Podcast appearances and mentions of Terry Gou

Al radar viene hoy una de las empresas más protagonistas del viernes: Foxconn. El mayor fabricante de productos electrónicos presentó sus resultados correspondientes a 2024: ganó un 7% más que en 2023. Esto se debió sobre todo a la mejora de los ingresos, ya que aumentó un 11% más gracias a la demanda de componentes de inteligencia artificial. Aunque esto no le trajo buenas noticias en el mercado. Primero, porque las cuentas del cuarto trimestre estuvieron por debajo del consejo de analistas. Los expertos consideraban que la compañía iba a obtener un beneficio neto de 54.000 millones cuando apenas llegaron a 46.000. Esto supuso un descenso del 13% en comparación con el año anterior. Todo esto le trajo caídas al cierre en sus acciones del 6%. Aún así, el mayor activo de la compañía son sus poderosos, uno de ellos NVIDIA. El 8 de octubre del año pasado la compañía, junto con Foxconn, anunció que construirá una fábrica para el ensamblaje de los chips de última generación de NVIDIA, los GB200. “Construiremos la mayor fábrica de GB200 del mundo”, así de emocionado se encontraba en la presentación de NVIDIA del pasado 8 de octubre Benjamin Ting, vicepresidente senior de Foxconn. Será la mayor fábrica del mundo. La inteligencia artificial es vital para la compañía, aunque como recalca el CEO de Foxconn, Hon Hai, la mayor importancia sigue residiendo en el cliente final. Aunque los grandes socios de Foxconn no solo son empresariales. Hay grandes potencias detrás de sus operaciones. El 28 de noviembre de 2023, la compañía anunció una inversión de 1450 millones de euros en dos fábricas, aunque no ha sido una operación ideal. De hecho, el pasado 10 de enero, la empresa tuvo que parar de enviar trabajadores chinos y en su lugar cambiarlos por taiwaneses. Sólo trece días después, el organismo de control de la India criticó la política de las contrataciones de Foxconn y ordenó una nueva investigación. La compañía no contrata mujeres casadas. Foxconn fue fundada en 1974 por Terry Gou, un fabricante de componentes electrónicos taiwaneses. La compañía trabaja para Sony, Apple o Microsoft. En la historia de la empresa siempre ha habido mucha controversia por la forma de tratar a sus trabajadores en China. Una de las últimas ocurrió el pasado 5 de noviembre: algunos trabajadores de Henan Foxconn se desmayaron después de tener programado trabajar 20 días consecutivos con solo un día libre.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 23-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 17,523 on turnover of $2.5-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan closed slightly higher Monday after investors rebuilt their positions with political uncertainties removed following the presidential election over the weekend. The bellwether electronics sector led the upturn as investors resumed buying after the election, while power development-related developers and biotech stocks also moved higher on expectations that the ruling DPP, which won the presidential vote, would continue to lend them support. 2 men indicted for signature buying in Pingtung County Two suspects, including a Pingtung ward chief, were indicted Monday by prosecutors for buying signatures for business tycoon Terry Gou to help him reach the level of endorsement (揹書) needed to run in Taiwan's Jan. 13-th presidential election. The Pingtung District Prosecutors Office says the ward chief, identified by his last name Chiu, was found to have paid his wife, and another man $200 NT apiece for their signatures late last year, Chiu and the other man then worked with four others to gather over 30 signatures. The two men are facing charges of "arranging bribes to compel a person to sign the candidacy petition of a specified individual." Iran Launches Strikes Against Iraq Iran says it launched strikes against a “spy headquarters and the gathering of anti-Iranian terrorist groups” shortly after missiles hit an area near the U.S. consulate in Irbil, the seat of Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdish region. Regional political figures said one of the strikes killed a prominent (著名的、重要的) local businessman with a portfolio that included real estate and security services companies, along with members of his family. Soon after, Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they had struck “terrorist operations,” including Islamic State targets in Syria “and destroyed them by firing a number of ballistic missiles.” Another statement said they had hit a headquarters of Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, in the Kurdish region of Iraq. Poland PM Announces Elections Poland's new Prime Minister Donald Tusk said crucial elections to choose city mayors and provincial and county administration leaders would be held April 7, with a runoff April 21. The elections, announced Monday, will test the new pro-European Union coalition government's popular support, just six months after it won parliamentary elections. Tusk and his Cabinet took office last month, vowing to restore the importance and powers of city mayors and local governments which the previous right-wing government sought to limit. Local administrations suffered slashed (削減) funding and stalled projects and investments. Tensions between the new government and the previously ruling Law and Justice party have escalated with the latter blocking proposed bills in parliament. Pope Not Planning on Retirement Pope Francis insists that he is not thinking about retiring at the moment. With the 87-year-old suffering from (遭受) a number of health issues last year, there has been speculation that he could step back from his role, as his predecessor Benedict the Sixteenth did in 2013.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 29-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 17,239 on turnover of 2.6-billion N-T. The market's recent gains were halted on Monday, as the main board ended unchanged amid high technical resistance. Large cap tech stocks trended lower throughout the trading day preventing the broader market from moving higher, while the tourism sector also came under heavy pressure. Gou Campaign Says 'Anything Possible' After Ko Meeting A spokesman for Terry Gou's presidential campaign office says "anything - including a potential joint ticket - is possible" following a meeting with Taiwan People's Party presidential nominee, Ko Wen-je. Spokesman Huang Shih-hsiu said K-M-T Chairman Eric Chu's dealings with Ko mirrored the "promise-breaking and breach (違反) of trust" he had engaged in … when Gou unsuccessfully sought the party's presidential nomination in May. Huang says given those actions, "the K-M-T may be on its own" in the election. However, Gou's campaign office spokesman has refused to give any concrete details of the meeting with Ko. Over 100 German Students Apply for 30 TSMC Training Slots The Dresden University of Technology says more than 100 German students have applied for 30 spots on a Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing-backed training program. The university said a total of 124 students from universities in the state of Saxony in eastern Germany applied for the training program… Students will depart (出發) for Taiwan in February and begin their study in a Taiwanese university to learn basic semiconductor theories in March. They will then spend time at T-S-M-C's training center for newcomers and work in the chipmaker's factory for two months from June. The training program was announced shortly after T-S-M-C made public its plans to set up a 12-inch wafer fab in Dresden. Australia PM reveals "dangerous encounter" between Chinese, Australian warships Australia's prime minister has criticized China for what he calls a “dangerous” encounter between Chinese and Australian warships but declined to say whether he raised the issue with President Xi Jinping. He said one diver was injured when a Chinese destroyer used sonar (聲波定位儀) while near an Australian frigate in international waters last Tuesday. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese spoke with Xi last week on the sidelines of an Asia-Pacific leaders' summit in San Francisco. Albanese says his discussions with Xi were private rather than a formal bilateral meeting. China's Defense Ministry dismisses Australia's allegations as “completely untrue.” Citigroup continues layoff plan Citigroup has begun a major overhaul of its management structure with sweeping layoffs expected.

