(Shanghai News) Apple's number of employees in Foxconn Science and Technology Park, the largest foundry in Zhengzhou, has decreased significantly compared with last year; nearby commercial streets are also scarce, and some shops have hung lease and transfer information.
According to the "First Financial" report, Yukang New Town (hereinafter referred to as "New Town"), located in Lingkong Street, Airport District, Zhengzhou City, is a supporting living area of Foxconn Science and Technology Park.Commercial activities in the city are also regarded as one of the barometers of the park operations.
Li Xian, who had opened a noodle restaurant in Commercial Street, said that when the number of employees stayed in the new city in the past few years, his noodle restaurant business was very good. The daily turnover was more than 2,000 yuan (RMB, the same below, about S $ 400).
Recently, the lively scenes of the commercial pedestrian street in the new city have no longer existed, and the shops on both sides are almost closed behind closed doors.
The main reason for the status quo of the new city is because the number of employees in Foxconn Zhengzhou Science and Technology Park has decreased.Feng Jian, a warehouse operator who has worked in Foxconn for nearly 10 years, said that in the past, Foxconn had nearly 100,000 people living and living in Xincheng during the peak of labor.
Many Foxconn employees said that even if they are not compared with the number of employees at the peak period, the number of Foxconn employees who are still on the job today is only 670,000.Qian Qian who worked in the surrounding departments of Foxconn said: "Now people are more than half less than before."
Qian Jun said that March and April of previous years was the off -season, but this year's off -season people were much less than in previous years.He believes that the reasons for the decrease in the number of local workers include that employees have not returned after leaving; the reduction in order causes the workload; Foxconn reduces some production capacity after the production capacity is transferred.
According to the Wall Street Journal, China's sealing control measures last year have caused the production of the Foxconn Zhengzhou plant.After that, Apple asked Foxconn to speed up the production line to India, Vietnam and other places to decentralized risks.
At present, Zhengzhou Airlines Port Area is also recruiting more companies to get rid of excessive dependence on Foxconn.According to the plan, Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD will invest nearly 10 billion yuan in the Hong Kong area to build a new plant with a annual output of millions of vehicles.
