Around the world, there are many foundries, but let's talk about the largest and most powerful foundries.
That must not escape Foxconn, but Foxconn can develop to the current situation, and it is inseparable from Apple's support.
At present, Apple began to transfer the industry and transferred its development direction to the Indian market, which also led to Foxconn's industrial transfer.
Some people have long been discussing on the Internet whether Foxconn has long wanted to transfer its 300 billion production capacity, but it is only a matter of time. Gou Taiming is going to take away the rice bowl completely!
In fact, the outside world does not believe in Apple's transfer of industry.
Although these news were noisy, in March, Apple's helmsman Cook also chose to visit the mainland and held many interviews and exchanges with high-level officials in China.
It can be seen that their attention to the Chinese market is still very high, and they will not give up the Chinese market hastily.
We also admit that Apple has not completely left the Chinese market, let alone the Chinese market.
But for Apple, they have many partners, and China is not the only option.
Now they are putting more energy into the Indian market, so the news of Apple's industrial transfer is not nonsense.
According to Indian media information, after April, Apple helmsman Cook will come to India for a visit.
He will even participate in the opening of the first local Apple product retail store in India, which shows that Cook's attention to the Indian market is far higher than we thought.
For ordinary people, whether Apple will move from the Chinese market or not, it does not have much to do with us.
After all, Apple will never completely leave the Chinese market, they will still sell products to China, so everyone does not have to worry about not being able to buy Apple products.
However, for Foxconn, this should be handled carefully, once Apple shifts the market layout, their later development will also be greatly disturbed.
After considering a series of factors, Foxconn finally decided to directly transfer the production line to the Indian side, and it is understood that the transfer of production capacity involves 300 billion yuan.
For Foxconn, if it wants to develop, it must reach a close cooperation with Apple.
Because the number of orders provided by Apple to him is quite large, the benefits brought to him are also extremely considerable.
Foxconn is also very clear that the road in the later stage is not easy to follow, but they still make corresponding preparations.
Foxconn's new factory is located in the south of India, and the employees needed by the factory will be recruited locally.
It is worth noting that after the factory is set up, they will not only undertake orders to assemble iPhones, but also choose to produce auto parts.
In fact, what many people don't know is that in the early years, Foxconn has set up factories in India.
But the model they were able to produce was the older iPhone se, which was a low-end model.
In 2020, Indian Foxconn got an order to assemble the iPhone 11, which means that in the Indian Foxconn factory, it can also produce high-end iPhone products.
However, at that time, the production speed of Foxconn's iPhone in the mainland was still much faster than that of the Indian factory.
This is mainly because mainland Foxconn's technology is more advantageous, and the production speed and production quality are guaranteed.
However, Indian Foxconn has been concentrating on research, so in the later production of iPhone 12 and iPhone 14, the mass production time of mainland factories and Indian factories is also further shortened.
According to industry news, when Apple's mobile phone launches iPhone 15, the first batch of supply will be responsible for the Indian factory.
Many people in China believe that Foxconn's choice to build factories in India is also forced by practical pressure to catch up with Apple's footsteps, but in fact, Foxconn is also very willing.
Because in the course of so many years of development, Foxconn's corporate model has always been labor-intensive.
Basically, there has not been much change, and even if the technology is upgraded in the later stage, their demand for human resources is still unavoidable.
As we all know, the local labor resources on the Indian side are very rich and cheap, which provides strong support for the development of Foxconn.
Labor prices in the mainland are soaring, and Foxconn's costs are increasing year by year, it is better to go to India to build factories, but can make a profit.
Seeing a series of behaviors made by Foxconn, many foreign media have made it clear that Gou Taiming now chooses to take his job away.
This description is not an exaggeration, after all, Gou was able to succeed in entrepreneurship because the mainland market took the initiative to open up at that time, and Gou Taiming successfully got the order.
It is no exaggeration to say that Gou Taiming can bring Foxconn to this point is inseparable from the opportunities provided to him by the mainland market.
Without the mainland market, Apple probably wouldn't know Gou and his Foxconn.
Now Foxconn is too dependent on Apple, which is not a good sign, it will only be subject to people.
