Song Shiqiang on Strategy: Highlights from the 2026 electronica Shanghai Dialogues
2026-07-21 102
In early July 2026, Kinghelm and Slkor made a high-profile appearance at 2026 electronica Shanghai, sending a team of over 30 people and occupying a 72-square-meter booth with a technologically striking and visually powerful layout. As a thought leader in Huaqiangbei, General Manager Mr. Song Shiqiang was invited to the eefocus Executive Dialogue live studio, participated in interviews and live streaming with Zhixin Suge’s "GESA Chip Shines East," and contributed to a special written interview with Hc360.com – all of which drove strong exposure and deep brand engagement for "Kinghelm" and "Slkor." At electronica Shanghai, Kinghelm and Slkor showcased their capabilities alongside international giants such as TE Connectivity, Amphenol, Molex, Hirose, Infineon, Texas Instruments, STMicroelectronics, and onsemi, as well as outstanding domestic players including Electric Connector, Changjiang Connector, Silan Micro, China Resources Micro, and Jiejie Microelectronics – competing, exchanging ideas, and growing together. Song Shiqiang on Strategy I: "Slkor: Chinese Semiconductors Going Global" Mr. Song Shiqiang, founder of Slkor Semiconductor, engaged in a compelling discussion with Mr. Li Jian, senior industry analyst at eefocus, on the theme "Slkor: Chinese Semiconductors Going Global." Slkor Semiconductor founder Song Shiqiang (left) with eefocus senior industry analyst Li Jian Chinese power semiconductors are transitioning from the "chip shortage" dividend period to the deep waters of market competition. As global chip supplies normalize and international brands cut prices to recapture market share, the window for domestic substitution is narrowing. In this context, Mr. Song shared the "disruptive innovation" path he has practiced throughout his entrepreneurial journey. Mr. Song Shiqiang (left) at the eefocus live studio Song pointed out that while cutting-edge technologies like silicon carbide have great promise, their R&D and commercialization cycles are lengthy, making them less optimal for startups. Slkor chose to start with products such as MOSFETs, IGBTs, and bridge rectifiers – technologies that are relatively mature, have lower entry barriers, and shorter cycles, enabling rapid cash flow generation. Later, the company added ESD protection diodes, TVS transient suppression diodes, power management ICs, and other analog products. This strategy reflects a deep understanding and flexible application of the economic principles of "disruptive innovation" – which involves breaking through from niche markets to the core, penetrating and gradually displacing high-end products from the low-end, ultimately achieving sustained innovation and breakthroughs. At the same time, Slkor and its sister company Kinghelm have built a unique dual-brand synergistic ecosystem. Mr. Song recalled that the initial rationale for running the "Kinghelm" and "Slkor" dual brands was to diversify risks from market fluctuations and public listing. Unexpectedly, both brands have flourished, and cross-orders from customers have generated a "1+1>2" ecological reuse effect – with upfront investments in brand penetration, sample delivery, employee training, and internal knowledge engineering paying off in one go. Song Shiqiang: We want to let time verify our products, our brand, and the value of our team Song attributes the competitiveness of Chinese semiconductor companies to two factors: first, the diligence of the Chinese people, with sustained positive labor input driving rapid product iteration; second, the maturity of the domestic industrial chain, where technology and market mutually reinforce each other in a virtuous cycle. However, he also clearly recognizes that competition is intensifying. In a weak economy, massive capital has flooded into the electronics information sector, and the growth in industry output value lags far behind the influx of speculative capital. "Competing on price, efficiency, and response speed" has become the norm. Currently, Slkor is evolving from "product going global" to a new stage of "comprehensive globalization," aiming to secure a prominent position in the global power semiconductor landscape. Song remarked: "Our company has a rule: we don’t do things that can be done by three to five people, nor things that can be done in three to five years. We want to let time verify our products, our brand, and the value of our team. This is also our corporate firewall." Song Shiqiang on Strategy II: "Kinghelm and Slkor: The Path to IPO Through Dual-Brand Synergy" Zhixin Suge (left) and Mr. Song Shiqiang (right) Zhixin Suge, leading CGC · Champion Strategy, visited the Kinghelm and Slkor booth at W5.317, engaging with Mr. Song in a deep dialogue exploring the "chip" ocean – with culture as the oar, thought as the sail, and action as the vessel. CGC · Champion Strategy Visits Kinghelm Song Shiqiang: Kinghelm’s goal is the stars and the sea – to become a publicly listed company representing a national brand! "Kinghelm" conveys a powerful sense of strength, rich in meaning and depth. "Kinghelm – Connecting the World." In 2007, Shenzhen Kinghelm Electronics Co., Ltd. set sail from Huaqiangbei, Shenzhen. Its technical team, rooted in Tsinghua University and the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, has attracted