 1997 Tongfang Electronics's general manager position in 1999, China's Internet rapid warming, Zhao Weiguo realized that this is a good opportunity, so invest 500,000 yuan to set up the China Medical Network, and later the site was a foreign fund to 500 million acquisition of 40% Shares, which is his first pot of gold and then, Zhao Wei country continue to seek investment opportunities in the market, into the energy, real estate and other fields.In 2004, Zhao Weiguo even resigned from his post and founded Jiankun Group, which is also his In the true sense of the first venture.
In 2009, Jiankun Group, a 49% stake in Ziguang Group, Zhao Weiguo himself has also served as president of the Group, chairman of the Group, which is also a lapse of more than ten years later, Zhao Weiguo once again returned to the Group.
Was labeled 'M & A Mad Men' label
However, this time, Zhao Weiguo Ziguang Group to choose the breakthrough is the integrated circuit, the chip is the carrier of integrated circuits.Chip is widely used, as small as ID cards, bank cards, large computers, mobile phones and even aircraft, all need to place the chip, However, the domestic chip research and development and production is still very backward.
It is understood that China is the world's largest chip demand market, but the domestic chip market share of less than 10%, which means that China's core more than 90% rely on imports.
Zhao faces a huge challenge, but he chose to seek future growth through mergers and acquisitions, which made him labeled the M & A Mad Men.
In June 2013, Ziguang Group proposed a wholly-owned takeover offer to Spreadtrum Communications Limited at a price of US $ 28.5 per share, eventually privatizing Spreadtrum Communications for US $ 1.78 billion. Later, Ziguang Group acquired Ruddidian for US $ 910 million On May 22, 2015, Ziguang Group announced a deal with Hewlett-Packard to acquire its 51% stake in Xinhua III by its subsidiary Ziguang (72.030, -3.27, -4.34%) for no less than $ 2.3 billion At the end of September of the same year, Ziguang Group acquired a 15% stake in Western Digital for US $ 3.8 billion and set up a joint venture with Western Digital in 2016. Xizang Western Digital Co., Ltd. is committed to providing big data storage solutions and services.In addition, In 2014, Intel also spent 1.5 billion US dollars in shares of the Purple Group, the two reached an alliance.
Particularly noteworthy is that Zhaoweiguo mergers and acquisitions companies, whether Spreadtrum Communications, or Rudi Di, are the first-class chip industry companies, we can see that he is looking forward to the future development of the Group.
Zhaowei Guo once told the media, 'We passed the three mergers and acquisitions, the three alliances in two years quickly completed the layout of the ecosystem in the field of integrated circuits. Three mergers and acquisitions are: mergers and acquisitions Spreadtrum, Rudi Di, Xinhua three; the three alliances are: Alliance Intel Western Digital and Hewlett-Packard.
'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 common memory chip between Spreadtrum and Xinhua III, said Zhao Weiguo.
Respond to capital operation questions
Why did we choose to lend capital to seek development? Zhao Weiguo once gave an answer in an interview. "The backwardness of China's semiconductor industry has changed. Only through mergers and acquisitions can we find a bridgehead that is parallel to the world. First, we must find a place to work with the world through capital operation Start at a starting line, and then organize the charge of power, will it be possible to succeed.
In fact, in addition to mergers and acquisitions, Zhaowei Guo led the capital also chose to stake in shares, etc., control chip, IT, storage and other related companies in various industries.According to incomplete media statistics, as of December 27, Core (47.990, 0.00, 0.00%), shares of violet, ST violet, but also appeared in the 26 A-share listed companies outstanding shareholders.
Various capital operation measures made Zhao Weiguo often questioned whether he was playing capital or not. However, he said: 'What is the capital to buy, and then sold to others, Continuously increase investment, from a pony into a horse, Maxima.For enterprises, the development is the core, M & A is only a means at a specific stage.So an entrepreneur should combine your industrial ideals and business reality In order to be able to illuminate the future of the enterprise, I am sure I resorted to capital, with the help of such a tool, but used it in a career I loved and paid for it.
It is understood that at present the Yangtze River Storage Group has developed a 32-layer 64G completely independent intellectual property rights of 3D NAND (a storage device) chip, 2018 will be mass production.
However, the development strategy of Ziguang Group has also been adjusted. In addition to the epitaxial growth such as mergers and acquisitions, Zouwei Group has also placed an end to the inherent growth of self-developed R & D. Zhaowei Guo recently said that although Ziguang entered the chip industry through mergers and acquisitions, The focus of work has shifted completely to independent research and development. 'From this point of view, the future development of the Group may be more to test the internal strength, and Zhao Weiguo can withstand the test, but also need to experience the test of time.
