After coming back, Zhao Yi thought about the conversation carefully and found that there was nothing wrong with it. For a long time in the future, we just need to see how the robot replacement plan is implemented.
There aren't many things that require him to do it personally. Xuantian Technology Company is currently selecting a robot production base in Chongqing and has already found a suitable place.
The next step is to level the land and build the factory. Since the environmental requirements for robot manufacturing are much higher than those for ordinary factories, it will take a longer time, but it should be almost done by the beginning of next year.
Robot manufacturing is actually a precision manufacturing, and its requirements for a dust-free environment are no lower than those of so-called chip manufacturing. It will be very good to be able to complete a production line early next year.
By the middle of next year, if the first batch of robots can be rolled off the production line, the foundation will be laid. This shows that the construction of the entire industrial chain has been initially completed, and production capacity will only need to be expanded according to demand.
The initial production capacity needs to reach an annual output of more than 20 million units, and the investment scale is more than 300 billion yuan. It is still uncertain whether the money will be paid by oneself or borrowed from a bank.
If Yaoguang Environmental Management Company needs money to invest in the Yellow River Control Project, then part of the funds will be borrowed from banks. If not, that would be even better. Xuantian Technology Company's own income is enough to support this plan.
The annual production capacity will be expanded to about 100 million units in the next year, and the production rate will be basically maintained thereafter, because if it is expanded further, the country will not be able to absorb so much production capacity, and it will be a pure waste.
In the early stage, the company mainly produced entry-level robot models. The capital backlog was not very large and the payment was returned relatively quickly. After meeting the requirements in this area, the production volume of other types of robots was gradually expanded.
At this time, the backlog of funds will be relatively large. After all, the cost of higher-model robots is much higher. However, with junior-model robots providing financial support at this time, the pressure should not be too great.
However, during this process, it is very difficult to significantly increase the subsidies provided to those who have left their jobs. Overall, a slight increase should be maintained.
Only after this period of large-scale investment has passed, more benefits will be distributed to workers who have left their jobs. Therefore, the economy may grow rapidly during this period, but it will not have much to do with the working class.
The economic growth at this stage is investment growth. Unless the distribution of benefits is coordinated, if robots are used to replace jobs, many benefits will not be distributed to the workers who have left their jobs.
The reason is simple. Xuantian Technology Company did spend a lot of money here, but the money was actually earned by other companies under his ownership. The income of these companies in the industry chain will naturally experience large-scale growth.
However, after a company's profits increase, it will not increase the salary of its own employees on a large scale, because these increases are actually unsustainable. After large-scale growth, the scale of industries related to this industry will shrink significantly.
If a large-scale salary increase is given to employees at this time, problems will arise if they want to lower it later, so it is better not to adjust. This is the dilemma of individual enterprises.
If it is an overall arrangement, the national economic aggregate will basically be in an overall state of growth. Although the future income of other companies in this industry chain will drop sharply, the future profitability of Xuantian Technology Company will be very good.
This allows the economy to maintain a relative balance as a whole. Some industries will shrink, while others will surge as a result. This is why it is necessary to coordinate the distribution of benefits.
If individual enterprises are used as the distribution of interests, it will be difficult to reconcile such contradictions. Only by dealing with such problems from a higher level can such contradictions be resolved.
However, there is no need to do this for the time being. After it has been implemented for a period of time, it will not be too late to choose the right time to adjust. If we do this now, we can only do it internally, and there is still a limit to how we can influence other companies.
But if you only do this internally, it will harm your own interests, while other companies will not only not suffer losses, but also make huge profits due to the profit spillover effect.
His companies do occupy a very large proportion of the domestic economy, but they have not yet achieved the goal of unifying the world. If he does this internally, it will be equivalent to abandoning his martial arts.
In fact, there is another way to force other companies to submit, that is, if you do not join the profit coordination and distribution system, you cannot rent robots for production.
At the same time, his companies are doing their best to expand their recruitment and incorporate all the labor force into their own systems, leaving no one available to other companies.
Because workers will definitely be able to settle accounts. If you join this system, you don't need to do a lot of work but you can get a similar salary, or even a higher salary. The choice will be clear at a glance.
If we just do this, it is estimated that the government will intervene, because this is equivalent to directly killing other companies. If they cannot recruit employees, they will have to shut down or move the company to other countries to survive.