outstanding professionals, deepened its expertise in microwave RF technology, and established new technology research institutes in collaboration with universities. Today, it has grown into a nationally recognized high-tech enterprise, industry-leading in the R&D, production, sales, and technical services of RF microwave signal transmission products and comprehensive solutions. High technology, superior quality, and safety are our unremitting pursuits. Mr. Song explained that Kinghelm’s English name combines "King" (meaning sovereign) and "helm" (the rudder that steers direction and navigates storms). "Kinghelm" signifies ambitious goals, fearlessness in the face of challenges, and the pursuit of a royal path – embodying the Eastern wisdom of "Inner Sage, Outer King" and "Great Virtue Sustains All Things" advocated by Mr. Song. "Kinghelm – Connecting the World." Since its founding in 2007, the company has successfully shaped the "King’s Rudder" brand image, achieving remarkable success in the Beidou satellite navigation and positioning systems and related products, leading industry trends, and emerging as a "leading enterprise" in the sector. Meanwhile, its market share in the connector segment continues to grow, and the "Kinghelm" brand enjoys influence and reputation in international markets. Mr. Song emphasized that Kinghelm’s slogan is "Kinghelm – Connecting the World." "We strive to produce excellent products, capture more market share, and serve more customers. Kinghelm’s corporate vision is to make our antennas and connectors serve a broad customer base, facilitating smooth global communication and social harmony. Products are the vessel; culture is the soul. Culture empowers products with a 'brand soul.' Our goal is the stars and the sea – to become a publicly listed company representing a national brand, and to bring our 'Inner Sage, Outer King' corporate culture and 'Kinghelm' brand products to the world. A public listing signifies success for both our individuals and the company, and enables our employees to share more in the rewards. It is precisely our people-centric philosophy – 'good work leads to a good life' – and the organizational and behavioral mechanisms built upon it, combined with ensuring that knowledge density, talent structure, systems, processes, and mechanisms efficiently complete the business loop, that have enabled Kinghelm to achieve high efficiency, greater rewards for colleagues, an ever-growing team with stronger cohesion and commitment, and rapid and steady development even during industry downturns." CGC · Champion Strategy Visits Slkor Song Shiqiang: Slkor aims to become one of the world’s most competitive semiconductor companies "Slkor–Chips Driven future." Since its founding in 2015, Slkor has risen as a formidable contender. Its technical backbone comes from Tsinghua University and Yonsei University in South Korea, leading the company with new materials, new processes, and new products, and mastering world-leading third-generation semiconductor silicon carbide power device technology. "Slkor" – trust is the foundation, righteousness is the soul; trust is inscribed in the vessel, righteousness is fulfilled in action. This conviction drives our continuous exploration of cutting-edge semiconductor technologies. Our friends are spread across four seas, and our products reach five continents. Together with its sister company Kinghelm, Slkor has formed a high-speed development model driven by the interactive push of the "Kinghelm" and "Slkor" brands and products, deeply integrated with China’s booming semiconductor chip market. We treat our colleagues with care, develop products with dedication, serve our customers with heart, and hope to make the future better through our products and technologies. Song noted that ultimately, business success comes down to culture. Taking the 2026 electronica Shanghai as an example, over 2,000 top exhibitors from home and abroad competed on the same stage – from booth design and corporate videos to team core competencies and individual best performances. On the surface, it was all about selling products, finding customers, and boosting sales, but in essence, it was a showcase of culture, strength, and depth – and also an opportunity to train the team and empower each employee. These are the "soul" elements. What deserves reflection is how to effectively present team spirit, company strength, brand influence, technological and product leadership; how to disseminate corporate values, vision, and mission efficiently and accurately through corporate videos; and how to understand the essence of service, customers’ latent needs, and differentiated competitive strategies – these are the gaps between Chinese companies and multinational giants in the process of globalization. Song particularly emphasized that Slkor’s global strategy follows a path of specialization, differentiation, and high-end development, consciously resisting "involution-style" competition, and surviving and growing amidst multiple constraints. It has become one of the best-developed companies in China’s semiconductor sector. This differentiated competition means continuous innovation, continuous deployment, continuous self-pressure, and continuous self-breakthrough. Only thus could Slkor seize the opportunity at 2026 electronica Shanghai to showcase its strength, creativity, corporate