Ashton Chen and Hao Shaowen: an immortal legend of friendship and cooperation in the film circle

In China’s film industry, friendship is like an invisible force, which pushes the creators to explore and innovate constantly. And when such a deep friendship is combined with excellent artistic talent, countless touching stories have been made. Ashton Chen and Hao Shaowen, the star friends who have always attracted much attention, are typical examples. Their friendship is not only the sublimation of personal feelings, but also the beautiful footnote of cooperation again and again in China entertainment circle. This article will discuss how this precious friendship shines brilliantly on the screen through their growth experience and career.

Early experience: from child star to martial arts superstar

Ashton Chen, formerly known as Ashton Chen, was born in 1990. His growth process is like a passionate youth film, full of struggle and persistence. Young Ashton Chen showed a solid foundation of martial arts. At the age of six, he began to practice Shaolin Kung Fu, and with his flexible skills and outstanding performance talent, he quickly made his mark in the martial arts world. As early as 2001, he gained great attention with the film The Legend of Shaolin Temple and became a "martial arts niche" in the eyes of young audiences.

At the same time, Hao Shaowen’s growth process is equally wonderful. As a professional actor and producer, Hao Shaowen was passionate about acting since he was a child. His artistic career began in the troupe, and he became a self-taught talent, and gradually became an outstanding talent with dual identities of director and actor. The two young people are striving for progress in their respective fields. Although they have different backgrounds, they have forged an indissoluble bond because of their common identity as artists.

Career: the interweaving of cooperation and growth

The friendship between Ashton Chen and Hao Shaowen began with a common film project. With Hao Shaowen’s growing talent as a director, he began to care about how to cooperate with Ashton Chen to realize the collision of their artistic dreams. When they first cooperated in the movie Pink Girl, they gathered all the laughter and expectations of the audience. This work not only meets the market demand, but also amazes the audience with their tacit understanding and talent. In the film, Ashton Chen’s humor and courage, coupled with Hao Shaowen’s delicacy and wisdom, make the whole story rich and fascinating, and become a topic that the audience relishes.

As Hao Shaowen said in an interview: "Ashton Chen is not only an excellent actor, but also my friend and partner. Our creative process is like an adventure, full of surprises!" He speaks eloquently, and in every cooperation, both of them can spark, whether it is the discussion of the plot or the interpretation of the role, it seems to have a heart.

The power of friendship: the promise of 200 films

Recently, Hao Shaowen said in a public occasion that he hoped to make 200 films for Ashton Chen, which is undoubtedly a powerful manifestation of their friendship. This remark has aroused widespread concern in the media and made fans express their expectations. They believe that as long as they continue to work together, more unforgettable classics will be created in the future.

As Ashton Chen said, "having such a friend is really the greatest wealth in my life." Through his own experience, he proved how rare and precious true friendship is in the glamorous entertainment circle. In this fast-changing industry, it is really commendable that they have maintained an artistic joint partnership for a long time.

Social relations and external evaluation

The friendship between Ashton Chen and Hao Shaowen is not limited to individuals, and their cooperation also enlarges their social influence. With the release of the works, the expectations of the society for them are also rising day by day. Many people in the industry have said that the cooperation between Ashton Chen and Hao Shaowen will lead a new artistic trend, especially their appeal among young audiences and become the benchmark for a new generation of film lovers.

In this competitive industry, they explained what is the real artistic pursuit with their own strength. At every film conference, the media always combine their friendship with their works and exhaust all praise, believing that this is the best protection and promotion for the contemporary film circle.

Summary: the perfect integration of art and friendship

At the end of the description of Ashton Chen and Hao Shaowen, people can’t help thinking about how the nodes between art and friendship are intertwined. Perhaps it is because of their mutual support and understanding that they can still persist in their creative ideals under the pressure of the industry and the challenge of survival. The tacit understanding between the teacher and his companions is not only reflected on the screen, but also integrated into the daily routine.

"I want to make 200 films", a relaxed and humorous promise, is not only a hope for the future, but also a spiritual portrayal of the two artists facing challenges together and persisting. It is this mentality that has created their brilliant career and lasting friendship.

In the days to come, we expect Ashton Chen and Hao Shaowen to continue to join hands and dedicate more touching works. Let’s look forward to seeing this pair again on the screen and continuing to write their legend.

Accustomed to reading how to "open" modern literary classics through mobile phones.

