Since August, many factories in the United States have started renovation plans.
The workers of these workers were very surprised and got together to talk about it.
"Do you know what's going on? Why is the factory being remodeled again?"
"I don't know, but the scale of this transformation is a bit large, and many workshops have to be redesigned. In addition, many production equipment has been sold to other factories at a low price! I estimate that our factory may purchase some new equipment."
"Alas, as soon as the factory is renovated, we will be idle, and our wages will be reduced. Now, the US economy is in a recession, but I hope I don't have such idle time and can earn more money every day."
"Oh, by the way, I heard that after the successful renovation of the factory, the company will probably lay off some workers."
"Probably not... A large number of workers were fired last year, and now they are fired again? If the factory has no workers, how will it operate?"
Many American workers shook their heads in disbelief.
At present, the number of workers in the factory has dropped sharply, resulting in insufficient production capacity of many products. Therefore, in their opinion, the factory should still recruit new workers, so how can it be laid off
…
By August, the storm of Li Zetian's campaign for the US president had passed.
The US government didn't want to publicize the matter, so it greeted the media. News about Li Zetian's election for the US president was rarely seen on newspapers and TV.
Outside the gate of Li's mansion, the reporters had already dispersed.
During this period of time, Li Zetian always went to Cronos Industry, and the construction of the artificial intelligence robot factory of Cronos Industry was in full swing.
When a large number of artificial intelligence robots are produced, robots will be used to replace workers.
In addition, what Li Zetian is more concerned about is that the industrial Internet operating system of the future world - "Predix Cloud" has begun to take shape.
With Predix and artificial intelligence robots, a truly unmanned factory can be realized.
In addition, Li Zetian is also concerned about AR, VR and 3D printing, and has invested a lot of money in it, especially 3D printing and AR, which have a wide range of applications.
The advantages of 3D printing are definitely beyond the reach of traditional manufacturing. As far as traditional manufacturing is concerned, the more complex the shape of the object, the higher the manufacturing cost, but for 3D printers, the cost of manufacturing complex-shaped objects does not increase, and manufacturing a gorgeous complex-shaped object does not cost more than printing a simple block. time, skill or cost. And a 3D printer can also print many shapes, it can make different shapes every time like a craftsman. Of course, the advantages of 3D printing technology are not only these, it is also far superior to traditional manufacturing technology in terms of material combination application, reduction of waste by-products, accurate physical replication, space design, and manufacturing speed.
AR is called augmented reality technology. It adds images, sounds, touches and smells to the natural world according to their existing forms. It is very similar to holographic projection. People can not only see, touch, have a full sensory experience, but also receive and feedback all interactive.
The application of AR is very extensive. In the past life, the AR game "Pokemon Go" developed by Nintendo, which caught pets in the real world, was popular all over the world.
In addition, AR shopping will also become a new form of shopping in the future. For example, a user selects a pillow from an Internet store, then turns on the iPhone camera, clicks on the place to be placed on the sofa, the pillow will be placed in the corresponding position, and the user can also See if the throw pillow matches the sofa in 360 degrees. Users can also "try on clothes", point the camera at themselves to take a selfie, pick a certain piece of clothing, and the screen of the mobile phone will display the user's clothes.
Of course, even in physical clothing stores, AR technology can also be used, such as installing AR mirrors, customers do not need to change clothes in the future, just "look in the mirror" directly, it looks very high-end and elegant!
…
In a blink of an eye, a few months passed. On November 20, William and Tina's child was born - a fat boy weighing more than 8 pounds.
Seeing this baby, Li Zetian suddenly felt like a lifetime away.
"Dad, give the child a name."
William asked Li Zetian to name the child, Li Zetian thought about it, and named the child Li Yue, which is a very meaningful name for Li Zetian.
The appearance of Li Yue made this Christmas very lively this year. Not only Li Zetian's parents and father-in-law Yu Jingshan came here for Christmas, but even Bill Gates' family came here for Christmas.
Lively, very festive.
In December, the U.S. presidential campaign was completed, and as expected by Li Zetian, the previous vice president succeeded. However, the American billionaire Trump also participated in the election, and even missed the presidency by a narrow margin.
Seeing this, Li Zetian was very sad.
Trump's wealth is only how much, he almost can be the president, and my wealth is thousands of times his, but I don't even have the qualifications to run for president. ! !
At the beginning of the new year 2001, many factories were built.
When the workers had a wonderful Christmas break, they immediately received a dismissal contract from the factory.
"The factory is actually going to fire me?!" When the workers saw the dismissal contract, their first reaction was disbelief. After dismissing them, who will the factory be handed over to produce
Hundreds of thousands of workers are suddenly laid off and unemployed. How can this major event not cause a sensation
At this time, US Vice President Garr just officially took over the presidency.
The "big gift" Li Zetian gave him shocked him at the time.
Hundreds of thousands of people have been laid off and lost their jobs, which will not only affect these people, but will also lead to a chain reaction such as a decrease in the urban security environment, a decrease in corporate revenue, and bad debts in banks.
