Into 2018, the industry's high concern for Qualcomm can be described as unabated: on the one hand, Qualcomm and the Chinese mobile phone market occupy more than half of the manufacturers signed the 5G pilot program, on the other hand and NXP, Broadcom mergers and acquisitions 'case also' Continue to affect the industry nerve.Micro chairman of Qualcomm China recently said in the era of the upcoming 5G Internet of things and new industries such as automotive background, Qualcomm insisted on rooting in China philosophy, through its 'horizontal empowerment' business Mode and basic technology research and development support, help China's auto electronics, smart car, Internet of Things and other industries better development.
In January of this year, Qualcomm held the 2018 Technology and Cooperation Summit in Beijing and many Chinese manufacturers such as OPPO, vivo, Xiaomi, ZTE and Lenovo attended the conference.For cooperation with Chinese handset manufacturers, Meng Pu said that in the past 20 years or more, The close cooperation between Qualcomm and China's mobile phone industry chain is getting closer and closer, and the cooperation is getting better and better, all of which are the basis for Qualcomm's successful convening of the Technology and Cooperation Summit and the launching of the 5G pilot program.
Speaking on the future opportunities of the 5G industry chain, Meng Pu said Qualcomm is looking forward to further cooperation with various industries in China to jointly promote Chinese enterprises to become pioneers in the industry in the 5G era. As of early February this year, Qualcomm has reached a global scale including 18 operators including China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom, as well as 19 terminal manufacturers including OPPO, vivo, Xiaomi, Lenovo and other Chinese manufacturers reached a cooperation relationship, will use Qualcomm's technology to jointly promote the 5G Global development and accelerated realization.
In the context of the global power 5G, Qualcomm more than a year ago will be on the eyes of the world's top ten semiconductor company NXP, announced the acquisition of the company against this merger, the world now has eight countries or regions in the market The approval of regulatory authorities, China is the last one.This acquisition also caused the concern of Chinese industry.
Meng Pu said NXP's business with almost no overlap with Qualcomm.NP is the world's leading manufacturer of high performance mixed signal semiconductors, its products in the automotive industry, security, networking and the Internet of things have a lot of applications, which is Qualcomm Want to buy NXP important reason.
'On the other hand, we hope that the emerging 5G industry will be able to continue to exert our enabling and enabling role in China's industry through the acquisition of NXP into the Internet of Things and automotive electronics. Buy NXP background. 'Meng stressed stressed.
Industry insiders believe that Qualcomm's acquisition of NXP will have an impact on China's semiconductor industry.Meng Pu said that in view of these concerns, we should 'see the essence through the phenomenon', on the one hand depends on Qualcomm's business model, including after the acquisition of NXP's business model On the other hand, it depends on whether Qualcomm's acquisition of NXP and China's investment and commitment can continue to maintain and strengthen.
Meng Pu stressed: 'From 3G, 4G Along the way, Qualcomm not only as part of the support of the entire industry chain, but also as a whole industry R & D team and R & D momentum exists in accordance with Qualcomm's business model, we have been Is to share the wisdom and promote innovation throughout the entire industry chain in 2017. Seven of the world's top ten mobile phone manufacturers in 2017 are Chinese manufacturers, and the momentum of overseas development is also very good .Then, Qualcomm is very important to promote Power.
Meng Pu said that thanks to its own ability to innovate, Qualcomm has been "leveling-up" related industries through an "invention-sharing-collaboration" business model and is a "level-enabled" company. The acquisition of NXP, Qualcomm will still be based on the principle of promoting globalization, promoting industry-level integration, explore the opportunities brought by the Internet of Things 5G era, so that many Chinese industries and companies can be developed.
In response to the phenomenon of 'vertical integration' in the industry, Meng Pu believes that the development of the Chinese industry over the past few years has benefited from the advantages of horizontal aggregation and promoted the entire manufacturing and industrial capacity in China. The other is the globalization of integration Qualcomm has been playing an active role in these two points, and if vertically integrated, the entire industry can only end up in the hands of a handful of companies, which is not good for most of China's industries of.
On the other hand, Qualcomm is also continuing to increase its investment in and support of the Chinese market.In 2016, Qualcomm established a joint venture with Guizhou Provincial Government Guizhou Huasun Tong Semiconductor Co., Ltd., devoted to the design and development of data center server chips, China has made great progress in building a self-controlled and secure information industry, and the project has progressed smoothly and has achieved positive results. The cooperation between Qualcomm and SMIC has accelerated the mass production of its 28-nanometer capacity and greatly increased its production volume. Qualcomm and Huawei, Belgium IMEC Co-investment SMIC 14-nanometer R & D companies and has achieved initial success of 14-nanometer R & D in 2016, Qualcomm set up its first semiconductor test center in Shanghai in order to better support Chinese customers and partners Meng stressed that these are examples of Qualcomm's continuous investment in China's industrial chain and the beginning of flowering.
Qualcomm has already stepped up its cooperation with leading players in the automotive industry at the 2018. At CES in 2018, Qualcomm announced its cooperation with BYD, the Snapdragon 820A platform that provides support for in-car infotainment systems, electronic meters and more , Which is a good platform for automakers and BYD will adopt the Qualcomm snapdragon platform in its new energy vehicles in 2019. In addition, Qualcomm established an intelligent car joint innovation center with Chongqing Municipality in 2017, It has also set up the IOT Joint Innovation Center in Nanjing, Chongqing, Qingdao, etc. It is also to promote the upgrading of the automotive industry and the development of the Internet of Things industry.
Meng Pu said Qualcomm has always insisted on the concept of rooted in China, the current business in China has accounted for more than 50% of its global business, so he believes Qualcomm more and more like a Chinese company. 'Qualcomm's cooperation with China's industry is very close , It is not the pursuit of short-term interests of the company, the future Qualcomm will long-term roots in China, together with the Chinese industry to seek common development. "Meng Pu finally said.
