If a society wants to develop, it must have a certain sense of hierarchy, that is to say, there must be a gap between the rich and the poor. However, the most reasonable thing is that the gap between the rich and the poor should not be too big, and it is not absolute egalitarianism.
In the final analysis, humans are not fundamentally different from other animals. If they can live a good life comfortably and are not far behind other hard-working people, they will basically have no motivation to do things.
Although he hopes to liberate the majority of people from manual labor or meaningless repetitive labor, he does not mean not to work, but to use time and energy on more meaningful things.
Now that the technical conditions are in place, the next thing everyone should consider is how to implement it. After considering these clearly, it should be time to implement it.
Everyone here is a smart person, and they all understand very well what changes will be brought to the country if artificial intelligence replaces work. By then, our country's economic scale will once again show explosive growth.
Our country's current economic aggregate is already the largest in the world, but it is not particularly wealthy on a per capita basis. Last year, the per capita GDP was less than 20,000 yuan, which is just behind the per capita GDP of developed countries.
Our country's total GDP has become the first in the world, which can be regarded as completing the first goal of our country's economic construction. The next goal is to strive for per capita GDP to become the first in the world. Even if it is not first, it must be among the best.
However, based on the current economic development status of our country, it is actually very difficult to achieve this. Even if our country's economy still has great potential for development, the total amount may reach 30 trillion yuan, which is not particularly difficult.
However, it is very difficult to reach an economic scale of 40 trillion or 50 trillion yuan. Based on my country's population size, if per capita reaches the level of hawk sauce, the total economic scale of our country needs to reach more than 50 trillion yuan.
Therefore, according to the conventional economic development model, if we want to achieve this, it will not take 10 years as it is now. It may take 20 years or even longer.
Now there is a shortcut in front of everyone, and it has no obvious side effects. It is a matter of understanding how to choose. There is no reason not to take the shortcut and choose a more difficult path.
In fact, all the leaders here know the development process of other countries. Not to mention the current developing countries, even the current developed countries, everyone knows the working conditions of their people in the past.
Any country that wants to advance from a backward state to a developed state needs all its citizens to shed a layer of skin in the process. The people of Great Britain back then also lived in a state of working day and night.
In the past 10 years, the situation in our country has been far better than that in those countries, and the work intensity of the people has basically remained at a reasonable level.
And the root of all this lies in the young man in front of me, because our country did not develop slowly from the bottom industry, but achieved leapfrog development based on a certain industrial foundation.
It directly skipped the upgrading path of conventional industrial development and directly brought our country to the stage of informatization development, allowing our country to earn huge profits from overseas.
Then the huge profits earned will be used to feed our country's basic industries, thereby achieving a state of overtaking in corners and realizing the reverse suppression of our country's economy and technology on other countries.
From this perspective, his contribution alone is almost equal to that of everyone else. This is also the capital and strength that allows him to sit at the same table with these big guys and talk and laugh.
"Then when do you think it can be fully implemented in the country?" the chief assistant asked.
If you want to implement this plan, you still need to follow Zhao Yi's ideas, because this technology is in his hands, and no one knows the specific situation.
Therefore, this matter cannot be led by the government. What the government needs to do is to formulate laws and regulations to lay the foundation for the upcoming social changes, and the rest can be left to it.
In fact, they have been doing this for so many years. Domestic economic development is basically led by its enterprises, supplemented by state-owned enterprises, and the government provides good services.
This is not because everyone is willing to do this, but because they have discovered that only by doing this can the best effect on the country's economic development be achieved. After continuous adjustments, it has reached its current state.
In this state, it seems that the status of the government has been further weakened. In fact, this is not the case. This should allow the government to return to its original state, which is an unconventional state like the previous state.
The purpose of the government's existence is to provide public services to all citizens, including infrastructure, personal safety, national defense and security, etc. This is the essential work of the government.
It’s just that our country was poor before. If we want to achieve industrialization as soon as possible, we must concentrate resources to do big things with limited resources. And the only one with this ability is the government.
As mentioned before, any historical choice is the inevitable result of the environment at that time. Based on our country's national conditions at that time, state-owned enterprises were a more suitable path for rapid industrialization.
Without the previously implemented state-owned industrial system, it would have been impossible for our country to develop from a poor, purely agricultural country to an industrial system with a relatively complete range of categories that basically meets the foundation for domestic industrialization development.
It's just that this kind of industrial system cannot be compared with the old industrial powers that have been developed for hundreds of years. This does not mean that our country's previous industrial development path was wrong, but that our foundation is too weak.
