From the satellite, this Zhengzhou Foxconn, which covers an area of more than 1.48 million square meters and is equivalent to 160 standard football fields is not eye-catching. If you use another data, 300,000 employees, 2 million permanent residents, and an annual output of billions of Apple phones, you will be surprised to find that the invisible economy brought by Zhengzhou Airport Foxconn is of indescribable importance to Henan. Since its first production line was put into production on August 2, 2012, it has also attracted more than a dozen smartphone production bases such as Coolpad and Tianyu to settle down.
In just five years since its inception, Foxconn is subtly changing a major agricultural and population province like Henan with a level of less than 45%. The employment problem of Henan migrant workers of about 300,000 has been solved. Through the baptism of local urbanization and modern assembly lines, they have promoted Henan to advance towards urbanization and industrialization. Henan, which originally had only US$100 billion in total foreign trade value, has doubled several times since the arrival of Foxconn, and has ranked first in , the six central provinces, , both in terms of total value and growth rate.
However, there has always been controversy over the high binding between Henan and Foxconn.
After Foxconn settled in, it not only refreshed Henan's foreign trade data, but also drove the follow-up layout of surrounding supporting industries and related industries. More than a dozen smartphone production bases including Coolpad and Tianyu are now living next to Foxconn. According to Henan Daily, if all the production lines of these mobile phone manufacturers are put into production, and with the existing production capacity, the annual production capacity of smartphones in Zhengzhou Airport Port Area will reach more than 300 million units, and a global smartphone production base is about to emerge. "These were unimaginable in the past." Foxconn's implementation not only gave Henan a springboard for development in the electronic information industry, but also accelerated Henan's urbanization and industrialization level. "In the past, most migrant workers in Henan went to the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta to work, but Foxconn only absorbed more than 300,000 migrant workers from Henan in Zhengzhou's factory area. Through the baptism of industrialization at Foxconn, they completed the transformation from traditional farmers to modern workers, and also helped Henan to go from agricultural society to industry. Social transition. "
" It is difficult to quantify the on-site urbanization of migrant workers. But the benefits of Zhengzhou Airport Port Area from Foxconn are very obvious." Professor of Henan University of Finance and Economics and Law Shi Pu said that many officials told him that Foxconn's implementation directly helped Zhengzhou Airport Port District be approved as the first comprehensive pilot zone of airport economy in the country. "We now have 26 international cargo routes, ranking first in the inland region of China." A relevant person in charge of Zhengzhou Airport Port Area introduced that Zhengzhou Airport Port Area currently has airlines such as UPS, Russian Air Bridge, China Southern Airlines, Cathay Pacific , and China Eastern Airlines. It is also the second largest hub airport for Luxembourg Airlines in the world. "
" But since Henan began to introduce Foxconn, the controversy has never stopped. "A Henan scholar who has been paying attention to the dependence relationship between Foxconn and Henan for a long time said that due to the long-term insufficient cultivation of local enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises, and the poor supporting policy environment for economic development, the "endogenic" growth and expansion of Henan's economy is seriously insufficient, so he had to improve investment efficiency and promote investment effectiveness through the methods of "recruiting big businessmen" and "one enterprise, one policy", which gave rise to the improvement of Henan's economic level.
"This also forces Henan to exchange resources, environment, concessions, etc. for investment. "This scholar roughly estimates the "investment costs" of Henan governments at all levels to attract Foxconn - preferential treatment in government investment, land and taxes, etc., which are about 12 billion to 15 billion yuan.
These are not enough to reduce Henan's enthusiasm for Foxconn. "Foxconn has not only landed in Zhengzhou, but it currently has factories in 8 prefecture-level cities in Henan. " Gu Jianquan introduced that these Foxconn factories located in cities such as Jiyuan , Shangqiu and Kaifeng are mostly supporting enterprises of Foxconn in Zhengzhou, and are all in a complete division of labor and cooperation system.
Foxconn "sneeze". Is Henan Province's economy immediately "catching a cold" as previously reported by the media?