We talk the latest news about the KMT-TPP election alliance, Terry Gou submitting his 2024 signature petition, the DPP crying foul over the possible choice of a China-born party list candidate and more.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened marginally higher this morning from yesterday's close, at 16,257 on turnover of 2.8-billion N-T. The market tumbled more than 180-points on Monday to reach its lowest level in five months after Wall Street took a hit at the end of last week on the back of a spike in Treasury yields. The bellwether electronics sector dragged prices lower, especially large cap stocks, as rising Treasury yields made tech stocks and their relatively low dividends less attractive. DPP Accuses China of Pressuring Terry Gou with Hon Hai Probe In news from and about Taiwan this morning, The D-P-P is accusing Beijing of opening "politically motivated" investigations into Hon Hai in an attempt to pressure Terry Gou into abandoning his independent bid for the presidency. According to the party's legislative caucus, the investigations are part of efforts by Beijing to push for and accelerate (加速) the cooperation of Taiwan's opposition parties. The statements follow reports that tax authorities in China recently searched Hon Hai offices in Guangdong and Jiangsu provinces, while the Ministry of Natural Resources inspected the company's offices in Henan and Hubei provinces. Gou has not publicly respond to the reports. NAMR Succeeds in Cultivating Giant Seaweed Species The National Academy of Marine Research says it has successfully cultivated two types of native giant seaweeds. According to academy, the success in cultivation of the macroalgae species will enable it to restore some marine habitats, give it a stable supply of seedlings (幼苗) and the ability to enhance ocean carbon sinks. And as part of the project, researchers collected 48 native species of large seaweeds in waters off southern Taiwan and moved the fresh algae to land-based tanks for cultivation in large amounts. Hamas Releases Two Hostages The International Committee of the Red Cross says Hamas militants have released two hostages it had been holding captive in the Gaza Strip. It was the second time the group has freed hostages seized in its bloody Oct. 7 cross-border incursion (侵入) into Israel. The two freed women, 85 and 79 years old, were taken out of Gaza at the Rafah crossing into Egypt, where they were put into ambulances. Hamas reportedly received nothing in exchange for the release of the two hostages, who were freed days after an American woman and her teenage daughter A U.S. official said Monday that Washington has advised Israel to delay a possible ground invasion to allow more time to try and secure the release of more hostages. US Senator Pleads Not Guilty to Foreign Agent Charge US Senator Bob Menendez has pleaded not guilty to conspiring to act as a foreign agent for the Egyptian government. The lawmaker appeared in a Manhattan court on Monday for a brief hearing, which lasted less than five minutes. Last month the lawmaker pleaded not guilty to accepting bribes to benefit Egypt and interfere with law enforcement (執法官員) investigations. Sally Patterson has more.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. **Tai-Ex opening ** The Tai-Ex opened flat this morning from yesterday's close, at 16,581 on turnover of 2.3-billion N-T. The market closed almost flat on Wednesday as early gains were eroded amid investor caution ahead of the release of August's U-S consumer price index.

Gou introduced Lai at a press conference at 8:35 a.m. and touted her experiences in communication skills, adding that her female perspective will be beneficial (有利) for him to promote gender equality. Due to a lack of party affiliation, Gou still needs to collect signatures from about 290,000 people between Sept. 19 and Nov. 2 to make it onto the ballot, according to rules set by the Central Election Commission. Gou is required to register his independent candidacy with the CEC no later than Sept. 17 before his campaign can begin the signature drive.

