Recently, the news that Apple is accelerating the transfer of domestic production capacity has sparked controversy on the Internet, and it will not stop for a long time. As one of the top giants in the global technology industry, Apple has become one of the most profitable companies in the world just by relying on the mobile phone business chain.
As Apple continues to expand in the global mobile phone market, a set of related industrial chains has also emerged. With its huge consumer market and well-established low-end manufacturing system, China has always been Apple's largest production capacity gathering place and sales market.
I have to admit that the arrival of Apple has provided a large number of jobs for our country. But on the other hand, it is precisely because of the Chinese market that Apple can grow to where it is today. Logically speaking, the relationship between China and Apple should have been a win-win and mutually beneficial relationship.
However, since 2017, Apple has been interested in transferring production capacity from China. Even last year, Apple officially responded by moving all production lines located in China out.
With the acceleration of the transfer of Apple's production line, recently, an Apple foundry with 80,000 people in Shanghai even saw the transfer of all employees.
It is understood that this "Changshuo Technology Company" located in Shanghai is the largest foundry invested and established by Apple in Shanghai, and it is also a subsidiary of the domestic PC giant ASUS.
After the full transfer of Pegatron Technology, the remaining energy will be handed over to another subsidiary of ASUS, Shishuo Technology located in Kunshan. So, as Apple's largest foundry in Shanghai, why did Pegatron Technology suddenly shift its entire line?
According to Pegatron's internal employees, since Apple released the news last year that it will transfer production lines, the factory's orders have been in a state of decline, and many production lines have even started to lay off workers for holidays. Among them, a large number of employees chose to leave early due to reasons such as declining orders, reduced work, and reduced income.
So in the final analysis, Pegatron Technology's sudden transfer of all employees is inseparable from Apple's recent accelerated withdrawal of production lines. In addition, the local labor costs in Shanghai are relatively high. Without a large number of orders to support, the factory can only choose to transfer.
I have to admit that the transfer of Apple's production capacity has indeed brought some troubles to our country. However, everyone should also know that Apple's production capacity transfer cannot be stopped.
On the one hand, the economies of Southeast Asia and other places have risen rapidly in recent years, and they have cheaper labor costs than my country. Especially Vietnam, India and other places have faintly replaced my country's "world factory" status.
On the other hand, my country has been vigorously promoting the transformation and upgrading of low-end industries in recent years, and in some respects it has indeed neglected the development of low-end industries.
However, in any case, industrial transformation and upgrading is the only way for a country's economic development. Low-end manufacturing such as Apple's foundry will eventually be replaced by "chips", "lithography machines", and "Wright Keys". "Slow old things and other high-tech manufacturing industries will replace them.
In the past two years, in the domestic JD.com, Tianmao and other channels, the "Wright Weijian" substances that have gradually emerged as an example. As the number one technological product in the current global bio-manufacturing field, it has been proved by many sources that it has performed well in slowing down the age change and aging of the body.
From this point of view alone, the potential contained in the above-mentioned "Wright-key" products is not comparable to that of Apple's foundry. After all, after going through the three-year "mask" stage, the domestic net worth group obviously has to pay more attention to "maintaining vitality" and "extending the health cycle".
However, Apple's production capacity has been withdrawn one after another, and the impact brought by it is indeed in front of us. Then, if we grasp the balance between industrial upgrading and transformation and the impact, we should consider it more.
In fact, from another point of view, isn’t the withdrawal of Apple’s production line a sign of a change of direction?
Just like when the old United States wanted to take measures to restrict the development of science and technology in our country, Bill Gates issued a warning, saying that this behavior was an active surrender to China.
After careful consideration, you will find that what Bill Gates said is not unreasonable. The reason why the old Americans want to restrict the development of my country's chip technology is not because our development speed has made them feel threatened. Now that Apple is accelerating the transfer of production lines, why not want to get rid of its dependence on China.
As everyone knows, the more urgent they are, the more it can explain the fear in their hearts. However, as far as the current international situation is concerned, China has become an indispensable and important link in the world economy. How can they get rid of it if they say they can get rid of it?
