Recently, Ziguang Chairman Zhao Weiguo once again made bold statements, hoping to facilitate the acquisition of MediaTek by Spreadtrum and RDA, a subsidiary of Ziguang, and jointly surpass Qualcomm.
Zhao Weiguohao, chairman of Ziguang, said: He wants to acquire MediaTek
MediaTek does not reject the idea of mergers and acquisitions. MediaTek Chairman Cai Ming said that Ziguang’s “advocacy for cross-strait semiconductor industry cooperation coincides with MediaTek’s position.” However, outsiders believe that there are many factors that need to be considered when Ziguang acquires MediaTek, such as the outflow of MediaTek's core technology and whether Taiwanese regulations allow it to cooperate with mainland chip manufacturers.
MediaTek is currently the second largest mobile phone chip manufacturer in the world after Qualcomm, and its development momentum is strong. Ziguang, led by Zhao Weiguo, has acquired Spreadtrum, another major chip manufacturer, and is the largest shareholder of many companies such as H3C, Western Digital and 500 Lottery Network. It also used the Western Digital curve to acquire Sandisk. In the past few years, Ziguang has continued to acquire and reorganize, expanding its presence in the memory semiconductor industry through acquisitions and recruitment of talents. Some media believe that even if Ziguang’s acquisition of MediaTek is just a verbal intention, it is expected that Ziguang will continue to improve its industrial layout through acquisitions in the future.