  The way people read through mobile phones has advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are convenience and large quantity. On the negative side, it may be easy to make thinking fragmented and reading fast food. How long have you been impatient to read the whole book — —

  How to "Open" Modern Literary Classics

  Borges, a famous Argentine novelist, said: "Classics are books that a nation or several nations have decided to read for a long time. They are books that people from generation to generation read with early enthusiasm and mysterious loyalty for different reasons." Since the late Qing dynasty, modern literature has only been more than a hundred years. Compared with the ancient literary classics that have been precipitated for thousands of years, the modern literary classics that have been washed out for more than a hundred years are very different.

  Facing the classics of modern literature,

  What should we do?

  First of all, the simplest thing is to face the work directly. Classics are sometimes daunting, so we should have the sincerity and patience to read them. Secondly, the works will be included in the coordinates of literary history. Place the work in a broader coordinate system instead of understanding it in isolation. Third, look for gaps and prototypes. What is the gap in this work? Where is the unexpected place of the author? Can a work extract a certain prototype until it finds its own way of dialogue with the work? The so-called application method or looking for a gap prototype is an attempt to establish an understanding based on one’s own feelings about the work. Reading classics is actually a way to express ourselves, rather than reading classics as a task. It is the classics that constitute the background color of a person’s humanistic quality. Therefore, classics should eventually return to the way of dialogue between readers and works. When you use all kinds of reading methods freely, you may find your own way to talk about classics. This way belongs to you alone, and no one can take it away.

  Rearrange the order for Chinese literature in the 20th century.

  Lu Xun, Guo Moruo, Mao Dun, Ba Jin, Lao She and Cao Yu (hereinafter referred to as "Lu, Guo, Mao, Ba, Lao and Cao") are six modern literary writers we are familiar with. Until today, our understanding of modern literature is still in the hierarchical order of literary history laid by these six writers. They occupy an important position in the territory of modern literary history. However, according to the classic view of constructivism, their classic pattern is not static.

  The selection of "Top 100 Chinese Novels in the 20th Century" was a literary classic construction activity in the late 1990s. At that time, the 20th century was coming to an end, and Hong Kong’s Asia Weekly invited heavyweight scholars and writers to jointly select the top 100 Chinese novels in the 20th century. Personally, I attach great importance to this list, because the judges include not only mainland scholars in China, but also scholars from Hong Kong and Taiwan and overseas scholars. It provides a larger evaluation field of vision. After the selection results were released, we found that the first place was Lu Xun’s Scream, the second was Shen Congwen’s Border Town, the third was Lao She’s Camel Xiangzi, the fourth was Zhang Ailing’s Legend, the fifth was Qian Zhongshu’s Fortress Besieged, the sixth was Mao Dun’s Midnight, and the seventh was Bai Xianyong’s Taipei Man. — Liu E’s Travels of the Old Handicapped.

  These ten classic works coincide with the modern literary classics we have known before, but they are somewhat unexpected: For example, Taipei Man, Biography of Hulan River and Travel Notes of the Old Disabled are not only on the list, but also in the top ten! This result surprised some people. Moreover, among these 100 works, there are many works by popular writers such as Zhuan Lou Zhu, Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng, Qiong Yao, Yi Shu and Li Bihua. "Hundreds of Excellent China Literature Books in a Hundred Years" is also a reliable classic reading bibliography. These are the 100 most important Chinese literature books in the 20th century jointly recommended by China mainland scholars and publishing institutions in the 1990s.

  Not all masterpieces

  Are the best works of writers.

  Masterpieces are often the guiding choice of classic texts. Generally speaking, masterpieces are works that represent the writer’s creative level, but not all masterpieces are the best works of writers. When evaluating a work in the history of literature, the social influence of the work is a very important consideration index, but a work with social influence may not necessarily have a higher literary level.

  For example, when we talk about new poetry, we will definitely talk about Hu Shi’s Trial Collection, because Hu Shi is the first person to write new poetry in a century, and there would be no modern new poetry without Trial Collection. However, if we take the new poems in Trial Collection as the standard of new poems, it is obviously to reduce the standard of new poems to the toddler stage. Therefore, although Hu Shi’s works are masterpieces of new poetry, they are definitely not the essence of new poetry. Another example is a mature writer like Ba Jin. His Home is indeed an excellent work, but it is not the most mature work of Ba Jin. Ba Jin’s writing can be divided into three stages: youth, middle age and old age. Young Ba Jin wrote the love trilogy Fog Rain Electricity and the torrent trilogy Home Spring Autumn. However, Ba Jin’s best works should be the trilogy of life "Cold Night", "The Fourth Ward" and "Resting Garden" written in middle age.

