In the 80s of the last century,FoxconnIt's not well known, it's just a small workshop with a small name. However, since entering Shenzhen,FoxconnBegan this hurricane journey, quickly rising to become the world's largest electronicsOEMManufacturers. Despite the superficial appearance,FoxconnThe rise seems to be withApplesiphoneThe order is inextricably linked, but to be understoodFoxconnThe reason why it can be obtainedApplesThe reason for the favor cannot be ignored by China's supportive policies and the supply of cheap labor. These two factors are:Foxconnsuccess has laid a solid foundation.
According to statistics,FoxconnIt has about 1 million employees in China, most of whom are low-skilled workers. This makesFoxconnAble to work at a relatively low cost of laborApplesand other international brands offerOEMServe. In addition, China ** in order to supportFoxconnand other enterprises, and implemented a series of policies conducive to foreign-funded enterprises. Among them, the most important is to provide foreign enterprises with vast land resources and preferential tax policies. These policies were introduced as:FoxconnThe development has opened up a broader space.
However,Foxconndevelopment does not depend solely on cheap labor and policy support. In order to compete in the international market,FoxconnActively improve their own technical level and production capacity. It continues to introduce advanced equipment and technology, increase R&D investment, and continuously improve product quality and productionEfficiency。Especially in the field of electronics manufacturing,FoxconnIt has always maintained a leading position in technology and production. This makesFoxconnIt has become a global electronic productOEMA leader in the industry.
It is worth mentioningFoxconnThe rise is not only good for China, but also for the worldEconomyhas had a positive impact. As the world's largest electronOEMEnterprise,FoxconnIt has provided a large number of employment opportunities and has led to growth in China and other developing countriesEconomyIncrease. At the same time, it also promotes electronics worldwideIndustrial chainThe development and improvement have promoted the innovation and upgrading of products. It can be said thatFoxconnThe development has brought unlimited business opportunities and development space to the world.
In international competition,FoxconnIts success is not accidental, but is based on its ability to accurately grasp market needs, flexibly adjust its strategy and continue to innovate. Only by constantly adapting to market changes and improving their competitiveness can enterprises remain invincible in the fierce competition.
AlthoughFoxconnGloballyOEMoccupies an important position in the industry, butTerry GouThere is an overconfidence and arrogant attitude towards this. He openly stated that the past years wereFoxconnIn feeding China, they have the ability to pull production capacity out of the country overnight as long as China is not friendly to them. This kind of rhetoric will undoubtedly beFoxconnShaped into the image of a "savior".
However, the national side is for:Terry GouThe arrogant attitude is not tolerated. FaceFoxconnMigration of production capacity andTerry GouWith regard to the public stance on the issue of cross-strait reunification, a number of departments have jointly set up an investigation teamFoxconnAn in-depth investigation was carried out on issues such as taxation and the use of commercial land.
Not as expected,Terry GouHe is still arrogant in the face of investigation. Hon Hai Group even issued a public statement claiming that the state's investigation would not only affectFoxconnbusiness development, but also on the localEconomyIt caused a heavy blow and caused a large number of employees to lose their jobs. Such statements inevitably smack of threat.
The national side for:FoxconnThe results of the survey also indicate attitudes. According to the announcement of the tax office, for:Foxconnwill be fined 20,000 yuan and ordered to rectify. Although some people expressed surprise at this result, believing that the amount of the fine was too low to be insignificant, in reality, the fine was not the only purpose of the sanctions. It's more important to do so in this wayFoxconnPressure them to correct their mistakes and warn other companies not to violate the bottom line.
In addition, according to the message of **,ApplesThe company began to drift apartFoxconniphoneSince the release of the 15 series of mobile phones, they have been criticized due to quality problemsApplesSales were down 15% year-over-year. In this context,ApplesCEO Tim Cook has publicly stated that these problems are mainly due to:ApplesProduced in the Chinese marketiphone15 There are problems with the quality of the phone, which inevitably givesFoxconnBuckled the hat of "rotten pot". Therefore,FoxconnWe had to find new ways and strategies to deal with the crisis.
Under the double whammy of facing state investigations and the rise of competitors,FoxconnThe situation became awkward and difficult. In response to the current situation,FoxconnActively looking for new markets and development opportunities.
On the one hand,FoxconnThe decision followedApplesThe footsteps of the company went to India to build a factory. However, India's hydropower infrastructure is underdeveloped and the quality of its staff is relatively low, which makes it possibleFoxconnIn India, there is a capacity to deal withEfficiencyand the problem of deterioration in product quality. Even though Modi** promised to provide subsidies for building factories, the actual implementation effect is not satisfactory.
On the other hand, in the Chinese market,FoxconnFaced from domesticOEMMaker BYD,LuxsharePrecision and other competitions, as wellApplesIn the case of active order sharing. At the moment,FoxconnofOEMIts hegemony is no longer secure, so it must recognize the reality that it is ChinaOEMThe identity of the business. If we continue to stick to the business strategy of the past, we will be eliminated by the Chinese market sooner or later.
InMade in ChinaThe industry is accelerating the transformation to the high-end backgroundOEMThe model is not a long-term solution. China has a huge market size and potential, as well as a growing oneTechnologyThe ability to innovate is being acceleratedEconomyTransition from low value-added to high value-added. Therefore,FoxconnWe should actively transform and upgrade, improve the technical level and independent innovation ability, and move to the high-endIndustrial chainForward.
Finally,FoxconnThe predicament is also a wake-up call for other businesses. Enterprises must recognize the importance of the mainland market, respect national policies and laws, and do a good job of compliance management in order to develop in the Chinese market for a long time. Historically, there have been many companies that have paid a heavy price for despising the Chinese market, I believeFoxconnProfound lessons will also be learned.
In short,FoxconnThe rise and development of the country is inseparable from the support of national policies and cheap labor, but enterprises should also be aware of their position in the Chinese market, and actively transform and upgrade, improve added value and competitiveness, in order to cope with market changes and challenges.
