[경제]Lee Jae-yong’s total number of gaps prolonged…large-scale investment decision’unsure’

[앵커]

As the ruling on the ruling of the ruling and repatriation of the Gukjeong Nongdan bribery case was finalized yesterday, Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong was forced to live in prison until July next year.

As the long-term vacancy began, Samsung Electronics faced uncertainty over major decisions, such as whether to invest in US semiconductor factories.

Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong would not be able to return to management for the next 1 year and 6 months without amnesty or parole.

For the Samsung Group, there was a long-term total head gap at the time when a major decision related to astronomical investment was required.

Taiwan’s TSMC, a competitor of the consignment production’Foundry’, has already announced a huge investment of about 30 trillion won this year to take advantage of the trend of the semiconductor super boom.

Samsung Electronics is also facing large-scale investments, but it is still not free from deep concerns regarding domestic and overseas investments.

Recently, Bloomberg News of the United States reported that Samsung Electronics is considering investing $10 billion to build a semiconductor plant in Texas.

The Wall Street Journal also said that Samsung Electronics is considering large-scale investments in Arizona, Texas or New York.

As Joe Biden’s administration, which promoted the’reconstruction of the US manufacturing industry’, is attracting attention, the success of this investment is attracting attention, but Samsung’s position has not yet been decided.

The specific direction of investment for the P3 line in Pyeongtaek, which is expected to cost 30 trillion won, is also being delayed.

Vice Chairman Lee’s’outdoor management’ is expected to be difficult to make timely investment decisions as interviews and information grasp are inevitably limited.

Unlike Hyundai Motor Company, SK, LG Group, etc., Samsung Electronics has not been able to come up with a single merger or acquisition, which is like this since the acquisition of Harman in 2016, just before the arrest of Vice Chairman Lee.
