Therefore, the problem of global core shortage has affected the development of many domestic enterprises, and we have been in a weak position in the field of chips. China is a big importer of chips, and its chip sources all depend on American G. It is precisely because of this technological gap that domestic enterprises have encountered a bottleneck crisis.
Therefore, in addition to Huawei, many domestic companies have also begun to lay out the semiconductor field, and Gree is one of them. At the beginning, Dong Mingzhu announced that 20 18 would enter the semiconductor field. Many netizens are watching the drama, thinking that Gree can't achieve anything in the semiconductor field, but Dong Mingzhu kept his promise and can now hand in his report card.
Just recently, Gree also brought good news. At present, Gree's self-developed chips have started mass production, and the annual output of Gree chips will exceed100000. Such news is really surprising, surprising.
Gree founded Zero Boundary Integrated Circuit Co., Ltd. three years ago. The registered capital of this company has reached 654.38 billion yuan. This company mainly studies the design and development of industrial 32-bit MCU and AloT SoC, which can be used in consumer electronics, medical care, intelligent robots and other fields. Today, this company has applied for 195 patented technologies, and the development speed is quite amazing.
MCU is equivalent to integrating all the hosts of a computer into a small chip, so MCU can also be understood as a microcomputer. This kind of chip is mainly used in common household appliances in life, such as air conditioners and televisions, which all need MCU chips.
The chips that Gree has mass-produced and put into use are self-developed MCU chips, and many of Gree's home appliances have begun to use self-developed MCU chips. In fact, China's MCU chip market is also blank, and the world's eight MCU companies account for nearly 90% of the global market. Unfortunately, there is no domestic enterprise on the list, so the success of Gree's self-developed MCU chip has also helped China enterprises make up for the vacancy in the MCU chip market.
Dong Mingzhu once said that Gree would carry out the chip research to the end even if it spent 50 billion yuan. Now it seems that Gree really did it, and Dong Mingzhu really did it. In my opinion, there are two reasons why Dong Mingzhu is so determined to develop its own chips:
First, Dong Mingzhu has realized the importance of mastering core technologies. Although Gree is only an electrical appliance company, domestic appliances also need chips. In addition to mobile phone manufacturers such as Huawei, Gree also needs chips.
However, after seeing what happened to many domestic enterprises because their chips were stuck in the neck of the United States, Dong Mingzhu also understood that without his own technology, he could not get rid of the potential crisis of being stuck in the neck, and he did not feel safe enough. Only when we have our own technology and make Gree's products 100% localized can we have autonomy and the right to speak.
Second: Gree must have a good MCU chip to ensure product quality. To ensure product quality and reduce costs, self-research is the only way out.
To sum up, if domestic enterprises have the consciousness of being prepared for danger in times of peace like Gree, then domestic science and technology will have a better future, and self-research is the only way out, which domestic enterprises need to understand.
