    SK Chairman Has 'Much, Much Bigger' US Investment Plan

    The people, companies and trends shaping the global economy. Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF. SK Hynix Inc. is considering new ways of selling access to its memory chips, including a concept called “memory as a service,” suggesting customers could rent usage from the South Korean company rather than purchasing the actual semiconductors. “We could actually deliver some other business models,” SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won said in an interview with Bloomberg Television. “We could be memory servicers, memory as a service. In the future, that is another area where we could actually focus.” Chey, whose company controls SK Hynix, made the comments after the South Korean chipmaker raised $26.5 billion with its American depositary receipt offering, the largest ever US first-time share sale by a foreign company. SK Hynix’s ADRs opened about 14% above their offering price. Chey didn’t specify exactly how such a business model would work and said new software would be needed to enable it. But tech companies have run “software as a service” businesses and other variations in which clients can pay usage fees to access software or computing power rather than buy it outright. Chey said the goal of such a new service would be to solve the bottleneck of memory capacity.