culture, and attention to detail to peers and partners worldwide. Observing over the past few days, I found that the Slkor and Kinghelm booth attracted more foot traffic, energy, and visitor flow than neighboring booths – because our team arrived earliest and most completely, everyone prepared thoroughly upon arrival, kept working hard, helped each other, and spontaneously reviewed and summarized experiences during breaks. Improving a little every day, staying focused on our goals – it is this spirit that enables Slkor Semiconductor to excel in products, business, and every detail, and has now set it on a path of high-quality development, solidifying the foundation for its public listing. Song Shiqiang on Strategy III: "The Counter-Attack and Breakthrough of Domestic Brands" Slkor’s article featured as the headline in Hc360.com’s "Chip News Top Stories" column As a thought leader in the electronics information industry, Mr. Song Shiqiang has attracted widespread attention. Slkor’s press release "See You Next Year | Slkor’s Highlights at 2026 electronica Shanghai" was featured as the lead story in Hc360.com’s "Chip News Top Stories" column. Excerpts from Hc360’s written interview with Slkor’s Song Shiqiang were included in the article "AI Computing Power 'Consumes' Capacity, Power Devices Tight Across the Board". In light of the market situation where "AI data center deployments are driving strong demand for power switches and ICs, leading to shortages," Mr. Song’s core views, corporate strategy, and trend assessments are as follows: Slkor founder Mr. Song Shiqiang Core View: For MOSFETs and IGBTs, due to capacity squeezes at foundries and OSATs from other higher-margin products, lead times have lengthened this year, with occasional shortages. Corporate Strategy: Domestic power devices are evolving from initial "device replacement" to comprehensive "solution competition." This year, the adoption of Slkor’s SiC MOSFETs and other products at the customer end has accelerated, driven by growing recognition of the domestic "Slkor" brand. However, due to intense competition among peers, significant volume growth has not yet materialized. Trend Assessment: In domestic power device production, domestic brands are gradually squeezing out import brands – particularly evident in low-end products, with signs of loosening in high-end products as well. This assessment provides a positive signal for the trend that "the upward cycle will continue at least through 2027," confirming the explosive momentum of domestic substitution acceleration. The industry rule of "disruptive innovation" applies here as well. About Mr. Song Shiqiang Mr. Song Shiqiang at booth W5.317, 2026 electronica Shanghai Mr. Song Shiqiang (Huaqiangbei Song Shiqiang) is the founder and General Manager of Kinghelm Electronics and Slkor Semiconductor, a member of the Expert Database of the China Association for Science and Technology, a lecturer for the Expert Group of the Chinese Institute of Electronics, a researcher on Huaqiangbei commercial practices, and a popular science columnist.

The Passion of Tsinghua University: Overcoming Challenges in Material Science – An Interview with Cen Jianjun of CEN Ningbo Jinshan New Materials Company
2026-07-14 148
Mr.Cen Jianjun, General Manager of CEN Ningbo Jinshan New Materials Co., Ltd. Jinshan means completing today's tasks today—a homophone for "golden mountain" or "silver mountain" —and it requires overcoming challenges like climbing a mountain. The development of the polyimide industry remains a long and arduous journey. In this issue of King Helm (www.kinghelm.com.cn), our reporting team visited Ningbo Jinshan New Materials Co., Ltd. (china-polyimide.com), a national key enterprise recognized as a "Little Giant" in specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative industries, and conducted an exclusive interview with its founder, chairman, and general manager, Mr.Cen Jianjun. He vividly embodied the Tsinghua spirit of serving the nation through scientific research, having dedicated 29 years to advancing China's polyimide industry. He has mastered the core technology for producing high-performance polyimide films, developed various differentiated polyimide film products, and implemented the strategic vision of "playing a supporting role by developing unique polyimide products that domestic competitors cannot produce, thereby addressing customer pain points." Cen Jianjun emphasized that achieving high-quality development of China's economy necessitates first resolving the bottleneck in high-end materials within the industrial sector. Polyimide (PI) is one of the best organic polymer materials in terms of comprehensive performance, hailed as the "golden film" and "golden plastic." It boasts advantages such as resistance to extreme temperatures, high insulation, strength, radiation resistance, self-extinguishing flame retardancy, halogen-free environmental friendliness, excellent mechanical properties, and ease of recycling, making it a core material for strategic emerging industries including AI computing power, advanced semiconductor packaging, aerospace, gas separation, flexible displays, and new energy vehicles. The polyimide (PI) industry is a quintessential capital-and technology-intensive sector characterized by high technological barriers, substantial investment requirements, and significant added