  Comparing Home with Cold Night, there is no doubt that Home is more influential, because it provides a proposition of the times, showing the collapse of a big family and the tragedy of youth enlightenment. Therefore, Home has a strong social response. Ba Jin, who is in the period of youth writing, has the first emotion, but when emotion occupies the center of writing, it is an obstacle to the depth of writing. Therefore, if you read Home carefully, you will feel that there are both young people’s unique enthusiasm and youth’s unique shallowness. In the 1940s, Ba Jin’s creation entered a mature stage. Cold Night is a story about a man who is caught between his mother and his wife. But this is only the surface of the story. What the novel really wants to express is that during the war years, young people full of blood gradually lost their dreams under the torture of life. Cold Night was born at the time of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and the whole novel was very sad. People usually think that the Anti-Japanese War has been won, the suffering has ended and a great nation has stood up. But in Cold Night, Ba Jin put forward a profound proposition: Does the victory of the Anti-Japanese War mean that all the problems in life can be solved? Ba Jin stepped into middle age from youth. Although his emotion changed from enthusiasm to condensation, it made his works more infectious and moved us more. Cold Night is also Ba Jin’s masterpiece, but compared with Home, readers are unfamiliar with it.

  A good writer should constantly break

  Readers’ reading expectation

  There is an important concept in reception aesthetics called "reading expectation", which means that before we enter a literary work, we will have a general expectation for this work by virtue of our existing reading accumulation. For example, we haven’t read Lu Xun’s novels before, but from our understanding of Lu Xun, we know that Lu Xun is a great enlightener, thinker, revolutionary and a great writer. These constitute the most basic judgment for us to read Lu Xun. When Lu Xun’s works conform to this judgment, we will think that our judgment and understanding are correct. On the contrary, we will be surprised: Lu Xun actually wrote like this!

  Formalism focuses on the artistic expression of the text and the strength of the form of the work. For example, when we look at a work, we feel that it is very old-fashioned and lacking in merit. And sometimes we will find that some works are very clever, similar to those we have read before, but different, and feel very novel. In fact, this is the so-called defamiliarization — — Our existing literary understanding is not enough to explain it, and it presents us with new challenges.

  For example, Lu Xun’s New Stories, many of which are very playful, are not quite the same as our understanding of Lu Xun’s serious style. This constitutes the so-called defamiliarization. A good writer should constantly break the reader’s reading expectation. Therefore, great writers often don’t follow the old habits, but have multiple faces. One Hundred Years of Solitude is a great masterpiece, but Marquez has not only One Hundred Years of Solitude, but also excellent works such as Love in Cholera Period, Colonel who has no one to write to him, Old Man with Giant Wings, Dead Leaves and so on. On closer reading, you will find that the styles of these works are quite different. One Hundred Years of Solitude is the pinnacle of magical realism, while The Colonel who has no one to write to him is a solid realistic narrative, and Love in Cholera Period is called "the greatest love novel in the world". If you read Love in Cholera with the expectation of reading One Hundred Years of Solitude, you will find that it completely disappoints your expectation, which in turn gives us a brand-new reading experience. Marquez is always challenging our reading expectations. Formalism criticism focuses on whether a work breaks our expectations and provides a strange reading experience.

  The works of women writers

  Suitable for interpretation from feminist perspective

  Today, men’s discrimination against women still exists and is often ignored by us. Feminism tries to embody this discrimination in the context of our ignorance. Therefore, the works of female writers are very suitable to be interpreted from a feminist perspective. For example, Zhang Ailing’s works sometimes give us an anti-feminist feeling.

  In "Love in a Fallen City", Bai Liusu tried every means to marry Fan Liuyuan, and they tried every means and struggled. Finally, the Pacific War broke out, Hong Kong fell, overturned a city and made a love. From the standpoint of feminism, the ultimate meaning of a woman’s life is not given by a man, but what Bai Liusu wants in Love in the City is to marry Fan Liuyuan. Isn’t this an anti-feminist writing? This anti-feminist writing reflects Zhang Ailing’s irony of feminism. Zhang Ailing is actually standing in a higher feminist position. She believes that Bai Liusu’s story really falls into the so-called "feminist dilemma", that is, it seems that a woman can only achieve perfection in a certain sense if she is attached to a man. Zhang Ailing expressed her distrust of radical feminism by describing the process that Bai Liusu tried to enter the role that male chauvinism wanted women to enter.

