Chapter 222: The Real Tide Maker
Shoreline Corporate Headquarters, Senior Meeting Room.
"This time, Apple's high-end manufacturing chains have been heavily fined, and high-tech companies in Greater China may have to re-evaluate and weigh, especially Apple, this wave of supplementary payments Cook is estimated to be frightened, and he is determined to move back to North America."
"It seems that as Mr. Ye expected, the driving force for the return of high-end manufacturing to the local area has been started."
"If Apple moves its factories back to North America, its operating costs will inevitably rise significantly, and its high profits will be hit hard."
At this time, Ye Hua sat in the chief CEO position in the conference room, Qiao Wei, He Hao and other executives were all listed, and the big things that have happened recently can be said to be the source of the drive in the coastline company, and the real tide is here.
Ye Hua looked around the week, and the senior management attending the meeting was quite relaxed, and they were quite gloating about the recent cheating of American high-tech companies such as Apple.
Speaking of which, Cook is 10,000 unwilling to move the factory out of Greater China, if he moves, there is no choice but to return to North America, the industrial base of Europe can, but why not move back to the United States, the cost is about the same, Europe is even more expensive than North America's labor costs.
As for other emerging market countries, the cost is indeed low, but their industrial infrastructure simply does not have the capacity to consume, so do they really want to relocate the production line to those emerging market developing countries, and the products produced can be used?
Then there is only one choice, go back to the United States!
However, Ye Hua is very skeptical, can Americans have the spirit of hardship and hard work? Maybe the workers in the North American factories will all be Chinese, because Europeans and Americans will definitely not be able to stand that kind of hard work.
At this time, if Cook or Apple's internal bigwigs don't know that this is a double reed drama, they will simply hit the wall.
At the beginning, Cook and Apple's internal analysis teams were racking their brains to analyze, why did the Chinese people so decisively drive away high-end manufacturing in the United States, where did the confidence come from?
Cook is thinking about it from another perspective, if Apple withdraws its production line from Greater China, who will fill this vacancy? If not, the thousands of suppliers who were originally attached to Apple's supply chain will starve to death, further leading to increased unemployment.
This is also the real reason why Cook understands why the bilateral trade disputes have continued over the years, and the Chinese have never waved the big stick on the apple's head, but now, this thick stick is directly coming.
This signal made Cook realize that the Chinese had found a replacement, which could fill the successor after Apple or American high-end manufacturing withdrew from Greater China.
When Cook shifted his mind to this level, an answer was on the horizon!
To replace Apple's vacancy, only the coastline company has this strength, because PHC has the strength to undertake Apple's industrial chain, 20 million sets of PHC equipment can directly generate more than 900 billion yuan of output value, for those suppliers who have lost Apple's customers, they can immediately replace the equipment and transfer to the coastline company to supply PHC.
Although this will have a large cost investment, due to the large number of orders from PHC, and even the profit of receiving the order from the coastline company is higher than that of receiving the order from Apple, and there is no worry about having no work to do, which means that the bosses of the manufacturer dare to invest a lot of money in the upgrading and transformation, and there is no money to go to the bank for a loan.
After figuring this out, Cook knew that Apple had no bargaining chips for negotiation, so he could only admit that he was planted and slaughtered, planted in the tricks of the North American authorities, and was slaughtered by the Chinese.
"Apple's relocation of the production line is inevitable, originally moved the factory to Greater China to reduce labor costs, but as a result, such a wave of fines went down all the way, and Cook definitely couldn't stand it." In the conference room, Ye Hua smiled and said: "So we have to take over the 'legacy' left by Apple as soon as possible, He Hao, you will take charge of this." ”
"Understood!"
It takes a long time to create a mature ecological supply chain system from scratch, and the ecological chain of PHC is mainly composed of two modules, one is the software ecosystem with the PHC -Store as the core, and the other is the physical ecological supply chain system with the PHC machine as the core.
A healthy and complete PHC ecosystem requires these two tectonic plates to go hand in hand, and this positive cycle is like a double helix structure of DNA, and only such an architecture can make the entire ecosystem full of life and vitality.
Ye Hua's original expectation was that it would take at least three years to build PHC's physical ecological supply chain system, but now Apple is gone, leaving a group of manufacturers who were originally attached to the Apple ecological chain in a state of confusion, they are one of the most panicked people in China, because their parents are gone, or they will be weaned soon, and this day will not be able to pass immediately.
At this time, of course, a savior needs to shine.
Ye Hua said that I am not a coastline company.
It is foreseeable that in the near future, those manufacturers who originally supplied Apple's supply chain will not hesitate to take off the "vest" with the Apple logo on their bodies when the coastline company comes out to raise their arms, and then replace it with a new set of new "vests" with the dolphin logo.
And this, for the coastline company, the construction of the PHC entity ecological chain supply system will be shortened to about half a year compared to the original expectation of three years, this is a valuable "legacy" left by Apple after the departure and only Ye Hua can receive it, others do not have this ability and this need, and only the coastline company has this ability and this need.
How important is the timeliness and speed of information, once again perfectly interpreted, the outside world is now noisy, some are happy for this wave of national operations, and some are worried about this, after all, Apple was driven away, and many people will lose their jobs.
Many people still have the illusion that things must have turned around, but in fact, the Shoreline Company has long been preparing to receive the "gift" left by Cook.
As the saying goes, prepare in advance, be prepared.
Soon, those who still had a glimmer of hope in Apple gave up completely, because on the third day, April 24, Apple officially announced its decision to move its production line out of Greater China and settle in North America.
Apple can't stand the pressure from both ends, Huaxia naturally didn't explicitly say that it wanted to get rid of Apple, after all, it is a market economy country, but a wave of back taxes and fines, as well as the subsequent uncertainty and unpredictable risks, etc., prompted Apple to make this decision, because Cook has already understood, and if he doesn't leave, he will be pitted.
It's really a falling flower, deliberately flowing ruthlessly, and wishful thinking is not advisable.
Although Apple's production line will not be withdrawn immediately, there will soon be no work to do, there will be no list, then you have to find a new job, if you can't find it, you can only lay off the layoffs, the bankruptcy of the bankruptcy, and the unemployment of the unemployed.
Just when the manufacturers in the major Apple supply chain were looking around for new business development, they immediately found that a large number of orders from the coastline company were frantically scattered, and the minimum amount of a single business was six or seven million yuan, and the orders worth hundreds of millions of dollars were also more nautical miles.
Shoreline's demand for PHC production capacity is simply in short supply, and the existing suppliers under Shoreline are simply too busy to keep up.
At this time, those manufacturers in Apple's supply chain were like suddenly finding a lighthouse in the dark night, and by the end of April, the threshold of Coastline Company was about to be broken by countless manufacturers.
