Recently, however, the suicide problem of Foxconn employees is so serious, and he has a good cooperative relationship with Sing Tao Daily, so he is willing to accept an exclusive interview with this newspaper to talk about his views on the Foxconn incident and even Guo Taiming. Xin Huainan particularly emphasized that this only represents his personal views. If he speaks well of Guo Taiming or Hon Hai, it's not because he wants to kiss up. If you say something unpleasant, it's not out of malice, because there is no interest between them. It's not a sweatshop, it's a pressure cooker Xin Huainan thinks Foxconn is definitely not a sweatshop. "Guo Taiming people are definitely not people who run sweatshops. Our so-called sweatshops are probably based on the working conditions of workers, such as lighting, air conditioning, wages, working hours and so on. , biased towards some defects in the physical environment. Hon Hai is definitely not such a company. On equipment, of course, it is definitely not a so-called sweatshop. " But there are two problems. One problem is that your company's equipment is no matter how good, such as swimming pool, but you don't have time to swim. What's the use? Although the second one is not a sweatshop, it is definitely a pressure cooker. If you work in Hon Hai or Foxconn, you will never feel great pressure, never be happy and never laugh. "Longhua Factory used to be the director of Guo Taiming's younger brother, and later passed away. Longhua was not so big at that time, but Longhua and Kunshan were definitely militarized. In Guo Taiming's blood, there is a gene of military management. For example, he once told me that the word management should be translated into management control. And his customers are divided into the first army, the second army and the third army, so it is definitely the style of military management. This may be very different from Chinese mainland when it is implemented in Taiwan Province Province. " What is Foxconn's corporate culture? I believe that suicides are purely numerical, and the proportion is not that big, because it can be compared with the suicide rate in China and so on. But he always feels that there are so many suicides in a factory in a short period of time, which is definitely not without reason. However, the reason may be complicated and it may be difficult to say clearly, so he doesn't want to say too much about it, but he can analyze whether Hon Hai's management style has an impact on it. Xin Huainan pointed out that despite the same management style, this problem does not exist in Taiwan Province Province. He believes that this has nothing to do with "a child" or "most people in Taiwan Province Province have been soldiers", but because of family relations. "This is mainly because there is a family behind this place. For example, most of the three major auto companies in Detroit are locals, and few of them come from California as workers. But this is an unsolved problem, because you can't find so many people locally. Guo keeps his word. There is a big problem with Guo Taiming's management style. He is always busy as hell. He is a man who has to deal with everything by himself. In my opinion, why can't the local vice president come out and stand in the front line of Longhua incident? Of course, it is his sincerity to stand out and stand in the front line. I won't comment on this. However, a big shortcoming of Guo Taiming's management style is that he has to handle everything by himself. " "I tell a personal experience. I had to go back and forth to Kunshan at that time, and the ticket never came down. At that time, I asked him for special help, and he said that he would wait for the approval of the chairman. I thought to myself that the vice president of such a large department needs the approval of the chairman to sign the plane ticket. There are people who have classes over there. I don't know if it was last Saturday or Saturday and Sunday. It was not until Guo Taiming told the man where you took Mr. Xin to play on Sunday that they realized that there was no need to go to class on Sunday. " This kind of thing must have something to do with Guo Taiming's management style and Foxconn's corporate culture. But what is Foxconn's culture? I really don't know the answer. I think that such a big company has no corporate culture, which may be the saying in Taiwan Province Province that "efforts will win." This is a highly competitive company. I met many competitors and former employees of Hon Hai by plane. To be honest, none of them said that Hon Hai was good. It can be said that Hon Hai's culture is how to excel in competitiveness. Any company or product needs three most important things, that is, the product is good, the time to produce the product is fast and the cost is cheap. Hon Hai can do these three things, and Guo Taiming requires his employees to do these three things, which is why working at Foxconn is a "pressure cooker". Xin Huainan, an authority on strategic planning, cited an example to illustrate the pressure on employees working in Hon Hai or Foxconn. "I went to the meeting. I sat on the sofa at the back of the conference room. Guo taiming's employees face him. Two things left a deep impression on me. Once someone stood for half an hour, and Guo Taiming asked him, "What are you doing standing there?" He said, "Chairman, you didn't ask me to sit down." "On another occasion, he was on the phone with a senior cadre in the Mainland. He asked the other person to say it again, and the man said it again. The voice is getting louder and louder, about ten times, and the man's voice is hoarse. I kept waving my hand and told him not to, because we came back from America and felt a little inhuman and insulting. Later, I went out to talk to him. He smiled and said nothing. In retrospect, Xin Huainan felt that Guo Taiming was like a legalist in China. He is very skillful in calculation and strategy. He doesn't really want to insult this person, but wants to use this opportunity to establish authority. " I think in his eyes, I may be a woman's soft nature. He is very powerful. He was deliberately half an hour late for the meeting with the Japanese, and then put on his slippers. He just wants to give you a duel. Xin Huainan used to eat in Hon Hai's canteen at night and found it full. He asked the young people around him if they didn't want to cook and went home after dinner. He replied that they would work overtime after supper. "Why does Guo Taiming's company have to work so much overtime, which has become a normal state? Later I found out that the reason was that he didn't leave. He didn't leave the office before 10 in the afternoon, and his subordinates dared not leave. 」
