To strengthen interaction between companies, deepen supply chain partnerships, and boost team cohesion and competitiveness, on September 5, Slkor Semiconductor’s (www.slkoric.com) "Warriors" basketball team and the Shared Procurement Alliance jointly held a friendship basketball match in Longgang District, Shenzhen. Slkor General Manager Song Shiqiang and Shared Procurement Alliance President Chen Xuepeng attended the event and led their teams. Players from both sides left it all on the court and traded skills. Slkor Warriors Basketball Team vs. Shared Procurement Alliance Team The game began at 4 p.m. As soon as the whistle blew, the atmosphere was electric. On offense, players on both sides were quick and well coordinated, executing fast breaks, drives, and decisive shots with clean, crisp movements. On defense, they stayed focused, jockeyed for position, rotated promptly to help, and battled hard for rebounds. Fast breaks, pick-and-rolls, and give-and-go plays produced plenty of exciting possessions, and both teams settled into their own rhythm. The game was fast-paced throughout, with both sides trading blows and refusing to give an inch. The Shared Procurement Alliance team gradually took control with cohesive teamwork and a steady rhythm on both ends. The Slkor Warriors, led by Chen Suwei, played fearlessly and kept chasing, causing plenty of trouble with several sharp fast breaks and rebounds. They embodied the "wolf-pack team" spirit and fighting determination that Song Shiqiang, general manager of Kinghelm (www.kinghelm.net) and Slkor (www.slkomicro.com), emphasizes in daily work. In the end, the Shared Procurement Alliance won with the higher score. During the match, General Manager Song Shiqiang also took the court, running hard and playing with full commitment. Slkor and Kinghelm have always valued employees’ lives outside work and encourage everyone to exercise more and maintain a healthy work-life balance. The companies regularly organize badminton, basketball, hiking, and other activities. This basketball game also showcased the Slkor team’s drive and focus. Just as in making products and serving customers, everyone stays in their position and does what needs to be done well. Shenzhen Slkor Semiconductor Co., Ltd. traces its technology to Tsinghua University in Beijing and Yonsei University in South Korea, and it has mastered core technologies for silicon carbide power devices. Slkor has grown into a high-tech enterprise integrating design and R&D, manufacturing, and sales and service. Its Slkor brand is widely recognized by industry peers and customers. Slkor is a national high-tech enterprise and has obtained ISO 9000 certification, as well as European RoHS and REACH certifications. Slkor develops and manufactures SiC MOSFETs, high-, medium-, and low-voltage field-effect transistors, silicon controlled rectifiers, bridge rectifiers, Schottky, ESD, and TVS diodes, along with power management ICs, Hall sensors, optocouplers, crystal oscillators, and other products. These products are widely used in new energy vehicles, communications and power equipment, solar photovoltaics, medical care, mobile phones, computers, robotics, smart homes, the Internet of Things, LED lighting, 3C digital products, and other industries. Slkor upholds a corporate culture of integrity, continuous improvement, resilience, and attention to detail, and continues to develop new technologies and launch new products to create value for employees, customers, and society. Slkor (www.slkoric.com) has grown rapidly in recent years. Its third directly operated store in Huaqiangbei opened on August 14, 2026, at Shop N1A001-002, Phase 2, New Asia Electronic Mall. The store was jointly created by Slkor and Su Xinfan, known as "Zhixin Su Ge" ("Chip-Savvy Brother Su"), of Dream Chaser (Shenzhen) Sensor Technology Co., Ltd., and it is the first physical store under their partnership. After the match, the two teams had dinner together near the gym, chatting over the meal in a relaxed atmosphere. A basketball game is both a test of physical stamina and a bridge for emotional connection between a company and its partners. As a member of the Shared Procurement Alliance, Slkor (www.Slkorimicro.com) had previously hosted the alliance twice at its headquarters for training and exchange activities. This friendly match brought the two sides even closer. Chen Xuepeng, president of the Shared Procurement Alliance, said that since its founding in 2007, the alliance has always been committed to connecting procurement professionals with resources free of charge, empowering their ongoing growth, cultivating deep roots in the procurement community, and supporting countless procurement practitioners as they grow. It also consistently takes procurement people to the front lines of factories, where they can see for themselves—through process flows, materials and craftsmanship, and production details—how a product goes from raw material to finished product. "You can only negotiate cost when you understand the process; you can only control quality when you truly know the workflow." That is the empowerment philosophy the alliance upholds. Because it is genuine, practical, and altruistic, the alliance’s events are often oversubscribed. Factory visits planned for 20–25 people often attract more than 40 procurement professionals, which speaks volumes about the industry’s urgent demand for hands-on learning and frontline growth. In the future, Kinghelm and Slkor will continue to hold exchange activities in various forms, maintain close communication with partners, and work together to advance coordinated development across the ecosystem. As Kinghelm and Slkor integrate into the ecosystem, Kinghelm-brand products such as tactile switches, detection switches, slide switches, push-button switches, micro switches, multi-function switches, illuminated switches, DIP switches, toggle switches, earphone jacks, DC jacks, FPC connectors, USB connectors, waterproof USB connectors, sensing switches, limit switches, encoder switches, tactile pushbuttons, Kinghelm-brand Type female sockets, Type-C interfaces, joystick switches, five-key switches, thumbwheel switches, SMD detection switches, vertical detection switches, through-hole detection switches, SMD encoder switches, KH-IPEX-K501-29, KH-6X6X5H-STM, KH-6X6X5H-Z2J, KH-SMA-P-8029, KH-3216-H0209, and other products are selling well in the market. Whether it is teamwork on the court or partnership in business, both come down to trust and rapport—something Slkor has always valued and cherished.

