Chapter 1178 The Lion Opens Its Mouth
"Don't ask about the price. It's already low enough. If you can't afford it, don't buy it. Don't move it. If it breaks, you won't be able to build it!" People from Foxconn spoke very arrogantly in the workshop, looking at the people who came to evaluate. SME technician.
These people are very unhappy. Who would be happy if they were treated like country people? Besides, I don’t know where Foxconn’s sense of superiority comes from. If it is so awesome, why would it be squeezed out by Changtian Technology?
But these people still tolerate it. Their companies really need these machines with good performance to develop their businesses. At this point, they don't want to offend such things.
Unexpectedly, the people at Foxconn became more and more angry and kept taunting them. They were depressed in their hearts. This kind of depression was brought to them by Changtian Technology, but they had no way to settle the score with Changtian Technology, so they could only vent their anger on these small and medium-sized enterprises. From the perspective of people at Foxconn, if they can’t afford to offend Changtian Technology, why can’t they afford to offend you little shrimps?
Foxconn's weakness is only relative to Changtian Technology. If you look at it in the world, it is definitely the overlord. Everyone is a little Karami.
Among the technicians who came to buy second-hand equipment, there were naturally some younger ones, and their tempers were not so good. After being ridiculed for a while, he finally broke out.
"You're the only one who opened your mouth, right? What's so great about Foxconn? Do you have original products? Do you think you have a sense of superiority when you do OEM work for others?"
When the people at Foxconn heard this, they immediately mocked and said, "We are not awesome, so you go to other places to buy equipment. Why do you come to me? We are not awesome, but you can come up with production lines and equipment of the same level!"
"Why are you so awesome that Changtian Technology chases you around like a dog? Stop talking about your broken equipment. If you can't buy Changtian Technology's products, you can't wait for Changtian Technology technicians to come and modify it. Production line, I won’t come here to look at this pile of junk. What the hell!”
"Get out! Get out of here and go to Changtian Technology. Don't stay here! Without our equipment, your factory will close down soon."
"Just leave! Mad! Anyway, you won't see the day when my factory closes down! Changtian Technology will deal with you soon. By then, your fate will be much worse than mine, fuck! Let me tell you something again, you Why do you think I came here to buy your junk? Just to complete the order for Changtian Technology faster!"
These words directly broke the guard of the Foxconn man. He danced like a shrew and wanted to come down to beat someone. As a result, the young man straightened his back in a calm manner and said calmly: "You want to be my nobleman? You bitch." people!"
These words immediately calmed down Foxconn. He was so angry that he was hurt internally and watched the young man leave.
What happened today was soon known to boss Xiao Guo, who was in charge of Foxconn in Kaifeng Province. He slammed the table angrily: "How dare you say that we were beaten away by Changtian Technology! I have to let everyone know what our status is! Kaifeng The province is begging us to stay!"
Another day passed and Boss Xiao Guo's phone rang almost on time. No need to ask, it must be Director Qin. This time he picked up the phone, pretended to be polite, and started to make conditions.
"The tax exemption has been extended for five years, and the maintenance of the factory is the responsibility of the local area, but it must comply with our requirements, otherwise the production conditions will not be met. Build another road around Foxconn, so that my factory can have several avenues to facilitate the entry and exit of materials. In terms of recruitment, you will pay 20% of the employees' social security. Please refer to the contract for specific details.
This is my appeal. Don’t complain. You can buy it locally and stimulate the economy. "Boss Xiao Guo is so rude. Director Qin's brows did not even lift after hearing this.
Is this a condition for opening a factory? Neither my son nor I want the family property this much! It is exempted here and reduced there. Good guy, after doing this, Kaifeng Province really only has the benefit of increasing the employment rate. This is beneficial to the whole province, but it puts a lot of pressure on the city where it is located. In the end, the whole province has to coordinate.
"Let's go back and draft the contract and give it to you to review in two days, okay?"
"Well, that's pretty much it. You go and get the contract. If it's not suitable, we will naturally bring it up."
"Well!"
Director Qin bravely reported Foxconn's conditions and asked the people above to discuss and make a decision. He did not have that much authority to agree.
