On the evening of December 24, the official blog of Xiaomi Group issued a statement: Recently, there have been a large number of rumors and false reports about a chip company related to Xiaomi circulating on the Internet. As for this irresponsible and completely false information, we have completed the collection of evidence and reported it to the relevant departments, and made a solemn clarification.
Xiaomi said that Hanxing Venture Capital, an investment company under the group, participated in the financing of a chip company in 2022, which is a normal financial investment behavior. It has participated in multiple rounds of financing of the chip company, with a total of many national and local industrial development companies and more than 20 financial investment institutions.
As one of the company's many shareholders, Xiaomi is neither the earliest investor, nor the largest investor, nor the dominant investor in several rounds of financing, Xiaomi said.
Xiaomi said in a statement that Xiaomi is not involved in the direct management and operation of the chip company, and does not have any intellectual property rights or technical cooperation with the company. Xiaomi attaches great importance to intellectual property rights and resolutely opposes the theft of trade secrets through illegal means.
It is worth noting that in August this year, Huawei's Shanghai HiSilicon Technology Co., Ltd. and Zunpai Communication Technology (Nanjing)**, hereinafter referred to as "Zunpai Communications"), and other applications for pre-litigation property preservation, the first-instance non-litigation preservation review ruling was made public.
According to the documents, the applicant, Shanghai Hisilicon Technology, applied to the court for pre-litigation property preservation, requesting to freeze the bank deposits of the respondent Zuopai Communication Technology (Nanjing)** and its branches in Shanghai, Beijing, Suzhou, and Shenzhen, as well as its subsidiaries and subsidiaries Shanghai Zumpai Communication Technology***, or to seal, freeze, and seize other assets with corresponding values. The court found that the above-mentioned application complied with the provisions of the law and ruled to enforce it.
According to industrial and commercial information, Zunpai Communication Technology (Nanjing)** is jointly held by Shanghai Kunhao Enterprise Management Partnership (Limited Partnership), Zhang Kun, Hanxing Venture Capital***, etc. Founded on January 27, 2021, Shanghai Kunhao is an enterprise mainly engaged in business services.
In the official introduction, Zunpai Communication has completed a total financing of more than 300 million yuan in one year after its establishment.
In May 2022, Zunpai Communications announced the completion of hundreds of millions of yuan in pre-A round of financing, which is composed of well-known financial investment institutions and industrial investors such as Xiaomi Group, Hushan Capital, Skyline Capital, Jiayu Capital, Haiwang Capital under Shanghai Kechuang and Mercedes-Benz Information, and industrial investors, and the funds will be mainly used for R&D investment, chip testing, market expansion and company operation. Previously, in May 2021, Zunpai Communications completed an angel round of financing of nearly 100 million yuan led by Gaorong Capital and followed by Jiangbei Jiakang Technology.
In addition, a news revealed by the Economic Crime Investigation Corps of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau on December 21 has attracted attention.
According to the Economic Crime Investigation Corps of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau, after investigation, in February 2021, in order to obtain illegal benefits, Zhang, Liu and others, the former executives of the rights company, set up a technology company after leaving their jobs, and induced a number of R&D personnel of the original rights company to jump to their companies by paying high salaries and equity inducements, and instructed these personnel to illegally obtain the chip technology information of the rights company through excerpts and screenshots before leaving the company, and plagiarized and applied it to the same type of chip designed by Zhang's company, in an attempt to make illegal profits.

After identification, 40 technical points of the infringing chip technology are more than 90% identical to the secret points of the trade secrets of the rights company, constituting substantial sameness. Zhang's gang's act of stealing secrets led to the loss of the rights company's trade secrets, and it should be determined that the rights company suffered losses based on the commercial value of the trade secrets, such as the cost of research and development of the trade secrets, the proceeds from the implementation of the trade secrets, and so on.
Shanghai Economic Investigation ECID
On April 19 this year, with the strong cooperation of Jiangsu, Shanghai ** carried out a centralized network collection operation in Shanghai and Suzhou, and successfully arrested 14 core members of the company involved in the case, including Zhang, Liu and others, and investigated and dealt with them in a timely manner before the infringing chips were put into mass production.
At present, 4 main suspects, including Zhang and Liu, have been arrested on suspicion of infringing on trade secrets, and the remaining 10 suspects have been released on bail pending trial in accordance with the law.
