History is being made right now inside this dowdy building on the edge of Taipei.
That’s the global HQ of the company which makes your iPhone, iPad, Xbox, PS4, laptop, router, TV, and most everything else.
And yet, for the first time, Foxconn is holding an IR conference
Foxconn is the world’s largest electronics assembler.
It’s the world’s largest private employer of full-time workers.
It’s the largest exporter of Chinese-made goods.
It’s Taiwan’s second-largest listed company.
Its founder & Chairman Terry Gou is Taiwan’s third-richest
One of these men will be Foxconn’s next chairman.

It’s telling that while Terry Gou is still chairman & CEO, he chose not to attend the historic event of his company’s first ever investor-relations conference.
Terry Gou is stepping away to run for President of Taiwan, and he’s absolutely convinced he’ll win.

These nine executives will form Foxconn’s management committee after Gou leaves.
Among them: the head of its iPhone division, and its long-standing CFO (known as Money Mama).
Terry Gou is busy campaigning in central Taiwan right now.

He’s chasing a political careee at one of the most challenging moments in his company’s 45-year history.

Among the first questions for executives, what will it do about iPhone production amid trade war?
The answer: Foxconn has plenty of non-China factories to shift to if need be.
This is Foxconn’s new management committee.
I predict this man will be Foxconn’s next Chairman

His name is Young Liu

A decision will be made after Hon Hai’s AGM later this month