On September 10,2026, the promotional team from Skor appeared on the streets of Huaqiangbei wearing unified company uniforms, distributing custom-made fans free of charge to passing merchants, buyers, and local residents. This event is another offline campaign launched by Skor (www.slkoric.com) in collaboration with its three directly operated stores in Huaqiangbei; it serves as a supporting promotion alongside special pricing offers for four diode models – A7, 1N4148W, FR107, and M7 – with the promotional period running from September 10 to October 10. Sakowei employees appeared on the streets of Huaqiangbei. On the afternoon of the event, SAKO Micro staff set up a booth along a key section of Huaqiangbei Road, extending fans to passing pedestrians despite the scorching heat. In addition to the brand logo, the fans featured information about four different diode models from the "slkor" brand – the A7, M7, 1N4148W, and FR107 – printed on them. Many professionals in the electronics industry, upon receiving the fans, actively inquired about the product models and supply availability. Sako Micro A7, 1N4148W, FR107, M7 – Special Discount! Song Shiqiang, General Manager of SAKO Micro, stated that the distribution of fans was primarily aimed at delivering event information directly to customers.

To strengthen team cohesion and improve cross-departmental collaboration efficiency, Slkor Semiconductor organized all employees to Shenzhen Tiger Gully Ecological Park on July 25, 2026, for a one-day outdoor team-building and expansion event. Though the weather shifted abruptly from clear skies to heavy rain, activities such as field competitions, off-road racing, and group outdoor cooking proceeded in turn. Everyone released stress through collaboration and drew closer through friendly rivalries. Slkor Team 2026 Summer Team Building Upon arrival at Tiger Gully Ecological Park at 10 a.m., the expansion coach first led everyone through icebreaker warm-ups, which quickly dissolved departmental and hierarchical boundaries and livened up the atmosphere. The entire group was then divided into five teams for the team-formation session—creating team names, slogans, and signature moves. In just fifteen minutes, distinctive team names and catchy slogans emerged one after another. Eventually, "Space Warriors," "Hornets," "Slkor Right-Right-Right," "Core-Moving Future," and "Eagles" took turns presenting, with creative moves and poses drawing rounds of applause and laughter. The adorably posed – Chip Driven Future Team The "strongest" – Space Warriors "Slkor Right-Right-Right" Team Eagles spreading wings – Eagles Team Spirited – Hornets Team After the team presentations, the competitive segment officially began. The first challenge was the tower-building game, where each team used ropes to collaboratively lift and stack building blocks into a tall tower. This tested not only hand-eye coordination but also overall cooperation and patience—some members directed, others observed angles, and any slight misstep in rhythm could cause the tower to collapse. In the end, all teams completed the task, drawing cheers from the crowd. Teams working together to build the tower Carefully untangling the ropes Attempting the stacking process Colleagues patiently stacking blocks one by one Next came the tug-of-war, with five teams competing in pairs. At the whistle, cheers erupted from the sidelines. Everyone gripped the rope tightly, leaned back, and some even fell onto the grass but refused to let go, gritting their teeth and persevering. Following that was the caterpillar race, where each team sent several members to straddle inflatable caterpillars and race in sync toward the finish line, fully demonstrating trust and tacit understanding among teammates. Tug-of-war with all-out effort Everyone having great funCaterpillar race showdown between two teams After the competitions, roast whole lamb and roast chicken were served—crispy on the outside, tender inside, and fragrant all around. Everyone gathered together to enjoy the meal happily, chatting about work anecdotes and daily life in a relaxed atmosphere. The afternoon was free leisure time—karaoke enthusiasts took turns at the mic, billiards tables saw friendly matches, chess and card rooms offered leisurely games, and the movie room provided a cozy viewing spot. Everyone found their own comfortable state and enjoyed the team-building fun. Crispy, tender, and aromatic roast whole lamb Cheers! Enjoying the delicious roast lamb The afternoon's off-road buggy ride was the most anticipated activity. Just as everyone donned helmets and sped off on the dirt trails, suddenly strong winds and torrential rain struck. Facing the harsh weather, the team chose to complete the activity regardless. Colleagues who are usually reserved and steady at work were especially thrilled in the rain and wind, as one buggy after another charged into the downpour, weaving through muddy and rugged terrain. On the return trip, everyone was soaked but beaming with smiles—this "unexpected" event became an unforgettable highlight. Riding through the rainstorm In the evening, the final segment—group outdoor cooking—began. Each team collected ingredients and quickly divided tasks: washing and chopping vegetables, cooking and stir-frying, plating and arranging. Colleagues showcased their culinary skills and cooperated seamlessly. Within less than an hour, each table started serving dishes one by one. With the same set of ingredients—chicken, duck, fish, potatoes, green beans, eggs, and cucumbers—each team prepared them differently: some braised, some stir-fried, some added chili peppers, each with its own flavor. Though the presentation was not as refined as restaurant fare, the dishes embodied the sweat and care of the whole group, and everyone sat together, eating with enjoyment. This trip to Tiger Gully saw everyone writing creative slogans on team flags, giving their all in tug-of-war, and racing side by side through wind and rain. Though the team building lasted only one day, this shared experience and laughter will become the best nourishment for serving our customers. Embracing General Manager Mr. Song Shiqiang’s philosophy of "work seriously, live happily," we will carry forward the spirit of "standing together through thick and thin" and "unyielding resilience" back to our workstations. With full enthusiasm and close collaboration, we will continue to provide every customer with superior semiconductor products and services, contributing to China’s "core" strength!

