On January 26, according to the Nikkei Asian Review today quoted unnamed sources as reporting, under the impetus of new investors, Tsinghua Unigroup will abandon the plan to build major storage plants in two cities, and former President Of japan's Erbida, senior vice president of Tsinghua Unigroup and CEO of the Japanese branch, Yukio Sakamoto has also left.
According to reports, one of the storage plant construction plans that Tsinghua Unigroup was called off this time is the DRAM business in Chongqing. Tsinghua Unigroup originally hoped that Yukio Sakamoto would help set up the DRAM business, and using his experience and contacts, he would build a team of 100 people in Japan and produce DRAM in Chongqing. However, the news shows that the recruitment results are not as expected, coupled with the financial difficulties of Tsinghua Unigroup, the tension between China and the United States has also made it difficult to obtain technology and import advanced chip production equipment.

Not only that, sources revealed that Yukio Sakamoto had left Unigroup in the second half of last year. A spokesman for Yukio Sakamoto confirmed the news.
The report pointed out that the second storage plant abandoned by Unigroup is located in Chengdu, and Tsinghua Unigroup originally planned to set up a $24 billion 3D NAND Flash chip factory. Tsinghua Unigroup had hoped that the Chengdu plant would replicate the successful manufacturing experience of Yangtze Memory Technologies Co., Ltd.
At the end of 2020, it was reported that the memory chip factories of Tsinghua Unigroup in Chongqing and Chengdu were seriously delayed and may be revoked after the default of Tsinghua Unigroup's debts.
In July last year, Unigroup was declared bankrupt by creditors due to the delay in resolving the debt crisis. In December last year, a consortium led by Beijing Jianguang Asset Management Co. and Wise Road Capital became Unigroup's latest Olympic aid. On January 17, the Beijing District Court approved the reorganization plan, which had previously been approved by creditors.
In addition, the report quoted news pointed out that the above-mentioned consortium also formulated a merger of R&D resources of UNISOC Technology (UNISOC), intending to rectify the management team, with the goal of enhancing the company's competitiveness and expanding the market share of 5G. According to the news, after the United States suppressed Huawei, China has not yet had a reliable 5G mobile chip manufacturer, which has worried the local technology industry. Zhan Rui has not yet acquired enough capacity from wafer foundry giants such as TSMC, UMC, and SMIC to expand its market share when Huawei is frustrated.
