[Global Technology Reporter Wang Huan] According to a report from Japan’s Kyodo News on June 7, Toshiba’s semiconductor subsidiary “Toshiba Memory†(located in Tokyo) has negotiated the sale of two parties, which are joint venture partners. Western Digital (WD) and the well-capitalized US semiconductor giant Broadcom, in fact, will form a one-on-one competition. WD previously demonstrated the idea of ​​building a new factory in Yokkaichi City, Mie Prefecture, which is operated jointly by Toshiba, and made publicity after making significant concessions to the acquisition plan. Negotiations due on the 28th will usher in the final moment.

On the same day, WD issued a statement signed by CEO (CEO) Steve Milligan. It stated that "we will continue to invest effectively in improving R&D and manufacturing capabilities." It means that about 700 technicians in the WD area of ​​the factory will continue to be employed. The new plant will be built on the basis of the six plants currently in operation and under construction.
WD focuses on how to deal with the sharp contradiction between the semiconductor business and Toshiba, but now it will abandon the dominant position of Toshiba Memory and other lower positions. Whether or not the "Japan-U.S. Consortium" will be established on the basis of its groping and industrial innovation agency and Japan Policy Investment Bank will become the focus.
In addition to its financial strength, Broadcom’s advantage over WD is that it does not have to take into account the problems in the “anti-monopoly law†and is recognized. However, its idea of ​​maintaining employment and equipment is not clear, and it is doubtful whether the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of the country, as a national policy, is seeking to protect semiconductors.
Hon Hai Precision Industry and South Korea SK Hynix are striving to regain their disadvantages. The United States, Apple, Amazon and other companies are expected to join the acquisition of Hon Hai. However, due to fears of technology leakage, the Ministry of Economy and Economy has not changed its negative attitude.
In addition, the Industrial Innovation Agency and a number of Japanese companies have jointly invested in the acquisition of Toshiba Memory. However, it is rumored that Fujitsu President Tanaka Tadaka, one of the funders, also expressed negative attitude toward the acquisition of the company on the 6th at the business policy briefing. He said that he is "watching for trends" and said "I don't think I can give reasonable explanations to Fujitsu's shareholders."