Through three dimensions – one professional identity, two major career endeavors, and three personal passions – Zhang Yi can be quickly understood: her core role is as Secretary-General of the Shared Procurement Alliance; her two major career areas respectively oversee the organization of the Caimai Exhibition and the Caimai Industrial Die-Cutting and Auxiliary Materials business; her three personal passions – hosting, public speaking, and tea art – showcase her poised and fluent presence on camera. When interviewed by the editorial team at SAKO Microelectronics(www.slkoric.com), she remarked with a smile and self-deprecating humor: "Everyone assumes I'm a professional host – which shows that my primary career is still worth my continued dedication." Zhang Yi, Secretary-General of the Shared Procurement Alliance As the Secretary-General of the Shared Procurement Alliance, Zhang Yi is commonly referred to by her peers as "Xiao Yi Zong." Having been part of this platform for over a decade, she summarizes her deepest sentiments in six words: altruism, growth, and achievement. Since its establishment in 2007, the Shared Procurement Alliance has consistently provided free resource matching services for procurement professionals and empowered their continuous growth, deepening its presence within the procurement community and supporting the development of countless procurement practitioners. The Alliance also actively engages procurement teams in visiting factories firsthand—exploring production workflows, material processing techniques, and manufacturing details—allowing procurement professionals to observe the entire product lifecycle—from raw materials to finished goods—with their own eyes. "Only when you understand the manufacturing process can you effectively negotiate costs; only when you fully grasp the production workflow can you effectively control quality." This is the empowerment philosophy that the Shared Procurement Alliance adheres to. Due to its commitment to authenticity, practical application, and altruism, the Alliance's events are often fully booked. For instance, factory visits originally planned for 20–25 participants frequently attract over 40 procurement professionals to join voluntarily—a clear testament to the industry's urgent need for genuine learning and hands-on professional development. Shared Procurement Alliance Member Visits Enterprises (Figure 1) The more volatile the industry environment becomes, the more prominently the alliance's value is demonstrated. Whether it's fluctuations in raw material prices, the surge in PCB costs, or supply-demand imbalances in the supply chain, the alliance is always able to swiftly establish targeted coordination channels, efficiently match resources, bridge the gap between supply and demand, and bolster confidence within the ecosystem. Shared Procurement Alliance Member Visits Enterprises (Figure 2) To continuously upgrade and empower professional development systems—ensuring that career professionals not only possess practical skills but also excel in effective communication—the [Business Communication Practice Camp], launched in August this year by the Shared Procurement Alliance under the leadership of Zhang Yi, has been officially introduced. The curriculum is designed with a tiered approach for targeted implementation: it focuses on developing communication skills for new entrants into the workforce, enhancing teaching capabilities for mid-level managers, and strengthening presentation skills for business founders. By combining online coaching with hands-on, real-world practice, the program breaks down geographical barriers and helps more professionals and entrepreneurs articulate their skills, transform knowledge into value, and turn their words into business opportunities. Cross-boundary growth: Every experience builds the confidence needed for the next chapter. In 2004, Zhang Yi moved to Shenzhen alone, where her first job was overseeing human resources. Three years of experience in HR helped her develop core competencies in building systems, establishing workflows, and leading teams. Through a serendipitous opportunity, she transitioned into the procurement sector. Upon joining the industry, she discovered that her company's procurement processes were disorganized—lacking clear review standards, an evaluation system, or standardized documentation practices. Drawing on her HR expertise in system-building, she redesigned the entire procurement management system and operational workflows from scratch, enabling the previously chaotic procurement process to operate in a standardized manner. Over the next seven years, Zhang Yi dedicated herself to working at an inductor manufacturing company, rising from a procurement specialist to Assistant General Manager, gaining extensive experience across multiple roles—including procurement, engineering, production, and management. When the Production Supervisor position was vacant for three months, she stepped in to lead her team and thoroughly mastered the entire production process; when the Engineering role was vacant, she self-taught herself CAD drawing techniques and gained a deep understanding of product structures. Her hands-on experience working on the front lines of the manufacturing industry gave her a comprehensive understanding of the entire enterprise value chain—spanning production, quality control, supply chain management, and operational management—laying a solid foundation for her future entrepreneurial endeavors. Zhang Yi during an interview with the slkor Micro-Press Corps Entrepreneurial Deepening: Exhibition Services + Industrial Manufacturing – Two Parallel Approaches In 2017, Zhang Yi embarked on a full-time entrepreneurial journey by founding Caimai Exhibition Services, a company specializing in custom-designed exhibition booths and halls, as well as comprehensive event planning and execution services. Although she did not have a background in design, she initially paid her younger brother to learn the craft; later, she took charge of the technical side while she herself focused on the front-end market. She steadfastly rejects template-based design approaches