With the reform and opening up, the cooperative relationship between countries has become closer and closer, especially the entire production process of a mobile phone, consumers get a complete mobile phone, but the entire product in the process of design and development, may be many of the accessories are provided by different countries. Not only the configuration of the parts, but even the assembly may be carried out by many countries together. This is to enable each country to play to its own advantages.
▲Economic globalization
Apple's mobile phone, which is popular all over the world, is precisely because of the strength of its own technical system, occupying a huge mobile phone market in China. Even in times like the pandemic, their benefits are quite high. As Apple's fame grows, they have also driven the development of many related companies in China, especially foundries like Foxconn. However, the interests of such a foundry will not be very high, but the mainland has always belonged to a populous country and is also known for its cheap labor. Therefore, the mainland also has many large-scale foundry factories, of which OFILM is a very famous one, it is also Apple's foundry, and the entire order volume also accounts for one-third.

Technology is constantly improving
For example, in the past, China's labor force may be the first choice of many countries, but in recent years, the mainland has developed better and better, and people's overall living standards have also been greatly improved, and there are naturally higher requirements for wages. For some foreign companies, compared with some countries in Southeast Asia, China obviously does not meet the conditions of "cheap labor". Many processing plants have also moved to small countries in Southeast Asia. Among them, apple has also transferred factories, and this is a relatively large loss for OFILM. After all, Apple's factory has been transferred, of course, O-film can not receive orders, just because a quarter has not been able to reach a cooperation with Apple, the loss has reached more than 70 million.
▲OFILM
Their own strength
In fact, this also reflects that our domestic processing plants are quite dependent on foreign companies. There is nothing in itself that can stand up. In fact, this should not be the state of OFILM. ATILM at the beginning, the development of the entire light lens can be regarded as relatively cutting-edge, like many well-known domestic brands, Huawei, Xiaomi and OFILM have reached a cooperative relationship. But OFILM has always wanted to maintain a long-term and stable cooperative relationship with Apple.
Partnership cancellation
In order to be able to reach a long-term cooperative relationship with Apple, nearly 1.5 billion yuan was spent to acquire Apple's specialized camera cooperation company. Obtain the corresponding patented technology. In those years, OFILM's earnings were also considerable. But it may also be precisely because in the whole cooperation, Apple's business is more and more important, and it has not maintained the positioning of its own brand and directly become an accessory of others. However, Apple itself is relatively demanding, the pursuit of camera quality is also constantly improving, coupled with the United States for its own national enterprise protection monopoly, many joint enterprises have to give up continued cooperation with Apple. This includes OFILM, and what is even worse is that due to Huawei's sanctions by the United States, its production on high-end machines is limited, and the transaction volume with OFILM has been forced to decline.
▲Production of lenses
After failing to continue to cooperate with Apple, OFILM's overall earnings have become worse and worse. Let's look at Foxconn, also as Apple's foundry, but in the process of continuous development, it has become an irreplaceable processing plant for Apple.
So we can see that this is still the development of our own technology is very important. Relying only on foreign companies will make your own path narrower and narrower. If you don't move forward, you are constantly going backwards.
