After Li Zetian's Weibo was updated, it immediately caused heated discussions.
With so many workers laid off, the U.S. economy has been hit hard. People originally pinned their hopes on Li Zetian, after all, so many workers were his employees before. But Li Zetian didn't care about this matter, which made the American people feel a little lost, as if Li Zetian had given up on them.
As we all know, without jobs, people have no money to consume, without consumption, companies cannot survive, companies cannot survive, they go bankrupt, and bankruptcies cause more people to lose their jobs. In a vicious circle, the economic situation in the United States will getting worse.
The most obvious reflection right now is that the US stock market has plummeted, and many listed companies are on the verge of bankruptcy.
Moreover, foreign investors have also withdrawn their capital from the United States.
A netizen in the United States: "Oh, damn, Chronos Li fired so many American workers, which led to another crisis in the American economy. Fortunately, I voted against him at the beginning! Hmph, he is a Chinese who still wants to be the president of the United States. It's ridiculous. I am sure that President Gar will solve the employment problem for so many laid-off workers!”
"Yes, we have to believe in President Gar, the employment problem of workers will be solved soon, and the White House is actively trying to find a way."
"Think of a way? In the United States, a lot of people have lost their jobs, but they haven't seen the government solve the employment problem for them. Now there are hundreds of thousands more people. You say, how can the US government solve it? If you want me to say, Chronos Li is better than the United States. The government has more solutions! With so many companies under his name, he can easily solve the employment problem of millions of people!"
"If Chronos Li becomes president, will employment still be a problem? Because too many idiots did not support him as president, and people are now focusing on foreign investment, no wonder he wants to lay off workers on a large scale!"
"Chronos Li must have been very disappointed in the United States. He has made unparalleled contributions to the American economy, technology, education, health care, charity, employment, but the result? Americans still don't recognize him. This kind of thing Anyone who puts it on someone will suffer!"
…
White House.
Since Li Zetian did not intend to help the U.S. government deal with these unemployed workers, President Garr had to contact other consortia.
However, with so many workers, these consortiums cannot afford to eat. In addition, at this time, the US consortium was suppressed by Li Zetian, and it was impossible for the mud Buddha to cross the river. The power of many consortiums has been eaten by Li Zetian.
To talk about solving the employment problem of American workers is just a matter of Li Zetian.
It is a pity that Li Zetian did not agree, and he went even further. He wanted to make more Americans unemployed.
…
The factory of artificial intelligence robots is completed.
A large number of low-profile robots have been produced. The body of these low-profile robots is mainly made of steel, so the cost is vastly different from that of Eve, which is less than $5,000.
And artificial intelligence programs, almost zero cost.
The resulting AI robots were quickly transported to factories to take part in the work.
These robots may be unfamiliar to their jobs at first, but they are very capable of learning, quickly become competent at their jobs, and produce faster and faster. At the same time, Koronos Industries has the support of more data, which is conducive to improving and perfecting artificial intelligence robots.
Of course, the unmanned factory under the name of Li Zetian has always attracted much attention.
When the video of the unmanned factory broke out on the Internet, the whole world was shocked! People thought they were in a sci-fi movie!
"No wonder there will be layoffs. It turns out that artificial intelligence robots are used to replace workers' jobs. How awesome!"
"Damn it, it's shocking to see so many robots!!!"
After watching the video, a factory owner's eyes lit up: "If my factory also uses robots, it can greatly reduce labor costs and improve production efficiency!"
For a time, major factories around the world have inquired about the situation of Cronos Industries, intending to purchase robots.
It is not difficult to imagine that more and more unmanned factories will appear in the future.
…
While everyone was still amazed at the "unmanned factory", Li Zetian had already started planning an unmanned supermarket.
"Unmanned supermarket???"
When Dongfang Yuqin heard Li Zetian mention the unmanned supermarket, her face was full of astonishment.
Li Zetian smiled lightly: "Yes, it is a supermarket without people! There is no need for cashiers in the supermarket. Customers can directly leave the supermarket after choosing something, and complete a shopping happily and quickly."
Dongfang Yuqin thought for a while and asked, "Then how do they pay?"
"It's simple," Li Zetian said with a smile, "Swipe your face to pay!"
Dongfang Yuqin was even more shocked and asked, "How do I pay for face brushing?"
