According to the registration data of the Business Department of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Taiwan, the registered capital of the coreway interconnection established in the second half of last year was only NT$500,000, the company’s representative was Huang Zhihui, and other materials were quite small. Since its establishment, it has actively designed the local ICs, ASIC and AI. The relevant corporate talents have thrown up their olive branches because Bitland’s salary conditions in Taiwan are better than those of the first-tier companies, and mining and AI are all popular industries. Indeed, many talents have been attracted to the battle. They formed at the end of last year. Hopping peak.
The previous episode Weihua reported that Bitland’s Taiwanese employees already have more than 100 employees, and the person in charge is the former head of the company. The main focus of the R&D team in Taiwan is AI, which is in line with the strategy of Bitland’s transition to the field of artificial intelligence. According to the micro-grid network, Bitzheng Taiwan’s actual R&D person in charge is Wu Zhenyu, the former R&D deputy chief of R&D. After the media product line issues of MediaTek and Morningstar were all resolved, Morningstar established him from scratch, last December. The job-hopping to the core channel interconnection, also brought more than 100 people Morningstar's R & D team to go together.
Undoubtedly, the rapid rise of Bitland last year has spurred the growth of Taiwanese semiconductor supply chain manufacturers. TSMC, Riyueguang, Silicon Products, Creative, Shixin, Shan State, and Lilong are all believed to be their suppliers. After the high growth period last year, the fluctuations in the Bitcoin market this year have had a serious impact on the supply chain. In the second quarter, Bitland cut its supply chain by 50% to 60%, and the pull of goods has slowed down significantly and has had a negative impact. It may continue into the third quarter.
The Taiwanese supply chain is undoubtedly love and hateful. Now, perhaps it is unbearable to bitter mainland's crazy dredging. MediaTek recently sent a letter to the core channel Internet, requesting that it not hinder business secrets and intellectual property rights. A spokesperson for MediaTek said that Any employee who leaves the company will, as usual, warn against violating the terms of the non-competition clause. Once the audit has found that it does violate the regulations, it will take legal actions to defend the company's rights and interests.
It is reported that after this period of audit, MediaTek formally sent a letter to the Internet last week to remind the company to respect the intellectual property rights and business secrets of its peers in order to avoid illegal activities. It is understood that other companies also have the same employee who has jumped to the core. The reminder document. MediaTek also stated in the letter of submission that according to Taiwan regulations, 'If you obtain a business secret by improper methods, or you use it after you have obtained it, you may be sentenced to imprisonment or criminal detention of up to five years and you will be treated to NT$1 million. If the intention is to use it in foreign countries, mainland China or Hong Kong and Macao, it may be punished with a maximum imprisonment of up to ten years, with NT$3 million or more and fines of up to 50 million.'
The industry believes that MediaTek sends out warnings to both excavation companies and job-hopping employees to avoid infringement of intellectual property rights and business secrets.
Taiwan’s electronic industry chain sources told Micronet that Wu Zhentao was responsible for quite a few important plans. He had also passed through Cai Mingjie. He said that the R&D technology of Taiwan’s first-tier IC design companies is ahead of the rest, and the design capability is beyond doubt. Whether it's the fab's component characteristics or its familiarity with design tools, whether or not it has stolen the technology or products of its former owners, their experience is invaluable, enabling the new company to take many detours and reduce the cost of trial and error. And time cost.
For the original intention of MediaTek to issue a letter of warning, the industry believes that because Bitland has developed its own chip for its own mining machine itself, it is also considered to be one of the IC design companies. It has also invested in the production of TSMC. Last year, it ranked among the top five customers of TSMC. However, The product line with MediaTek is completely incompatible with the competition. The two parties are temporarily unable to compete with each other. However, because both parties are actively cutting into the AI chipset, they will still have a chance to become competitors in the future. It should be the main cause of MediaTek’s warning. Another important reason is warning. After leaving the company, he also warned that after all, which company would be willing to be the training place for others?