Le portrait éco de ce vendredi 1er septembre nous emmène à Taïwan, l'île démocratique où le richissime homme d'affaires Terry Gou, ancien PDG du géant industriel Foxconn, a annoncé en début de semaine son intention de se présenter à la présidentielle de 2024.  Terry Gou est le fondateur et l'ex-PDG du géant industriel Foxconn. Il a fait fortune en Chine et il rappelle aux observateurs un certain président américain... « J'ai décidé de me porter candidat à l'élection présidentielle 2024 », a-t-il annoncé.Difficile, en voyant Terry Gou au moment de faire sa déclaration de candidature, de ne pas penser à Donald Trump, et pas seulement parce qu'il arrive coiffé d'une casquette. Il a 72 ans, deux ans de plus que l'ancien président américain quand il a été élu à la Maison Blanche, et lui aussi se verrait bien bousculer le système politique de son pays.Ja-Ian Chong est professeur associé en sciences politiques à l'université nationale de Singapour :« Il y a des similitudes : comme Trump, c'est un homme d'affaires qui a réussi, il n'a pas vraiment d'expérience politique, il fait campagne et il se vend en disant qu'il est riche parce qu'il sait diriger une entreprise et que s'il sait diriger une entreprise,  il saura gouverner un pays », explique Ja-Ian Chong, professeur associé en sciences politiques à l'université nationale de Singapour.Justement, sa fortune, parlons-en...Elle est évaluée à plus de 7 milliards de dollars. Il la doit largement à Foxconn, l'entreprise qu'il a fondée, spécialisée dans la fabrication industrielle de matériel électronique. Ses clients s'appellent Apple, Blackberry, Nokia, Amazon... Foxconn est l'une des 20 entreprises les plus profitables au monde. C'est une multinationale qui a la particularité d'être basée à Taïwan et d'avoir parmi ses clients de grandes multinationales américaines, mais l'essentiel de ses usines en Chine.C'est un atout ?Terry Gou le pense. À propos de la casquette qu'il portait au moment de se déclarer candidat : dessus, il y avait le drapeau de Taïwan, accompagné des trois lettres R.O.C. pour Republic of China (République de Chine). C'est le nom officiel de Taïwan, mais c'est surtout un signal envoyé à Pékin : lui ne cherchera pas à bousculer le statu quo. Alors que la Chine menace régulièrement d'envahir Taïwan, Terry Gou est partisan d'un rapprochement avec Pékin et accuse le DPP, le parti nationaliste au pouvoir, d'avoir provoqué les tensions actuelles en se rapprochant de Washington.« Face à la détérioration des relations de part et d'autre du Détroit de Taïwan, et des relations entre la Chine et les Etats-Unis, Taïwan ne doit pas devenir une nouvelle Ukraine, et je ne laisserai pas Taïwan devenir une nouvelle Ukraine ! », a-t-il clamé.Comment est-ce qu'il entend s'y prendre ?Terry Gou compte sur les bonnes relations qu'il entretient avec les autorités chinoises issues de son expérience à la tête de Foxconn.« Il a pu ouvrir des usines de plusieurs milliers d'ouvriers un peu partout en Chine, ça prouve qu'il a réussi à établir une relation de confiance avec les autorités chinoises, au moins au niveau local. Mais attention, on voit que la Chine aujourd'hui n'hésite plus à s'en prendre aux entreprises, y compris les entreprises de la tech, y compris les entreprises étrangères. Donc la question, c'est de savoir si ces connexions qu'il a établies dans le passé peuvent encore lui servir aujourd'hui », reprend Ja-Ian Chong.Reste que si son principal argument est de gouverner Taïwan comme il a dirigé Foxconn, il y a de quoi s'inquiéter, selon Ja-Ian Chong : « Son succès en Chine, il le doit à ses énormes usines associées à des suicides d'ouvriers du fait des mauvaises conditions de travail. Il y a eu des mouvements de protestation et Terry Gou a reçu l'aide du gouvernement chinois pour les réprimer. Donc s'il veut diriger Taïwan comme il a dirigé ces usines, les électeurs vont peut-être y réfléchir à deux fois. »Et puis, Terry Gou n'est pas le seul candidat d'opposition...Non, il est persuadé de pouvoir convaincre ses adversaires de ranger derrière lui. Mais pour l'instant, dans les sondages des quatre candidats déclarés, il est bon dernier.

Military officers in oil-rich Gabon said they had seized power, US commerce secretary Gina Raimondo wrapped up a visit to China, and the billionaire founder of Apple supplier Foxconn is running for president of Taiwan. Mentioned in this podcast:Fed warned Goldman Sachs over risks and compliance oversight at fintech unitMilitary leaders seize power in oil-rich GabonUS commerce secretary hails ‘new approach' to handling China business frictionsFoxconn founder Terry Gou launches bid for Taiwan presidencyCorrection: An earlier version of this episode said hat Terry Gou, the Taiwanese tycoon and Foxconn founder was running for president with an opposition party closely aligned with China. That was a mistake. Gou has urged opposition parties to join forces with him in the forthcoming election, but they haven't agreed to do so. And Taiwan's opposition parties are not closely aligned with China, although they do favour an easing of tensions with Beijing.Looking for a fresh perspective on the news?