value. The global market exhibits an oligopolistic structure dominated by premium products and profits. Mr.Cen Jianjun stated: "Foreign companies have imposed significant technological constraints on polyimide development in many aspects, while China has long faced challenges of 'excess low-end production and reliance on imported high-end products.' CEN Jinshan is committed to advancing into the high-end product segment, continuously innovating and launching differentiated PI products to overcome the technological bottlenecks in high-end polyimide film materials, break foreign monopolies, and address the shortcomings within the domestic industry." I.Cen and Tsinghua University Tsinghua Garden, Image source: Mr.Zhao Ming, Chairman of Tsinghua Fei'en Steven Cen, whose English name "Steven" derives from Latin and Greek meanings of "crown" or "flower crown," graduated with a bachelor's degree from Tsinghua University in 1992. He recalled: "Born in 1969, I was admitted to Tsinghua University in 1987 from Yuyao High School in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, enrolling in the Department of Hydraulic and Hydroelectric Engineering, majoring in Hydropower Engineering Architecture. During my five-year undergraduate program, what impressed me most was how outstanding my classmates were. I faced all challenges courageously; although some efforts ended in failure, I refused to be defeated—my inherent refusal to give up and growing resilience after setbacks are gifts that Tsinghua has bestowed upon my life. The aspiration to' integrate personal development into collective endeavors and closely link personal achievements with those of the university and the nation' has shaped the direction of my life." Since its establishment in 1911, Tsinghua University has embodied the spirit of "redressing national humiliation and dedicating itself to the motherland." The "Tsinghua Spirit" —referring to the patriotic sentiment and commitment to serving the country among its members—was deeply rooted in this ethos. After graduating from Tsinghua University in 1992, Cen Jianjun was initially assigned to a water resources and hydropower design institute. Inspired by Deng Xiaoping's Southern Tour speech, he decisively left the government sector to pursue entrepreneurship. Seizing opportunities of the era, he joined one of the most innovative real estate and foreign trade companies of the time, leveraging its wealth-creation potential and contemporary relevance. Starting from a sales position with access to extensive market information, he learned through practical experience, customer insights, and market trends. Later, he independently operated foreign trade businesses and established factories, but faced closure due to inadequate quality control. Cen Jianjun summarized this experience: "Product quality is the lifeline of an enterprise—the foundation for market competitiveness and the guarantee of sustainable development. It determines an organization's fate; without quality, there can be no growth." The academic rigor and keen insight of Tsinghua University alumni once again opened the door to entrepreneurship for Cen Jianjun. He recalled: "When the internet first emerged in 1996, many people doubted its potential. Yet I recognized the immense business opportunities it held. I began using the internet to gather information, connect with clients, and conduct trade. It was under the impetus of 'Internet+' that I delved into materials science in 1997, gradually deepening my expertise through practical trading experiences. In 1998, the call to accelerate the development of private enterprises inspired me, but the experience of factory closures made me more cautious and focused. After thorough preparation, I returned to entrepreneurship in 2001 by establishing my own factory, strictly controlling product quality from then on." For over two decades, Mr.Cen has dedicated himself to the polyimide industry, leading his team to develop high-end polyimide products competitive with international standards. He consistently embodies an innovative spirit of self-improvement, striving to overcome technical bottlenecks—a true reflection of the dedication characteristic of Tsinghua researchers.

The grand scene of 2026 electronica Shanghai Part of the Kinghelm team – Qin Xianghong, Yin Qingqing, Yang Bo, Chen Suwei, Wang Zhenxin, Song Yuanming, Yang Shichen, Peng Huisheng At this exhibition, Mr. Song Shiqiang, General Manager of Kinghelm (www.kinghelm.com.cn) and Slkor, led a carefully prepared team of nearly 20 people, including Chief Engineer Qin Xianghong, to engage with global partners and explore new market opportunities! Kinghelm booth, with generous prizes! Song Shiqiang on the Shanghai Experience Mr. Song Shiqiang at 2026 electronica Shanghai, booth W5.317 Mr. Song Shiqiang first connected with electronica Shanghai in 2024. On July 8-10, 2024, he led the Kinghelm and Slkor teams to observe the show. Song noted that the entire electronics industry is seeking breakthroughs, and downstream companies are paying more attention to the stability and efficiency of semiconductor supply chains. For technology-original manufacturers and own-brand suppliers like Kinghelm and Slkor, technological and product innovation, service upgrades, and supply chain optimization must all adapt to the higher demands of the AI‑driven, fully interconnected era. It