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."A 10 billion yuan M&A fund for biomedical industry will also be set up.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."
Since the second half of 2024, there have been frequent large-scale acquisitions in the A-share market, and the biomedical industry has accelerated its integration. For example, China Bio-Pharmaceutical intends to acquire about 55% equity of Haooubo by means of "agreement+offer", Qianhong Pharmaceutical plans to invest 390 million yuan for bankruptcy and reorganization of Fiona Fang Pharmaceutical, Pharmacists help to acquire a piece of medicine, Xinnuowei plans to acquire 100 grams of Shiyao, and Sichuan Shuangma announced the cross-border acquisition of Jianyuan Medicine ...Bu Rixin said that only through mergers and acquisitions and accelerating industrial integration can the benign development of the industry be promoted, which is also one of the most effective measures.
Since then, after continuing to Shenzhen and Anhui, Shanghai has also made efforts in mergers and acquisitions.Unlike Shenzhen and Anhui, which made good use of "green channel" policies such as debt financing, mergers and acquisitions, and vigorously developed equity-based M&A funds, this time Shanghai directly gave the scale of M&A 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. "