Within two days, Zheng City held many meetings and interviewed many units according to those conditions, with the purpose of allowing these units to accept Foxconn's requirements.
Who builds roads, who repairs them, and who coordinates excess transportation capacity. Many units have expressions of embarrassment on their faces, asking people to work in vain.
But for the sake of the overall situation, everyone had no choice but to accept it. At worst, they would be fed to stray dogs.
When Director Qin brought the printed contract to Foxconn, Boss Xiao Guo just sent someone to take the contract and said he was going back to study it, but he didn't even meet in person. After all, Director Qin is a person with considerable power, but he can't even meet the boss of the Foxconn branch.
Director Qin's phone rang a few hours later, and it was from Foxconn. He said the conditions were not suitable and needed to be changed. Then more stringent requirements were put forward.
After Director Qin patiently listened to the request, he was so angry that he slammed the table, Mad, otherwise I would just give you the property of Kaifeng Province, don't go to such trouble!
Those demands are excessive. To sum up, the entire Zhengzhou City must build its industry around Foxconn. The various industries behind this are linked together, and it requires half of the resources of Kaifeng Province to do it.
Just give two or three conditions and you will know how excessive it is.
For example, based on how much GDP Foxconn creates and how many jobs it creates, the local government will provide cash returns in different categories. The calculation of GDP created and jobs provided is very favorable to Foxconn, as are those ancillary industries and outsourcing orders. Moreover, when there are differences in calculations, Foxconn must prevail.
For another example, when there is a shortage of industrial workers, Foxconn is given priority to ensure that Foxconn’s orders can be completed in a timely manner. For another example, Kaifeng Province pays 50% of employee social security, which refers to the part that Foxconn should have paid.
With such an explanation, don’t you know how much Foxconn has gone too far?
There is no way, Kaifeng Province is the most populous province in the country, and behind every worker is a family.
There are old people and children.
As an inland city, there are no large enterprises in Kaifeng Province that can absorb so many workers at one go.
The population of Xia Kingdom is indeed decreasing, and the population is aging.
But on the other hand, the existing population of Xia State is still very large, with a population of 1.4 billion.
Everyone has to open their mouths to eat as soon as they wake up. This is a real problem.
If Kaifeng Province cannot absorb these labor forces, it will be difficult for laborers to move south to coastal cities and find jobs.
After all, coastal cities, similar to Shenzhen City, have already seen many intensive processing companies leave.
Director Qin asked for a longer time to study this time. He didn't know whether this matter could still be accomplished. He was a little confused about how Foxconn dared to speak like this.
Foxconn originally planned to run away and get orders from Apple. After being talked about too much, he felt that he had lost face, so he did this to let everyone know that Foxconn wanted to leave because he wanted to leave, and was not forced to leave by Changtian Technology. of.
Within the Xia Kingdom, Foxconn was constantly leaving the country, and the news in Kaifeng Province was naturally quickly known to the Americans. They were very satisfied with Foxconn's posture and awareness, so they conducted an exclusive interview. Boss Guo left the country and participated in the program in person. .
"Dear Mr. Guo, I heard that Xia Guo wants Foxconn to stay and has made a lot of efforts. What do you think of this matter?"
"Connor, this is true. It's not just a hearsay. Various places in Xia Kingdom have offered very generous conditions to Foxconn to stay."
"Then why does Xia Guo offer such good conditions?"
"Of course it's because Foxconn is worth it. Foxconn invests in building factories in mainland China and accepts international orders. This is a capability that many companies in Xia Guo do not have. We drive the economy and provide jobs. If we leave, Xia Guo will fill the gap. No. We can only watch foreign products earn people’s money, but we don’t even have the opportunity to earn craft fees.”
"Will Foxconn accept their conditions and choose not to leave?"
"It's hard to say. Apple orders have to be taken into consideration. The closer to the delivery location, the better. It's a bit difficult to deliver goods if you stay in Xia Kingdom. After all, the apples have moved to other regions. It depends on what other places in Xia Kingdom can provide. No matter what the conditions are, as long as the conditions are generous enough, we can still keep some of our strength in Xia Kingdom."
"Aren't you worried that Xia Guo will terminate cooperation? If your asking price is too high, they won't be able to afford it."