"Face recognition scanning machines are installed at the entrance and exit of the supermarket. When a customer enters the unmanned supermarket for the first time, the face recognition scanning machine will scan the customer once, and the customer's face has not been changed in the unmanned database. Data Face ID, then, the face recognition scanning machine will make a sound to prompt the user to scan the QR code on the machine, and bind the customer's Face ID to payment software such as PayPal or Alipay."
"When the customer leaves the supermarket, the facial recognition scanning machine at the exit will also scan and verify the customer to complete the payment function. Of course, there is also a machine at the exit that scans the goods..."
After Li Zetian finished speaking, Dongfang Yuqin felt a little incredible, but after thinking about it carefully, Li Zetian's unmanned supermarket plan was very feasible.
"Is the face recognition technology reliable? What if I make a mistake?" Dongfang Yuqin worried.
"The face recognition scanning machine installed in the unmanned supermarket is a large-scale, relatively sophisticated advanced instrument. Under close-range recognition, the accuracy can reach more than 99.9%."
"The things sold in the supermarket are not expensive, and even if it is wrong, we can make compensation and urge us to improve our technology. At the same time, we can also collect customers' Face ID data on a large scale through unmanned supermarkets. With these Face IDs, we can also cooperate with governments around the world, such as surveillance…”
Dongfang Yuqin couldn't help nodding at this time, the concept of unmanned supermarket is very gimmicky, and it will definitely attract many people to come for shopping experience. And because the supermarket cashier is omitted, the cost of the supermarket will be greatly reduced. Come to think of it, the supermarket tally staff will also be replaced by robots, which can reduce costs.
Dongfang Yuqin thought for a while and said, "Right now, the US economy is sluggish, coupled with the impact of e-commerce, many US supermarkets are not doing well, we can take the opportunity to acquire them."
"Well, that's right, but it's best not to reveal that the people behind the scenes are us." Li Zetian paused for a while, then said, "Firstly, it won't make Wal-Mart and other supermarket giants take precautions; !"
"Okay, I know, then I'll arrange it now!"
"Well, you are in charge of purchasing the supermarket, then I will be in charge of the technical aspects!"
After the two talked, they went their separate ways.
…
Soon, a month has passed, and the employment problem of workers has not been solved very well, and many American citizens can't help but begin to complain and question President Garr's ability.
"It's been so long, but the jobs of the unemployed are still unresolved, what are President Garr and the U.S. government doing!"
"According to the statistics of relevant agencies, the number of unemployed people in the United States is still increasing!"
"Wall Street Journal": "Since last month, the Dow Jones index has fallen by more than 1,100 points, and the US stock market is not optimistic!"
Li Zetian learned from the news that due to the economic downturn in the United States, many companies have laid off employees, and the number of unemployed people in the United States has increased by more than 750,000.
So many people lost their jobs again, good! ! !
Li Zetian felt very happy in his heart. Although it would also cause losses to him, Li Zetian no longer cared about the money. Li Zetian focuses on the global market, and the loss of the US market alone is actually nothing. In fact, his company is profitable, just not as much as it used to be.
So far, Li Zetian's worth has far exceeded other people's imagination, ten trillion US dollars? NO, it has already exceeded 20 trillion US dollars, and 30 trillion US dollars is not far away!
The richer you are, the faster you can make money.
Taking 100 million yuan to invest and taking 10,000 yuan to invest, the returns are completely different.
The wealth accumulated by Li Zetian will become more and more in the future, and it will become more and more terrifying! ! !
Dongfang Yuqin's acquisition of supermarkets was very fast. During this month, it acquired five medium and large supermarket groups with a total of more than 3,200 stores, some of which are not in the United States. But it doesn't matter, unmanned supermarkets will sooner or later enter overseas markets.
Next, supermarkets have to buy.
Wal-Mart has 8,500 stores in 15 countries around the world. As the richest man in the world, Li Zetian has only more than 3,500 stores, so he does not show his brilliance.
Soon, another month passed.
At this time, Dongfang Yuqin has acquired nearly 10,000 stores, of which nearly 3,500 stores are located in the United States.
3,500 stores across the U.S. are clearly enough.
So from the end of March 2011, many supermarket stores in the United States have been renovated successively.
Since the supermarket is going to be renovated, the supermarket will not open for business in a short period of time.
so what…
That's right, another layoff! ! !
