In this regard, Bu Rixin believes that "chain owners" enterprises, as market-oriented institutions, set up CVC funds and will carry out horizontal and vertical mergers and acquisitions around the upstream and downstream of key industrial chains. "This kind of M&A will help chain-owner enterprises to expand their market scale and enhance their market competitiveness, which is the most in line with the logic of M&A and the basic logic of the Action Plan to encourage chain-owner enterprises to set up CVC funds."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. "Bu Rixin, a partner of Chuangdao Investment Consulting, said in an interview with the science and technology innovation board Journal that the 10 billion M&A fund is mainly aimed at the "integrated circuit design industry", which may be related to the end of the IPO dividend period of chip design companies.
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."The government's participation in M&A fund investment does not mean that the government will dominate the M&A business, but encourage market-oriented institutions and chain owners to lead the M&A business through the above-mentioned M&A fund or parent fund support." Bu Rixin believes.In its view, this 10 billion M&A fund is not only 10 billion yuan, but also a way for the government to encourage and guide M&A through the amplification of M&A funds. "In short, whether it is the M&A fund of the integrated circuit design industry or the M&A fund of biomedicine, the core purpose is to guide the orderly development of the industry and avoid the dependence on the IPO path, leading to excessive competition in the industry."
The "Action Plan" proposes to strive to land a number of representative M&A cases in key industries by 2027, and cultivate about 10 internationally competitive listed companies in key industries such as integrated circuits, biomedicine and new materials.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.The "10 billion yuan M&A fund for integrated circuit design industry" stated in the Action Plan is considered by the market as a supplement to the 100 billion yuan parent fund for the three leading industries.
