Foxconn decided to relocate, and Terry Gou taught us a lesson!

Isn't it time to move? Foxconn made a major decision, and Terry Gou taught everyone a lesson!
In fact, Foxconn's relocation of factories to the mainland is nothing new. Foxconn.
Five or six years ago, it was ready to move its production base to the mainland, so that it could move the production contract production to India and Vietnam. At that time, Foxconn and people in the industry felt that because the profitability of mobile phone manufacturing was not high, coupled with the developed economy of the mainland, the labor force was ***, so Foxconn would choose to move the factory out of the mainland.
Is such a statement right? From the point of view of national development, the continuous flow of mainland laborers is indeed the main reason for Foxconn's relocation of factories. However, we must be clear that some time ago, the labor cost in the mainland was not high enough to force Foxconn to move out of Hong Kong.
Over the years, Foxconn has opened factories in India and Vietnam, but they are all small companies, and they have invested the most in India, with only more than 50,000 workers, while Foxconn Zhengzhou has 300,000 workers.
However, things have changed since last year. Foxconn has been releasing heavy news over the past year, and it has invested tens of billions of dollars in a factory in India to expand its production capacity. At the same time, Foxconn in Shenzhen, as well as its employees, have announced several of their production lines and moved them to India and Vietnam. Due to labor reasons, labor costs did not rise last year, but due to the slowdown in growth in the past three years, labor costs are also **, but why did Foxconn accelerate the pace of withdrawal?
The main reason why Foxconn is speeding up the withdrawal is not just because of the cost. Industry insiders said that the reason why Foxconn accelerated its withdrawal from Foxconn was partly because of the various changes that the company has experienced in the past three years, which has made Guo Taiming have a sense of crisis. On the other hand, the overall situation has changed, especially the increasingly tense relations between China and Japan, prompting Guo to speed up his withdrawal.
On January 18, Foxconn announced that it would form a new joint venture with India's HCL, mainly engaged in chip packaging and testing in India. Foxconn's technical content is definitely not as good as our mobile phones, and besides, India's human resources are far inferior to Huaxia, so why can't it be produced with Huaxia's company? Obviously, this cannot be summed up in terms of a simple cost factor.
Terry Gou really taught us a lot this time! In the past two years, the economic situation in our country has changed a lot. The most important thing for foreign capital is stability, and foreign investors should be cautious even if they want to invest here. Why has the market been so sluggish lately? To put it bluntly, I just don't have enough self-confidence.
Foxconn's rapid retreat, I think a lesson. If we do not follow the original route, all the previous achievements will become history, and the current achievements will be beaten back to their original shape.
The Chinese people are actually very diligent and intelligent. If the conditions are good, you can do it yourself, but the problem is that you can't make concessions. What does the Committee think?
