On May 16, 2026, Song Yuanming, International Director of Kinghelm/Slkor, was invited to speak at the Huaqiang Lecture. Centering on the theme "The Path to Global Branding for Domestic Brands," he shared practical experience in globalizing Chinese semiconductor brands with fellow professionals in the electronic components industry. Drawing on Kinghelm and Slkor's recent explorations and achievements in overseas markets, he systematically deconstructed how domestic brands can break through from "being seen" to "being chosen," from building a digital marketing matrix to listing on international platforms. Song Yuanming, International Director of Kinghelm/Slkor Global Strategy: From "Passive Involution" to "Proactive Breakthrough" During his speech, Song Yuanming pointed out that the domestic electronic components market is facing intensified homogeneous competition, with price wars continuously squeezing profit margins, making going global an imperative choice. At the same time, the evaluation criteria of overseas customers are also changing: technical capability, delivery stability, and brand credibility are gaining more importance. Engineers and procurement personnel increasingly prefer to find suppliers through Google, Bing search, and industry platforms. "Whoever is seen first and appears more professional gets more inquiries and orders." Based on this insight, Kinghelm and Slkor have systematically built an overseas digital marketing matrix in recent years, gradually developing a global path of "search → inquiry → sampling → repeat purchase." Song Yuanming sharing SEO and GEO optimization Four Core Levers to Build an Overseas Marketing Closed Loop Song Yuanming summarized overseas marketing into four core stages, forming a complete closed loop from traffic to orders. Kinghelm and Slkor's Four-Step Overseas Marketing Approach Independent Website Construction. Kinghelm and Slkor have completed the setup of their English independent websites, covering key modules such as brand positioning, certifications, product parameters, Datasheet downloads, inquiry portals, and sample requests. Song emphasized: "The official website is not just an e-business card, but a business front desk that continuously receives traffic, retains customers, and drives inquiry conversion." SEO and GEO Optimization. Song Yuanming showed live Google indexing data: to date, the Kinghelm brand keyword has 521,000 indexed entries, while the Slkor brand keyword has as many as 15,000,000 indexed entries. "SEO helps customers find us on search engines; GEO helps customers see us in large model answers – this is the next key strategic high ground for our brand's customer acquisition." Press Release & Content Marketing. Kinghelm and Slkor continuously produce high-quality content on industry media, tech blogs, LinkedIn, and other platforms, achieving both enhanced brand credibility and SEO backlink building. Currently, a full matrix on TikTok, YouTube, Douyin, Weibo, Xiaohongshu, and LinkedIn has been completed. Slkor has 24,500 followers on TikTok, 150,000 likes and 45,000 followers on Douyin, demonstrating the phased success of their promotional matrix. Listing on International Platforms. Being listed on platforms like DigiKey, Mouser, Element14, Supplyframe, and Corestaff is the "entry ticket" for domestic brands to enter the global supply chain. Citing DigiKey backend data, Song showed that Slkor's diodes, transistors, sensors, power management ICs, optocouplers, and other categories have seen continuously rising order volumes from July 2024 to April 2026, exceeding 1,700 orders in April 2026. Slkor's order volume trend on the DigiKey platform This approach has been validated in the practice of Kinghelm and Slkor. Song Yuanming concluded: "The internet-based globalization of domestic electronic component brands is not just about promotion. It is centered on the independent website, uses SEO, GEO, and content as growth engines, relies on a promotional matrix for traffic entry and trust endorsement, and uses platform listings as order amplifiers." In his view, platforms bring exposure, the website carries the brand, and content builds trust – only when these three work together can long-term repeat purchases be formed. Song Yuanming showing Google indexing volumes for Kinghelm and Slkor The achievements of the Kinghelm and Slkor brands in going global are inseparable from the "daring to venture, innovative, tenacious, and pragmatic" Huaqiangbei culture advocated by Mr. Song Shiqiang. This sharing event provided a stage for Kinghelm and Slkor to showcase their overseas practical achievements, convey brand value, and exchange ideas with peers. In his concluding remarks, Song Yuanming invited more peers to join the development of Kinghelm and Slkor, working together for the internationalization of domestic brands!

