Looking back at the achievements of Henan's economy in the past decade, the rapid progress in the field of foreign trade can be regarded as one of the highlights. As an inland province that is not along the border and does not rely on the sea, Henan has ranked first in the central region for 10 consecutive years since 2012. Behind the real money report card, the role of Foxconn is obvious.
has entered Zhengzhou in 2010. This electronic technology company from Taiwan is a name that cannot be avoided on the road to opening up in Henan. Statistics show that at the end of last year, Foxconn Group's enterprises in Henan achieved an output value of of more than 4440 billion yuan, and increased by 30% year-on-year, accounting for about 60% of the province's total import and export volume.
htmlOn September 9, the production line of Foxconn Zhengzhou Science and Technology Park located in Xinzheng Comprehensive Bonded Zone was running at full capacity, and it was very busy. It is hard to imagine that this place was still a jujube forest in 2010. Wang Xue, deputy general manager of Foxconn Zhengzhou Science and Technology Park, was sent from Shenzhen park to participate in the construction. He remembered that the founder of the company, , Guo Taiming, took a photo with foreign merchants in a jujube forest and made a promise, "Come again next year, it will definitely be a series of modern workshops." In the end, the "Henan speed" shocked everyone - the Zhengzhou park took only 120 days from foundation laying to production.Wang Xue said that Henan has given enterprises a number of preferential policies, and has provided great assistance in building factories, recruiting workers, and building supporting facilities. He also set up a special working team to work on-site. The efficient work has made him see Henan's determination to open up.
Yan Huabing, director of the General Affairs Office of Zhengzhou Park, remembered that at that time, there were 120,000 workers in a short period of time, and the park operated by production, construction and entry. "The production lines on the second and third floors are still under construction, and the production on the first floor has begun, which is very lively."
has grown from loess jujube forest to factories. In 12 years, Foxconn Zhengzhou Science and Technology Park has grown rapidly with the help of Henan's preferential policies, location conditions and manpower advantages. It has developed from the initial two production lines to more than 100 production lines. It employs about 300,000 workers at peak hours, and has trained more than 3 million skilled industrial workers. It has become the world's largest intelligent automation terminal production base, and has driven the electronic information industry to gather in Zhengzhou through the "leader effect".
Foxconn's entry into Henan has also led a large number of Henan employees to return home. Zhang Xueli, director of the Industrial Safety Department of Zhengzhou Park, has 4 people in Zhoukou. He entered the Shenzhen Park in 2004. He was the first to sign up when he heard about the recruitment of Zhengzhou Park. At that time, one-fifth of Foxconn's employees in mainland China were from Henan. In order to encourage Henan employees to return home, Foxconn has launched a series of incentive policies, including unchanged salary and benefits, supporting talent housing, etc.
When he came to the park still under construction, walking on the bumpy mud road, Zhang Xueli was full of longing. In a blink of an eye, dreams have become reality. In his first year in Zhengzhou, Zhang Xueli brought his wife and children from his hometown. With hard work, he grew from a grassroots worker to a manager and had his own house and car. He also witnessed the changes in the surrounding areas with his own eyes, industries gathered rapidly, tall buildings rose from the ground, transportation and road networks were well connected, and blue sky and white clouds were increasing.
is in the same frequency as the times, and Foxconn is also constantly transforming and moving towards intelligence through technological empowerment. Zhang Gang, deputy general manager of Zhengzhou Park, introduced that the current proportion of full process automation imports in the park is 40%, and the automation level of many module production workshops reaches 95%, all of which have achieved digital and systematic management. Last year, Zhengzhou Park obtained the WEF "Lighthouse Factory" certification, becoming a global Industrial 4.0 and digital manufacturing demonstration enterprise, and is also the first selected enterprise in Henan.
Since the beginning of Zhongyuan , Foxconn has been dependent on this land. During the epidemic prevention and control period, enterprises were unable to recruit workers, and the government created a green channel and mobilized 100 buses to pick up and drop off job seekers on a "point-to-point" basis; after the heavy rainstorm in Zhengzhou on July 20, Foxconn immediately unearthed and donated 100 million yuan.
Those who have aspirations should not regard mountains and seas as far away. The hand-in-hand between Foxconn and Henan can be described as a two-way journey of mutual success. Today, Foxconn's territory in Henan continues to expand. In addition to Zhengzhou, Foxconn has also established Foxconn parks one after another. Wang Xue and her colleagues are full of expectations for the future, and they all agreed: "Let's witness the next glorious decade together."