Many supermarkets under Li Zetian's name have begun large-scale layoffs, with as many as 600,000!
600,000 is actually not the total number of employees in Li Zetian’s supermarkets. Wal-Mart has 2.2 million employees. Li Zetian’s supermarkets have more stores than Wal-Mart, so the number of employees is naturally larger, as high as 2.6 million. The 600,000 layoffs are basically these supermarket employees in the United States!
600,000 is not a small number, this layoff immediately caused a huge sensation in the United States.
"Oh god, how come there are so many supermarkets laying off staff all of a sudden?"
"My God, another 600,000 workers are unemployed!!"
"I read the news reports. It seems that these supermarkets are being renovated and will not be open for business in a short period of time, so this is the reason for layoffs. As long as the supermarkets reopen, they should recruit new employees!"
White House of the United States.
President Gar put down the document with an extremely ugly face: "What's the situation, how can there be so many companies renovating at almost the same time?"
"Your Excellency, if it was the previous supermarket, they would never have had such financial resources! In the past month or two, there have been many mergers and acquisitions of supermarkets in the United States. It is very strange to think about it now. I speculate that Chronos should be behind these supermarket mergers and acquisitions. Li is related." At this moment, a middle-aged woman standing in front of President Gar said immediately. She was Bryce, assistant to President Gar.
After listening to President Gar, he set the table and said loudly: "It's not supposed to be, it's him! Who else can there be in the world besides him with such financial resources!!!"
Bryce pondered for a while and said, "Your Excellency, you don't have to worry too much. After these supermarkets are renovated, if they want to open, they will definitely recruit people..."
When President Gar heard the words, he felt a little better. He also felt that the supermarket would definitely recruit people when it was renovated.
However, the fact that so many people are now unemployed is really a headache for the government.
"Brice, contact other supermarkets, such as Wal-Mart and Costco, and try to recommend these people to their supermarkets!"
"Okay, Your Excellency, I understand, I'll contact you right away!"
…
Wal-Mart, in the conference room.
A middle-aged man with a pot belly wondered: "Are these supermarkets crazy? It's just a matter of redecorating, and they have fired so many employees. If they want to recruit more people, it will not be easy!"
"Yeah, I really don't know what they think!"
"Everyone, this matter should not be underestimated!" At this time, the CEO of Walmart frowned: "According to our intelligence data analysis, the boss behind these supermarkets is probably the richest man in the world, Chronos Li. He bought so much at once. Supermarkets, obviously menacing, we have to guard against it!"
"Hehe, doesn't Chronos Li think that e-commerce is better than brick-and-mortar stores, and he actually started a supermarket!" Someone pouted and laughed.
The CEO of Walmart said solemnly: "Well, no matter what, this is very unfavorable for us! Oh, by the way, just now US Presidential Assistant Bryce called and said that the 600,000 unemployed employees of the supermarket , I hope we at Walmart can help solve some...”
"Do you want us to help again? No, absolutely no, this greatly increases the labor cost!" The middle-aged man with a pot belly shook his head.
The CEO of Walmart said: "I think it's worth considering. This batch of unemployed people are all supermarket employees with rich work experience, and we can recruit the best among them into the company. In addition, for the employees with poor performance within the company, we are just right You can take this opportunity to drive them out and bring in a new batch of blood!"
After speaking, everyone could not help but nod their heads.
"It really kills two birds with one stone. It can not only meet the requirements of the White House, but also make a big change in the company!"
Other supermarkets are doing the same thing as Walmart, so Garr expects these supermarkets to absorb 600,000 employees, which is obviously not possible.
In times of economic downturn, companies generally lay off employees, so where will more employees be recruited
…
The decoration of unmanned supermarkets is different from that of traditional supermarkets. Unmanned supermarkets are intelligent supermarkets and a type of new retail. Relying on the Internet, they will use advanced technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence to upgrade and transform the production, circulation and sales processes of commodities, and then reshape the business format. Structure and ecosystem, and deep integration of online services, offline experience and modern logistics, the store's commodity display will pay more attention to the classification of commodities and the display of information to facilitate robot tally and system management.
In mid-May, almost all the unmanned supermarkets in the United States have been renovated, so the unmanned supermarkets are about to start business.
Li Zetian kissed the corner of his mouth with a smile, looked into the distance, and said lightly:
"Come out, Tmall Supermarket!!!"