Upon reaching the Maluan Mountain Waterfall, a cool mist sprayed towards them, and everyone paused to take photos in front of the cascading water. Li Jianhui, Warehouse Supervisor at Kinghelm, at the Maluan Mountain Waterfall The group making their way through the forest Passing by the site of the 1911 Revolution's First Uprising, they lined up neatly in front of the Luo Ancestral Hall and took a lively, cherished group photo. At noon, they took a break at Meiting Pavilion, sitting on the ground and sharing the food they had brought with each other, enjoying the simple pleasure of the mountain breeze. They then slowly made their way past Erdie Waterfall and finally arrived at the Pond Cypress Forest (the northwest entrance of Maluan Mountain). The journey was filled with scenic mountains and streams, accompanied by a gentle breeze, bringing joy to both adults and children. Kinghelm and Slkor colleagues sharing snacks with each other Everyone resting and chatting halfway up the mountain It's raining! Enjoying snacks in the overcast weather At 4 PM, the group arrived at a farmhouse near the foot of the mountain for a group meal. After a day of hiking, the steaming home-cooked dishes were a delight, with fresh steamed fish and just-picked seasonal vegetables. Everyone sat around, chatting happily and sharing the day's interesting stories. The farmhouse also had a small petting zoo with adorable rabbits, gentle deer, ostriches, donkeys, peacocks, and other animals. The children fed the deer and rabbits with grass, and the eager animals crowded around, creating a warm and joyful scene. Kinghelm / Slkor team building meal The children thoroughly enjoyed feeding the animals At Kinghelm and Slkor, corporate culture isn't just slogans on the wall; it's woven into the details of daily life. General Manager Mr. Song Shiqiang often says, "Let employees eat well, rest well, and have enough to spend, so they can work well."

Kinghelm Electronics Company Development Milestones Slkor Semiconductor Company Development Milestones Kinghelm and Slkor’s Song Shiqiang are the first to systematically define and promote the 'Huaqiangbei Culture.' He is the first scholar to elevate the entrepreneurial model of Huaqiangbei’s spontaneous market into a theoretical framework. Song Shiqiang distilled the core values of 'daring, innovation, resilience, and pragmatism' into the essence of Huaqiangbei Culture and summarized the industrial upgrade path of 'imitation – improvement – innovation.' He proposed that 'a one-meter counter is an innovation unit,' representing a microcosm of entrepreneurial spirit. Small businesses are the vital capillaries of societal development, unlocking unprecedented value recognition and energizing Huaqiangbei’s innovative ecosystem. Song also identified the survival and development principles of Huaqiangbei as 'light assets, fast iteration, high conversion, and information-driven.' He innovatively introduced the concept of Huaqiangbei as the 'supply chain reservoir' for the electronics industry, explaining how it regulates production inventory, efficiently matches supply and demand, and buffers industrial ecosystem risks. This theory has become one of the foundational theoretical frameworks for understanding the rapid development of China’s post-reform electronics industry ecosystem. Kinghelm, founded by Song Shiqiang, specializes in the Beidou GPS navigation antenna field, contributing to the development of domestic navigation and positioning systems. Slkor, focused on silicon carbide power devices, has rapidly risen in sectors like new energy vehicles and photovoltaics. Mr. Song Shiqiang was appointed as a 'Huaqiangbei Entrepreneurial Mentor' by the Futian District of Shenzhen. Kinghelm and Slkor have served over 30,000 customers worldwide, becoming standout representatives of Chinese intelligent manufacturing on the global stage.

Shenzhen Slkor Micro Semiconductor Co., Ltd., with its technical backbone comprised of talents from Tsinghua University and Yonsei University in South Korea, leads the company's development with new materials, new processes, and new products.