was the fruitful observations in 2024 that led to Kinghelm and Slkor’s annual commitment to electronica Shanghai. Kinghelm adheres to the corporate culture of "Integrity, Diligence, Resilience, Detail" and the business ethics of "Fairness, Openness, Cooperation, Win-Win," along with the Eastern wisdom of "Inner Sage, Outer King" advocated by Mr. Song. With nearly 20 years of deep roots in RF technology and connectors, Kinghelm pursues product excellence, cooperates with customers and industry partners, and is committed to building a positive, healthy industrial ecosystem that promotes social harmony – a supportive external environment that has truly helped Kinghelm thrive. Interview 1: Mr. Song Shiqiang with Li Jian of eefocus "Concerning Components, Asking the Four Dimensions" Interview Mr. Song Shiqiang being interviewed by Li Jian of eefocus for "Concerning Components, Asking the Four Dimensions" "Artificial intelligence + high-speed mobile connectivity" will be the dominant social landscape of the future. Kinghelm started with the R&D, production, and sales of "Kinghelm" brand Beidou BDS/GPS antennas, and has long been deeply engaged in RF microwave technology, actively embracing the new era of universal interconnection. Facing both opportunities and challenges as domestic substitution enters its "deep waters," Kinghelm has still achieved over 80% annual growth for four consecutive years (2022–2025), despite the global economic slowdown. The "Kinghelm" and "Slkor" brands are shining brightly on the international stage. Mr. Song Shiqiang (left) during the interview In response, Supplyframe’s Four Dimensions and eefocus’ Li Jian asked Kinghelm and Slkor founder and GM Mr. Song Shiqiang about "How can companies achieve counter‑trend growth and break through in the AI era?" Mr. Song stated that the integration of strategy, tactics, and execution is key to breaking the deadlock. Taking Kinghelm (www.kinghelm.net) and Slkor as examples, from their inception, both companies have benchmarked themselves against world‑class enterprises in terms of strategic decision‑making, resource allocation, internal management, brand value, innovation capability, and internationalization, firmly pursuing a global path. In terms of tactics, Kinghelm and Slkor adopt an approach that 90% of their peers cannot understand – a digital marketing path for domestic original brands, centered on their official websites and supplemented by matrixed layouts across other media and platforms. This approach runs counter to the conventional semiconductor industry logic (which emphasizes capital, technology, and sales network accumulation) and was inevitably an untrodden path. In execution, the standardized and process‑driven management at Kinghelm and Slkor ensures efficiency, high per‑capita productivity, and remarkable results, which have been widely imitated by peers. Specifically, Kinghelm and Slkor apply ecological, matrix, and hierarchical methodologies, dividing business into different segments and departments, and through organic collaboration and management, achieve highly efficient operations and growth. Interview 2: Mr. Song Shiqiang Invited to Join Zhixin Suge's "GESA Chip Shines East" Electronics Industry Live Stream! Mr. Song Shiqiang invited to join Zhixin Suge's "GESA Chip Shines East" electronics industry live stream! The 2025 electronica Shanghai marked the debut of Zhixin Suge's "GESA Chip Shines East" live program. Since then, Zhixin Suge has taken viewers through the exhibition via live camera, sharing insights from exhibitors and industry partners, working together to build big business and strengthen enterprises. Mr. Song Shiqiang has been a guest on Zhixin Suge's live stream for two consecutive years (2025–2026) at electronica Shanghai, discussing the industry's "chip" future with global friends. Zhixin Suge (left) and Mr. Song Shiqiang of Kinghelm Mr. Song noted that industry opportunities always exist – the key is having the ability to seize them. In earlier years, Kinghelm (www.kinghelm.com.cn) and Slkor capitalized on the "domestic substitution" trend in electronic components to grow stronger. Today, 5G communications, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, industrial internet, digital economy, and new energy technologies are flourishing and have become major drivers of future economic growth, integral to the emerging "new quality productive forces." The prosperity of these technologies and industries is precisely where Kinghelm’s opportunities lie. Moreover, Kinghelm’s (www.kinghelm.net) main products are RF microwave antennas, signal connectors, and their assemblies, covering three communication technologies: RF microwave, high‑speed data transmission, and optical communications. These emerging fields demand higher performance in wireless communication, data transmission, and industrial automation, and Kinghelm is actively working to meet these needs and drive industry progress. Encouragingly, [Kinghelm’s future product roadmap] has already released productive capacity. This year (2026), Kinghelm will establish an initial product portfolio, with gradually enriched antenna product lines and optical communication accessories (optical devices) entering production – marking Kinghelm’s official entry into the optical communications sector, a field with high technical barriers where brand building is a continuous