  Lu Yin and Xiao Hong’s works are full of feminism, but such feminism can’t really change the situation of women. Comparing Xiao Hong and Zhang Ailing, Xiao Hong’s feminism is highly prominent. Before she died, she said a few words, one of which was "the sky of women is low". Xiao Hong, trapped in the depths of feminism, met different men all her life, but never gained emotional security. Zhang Ailing is different from her. Zhang Ailing understands the illusion and imagination of this feminist writing, so her Love in the City expresses her feminist position in an ironic way. This is an important angle for us to interpret literary works.

  Avoid falling into the "orientalist trap"

  Adopting the perspective of colonialism and post-colonialism, this is a new perspective to interpret the text with the development of cultural studies. Let’s take a movie example to illustrate post-colonialism. The fifth generation directors, such as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, made many so-called "folk customs" in their films in the 1980s, such as the sedan chair and wine offering in Red Sorghum, the light sealing and foot beating in Red Lantern Hanging High, and the rain praying in Chen Kaige’s film Yellow Land, etc. The fifth generation directors hope that the oriental culture will be revived on the screen. However, if we look at it from the post-colonial point of view of Said and others, when the fifth-generation directors desperately show the folk wonders of the oriental nation in their films, they just fall into the so-called Orientalism trap.

  What is Orientalism? Generally speaking, westerners’ understanding of the East does not come from actual observation of the East, but from reading and watching literary and artistic works that describe the East. Westerners artificially establish the leading position of the West, and when they describe the East, they often create a so-called "grade difference" — — The East is a fascinating foreign land waiting for the West to discover. The meaning of this sentence is that only when the west discovers it can the beauty of the East be presented. This is the so-called Orientalism. Zhang Yimou and the fifth generation of directors he represents, in their films, present the orient, which is actually a kind of so-called self-orientalization. They present China’s aesthetic feeling in the way of "self-orientalization", at the same time, they give westerners a way to understand and observe China through movies, which will inevitably lead westerners to fail to objectively and truly understand China.

  A similar situation occurs in literary works. For example, Jing M.Guo’s Tiny Times, which is deeply loved by young people, can also be viewed from a post-colonial perspective as a book with a wide reading rate and influence among young people. Under the background of globalization, Jing M.Guo completed his own naming for this era. He named this era of globalization as a small era, reminding us to rethink the center and edge.

2023 Geely Xingrui: The wheelbase of all 2.0T engines is 2800 mm.

How to check the valve cover, the most important accessory that affects the oil burning of French cars?

Let’s take the Peugeot Citroen 1.6T engine, which has the largest inventory at present, as an example. The valve cover is damaged from 70,000 km to 100,000 km, which is not a common problem of Peugeot Citroen. BMW, Buick, Chevrolet, Ford and other models are also prone to oil leakage when driving for 100,000 kilometers, or the negative pressure is wrong, and the air intake fault is reported, or there is a fire, or the oil consumption is obviously abnormal.

Distinguishing between true and false valve cover

First, the original valve cover must be used. Replacing the original valve cover will solve the problem. The original Peugeot Citroen valve chamber is produced by Meijia, and there are many parallel imports in the market, and 95% of the quality is very poor. If there is no reliable channel to purchase, the probability of buying parallel valve chamber covers is as high as 95%. Once the valve cover of parallel imports is used, it is highly probable that it will not work well, and there are still many potential safety hazards, such as the engine idling for one hour, the engine climbing up a steep slope and stepping on the accelerator, and when the negative pressure inside is high, the engine oil will leak from the valve cover pad. In severe cases, there is too much engine oil in the engine room, which flows to the exhaust manifold below. Under the high temperature of the exhaust manifold above 400 degrees, it is easy to cause the engine to catch fire, and the potential safety hazard is great.

Someone replaced the aluminum alloy cover. The aluminum alloy cover is not the original one, which is not easy to use, because when the valve cover is installed, the plastic one has tension, and the aluminum alloy has no tension at all, which will lead to oil leakage after a period of use. Of course, if the original factory is aluminum alloy, we must change the original aluminum alloy cover, and if the original factory is plastic, we must change the original plastic cover.

Second, how to identify the original valve cover. It is very difficult to tell the difference just by looking at the valve cover. Look at the picture below: The red spots in the aging and damaged valve cover have been damaged and fallen off, resulting in serious engine oil burning.

How can two new valve covers distinguish between good and bad? The simplest way is to compare the gluing at the seams. Figure 1 shows the gluing seams of brand parts, and Figure 2 shows the seams of the original Meijia. The glue in the joint position in Figure 1 is rough, which can be seen by naked eyes. The glue in the original factory of Figure 2 is uniform and tidy.

