Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. Foxconn, a subsidiary of Hon Hai Precision in Taiwan Province Province, China, 1988 has invested in the mainland for 30 years, while Huawei was founded by 1987, and now it has been 3 1 year. Both companies have benefited from China's reform and opening up, the policy of special economic zones and China's vast market.
People often compare the two companies. 10 years ago, Huawei mostly chose to recruit people from Foxconn, because Foxconn, as a cooperative customer of many electronic products, knew the manufacturing process and requirements of the most advanced mobile phones in the world. Presumably, this is why Huawei is willing to accept people who have jumped from Foxconn. Now Foxconn and you are willing to accept people who jump out of Huawei, because this aircraft carrier needs to change blood and move forward.
As a world manufacturing giant, Foxconn OEM many first-line brands of mobile phones, from Nokia, Ericsson and ZTE to Apple, Xiaomi, Huawei, Samsung, Google, VIVO, OPPO and so on. This is enough to prove Foxconn's world-class manufacturing capability. It is said that mobike was also made by Foxconn. (Compared with other bicycles, the quality of mobike is not bad. ). Although Foxconn has set up factories and invested in several cities in Chinese mainland in recent years with the expansion of its business, its parent company Hon Hai's ranking among the world's top 500 enterprises has also increased year by year (ranking 24th among the world's top 500 enterprises in 20 18 and 27th among the world's top 500 enterprises in 20 17). It can be said that there are only a handful of central enterprises in China.
However, the wind and water have turned, and now Foxconn is struggling. As the head of the group, President Guo Taiming is also making every effort for the future transformation of the group. However, it is difficult for the ship to turn around, and Foxconn's road to transformation is not smooth. Flying Tiger Tesco, an online shopping platform, was established on 20 10. At that time, the JD.COM platform had just officially started to operate. 20 16, a century-old Japanese brand Sharp was bought by huge sums of money, and with the help of Sharp, it started its own brand breakthrough. However, its "expensive but not expensive" business strategy runs counter to the image of Sharp's high-end brand. Therefore, after winning a certain market share with a low price strategy, Sharp, who wants to return to a high-end brand, has a long way to go. Therefore, although these two transformations cannot be said to be failures, they are indeed not successful. Now Foxconn is betting on the industrial internet. Its subsidiary Industrial Fulian also entered the A-share market this year. While being widely praised as "unicorn" and "the largest A-share technology stock", it broke soon after opening. The outside world's understanding of Foxconn is still stuck in the impression of "jumping off a building" and "OEM". But OEM is also technical, and it can't be done casually. If other companies can do it, according to Apple's strategy, the cost can be reduced and handed over to other companies. Nowadays, the Apple series is not accepted by the market, and Sino-US trade frictions continue. Foxconn has been pushed to the forefront of public opinion from time to time, and it is difficult to escape. Foxconn's road to transformation is more difficult than expected.
? On the other hand, Huawei is slowly rising on the world stage, but the road to its rise is not smooth. Western countries tried every means to obstruct and attack again and again. The meaning revealed by Ren's interview with reporters has proved that Huawei is so powerful that its opponents need illegal means to get in the dark. All this is attributed to Huawei's wolf corporate culture and the wisdom of leaders. In this era of strong hands, wolf culture lives at the top of the food chain with fast, ruthless and accurate means, and so does Huawei. In the eyes of most people, Huawei is known for its high welfare. At the end of each year, the news will push the news that Huawei's per capita annual income is hundreds of thousands and millions. High salary naturally requires high salary, and Huawei's overtime culture is also well known. Every evening, in the brightly lit building, busy figures also remind Huawei people's bodies. Many people say that as long as the money is in place, they can accept endless overtime. But is this really the case?
The 5G era must belong to Huawei. Although the outside world is ups and downs, this is an era of speaking by strength. Huawei's precautions can finally shine in the 5G era, but the process is difficult. The arrival of a great era is bound to be difficult, as the saying goes, it is difficult to rejuvenate the country through hardship.
Huawei and Foxconn are both respectable enterprises; Ren He is a respectable entrepreneur. They are kings of different times. The decline of one era is bound to be the rise of another. Their success also indicates that the development of China has entered a new journey from an era, and we have no successful experience to learn from, so we have to explore it by ourselves.