and instead focuses on providing tailored, "one-company, one-solution" customization services. To date, she has completed over 1,000 exhibition booth and hall design and construction projects, serving spaces ranging from 36 to 660 square meters; she has provided full-service event planning for 800 events of various scales and has personally hosted more than 200 business events. She has served numerous enterprises and industry organizations, including Sunwoda, Baoling, Guangdong Bell, the Robotics Association, and the Logistics Association. All her solutions are tailored to align with the brand's identity and the specific characteristics of each product, and her strong track record of professional execution has earned her a solid reputation. Sunwoda Exhibition Stand Case Study Jiawei Booth Case Study Baoling Exhibition Hall Case Study The event planning business was developed in response to the growing demand for internal alliance events. Events such as alliance annual conferences, industry matchmaking sessions, and procurement salons all require professional support—including backdrops, stage lighting, photography, and videography. Initially, outsourcing these services came with high costs and low efficiency; therefore, the company gradually began integrating its in-house resources—covering stage design, lighting, audio systems, backdrops, and staffing (hosting, etiquette coordination, program execution, and filming)—to establish a seamless, end-to-end implementation process. Today, Caimai Event Services handles an average of 40–50 large-scale government, corporate, and industry events annually, ranging from annual conferences to press conferences and industry forums. Chuan-Yu Tongxin Conference Event Planning Case Study Event Etiquette and Program Performance Case Studies The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 impacted the exhibition services industry. Zhang Yi began considering launching a new business venture – one that would be unaffected by in-person events – and she chose the die-cutting and auxiliary materials sector as her focus area, specializing in materials such as foam, conductive fabric, waterproof and breathable films, lens backing adhesives, and insulating gaskets. The Shared Procurement Alliance possessed a substantial base of manufacturing industry clients, which served as a strong foundation for her entry into this field. Cailü Industrial Production Workshop Cailü Industrial Production Equipment CaiMu Industrial was registered in 2016; in March 2023, it officially acquired a stake and commenced operations at its die-cutting production facility; by 2025, the company established itself at the Tiezishan site in Bao'an District, expanding and upgrading its facility to a 2,800 m² standardized factory equipped with a cleanroom and two additional round-cutting machines, and deploying six standardized die-cutting production lines. The company holds ISO9001, ISO14000, and ISO16949 certifications. Its current client base includes manufacturers of mobile phones, cameras, earphones, audio devices, televisions, monitors, automobiles, and other products requiring injection molding or finished goods production. Nurturing the mind with passion, guiding others through growth. Beyond her professional life, public speaking, hosting, and tea art have long been a source of self-cultivation for Zhang Yi. Four years of experience at the Speaking Club have profoundly transformed her mindset and perspective. Previously, she was knowledgeable but lacked the willingness to share her insights; today, she delights in empowering others and achieving personal growth. She says, "Seeing others push beyond their limits and grow through my sharing brings me a greater sense of fulfillment than winning an award myself." Zhang Yi presided over the 2024 Greater Bay Area Electronics Summit and the 56th Electronic Components Resource Matching Event. Zhang Yi presided over the annual corporate meeting. The art of tea drinking serves as her personal way of calming her mind. Given the fast-paced lifestyle and work environment in Shenzhen, she uses tea to cultivate her inner peace and apply serenity to navigate life's challenges; through the process of brewing tea, calming her mind, and reflecting upon her thoughts, she nurtures her emotions and refines her character, enabling her to remain clear-headed, composed, and calm amidst the myriad demands of her business career. Zhang Yi believes that all her passions ultimately contribute to her professional success. Her strong expressive abilities allow her to better empower her network; her keen empathy enables her to serve her clients more effectively; and her steadfast composure helps her manage her enterprise with greater confidence. Zhang Yi performed a tea art ceremony at the 18th Anniversary Celebration of the Shared Alliance. From HR to procurement, from senior corporate executives to an entrepreneur specializing in exhibition services, and from event management to physical manufacturing operations – every career transition Zhang Yi has undertaken was never merely a trend-following move, but rather a strategic step forward driven by the continuous refinement and evolution of every path she had traveled, every hardship she had endured, and every piece of experience she had accumulated – all of which continue to add value to her journey. When speaking about the future, she remains humble and committed to continuous improvement: "I will continue to dedicate myself fully to my work in the industrial sector and exhibition management, but on the path of lecturer empowerment, I need to keep refining my approach and achieving new breakthroughs." She also plans to leverage her downtime to effectively manage the Business Communication Practice Camp, aiming to truly help participants showcase their skills, transform their knowledge into tangible value, and turn their words into business opportunities. As she once wrote to herself: "Use humility to build a network of connections; use perseverance to pursue your career." Here, Kinghelm (www.kinghelm.net) and Slkor wish Zhang Yi continued success in serving more enterprises and thriving business ventures!