The glue applied to the seal under the oil cover, Figure 3 shows the glue of brand parts, and Figure 4 shows the glue of the original valve cover, which is also very different. So if you want to change it, just change the original parts.

Third, matters needing attention in replacing the 1.6T valve cover. Many riders have encountered the problem of oil leakage from the valve cover or oil burning due to the aging of the one-way valve in the valve cover, and the problem has not been solved after replacement. In fact, there are three reasons. Remember the following three points, and it is not a detour to replace the valve cover.

Fourth, the negative pressure value that everyone pays the most attention to. Many people are unfamiliar with the negative pressure of the 1.6T engine. Today, we will provide this value for you to facilitate the inspection of engine oil in the future.

First of all, there must be a tool to test the negative pressure value. After the hot car is started, the negative pressure value is detected. One end of the hose is inserted into the filler of the oil dipstick, and the other end is set to mbar, so that the test can be started. The normal value of 1.6T has a slight change around 35. If it is lower than 25, it will obviously start to consume oil. At this time, it is impossible to observe it by using the traditional method to open the oil cover and pull out the oil dipstick, which can almost approach the oil consumption of 3000-4000 kilometers per liter. If it is lower than 12, there will be obvious abnormal consumption of engine oil, and it is common to consume one liter of engine oil for hundreds of kilometers or one thousand kilometers. Especially in the early aging of the valve cover, the oil consumption of low-speed driving in the city is not obvious, and the oil consumption of high-speed driving will be significantly higher.

Precautions for valve cover replacement

First, the original valve cover, which is an essential element;

Second, after disassembling the valve cover, the cooling time should be sufficient;

Third, install the screws in sequence according to the standard torque.

As long as we pay attention to the above three points, we can solve the problem well, and the valve cover problem is not a design defect.

summary

With regard to the problem of burning engine oil caused by the valve cover of French vehicles, we should pay attention to two points: first, replace the original valve cover; Second, find professional checkpoints, such as legal system specialization and sunshine craftsman shop. The burning oil caused by the valve cover can be 4000 liters or 600 liters, which is possible. In the initial stage, it is not serious to consume one liter of engine oil for 4000 kilometers, and it will consume one liter of engine oil for 1000 kilometers or hundreds of kilometers in the later stage. To prevent the engine from burning engine oil prematurely, we can regularly use the cleaner with general PNF technology to keep the oil circuit clean and clean the ternary system at the same time, so as to reduce carbon deposition, thus delaying the occurrence of engine oil burning.

Hamas threatened "jihad", and Israel stood firm against the suffering of Gaza people.

Special topic: Israeli army’s large-scale air raid on Gaza Strip.

  BEIJING, Dec. 29 (Xinhua)-Hamas leaders who control the Gaza told the Palestinian people that no matter what force Israel uses against them, Gaza will never give in to Israel. According to Iranian media reports, Hamas’s foreign propaganda officials even said that "the only way to fight back against Israeli crimes is to launch jihad and uprising".


  After Israeli air strikes in Gaza killed 287 people, a pro-Hamas website published a letter from Hamas leader Chana to the Palestinians, which said: "We will not leave our land, we will not surrender, and we will not kneel down and give up." Chana said: "There are blood everywhere and martyrs everywhere. There may be more people injured and sacrificed, but Gaza will never surrender. "


  In the face of Hamas’s threat, the Israeli side showed no weakness and took a tough attitude. The Israeli cabinet passed a decision on the 28th to recruit reservists. It is estimated that Israel will mobilize at least 6,500 reservists. Israeli authorities also said that they bombed more than 40 tunnels on the border between Gaza and Egypt for smuggling.


  Israel also warned that it would launch a ground offensive against Gaza if the current air strikes failed to stop Palestinian militants from firing rockets and mortars into Israeli territory. At a cabinet meeting, Israeli Prime Minister Olmert warned his colleagues that the battle would be "long, painful and difficult".


  Both the Hamas organization and the Israeli army have their own "weapons". The Israeli side dispatched regular troops, tanks and military aircraft to carry out large-scale military operations, while Hamas dispatched suicide bombers, guerrillas and rocket launchers. The intransigence between the two sides will inevitably lead to greater casualties, and the first victims are the people.


  According to current statistics, since the Israeli bombing of Gaza, 287 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 1,000 injured. The major hospitals and clinics in Gaza are currently overcrowded, and the humanitarian crisis is very serious. Doctors say they can’t cope with such a large number of injured people. They said that there is a shortage of hospital beds and medicine, and more plasma is urgently needed to help the wounded.