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. **Tai-Ex opening ** The Tai-Ex opened up 19-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 16,528 on turnover of 1.9-billion N-T. The market closed slightly higher on Monday as large-cap semiconductor stocks lent support to the broader market, despite the lose of early gains amid lingering (揮之不去) concerns over global inflationary pressure. However, artificial intelligence development-related stocks came under pressure, which capped the upturn on the main board - that, after Nvidia shares tumbled more than 2-per cent on Wall Street at the end of last week. **KMT Describe's Gou's 2024 Decision as "Deeply Regrettable" ** The K-M-T is describing Terry Gou's plans to run as an independent candidate in January's election as being "deeply regrettable (遺憾的)." In a statement released hours after Gou announced his decision, the K-M-T accused the Hon Hai founder of "reneging on an earlier promise" to help its presidential candidate Hou Yu-ih win the 2024 election. The K-M-T also warned that party members who publicly show support for Gou's presidential bid will be subject to disciplinary measures. However, the party went on to say that it hopes that Gou will return to the K-M-T fold one day and join "mainstream efforts to unseat the D-P-P." **Premier Touts Aims Build NT$1 trillion Biotech Industry ** Premier Chen Chien-jen says the government plans to transform the local biotech sector into "Taiwan's next industry" with the aim of generating (產生) 1-trillion N-T in production value. Speaking at the opening ceremony of the 2023 Bio Taiwan Committee, Chen said the Cabinet plans to integrate government resources to map out appropriate policies and laws to boost the speed of the sector's growth. According to Chen, the government is seeking to establish biotech industrial clusters by encouraging more startups to join the sector and attracting more foreign companies to enter the local market. **NKorea Kim Calls for Battle-Ready Military ** North Korea says leader Kim Jong Un has called for his military to be constantly ready for combat to thwart (阻撓) plots to invade his country, as he accused the U.S. of conducting “more frantic” naval drills off the Korean Peninsula. The U.S. and South Korean militaries are holding joint summer exercises that North Korea views as an invasion rehearsal. The allies have insisted the drills are defensive in nature. The report said Kim made the remarks in a speech marking Navy Day on Monday. Kim has been pushing to expand his nuclear arsenal and introduce new weapons systems. He said the navy would become a component of his “nuclear deterrence,” which suggests it would get new nuclear-capable missiles. **Study: Voice Assistance Apps Not Reliable in Emergency ** A new study finds that you don't want to rely (依賴) on voice assistance apps in the event of a medical emergency.

Terry Gou, the founder of Foxconn Technology Group, one of Apple's biggest contract manufacturers, which is also expanding its operations in India, is entering the contest to be Taiwan's next president as an independent candidate, with elections due in 2024. Gou is widely seen as an advocate of Taiwan's return to the “One China” framework and for cross-Strait talks to resume between China and Taiwan that broke down in 2016. While pundits don't expect him to win, a more pro-China government in Taiwan could have some implications for India from geopolitics to the country's nascent EV sector. Intel plans to release a new data centre chip next year, brand named Sierra Forrest, that will handle more than double the amount of computing work that can be done for each watt of power used, Reuters reports.  Asus yesterday refuted a report from earlier this week out of Taiwan that it would pull the plug on its Zenfone series of Android smartphones, 9To5Google reports. Terry Gou, the founder of Foxconn Technology Group, one of Apple's biggest contract manufacturers, which is also expanding its operations in India, is entering the contest to be Taiwan's next president as an independent candidate, with elections due in 2024. While the pundits don't expect the 73-year-old entrepreneur to win, with the current Vice President William Lai of the Democratic Progressive Party seen as the popular candidate, Gou's entry is significant due to his more conciliatory approach towards China. “The era of entrepreneur's rule” has begun, CNBC quoted him as saying at one of the election rally style gatherings he's been addressing lately. “I will definitely not allow Taiwan to become the next Ukraine,” he said at a press conference, Associated Press reported yesterday. Gou founded Foxconn, also known as Hon Hai Precision Industry, in 1974 in Taipei, Taiwan. From making electrical components and parts for television sets, the company has grown to become one of the world's largest and most influential electronics manufacturers for customers including Apple, Microsoft and Sony. In 2022 about 70 percent of $215 billion equivalent of Foxconn's revenue came from China, according to the Wall Street Journal. In an opinion for Washington Post in July, Gou disagreed with what he described as the policy of the current Taiwanese government, under President Tsai Ing-Wen, to walk away from the One-China framework. In his view, Taiwan's long-term future rests with the Chinese. A more pro-China government in Taiwan has significance for India, from giving China greater ability to project its geopolitical power in the Indo-Pacific region to the potential impact on India's electronics supply chain. Foxconn entered India in 2006 and set up its first factory in the country at Sriperumbudur, near Chennai. Today the company's operations range from assembling the latest iPhones to supplying parts for India's electric vehicle startups such as Ather Energy in Bengaluru. The company is investing billions of dollars in India, which is looking to establish its own semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem. Foxconn pulled out of a semiconductor fab partnership with India's Vedanta Group recently, citing delays, which is seen as a bit of a setback for India's ambitions in this sector, but the Taiwanese company has said it remains committed to growth in India.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. **Tai-Ex opening ** The Tai-Ex opened marginally higher this morning from yesterday's close, at 16,440 on turnover of 2-billion N-T. The market gained ground on Tuesday, as artificial intelligence development-related stocks led the market higher following a surge in Nvidia shares on Wall Street overnight. The bellwether electronics sector served as the main driver for the day's gains. However, the upturn was capped amid lingering investor concerns about the 10-year U-S treasury yield, which some say could make electronics stocks less attractive. Former Miaoli County Magistrate Quits KMT and Throws Support Behind Gou Former Miaoli County Magistrate Hsu Yao-chang has announced that he's quit the K-M-T and will now be supporting Terry Gou's possible run for the presidency. Hsu's resignation comes only days before a deadline set by the party for him to explain why he's been urging supporters not to vote for the K-M-T's Hou Yu-ih, was due to expire (到期). The former Miaoli County Magistrate has been critical in recent weeks of the K-M-T for choosing Hou has its presidential candidate and has also been accusing the K-M-T of corrupted by "backdoor politics" and of "failing to resonate with the general public." **CDC Reporting Second Dengue Fever Death as Local Cases Continue to Climb ** The Centers for Disease Control has confirmed the second dengue fever-related death this year. According to the C-D-C, a woman in her 80s from Yunlin County died on August 15 after being hospitalized for several days with dengue fever-related symptoms. Confirmation of the death comes as the number of domestic dengue fever cases are continuing to rise. The C-D-C says as of August 21, it had recorded 2,135 domestic cases so far this year and that number includes 556 new cases reported in 10 administrative areas (行政區). Most of the new cases are continuing to be reported in Tainan. **Report: Canada Wildfire Made Worse by Climate Change ** A group of scientists has found that climate change caused by humans has made Canada's wildfire season significantly (顯著地，相當數量地) worse. The country is currently experiencing its worst fire season on record. Ira Spitzer reports. **Pakistan Cable Car Rescue ** Army commandos using helicopters and a makeshift chairlift rescued eight people from a broken cable car as it dangled hundreds of meters above a canyon in Pakistan. Authorities said the rescues were completed late Tuesday in a remote, mountainous part of the country. The six children and two adults became trapped when a cable snapped (斷) while they were crossing a river canyon. The children were on their way to school. Video from the final rescues showed a handful of people hanging from a cable as they were pulled to safety through a stand of trees to a waiting crowd. Villagers frequently use cable cars to get around Pakistan's mountainous regions. But the cars are often poorly maintained. Officials say they've ordered safety inspections of the country's cable cars and chairlifts.

