Cook officially declared that it is legitimate to cooperate with Made in China and abandon Made in India
Mr. Gu, all the meetings in the world are reunions after a long absence.
After the news that Apple has completed its decoupling from China frequently broke out in international channels, no one thought that the figure of Apple CEO Cook could still appear in China, in the store in Sanlitun, and in the factory of Luxshare Precision, wandering a little leisurely.
And he also officially declared: Apple cannot leave the Chinese market in order to profit from Chinese production!
As soon as Cook's statement came out, it directly made everyone angry.
Everyone looks at it, desperately moving the factory to India and decoupling China from you.
As a result, it is still you Cook who claims not to decouple from China, so what do you want to do Cook?
Why is the Chinese market Cook's achievement?
All over the world right"Chain Master"Although there is no technological innovation from Apple's former boss Steve Jobs, Cook claims to be very good at chain management and brand building.
It is under his leadership that even the products are every year"Toothpaste-style"But Apple is still the first humanistic story of the $3 billion giant, which is inseparable from the Chinese consumer spending money on him.
It can even be said that China is Cook's"Big Brother List"！The fall of Apple, perhaps, depends on us!
In the past two years, China has surpassed the United States to become Apple's largest consumer market, and even in the second quarter of this year, the main region where Apple's sales declined, the United States consumers did not buy it, also fell by 56%。
Only Greater China grew against the winds and became the absolute pillar, with an increase of 79%, so Cook's tears, Weibo's gratitude for Chinese consumers did not continue.
Apple ** chain"De-sinicization"Why?
But we can only say that in the eyes of this group of capitalists, the consumer side is the consumer side, the production line is the production line, for the consumer side, the Chinese are rich masters, and for the production line, Chinese workers are treated by Apple and Foxconn"Grandson"Target.
Apple and its foundry, Foxconn, have worked tirelessly to dig into the corners of China, abandoning China's 300 billion yuan of foundry capacity and turning to India, where a quarter of its production lines are expected to be made by 2025.
At present, Chinese mainland manufacturers still account for 26% of Apple's ** chain, but the value is only 2%.
The low-value production chain will gradually be transferred to India, and the first-value production chain will be left to the United States"own people"and South Korea's ** businessmen.
In this case, Apple's top management has many considerations, including objective factors such as rising labor costs in China.
There is also a strong subjective factor, that is, the Biden team continues to clamor for decoupling and breaking the chain with China, and at the same time, the United States has been trying to vigorously support India and suppress China, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi may be close to Biden and call him brothers!
I can't go to India, I want to benefit from Chinese production.
In this context, Cook believes that with India's young labor force, as well as India's strong support for manufacturing, as well as the expectations of the United States, India will definitely be able to surpass China and become the next world factory. Therefore, even if everyone thinks about it and sees the old saying thrown out of their minds, it is a good thing to directly dissociate themselves from China.
But the results have been seen, Foxconn, Wistron, Pegatron and other Apple factories have built factories in India, all of them are disgraced, sorry!
According to foreign media reports, the iPhone15 produced by the Indian factory has only a 50% pass rate under the quality inspection of Apple's internal quality inspectors.
Perhaps Cook also regretted this, so he came to China, Cook believes that instead of spending a lot of time and resources on trial and error in the Indian market, it is better to continue to deepen cooperation with China.
Translated, what is a win-win situation with Made in China?
Cook's wonderful performance was sincere and touching, but Chinese netizens didn't buy it: Translation Translation Translation?What is called Apple and Made in China"Win-win"？Actually, there is no or just think with"Chinese market"Win-win
Insiders speak and hit the nail on the head.
Apple shifted its production chain to the United States and India in order to make more money (make money) abroad, and Cook is now coming to China to shout"Win-win"In fact, the decoupling has not stopped, just to fool Chinese consumers, or to make money!
This is a huge contradiction, and Western technology giant groups do not dare to easily lose the Chinese market in front of the Chinese people.
After all, China is the world's largest trading market for technology products, ASML and Intel have all felt the same way, and Apple has made Greater China a major pillar of its performance.
What can be confirmed is that in the future, Cook's mouth will be more in line with the appetite of Chinese consumers, because of his weakness, he will never stop taking the bait!
How to break the game?China just needs to be itself.
Apple's growth has benefited from technological innovation, but now the shield has become rotten wood, the sword has become a blunt knife, and Cook can only stand in front of China and play tricks in order to make money.
In the face of the smoke bomb above the head in Cook's mouth, Apple's inexhaustible discord meter, how should China break this game of chess?We need to do our best and pick up what Apple has thrown away: innovation.
Using scientific and technological innovation to revitalize our national industrial chain, Huawei and other local technology companies work together with our foundries and Chinese workers to achieve a real win-win situation.