It was also after such an attempt that we found that it would be very difficult to catch up on this path simply relying on our country's own capabilities, which is why we made the decision to reform and open up.
The purpose of reform and opening up is actually to use foreign resources to meet the development needs of my country's industrial modernization. It can be regarded as an improvement in my country's industrial development path, breaking the relatively closed state and having more available resources.
And this price is the hard work of almost an entire generation of our country, providing cheap labor to Western developed countries in exchange for possible remuneration, and then using hard-earned funds to obtain part of the technology transfer from the other party.
Of course, things are much more complicated than what is mentioned above, but facts have proven that reform and opening up is much more effective and has greater potential for my country to use external resources to develop itself than simple isolation.
But this does not mean that the previous closed industrialization path was wrong, because at that time our country did not have any industrial strength, let alone the formation of industrial workers.
If we open up the market, it means that our country will never be able to develop its own basic industry and train high-quality industrial workers. The market will not be dominated by us and will completely become an economic colony.
Therefore, from the perspective of later generations, when analyzing what the predecessors did, we must put the environment at that time into consideration, rather than looking at the decisions made at that time from our own perspective.
It's just that Zhao Yi's rebirth has become the biggest variable in our country's economic development and scientific and technological development, causing our country's current reform and opening up to embark on a completely different path.
We don’t need to rely on selling cheap labor to earn poor remuneration, we don’t need to trade the market for technology, and we don’t need to sell our own business shares to gain business management experience.
He used his golden fingers to amass wealth in the financial market with foresight and foresight, which brought valuable capital needs to our country's economic development.
At the same time, he also integrated related domestic industries and provided high-tech technology, allowing our country to overtake in technology, so that our country has industries with strong competitiveness in the world market.
It can be said that it has only been about 10 years since the reform and opening up, and the changes that have taken place are earth-shaking, greater than ever before. It is a very rare miracle in the world's industrial and technological development fields.
Faced with this problem, Zhao Yi actually thought about it for a long time. He didn't know when it would be more appropriate to implement it because he felt that he was not prepared in any aspect.
Whether it is the overall quality of the people, the reform of the government administrative system, or even the business community, they are not fully prepared for this, and implementation seems to be far away.
This is not a simple economic measure, but a revolutionary change that brings social changes even more violent than any previous industrial revolution.
If he is not fully prepared, he himself is afraid of serious chaos. This is also the fundamental reason why he has technology in his hands but has not taken action because he understands that this will be an important step in changing the course of human history. .
The leaders present saw that Zhao Yi had not answered this question for a long time, but was deep in thought. They were also thinking about this question, because as political elites, they also had to figure everything out.
Entrepreneurs pay attention to hard work. When the future is uncertain, you only need to work hard. At most, the company will collapse, and the scope of the impact will not be very large.
However, when governing a country, any key decision needs to be carefully considered, otherwise the consequences will be catastrophic and unbearable.
"Everyone knows that this will be a major event that changes the course of human history. It is not just an economic issue, but will also reshape the social structure and form new rules of civilization.
To do this well, we not only need to reform and explore the corporate organizational structure, social organizational structure, economic development methods, etc., but also involve the construction of political organizational structure and related theories.
So the specific time for implementation does not depend on the technology at hand, but we have to ask, are we ready and determined in this regard
Any revolutionary reform will inevitably be accompanied by revolutionary changes. If you want to produce revolutionary results, you will inevitably need to make revolutionary decisions, and this revolutionary decision lies in the hands of everyone who is making it. "
Zhao glanced at all the leaders present and said this more clearly. As a political elite, he must have the courage and will to make revolutionary changes. The initiative is not in his hands.
Simply speaking, the reform of the economy and the corporate world is actually much simpler. He has countless ways to make the other party follow his lead, because he has both the economic strength and the technical strength, and he is the dominant player in this field.
However, reforms at the political level are not something he can control. If reforms are not carried out in this area, even if they are implemented, the effect may not be very good, and there may even be great chaos.
What he wants is not the cyberpunk world in later games, but a warm and civilized society where everyone can coexist harmoniously and perform their duties.
Maybe the above statement is too general, so let me give you a simple example, that is, ordinary civil service positions in the future government will not be needed at all, because they can be replaced by robots.
At that time, a department may only need to form a decision-making layer, or even the entire government system may only need to use human management at key levels, while robots can be used in all other positions.
By then, each county may only need about a dozen government workers, and the situation may be similar at other levels. By then, the central government's control over local governments will reach an unprecedented level.