  Egyptian officials said on the 28th that a large number of Palestinians wanted to cross the border and enter Egypt to escape Israeli air strikes. The local refugee problem will worsen, and it will inevitably trigger the resentment of refugees. Terrorist attacks against Israel may increase greatly, and ordinary people will still be victims.


  Although the Hamas organization and Israel’s tough attitude at this stage can win the support of some Palestinians and Israelis respectively in a short period of time, with the stagnation of the peace process, large-scale conflicts are in danger of being prolonged, and ordinary Palestinians and Israelis are still the ultimate victims.

Foxconn’s "escape" to the United States is an uncertain gamble

Foxconn finally ran away. US President Donald Trump)7 announced on July 26th that Foxconn plans to build a new factory in Wisconsin to fulfill its commitment to invest in the United States. Foxconn will invest $10 billion to build a new LCD factory.

It is said that this will be the largest new investment by a foreign company in the United States in history, but it is only the first of many investment plans of Foxconn in the United States, and there will be more in the future, creating 3,000 new jobs for Wisconsin and having the opportunity to explore the scale of 13,000 people. Trump is quite satisfied with Guo Taiming: "He is a great businessman anywhere in the world."

Getting Foxconn to produce in the United States is a dividend for Apple and American manufacturing. Revitalizing the manufacturing industry in the United States and hollowing out the treatment industry can also be regarded as a great achievement project during Trump’s tenure. It has a strong demonstration effect and driving effect on the return policy of American manufacturing industry. In the past 40 years, the scale of industrial employment in the United States has fallen sharply. Therefore, for many years, the slogan that the United States has been shouting is to let the manufacturing industry return.

For the United States, the purpose of manufacturing return is more about employment and the adjustment of economic structure. Therefore, the United States is striving for advanced and high-quality foreign capital and manufacturing giants to enter. The problem in the United States is that the labor cost is high, the scale of manufacturing industrial clusters is not as good as that in China, and the degree of automation is high, so the number of jobs and employment is getting less and less.

Moreover, Foxconn is the largest supplier and foundry of iPhone. Since the Obama era, the US government has continued to put pressure on Apple, hoping that Cook can move the manufacturing of Apple products back to the United States.

Foxconn’s establishment of a factory in the United States can obviously drive Apple to bring some of the production capacity of the industrial chain back to the United States. It can also help Apple to check and balance Foxconn at home. For example, in the future, Apple can increase its control by cooperating with Foxconn to build factories, investing in capital, and infiltrating forces such as technology operation and placement of Apple executives and core technicians. Even Foxconn’s factory building behavior will also play a leading role for many component manufacturers in Apple’s supply chain.

As early as last year, Apple proposed to Foxconn and Pegatron United Technologies the idea of withdrawing all Asian production lines to the United States. At that time, many suppliers did not respond, and Pegatron Technology refused this proposal. Tong Zixian, chairman of Heshuo, said earlier that many suppliers are not interested in building factories in the United States, because the supply chain of the electronics manufacturing industry is huge and complex, and it is very difficult to achieve pure American production.

But now that Foxconn has moved to the United States, many manufacturers in the Apple supplier group may start to feel anxious, which will promote the idea of those wavering manufacturers moving.

Therefore, Foxconn’s investment in the United States has brought great benefits to Apple, because in terms of innovation, if designers, engineers and workshop production employees can gather in the same eco-industrial environment instead of scattered in different countries, close business intersection can enhance their integration and understanding, which can bring greater creativity. Obviously, this is a common dividend between Apple and American manufacturing.

For Foxconn itself, going to the United States to build a factory or completing its industrial upgrading to seek the inevitable road of transformation will help break the brand label of the foundry. Moreover, exporting to domestic market can not only greatly increase Foxconn’s brand premium, but also increase the price and profit of its products.

Trump grabbed Foxconn to build a factory in the United States, but it was difficult to solve the ills of American manufacturing in a short time. On the one hand, the American manufacturing industry has long transferred its production to the third world countries, and only retained R&D and design at home, showing a trend of "de-hard assets". Since the 21st century, the competitiveness of American manufacturing industry has begun to show a downward trend. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer skilled technical workers in the United States.

On the other hand, the manufacturing industry needs industrial chain clusters, but in the United States, the manufacturing industry has been hollowed out after moving out. Now, if you want to move back and rebuild the manufacturing industry chain clusters, you have lost the talent, technology and industrial chain foundation.

Only relying on political rights can attract the laws of global capital in a short time, but in the long run, the rise and fall of industries and the flow of talents have its long-term economic laws, and capital needs global reproduction and expansion, rather than running around political calls.

