The details of the changes often have profound implications. What kind of sparks will Foxconn and Sharp churn out in 2018? To this end, on the opening day of AWE2018 on March 8, China National Grid Corporation Vice President of Foxconn Technology Group, Foxconn University (IE College ) President, Dr. Chen Zhenuo, Chairman of Richlink International Electronic Commerce Co., Ltd. conducted an exclusive interview.

Master the market pulse in the new journey
A series of strategic layouts of Foxconn and Sharp have basically reached their expected goals. The most important thing is that in the journey of Sharp's rejuvenation, Foxconn has gradually grasped the pulse of the market.
“The Sharp brand returned to China market with color TV, the 8K ecological layout steadily progressed, and the country’s overall layout and strategy implementation were basically completed. 'Chen Zhenuo told China National Grid that in 2017 the entire group’s black power target was exceeded, and TV sales exceeded 14 million. Taiwan, 8K product ecology, application and content ecology, industrial chain ecology, and supply chain ecology are also constantly improving. In 2018, Foxconn and Sharp will strengthen the layout of white electricity based on the consolidation of black electricity layout, especially in the past dozens of The accumulated service capabilities accumulated over the years have become one-stop services including production, sales, and service.
Of course, for Foxconn, the opening of 'last mile' activated the entire business system.
Why do we have to do our own brand and do our own market, because before we produced so many products, we didn't know who to sell to them, and we didn't know how to use them. 'Chen Zhenuo said that since last year Foxconn gradually understood the market demand and was able to grasp The pulse of the market, the introduction of a variety of products is also more grounded gas.
In fact, by enabling Sharp, Foxconn has mastered a large number of market data. These data have greatly shortened the time-to-market for product development and product development, and provided directional guidance for the development of Foxconn and Sharp.
Foxconn Family Validation 'Frightening Prophecy'
In mid-2017, a 226-page report unveiled the nine major businesses and global footprints of Terry Goh, president of Foxconn Technology Group. Zhang Bokai, head of the research team of Macquarie Securities Greater China, predicted that Hon Hai/Foxconn Will become the integrator of the future world (Integratorformoral'sworld).
"Sharp has joined the Foxconn family. Today, the Sharp Pavilion at AWE has also highlighted Foxconn." Chen Zhenguo explained that Foxconn will surely not only have a Sharp brand in the future, but may build more brands in the future.
In fact, during the entire interview process, the term “cross-border” was the most frequently repeated strategic concept outside of 8K. In the cross-border concept mentioned by Chen Zhenguo, besides multi-brand operations, the core technology was applied to different products. Different industries, different scenarios are also part of cross-border integration.
According to Chen Zhenguo, Sharp's (PCI) positive and negative ion cluster technology can not only deal with PM2.5, but also has antibacterial and deodorizing effects. It can even help people relieve stress and increase their concentration. Therefore, Foxconn and Sharp will The technology is applied to a range of products other than air purifiers. In the future, Sharp's black-on-white, white-electricity, and small home appliances will be integrated in domestic product design, R&D, mass production, and marketing services.
In the Foxconn (Shenzhen Longhua) Science and Technology Park, the new Sharp R&D and Design Center building is the best footnote for this cross-border integration. The China National Grid learned that many of the testing facilities in the Sharp R&D center are at the national laboratory level. Including air laboratory, water laboratory etc.
'Not just drinking water, but also water-related technologies to grow vegetables.' Chen Zhenguo emphasized that the Foxconn Longhua Plant Area is renovating a plant factory. This is not only of great symbolic significance, but it is actually a cross-border layout exploration.
China National Grid understands that Foxconn’s rich network platform has taken up the responsibility of taking into account the entire industrial chain layout of clothing, food, housing, transportation, education, entertainment, safety, health, and commerce.
All-round open empowerment to create 'neutral economy'
On March 7th, the day before the opening of AWE2018, Sharp released the 'Structure Matrix of the Herringbone', which focused on the three basic needs of clean air, clean water, and clean food, as well as high-level demands on beautiful faces, smart brains, etc. 5. Integrate fragmented home appliances and home products into a co-operative ecosystem to create a smart home Internet ecosystem.
For the state of the ideal smart home, Chen Zhenguo said that there is still some distance from achieving the goal.
'People's demand for quality of life is endless, including demand and technology are always evolving.' Chen Zhenguo said that to achieve the ideal state of smart home also requires the integration of networking, storage, compression, computing and other technologies and capabilities, It is not enough to implement operations such as voice control.
Terry Goh has repeatedly mentioned strengthening the strategic thinking of the 'backbone economy' and hopes that 'more people will get richer' to create a big open scene together.
'Foxconn used to serve some big brands and customers in the past. This year, through our brand and ecological openness, we hope that more service SMEs, especially innovative companies, will allow them to interact on Foxconn's large platform.' Chen Zhenguo believes that many small and medium-sized enterprises and innovative companies can easily "step on thunder" in the development process. Foxconn's patent platform, product design platform, product development platform, rapid prototyping and experimental platform, test platform, supply chain platform, intelligent manufacturing Platforms, sales platforms, service platforms, and funding platforms can provide a full range of empowerment.
In fact, Foxconn’s open strategy for the scene undertook the application of the post-enablement results.
Chen Zhenguo said that Foxconn has an open attitude and welcomes the application and participation of other companies' products. Through Foxconn's large platform, the big chain forms a big scene.