This may seem like a reduction in government jobs, but it is not the case. It involves changes in the government's organizational structure and changes in the entire political system.
Some people may say that it is enough to retain these jobs. This is a bit too naive. If robots are really to be used to replace all manual labor, then long-term and stable subsidies will be needed for citizens who do not have jobs.
Moreover, this subsidy cannot be a guarantee type, but can allow the people to live comfortably. At that time, those ordinary public servants may resign themselves and go home to receive the subsidy honestly.
Because their salary may not be as much as the subsidy, even if it is similar to their salary level or slightly less, most people will still choose not to work.
You may think that working in a government department is not just about salary, but also about power. In fact, ordinary civil servants do not have that much power. They are just a screw in the huge government.
This is the simplest example, but it is actually much more complicated than this, because it will not only affect ordinary civil servants, but also those in positions of power, it will also bring about earth-shaking changes.
At that time, even if you want to reform, it will not be that easy. It will inevitably involve the vital interests of many people. As long as many interests are involved, short-term chaos will inevitably occur. This is inevitable.
That's why he said the word "determination" before. If there is no "determination", then there will be repetitions, which will eventually lead to the entire society being at a loss as to what to do, and even greater chaos will occur.
Before they could speak, Zhao Yi continued: "The above is implemented in a national chess game, and it must be carefully considered. In fact, there is another way, which is to implement it in a bottom-up, natural way."
"Oh, let's talk about it in detail." The old man said.
"In fact, there is nothing new. It is to let the business community carry out the work spontaneously, so as to gradually complete the entire work, so that the government can constantly observe the social situation and make timely adjustments.
This is a process of dynamic change and balance. The government needs to give enterprises a certain amount of space so that they can exert their due effects, and then review the phased results. If serious problems arise, they can be corrected in time. " Zhao Yi said.
"Would that allow companies to exploit workers even more, making workers' lives more difficult, and how to ensure social stability? Have you ever thought about this?" the chief assistant asked on the spot.
Enterprises are all institutions that pursue maximum efficiency and profits. They are the first to try it out among enterprises. They still believe that it will be completed soon, but the pursuit of profits means that more people will be unemployed.
“Actually, it’s not as serious as you think. The economic scale created by my companies accounts for 70% of the national economic scale, and we can take the lead in developing it in my companies.
Everyone knows how well the companies under my umbrella protect the rights and interests of employees. We will never disregard the interests of our employees just because of a little profit.
Therefore, I can promise everyone here that my company will use at least 50% of its annual income to pay employees to leave their jobs as subsidies. It will only be higher than their current income, and it will never be lower. .
The remaining income needs to be used for the development of the enterprise, such as expanding production, R&D investment, etc., so the proportion needs to be determined based on the actual situation, but it will not be lower than 50%.
As long as my companies take the lead in implementation, it will be equivalent to completing more than 70% of my country's enterprise reform goals. Since it is more organized, the implementation process will be more orderly and will not cause major problems. " Zhao Yi said.
"So what should we do with the employees who have left their jobs? What is their status? What should other companies without robots do?" asked the chief assistant.
“As long as employees who leave their posts are not engaged in external profit-making work, they can do anything, but there will be relevant learning regulations to allow them to improve their knowledge level.
Employees who leave their posts are still employees of my company, they just don’t need to be on the job. The creativity, research and other work created by employees during their absence are also the legal property of the company.
However, employees who can provide more knowledge value to the company will receive additional compensation in addition to the fixed subsidy, which may be a one-time reward or a continuing reward, depending on the size of the contribution.
As for other companies that do not have robots, it depends on how they decide. If the relevant policies are in line with my companies, then they are eligible to rent robots from me.
The reason for doing this is mainly to keep the business environment fair. By then, social human resources will be surplus. In order to get higher remuneration, some people may receive subsidies and work for other companies.
This will reduce the labor costs of other companies in a disguised manner, resulting in an unfair competitive environment. In the long run, serious problems will arise. Companies that pay more will be at a disadvantage in the competition.
In the future, robots will not be sold, but will only be rented. The main purpose is to ensure that the robots can be used within a reasonable range and avoid being used in unexpected places.
In addition, the technical content of the robot is very high. If it is sold, the price will naturally not be very low. In comparison, leasing is more cost-effective and more flexible for business operations. " Zhao Yi said.
This is a promotion method that Zhao Yi thinks should be relatively simple, and it happens in his own companies. He has certain control over it. Compared with starting from the government level, it is much easier to handle. (End of chapter)
