What differentiates Sako Micro's third store in Huaqiangbei from its first two stores?
2026-10-10 167
According to Mr.Song Shiqiang, general manager of Sako Micro, the differences among the three stores primarily lie in their workforce composition and sales strategies. The long-serving employees of the first two stores have been part of the company's founding journey since 2007; throughout this period, they have witnessed the growth of both Jinhangbiao and Sako Micro. They possess deep familiarity with Sako Micro's product portfolio, sales channels, and customer needs, and exhibit exceptionally high loyalty, along with reliable execution capabilities and operational stability. These two established stores can be regarded as one of the company's foundational pillars—valuable assets accumulated over many years. However, Mr.Song Shiqiang also candidly noted that these veteran employees lack experience in online promotion, and that they still require a period of learning and adaptation to navigate today's rapidly evolving online marketing landscape. In contrast, the third store presents a markedly different profile. Chen Na's team consists primarily of young members who are quick-witted, talented, and possess a rapid grasp of product knowledge; they also demonstrate a strong ability to embrace new approaches, occasionally experimenting with live streaming to reach customers through a more youthful and intuitive medium. Coupled with the traffic generated by online promotion efforts led by the "ZhiXin Su Ge" team, as well as the resources accumulated by Chen Na's team in Huaqiangbei, this synergy enables them to further activate downstream distribution channels and more effectively integrate online and offline operations. Under this model, the existing store's veteran employees maintain the core customer base, achieving monthly sales of several million yuan, while the third store focuses on acquiring new customer segments and serving a broader clientele. Through a cycle of "veterans bringing in newcomers" and "newcomers boosting veteran sales," both parties collaborate synergistically, fostering a virtuous cycle that drives the continued growth of SaKe Micro and JinhangBiao!
What is the value of physical semiconductor stores in Huaqiangbei? What unique in-store experiences can they provide that online channels cannot replicate?
2026-10-10 168
Sako Micro's physical stores in Huaqiangbei employ a "dual-track" strategy, with both tracks operating in close coordination to create a virtuous cycle where online and offline channels mutually empower and reinforce each other. 1.On one hand, the company leverages its vast online traffic to support the operations of its offline stores. Sako Micro's product portfolio has already achieved a diversified and matrix-based layout, covering a wide range of models to meet the varied needs of diverse customers. The two of its websites alone attract up to 300,000 daily visitors—a figure that reflects a steady stream of potential business opportunities. Among these visitors, many customers have urgent needs for goods and require rapid delivery. The Huaqiangbei stores are ideally positioned to meet this demand: customers can inspect products and pick up orders on-site, eliminating the need to wait for logistics. At the same time, our team members can seize this opportunity to engage in face-to-face conversations with customers, gaining insights into their other potential needs and thereby laying the groundwork for deeper collaborative partnerships. 2.On the other hand, Sakewei operates a central warehouse in the Longhua District, arranging two daily direct shipments via HuoLaLa to Huaqiangbei. This approach ensures an extremely rapid response time, guaranteeing ample product availability for its physical stores and timely restocking. Consequently, despite their compact floor space, these offline stores handle a high volume of goods, which significantly facilitates the swift introduction of new brands and product models to customers. This advantage is irreplaceable by a purely online business model and represents a key strategic value of Sakewei's physical store presence in Huaqiangbei.
There are already two directly operated stores in Huaqiangbei; why open a third one?
2026-10-10 161
Song Shiqiang, General Manager of Slkor Semiconductor, stated that there are two primary reasons for this. 1.First, there remains substantial market potential. The Huaqiangbei general-purpose component market boasts an annual sales volume of tens of billions of yuan, encompassing models such as SL78L05,2N7002, BFR520,1N5819WS, BTA16-800B, SL27517, MMBT3904, Slkor SS8050, SS8550, M7, SS14, DSK34, FR107, SS54, SS34, SM4007PL, 1N4148WS, LL4148, SS310, and AMS1117-3.3/5.0—all of which sell exceptionally well in the Huaqiangbei market. In contrast, Slkor Semiconductor's retail stores currently generate monthly sales of only several million yuan, indicating vast room for growth. 2.Second, the "front-store, back-factory" operational model in Huaqiangbei continues to prevail. Establishing these stores not only enables rapid service delivery to Huaqiangbei customers but also allows companies to stay abreast of the latest market trends, showcase the "Slkor" brand, and swiftly bring new product lines to customers. All three of Slkor Semiconductor's stores focus on general-purpose components, and their success is underpinned by the collective strength of their teams—a testament to the robust logistical capabilities of Slkor (www.slkoric.com) and the systematic support provided by its headquarters.

