Just as Foxconn’s "painted pie" for the United States continued to change, Guo Taiming went to the White House to "chat" with Trump.
According to Taiwan’s “Central News Agency” on the 5th, after meeting with White House officials on the same day, Hon Hai Group founder Guo Taiming said it was inconvenient to talk more about the content of the talks, but said that he would make the US factory well. He said that the United States hopes that foreign investment will increase and it hopes to create more job opportunities for young people.
Taiwan’s "United Daily News" reported that Guo Taiming and his wife Zeng Xinying entered the White House at nearly 5 in the evening on the 5th to participate in the Christmas party and walked out at about 7:20. Terry Gou said after the meeting that US President Trump called him to "chat a little bit" and talked about the US economy, US-China trade, Wisconsin investment and other issues, but did not discuss Taiwan.

At around 11:20 on the 5th, Guo Taiming entered the White House, first with the head of the White House in charge of high-tech investment talks.
About two and a half hours later, Terry Gou walked out of the White House, but he was reluctant to talk more on the grounds that the content of the meeting was relatively confidential. He only said that the United States was very efficient in doing things and would do well in American factories.
As for the atmosphere of the meeting, Guo Taiming laughed but did not answer. But he said twice, “This time is sensitive and it is better not to talk about it.” He said that he would come to Washington again and talk about it next time.
As the media asked him about his views on the Hong Kong demonstrations, Guo Taiming believed that this topic was wrong.
He then said that the United States hopes that everyone can invest in manufacturing and high-tech in the United States. The world is the same. It hopes to provide young people with more job opportunities and farmers can have more jobs in other industries after automation. This is the subject of discussion. Every place is the same, I hope to find more job opportunities, and so does Trump.

After attending the White House Christmas party that night, Guo Taiming and his wife were also interviewed briefly outside the White House.
When the media asked about the content of the meeting between Guo Taiming and Trump, Guo Taiming said at the beginning that it was still confidential. The media asked whether the two were talking about Wisconsin investment or sensitive political issues. Guo Taiming said that it has nothing to do with Taiwan. They are talking about "many sensitive things" such as the US economy and Sino-US trade. He said that of course there is a chance to meet Trump at the party, "he called me over to chat."
The reporter asked Guo Taiming whether it would affect business in the mainland after the election. Guo Taiming smiled and said, "We don't talk about this."
Zeng Xinying said that this is her second time to participate in the White House. Christmas party feels full of Christmas atmosphere and very lively. She also took a photo with "First Lady" Melania and chatted a few words, but did not disclose the content of the conversation.
Guo Taiming said when interviewed earlier that after attending the White House Christmas party, he would fly to Wisconsin.
In June 2018, Foxconn officially laid the foundation stone for the plant that Foxconn planned to build in Wisconsin.
However, this factory, praised by Trump as the "Eighth Wonder of the World", was reported to have started for several months without any progress. The original "big plan" of producing advanced LCD panels has also changed. Related plans Procrastinated again and again.