Liu Young-way dirige le plus grand sous-traitant d'électronique au monde. Portrait du président du géant taïwanais Hon Hai Technology Group, plus connu sous le nom de Foxconn. Un homme discret à la tête d'une multinationale en pleine restructuration. Foxconn, ça doit vous dire quelque chose, puisque si vous avez un iPhone dans les mains, il y a de grandes chances qu'il sorte de l'une des usines du groupe. Mais ce géant de l'électronique ne se limite pas à Apple, puisqu'il compte aussi comme clients Amazon, Dell, Google, Sony ou encore Xiaomi. En termes de chiffres, Foxconn c'est plus d'un million d'employés en Chine, 200 filiales partout dans le monde, et 206 milliards de dollars de chiffres d'affaires en 2021. Mais celui que l'on connaît bien moins, c'est l'homme qui en est aux commandes. Liu Young-Way, Taïwanais de 66 ans a remplacé, en 2019, le très influent Terry Gou, le fondateur et ex-président de Foxconn. Une nomination obtenue grâce à son expérience, selon Mathieu Duchâtel, directeur du programme Asie à l'Institut Montaigne : « On n'a pas là un employé de Foxconn, on a là quelqu'un qui a été recruté longtemps après du fait de ses propres succès d'entrepreneur. C'est du fait de cette expertise, en particulier dans la conception des semi-conducteurs, que Liu Young-way a été nommé directeur de la branche semi-conducteurs de Foxconn, avant d'être sélectionné pour être le successeur de Terry Gou. » C'est maintenant sur les épaules de Liu Young-Way que repose le poids de la transformation stratégique de Foxconn, avec l'orientation sur de nouvelles industries. Des défis de taille Jusqu'ici, ce diplômé de génie électrique a parcouru un chemin semé d'embûches. À commencer par la pandémie de Covid-19 qui a bouleversé toute l'industrie et provoqué une pénurie de semi-conducteurs. Un composant essentiel à la base de toutes les technologies produites par Foxconn. Les problèmes d'approvisionnement ont entraîné des retards de livraisons, même si Liu-Young way s'est toujours montré rassurant, parlant d'un impact relativement limité. Une situation d'autant plus difficile avec la politique sanitaire très stricte menée par la Chine. Foxconn a dû faire avec cette politique « zéro Covid » particulièrement mauvaise pour les affaires. Les confinements réguliers, les dépistages quotidiens, les isolements massifs et des primes non payées par l'entreprise ont poussé à bout les ouvriers du groupe. C'était il y a un mois dans la plus grande usine de Foxconn à Zhengzhou. Des milliers d'ouvriers se révoltent et abandonnent leur poste. Conséquence, les ateliers du groupe manquent de bras et la production est paralysée. Cette mobilisation chez le plus grand employeur du secteur privé chinois est devenue le symbole de la montée de la gronde sociale et de l'impact économique de cette politique de restrictions. Si Liu Young-way est resté très silencieux comme à son habitude, il semblerait que Foxconn ait joué un rôle important dans le récent revirement chinois sur sa politique du « zéro Covid ». Diversification Au-delà des pertes économiques, tout ça a poussé Liu Young-way à accélérer la restructuration de Foxconn. Le groupe se diversifie et mise aujourd'hui sur deux nouveaux moteurs de croissance : les semi-conducteurs et les voitures électriques. Liu Young-way a dévoilé en grande pompe les premiers prototypes, il y a quelques semaines. ► À lire aussi : En Chine, le géant de l'électronique Foxconn dit embaucher à nouveau Et l'environnement économique chinois a encouragé Foxconn à ne pas mettre ses œufs dans le même panier. Le groupe continue donc de développer ses activités hors de la Chine. « L'avenir de Foxconn en Chine, c'est sur les véhicules électriques, explique Mathieu Duchâtel. Mais l'avenir de l'activité Apple et de la branche semi-conducteurs de Foxconn, ce sera en dehors de la Chine. » En tout cas, Liu Young-way ne semble pas affaibli par les tempêtes qu'il a traversées. Comme capitaine d'industrie, il se sert de sa discrétion pour se laisser des marges de manœuvre. Une stratégie payante jusqu'ici, qui a permis de maintenir le bateau Foxconn à flot.

