Chapter 1379
Because the head of the explosion wants those high-tech companies in his eyes to come back, and we do not want to continue to be subject to others in this area, this time there is the future technology group is a perfect "filler" candidate, so no more worries, decisively kicked some high-end industries into the Xiangjiang River.
After a fierce battle of words, our side said we could make some concessions, from 47.9 billion dollars down to 33.7 billion dollars, of which Apple discounted 1.5 billion dollars, only 20.3 billion dollars to continue to do business.
Cook and these people are still spitting blood, they still can't accept this result, but the arm can't beat the leg, not to mention that both sides sang a double act and were co-opted by their own families.
For the old US, the money was given to us for nothing in fact just plain upset because he feels we made a big profit, simply blood money.
But since it's the money of those who ate it anyway, and it's not coming back, they can only shrug their shoulders.
Although they are not happy that the other side is making a lot of money, they have to do it because it is the only way to force the major high-end industries overseas to come back home.
As long as they can achieve this core goal, they don't care about anything else.
......
Future Technology Group headquarters, senior conference room.
"This time Apple and other industries have been heavily fined, the old American companies here are afraid that they will have to reassess the trade-offs, especially Apple, this wave of back payments Cook is estimated to be scared out of his wits and will definitely have to move his factory back."
"It seems as Li predicted no mistake, the high-end industry back to the country's drive has been launched."
"Move back, operating costs are bound to rise significantly, and its profits will take a considerable hit."
At this time, the conference room Li Linfei sitting in the chief position, Li Bingling, Tang Shan and a host of other senior executives are also all in the list, the recent big event, so to speak the source of the drive is in the future technology group.
Li Linfei looked around the week, the senior management in attendance were quite relaxed, chatting about the recent pitfalls in and out of the old American business, are quite gloating.
That said, Cook is a million times more reluctant to move his factory away from here, and if he does, there is no choice but to go back.
As for other emerging markets, the cost is indeed low, but their industrial base simply does not have the capacity to consume, really relocate the production line to those emerging markets to develop, the products produced can be used?
Then there was only one choice, go back home!
But Li Linfei doubted that they could have that hard-working spirit? Maybe by then the workers inside the factory will all be Chinese, because Europeans and Americans definitely can't stand that kind of hard and tiring work.
At this point in time, if Cook or the bigwigs inside Apple still don't know that this is a double act, then they should just bang their heads against the wall.
At first, their analyst teams were racking their brains to analyse why we were so determined to get rid of them, and what was the source of their strength.
Cook was thinking, if they pulled out the production line, who would fill the gap?
If they can't, then thousands of suppliers who are dependent on them will have to starve to death, leading to further unemployment.
This is the real reason why Cook understands why bilateral trade disputes have continued over the years without the big stick being wielded over his head.
But now the big stick is coming straight at him, a signal that makes Cook realise the point that we have found a replacement to fill the shoes of those who will take over after they are gone.
When he shifted his thinking to this level, an answer came out!
The only one who can fill the gap is the Future Technology Group, as PHC has the strength to take over their industrial chain, not counting the Super Generation phones.
The 30 million PHC devices could generate a direct value of over 900 billion yuan, and for those suppliers who have lost their customers, they would be able to switch immediately to the Future Technology Group to supply PHC.
Although this would be a significant cost investment, due to the volume of orders from PHC, it is even more profitable to take orders from the Future Technology Group than to take orders from them.
And not worrying about the lack of work, that means that those bosses dare to invest a lot of money in upgrading and transforming, and they can go for loans if they don't have money.
Having figured this out, Cook knew that they had no more bargaining chips and had to resign themselves to being slaughtered by some people's dirty tricks and getting a good beating.
"It was inevitable that the production line would be relocated. The original reason for moving the factory here was to reduce labour costs, but this wave of fines has gone down the drain.
In the meeting room, Li Linfei smiled, "So we have to take over this big gift left behind by the other party, General Tang, you take the lead on this."
"Understood!" Tang Shan said.
Chapter 1380
Li Linfei's original expectation was that it would take at least three years to build PHC's physical ecological supply chain system into shape.
But now Apple has gone, leaving a group of manufacturers originally attached to the Apple ecosystem in a daze.
At this time, of course, a saviour is needed, and Li Linfei said that the Future Technology Group is the only one to do so.
It is foreseeable that in the near future, those manufacturers who originally supplied Apple's supply chain will not hesitate to take off their "vests" with Apple's logo and replace them with a new "waistcoat" with a new set of future technology icons when the Future Technology Group comes out to raise its voice.