The Slkor editorial team met Li Gang at Room 501, West Tower, Tian’an Innovation and Technology Plaza, Chegongmiao, Futian District, Shenzhen. As co-founder of Chengdu Songyuan Technology Co., Ltd. and general manager of Yunfan Ruida Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., he chatted with the Slkor team for over an hour, with topics ranging from millimeter-wave radar technology to the silver economy served by their products. Li Gang, General Manager of Yunfan Ruida and Co-founder of Songyuan Technology "Before starting my business, I spent seven or eight years in product R&D and even served as head of the development department, working with microcontrollers every day," said Li Gang. In 2011, at the age of 35, he moved south to Shenzhen to start his entrepreneurial journey. He began by providing solutions for domestic MCU manufacturer GigaDevice (GD), and later rode the wave of explosive growth in the IoT industry. In 2018, through an opportunity with his college classmate, he ventured into the field of millimeter-wave radar. The two integrated radar technology into IoT products and discovered that the smart home market had far greater potential than the automotive market. They decided to focus on millimeter-wave radar and expand into the smart home sector, founding Songyuan Technology (2018) and Yunfan Ruida (2019) – with Yunfan Ruida being a subsidiary of Chengdu Songyuan Technology. Yunfan Ruida Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. – Front Office Currently, Li Gang is based in Shenzhen, focusing on marketing and product application development, while his two other co-founders delve into basic technologies in Chengdu. "You at Slkor make MOSFETs and power devices; we do millimeter-wave radar – essentially, we are both B2B technology service enterprises," Li Gang explained. Songyuan Technology does not make chips nor consumer-facing end products; the company positions itself as a solution service provider. In his view, that is precisely its core competitiveness: "Chip products are highly standardized and cannot offer much customization, whereas our technical support and product customization capabilities are our strengths." Songyuan Technology and Yunfan Ruida focus on three major functions: smart home sensing, smart appliance empowerment, and smart health & elderly care, helping clients achieve innovative applications in scenarios such as smart homes, smart sleep, smart health care, smart hotels, and smart offices. The core team has a solid background – CTO Dr. Du has over 20 years of experience in radar systems and signal processing, having led radar customization projects for major manufacturers like Midea, Gree, Hisense, and TCL. PhDs and master’s degree holders account for 30% of the team, with most core members graduating from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. "We focus on the home appliance market," Li Gang said. "Home appliances have large production volumes and high quality requirements, making them a major profit source for us." Songyuan Technology is a top-tier partner of Infineon and has developed multiple millimeter-wave radar modules based on Infineon’s radar chips. In the air-conditioning sector, Songyuan’s sleep analysis technology has achieved industry-leading performance, with an error rate within 5 minutes and an accuracy rate exceeding 90%. The radar can detect when a user gets into bed, turns over, or makes slight movements, and then automatically adjust the temperature and humidity via the air conditioner. This solution has already been deployed in mass production for high-end models for clients in China, Japan, and South Korea. Radar modules are also widely used in televisions, toilets, bath heaters, fans, central control panels, projectors, washing machines, and more. Application scenarios for Songyuan Technology’s radar modules Lighting is another major advantage area for Songyuan Technology. Li Gang mentioned, "The lighting industry is a much broader market." Through precise human presence detection, radar modules enable energy-saving management in commercial lighting, residential lighting, and smart streetlights – "light on when people come, light off when they leave." As a director of the Shanghai Pudong Smart Lighting Union, he has his own insights into lighting scenarios: "The customer base in the lighting industry is very wide, covering homes, hotels, shopping malls, and various other settings. Currently, we are promoting smart home applications such as fall-detection lights in bathrooms and sleep-analysis-linked lights – this is one of Songyuan’s future directions." In Li Gang’s product definition, "silver guardian" is a market direction that holds great promise, yet he clearly recognizes its uniqueness. "Compared with home appliances, the health industry is too fragmented," he admitted. "For example, in Shenzhen, Longhua District has its own elderly-care system, and Futian District has its own – each with different channels." Nevertheless, he has invested significant effort in this area. Yunfan Ruida’s recently launched "Silver Guardian 2027 New Trends" solution revolves around bedroom care, bathroom fall detection, sleep monitoring, and other