process. We will first gauge market demand and launch mainstream optical communication accessories (optical devices), gradually moving from a latecomer to a leading player. Han Junlong, founder and CEO of Dashengtang Electronics, visits for exchange, received by Mr. Song Shiqiang (right) and Vice General Manager Qiu Huilin (left) Mr. Masaki Tozawa, President of Japan’s Corestaff Co., Ltd. (third from left), visits! Mr. Song mentioned that during the exhibition, many customers and partners from around the world visited the Kinghelm/Slkor booth. Thanks to everyone’s strong support, the "Kinghelm" and "Slkor" brands continue to shine on both domestic and international stages. Exhibition Insights – Peng Huisheng’s Reflections Peng Huisheng, Deputy Director of Kinghelm’s Sales Department II, at the exhibition The 2026 electronica Shanghai has come to a successful close. Over the three‑day exhibition, Peng Huisheng was fully engaged in customer reception, technical liaison, market research, and competitor analysis, gaining substantial overall benefits. Peng Huisheng and colleagues receiving customers The visitor flow was of high quality, predominantly from automotive electronics, IoT, industrial control terminals, solution providers, and overseas procurement. We received hundreds of visitors on site and successfully screened dozens of high‑potential leads, building a solid resource pool for future revenue growth. At the same time, many existing customers visited, further reinforcing their trust in our technology‑oriented, product‑based original brand "Kinghelm." Deputy Director Peng Huisheng carefully listening to customer requirements Through this exhibition, I gained a clear grasp of the latest industry trends: the market is shifting toward automotive‑grade, high‑frequency, miniaturized, and high‑stability solutions, while low‑end commodity products face severe commoditization. Manufacturers offering complete RF connectivity solutions are more competitive, confirming our Kinghelm FAKRA, high‑frequency connectors, antenna cable assemblies, and other core product advantages. Kinghelm Company Profile Kinghelm Product Categories This exhibition also revealed our shortcomings in pre‑show invitation, scenario‑based product display, documentation standardization, and promotional material. "Knowing our inadequacies" is a motto I greatly admire. The *Book of Rites* says, "Know your shortcomings, and then you can reflect on yourself." Laozi’s *Tao Te Ching* states, "To know that you do not know is the highest." Thus, shortcomings can become strengths – they will be our breakthrough points for improving customer satisfaction and driving growth. I will promptly follow up with customer tiering, material delivery, sample coordination, and continuous engagement to convert exhibition leads. Meanwhile, I will apply the experience gained to optimize next year’s exhibition preparation, display systems, and lead generation models, continuously enhancing brand exposure and return on exhibition investment. Wisdom Shines – Shanghai Culture Kinghelm – Connecting the World The 2026 electronica Shanghai, through technological displays and intellectual exchanges, outlined the development path for the electronics industry over the next 3‑5 years, becoming an important platform connecting global innovation resources. "Kinghelm – Connecting the World." Under the leadership of General Manager Mr. Song Shiqiang, the Kinghelm (www.kinghelm.net) exhibition team members each fulfilled their duties while collaborating closely, contributing their wisdom and efforts to successfully achieve the 2026 exhibition goals and accumulate practical experience for 2027. Song Yuanming, Director of Kinghelm’s International Department, noted that this year’s show covered 10 halls, with connector industry exhibitors concentrated across 5 halls – a multiple increase compared to the previous maximum of 2 halls – signaling the vibrant vitality and potential of Kinghelm’s connector and interconnection sector.

The enchanting night view of the Huangpu River along the Bund The Bund area in Huangpu District, known as the "Street of International Architecture" At the Bund, with its array of diverse Western architectural styles from the former concession era, Mr. Song joked about being a "seasoned construction contractor by background," emphasizing that his love for old architecture is "in his bones." Revisiting the place brought deep emotions: "From real estate to chip business, from the Shanghai Bund to Huaqiangbei, all have left vivid memories for me! The Hatong Building (later the Old Jiefang Building) that I renovated back then is now Huawei’s global flagship store – the old building is now filled with technological wonder. Every time I visit, I have new reflections, and it elevates my soul!" The Hatong Building on Nanjing Road, renovated by Mr. Song in his early days, now Huawei’s global flagship store Mr. Song said: "Architecture is the crystallization of religion, thought, art, aesthetics, and scientific achievement; it is the tangible symbol of predecessors’ labor and wisdom, a new work co‑created by man and the Creator." The Shanghai Bund’s eclectic architecture, open and diverse in styles, embodies a harmonious coexistence of inclusion and contrast – a collision of tradition and modernity, a fusion of East and West – carrying significant heritage and continuity.