For the Future Technology Group, the PHC physical supply chain will be built in about six months, down from the three years originally anticipated.
This is a valuable "legacy" left behind after Apple's departure and only Li Linfei can claim it, others do not have the ability or the need, but only Future Technology Group has the ability and the need.
Once again, the importance of the timeliness and speed of information has been perfectly explained, and the outside world is now in an uproar.
Many people are still under the illusion that things are still going to turn around, but in fact the Future Technology Group has already started preparing to receive the "gift" left by Cook.
As the saying goes, it's always better to be prepared.
Soon, those who still had a glimmer of hope in Apple gave up completely, because on the third day, May 13th, Apple officially announced its decision to move its production lines out of Greater China and back to its home base.
Apple could not resist the pressure from both sides. Naturally, China did not explicitly say that it would kick Apple out, as it is a market economy after all.
But a wave of back taxes and fines, as well as the uncertainty of unpredictable risks and so on, prompted Apple to make this decision, because Cook had understood that if it did not leave, it would still be pitted.
It's true that the flowers will fall, and wishful thinking is not desirable. Now, Apple's supply chain manufacturers are jumping all over the place, although Apple's production line will not be removed immediately, but soon there will be no work to do, no single, that has to find new work ah.
If they can't find new work, they will have to lay off staff, close down, and lose their jobs.
In the major Apple supply chain manufacturers around looking for new business opening, immediately found the Future Technology Group side of the massive amount of orders in the crazy spill out, a single business minimum amount are in 60 to 70 million yuan, worth hundreds of millions of orders also more sea to go.
Future Technology Group's demand for PHC's production capacity simply outstripped supply, and the suppliers already under Future Technology Group were simply too busy to keep up with production capacity.
At this time those manufacturers in Apple's supply chain were simply like suddenly finding a lighthouse in the darkness of the night, and by the end of mid-May, Coastline's threshold was being stepped over by countless manufacturers.
By now, although the world seems to have had little reprieve from this, it is sobering to know that the issue of the trade dispute between the two sides has come to an end, except that no one would have expected it to end in this way.
The US has been labelled as a "paper tiger" because of the apparent weakness of the US, not to mention the deeper issues at stake.
The fact is, those who really think the US is a paper tiger and dare to pat it on the butt will definitely end up in a miserable situation.
The only thing is that the US is now in charge of a super pragmatic and it looks humiliating to end it in this way.
But this president is not dull in the head, and as a businessman, he doesn't care about nebulous things, he wants tangible benefits that he can see and touch.
Disobedience? Paper tiger? A Ford-class aircraft carrier to ride in the face and try it out? Strength is the foundation of everything, and a big enough stick in the hand is the hard truth.
The first thing he did with multinational companies that moved their production lines outside of the United States was to talk to them and reason with them, so they cut taxes and subsidies, which is the carrot.
So crazy all kinds of withdrawal group, and then abolished the tpp, tipp to end the thoughts of those multinational companies, the last is the tariff stick, as long as the group of U.S. multinational companies hiding behind China to force back, almost equal to win half.
The three axes were thrown out and now, step by step, Cook's gang has finally been forced into a "desperate situation", all the ways out are blocked, and finally had to return home in disgrace.
He is certainly a calculating and logical person with a strong sense of purpose, and since his re-election, time has advanced to the present day, and he has indeed achieved the ultimate goal of returning the manufacturing industry, especially the high-end industry, to China.
The return of high-end industries is the general trend, and it is right from this point of view, as this is the only way to cultivate "internal strength", but he has still made a huge deviation to create re-employment by returning to manufacturing, which will inevitably lead to ultimate failure.
The future of manufacturing is the era of "manufacturing for dummies", the future of manufacturing knowledge will gradually be taken out, this point was advocated by Li Linfei in his inaugural speech at the World Conference on Artificial Intelligence, and is not a fool's errand.
The old US powers-that-be ignored this and the power of technology. It is also true that, before the presidency, he was a real estate tycoon in the US, and it is only natural that the idea of returning manufacturing to re-employment should be in his head.
It is clear that if the US does not change its strategic direction and continues in this way, after a short boom in manufacturing and re-employment, the future will immediately fall into the trough and will accumulate serious diseases, which is like drinking hemlock to quench their thirst.
However, if they want to make a fool of themselves and practice the Sunflower Code as the Nine Suns, then no one is to blame.
