Left? Foxconn relocated 400,000 jobs overseas
In 2010, Shenzhen factory"Ten jumps"The incident pushed Foxconn to the forefront of the storm, and people accused Foxconn of being inhumane"Exploitation of factories"。However, in stark contrast to this, when Terry Gou said to **"Consider relocating the Foxconn factory inland"At that time, countless mainland people waited in line with various preferential conditions, just to have the opportunity to meet Guo Taiming.
Because for every place, Terry Gou is an amazing one"God of Wealth"As long as it can attract Foxconn to build factories, it means the growth of local employment, GDP and tax revenue. However, this model has also been given to Gou"Black-box operation"space, even made Terry Gou born"Go to the mainland to treat and eat"illusions.
Over the past decade, Foxconn has absorbed the dividends of the mainland's population and politics. But with the outbreak of the Sino-US technology war, Foxconn chose to side with the United States. On the one hand, Huawei was sanctioned by the United States at that time, which directly cut off Huawei's mobile phone foundry**; On the other hand, Apple is also very worried about coming from its own China"Reciprocal countermeasures"After all, Apple's largest production capacity is in Chinese mainland, once the mainland requires a ban on the production of Apple mobile phones, then the market value of the technology giant's 3 trillion yuan will collapse instantly!
So Apple chose to take Foxconn with it"Night Run"To India to take root, and Apple as Foxconn"Daddy of the Golden Lord"Nature can't refuse. With Foxconn's various dividends in the mainland, it is impossible that it does not want to leave. In October 2023, the tax bureau conducted inspections of Foxconn's companies in Guangdong, Jiangsu and other places in accordance with the law, and Foxconn's natural resources bureaus in Henan and Hubei launched land violation investigations. Although Foxconn was fined 20,000 yuan, it believed that it was just a warning. If Guo Taiming does not repent, I am afraid that the punishment will be billions of yuan!
Unexpectedly, this directly angered Guo Taiming, who was not completely installed! Subsequently, Guo Taiming accelerated the transfer of production capacity, and the number of Foxconn employees in mainland China has dropped from 1.2 million at the peak to 800,000. By 2024, the production capacity of the Indian factory should account for more than 20% of Foxconn's total iPhone production capacity. In addition, Foxconn also said that in 2024, 17 NPI (new product introduction, can be understood as experimental engineering production) of the iPhone should be completed in the Indian factory, and the NPI stage is a strong test of the technical strength of the foundry production, before the NPI of the iPhone was placed in Chinese mainland, this time this stage will be transferred to India, obviously Terry Gou does not want to go back.
In terms of investment, Terry Gou has gone completely insane. In November and December last year, Foxconn invested 10 billion yuan and 12 billion yuan to build factories in India. In January this year, Foxconn invested 37.2 million yuan again to build a semiconductor packaging and testing plant in a joint venture with an Indian company. According to the latest news, India's ** Modi will award one of India's most important national honors, the Order of the Lotus of the Second Class, to Foxconn CEO Liu Yangwei, which is specially awarded to those who have made important contributions to India. According to Indian reports, Liu Yangwei won the award for promoting Foxconn's construction of a foundry in India.
But in the final analysis, Foxconn is just a tool for India** and Apple, and Foxconn still can't get rid of the fate of being divided. In the distribution of iPhone 15 orders, Apple does not belong to Foxconn, but orders from Luxshare and Asus, just to prevent Foxconn from dominating the ** chain and letting the three foundries"Fight wits and courage"In the end, the apple fisherman profited.
But even so, Gou will not back down. I hope that the relevant authorities will carry out a complete liquidation of Foxconn. In the past decade, how many interests of the mainland have been taken away in violation of regulations? Throw them all away!
