韩国两家芯片制造大厂现代电子与LG半导体两家公司已经原则同意合并,目前正在继续谈判、交换文档和备忘录,但分析家们认为在近期内开始实施的可能性不大。这两家公司合并之后将成为全球第二大的计算机内存制造商,占有17％的市场份额,同样是韩国的另一家大公司三星电子则以19％的份额居第一位。业界的分析家们认为关键的问题在于这两家公司是否能够在合并后的企业里找到一个合适的比例分配点以及经营状况不佳的当地银行能够提供多少帮助。如果信贷银行不能够提供足够的帮助,合并不会有多大效果,只会产生一个体积庞大充满问题的公司。现代电子目前背着75亿美元的债务,LG电子的债务为45亿美元。由于诸如债务重组和政府财政支持等问题,甚至有分析家怀疑这两家公司是否真的愿意合并。即使两家公司能够达成最终协议,新组建的公司能够产生多大影响也是个问题。如果合并后的公司还是以DRAM为核心,那么合并并没有太大意义,如果把业务 Two South Korean chip maker Hyundai Electronics and LG Semiconductor have agreed in principle to the merger and are now continuing negotiations, exchange of documents and memos, but analysts believe that in the near future is unlikely to start. The two companies will be the world’s second-largest maker of computer memory after the merger, accounting for 17% of the market, while South Korea’s another major company, Samsung Electronics, will take the No. 1 spot with 19%. Industry analysts think the key question is whether the two companies will find a suitable point of distribution in the combined company and how much help will be provided by the local banks that are not doing well. If the credit bank can not provide enough help, the merger will not have much effect, only to produce a huge problem-filled companies. Hyundai Electronics currently carries $ 7.5 billion of debt and LG Electronics owns $ 4.5 billion. Some analysts even suspect the two companies are really willing to merge because of issues such as debt restructuring and government financial support. Even if the two companies are able to reach a definitive agreement, how much impact the newly formed company can have is a problem. If the combined company or DRAM as the core, then the merger does not make much sense if the business
