Apple, Foxconn and others have built factories in India because India is very similar to the original China, not only the size of the market, but also the large number of people and low labor costs. However, India relied on a "lazy" word that scared off U.S. capital.
I thought that long-term development could be achieved in India, but because of the protests of workers, Foxconn stopped work again. The cause was food poisoning by hundreds of employees at the factory, followed by a massive protest by about 1,000 employees complaining of unhygienic food and substandard dormitories. Faced with this situation, Foxconn can only choose to stop work and make changes in response to employee feedback.
However, Foxconn originally planned to resume normal work on January 3, but due to some factors, it can only be delayed by three days. Although this is not the first time that Gou has been pitted, it should be known that the three-day shutdown is a major loss for Foxconn. To make up for this loss, Gou once again targeted the mainland market, gradually reducing his investment in India.
In order to promote India's economic development, India's transport minister invited Tesla to india to build a factory, but Musk refused. After all, with Foxconn as a "lesson from the past", Tesla will definitely not send people's heads, so it chose to run away. In fact, for any company, the purpose of building a factory in India is to make money and save employment costs.
However, according to Foxconn's current situation analysis, it is already fortunate not to post money. This is mainly due to the following two reasons.
One: India's infrastructure is very backward, spending about three times as much time on transportation as the mainland, which reduces productivity to some extent.
Second: Indian workers are very lazy, the quality level is very low, often leave early and late, and can only take some unskilled jobs. Especially at the time of public health events, due to insufficient awareness of epidemic prevention, the Indian government could not effectively control, resulting in many workers in the factory being infected, so in order to ensure the safety of employees, Foxconn had to stop work.
However, Foxconn's shutdown caused a series of chain reactions, not only Apple's mobile phone production capacity fell by about half, but even Apple's other foundry, Wistron, was also seriously affected. Because the wages of Indian workers did not meet the expected targets, workers smashed factories in droves and snapped up Apple mobile phones for zero yuan.
According to statistics, Wistron lost Rs 437 crore during this period, which was converted into about RMB380 million. Although public health events have affected the development of Foxconn, Apple, and Wistron, in fact, the biggest factor is the "laziness" of Indian workers, who are like a gyroscope that only spins once, otherwise it will only stay in place.
Not only that, but Indian workers are poorly educated, with most low-caste and rural children not attending school. Women, in particular, about half of All Indian women are illiterate. More critically, Indian workers see manual labor as a disgrace, as work as one of the products of the caste system, as the essence of caste.
Indian workers believe that once they engage in manual labor, they pollute their purity. Since caste is immutable, a person's caste is already predestined at birth, so most low-caste Indian workers believe that no matter how much change can not be this situation, it is better to enjoy the entertainment, comfortable life.
The so-called "hard work to get rich", laziness will only get poorer and poorer, and poverty will make a person more and more lazy, which is a cyclical process. If Indian workers do not find this problem and remain so lazy, perhaps the Plans of the West to make India the next "factory of the world" will fail.
After all, as a good and high-quality worker, you need to master at least two points. The first is to work seriously, have a correct attitude, and be positive; the second is the level of secondary education. Obviously, indian workers cannot achieve either work attitude or education level.
Not only that, India's labor law is somewhat "strange", for companies with more than 100 workers, they need to obtain approval from the Indian government to dismiss employees. This labor law seems to protect the legitimate rights and interests of workers, but in fact, it hinders the development of some companies, leading to the polarization of Indian companies.
Either industry giants are taking advantage of price advantages to make up for the losses companies face in the face of labor laws, or small workshops are regulated by the Indian government. As for the workers, they only need to live in peace and stability, and they do not have to worry about facing unemployment one day.
summary
The laziness of Indian workers not only affected the development of Foxconn, but also scared off American capital, causing Tesla to flee into the wilderness. In fact, in the final analysis, it is because of the "laziness" of Indian workers, the lack of seriousness in their work, the level of education is very low, and the lack of down-to-earth, hard-working spirit. Do you have any unique insights into this?
