Big move! Two billion M&A and restructuring funds in Shanghai have come to target the chip and pharmaceutical industries.In terms of the amount, it is necessary to form a M&A transaction scale of 300 billion yuan, activate the total assets to exceed 2 trillion yuan, and gather 3-5 professional M&A fund managers with strong industry influence. The plan also proposes to make good use of the 10 billion yuan integrated circuit design industry M&A fund and set up a 10 billion yuan biomedical industry M&A fund.Among them, Chengdu Ruiyuan Semiconductor is mainly engaged in the research and development, design, packaging and sales of power management chips, and one of its main products is DC/DC chips. A-share listed companies include Jingfeng Mingyuan, Fumanwei, Shanghai Beiling and Xidiwei, all of which have certain market share and competitiveness in the DC/DC chip market.

Bu Rixin believes that in the past few years, after the IPO tide of semiconductors, especially chip design companies, the IPO dividend period of chip design companies has basically ended. "Except for some large chip fields that have not been completely replaced, there are listed companies in other sub-fields, and these fields have already experienced serious involution at the level of low-end products. In the follow-up, if enterprises in these fields are encouraged to conduct IPOs, it is equivalent to encouraging disorderly competition in the industry. "In addition to the integrated circuit design industry, Shanghai will also set up a M&A fund for the biomedical industry with a scale of 10 billion yuan.For the biomedical industry, Bu Rixin told the reporter of science and technology innovation board Daily that the investment cycle of biomedicine is generally long, and it needs to go through multiple stages from research and development to listing.

Yuan Shuai, the founder of the new productivity meeting room of Xinzhi School, said in an interview with the reporter of science and technology innovation board Daily that the Yangtze River Delta where Shanghai is located is an important place of integrated circuit industry, and the establishment of the 10 billion yuan integrated circuit design industry M&A fund is a strong support for Shanghai's semiconductor design industry.However, in the field of large chips such as GPU, it has not yet run out of listed companies. It can be seen that Moore Thread, Biwa Technology, Suiyuan Technology, etc. have started the listing counseling process one after another.It is worth mentioning that the Action Plan also mentioned that if the "chain owner" enterprises carry out mergers and acquisitions around the key links of the industrial chain through enterprise venture capital (CVC), the establishment of CVC funds will be included in the fast track. At the same time, government investment funds can participate in M&A fund investment through common shares, preferred shares and convertible bonds, and make appropriate profits.
