Samsung Electronics said Tuesday that it is planning to invest some 240 trillion won ($206 billion) in the next three years in both its key chip-making industry and other growth areas such as robotics.
三星电子(Samsung Electronics)周二表示，计划在未来三年向其关键的芯片制造行业和机器人等其他增长领域投资约240万亿韩元(合2060亿美元)。
Korea's largest conglomerate didn't provide a breakdown of its future investment figures but said that new areas of interest, beside robotics, include biopharmaceuticals or artificial intelligence.
这家韩国最大的企业集团没有提供未来投资数字的细目，但表示，除了机器人技术之外，新的感兴趣领域还包括生物制药或人工智能。
The group said it was notably planning to expand through mergers and acquisitions, adding that this "aggressive investment" was a "survival strategy."
该集团表示，它正计划通过并购进行扩张，并补充说，这种“激进的投资”是一种“生存战略”。
"Once we lose our competitiveness, it is almost impossible to make a comeback," the group said in its statement.
该集团在声明中称：“一旦我们失去竞争力，就几乎不可能卷土重来。”
The investment is 30% larger than the previous three-year plan announced in 2018. The company had been waiting for Lee's release to deploy its $82 billion cash pile.
这项投资比2018年宣布的上一个三年计划增加了30%。该公司一直在等待李开复获释，以部署其820亿美元的现金储备。
The expected investment strategy came sooner than thought, and the company's stock price rose 3% Tuesday. It is unclear whether Samsung's $17 billion project to build a chip factory in the U.S. is included in this plan.
预期中的投资策略来得比预想的要早，该公司股价周二大涨3%。目前尚不清楚三星耗资170亿美元在美国建设芯片工厂的项目是否包括在这一计划中。
