After the heavy rain, the situation of employees in the Foxconn factory in Zhengzhou was not optimistic. This is Foxconn’s largest park and the world’s largest Apple mobile phone production base.
According to public information, Foxconn Technology Group has three factory areas in Zhengzhou, namely Zhengzhou Airport Factory, Economic and Technological Development Zone Factory, and Zhongmu County Factory. According to AI Finance and Economics, the factory area in Zhongmu County, closest to Zhengzhou city, was the most severely affected. Starting from 6:00 on July 20, the park has been suspended.
Factory people and family members told AI Finance and Economics that starting from the evening of the 20th, several employees in the factory in Zhongmu County, Zhengzhou were trapped in the employee dormitory, heavy rain flooded the first floor, water and power outages, and some people had not eaten for nearly two days. On the morning of the 22nd, several rescue workers and the production line leader of the factory led some colleagues to the scene for rescue. At 9 a.m., the water accumulates as high as a person's chest. By noon, the water recedes to the waist. The on-site video provided by the interviewees showed that some employees have been rescued one after another and transported to a safe location through forklifts.

Due to the signal interruption, I have been missing for two days.
