They were already taking Foxconn in realizing that the real cause, in many cases, that the products that his top contractor, Apple, were delayed in the assembly lines was that precisely companies like Sharp and its LCD division will not be able to make them.
And is that Foxconn is a company that has come to hire up to 10.000 workers in one sitting, which is for other companies It is unthinkable because of the investment that must be made for it.
Now, the thing changes if, in addition to having the possibility of hiring such a volume of workers at one time, those from the bitten apple arrive and help with a strong investment to make Sharp's LCD division the property of Foxconn and with this can dramatically increase the amount of screens for all types of devices that Apple presents.
Right now, Sharp Kameyama Plant No. 1 It is the only company that manufactures screens for the Apple iPhone and that is why whenever there is a new launch, the stock breaks and they have to hang the "ALL SOLD" sign. as data we can inform you that the money that Apple would be willing to put On the table for Sharp's LCD to become Foxconn's is a staggering $ 1000 billion.
We'll see if in the end the deal closes and Sharp can modify its production lines and stop making panels for HD televisions and start making LCDs for Foxconn itself.
