A 20-minute drive from the South Korean city of Daegu sits the Gumi Industrial Complex. Home to more than 2,600 companies and production plants, it looks like any manufacturing hub in a small quiet town. But over the past two decades its global importance has grown almost unnoticed as Apple and its rivals in Asia have concentrated production of vital components — for everything from smartphones to TVs, and the drivers of cloud computing — in the area.
從韓國大邱市(Daegu)驅(qū)車20分鐘,就來到了龜尾工業(yè)園(Gumi Industrial Complex)。這個園區(qū)內(nèi)有逾2600家企業(yè)和生產(chǎn)工廠,看起來與落戶某個寧靜小鎮(zhèn)的任何制造業(yè)中心沒有區(qū)別。但在過去20年里,隨著蘋果公司(Apple)及其亞洲競爭對手將關(guān)鍵組件——從智能手機(jī)、電視,到云計算設(shè)備等一切產(chǎn)品——的生產(chǎn)集中在這個工業(yè)園,其全球重要性在幾乎沒有人注意到的情況下上升。