Shared Procurement Alliance is one of China’s influential procurement communities. It connects 60,000 procurement practitioners with more than 100,000 supplier enterprises. Its chapters cover over ten cities across China and have expanded to Vietnam and Thailand. The community originated from a QQ group created by founder Chen Xuepeng back in 2007, when he worked as a procurement specialist at Foxconn. After nineteen-year development, it has evolved from a simple group chat into a full-fledged supply-chain ecosystem. As an enterprise member of the Alliance, the editorial team of Slkor Semiconductor visited the Alliance’s headquarters for this issue, conducting an interview with Chen Xuepeng to hear his story of how a QQ-group grew into a professional industry platform. Chen Xuepeng, Founder of Shared Procurement Alliance Growth: From a QQ Group to "A Big Family for Procurement Professionals" The idea to establish the Shared Procurement Alliance stemmed from the real-life dilemmas faced by procurement practitioners: limited access to professional contacts and resources at work, and a lack of reliable channels for peer-to-peer learning. Chen Xuepeng had a straightforward vision at that time — to build a circle where procurement staff could expand connections, locate resources and offer mutual support. That marked the embryonic form of the Alliance. For the first ten years, the platform operated entirely on a non-profit basis. There was no revenue model nor full-time staff. Members were brought together through weekly offline exchange meetings, industry salons and outdoor events. Relationships back then were genuine. Participants interacted purely as friends without any interest-driven ties. Today, the Alliance manages more than 600 WeChat groups. Those junior procurement staff in the early days have now grown into procurement managers and procurement directors. The trust accumulated over nearly two decades has become the platform’s most valuable asset. Chen Xuepeng during the interview What has kept the Alliance going for nearly two decades is user stickiness, its core advantage that sets it apart from other platforms. According to Chen Xuepeng, many comparable platforms collapse within two or three years. Their common pitfall lies in the fact that they hold no genuine resources themselves, while merely attracting parties seeking customers.From the very beginning, the Alliance has centered on buyers, building "a big family for procurement professionals" and fostering a sense of ownership among procurement practitioners. More importantly, reputation has always been its top priority. Over the years, it has resisted all short-term temptations such as selling member contact data. Members of Shared Procurement Alliance visit Slkor Semiconductor This persistence has yielded exceptionally strong user stickiness. The Alliance charges almost no fees: apart from training courses, all events and resource-matching services are completely free of charge. Every week, training sessions, resource-matching meetings and industry salons are regularly held in Shenzhen, Dongguan, Huizhou and other cities. More than a dozen badminton clubs and public-speaking clubs also keep operating. As an enterprise member of the Alliance, Slkor Semiconductor also takes part in its activities. The Alliance once hosted a salon at Slkor’s Shenzhen headquarters, where dozens of procurement members visited the company. They attended technical briefings and product sharing sessions delivered by Slkor’s technical staff, and the event was very well-received. Transformation: From a Non-profit Community to an Industrial Ecosystem With more than ten years of procurement experience, Chen Xuepeng noticed that most practitioners in this field came from unrelated backgrounds. Society generally holds the misconception that procurement requires no professional expertise. Some business owners prefer assigning procurement positions to their relatives rather than hiring qualified specialists. Young newcomers eager to learn receive little on-the-job guidance after joining companies, as senior staff are reluctant to provide mentorship, and there is no dedicated procurement major in universities. For these reasons, he launched procurement training programs back in 2011. Shared Procurement Alliance holds the 1st Advanced Procurement Skills Training Course The training curriculum is fully practice-oriented. The beginner courses target procurement clerks, intermediate courses are designed for procurement engineers, and advanced courses serve procurement managers and directors. Specialized courses covering various raw materials including hardware, plastics, packaging, batteries, PCBs and chips are also available, focusing on material composition, manufacturing processes and market conditions.The Alliance currently has more than 70 lecturers, most of whom are front-line supply-chain veterans from large enterprises such as Foxconn, TCL and ZTE. Boasting 10- to-20-year-plus hands-on experience and solid knowledge of standardized management systems, their lectures draw entirely from real-world practice, ranging from basic business communication and work reporting to department coordination and anomaly handling. Shared Procurement Alliance Electronic-Material Industry Resource-Matching Summit With its training system well-established, the Alliance began to expand overseas. As manufacturing shifted toward Southeast Asia, the Alliance took the lead in setting up chapters in Bac Ninh of Vietnam and Rayong of Thailand. It has also gathered abundant resources of Chinese-funded enterprises across Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia and Singapore.According to Chen Xuepeng, companies investing and building factories