GoPro announced that Hon Hai (A.K.A. Foxconn), a leading electronics manufacturing company, has purchased 8.88% of the company for $200 million, valuing GoPro at nearly $2.25 billion. Not a bad day for owner and founder Nick Woodman. As part of the deal, Foxconn Founder and CEO Terry Gou will join GoPro’s board.

富士康是广为人知的电子产品生产商，是生产iPhone，iPad，SonyPS游戏机和微软Xbox的生产厂。但是本次富士康没有透露交易背后的具体原因，但富士康CEO非常清楚这是一笔值得期待、潜在利润丰厚的投资。
Foxconn is widely known for manufacturing products such as Apple’s iPhone, iPad, Sony PlayStation, and Microsoft Xbox. Kind of a big deal.
郭台铭表示，“我十分看好投资GoPro，这将使富士康获得机会。GoPro不仅拥有优秀的产品线，而且拥有出色的管理人才。当我第一次见到伍德曼时，立即感觉到他是一位非常杰出的企业家，他在该领域具备获得伟大成就的能力。与富士康联合后，GoPro公司的前景将更加光明，我们将致力于帮助其实现最大潜能。”
Terry Gou said, “I saw a great opportunity in investing in GoPro, not only the company’s product lines but also the man who is running the company. The first time I saw Nick Woodman, I immediately knew he was an outstanding entrepreneur who has the caliber to be very successful in this business. And together with Foxconn, the outlook of this company is even brighter as we commit to helping it achieve its fullest potential.”
