When Apple's new iphone5s "Tyrants Gold" is out of stock in the market, workers at the Foxconn plant in Zhengzhou, Henan province, may be working overtime. "Previously, in order to ensure the supply of new Apple, the plant has been to IDPBG business group restart large-scale recruitment." "A Foxconn person in charge of recruitment said to reporters that the current number is still not capped, the park continues to recruit a large number of pipeline workers."

Such a scenario seems to be seen every year, and around September, busy assembly lines for the new or Christmas season are packed with Foxconn's local campuses, as well as a host of recruiting agencies and government officials. "This time last year, the county district also convened a recruiting conference, basically the task is to subcontract to the individual." "A local cadre who once recruited for Foxconn said to the first financial daily that sometimes a cadre who has failed to work may be severely criticized or even dismissed."

As a global foundry giant, Foxconn attracts governments to throw "hydrangea" with its huge number of workers, as well as its fast-pulling effect on local GDP and exports. A group of data shows that more than 160 cities in China, with a population of more than 1.4 million Foxconn employees, are close to Zhuhai, surpassing Macau. "In this case, some local governments with a strong desire to attract investment will be saddled with huge cost costs in order to lure Foxconn to set up a factory." "Youhuan, Director of the Comprehensive Research and Development Center for Social Sciences in Guangdong province, told reporters.

Big Mac's here.

At first, the news of Foxconn's presence appeared to have injected a tranquilizer into Zhengzhou, Henan province.

At that time, Henan province is suffering from the throes of economic restructuring, in the state Ministry of Industry announced the elimination of backward capacity list, Henan province became "hardest hit", involving 15 industries, 230 enterprises of the project to be closed, this number ranked first in the country.

Barboza, vice governor of Henan Province, said in a media interview that the central province of China, Henan province, the largest industrial scale, its industrial structure is facing a new round of restructuring and upgrading. To promote the large-scale transfer from coastal to Henan, such as Foxconn, is to use the rich advantages of labor force in Henan province to vigorously promote labor-intensive development, and promote the industrial structure to upgrade the development of High-tech industries concrete embodiment.

"We have a lot of surplus labor, especially the rural surplus labor to transfer, after the transfer, it is generally engaged in labor-intensive industries, these departments need to promote the employment of rural labor, but also need to develop a large number of labor-intensive industries." "Barboza said.

And for Foxconn, the favorable conditions of investment can hardly let it say no.

According to local media reports, Foxconn Zhengzhou Industrial Park location, through the Zhengzhou to the central declaration of a comprehensive free trade zone, in the goods inflow and other links duty-free or tax rebate, and in the goods and foreign exchange, enjoy a lot of convenience. In terms of corporate income tax, Foxconn has also received a long period of remission that most companies cannot reach, while at the same time it has received subsidies from various provincial and municipal governments in two levels.

2011, the reporter visited the Zhengzhou in Henan province is still in sight: The streets are full of "Foxconn Recruitment advisory points" banner eye-catching red. And for Foxconn to enter Henan, most of the local companies are also welcome attitude.

"The arrival of Foxconn, not only can attract a large number of mobile phone original accessories upstream enterprises, but also attract packaging, logistics and many other supporting enterprises to Zhengzhou, to Zhengzhou Airport area, once the Foxconn industrial Park normal production operation, will attract more than 50 supporting enterprises, transport, logistics, catering, Services and other related industries will quickly develop. A local business owner said.

In summing up the development of Henan plant, Foxconn boss Terry Gou said, "In the past 3 years, we have found that the Henan government is efficient, the people are very diligent, good economic environment." The growth of Foxconn in Henan can prove that Henan is a place where High-tech industries can take roots. ”

The trouble with the mother-in-law

Although the economic benefits are obvious, but as "mother-in-law", Zhengzhou also has its own troubles.

Public data show that in the first half of this year, Foxconn's enterprises in Henan Province import and export 12.99 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 24.6%, accounting for 53.3% of the province's import and export, Foxconn import and export trade to the province's foreign trade growth contribution rate of 95.5%. However, according to the Department of Commerce in Henan Province, the province of June this year, the volume of imports and exports decreased by 980 million U.S. dollars, and the main reason for the decrease is due to the same period of Foxconn Henan factory exports decreased by 960 million U.S. dollars caused. In addition, because of the production of mobile phone machine with a phased, resulting in the first half of Henan metal processing machine tool imports fell 75%.

Fuskani cold, Henan export on the "cold", this sentence accurately reflects the current Henan province to Foxconn and its industrial chain of dependence.

"The responsibility of building a city should not only be on one enterprise, but in addition to supporting the development of ancillary industries, we should also pay attention to the local economy's return on investment." ”

An official from Henan provincial government also told the media in an interview earlier that it is questionable whether the government is investing so much money to pave the way for a firm's upfront investment.

According to the latest Henan Customs report, Foxconn will no longer be the only partner of the Apple handset, and its low-cost iphone will be assembled by another Taiwanese company, Pegatron, which will lead to a risk of slowing the future export of Henan mobile phones. To this end, the report suggested that one is to stabilize the next model of the production of Apple mobile phones, the second is to strive for Huawei, ZTE and other domestic leading enterprises settled in order to form a reasonable industry competition; The third is to encourage enterprises to mobile phone software, hardware development and after-sale maintenance and other high value-added industrial chain extension

"Foxconn's presence in Zhengzhou can bring great economic benefits to the region, but there will also be many problems with the integration of production and city." Youhuan told reporters that in planning guidance, the overall urban planning, control detailed planning and park planning should not be independent, at the same time, should not overemphasize the economic development of the park and industrial layout, so that the park life function lags behind the production function, the city function lags behind the production function, The power of sustainable development of the park economy is insufficient. "While giving concessions, we must also plan for sustainable development, urbanization and industrialization coordination." ”

Many of the Foxconn parks visited by reporters are located in more remote suburbs. A Foxconn cadre who returned from Shenzhen to work in the mainland has told reporters that from the bustling city to the suburbs it is easy to make a gap.

Perhaps, these are the beginning of the post-test of Foxconn.