in Vietnam can only enjoy tariff preferential policies when over 30 % of their raw materials are sourced locally. Newly-arrived enterprises often have little local market knowledge, and the Alliance acts as their resource navigator. At present, there are more than ten WeChat groups in Vietnam covering five to six thousand enterprises, while the Thailand chapter has assembled over one thousand member companies. Group photo at the first gathering of Chen Xuepeng and Wuhan Chapter of Shared Procurement Alliance After 2017, Chen Xuepeng began full-time operation of the Shared Procurement Alliance and started exploring a sustainable business model. Training programs, enterprise membership services and exhibition services were successively launched.In 2026, he rolled out two new revenue-generating projects. The first is centralized procurement, which consolidates scattered demands from small-sized enterprises into large-volume orders to negotiate better pricing with upstream suppliers and help companies cut costs. The second is in-depth member engagement, enabling procurement practitioners within the platform to act as promotion nodes for enterprise-member clients, so as to realize the closed-loop circulation of procurement and sales resources on the platform. Shared Procurement Alliance attends 2023 International New Materials Exhibition Even more promising are the under-construction B2B industrial internet platform and the newly-established Supply Chain AI Application Research Institute. In his view, AI will penetrate every industry and occupation within the next three to five years. "If we fail to embrace AI, we will be outcompeted by those who do." Once the new platform goes live, procurement requirement posting, supplier responses and order matching will all become digital and visual, breaking free from the current limitations of relying on WeChat groups and Excel spreadsheets. Roots: Let the Tree of Business Take Root in Society While achieving continuous commercial progress, the Alliance has never forgotten to ground itself in society. Since 2014, it has provided one-on-one financial aid to nearly 300 underprivileged students across Xizang, Sichuan, Guizhou, Hunan, Jiangxi, Hubei and other regions. Each student receives an annual grant of 2,000 RMB until their graduation from university. Chen Xuepeng often leads field-visit teams in person. On one occasion, he drove more than 6,000 kilometers across multiple provinces to visit the sponsored students. Shared Procurement Alliance visits special-needs children In addition, the Alliance organizes annual outreach activities including visits to nursing homes and orphanages, as well as donations for mountain-area primary schools. Donated supplies cover multimedia blackboards, football fields, water heaters and electric fans. Volunteers also celebrate Children’s Day together with local children.During this year’s "520 Outdoor Clean-up Day", Chen Xuepeng took his son to collect litter. From his perspective, setting a good example through personal conduct represents the best form of education for children. Chen Xuepeng leads the team to spend Children’s Day with kids at school Off-the-Stage: The Other Side of Chen Xuepeng Stepping into Chen Xuepeng’s office, a record player and a guitar stand quietly in the corner. After wrapping up his busy work for the Alliance, he picks up the guitar to play for a while, goes live to sing a few songs for relaxation, and occasionally plays ensemble music with friends in the park or takes on some performance gigs. This serves as his gateway to the world of music, an outward outlet for his long-cherished musical dream. Chen Xuepeng performs outdoors with friends When talking about his hometown Yongzhou in Hunan Province, Chen Xuepeng speaks with obvious pride. "Last year, the Yongzhou team beat the Changde team 1-0 and claimed the championship of the first Hunan Super Football League." During the tournament, he put up billboards in his hometown bearing the slogan: "Based in Shenzhen, heart tied to my hometown". Even though he could not travel back to watch the matches in person, he promoted Yongzhou’s cultural tourism via WeChat Moments and short-video platforms, hoping that more people would get to know and visit Yongzhou. Shared Procurement Alliance 18th-Anniversary Celebration Looking back on the past nineteen years, the motto "Share Resources, Connect the World" has evolved from a simple slogan into a platform gathering 60,000 procurement practitioners and more than 100,000 supplier enterprises. According to Chen Xuepeng, he aims to build a global supply-chain business ecosystem based on the existing foundation. Yet his core mission remains unchanged: to drive the sound development of the procurement profession and enable more efficient resource connection, which is what he will keep pursuing. At present, the teams of Kinghelm and Slkor Semiconductor have gradually integrated into the ecosystem built by the Shared Procurement Alliance and found their own value within it. Mr. Song Shiqiang extends his best wishes for the Alliance’s continued prosperity.

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." Ⅱ. At Kinghelm Chief Engineer Mr. Qin deeply engaged in his work Mr. Qin outlined his four main areas of focus.The first is providing strong technical support to the sales team by promptly answering technical questions from salespeople and responding to customers’ technical requirements.The second is future product planning, where he is currently leading the implementation of the Kinghelm Future Product Roadmap. The third is professional technical training for headquarters staff, which aligns with the product planning.

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!

