ARM创始人：被日本软银收购是英国科技行业“哀伤日” - 软银,收购,ARM - IT资讯
本周一，日本软银集团宣布斥资320亿美元收购英国芯片设计公司ARM，消息震惊科技行业。ARM创始人霍瑟（Hermann Hauser）对英国BBC表示，当天是英国科技行业的“哀伤日”。
霍瑟表示，听说软银将会收购ARM，自己感到“十分忧伤”，“这也是英国科技行业令人忧伤的一天”。
1990年，在霍瑟的主导下，ARM控股公司从Acorn计算机公司剥离成为独立公司，迄今已经成为移动芯片领域举足轻重的企业。霍瑟还透露，2015年，全世界基于ARM技术的移动芯片销量达到了150亿片，超过了美国英特尔公司历史芯片销量总和。
霍瑟表示，ARM增强了英国在科技领域的实力，“这家英国公司决定了下一代微处理器的架构，这种架构将会用于下一代的智能手机，以及更加重要的物联网领域。”
软银的收购报价，比ARM最新股价溢价了43%，该公司董事会已经建议股东大会批准收购交易。
霍瑟表示，软银收购ARM，意味着“未来新科技的决定权不再在英国人手中，而是在日本。”
ARM表示，在收购交易完成后，公司总部仍然会在英国剑桥，另外未来五年内，员工人数将会翻一倍。另外，软银也会保持ARM基本业务不变，保留现有的管理层，以及对外部芯片设计公司提供授权的商业模式。
据BBC报道，五年前，英国剑桥曾经出现三家世界级的科技公司，分别是ARM、Autonomy和CSR公司。
后来，美国电脑企业惠普公司收购了Autonomy，这一交易在后续引发了欺诈等风波。去年，美国高通也收购了CSR公司。如今，这三家中唯一剩下的ARM，也将归属一家日本公司。
不过BBC指出，软银可能是ARM未来更好的家。此前，软银曾经收购法国机器人业务公司Aldebaran，并帮助该公司实现了业务国际化。
英国首相特丽莎·梅表示，软银收购ARM的交易表明，即使是在脱离欧盟之后，英国经济依然能够取得成功。
英国脱离欧盟公投之后，英镑汇率大跌，给全球企业收购英国资产提供了绝佳的机会。就在最近，中国万达集团收购了总部在英国的欧洲最大的电影院线。
英国首相府的一名发言人表示，软银收购ARM的交易符合英国的利益，对于英国的就业者、英国经济都将是好消息。