"Don't be afraid! If you think about it this way, without Foxconn, they would not be able to receive international orders no matter how generous their terms were, and they could have such a positive impact.
…
This interview was originally conducted abroad, but now is an era of extreme informationization. All news channels have been made public. After Changtian Technology built its own Internet, the truth of the world can no longer be hidden.
Therefore, this video was quickly forwarded from the external network to Xia's domestic network, causing an uproar.
"I'm so ashamed to hear you bragging. I don't remember what Foxconn was like back then. If I hadn't come to the mainland to open a factory, I would have been squeezed to death by the United States and Japan. With Xia's excellent industrial workers, transportation is convenient, and supplies are available. Conditions, after turning over, you forget about the origin?"
"It's not Foxconn that gives the Xia people food, but the Xia people that give Foxconn a chance to be reborn. If its first stop had been to countries like Yue and Asan, boss Guo would have gone back to set up a stall selling three-cup chicken! Damn it! It’s north!”
"Don't say you are so great. Those benefits and orders have been surpassed by Changtian Technology. Are you going to die? Is it a shame or not? Don't look at how many people in your own factory have turned around and gone to Changtian Technology? Foxconn is just... In the stage of dying struggle, sooner or later it will be over!"
"Foxconn is no longer the Foxconn it used to be. The treatment and other aspects are much worse, and its own profits have dropped significantly. Damn! I always feel that people from Xia mainland are country people."
"Boss Lao Guo's butt is crooked. Such a thing will just leave. It's not rare!"
Faced with the turbulent public opinion on the Internet, Foxconn remained silent. Boss Guo felt that he had made a mistake, but how could he apologize? Especially apologizing to country people you look down on?
"Don't worry, they are a group of low-level people. No matter how harsh they scold them, it is useless. Kaifeng Province has been begging us. This proves that our value is very high, so high that KF City cannot give up. The same is true in other places In this situation, what is there to worry about?" Boss Xiao Guo also disagreed.
However, online public opinion still affects the decision-making of Kaifeng Province. They are worried that their continued retention of Foxconn will cause public dissatisfaction.
"Why don't we stop begging Foxconn, this grandson? What a grandson! I dare to speak out. The key is that the public's attention is too high now. I'm afraid the public will criticize us for being too weak."
"This cannot be used as a reason to refuse. People will value face and reputation, but we can't do this. Foxconn is a good grandson. It can provide employment and stimulate employment. These are the prerequisites for survival. They know what they want when they have money. It smells delicious!”
"But we can't ignore public opinion outside. The foundation for management is gone. How can we continue to operate? If we give in too much, we may not be able to rally people's support in the future."
"No, the public won't be watching this all the time."
"The problem is that Foxconn's conditions will affect the people to a great extent. Once those conditions are agreed, we will have to give in and bleed. The blood comes from the people, and they are the ones who will be injured in the end. By then, won't they make more trouble?"
"Let's just take it one step at a time. If we have time, we can develop other industries to offset the adverse effects."
"Vote, stop fighting."
The result of the vote was to accept Foxconn's conditions. These people are not naive people. For the sake of the people of Kaifeng Province, they will do these things even if they bear infamy.
However, after the incident, Foxconn raised the price again, just to let the world see its presence.
This made Kaifeng Province very uncomfortable and at a loss. The conditions last time were already very reluctant, and if we raise the price again, it would be too much to bear.
Just when Kaifeng Province was in a dilemma, Changtian Technology's team came, and the leader was Lu Jiang. He was going to win Foxconn in Kaifeng Province in the first battle! For this purpose, the cooperation of Kaifeng Province is indispensable and a clear support attitude must be given. Otherwise, Changtian Technology will have to spend more time killing Foxconn’s will.
"I don't know why everyone from Changtian Technology came here. Are you going to invest in building a factory? Then I really want it." Director Qin poured water for them enthusiastically. These people were really pleasing to the eye, and they were all very rich. polite.
Lu Jiang's team stood up to receive the water and thanked them. This made Director Qin have a better impression of them. It is really rare for such a large company to remain humble towards people.
"We are here to invest. This is our memorandum, which states the general conditions. The details will be in the contract." (End of Chapter)