The connection between Huaqiangbei and Hong Kong's electronics industry originated from cost and geographical advantages in the early stages of China's reform and opening-up policy. At that time, Hong Kong's manufacturing sector faced increasing pressure from rising land and labor costs, whereas Shenzhen—separated only by a river—possessed low labor costs and ample land resources; moreover, the "Three-Processing and One-Compensation" policy provided further convenient for Hong Kong businesses to expand northward. Located in the Futian District, Huaqiangbei borders the Luohu Port, making it the natural preferred destination for Hong Kong electronics enterprises to relocate. Photo: Taken at Huaqiangbei Museum Hong Kong brought not only industrial relocation to Huaqiangbei but also capital, technology, and international management expertise. In the early stages of China's reform and opening-up policy, Shenzhen lacked access to advanced technology, equipment, and capital; however, leveraging its geographical proximity to Hong Kong, many cutting-edge international technologies and components could be introduced into mainland China via the Luohu Bridge. Hong Kong-based businesses established factories in the Shangbu Industrial Zone through joint ventures and cooperative arrangements, introducing advanced electronic manufacturing technologies and international corporate management practices, thereby laying the industrial foundation for Huaqiangbei. Leveraging Hong Kong's extensive international trade network, Huaqiangbei has been able to swiftly integrate into the global market. As a free port and a key gateway for international trade, Hong Kong boasts a robust logistics system and a vast network of overseas customers. Components imported from abroad enter Huaqiangbei via Hong Kong, while products manufactured in Huaqiangbei are distributed worldwide through Hong Kong. This two-way flow—combining "bringing in" and "going global" —has transformed Huaqiangbei from a mere industrial zone into a leading electronics trading hub that connects the Chinese mainland with global markets. With the development of the industrial sector, Huaqiangbei has established a collaborative model known as the "front-store, back-factory" framework. In his book *Song Shiqiang's Perspectives on Huaqiangbei, Shenzhen*, Song Shiqiang, General Manager of SAKO Micro/Jinhangbiao, noted that the area initially utilized the "Three Inputs and One Compensation" bonded processing model – based on imported materials – to accommodate industrial relocation; this model later evolved into the "front-store, back-factory" business approach: Huaqiangbei serves as the "store" responsible for distribution and trading, while surrounding cities act as the "factory" handling production and manufacturing. This division of labor has significantly shortened the time required to transform product concepts into mass production, collectively shaping the distinctive industrial character of Huaqiangbei. To date, the collaboration between Hong Kong and Huaqiangbei continues to deepen. Evolving from initial processing trade to current supply chain synergy, the electronics industries of both regions have established a complementary relationship. Hong Kong's strengths in international finance, shipping, and trade complement Huaqiangbei's advantages in manufacturing, innovation, and supply chain management, jointly driving the high-quality development of the electronic information industry across the Greater Bay Area.

The development trajectory of Huaqiangbei can be broadly divided into the following five stages:Phase I: The Industrial Foundation Period (1979–1988). As Shenzhen's earliest developed industrial zone, the Shangbu Industrial Zone hosted a number of large enterprises, including SEG, Huaqiang, and Laiyinda. In March 1988, the SEG Group utilized its existing industrial facilities to establish the SEG Electronic Supporting Market—a move widely regarded as the birthmark of Huaqiangbei. Phase II: Market Prosperity Period (1988–2007). The SEG Electronics Market was gradually expanded to cover the entire building, and the Huaqiang Group promptly followed suit by converting its factory premises into the Huaqiang Electronics Market. In 1994, Wanjia Department Store moved in, effectively revitalizing the surrounding commercial environment; subsequently, the "One-Meter Counter" phenomenon emerged, and the "front-store, back-factory" model took shape. After China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001, global demand for electronic components surged significantly. Specialized markets such as the Metropolis Building and New Asia were successively established, and Huaqiangbei's customer base and sales network began to expand internationally. Photo taken at the Huaqiangbei Museum Phase III: The Peak Era of Copycat Mobile Phones (2007–2013). In 2007, the mobile phone production licensing system was abolished, leading to a rapid expansion in the scale of mobile phone manufacturing and shipment at Huaqiangbei. According to relevant statistics, the annual shipment volume had reached approximately 150 million units by around 2006. In 2008, Huaqiangbei was honored with the title of "China's No.1 Electronics Street"; its daily visitor traffic once ranged between 500,000 and 800,000 people, and the area gave rise to numerous billionaires. Phase IV: The Transition Adjustment Period (2013–2020). Between 2013 and 2017, the construction of Metro Line 7 led to the closure of major thoroughfares and constrained transportation conditions; simultaneously, the decentralization of online e-commerce diminished the bustling foot traffic in Huaqiangbei. Coupled with the government's strengthened efforts to protect intellectual property rights and its crackdown on the sale of counterfeit products, this situation resulted in a significant exodus of merchants and the recurrent emergence of vacant storefronts, subjecting the overall commercial ecosystem to substantial adjustment pressures. Phase V: The Era of New Quality Productivity and the Rise of the Maker Movement (2020–Present). In early 2025, Huaqiangbei was designated as the "Leading Street for the Origin of New Quality Productivity." Building upon its well-established smart hardware supply chain hub, government authorities actively promoted the development of a maker ecosystem, with a focus on emerging sectors such as drones, AI glasses, and robotics. The region's annual transaction volume grew from approximately RMB 400 billion in 2024 to around RMB 480 billion in 2025; the average daily number of foreign buyers and visitors exceeded 7,000, reflecting a steadily increasing level of internationalization.