For Foxconn, the trouble to set up a factory in the United States is the lack of a large number of skilled industrial workers and supporting facilities for the production of raw materials and parts, and there is no perfect upstream supply chain industrial cluster. It takes time to hire a large number of skilled industrial workers, and the cost rises sharply.

Germany’s Le Monde said that in less than 20 years, factories in the United States disappeared by nearly a quarter. Friedman, a famous American columnist and author of "The World is Flat", once said that the United States is now a small town with 200 start-ups, each of which employs 50 people. It is difficult for the traditional "Made in America" manufacturers to come back.

Therefore, for Foxconn, the most difficult thing is to obtain a large number of skilled workers and related supporting industrial chains, although it may obtain tax incentives provided by local, state and federal governments in the next few years. Industrial agglomeration plays an increasingly important role in manufacturing industry.

On the other hand, the region has little connection with Foxconn’s suppliers and customers and industrial layout, and there is not much reserve of skilled workers, let alone industrial agglomeration, which means that Foxconn is faced with many uncertain risks and has to bear too much infrastructure construction costs.

Because OEM manufacturers like Foxconn need to rely on numerous suppliers’ industrial support to produce, Foxconn will almost start to cultivate talents and develop industrial support in this state, which will drive the development of relevant supply chains in the United States and directly or indirectly bring many employment opportunities. Therefore, in the final analysis, the benefits that Foxconn brings to this state in the United States still far outweigh the benefits that Foxconn has gained.

Therefore, although people know that a profit-oriented enterprise should be counted as an economic account, here at Foxconn, there is also the meaning of political flattery and accommodating people.

Analysts from foreign research institutions have clearly pointed out that Foxconn is trying to avoid the increasing pressure from the US government, which is a political expedient. Because from a commercial point of view, it is not so reasonable to choose to build a factory in the midwest of the United States rather than other regions.

Moreover, it is still a question whether Foxconn’s corporate culture is suitable for Americans, because today, it is difficult for Americans to return to the assembly line and work like blue-collar workers in China, Viet Nam, Southeast Asia and other countries.

Because industrial correlation, demand, environment and industrial ecological correlation are the main driving factors of investment choice. However, Foxconn has not settled this account here. After all, where the depression effect can be generated, where will the money flow? Here at Foxconn, there is obviously a sense of political flattery.

After all, Trump pressured Apple to move the iPhone back to the United States for production. Foxconn needs to hold Apple’s thigh tightly and share the pressure for it in order to win more orders from Apple in the future. In addition, in response to Trump’s new administration’s call for the manufacturing industry to return, it will make some profits, but it will also facilitate Foxconn to go further in the US market and build its brand awareness and influence in the US manufacturing field and internationally.

On the other hand, although the American manufacturing industry itself is declining, it has always been at the top in terms of technology research and development and accumulation and the right to speak in the industrial chain. To become a super giant with upstream and downstream connectivity, Foxconn needs to stand on the basis of American manufacturing and technology research and development. Complete the transformation.

Due to its own manufacturing genes, most employees of Foxconn have long been screws in the product line and rarely participated in upstream research and development. Although Foxconn faces the problem of skilled workers in the United States, it also has the opportunity to attract more cutting-edge scientific and technological talents, participate in the upstream R&D links of American manufacturing, and promote the overall innovation.

But generally speaking, in the modern economy, industrial agglomeration determines the position of manufacturing industry, and there is no integrated industrial related manufacturing cluster in the United States, so Foxconn’s establishment in the United States has mixed advantages and disadvantages, and it is still a gamble. Entering the United States does not mean that you can have global supply capacity. On the contrary, it is prematurely washed away by higher-dimensional industrial science and technology forces due to insufficient innate foundation.

At present, not only Foxconn and Softbank, but also many enterprises are on their way to the United States after the implementation of large tax cuts in the United States. Although they all have a little political contribution, it seems that the collective visit of international manufacturing companies to the United States has become a hot outlet.

For example, Samsung Electronics recently announced that it will invest 380 million US dollars to build a home appliance manufacturing factory in South Carolina. In February this year, Intel announced that it would invest $7 billion in building a semiconductor factory to produce seven-nanometer chips in the next three to four years. In May this year, some media reported that Infosys, a world-renowned software outsourcing giant, announced that it would invest in the United States and create 10,000 jobs. In March 2017, LG Home Appliances will also establish a new factory in the United States.