Bold Vision, Brave Action, The Next Wave Rider Could Be You!—Interview with She Weixin, Founder of Jiazheng Xincheng
2026-06-30 251
She Weixin, Founder of Huaxinjia and Jiazheng Xincheng Huaxinjia symbolizes support for the rise of Chinese chips. Jiazheng Xincheng, born from Huaxinjia, insists on authentic, original products and aims to help everyone achieve a better life through this internet platform. In this issue, Kinghelm (www.kinghelm.net) interviews She Weixin, founder of Shenzhen Huaxinjia Technology Co., Ltd. and Jiazheng Xincheng. This post-2000s entrepreneur from Chaoshan entered Huaqiangbei in 2019 and dove into the chip and sensor distribution business. With an entrepreneurial spirit of bold vision and brave action, he has done every task well and delivered every chip with excellence. Today, he has paved his own entrepreneurial path, gained inner freedom, and is committed to the cause of Chinese chip independence. Mr. Song Shiqiang emphasized that Kinghelm, Slkor (www.slkoric.com), Huaxinjia(https://hxjkj.ic.net.cn/), and Jiazheng Xincheng are all "Chinese Chip" enterprises that seized the opportunity of domestic substitution. They are developing increasingly well and actively embracing the era of the Internet of Everything. As a first-tier authorized distributor of Slkor, Huaxinjia’s founder She Weixin is a young man full of drive, ambition, and mission. Under his leadership and pioneering efforts, the "dual-wheel drive" of the Huaxinjia and Jiazheng Xincheng brands is bound to accelerate development and create a brilliant new future. Huaxinjia is a first-tier authorized distributor of Slkor She Weixin was born in 2001. At 18, he ventured alone into Huaqiangbei; at 21, he started his business from scratch. Known in the industry as "Manager She," he has walked a path that many dare not take. When asked how he did it, he replied: "Before starting my business, I worked in the Huaqiangbei electronics market for three years. I handled deliveries, procurement, and sales, mastering every part of the workflow. ‘Think it and do it, dare to pioneer’ — this is my life principle. In 2022, I wanted to achieve something and make money. With encouragement from clients who trusted me, I started my own business with only a little over 20,000 yuan in startup capital. There is no perfect plan in life. Overthinking creates only problems; taking action brings all the answers. Huaxinjia has now been operating for five years. It wasn’t that I saw hope and then persisted — it was through persistence that I saw hope." The view from Huaxinjia’s office on the 55th floor of Seg Plaza in Huaqiangbei — truly beautiful "Shenzhen" scenery! A love for nature has always been part of She Weixin’s pursuit. Growing up in Shenzhen amid bustling traffic and towering neon lights, he enjoys keeping native stream fish. "In my Huaxinjia office, I keep two kinds of fish. By the door is a black-tail upside-down catfish, and by the window is a ‘One-Eye Taoist.’ Both are hardy native fish I collected from wild streams. They are resilient and full of vitality. Watching them swim freely every day feels like returning to nature," he said. He also loves outdoor badminton, cycling, and travel. "Doing things well, staying healthy, and living peacefully and happily — these are my requirements for myself. Realizing financial freedom early and touring the beautiful rivers and mountains of our motherland have always been my dreams." Huaxinjia’s native ecology fish — Denison barb Huaxinjia + Jiazheng Xincheng: Fueling the Rise of Chinese Chips! The tea room at Huaxinjia with its excellent window view! Shenzhen Huaxinjia Technology Co., Ltd. (Huaxinjia) was founded in 2021. Its founder and general manager is She Weixin, and its headquarters is located in Room 5505A on the 55th floor of Seg Plaza. Adhering to the business philosophy of "Do every task well and deliver every chip with excellence," Huaxinjia focuses deeply on the semiconductor industry, insists on authentic original products, and specializes in the distribution of chips, sensors, electronic components, and other hardware. Its represented brands include TI (Texas Instruments), ST (STMicroelectronics), NXP, Honeywell, GigaDevice, ROHM, Slkor, Allegro, Skyworks, ADI, Kinghelm, and many others. Founder She Weixin added, "Huaxinjia is a combination of my parents’ names and the character ‘Xin’ (chip). It carries my sense of responsibility and dedication to my family. I have always believed that doing something you love is far more romantic than just saying loving words." 