Too much inventory, not enough cash, the only way is to cut production!
Cook made an urgent order: cut the production of Apple mobile phones.
This decision has the entire Apple company in a hurry.
Various factories that have cooperated with Apple have begun to make adjustments.
Including Apple's largest partners Foxconn, Jabil and so on.
These manufacturers originally needed to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to ensure the normal operation of the production line, but now with the decrease in orders from their largest customer Apple, they have to face the reduction of employee positions.
Foxconn, which has moved to India to expand production and recruit a large number of workers, received a notification from its major customer Apple.
?Notice from Apple: According to market demand, we will reduce production and orders from Foxconn by 60%.
After Foxconn got the news, it was shocked, and the contact specialist quickly replied to Apple:
"Why? We have built a new factory in India and recruited a large number of employees. If orders are cut, it will have a huge negative impact on us."
Apple: "Market demand is declining, and we need to reduce production accordingly to adapt to market changes. According to our agreement, the number of unproduced orders can be reduced, and we only need to fulfill our notification obligation."
The contact person was anxious: "This will cause us to have a large number of idle machines and workers in the next few months! The factory is completed but there are no orders, the production line is empty, and we are suffering every day! This will give us Cause a lot of damage, you can't do this!"
Apple: "We know this is a huge challenge for you, but it is necessary for Apple. We need to ensure that our products are competitive in the market, and we also need to balance costs and profits. Hope You can understand."
Foxconn "Then what should we do? We still have so many equipment and so many workers, if we cut orders all at once, how much will we have to pay?"
Apple no longer responds.
The phone on the other side hung up, and the Foxconn contact person was stunned.
Apple has always been one of Foxconn's most important customers, and Foxconn has largely relied on Apple's orders to maintain its business.
More than half of Foxconn's orders come from Apple.
If Apple took steps to shrink orders, he thought about how badly it would affect Foxconn.
The bad news quickly spread to Guo Ming, the boss in the Bay Area.
Guo Ming was in mixed feelings when he heard the news that Apple had cut production and Foxconn could not receive orders.
He couldn't help but think of the moment when he decided to leave the mainland and invest and build a factory in India.
Forty years ago, he saw the huge development potential and huge opportunities in the mainland, took the express train of the mainland's economic take-off, and benefited from the demographic dividend of the mainland, and turned Foxconn into a world-class enterprise.
However, in recent years, the mainland's economy has taken off, and the treatment of workers has gradually improved. Foxconn can no longer use workers at low prices. He plans to leave the mainland at this time.
In mainland China, Tiangong Technology, a subsidiary of Changtian Technology, entered the manufacturing industry, bringing more advanced technology and better treatment.
However, Foxconn is unwilling to learn better treatment like Tiangong Technology, and its market share is gradually decreasing.
Moreover, the international community is pessimistic about Xia, and believes that India will rise.
He believes that starting a business in India is more promising. India has abundant human resources and lower costs.
He thought so, and he did so.
Guo Ming transferred all the factories to India, which was welcomed by the Indian government.
As for Foxconn's factories in Xiaguo, they were all built by the local government of Xiaguo. Guo Ming didn't even spend a penny, he just needed to move the equipment.
The news of Foxconn leaving Xia Guo was a sensation. Many people thought that Xia Guo¡¯s manufacturing industry was over. Many places in Xia Guo hoped to negotiate with Guo Ming, but Guo Ming was indifferent. He thought he was the king, backed by American capital and enterprises, He said it.
After coming to India, Guo Ming discovered that India, as a developing country, has huge market potential.
The cost of production has indeed been reduced, and the labor cost in India is far cheaper than that in the mainland.
?With low-cost production, Foxconn's bidding competitiveness has become stronger, and it has won many international orders, and Guo Ming has also made a lot of money.
In an interview with the US media, Guo Ming also said in high spirits: "It was a right decision to agree to transfer the factory to India. We have achieved great success in India. India is extremely competitive.The products of Yichangtian Technology are sold in the US market, but the equity cannot be handed over to the Xia people! "
Gelsinger from Intel shines: "The U.S. market cannot be in the hands of foreigners. We can unite to put pressure on Changtian Technology and ask it to give up Hanhai Technology's shares in the North American market."
Microsoft's Nadella was a little hesitant. "This method is indeed good, but how do we get other people to support us? This is not in line with the principle of fair competition that our country advertises."
