Everything is changing, and the speed is unimaginable.
The glory of those enterprises will quickly disappear in the dust of history with the upgrading of the industry and the replacement of technology.
When the times say goodbye, they don't even say hello.
This is the choice of mankind and the law of history, and what we have to do is to go with the trend and conform to the law.
In June 2018, Industrial Fulian (Foxconn) quickly passed the meeting and landed on the main board of the Shanghai Market, when the company was pinned high hopes on the outside world.
At the beginning of the listing, some brokers predicted that if Industrial Fulian can pull out eleven consecutive up and down boards, then its market value will reach trillions, surpassing Maotai.
Foxconn's founder Terry Gou once said: "We are not a factory, but an intelligent manufacturing base."
But for his statement, the outside world did not give corresponding recognition, the hat of traditional manufacturing industry was not taken off, and the essence of the foundry enterprises did not change, so the stock price of Industrial Fulian stopped at 25.78 yuan / share (before the right), and the market value was fixed at 512 billion.
It has been said that the choices of young people determine the direction of the times and represent a future of infinite possibilities.
On March 5, Zhang Xinghai, chairman of Xiaokang Group, suggested that young people should enter factories more and deliver less takeaways.
He believes that in recent years, takeaway, e-commerce, online live broadcasting, etc. have attracted a large number of young people to work, and many young people are reluctant to go to the factory, resulting in the hollowing out of industrial workers becoming more prominent. Therefore, all sectors of society should work together to let young people re-enter the factory to alleviate the problem of difficulty in recruiting workers in the manufacturing industry.
A stone stirs up a thousand layers of waves.
Not to talk about the payment of remuneration is a joke after all, the richness of the remuneration determines the flow of labor, so Zhang Xinghai's suggestion has been ridiculed countless times, and even some disdain.
According to data, the talent gap in the mainland's manufacturing industry in 2020 is 22 million, and the average annual brain drain in the manufacturing industry in the past five years has reached 1.5 million.
In stark contrast, the number of people in the express delivery industry has exceeded 10 million.
This is the dilemma of the manufacturing industry, and it is also the urgent need for intelligent manufacturing upgrades. Only by upgrading production capacity and allowing practitioners to earn more money and have more dignity can we attract more talents, rather than blindly shouting slogans and pulling the banner.
Dong Mingzhu once said in an interview: "Today's young people want to get married and have children. You said that he originally wanted to do scientific research with peace of mind, but he was sad to find an object, the house was not there, and his energy was first half consumed for the house, how did he use his heart to engage in scientific research. ”
Therefore, since 2018, Dong Mingzhu has put forward the slogan of one person and one suite.
She believes that the purpose of the house is that if the employee is really willing to work hard in the enterprise, we should create such material conditions for him, not only to retain talents, but also to respect talents.
What is the most expensive thing in the 21st century - talent, the slogan we have shouted for twenty years, has never been able to get out of the threshold of 35 years old, and most of our companies are still measured by overtime.
Fortunately, this phenomenon is changing.
In fact, when we calm down to reflect on the past two decades, from the Internet to the mobile Internet, and then from the mobile Internet to the Internet of Things, the representative enterprises changed from IBM to Amazon, from Nokia to Apple, and today to Tesla. The pace of humanity is getting faster and faster, and the trajectory of people's job migration must be the fastest growing industry.
The reason why the trend of entering the factory in the 90s was that although Foxconn's "reputation" in the outside world was not very good at that time, the young people who entered the factory were still in an endless stream, which was the choice of the times and the choice of young people.
But that's all changing, and it's not about the will of the business.
In 2018, Foxconn completed the listing, which is its last "glory", although it wants to get rid of the OEM hat, but still just think about it.
For Foxconn, the number of orders determines the intensity of overtime work of workers, after each Apple's new product launch, Foxconn can always usher in a wave of peak season for recruitment, but after the boom, the factory area will fall into relative silence.
In order to reduce its dependence on Foxconn and take in more profits, Cook began the dual-supplier strategy of "Foxconn + Luxun" very early.
Li Junqi, chairman of The Industrial Fulian, once said: "Any new technology, or even a technology that rises to a revolution, needs a process of gradual growth, especially the industrial Internet, which is the beginning of a new format and a protracted war." ”
But in the face of Apple's reduced orders and the slow growth of corporate profits, it is clear that the outside world is not optimistic about the company's prospects.
Today, the listing time of Industrial Fulian has reached four years, facing a net profit of 11.007 billion yuan in the first three quarters of 2021, a growth rate of 25%, the market selectively "ignored" it, and its stock price has hit a record low, and the market value has evaporated by more than 300 billion yuan.
This is the choice of the times, and Industry Fulian, you, and I must adapt.