2022 was his first year of entrepreneurship, coinciding with a significant reduction in chip imports and the inevitable push for domestic substitution. He emphasized, "Huaxinjia is fueling the rise of Chinese chips. We continue to accumulate experience and grow through it. Most of our customers come through referrals from long-term clients." Jiazheng Xincheng, derived from Huaxinjia, was established in 2025. Its name reflects the commitment to authentic original products and the creation of a chip mall platform to benefit others. Regarding the company’s platform-based operations, She Weixin explained: "We set up two companies because market clients and end customers require separate management. Jiazheng Xincheng focuses on the domestic terminal business. ‘Better quality and better prices are what we take seriously’ (as stated in the signature of the video account ‘Chip-Weixin’). A chip transaction is only the beginning. Huaxinjia, on the other hand, is a trader with price advantages serving market clients." Company Vision: Let everyone achieve a better life through the Huaxinjia platform. Company Values: Create value for customers. Company Goal: Become a qualified chip supplier with a complete supply system. Company Mission: Do every task well and deliver every chip with excellence. Huaxinjia’s sales of represented Slkor products are booming! When discussing core competitiveness, founder She Weixin stated clearly: "Huaxinjia’s core strength lies in its increasingly mature ‘One Core, Three Pillars’ system — integrity, channels, products, and brand. This continuously strengthens our main business and growth momentum. Huaxinjia has become a member of platforms such as IC Trading Network, Alibaba, and Huaqiang Electronics Network, while earning the trust of many customers and support from original manufacturers and agents." He mentioned that from late 2023 to 2024 was a low point in his life. A series of events brought the company to the brink of bankruptcy and left him personally in debt. Thanks to timely customer orders, support from supplier channels, and his own determination to start over, he successfully turned the company around from losses to profits. It is worth noting that the domestically produced Slkor brand products represented by Huaxinjia are selling extremely well, covering many models such as SS8050, SS8550, MMBT5551, MMBT5401, MMBT3904, SS310, 1N4148W, SM4007PL, 1N4148WS, 1N4148WL, FR107, DSK34, LL4148, AMS1117-3.3, AMS1117-5.0, M7, SS54, SS36, SS34, SS14, and more. She Weixin affirmed: "Slkor products sell very well for us." Both Huaxinjia and Jiazheng Xincheng sincerely thank the original manufacturer Slkor for its strong support, as well as General Manager Song Shiqiang for his positive energy and Sales Deputy Director Lin Yuanfang for her excellent service. He hopes that Huaxinjia and Jiazheng Xincheng, like Kinghelm and Slkor under Mr. Song Shiqiang’s leadership, will achieve steady, far-reaching, and brilliant development on the high-speed path of "dual-wheel drive." He also hopes for long-term, successful cooperation among Huaxinjia, Jiazheng Xincheng, Kinghelm, and Slkor, working together to strengthen brand synergy and achieve win-win growth. She Weixin of Huaxinjia (first from left) was invited to attend the 2025 Slkor Distributor Conference A wise youth makes a wise nation; a wealthy youth makes a wealthy nation; a strong youth makes a strong nation. Huaxinjia and Jiazheng Xincheng’s founder She Weixin is young and accomplished, deeply rooted in the chip industry. Facing national "strong chip" policies, the "Guangdong Strong Chip" initiative, and the flourishing "Chinese Chip" enterprises across the country, he praised them: "These are all good things. Technology needs development, and humanity needs progress." In the face of accelerating changes in China’s chip sector, Huaxinjia embraces new challenges, solves difficulties when they arise, and remains humble when achieving success, letting everything else follow its natural course. When asked about methods for cultivating a good mindset and positive image, She Weixin sincerely shared the following: He believes that one’s appearance reflects the heart, so it is important to remain kind and maintain a positive and upward attitude. Live your own life, do your own things, and immerse yourself in your own world — happiness in life is the ultimate goal. He also advises spending more time communicating with positive, high-energy people. For example, Mr. Song Shiqiang of Kinghelm and Slkor is straightforward, sincere, full of positive energy, and always willing to share and help others. In addition, one should learn through work and practice on real tasks. Treat yourself as a salesperson and focus on doing solid, practical work. He has a workbench at home: during the day he handles important matters at the company, and in the evenings he returns home to deal with琐碎 details. He lives by the idea of fate and connection — when you meet someone, there is affinity, and one should offer help whenever possible. He regularly makes anonymous donations to impoverished mountainous areas, proactively helps people around him who fall ill, and donates to children he encounters in mountainous regions during travels. Finally, even in difficult times, one should uphold justice and morality rather than harm others to benefit oneself. Huaxinjia’s team is very young, with an average employee age of 24. When recruiting, character comes first. Here, Kinghelm (www.kinghelm.net) and Slkor General Manager Mr. Song Shiqiang, who also developed in Huaqiangbei, sincerely wish their distributor Huaxinjia (https://hxjkj.ic.net.cn/) and Jiazheng Xincheng ever greater success, and together contribute to the companies’ future listings!
