According to US media reports, Huawei companies have spent billions of dollars to invest in related companies in order to solve technical problems. The company has been copying the development of China's semiconductor supply chain, in addition to chip companies, as well as the semiconductor field, which is very important for Huawei's development. Not only to solve the technical problems existing in the current business development, but also to profit from them in the future.
In order to solve the investment problem, Huawei has set up a relevant fund to be responsible for this matter. Because Huawei is not listed, the details of the current fund investment have not been announced in time, but some sources pointed out that the number of investment companies continues to increase, all of which are leaders in the industry and will continue to increase in the future.
The United States suppresses Huawei
Since the U.S. government imposed an export ban on Huawei in 2019, Huawei has faced problems not only in Western countries that cannot be used on a large scale, but also has technical difficulties, so it founded Harbo Technology Venture Capital Co., Ltd. I hope to invest in these enterprises and hope to solve technical problems in advance. So far, 56 companies have been invested, most of which are participants in the semiconductor supply chain.
The business of these companies has a lot to do with Huawei's current business, and the two sides are upstream and downstream relationships. If these technical problems can be solved, for Huawei, it can also get rid of the problem of being "stuck in the neck" by the United States. So investing in these related companies, that's really necessary.
Break the blockade of Western technology
At present, many high-tech companies will set up similar investment funds, such as Xiaomi, OPPO and Lenovo Group, all of which are prepared for the rain. Of course, in addition to the current problems of the company itself, the future can live a good financial income. The semiconductor supply chain itself is very long, and the intermediate links are more complicated, and if Huawei invests in such a company, it can get the priority supply right in advance.
For Huawei's future, CEO Ren Zhengfei has long revealed that theoretical breakthroughs are needed in the future, especially in some key technology areas. At present, China has made the realization of self-sufficiency in chip technology as the primary task of current research, hoping to get rid of the technical blockade of Western countries.
Of course, if you want to achieve self-sufficiency in the semiconductor industry, there is still a long way to go, and it cannot be successfully solved in a short time. However, many high-tech companies have been born in this industry, and some key problems have been solved, so that chips have been localized, and related problems have been solved to a certain extent. But we also need to recognize the reality that most of the chips produced by Huawei are externally produced, such as TSMC. By controlling these companies, coupled with restrictions on Huawei, the U.S. government is trying to prevent them from producing chips for Huawei.