Di recente i lavoratori della fabbrica della Foxconn a Zhengzhou, in Cina, hanno protestato, scontrandosi con la polizia e gli addetti alla sicurezza, perché gli erano stati promessi degli stipendi che poi non sono arrivati. La promessa dipendeva da una richiesta: era necessario produrre più velocemente possibile gli iPhone per i mercati occidentali in vista del Natale, quando gli ordini aumentano e bisogna produrne di più. Quella della taiwanese Foxconn e del suo fondatore Terry Gou, di Apple e dei lavoratori cinesi è ormai una storia lunga, fatta di suicidi, proteste, grande visibilità mediatica e poi oblio. Ed è anche una storia che gli operai cinesi hanno provato a raccontare con la letteratura. Gli inserti audio di questa puntata sono tratti da: Foxconn deaths highlight China suicide rates, Al Jazeera, 27 maggio 2010; Mass protest breaks out at Foxconn's iPhone facility in Zhengzhou, The Guardian, 23 novembre 2022; Steve Jobs Foxconn interview, canale Youtube Vincent Douglass, 29 aprile 2013; Steve Jobs introduces iPhone in 2007, canale Youtube John Schroter, 9 ottobre 2011 Learn more about your ad choices.

The company that assembles smartphones for Apple Inc. and other global brands unveiled an electric SUV on Oct. 18 that will be produced for a Taiwanese automaker under a similar contract model. Foxconn Technology Group said the SUV will be sold by Yulon Motor as the Luxgen n7 starting next year. It said the five-seat vehicle should be able to travel 700 kilometers (440 miles) on one charge. No price was announced. Foxconn, also known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., plans to produce electric cars and buses for brands in China, North America, Europe and other markets. It said clients can modify their appearance and features. The venture adds to a crowded global market with electrics offered by almost every established automaker and dozens of ambitious startups. “Hon Hai will certainly redefine the EV industry,” company founder Terry Gou said in a statement. Foxconn, headquartered in New Taipei City, Taiwan, is the world's biggest contract assembler of smartphones and other consumer electronics. Yulon, founded in the 1940s, assembles vehicles for Nissan Motor Co. and other automakers. The company launched its own brand, Luxgen, in 2009. The Luxgen n7 is one of five proposed models for potential customers. Foxconn also displayed a five-seat crossover, the Model B, and a five-seat double-cab pickup truck, the Model V. The company previously announced plans for a sedan developed with Italian design house Pininfarina and an electric bus, the Model T. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

郭台銘台積電各買500萬劑BNT疫苗 傳已達初步協議 https://www.cna.com.tw/news/firstnews/202107030007.aspx 3名知情人士告訴路透社，鴻海集團創辦人郭台銘和台積電今天已達成初步協議，各自購買德國生技公司BioNTech SE 500萬劑新冠疫苗。 台灣政府已嘗試數個月直接向BNT購買疫苗，但指責中國阻礙雙方本於今年初達成的協議。中方否認這項指控。 路透獨家報導，3名消息人士表示，郭台銘和台積電今天與BNT代理商上海復星醫藥達成初步協議並簽署法律文件，各採購BNT疫苗500萬劑。上海復星醫藥與BNT簽有合約，在中國、香港、澳門和台灣銷售COVID-19疫苗。 1名消息人士說，這並非最終合約，仍需一段時間才能完成交易。他說協議簽訂仍需「相關法律文件」才能完成，至於疫苗交貨日期則未具體說明，因全球疫苗仍供應吃緊。 這名消息人士表示，疫苗將由這家德國疫苗製造商直接運送來台。 鴻海集團或上海復興醫藥在非營運時間內，均未回應置評要求。 台積電在簡短電郵聲明中指出，目前仍在洽談爭取疫苗，「目前無法提供進一步資訊」。 BNT也不願發表評論。另1名消息人士則說，德國政府一直表示願意幫助台灣取得BNT疫苗，加快談判速度。 這名消息人士說：「德國政府不願留下一個印象，即他們是在中國施壓下才不出售疫苗給台灣，所以德國政府一直推促這家公司加快與台灣方面的談判。」消息人士指的是BNT。 對於這項說法，德國外交部不願立即置評。 鏡周刊：【BNT買到了】買成了！　鴻海、台積電最快8月進口BNT疫苗 https://www.mirrormedia.mg/story/20210703inv001/ 路透社引述3名消息人士指出，鴻海集團創辦人郭台銘和台積電週五（7/2）與德國生技公司BioNTech代理商復星醫藥達成初步協議，3方已共同簽署採購文件，將各自進口500萬劑BNT疫苗（即輝瑞疫苗）來台，鴻海及台積電2家公司尚未正式回應，但相關人士向本刊透露，2家公司將下週上班日正式發布重訊，公布採購金額及內容，採購的現貨疫苗不會少於一千萬劑，將分批來台，最快第一批貨8月就會從德國原廠進口。 EXCLUSIVE Taiwan's Terry Gou, TSMC reach initial agreements for BioNTech vaccines -sources https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/exclusive-taiwans-terry-gou-tsmc-reach-initial-agreements-biontech-vaccines-2021-07-02/ 台積電、鴻海買BNT有進展？ 陳時中：都還順利 https://www.cna.com.tw/news/ahel/202107030111.aspx 給長輩的AZ疫苗懶人包 https://linshibi.com/?p=39590 高端 聯亞 國產疫苗懶人包 第二期結束就緊急授權可行嗎？ https://linshibi.com/?p=39547 新冠快篩懶人包 普篩 抗體快篩 抗原快篩 https://linshibi.com/?p=36564 新冠肺炎疫情下的防疫須知 常見問題解答FAQ https://linshibi.com/?p=35408 新冠疫苗常見問題懶人包 https://linshibi.com/?p=38945 林氏璧醫師的電子名片 https://lit.link/linshibi 歡迎贊助我喝咖啡 https://pay.firstory.me/user/linshibi Powered by Firstory Hosting