scenarios. Its core advantage is "unobtrusiveness" – no wearable devices required, no privacy invasion, yet it can accurately sense human presence, breathing micro-movements, and posture changes. "The most important thing in home-based health care is to make the elderly feel comfortable and safe, without causing any inconvenience. For example, when they get up to the bathroom at night, the light turns on automatically; when they fall asleep, the light turns off automatically." In bathroom scenarios, the fall-alert radar can cover an area of 5–7 square meters. "For bedridden elderly, the fall reporting rate must be 100% – no misses. But for more active seniors, a low false-alarm rate is more important. Different scenarios call for different settings – that’s our product logic." Li Gang during the interview From R&D engineer to product manager to business leader, Li Gang has always maintained a strong dedication to products. "I am essentially the group’s product manager – what the company sells is ultimately decided by me." This "deep involvement" means he knows every product detail inside out – from the automatic temperature adjustment logic of the air-conditioning sleep radar, to the sensitivity settings of fall detection, to the threshold definitions for abnormal respiration detection – all of which he repeatedly discusses with the R&D team. "Running a business is like driving a car – you can only see 50 meters ahead. No one knows where the cliff or the pothole is. So our most critical ability is our strong adaptability." Li Gang sharing the company’s millimeter-wave radar solutions As the interview drew to a close, Li Gang was asked about his expectations ten years from now. After a moment’s thought, he said: "When you start a business, at first you might just master a technology, then you become a businessman. As you go on, it turns into an ideal, or a responsibility. Now, my confidence in making great products is greater than my desire for an IPO or acquisition. I hope my product definitions will influence the industry in the future – what they will bring to the elderly – and lead the industry forward." "Is that the sentiment of a technologist?" asked the Slkor reporter. "I guess so," Li Gang said with a smile. "Actually, running a business is like gambling – there’s a thrill. But as you keep going, it becomes about simply wanting to do things well."

Kinghelm Chief Engineer Mr. Qin hongxiang Kinghelm Chief Engineer Mr. Qin hongxiang emphasized: "Kinghelm’s flagship products are RF microwave antennas, signal connectors, and related components. The company is also involved in three major communication technologies: RF microwave, high-speed data transmission, and optical communication. Our product strategy follows the development trends of the times and national planning. For example, satellite communication and optical communication components (optical devices) are markets with enormous demand. China is simultaneously advancing three major mega-constellation satellite programs — the GW constellation with 13,000 satellites, the ‘Qianfan’ constellation with 15,000 satellites, and the ‘Honghu-3’ constellation with 10,000 satellites, with a total scale exceeding 40,000 satellites. This will unlock trillions of yuan in market demand." Notably, in August 2025, the Guiding Opinions on Optimizing Business Access to Promote the Development of the Satellite Communication Industry was released, setting a target of over 10 million satellite communication users and large-scale direct-to-cell satellite applications by 2030. In June 2026, the Implementation Opinions on the Innovative Development of "Artificial Intelligence + Information and Communication" (2026–2028) was issued, designating satellite internet as a core breakthrough track for the next three years. It explicitly calls for deep integration of satellite communication, 5G/6G, artificial intelligence, and other next-generation information and communication technologies. Satellite communication, as the "space version" of microwave communication, represents one of the largest application scenarios for RF microwave technology. 6G, the sixth-generation mobile communication technology, aims for an ultimate "space-air-ground integrated" form — where satellite communication solves coverage, optical communication solves capacity, and AI handles scheduling. Artificial intelligence (AI) is driving the construction of high-speed optical communication networks and bringing disruptive changes to every industry. "AI + High-Speed Mobile Connectivity" is set to become the mainstream landscape of future society. Kinghelm started by developing and producing "Kinghelm" brand Beidou (BDS)/GPS antennas and has long focused on RF microwave technology. These strengths position the company well to seize new opportunities. Ⅰ. Learning Comes First Mr. Qin during an exclusive interview with the Kinghelm reporter team In this issue, the Kinghelm reporter team interviewed Chief Engineer Mr. Qin. Born in the 1970s in Chengdu, Sichuan, he graduated from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) in Chengdu. Describing the renowned vibrant atmosphere of Chengdu and the Sichuan-Chongqing region, he