Tianyancha APP shows that recently, Guangdong Hongyixin Automotive Electronics Technology has undergone industrial and commercial changes, adding Jiaxing Chuangrong Equity Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership) under SAIC Group, Changzhou Yikong Automotive Electronics Co., Ltd. Jinhua Anxin Zhongyi Industrial Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership) and other shareholders, and the company's registered capital is about 702530,000 yuan increased to about 748470,000 RMB.
Guangdong Hongyixin Automotive Electronics Technology Co., Ltd. was established in August 2021, the legal representative is Zheng Kunkun, the business scope includes integrated circuit manufacturing, integrated circuit design, electronic special materials sales, integrated circuit chip design and services, etc., is an enterprise mainly engaged in computer, communication and other electronic equipment manufacturing. According to the official website, Hongyixin focuses on the design of vehicle-grade digital-analog hybrid chips, and is committed to solving the technical gap and localization substitution in the field of powertrain and chassis chips.
A question about the "soul".
At SAIC's 2020 annual shareholders' meeting, when asked whether SAIC would consider cooperating with Huawei and other third parties in autonomous driving, Chen Hong's words caused a huge wave: "It's like having a company that provides us with an overall solution, so that it becomes the soul and SAIC becomes the body." For such a result, SAIC is unacceptable, and wants to take the soul into its own hands. ”
Chen Hong's words show SAIC's eagerness to get rid of the soulless dilemma in the era of fuel vehicles: for fuel vehicles, the engine is the soul. However, for more than 30 years, the soul of SAIC has been in the hands of General Motors and Volkswagen of Germany, the past of SAIC, created is the "shell" in Chen Hong's mouth, the arrival of the era of new energy vehicles, giving domestic car companies, including SAIC, a chance to start at the same starting line with traditional car trusts, so that the opportunity to "leave a name in history", who is willing to give it away.
"Intelligent" is considered to be the core of the future competition of automobiles, so whoever masters the core technology will have a higher "right to speak", and the importance of chips for intelligence is self-evident. Therefore, it has become inevitable that SAIC, which attaches great importance to the "soul" problem, actively invests in chips.
Frequent investment
In fact, SAIC's investment in automotive intelligence is not an exception, for example, Lipcore recently completed the C round of strategic financing jointly invested by SAIC Venture Capital and Shangqi Capital.
Lipcore provides solutions in the fields of LED display, LED lighting, power management, lithium battery protection, MCU and other consumer and industrial electronics, with shipments reaching 10 billion pieces in the past two years. In the field of automotive chips, Lipchip has planned and laid out products such as on-board controllers, automotive batteries, and automotive lighting, and built a vehicle-grade chip R&D team. Its self-designed automotive-grade power devices, lamp drivers and other products have also entered the tape-out stage, and the packaging and testing factory has passed the IATF 16949:2016 automotive quality management system certification.
For another example, recently, SAIC's Jiaxing SAIC Chuangyong Equity Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership) and Jiaxing Chuangrong Equity Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership) invested in Jiangsu Yilong Electromechanical Technology.
Jiangsu Yilong Electromechanical Technology Co., Ltd. was established in August 2019, the legal representative is Xue Fei, and its business scope includes intelligent vehicle equipment manufacturing, electronic components and electromechanical components equipment manufacturing, auto parts research and development, industrial control computer and system manufacturing, etc. According to its official website, Yilong Electromechanical is a developer of automotive chassis solenoid valve technology products.
Larger investment, such as by Shangqi Capital and SAIC Group strategic direct investment ** jointly led by Hunan Jinxin Electronic Technology *** hundreds of millions of yuan D round of financing, data show that Jinxin Electronics is a professional engaged in digital signal processor (DSP) chip and embedded solutions research and development of integrated circuit design enterprises, which has advanced software and hardware design platform and professional high-quality DSP design team, aiming to develop DSP core technology, to provide customers with independent controllable, safe and reliable, Efficient and available DSP products, solutions and complementary services.
At present, Jinxin Electronics has successfully developed and mass-produced 32-bit fixed-point operation, 32-bit floating point operation and 16-bit fixed-point operation DSP chip product series represented by ADP32, **P32 and ADP16, and is the largest DSP chip manufacturer with the most complete product models and the largest shipment scale in China.
Written in the back: the current rhythm of the domestic new energy automobile industry is difficult to achieve in the past, in the industry window period of an inch of time and an inch of gold large-scale buying and buying is SAIC Motor's use of capital advantages to carry out the "enclosure movement", which is of great significance to SAIC enterprises to achieve chip localization substitution, to ensure the safety of the first chain, for SAIC, the intelligent "soul" must be in their own hands, and only in this way is the "country" is stable.