It's a two-man show today and we make it even more casual and sloppy than possible.  In this episode we talk about the rising cult of the entrepreneur and how this has turned into a marketing grift just like "Gurus".  Also, stop being scared about Planning you pansies. PS: Also ignore the brainfart about Terry Gou and TSMC, he owns Hon Hai Foxconn not TSMC.   Intro song by Wataboi - Jungle Juice from pixabay

The CEC preps for future referendums and recalls and weighs in on when Kaohsiung Mayor Han's recall vote will take place, MAC snubs a communist troll, TAIPEI act waits on Donald Trump, coronavirus updates, interesting comments from Terry Gou, and some analysis on the implications of Taiwan's handling of the coronavirus both locally and internationally going forward.

On this episode, hosts Courtney Donovan Smith (石東文) and Michael Turton (麥哲恩) kick off with more amusing and odd gaffes coming from KMT presidential candidate Han Kuo-yu, and allegations of his buying a house for--and is confirmed to have traveled abroad with--a woman who isn't his wife. Han reiterates pledge to reform the KMT, and we look into why his support started to wane earlier this year--and not because of Hong Kong as the international media likes to play it. Foxconn founder Terry Gou is now backing PFP candidate James Soong. Economic news is good on many fronts. DPP spokesperson describes those who support unification with China as treasonous--which would include most of the top people in the KMT--and stokes up KMT fears right in the aftermath of the passage of the anti-infiltration bill, which leads to a discussion of the bill and former president Ma Ying-jeou's comments on it. Finally, we discuss a particularly tasteless campaign ad. Follow along on Report.tw, as we update what we're paying attention to, with quotes and commentary, daily.

Tune in to ICRT for election coverage on Saturday, Donovan will be part of that team reporting from Taichung.

In Episode 306, Tim Culpan, columnist from Bloomberg, joined us in a conversation to discuss the tech cold war. Starting from the definition when the event started with US ban on Huawei, Tim explained how the global technology supply chain will be affected in the process from Foxconn, TSMC to Apple. Tim also offered his perspectives on the recent change in leadership within Foxconn, Alibaba's listing in Hong Kong as a hedge and the impact fo the tech cold war on SoftBank's Vision Fund. Here are the interesting show notes and links to the discussion (with time-stamps included): Tim Culpan (@tculpan, Linkedin, Bloomberg), Columnist at Bloomberg [0:17] Since our last conversation, what have you been up to? [0:31] The Tech Cold War [0:58] You have recently written that May 19 is an important date for the turn of China and US relationship starting with Huawei placed on the ban, why do you characterize it as the tech cold war? [1:03] Is it way past the Thucydides Trap now for US and China? [3:14] With the US and China trade war breaking the global supply chain, particularly its implications to Huawei, Apple, TSMC, Foxconn and many others involved? [3:34]  Is Alibaba’s upcoming listing in Hong Kong Stock Exchange a way to have a hedge against themselves in the US market? [6:32] Let’s start with Foxconn, can you describe the interesting happenings in the Foxconn leadership because of Terry Gou’s decision to run for the Taiwan Presidency and what does it mean for the company? [9:27] Given your understanding of Terry Gou and if he wins, what will he be like as the Taiwan president? [11:25] Does everyone shares Masa’s vision with Vision Fund? [13:50] What does the tech cold war means for SoftBank given that the fund invests in both US and China? [15:51] Are we in a peak SoftBank? [17:29]  What are your thoughts with Masa’s recent floating of an idea to float the Vision Fund public? [18:42] What will we be expecting in the next couple of months or what should we look out for with the tech cold war coming? [19:45] Closing [22:00] Can you recommend a book, movie, podcast or anything else that has recently impact your personal or work life?