At this time, the U.S. stock market has plummeted like an avalanche, and countless investors are panicking.
Wall Street analysts sighed: "The US stock market has fallen again. The main reason, as everyone must know, is because Chronos·Li has laid off hundreds of thousands of American workers! So many workers have been laid off and unemployed, and the impact is huge, and the United States will fall into an economic crisis again. !!! Had Chronos Li run for President of the United States, he would never have fired so many workers.”
American netizens took to Weibo @李泽天, asking him, why did you dismiss so many workers
Li Zetian sneered, why? I don't know why you guys still don't know? Aren't you white Americans very arrogant, do you look down on us Chinese? Well, since you look down on me, then I will fire you American workers!
At this moment, reporters flocked to Li Zetian's home.
It's a pity that Li Zetian's family has already traveled around the world, and now they are bathing in the sun in the Aegean Sea, which makes them flinch.
White House.
With a sad face, Gal looked at the person beside him and asked, "Have you contacted Chronos Li?"
"Not yet, the mobile phones of Chronos Li and the people around him have been turned off. However, after our investigation, they are traveling in the Aegean Sea. Your Excellency President, please rest assured, I have notified the local government to look for him and will be able to contact him immediately. "
…
The blue sea is as beautiful as a dream.
Li Zetian stood on the top floor of the sea view villa, blowing the sea breeze and drinking red wine, while smiling: "Haha, Americans are in a hurry now!"
At this time, Dongfang Yuqin came over.
"Here comes the man sent by the President of the United States."
"Okay, I understand, let him hang out first and ask him to wait for me in the hall." Li Zetian smiled lightly.
"Okay!" Dongfang Yuqin nodded and laughed.
After half an hour, Li Zetian went to see the people sent by the US President.
As soon as the other party saw Li Zetian, he immediately stood up from the sofa and greeted enthusiastically, "Mr. Li, hello, I'm Abel Judson..."
However, before he could speak, Li Zetian interrupted: "Okay, let's talk about it directly. I also understand your intention. Isn't it the problem of hundreds of thousands of workers being laid off? Come to think of it, the US government should be able to solve it and find a solution. What am I doing?"
Although he was rudely interrupted by Li Zetian, Abel Judson did not express anger at all, but greeted him with a good face.
With a smile on his face, Abel Judson said to Li Zetian with a hint of compliment: "Mr. Li, you are really joking, who doesn't know your influence, even the U.S. government has difficulty laying off hundreds of thousands of people. Solved, but for you, solving this problem is just a pediatric problem. Besides, these people were your employees before... Mr. Li, look, can you let them go back to work?"
Li Zetian shook his head: "Mr. Abel Judson, you know that the recent economic downturn in the United States, coupled with foreign competitors, has caused the factory's revenue to plummet. I have to choose to lay off staff to cut costs!"
Abel Judson said: "Mr. Li, even if you want to lay off workers, you don't need to lay off so many workers! As far as I know, there are many factories that even have no workers, so how do you produce products? ?"
Li Zetian smiled lightly: "Using robots can not only reduce production costs, but also improve production efficiency. The average annual salary of workers is 50,000 US dollars, but 50,000 US dollars is enough for me to produce ten artificial intelligence robots. The artificial intelligence robot can work all day. 24 hours of work, and it’s not necessarily bad in three or five years. Do you think it’s more cost-effective for me to hire workers, or is it more cost-effective for me to use artificial intelligence robots?”
"Artificial intelligence robot?!" Abel Judson said in surprise, suddenly thinking of Eve in his mind.
Li Zetian nodded with a smile: "Although the low-end version of the artificial intelligence robot is not as advanced as Eve, it is enough to replace the work of ordinary workers. In addition, the factory has industrial robots, intelligent production equipment and the industrial operating system Predix cloud. With these, the factory Dependence on workers is minimized.”
After Abel Judd listened, he fell silent. From Li Zetian's tone and words, he had already heard that Li Zetian would never let those workers go back to work.
"Mr. Li, the layoff of so many workers has seriously affected the U.S. economy. You are also an American, so you shouldn't sit idly by? I beg you, help solve the employment problem of these workers!"
Am I American too
Li Zetian pouted and sneered.
I am Chinese! ! !
Fuck you Americans, when did you really think of me as you Americans
"I'm sorry, Mr. Judd, I can't do anything!" Li Zetian did not euphemistically with him, but refused directly.
When Abel Judd heard the words, his face was very ugly. He knew that he could not persuade Li Zetian, so he left. As soon as he left the villa, he called U.S. President Gal and told the other party the content of the conversation one by one.
When President Gar heard this, he almost jumped up in anger.
…
Just after Abel Judd left, Li Zetian took out his mobile phone and immediately updated a Weibo after turning it on.
"Don't be afraid, isn't the new president already in office? He will definitely help you solve the problem!"
As for me, I'm not the president. I run the country and take care of my affairs. It's no use begging me.
Come, come, the next project, unmanned supermarket.
Our goal: to put more Americans out of work! ! !