The Shangbu Industrial Zone was the precursor to the Huaqiangbei business district. In the early 1980s, the Shenzhen Municipal Urban Construction Planning Committee decided to develop an industrial zone centered on the electronics industry and contract manufacturing operations in the area now known as Huaqiangbei, naming it the Shangbu Industrial Zone. At that time, the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone had been established only recently; the Shangbu Industrial Zone was considered part of the suburban area and was one of the first industrial zones planned under Shenzhen's "Attracting Domestic Resources and Linking with External Markets" strategy. Large enterprises operating in the machinery, energy, aviation, electronics, and textile industries concentrated their investments or established branch offices here; buildings such as the CGN Building, AVIC Garden, China Electronics, Aihua, Sanga, and Jinghua were successively completed. Among the six major municipal state-owned enterprise groups, the headquarters of five—Sage, Energy, Petrochemicals, Textiles, and Light Industry—were all located here, and over a hundred joint ventures invested in this area, forming a "clustered, segmented" industrial space along the main thoroughfare. Photo taken at the Huaqiangbei Museum Huaqiangbei is the core area of the Shangbu Industrial Zone. In March 1988, the SEG Group established the SEG Electronic Supporting Market on Huaqiangbei North Road; initially, it comprised more than 160 manufacturers and 10 Hong Kong-based businesses operating under their own management and sales systems, marking the embryonic form of the Huaqiangbei electronics market. In 1994, the "Wanjia Department Store" – a subsidiary of the Vanke Group – opened its doors in this area, revitalizing the local commercial scene. Subsequently, various commercial projects—including the Manha Shopping Mall, Women's World, New Dahao Garment City, and Golden Lighting – were successively launched, further enhancing the vibrant commercial atmosphere of Huaqiangbei. With the rise of the electronics manufacturing industry in the Pearl River Delta, the demand for electronic components surged significantly. Driven by leading enterprises such as Huaqiang Electronics Market and SEG Electronics Market, specialized electronics markets—including Xin Asia, Gaoke De (the former site of the Xin Dahao Garment City), and Guoli—emerged successively, while markets for categories such as watches, gifts, 3C digital products, and telecommunications equipment also began to establish themselves in the area. This commercial prosperity led to rising rental costs, prompting factories within the industrial zone to gradually relocate. As a result, the Shangbu Industrial Zone transformed from a traditional factory district into the "Huaqiangbei Business District" and an electronic component trading hub, ultimately evolving into the nationally renowned "China's No.1 Electronics Street."

The name "Huaqiangbei" originates from the Huaqiang Group. In 1979, the Guangdong Provincial Bureau of Electronic Industry relocated military factories from northern Guangdong to Shenzhen and established the Shenzhen Huaqiang Electronic Industry Company. The two characters "Huaqiang" symbolize"a strong and prosperous China" . When planning and constructing roads, the Shenzhen municipal government named the road near the company Huaqiang Road. Later, as Shennan Boulevard intersected with Huaqiang Road, the road was divided into northern and southern sections: the part south of Shennan Road became Huaqiang South Road, while the area north of the road was abbreviated as "Huaqiangbei". In the early days of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, this area was nothing but remote paddy fields. As enterprises such as the Huaqiang Group and Laiyinda Group successively set up factories here, along with institutions in machinery, energy, aviation, electronics, and textiles, the area became the Shangbu Industrial Zone of Futian District. It was home to electronics companies including Huaqiang Electronics, China Electronics, SEG Electronics, Jinghua Electronics, Aihua Electronics, and SED Philips, laying the foundation for the development of Huaqiangbei's electronic information industry. In 1994, Wanjia Department Store, a subsidiary of Vanke Group, moved from Youyi City in Luohu District to Huaqiangbei. Its business boomed, driving the opening of malls such as Women's World, Shunde Home Appliances, Manha Department Store, Golden Lighting, Wanfang Computer City, and International Audio City. Huaqiangbei gradually transformed from an industrial zone into a commercial center. Subsequently, more than 50 specialized markets opened one after another, including the Pacific Security Market, Gift Market, Watch and Clock Market, Baohua Communications Market, Oriental Fashion Plaza, Tongbao Second-hand Market, and Causeway Bay Department Store on nearby Huabei Road. These developments established Huaqiangbei as a famous commercial district in Shenzhen, rivaling the Dongmen commercial district in Luohu District in influence. The booming business of Huaqiangbei Electronics World and the completion of the SEG Plaza drove growth in integrated circuit sales and brought large crowds to Huaqiangbei. In October 2008, the China Electronics Industry Association awarded Huaqiangbei the title of "China's No. 1 Electronics Street." In July 2009, to better serve and manage the Huaqiangbei commercial district, the Futian District government officially established the Huaqiangbei Subdistrict. Huaqiangbei has since developed into a world-renowned electronics distribution hub, with integrated circuits and 3C digital products sold worldwide. In April 2024, "Huaqiangbei" was selected for Shenzhen's first batch of geographical name protection list, categorized under "reform and opening-up place names," becoming an important witness to Shenzhen's reform and opening-up history. Song Shiqiang, General Manager of Kinghelm and Slkor, believes that Huaqiangbei is a showcase of China's economic achievements from reform and opening-up.
