Foxconn first "stabbed" Huawei, and then built factories overseas, and domestic mobile phone manufacturers finally saw the true face of Foxconn. Following Huawei, domestic mobile phone giants have successively "abandoned" Foxconn, and even Apple has found a new foundry and regarded Foxconn as an "outcast", perhaps Gou Taiming never dreamed of such a result!
As we all know, Foxconn is the world's largest foundry, with nearly 1 million employees and multiple factories in the world, more importantly, Foxconn can be described as Apple's special foundry, Foxconn 70% of the orders are from Apple; and Foxconn production line at the same time to provide millions of jobs to the Chinese people, which makes Foxconn not only earn "full of pots", but also fame and fortune. Founder Terry Gou also ascended to the throne of the richest man in Taiwan and began to float up. In addition to Apple, domestic Huawei, Xiaomi, Meizu, OPPO, etc. are also Foxconn's partners.
However, since Huawei was blacklisted by Lao Mei and cut off the supply of chips, Foxconn announced the termination of cooperation with Huawei at the first time. As soon as the news came out, many netizens scolded: "Foxconn is a white-eyed wolf, and will only bow to the old beauty and fall into the well!" ”
At the same time, with the rapid development of the mainland in recent years, various costs, including labor costs, are rising, and many enterprises have even appeared "labor shortage". Therefore, Foxconn began to consider building factories overseas to reduce costs. On the other hand, in order to cooperate with Apple's "transition" to the Indian market, Foxconn decided to build a semiconductor factory in India and invested $5 billion.
Huawei seems to have prepared early, and after being "stabbed" by Foxconn, it immediately handed over the order to byBYD in China. Other domestic mobile phone manufacturers have also seen the true face of Foxconn more and more, and have successively chosen to abandon Foxconn. Xiaomi and Honor have also chosen to hand over most of the FOUNDries to BYD for production.
OpPO and VIVO, the two mobile phone giants also have their own production plants, in the face of mobile phone OEM problems, these two companies can basically achieve independent design, research and development, manufacturing of a one-stop model. Because they all directly omit the foundry link, mobile phones are produced in their own factories, so that not only the quality control of mobile phones is guaranteed, but also the cost can be reduced.
What Gou really did not expect was that not only domestic mobile phone manufacturers have abandoned Foxconn, but even the most trusted Apple company has given Foxconn a knife behind its back. After Foxconn officially announced its willingness to transfer production lines to India to build factories, Apple CEO Cook said that it will continue to deepen the Chinese market, which is undoubtedly a "punch in the face" of Foxconn. Since the iPhone 13 last year, Apple has abandoned Foxconn in favor of cooperating with the new foundry "Luxun Precision".
Just when Foxconn was still complacent, as everyone knew, Apple had already found a replacement for Foxconn's next home, and perhaps Gou taiming did not expect such a result in his dreams! I don't know if Gou is remorseful?
I think that from the moment Foxconn forced Huawei away, Foxconn should think about what kind of results will be in the future, right?