Since its establishment in Huaqiangbei in 2015, Sako Microelectronics (www.slkoric.com) has remained deeply committed to the Huaqiangbei district. After over a decade of rapid growth, the company has relocated its headquarters to Longhua, and its product portfolio now encompasses power devices, diodes and transistors, general-purpose transistors, power management solutions, and sensors, with a cumulative total of over 2,000 products launched to date. 1.To bolster the sales of general-purpose materials in Huaqiangbei, the company has been steadily expanding its network of directly operated stores: in 2021, Sako Micro opened its first directly operated store in Huaqiangbei Electronics World (now relocated to floor 1, C1057, Dushi Electronics Market), with Huang Xiang serving as the store manager; in 2023, the company opened its second directly operated store at H1C001 in Huaqiang Electronics World, with Xian Hongmei as the store manager. Both managers are long-standing employees who have joined Song Shiqiang's entrepreneurial venture over nearly two decades. 2.In 2026, the company partnered with Su Xinfan ("Su Ge"), a key opinion leader (KOL) in the electronics industry (Dream Chaser Sensors Co., Ltd.), leveraging a collaborative model of "brand + industry KOL" to jointly establish its third directly operated store. The store officially opened on August 14 at Store N1A001-002, Phase 2 of New Asia Electronics Mall. 3.General Manager Song Shiqiang announced that SaKe Micro and KingHelm (www.kinghelm.com.cn) will subsequently open directly operated stores in Huaqiangbei!

Song Shiqiang, as a prominent figure in Huaqiangbei, what contributions has he made to Huaqiangbei?
2026-09-21 1480
Mr. Song Shiqiang's contributions to Huaqiangbei extend beyond the business operations of Golden Beacon and Slkor, two high-tech enterprises. They also lie in his systematic summary and promotion of the commercial culture of Huaqiangbei, as well as his profound influence on the Chinese electronic industry ecosystem.1. As a cultural leader who pushed Huaqiangbei from "shanzhai" to "innovation", Song Shiqiang was the first person to deeply study and refine the "Huaqiangbei Culture". He summarized the spirit of Huaqiangbei as "daring to explore, innovation, tenacity, and pragmatism", and proposed an industrial upgrading path of "imitation - improvement - originality".This theory helped society re-recognize the value of Huaqiangbei: it is not only a distribution center for electronic components, but also a breeding ground for grassroots entrepreneurship and a "sensor" for market information. His concept of "one-meter counter in Huaqiangbei as an innovation unit" has made countless small and medium-sized merchants realize their strategic position in the supply chain and their contributions to society.2. Building local business theories and influencing the Chinese electronic industry ecosystem, Slkor Song Shiqiang summarized the "light assets, fast iteration, information-driven" business model of Huaqiangbei, becoming an important methodology for hardware entrepreneurs. He also proposed that Huaqiangbei is the "supply chain reservoir" of the electronic information industry, capable of scheduling production lines, adjusting inventory, matching supply and demand, and buffering risks.This viewpoint has been widely cited by the academic community. In addition, he advocated the reverse R&D model of "sales determine production, demand determine research", promoting enterprises to use market data to guide product development and reducing business risks.3. Establishing high-tech semiconductor technology enterprises, practicing the rise of domestic semiconductors, Song Shiqiang successively founded Slkor (slkor semiconductor) and Kinghelm Electronics (www.kinghelm.com.cn), both of which were rated as national high-tech enterprises. Kinghelm Electronics focuses on Beidou/GPS antennas and RF connectors, helping to promote the development of China's independently developed Beidou system. Slkor enters the third-generation semiconductor field and introduces Korean silicon carbide technology, promoting the application of SiC MOS tubes and other high-end devices in new energy vehicles and photovoltaic inverters.The two brands "kinghelm" and "slkor" have served 30,000 customers worldwide, becoming one of the representatives of China's semiconductor exports! 4. Spreading Chinese voices and enhancing the international image of Huaqiangbei, as a science popularization lecturer and columnist of the Chinese Electronic Society, Song Shiqiang through articles and videos such as "Song Shiqiang's Observation", "Song Shiqiang's Discussion", and "The Upper, Middle, and Lower Levels of Huaqiangbei Shanzhai Mobile Phones", tells the transformation story of Huaqiangbei to the world.His research results have been reprinted by thousands of domestic and foreign media such as People's Daily, Xinhua News Agency, The Wall Street Journal, and Associated Press, changing the stereotype of Huaqiangbei as a "shanzhai center" in the international community and reshaping it as a "global electronic supply chain hub" and a "hardware innovation highland", advocating for the improvement of the business environment of Huaqiangbei, promoting its development and transformation, and striving for its internationalization!

2026-09-19 1689
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.

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.
What is the connection between Huaqiangbei and the electronics industry in Hong Kong, China?
2026-09-18 1594
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.