Amazon was just awarded a patent designed to allow for delivery drones to double as “surveillance-as-a-service” devices, allowing them to periodically scan your home for open doors, windows, etc. Pretty cool, but it brings up the issue of the vast amount of visual/physical data that autonomous devices (drones or automobiles) will soon be collecting. THIS WEEK's FAST FIVE > Google won't be delivering anymore tablets. Good. > Google isn't as smart as Genius, who proved Google was lifting song lyrics from its site by using straight and curly apostrophes to embed the phrase “red handed” — in morse code — into its song lyrics. > Three EU Central Bankers are claiming oversight of Facebook's new Libra Cryptocurrency. > Huawei may be looking to Russia's Avrora OS to replace Google's Android (and further lessoning it's reliance on US tech). > Terry Gou is a household name (in Taiwan) and his company, Foxconn, a household name around the world.

The Apple vs Qualcomm trial and war is over, and Charles and Mike go over the chain of events and the deal they worked out, as well as Intel's exit (stage left) from the 5G modem business. As usual, Facebook has to own up to yet another security breach, this time affecting scores of millions of Instagram users -- so this seems like the perfect time to announce their own voice spy -- we mean, assistant, right? Amazon and Google kiss and make up, and offer ad-supported "free" music to their respective smart speakers. But there's SO. MUCH. MORE! Not wanting to be left out, Microsoft has its own security breach, Wisconsin officially moves to kill the Foxconn deal (but they might replace it with a better one if Foxconn actually ever does anything there), the iPhone tops smartphone marketshare in the US, and Mike and Charles take a look at the most credible reports of what's next for the fall iPhones this year (spoiler: not 5G, most likely, but it's not important yet). Meanwhile, apparently you can sue over butthurt if you're a shareholder (not a Samsung shareholder mind you ... different rules for Apple, don'cha know), and Apple's environmental stewardship continues to flourish like a hibiscus in a hothouse, and so is Apple's fledgling News+ service. T-Mobile and Apple continue the war on robocalls, but the Sprint merger doesn't look healthy; Terry Gou is leaving Foxconn to run for president of Taiwan; inductive Gen2 Apple Pencil charging could mess with your car keys, and ... are you sitting down? Because you should be sitting down for this, cadets ... the Galaxy Fold should have been kept in the lab longer, because at present its an all-new disaster for "first to market, last to get it right" Samsung. So much news we didn't even get to our usual other segments ... and That Can't Be Right!

Terry Gou, um dos homens mais ricos do mundo, está de olho nas eleições em Taiwan, marcadas para o ano que vem. A coluna de Tanguy Baghdadi analisa as perspectivas do empresário diante das principais potências do mundo, e sua posição diante do pleito de independência da ilha.

Seth and JJ look into the labor and safety concerns at the factories of Apple's primary supplier, Foxconn, in China. After giving a high-level view of Apple and Foxconn, they dive into their problems with Excessive Overtime, Suicides, Low Wages, Illegal Student Labor, Riots, Strikes, and Hazardous Environments. While recognizing that Apple puts a lot of effort into their corporate social responsibility efforts, Seth makes the case that Apple can and should do more.

Apple and AT&T are teaming up to improve cellular service in Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria, with the activation of LTE Band 8.   Amid reports that say only 2 to 3 million iPhone X units will be available at launch, Apple Chief Operating Officer, Jeff Williams, will meet with Terry Gou, Chairman of Foxconn. Whilst it wasn’t revealed what topics would be discussed, they will presumably be looking at ways to deal with the manufacturing bottleneck the upcoming iPhone is facing.    Apple’s Craig Federighi has responded to a customer’s email that was asking whether or not we would see an October keynote event. Federighi simply said, “I think we’re all Keynoted out for the season!”   Apple is being sued by an app developer, Enrique Bonansea, who claims that he came up with the name “Animoji” in 2014, and registered it with the United States Patent and Trademark Office in 2015.

Episode 43: Here's how the elites reach deep into your pocket to rob you. By now, we know how fraud is a business model for Wall Street and other elites. But, it's legalized fraud that hurts us most—rip-offs that are perfectly legal in today's system. Jonathan devotes the entire podcast this week to the big-time scam that is at the heart of the multi-billion FoxConn deal unveiled recently. And, for the first time in the podcast's history (woohoo!), our Robber Baron of the week is a repeat from last week: Terry Gou, FoxConn's billionaire owner.

Episode 42: Sometimes, you have to wonder: are Democratic Party leaders dumb or just ideologically bankrupt? Jonathan talks to a leading abortion rights advocate, Vicki Saporta, about the foolish suggestion floated by some Democratic leaders that the party would not have a litmus test--and, thus, support with money and resources--candidates who are not pro-choice. How stupid is that since womens' reproductive rights are central to the party's platform, not to mention a human right that animates many voters? And speaking of litmus tests, maybe the next step under consideration is to give a pass to Democrats willing to support the massive Republican tax cuts for the rich about to be unveiled any day—and Jonathan digs into key aspects of that future robbery with tax expert Matt Gardner. Our Robber Baron of the week is Terry Gou, the billionaire owner of Foxconn.

MacIver President Brett Healy joined Vicki McKenna live from Thursday's Foxconn Rollout at the Milwaukee Art Museum. Gov. Walker and Foxconn Founder and CEO Terry Gou signed memorandums of understanding agreeing to a mega-deal that invests $10 billion and creates up to 13,000 jobs in Wisconsin.