said: "The cultural character of Chengdu and the broader Sichuan-Chongqing area is one of comfort, ease, and unhurriedness. People here strike an excellent balance between work and life. They devote themselves fully during the five workdays with high intensity and pressure, but after intense work, they need relaxation and rejuvenation. Chengdu’s living environment is excellent — people enjoy nightlife on weekdays and engage in outdoor activities, vacations, farm stays, card games, fishing, cycling, hiking, rural leisure trips, and parent-child activities on weekends. These are all normal ways to relieve stress." Only by loving life can one truly love learning. Mr. Qin stressed that among all things, learning ranks first. He graduated in 1992 from the prestigious 985 university UESTC and shared: "My father was also a graduate of a 985 university. From a young age, I saw how knowledge can change destiny. My parents always taught that knowledge is the core and foundation of all things." Indeed, without a solid knowledge base, one cannot see the true nature of things, analyze problems correctly, reach sound conclusions, or solve issues effectively. Mr. Qin deeply understands that in the face of a complex society, knowledge gives me inner conviction and confidence. Regarding learning first, he recalled a major life decision during his school years: whether to enter high school and pursue university or attend technical secondary school and start working early. His father had a long heart-to-heart talk with him. He chose decisively to enter high school and aim for university because he wanted to accumulate sufficient knowledge and continuously improve himself to better face the future. Work is the best form of learning. Mr. Qin has been deeply engaged in the RF microwave field for over 30 years, constantly advancing through learning, thinking, practice, and reflection. His career can be divided into three stages. From 1992 to 1999, his experience in a state-owned enterprise laid a solid technical foundation in microwave and RF. "My university major was radio technology. After graduation, I was assigned to Chengdu No. 630 Factory, where I worked on the R&D of receiver systems and TV transmitter systems." From 2000 to 2006, he specialized in microwave equipment for mobile communications. "In 1999, during the wave of state-owned enterprise layoffs, I moved to Shenzhen and joined Germany’s Kathrein Telecom, working on microwave equipment for mobile communications and leading the engineering technical team. Later, I went to Suzhou and joined Andrew Telecom, continuing to deepen my expertise in microwave equipment for mobile communications." From 2007 to the present, he returned to the Pearl River Delta to contribute his technology and experience. "Years of cutting-edge technical research gave me sharp insight. I recognized early on the extraordinary vitality and competitiveness of the Pearl River Delta. It is a hotbed of entrepreneurship and innovation. So I made a life decision to return. I successively joined listed companies such as Foxconn, Luxshare, and Comba, gaining practical experience in managing R&D systems, building RF antenna technology platforms, and establishing antenna business units. In August 2025, seeing the strong momentum of Kinghelm and SLKOR, along with the vision and ambition of founder Mr. Song Shiqiang, I chose to join Kinghelm Electronics as Chief Engineer and embarked on a new journey of work and learning."

We must not rest on past achievements, become complacent, or allow our thinking to become rigid and closed. We must continuously drive technological innovation and product iteration." Ⅲ. Striving Upward, Embracing the Sun Chief Engineer Mr. Qin’s bright and airy office A good environment nurtures and transforms people, giving them strength and motivation. Chief Engineer Mr. Qin is proficient in English and Japanese. He said: "English and Japanese were my first and second hobbies in university. Working at the German company Kathrein gave me a natural English-speaking environment, while I learned Japanese purely out of interest. In my view, there are two keys to mastering a language: first, the right environment and atmosphere; second, passion as the driving force." He also loves experiencing nature and drawing energy from the heavens and earth. "I work out year-round and am passionate about outdoor cycling. I have a full set of professional mountain bike equipment. I often ride alone dozens of kilometers in forest parks, or cycle from Shenzhen to Zhuhai or Guangzhou and back — over 200 kilometers in a single day. I enjoy the process of cycling and love clearing my mind in nature." Lush plants in Chief Engineer Mr. Qin’s office nourish the spirit General Manager Mr. Song Shiqiang emphasized that since joining Kinghelm, Chief Engineer Mr. Qin has taken on responsibility and delivered results in technical support, headquarters staff training, future product planning, and supply chain management. He has helped elevate the team’s technical capabilities, advanced the company’s knowledge engineering, increased the knowledge density of both Kinghelm and SLKOR, and even promoted knowledge co-creation and sharing across