During the Sino-US technology game, it is no secret that Apple intends to move the industrial chain out of the Chinese market. In order to implement Apple's eastward migration plan, Foxconn , as the "monetary factory", is the first, investing heavily in India and Southeast Asia respectively.
In response to this, some netizens joked: Foxconn forgot its roots and made enough money in the domestic market. He patted his butt and left, regardless of the potential unemployment wave that may be brought about after leaving.
The jokes of netizens were understandable, but Termine Gou publicly made a "correction" about this, saying: It is not the Chinese market that made Foxconn successful, but Foxconn is giving food to the mainland.
It is undeniable that Foxconn has indeed brought many jobs to the domestic market, but if we understand that the Chinese market cannot do without it, it is obviously a bit overestimated.
For these foundries, the reason why they chose to move eastward to India and other places was mainly because they were attracted by the cheaper labor and material costs there, and they tried to reshape their glory in the domestic market ten years ago.
However, what Guo Taiming didn't expect was that the slap in the face would come so quickly.
Foxconn's failure to build a factory in the United States may be said to be the reason for the cost, and its difficulty in Southeast Asia further proves that the reason why it has risen smoothly before was because it was backed by the huge Chinese market and left us, Foxconn was nothing. What makes
more satisfying is that after being defeated abroad, Foxconn has now increased its layout in the domestic market. However, domestic workers have responded mediocrely, and even triggered a large number of "resignations". This may be related to the decline in production capacity of by Apple due to chip supply issues, but it is definitely inseparable from Terry Gou's once "insulted" words.
Although Foxconn repeatedly denied the so-called "resignation wave", the following three points are enough to confirm the authenticity of this problem.
First of all, from last year to the present, Apple's global sales have dropped significantly due to the impact of the epidemic, and Foxconn is too dependent on Apple, so its production capacity will inevitably decline year-on-year.
does not have enough orders, which is a consumption for Foxconn itself and its employees. What's more, with the current consumption level in the domestic market, employees are receiving a basic salary of about 3,000 at Foxconn, which is not enough for the expenses at all. How could those aspiring young people not choose to resign?
Secondly, Foxconn's multiple departures in recent years have enabled the rise of the domestic manufacturing industry, such as BYD , Precision Luxshare, etc.
In comparison, domestic OEM companies that have emerged in recent years have better understanding of the domestic market trend. Whether it is salary or work model, they are now more popular than Foxconn.
, and still knows the mistake, Terry Gou and Foxconn still treat workers in the previous arrogant attitude and use the "sweatshop" model. Who would stay here wholeheartedly and continue to work? Newcomers can't be kept, and the elderly want to change jobs, and the resignation storm is inevitable.
Finally, under the trend of domestic substitution, many Chinese people have some grudges about American products and American companies, including the grassroots workers, who are also full of national crisis.
When the United States suppressed domestic technology companies without bottom line, these employees understood in their hearts that helping American companies such as Apple make money at Foxconn will only increase the confidence of the United States to continue to block us in technology. On the contrary, joining a domestic manufacturing company will not only have higher wages and more comfortable work, but will also help the development of the country. Why not do it?
Overall, it is difficult for Foxconn to return. If you do not reflect and change, it will be difficult to reproduce its former glory in the domestic market, because it is not that the Chinese market cannot do without it, but that it cannot do without us. If your attitude is not correct, it will be abandoned by the domestic market sooner or later.