"Votes, money and public opinion, kid!" Facebook CEO Zach said, "Only we know how the U.S. market works!"
"This is not only a competition in the field of science and technology, but also a competition for world dominance!"
This is not only a competition among technology companies, but also because the capital behind them has begun to die.
What everyone has to do is to tell the capital of the United States that Changtian Technology has touched the core interests of the United States.
Technological hegemony must be in the hands of the Americans.
The last time a country dared to challenge the United States, the grass on the grave was two meters long. .
Soon, prompted by a number of American technology companies, some congressmen requested the National Cyber ??Security Center of the United States to send supervisors to conduct a security review of Hanhai Technology, and asked Hanhai Technology to disclose product technology.
The media reported that there were some abnormalities in the process of using the products of Hanhai Technology. Experts who did not want to be named conducted preliminary tests on the products and found that there were a large number of unknown functions in the products, and the codes were not disclosed.
Then some congressmen pointed out that Hanhai Technology was suspected of illegally collecting users' private personal information, trying to steal US state secrets, and illegally use it in the military field, posing a serious threat to the national security of the US.
And in the first place, Japan, India, Australia and other countries also successively passed proposals to review Hanhai Technology products.
? Australia signed laws and regulations requiring stricter scrutiny of data centers of foreign companies operating in Australia.
However, Dongyang has issued regulations that staff working in key government departments are not allowed to use Changtian Technology products.
But if you know, Zemeng 2 wearable devices are not sold in these countries.
At this time, Chen Xiao was fishing at Changtian Technology in Changzezhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou, when he suddenly received a system prompt.
[Congratulations: The cumulative influence is 20 million, whether to exchange it to light up the technology tree].
coming
finally come!
Chen Xiao was overjoyed!
He chose to light up the technology tree!
[Congratulations on obtaining: Controlled Nuclear Fusion] Expand the technology tree
¡¾Technology tree: medical biology (lighted up); physical and chemical machinery (lighted up); computer information (lighted up); communication technology (lighted up); intelligent organisms (lighted up)¡¿

[Expand physical and chemical machinery: 1. Ordinary lithium battery technology (LV20), 2. Power system (LV2), 3. Controllable nuclear fusion (LV1)]
[Expand Intelligent Creatures: 1. Biochip (LV1)])
After obtaining this huge amount of influence, Chen Xiao successfully unlocked the nuclear fusion technology,
"Controllable nuclear fusion!!" Chen Xiao was very pleasantly surprised. Nuclear fusion technology can be said to be the future of human energy.
If nuclear fusion technology is developed, human beings will have inexhaustible and inexhaustible energy.
Nuclear fusion can generate clean and safe electricity in a sustainable manner
All countries in the world regard nuclear fusion as the next generation of energy, and Europe invested 20 billion euros to jointly fund the construction of the nuclear fusion experimental device of the ITER program.
Countries with energy shortages like Toyo pay more attention to the research of energy revolution, and have invested nearly 4.4 trillion yen in total.
And Xia Guo has also started research on "artificial sun" in recent years. Although surprising breakthroughs have been made, there is still a considerable distance from the development of controllable and sustainable nuclear fusion.
At present, the mainstream research direction in various countries is the magnetic confinement fusion (MCF) proposed by Lao Maoxiong, which uses a magnetic field to confine the plasma of light elements such as hydrogen to achieve a high enough temperature and density to achieve nuclear fusion reactions.
For example, Xiaguo's tokamak device has been able to sustain ignition for more than 1,000 seconds, which is very leading in the world.
However, this approach has many disadvantages, and building and operating a large tokamak requires a lot of energy.
Moreover, the tokamak device needs to withstand extremely high temperature, pressure and radioactivity levels during operation, which puts forward high requirements on the characteristics and durability of materials. The current level of material science cannot meet these needs.
And after Chen Xiao read the instruction manual of the technology tree in detail, he found that the obtained technology perfectly overcomes these shortcomings.
Because the current production of energy blocks mainly relies on solar energy, although the efficiency is not bad, but it depends on the sky.
If there is controllable nuclear fusion, then the Xia country's energy problem will be solved.
Just as he was thinking about future technology, Chen Xiao suddenly received a call from Wang Xiang: "I just received urgent news from the northwest region. There have been strong sandstorms and heavy snowfall in the northwest region for two consecutive months, and the production of energy blocks has been greatly reduced."?On the downside, building and running a large tokamak requires a lot of energy.
