(Original title: After 1 billion U.S. dollars invested in U.S. manufacturing, Apple has to spend 10 billion U.S. dollars to expand its data center) Apple announced that it will spend US$1 billion to expand its data center in Reno, Nevada. The project will provide 300 temporary construction jobs. After the project is completed, the data center will add 100 new jobs. In 2014, Apple first proposed the plan to expand the Renault data center. At that time, Apple applied to the government to expand on the original scale of US$1 billion. Apple spokesman John Rosenstock said on Wednesday: "We are pleased to increase our contribution to the local economy by investing an additional $1 billion in expanding our data centers and supporting facilities. As part of the company's development We plan to employ 100 employees. In addition, it is expected that the construction project will add another 300 jobs." Prior to the announcement of the expansion plan, Apple just announced last week that it will set up a $1 billion fund to invest in U.S. manufacturing to promote employment. Because Tim Cook, Apple’s chief executive officer, did not specify what kind of work he would provide at the time, he simply said that he hopes that Apple’s billion-dollar “advanced manufacturing fund†can create new jobs. It is probably not related to Apple. Apple’s “Advanced Manufacturing Fund†investment plan may include Foxconn, the main iPhone manufacturer. Foxconn is currently discussing with the U.S. government an expansion plan. Earlier this month, Mr. Gou Ting, President of Foxconn, paid a two-day visit to the White House. Gou Ting Ming told the media that Foxconn plans to carry out “capital-intensive investment†in the U.S. market. He said: "We plan to conduct a series of investments in the United States. This investment project will include capital-intensive investment, skilled labor and high-tech technology." Foxconn began discussing with the U.S. government last year about its plan to expand to the United States. At the end of January this year, Foxconn had stated that if it included the cooperation with Apple, its investment in the United States would exceed 7 billion. Foxconn employs more than one million people in its manufacturing facilities in China, and Apple's foundry business accounts for about half of Foxconn’s revenue. Apple is at Renault’s data center Apple also announced in January that it had partnered with NV Energy to build a 200 megawatt solar power plant in Nevada that aims to use renewable energy to power its data center at Renault Technology Park. The solar power plant is expected to begin operations in 2019. On Wednesday, the Renault City Council voted 6:1 to approve Apple’s plans to build a $4 million logistics warehouse on an open space in the center of Renault. Apple purchases are located on Evans Avenue between 5th and 6th Streets. When the city council announced the decision, it added: "The introduction of Apple's logistics warehouse will bring economic and financial benefits to Reynolds and Nevada as well as a catalyst for other companies and investment." The Renault municipal government also said that the purchase of the plot would allow Apple to obtain millions of dollars in tax deductions. It is worth mentioning that Apple also received approximately $89 million in tax deductions during the construction of the Renault data center in 2012. 燑br>
