Coastline Company Headquarters, senior conference room.
"This time Apple and other high-end manufacturing chains have been severely punished. Old and American high-tech companies in Greater China may have to re-evaluate their trade-offs, especially Apple. Cook is probably scared to death by this wave of backpay.
We need to move the factory back to North America."
"It seems that as Mr. Ye predicted, the driving force for high-end manufacturing to return to China has already begun."
"If Apple moves its factory back to North America, its operating costs will inevitably increase significantly, and its high profits will take a big hit."
At this time, Ye Hua was sitting in the chief CEO position in the conference room. Qiao Wei, He Hao and other senior executives were also present. It can be said that the source of the big events that happened recently was the Coastline Company.
The real trendsetters are here.
Ye Hua looked around and saw that the senior management present at the meeting were all quite relaxed. They were all quite gloating when they talked about how American high-tech companies like Apple had been cheated both internally and externally recently.
Speaking of which, Cook is reluctant to move the factory out of Greater China. If he moves, he will have no choice but to return to North America. The industrial base in Europe is fine, but why not move back to the United States? The cost
They are almost the same, labor costs in Europe are even more expensive than in North America.
As for other emerging market countries, the cost is indeed low, but their industrial infrastructure simply does not have the capacity to consume. If we really want to relocate the production lines to those emerging market developing countries, can the products produced be used?
Then there is only one choice, go back to the United States!
However, Ye Hua doubts that Americans can have the hard-working spirit. Maybe by then all workers in North American factories will be Chinese, because Europeans and Americans will never be able to stand that kind of hard work.
At this point, if Cook or Apple’s internal bosses don’t understand that this is a two-man show, they might as well hit the wall head-on.
At the beginning, Cook and Apple's internal analysis team were racking their brains to analyze why the Chinese were so decisive in driving away high-end manufacturing in the United States. Where did the confidence come from?
Cook was thinking from his perspective. If Apple withdraws its production lines from Greater China, who will fill the gap? If it cannot be filled, thousands of suppliers originally attached to Apple's supply chain will be starved.
death, further leading to increased unemployment.
This is also the real reason why Cook understands why bilateral trade disputes have continued over the years, but the Chinese have never swung the big stick at Apple's head, but now, this thick stick is coming directly.
This signal made Cook realize that the Chinese have found a replacement, who can replace Apple or the successor after American high-end manufacturing withdraws from Greater China.
When Cook shifted his thinking to this level, an answer was about to come out!
Currently, only Coastline Company has the ability to replace Apple's vacancies, because PHC has the ability to undertake Apple's industrial chain. 20 million sets of PHC equipment can directly generate an output value of more than 900 billion yuan. For those suppliers who have lost Apple customers
For example, the equipment can be immediately replaced and transferred to Coastline Company to supply PHC.
Although this will involve a large cost investment, due to the large order volume of PHC, even taking orders from Coastline Company is more profitable than taking orders from Apple, and there is no need to worry about running out of work, which means that the bosses of the manufacturer
Just dare to invest a lot of money to upgrade and transform. If you don't have money, you can go to the bank for a loan.
After figuring this out, Cook knew that Apple no longer had any bargaining chips and could only admit defeat. It would fall for the North American authorities' dirty tricks and would be beaten up by the Chinese. Cook's
My heart really hurts, don't let it go.
"It is inevitable for Apple to move its production lines. The original reason for moving the factory to Greater China was to reduce labor costs. However, after such a wave of fines, it was all in vain. Cook must not be able to bear it." In the conference room, Ye Hua smiled.
He said: "So we must hurry up and take over the 'legacy' left by Apple. He Hao, you are in charge of this."
"clear!"
It takes a long time to build a mature ecological supply chain system from scratch. The ecological chain of phc is mainly composed of two major modules. One is the software ecosystem with phc-store application store as the core, and the other is
An entity ecological supply chain system with PHC machine as the core.
A healthy and complete PHC ecosystem requires these two sectors to run in parallel. This positive cycle is like the double helix structure of DNA. Only such a structure 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. Now that Apple has left, a group of manufacturers that were originally attached to Apple's ecological chain are left in a state of confusion. They are
One of the most panicked people in the country, because their parents have left for food and clothing, and they will be weaned soon, and they will no longer be able to survive this life.
At this time, of course a savior is needed to shine.
Ye Hua said that there is no one else in Coastline Company.
It is foreseeable that in the near future, those manufacturers that originally supplied Apple's supply chain will not hesitate to take off their "vests" with the Apple logo and put on a new one when Coastline Company comes out to cheer them up.
Brand new new "vest" with dolphin icon.
And this, for Coastline Company, the establishment of the PHC physical ecological chain supply system will be shortened from the original expected three years to about half a year. This is a valuable "legacy" left after Apple leaves, and only Ye
Hua can receive it, but others do not have the ability or need. Only Coastline Company has the ability and need.
How important the timeliness and speed of information is is once again perfectly explained. The outside world is now very noisy. Some people are happy about this wave of national operations, and some are worried about it. After all, Apple has been expelled.
If we leave, many people will lose their jobs.
Many people still hold on to the illusion that things will definitely turn around, but in fact Coastline Company has already begun preparations to receive the "gift" left by Cook.
As the saying goes, prepare in advance and 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 lines out of Greater China and settle in North America.
.
Apple cannot withstand the pressure from both sides. Naturally, China has not explicitly stated that it wants to drive away Apple. After all, it is a market economy country, but a wave of back taxes and fines, as well as subsequent uncertainties and unpredictable risks, etc.
, prompted Apple to make this decision, because Cook already understood that if he didn't leave, he would be tricked.
It's true that falling flowers are intentional and flowing water is ruthless, wishful thinking is not advisable.
At this time, manufacturers in Apple's supply chain are jumping around one by one. Although Apple's production lines will not be withdrawn immediately, they will soon be out of work and orders, so they will have to find new jobs.
If you can't find one, you can only lay off people, go bankrupt, or lose your job.
Just as manufacturers in the major Apple supply chains were looking for new business opportunities, they immediately discovered that a large number of orders from Coastline Company were being distributed crazily. The minimum amount for a single business was 60 to 70 million yuan, and the value was hundreds of millions.
The number of orders is also vast.
Coastline Company's demand for PHC production capacity is simply in short supply. The existing suppliers under Coastline Company are simply too busy and their production capacity cannot keep up.
At this time, those manufacturers in Apple's supply chain seemed to have suddenly found a lighthouse in the dark night. By the end of April, Coastline Company's threshold was almost crossed by countless manufacturers.