The collective action of global industrial capital may be based on the demand for optimal allocation of resources on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is based on showing kindness and standing in line with the Trump administration in order to obtain the new government’s policy dividend for manufacturing industry and find a new direction for industrial layout, so that the integration of manufacturing industry into the US market can enhance its international competitiveness and attract better technology and talents.

We know that manufacturing is the foundation of a country’s economy and the guarantee of people’s livelihood and employment stability. This is an important reason why the United States does not hesitate to compete for manufacturing giants with tax, cost and policy concessions on a global scale.

As early as 2016, during the two sessions of the National People’s Congress, Cao Dewang submitted a proposal, saying that the rising labor in China, transportation costs, high industrial land costs, tax burden, resource prices, etc., made the unreasonable cost factors more prominent. On the contrary, China’s neighboring countries with late-developing advantages such as demographic dividend are creating conditions to attract investment.

At present, in the United States, except that labor is higher than that in China, the costs of energy, land, logistics and finance are all lower than those in China. In particular, it is mentioned in the industry that the land price difference between China and the United States is as high as nine times, and the tariff problem in the United States, if you export after manufacturing in the United States, the product price is almost the same, and you can get a higher brand premium. So early layout in the United States is obviously a more cost-effective choice.

It is also an indisputable fact that part of China’s manufacturing investment is flowing to the United States. According to the data of the Ministry of Commerce, by 2015, the manufacturing industry has surpassed the financial industry and become the most important industry for China’s direct investment in the United States. Wang Shouwen, Vice Minister of Commerce, revealed that in 2016, the scale of foreign capital utilization in China is expected to be the same as that in 2015. Compared with the year-on-year growth rate of 6.4% in 2015, China’s attracting foreign investment slowed down significantly last year.

Moreover, the domestic manufacturing industry has always been given the impression of cheap, backward production capacity and low-end sweatshops, which has long been stigmatized. Nowadays, young people in China are increasingly reluctant to flow into the manufacturing industry. Zong Qinghou, chairman of Wahaha, also complained before: the taxes and fees in the real economy are relatively high, the profit rate is very low and it is very hard, and many people are unwilling to work in the real economy.

Many people don’t want to work in the real economy, and the environment of the real economy is not good, which also makes China local and foreign manufacturing investors in China start to weigh and wait and see those countries that release friendship and dividends.

An important reason why the high-end upgrading of domestic manufacturing industry has not been successful is that the profits of manufacturing industry have not been used to invest in high-end technology research and development to complete the transformation from low-end cheap factories to capital-intensive and technology-intensive enterprises, but have been used to participate in shares or flow into real estate and other hot industries.

In current China, it is not clear which industries can replace real estate to drive growth. On the other hand, China’s manufacturing industry is also experiencing the same path as American manufacturing. For example, we can see that many of Shenzhen’s once prosperous clothing and toy factories have moved to Vietnam and other countries with lower costs.

Now, some consumer electronics manufacturers are also moving out. Many enterprises are saying that they will use robots instead of manpower to cut costs, while some enterprises have already replaced machines on the assembly line. At this time, the United States shouted that the manufacturing industry was returning, and Foxconn moved its factory to the United States. In fact, it was a warning to China’s manufacturing industry.

We know that China’s manufacturing industry and the real economy are abnormal in the current environment. It is not that the United States naturally develops to the top and then naturally expands globally to Zhang Zhilu. Instead, when the industrial base and scientific and technological development level of manufacturing industry are still in the development stage, capital, labor and talents are accelerating away from manufacturing industry, and then flow to real estate, Internet industry, financial industry and other fields where money is fast coming, and there is a lack of real respect and attention to the real economy and manufacturing industry.

On the one hand, the United States is vigorously promoting measures to attract outstanding global manufacturing enterprises, while at home, including Samsung, Toshiba, Panasonic and Sony, they are all considering reducing their capital in China and focusing on countries with lower costs.

If the manufacturing industry is marching towards the era of Industry 4.0, but the soil, cost, atmosphere and technical level of China’s manufacturing industry are still not enough to support the development and cost-effective advantages of high-end manufacturing industry, then in the future, more and more outstanding manufacturing entities will run to countries with more dividends. Of course, many international high-end manufacturing entities will not completely abandon China’s manufacturing industry at present, but more and more will tend to focus on both hands and put their eggs in multiple baskets.

Today, with the gradual loss of demographic dividend, the competitive advantage of domestic manufacturing industry and its attraction to foreign investment cannot still rely on lower-cost labor resources. Therefore, what the current manufacturing industry leaves us is not only reflection, but also crisis.
