So we need to have full mental preparation for that.' Then we prepared ourselves mentally and the backup plan came out."

Storyline


Huawei's chipset subsidiary, HiSilicon, is poised to become the primary supplier to Huawei following the United States' ban on supplying parts to the tech company, said Ren Zhengfei, the founder and president of Chinese tech giant Huawei, last Tuesday.

Founded in 2004, HiSilicon provides chipset solutions for wireless communications, smart devices, digital media and other fields. Earlier this month, it said that it will use backup chips that it has independently developed for years to circumvent the ban from the United States.

When asked why they planned the backups 15 years ago when the global supply chain was normal, Ren confessed that they had once planned to sell HiSilicon.

"Let me put it this way. We once planned to sell it to a U.S. company at a price of 10 billion U.S. dollars, because we all knew further development of HiSilicon would inevitably lead to clashes with the United States. At that time, we signed all the contracts and finished all the procedures to sell the company," said Ren.

But thing changed faster than they planned.

"Then the board of directors of that U.S. company changed, and the new chairman vetoed the acquisition. So we had to return and discuss whether to sell it. Young people were radical and they insisted that we should not sell it. Then we said, 'If we do not sell it, we will definitely be the loser when we meet the U.S. on top of the mountain 10 years later, because we cannot win against their bayonets and when they are hiking smoothly with beef, cans and coffee, we are climbing with dried food in backpacks and we may not be as good as them when reaching the mountain top. So we need to have full mental preparation for that.' Then we prepared ourselves mentally and the backup plan came out," said Ren.

Now HiSilicon has a five chipset series for intelligent devices, data centers and artificial intelligence and its Kirin chipset has become competitive in the market.

Some analysts have said that Huawei's research and development on chipsets is among the best in the world.

Thanks to HiSilicon, Ren said the U.S. ban will have very little impact on Huawei.
