Since the supply of Huawei chips was cut off, Apple has opened the era of "lying to win", becoming the new hegemon of the mobile phone industry, its market share in the mainland from the original 8%, all the way to "soar" to 20%, not long ago Cook just announced that China has become the largest market for iPhone, a piece of news has caused heated discussions.
The 2023 global smart shipment ranking was released, and Apple ranked 20With a market share of 1%, Samsung was surpassed by Apple for the first time, with 19The market share of 4% ranks second.
You know, global smartphone shipments in 2023 will decrease by 3 compared to 20228%, Samsung, Xiaomi, OPPO and other manufacturers have reduced shipments, but Apple has achieved shipment growth in the case of the continued sluggishness of the terminal electronics market, and crowned the king of global smartphones, Apple's strong strength is undoubted.
For example, Marvel, an American chip company that has announced the elimination of its technical team and R&D department in China, has almost all of its projects involving advanced chips in China been shelved, so Apple decided to explore the Indian market in order to seek cheaper labor and more potential iPhone market.
As Apple's "royal foundry", Foxconn officially stated that he would follow Apple south, planning to transfer $300 billion of production capacity to India in the next three years, and said that he would expand the scale of the Indian factory to more than 70,000 people.
It can be seen that Terry Gou wants to take away the "pot" of the mainland and expand the scale of the factory in India, which will inevitably reduce the scale of its factory in the mainland, so that a large number of Foxconn employees will lose their jobs.
According to people familiar with the matter, with the further implementation of Foxconn's "capacity transfer plan", a number of factories in mainland China have been closed, and the size of its employees has increased from 1.2 million** to 800,000, which means that nearly 400,000 workers have been redefined as unemployed, and the impact is not optimistic.
As the incident continues to ferment,Foxconn went to India to build a factory and various arrogant remarks attracted the attention of relevant institutions in China, and after investigation, it was found that the Foxconn had the problem of false tax calculation, and has now been fined 20,000 yuan.
However, netizens did not buy this punishment, and said that it was too light, as Foxconn, which has an annual revenue of more than one trillion yuan, the penalty of 20,000 yuan is "as light as a feather", in fact, it is not the case, this punishment can be regarded as a warning, if Foxconn does not listen to persuasion, continue to transfer production capacity, or face more serious punishment.
But it backfired, Guo Taiming was "put together" by Cook, thinking that he could get more orders with him going south, but he was "marginalized" by Apple, cutting 27% of Foxconn's orders and handing them over to Luxshare Precision and Pegatron Technology.
What's even more heartbreaking for Foxconn is,Apple has asked Foxconn to increase the production capacity of its Indian factories to 20%-25% by 2024, but then more workers will be laid off on the mainland.
If the closure of mainland factories and large-scale layoffs continue, it will inevitably attract the attention of relevant departments, but in order to win more orders from Apple, this time Guo Taiming finally began to "fight back."
It is reported that Foxconn officially announced the adjustment of employees' working hours and strictly implemented the two-day and 8-hour work system. However, Foxconn's production tasks are large-scale and large-scale, and if the working time is reduced, the number of orders delivered will be affected, which is equivalent to indirectly reducing production capacity; For frontline workers, not being able to work overtime means that they can only get a guaranteed wage, or that most production workers leave their jobs due to problems such as low pay, so as to achieve the purpose of layoffs.
By then, the number of Foxconn employees who have been laid off or voluntarily left will exceed 400,000, so what will happen to these workers?
