Samsung this is good scar forget the pain? Give a little sweetness and forget that you have been pitted?
Recently, according to media reports, the fourth largest wireless communication service provider in the United States has reached an agreement with Samsung Electronics on the supply of telecommunications equipment, including 5G.
What does this mean for Samsung?
You know, Samsung went to Thales, Texas, usa to build a semiconductor foundry, with a total cost of up to $17 billion, which can be said to be Samsung's largest investment scale in the United States. Nowadays, Samsung can also be regarded as finally seeing the "before the return". Although neither side has announced the amount of the contract, according to industry insiders in the industry chain, the value of the agreement between the two sides is likely to exceed 1 trillion won, which is also one of Samsung's largest wireless network contracts in the U.S. telecom operator.
However, then again, there are chip giants such as Intel and Qualcomm in the United States, so why do wireless communication service providers choose to cooperate with Samsung?
Speaking of which, it is really related to the semiconductor foundry built by Samsung in Taylor, Texas, USA. On the one hand, the factory mainly produces cutting-edge system semiconductors, including 5G; on the other hand, the factory is geographically close to Austin, which is easy to form synergies.
In this way, Samsung went to the United States to build a factory or got the "sweetness". But then again, the $52 billion chip bill once launched by the United States attracted foreign companies to build factories in the United States, and seeing that Samsung's factories in the United States were about to start construction in the first half of this year, where was the chip subsidy?
In fact, the release process of this chip subsidy bill in the United States has been full of twists and turns. As for whether chip subsidies will eventually benefit foreign companies such as Samsung and TSMC, there is still no conclusion. Relevant experts have said that the US $52 billion chip bill is mainly to ensure the return of advanced manufacturing in the United States and the security of the US domestic supply chain. Therefore, whether Samsung Can get subsidies is still two theories, and this cooperation agreement is also considered by the industry to be the "sweetness" for Samsung. Do you think this is a compensation?
