Why the layout of home appliance enterprisesChip industry?

In addition, there are kang Jia, TCL, Changhong, chuangwei and other brands have already set foot on the “core” road. What are the reasons for the layout of chips in home appliance enterprises?
Some analysts say that most of the chips used by home appliance enterprises are purchased from overseas, and the era of smart home and the Internet of Things has come, which has brought huge demand for smart chips, and the early layout of the chip and semiconductor industry can avoid being controlled by others. For Gree, it would be more feasible to buy a stake in an established chip semiconductor company than to make its own chips. Gree Electric Appliances has abundant cash flow. In the smart home transformation process, it needs a large number of chips and semiconductors. The active layout of the chip industry is considered from the perspective of its own industrial security, which is conducive to the stability of the upstream chip supply field and increases its voice in the upstream chip industry.
Ping An Securities also said chips in the home appliance industry to occupy a much smaller position than communications equipment industry. At present, the layout of home appliance enterprises chip is inevitable to gather hot spots “follow the trend” suspicion, lack of specific planning for the future development, the implementation of great pressure. Home appliance enterprises and chip manufacturing enterprises “join hands”, through equity, joint ventures and other forms of involvement in this new field, can be regarded as a safe move.
40 billion projects have been postponed
After Hillhouse capital took over Gree Electric Appliances with 40 billion yuan, new changes were made. On the evening of November 11, Gree Electric Appliances announced that zhuhai Mingjun and the controlling shareholders plan to postpone the signing of the share transfer agreement in view of the remaining issues in the share transfer agreement. Tuesday’s sharp drop in Gree’s share price may have something to do with it.
