I believe everyone has heard of Apple ’s largest OEM , Foxconn , is going to build a car.
was on October 18, the technology day of Hon Hai Company (Foxconn’s parent company), which is the birthday of their boss Guo Taiming . . .
Foxconn released three cars in one go, namely hatchback Model B, electric pickup Model V, and Model C mass-produced version.
and bad reviews celebrate their birthdays. They can only ride on the shake car that can be used as coin . Foxconn boss Terry Gou directly got on the car he built.
can be said to be full of arrangements.
If you add the luxury sedan Model E and electric bus Model T released last year.
In just one year, Foxconn has actually covered various models and has directly produced five new cars for everyone.
No wonder Gou came to Versailles: Experience your own tram is already one of the most anticipated birthday activities I have every year.
But to be honest, when you look at the names of these Foxconn cars, Model, and The smell of " Tesla " is quite exciting.
So the bad reviewer was also speculating at the beginning that Foxconn might just want to take advantage of the trend, just like some companies. . .
Then I randomly get out a few prototype cars, and then release news of the upcoming mass production from time to time, raise the stock price, and then cash out and leave.
But after checking some information, I found that the situation of the bad reviewer is really a little smaller, because Foxconn is not simply trying to "get rid of" Tesla.
On the technology day a few days ago, the chairman of Foxconn said that they actually want to continue their old careers in the field of electric vehicles.
means assemble and manufacture for trams, and I hope to manufacture for Tesla in the future. . .
However, the problem is also here. It is said that different industries are like different mountains. You are a Foxconn factory that is famous for assembling mobile phones. Why should car companies ask you for cooperation?
Even Musk said similar sarcastic words in an interview with the German Business Daily: "Compared with mobile phones and smart watches , cars are very complicated. You can't go to a supplier like Foxconn and say, build a car for me."
, however, it is different from Musk's disdain for Foxconn OEM trams.
Foxconn founder Terry Gou, "putting" a master with his hands in his pockets, and said: Cars are just four-wheeled iPhone. Since we can build iPhones, why can't we build electric cars?
So in recent years, the name of and other cars are not very important. The important thing is to show off your muscles.
This is how to tell car companies all over the world: I, Foxconn, have the ability to build trams, and the tram OEM model is feasible! Come and cooperate with me quickly!
And while Musk and Terry Gou each had their own opinions, the bad reviewer also checked some information and was going to talk to everyone about Foxconn's OEM manufacturing.
First of all, the first question is that car manufacturers like Tesla will build their own factories, and NIO and Ideal will look for traditional car companies such as JAC and Lifan to manufacture.
In the car circle where there are many masters, who gave Foxconn the courage to enter the market?
What everyone may not know is that Foxconn did not temporarily decide to get involved in the trolley.
Foxconn began to deploy in the automotive industry, even earlier than many new car-making forces in China.
In 2005, they acquired Antai Electric, which is one of the four major automotive wiring harness manufacturers in Taiwan, China, and automobile companies such as Ford and Volkswagen are its customers.
In terms of automotive electronic devices , screens, panels, etc., Foxconn can make it by itself, and has also served as suppliers for car companies such as Tesla, Mercedes-Benz , BMW , etc., which is a traditional art.
It has also invested in new forces such as Xiaopeng and battery giants such as CATL . Even in chips, Foxconn has invested in , Malaysia's DNeX chip factory.
does not have much experience in building cars, but it can’t stand many friends, right? So, Foxconn has been casting a wide net in the car circle. The layout of
has long been the same thing, but the bad reviewer thinks that another important reason for Foxconn to enter the car manufacturing industry is that compared with traditional fuel vehicles, the manufacturing and production process of trams is relatively simple.
Because a fuel vehicle has about 30,000 parts, but electric vehicles only need about one-third of the fuel vehicle.
Among them, the three-electric systems of new energy vehicles are the three major systems, namely batteries, motors, and electronic control. There are many suppliers and integrated products on the market.
So, like other car companies, Foxconn feels that it is OK again, and even launched its own car manufacturing platform MIH.
It can help you arrange the difficult design of car body structure, electronic architecture, batteries and powertrains, and turn the work of car manufacturing into a doll.
Customers want to launch a new car, only need to pay attention to the car machine, appearance and other things above the chassis.
They also call this thing Android in the electric vehicle industry. . .
is manufactured for Apple, but it is ready to make Android in the tram industry. It is somewhat black humorous .
In addition, I feel that Foxconn still has a lot of resistance to building cars. One of the most important ones is that besides this MIH platform, it seems to be some statements (of course, we don’t know whether it is useful or not), and we don’t see other core technologies.
Today, there may be another wave of historical reappearance in the mobile phone OEM business.
, just look at Apple's OEMs. Because of the lack of core technology, Apple takes them like playing with mud.
, which once provided lenses for Apple, saw its net profit drop by 93% after being dumped. Many Yuanguochain companies went bankrupt after they were broken up.
Even Foxconn had negative net profits in the mobile phone OEM business last year. On the other hand, Apple's net profit was 25.8%. I don't need to say more about who is a working person.
So, Foxconn is so anxious to start a car manufacturing business, which is actually somewhat related to its current business situation.
As Apple's largest OEM factory, although it has a good reputation and stable revenue, it is not very profitable.
In the first half of this year, due to the epidemic, decline in smartphone sales, etc., Foxconn's mobile phone OEM business is even in a loss situation, with a net loss of more than 20 million US dollars.
But Foxconn is somewhat Apple dependent, with about 50% of its revenue related to Apple's OEM business. It can be said that the company's fate is tied to Apple.
And everyone understands Apple's attitude towards the supply chain, and it's a real scumbag.
In order to ensure the safety of the supply chain, it will continue to pull spare tires into the group and incoming each other. Among them, the OEM spare tire, , Luxshare Precision , snatched a lot of orders from Foxconn.
In order to treat Apple's dependence, it is definitely urgent to expand new businesses.
Moreover, Luxshare Precision has cooperated with Chery to enter the car manufacturing industry. It is reasonable that Foxconn, which has been in the automobile industry early on, announced its car manufacturing.
In the future, Foxconn's goal is to get 5% of the market share by around 2025, and its revenue target is about 30 billion yuan.
, the OEM overlord in the mobile and computer market, can create new flowers in the electric vehicle field? No bad reviews are known.
But it is certain that Foxconn will at least be more reliable than Jia Yueting .
