Foxconn focuses on the mainland market, and foreign media Terry Gou reveals his true face
The company that will make the most money in the technology field is undoubtedly Apple, because after Cook took over Apple, his wise vision and insight into the market began to lead Apple"Profits soared", its market capitalization once exceeded $3 trillion, becoming the world's most valuable technology company and the hegemon in the field of smartphones!The first of the hegemons, especially in the Chinese market, domestic mobile phones are crushed!
But what Cook never expected was that Huawei's mobile phone rose strongly with the penultimate posture in the country. Especially after Huawei launched its self-developed Kirin 9000 chip and took the lead in releasing 5G technology, Apple's market share in China was once squeezed, falling to 8%, and it was beaten to the ground by Huawei!
However, Huawei's rise in the field of 5G technology and semiconductor chips touched the core interests of the United States in the field of science and technology, so it wanted to invent a way to deal with Japanese semiconductors in the 80s of the last century to deal with Huawei. After several rounds of sanctions and suppression on Huawei, Huawei's Kirin chip has completely zeroed, and the mobile phone business has plummeted
After witnessing what happened to Huawei, Apple sought to avoid sanctions from China as the competition between China and the United States in the technology sector intensified. In the past two years, Cook has accelerated its withdrawal from the mainland market, transferred production capacity on a large scale, and adjusted the first chain. To this end, he expelled many Chinese businessmen from the chain, along with Foxconn and so on"Imperial Factory"They have gone to Southeast Asia, India and other regions to invest and build factories, and Cook's move can be described as this"Cunning"。
According to statistics, under the influence of Apple, 14 Chinese companies have invested heavily in Vietnam, India and other countries to build factories and open up markets. Even self-proclaimed"Foxconn went to the mainland to eat"Terry Gou is also ready to be"Rice bowls"On the end, not only invested billions of dollars to build a factory in India, but also announced that 300 billion production capacity would be transferred to India within three years
However, Gou led Foxconn to follow Apple, betting on the future in India, being marginalized by Apple. It is worth noting that in Cook"Eggs cannot be placed in one basket"Under the influence of ideas, Apple has ceased to hand over all orders to Foxconn in recent years, but has gradually cultivated new foundries, such as Lucent Precision, which has made Foxconn deeply impressed"Apple dependence"Suffering. Foxconn is under tremendous pressure.
In addition, in recent years, Foxconn's investment in India has not achieved the expected results, although the cost of building a factory in India is low, the labor cost is low, but the overall quality of employees, production efficiency and vital technical level are also low, and there is no comparison with the mainland.
Faced with such a cruel status quo, Foxconn suddenly announced an important decision some time ago, that is, to build in Zhengzhou"New Foxconn"。According to **, Foxconn's new headquarters has been inaugurated on April 25, and it is worth mentioning that Foxconn's new headquarters is dedicated to artificial intelligence, new era communications and semiconductor industries.
You must know that artificial intelligence, semiconductors and new-age communications are the focus of current scientific and technological development, and they are also the trend of future scientific and technological development. Foxconn will retain production capacity in these three areas in the mainland, which means that Foxconn will not transfer advanced technology and core production capacity to India, and will continue to focus on the mainland market in the future.
Foxconn made this important decision to get Foxconn out of the mainland market"Rumors"In a very positive sense!Recently, news of Foxconn closing its factories in the mainland, laying off employees in the mainland, and withdrawing from the mainland market has been coming out. Foxconn suddenly announced a major decision, and some American ** said: Guo Taiming is actually not his own person!
It should be noted that Foxconn has taken root in the mainland market for many years and has provided millions of jobs for the mainland. Foxconn's actual withdrawal from the mainland market will inevitably lead to a large number of people losing their jobs and will also have some social impacts, which the United States is happy to see.
However, even if Foxconn is a major producer and technology player in the mainland market in the new era, we should not have too many illusions about it, which may be what Foxconn did to maintain the mainland market after its investment and construction in India were blocked"A delaying tactic"In the future, once the factories in India and Southeast Asia develop better, Foxconn will continue to follow Apple out of the mainland market. In addition, Terry Gou has issued it publicly more than once"In the past few years, he has been enjoying food in the mainland"of contempt for the mainland market rhetoric, and made"Eat and smash the pot"The behaviors are countless!
Regardless of whether Foxconn is leaving or continuing to focus on the mainland market, we should not forget the admonition to reduce dependence on foreign companies such as Apple. In fact, in the current situation of increasingly fierce competition in the field of science and technology, as long as we insist on independent research and development and increase our own OEM support, we can truly get rid of our dependence on foreign companies, take the initiative in our own hands, and do not be afraid of anything"Stuck neck"behavior, and don't worry about the departure of any business!What are your thoughts on this?