the industry. When asked why he firmly chose to join Kinghelm, Mr. Qin replied candidly: "First, General Manager Song Shiqiang’s sincerity. During the interview, he shared the company’s plans, management methods, and philosophy, which aligned closely with my own thinking. He views the relationship between the company and employees not as a simple employment relationship but as one of mutual benefit, win-win cooperation, and joint pursuit of a better future. Second, employees feel respected and gain a sense of achievement. Mr. Song affirms that every employee who contributes sweat has the opportunity to share in the company’s future success. Third, the company’s care for employees. Kinghelm practices genuine humanistic care. When employees face difficulties, Mr. Song provides timely help and support — real assistance when it’s needed most." Kinghelm and SLKOR headquarters all-hands meeting, presided over by General Manager Song Shiqiang (first from right) Mr. Qin generously shared his over 30 years of work experience. In technology, one must be down-to-earth because technical accumulation is built step by step with no shortcuts. Product technical R&D must be done personally to gain first-hand experience. One must maintain an open mind and be good at accepting others’ opinions, as the biggest taboo in technology is rigid thinking and rejecting different views. Sharing and researching technology is a very joyful thing. The most important thing is to stay true to your heart, do the present well, and keep an eye on the world by following the latest technologies and societal trends to keep pace with the times. Maintain a positive mindset, do not impose your own knowledge and abilities on others, acknowledge your shortcomings, and have the courage to address them and strive to catch up and surpass. At the end of the interview, Chief Engineer Mr. Qin sincerely hoped that under General Manager Song Shiqiang’s leadership, the Kinghelm and SLKOR teams will unite, work together to improve, and drive development. He looks forward to both companies achieving brilliant success with a promising future, and for all employees to create extraordinary lives!

SLKOR Company IntroductionSLKOR product lineup Mr. Song Shiqiang noted that since their founding, Kinghelm and SLKOR have benchmarked themselves against world-class enterprises in strategic decision-making, resource allocation, internal management, brand value, innovation capability, and internationalization. Kinghelm’s technical team comes from Tsinghua University and the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, bringing rich technical backgrounds and experience. The company has focused on microwave RF technology for many years, collaborated with universities to establish research institutions, and continuously promoted technological innovation and product upgrades. Kinghelm always balances technology, cost, management, efficiency, and sustainable development, striving to deliver high-performance, highly reliable products and services. SLKOR Semiconductor has consistently researched new materials and processes, launching new products to drive continuous development. The two companies are advancing steadily and rapidly on a "dual-wheel drive" path of internationalization. The "Kinghelm" and "SLKOR" brands are steadily growing into globally recognized names. SLKOR SL-W-TRS-5.5D1 Infrared Temperature Measurement One-Stop Solution Recently, SLKOR proudly launched the SL-W-TRS-5.5D1 temperature sensor application solution. The SL-W-TRS-5.5D1 features high infrared response rate, high repeatability, and high reliability. It uses a TO-39 metal package containing a MEMS thermopile sensor chip and a professional signal conditioning ASIC chip. The ASIC integrates a 24-bit Sigma-Delta high-precision ADC, low-noise instrumentation amplifier PGA, and interface circuitry, along with a built-in high-precision thermistor for ambient temperature compensation. To help hardware engineers better utilize SLKOR products, Engineer Xiong from SLKOR recommended a solution for milk shakers (baby formula mixers). Precise temperature control of milk is crucial for protecting infant health. SLKOR’s infrared temperature sensor brings new intelligent solutions through non-contact measurement, high-precision temperature sensing, real-time feedback, and smart temperature control with energy savings. This technology improves the convenience and safety of milk shakers while reducing energy consumption through energy-efficient design, offering modern families a smarter and more efficient parenting experience. A particularly thoughtful feature is the non-contact measurement technology, which eliminates cross-contamination risks and cleaning difficulties associated with traditional contact sensors. Parents no longer need to worry about sensor cleaning or measurement errors due to poor contact. This "contactless sensing" approach provides more efficient temperature measurement and purer protection for babies’ health. Next, SLKOR will launch integrated CMOS chips using NFC technology for power and signal transmission, widely applicable to electric toothbrushes, adult products, medical aesthetics devices, and more.
