BEIJING, July 24 (Reuters) - Taiwan's Foxconn, the world's largest contract electronics maker and Apple's biggest iPhone assembler, said on Wednesday it plans to invest 1 billion yuan ($137.5 million) to construct a new business headquarters in Zhengzhou, China.

Foxconn, formally called Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd (2317.TW), opens new tab, signed a contract with the Henan provincial government for the proposed project, which will have a construction area of about 700 acres (283 hectares), the company said.

Foxconn is benefiting from strong demand for servers for artificial intelligence applications, with its customers also including AI chip darling Nvidia (NVDA.O), opens new tab.
The Taiwanese company this month posted better-than-expected quarterly revenue on AI server demand, and forecast continued growth in the current quarter.

Foxconn announced plans for its new business headquarters in Henan province in April, which it said would focus mainly on new technologies and core technology research, although it did not reveal an investment figure at the time.

Ha ha...someone has to eat his own word

Look who’s back

Back again

U turn tu bisa buat eh ...

Most likely the India deal went bad because Vedanta (Indian company) wants completely access to the technical know-how and money from Foxconn. Seriously, even with the geopolitics going on and with US gov meddling over economics. A bad deal will always be a bad deal. Foxconn rather gamble with the communists than to do business in India.