No matter what the outcome is, it will be unfavorable to the government. This will completely allow its industries to complete the monopoly of the domestic economy, and no other enterprise will be able to compete with it.
The most important thing is that such measures will inevitably affect the operations of state-owned enterprises, which the government cannot tolerate. The purpose of the existence of state-owned enterprises now is actually to prevent their industries from forming monopolies.
It's just that the effect is not very great. His industrial advantages are very obvious and will become more and more obvious in the future, but at least it can have a stopping effect. Otherwise, the output value of his enterprises will account for at least 90% or more.
The reason why we can still tolerate his existence is mainly because his contribution to the national economy is too great. In addition, so far, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, so the government has not taken action.
Because if he takes action, it will be difficult to control the direction of things later. Maintaining the current economic stability is the government's top priority. As long as he keeps his peace, generally speaking, he will not be deliberately targeted.
Moreover, he is not someone who can do something if he wants to. This is the key point. It is precisely because his status is very important, so the old man will personally talk to him about major issues.
This is the highest courtesy to him. If he is an ordinary person, he only needs to ask the head of the relevant department to come forward to talk, or even just the head of the department below to come forward.
In addition, he himself is worthy of everyone's trust. He was able to raise the country's economy to such a high level in just a few years. He has a lot of structure and talents, otherwise he would not have been able to break into such a big situation.
"What are you thinking about?" Lin Hexia sat next to him, bumped him with her shoulder, and asked.
"It's nothing, I just thought about whether there was any problem with the conversation just now." Zhao Yi said with a smile.
"What issue did you talk about that made you think about it for so long?" Lin Hexia asked curiously. If it was an ordinary matter, there would be no need to be so cautious. Even if something went wrong, it wouldn't be a big deal.
"Didn't I talk about robots replacing human labor a few months ago? Now the layout has begun. Xuantian Technology Company is preparing to establish a robot production base in Chongqing.
This action was noticed by the superiors, so they invited me to talk about this issue. Since this matter is very involved, I was afraid that there would be some big mistakes, so I thought about it more carefully. " Zhao Yi explained.
"When did you start?" Lin Hexia asked in surprise. She had been staying by his side during this period and took care of the matter without seeing what work he had done. Can this not surprise her
"In fact, preparations have been made for a long time, and the technology is all available. Xuantian Technology Company moved its headquarters to Chongqing because of this consideration. At present, they have selected the location for the factory and started follow-up work.
Other companies are also actively building the entire industry chain, but they are currently in the initial stage. Naturally, there is no need to publicize it in a big way. You can see official publicity in this regard later. " Zhao Yi replied.
"So, you have just agreed with the government?" Lin Hexia heard the meaning behind his words and asked.
"You can say that, but it will not be promoted to the outside world at the moment. It will only be promoted within my companies. The first batch of companies to use it are planned to be placed at Hualong Clothing Company and Huansha Textile Company.
After the pilot projects of these two companies are relatively successful, they will slowly expand to other enterprises, thus forming a point-to-point situation, and finally complete the nationwide layout.
Moreover, the initial production capacity is limited. By the end of next year, at most, the replacement work of the above two companies will be completed. The production capacity of robots will not be further improved until the year after next. " Zhao Yi said.
In fact, robots bring not only sufficient labor force to enterprises, but more importantly, robots are much easier to manage than humans, so they can eliminate many management links and save enterprises a lot of costs.
It can be said that the emergence of robots is a great boon to manufacturing companies. The manufacturing industry is no longer limited by human resources, and it allows companies to independently control the production process without worrying about major changes.
As the president of Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings, Lin Hexia naturally wants to use this kind of robot in her own companies, because the benefits are too obvious.
"Can these robots be used in Hong Kong and Macau?" Lin Hexia asked. If it were used in other places, it would definitely not work, but Hong Kong and Macao are still quite special, so I asked this question.
Hearing her words, Zhao Yi shook his head and said: "Don't think about it for now, and it's not certain in the future. The use of robots must be in areas that we can absolutely control. Otherwise, it is impossible."
After hearing this, Lin Hexia immediately stopped. Since he said so firmly, it means that this is a matter of principle, and Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings does not have the strength to dominate the world.
Under such circumstances, without considering other factors, using robots in Hong Kong and Macao will only benefit local capitalists and will not bring any benefit to ordinary people.
When the time comes, the large-scale use of robots will not only not benefit the people, but will become a nightmare for ordinary people. This will only add trouble to himself. Just for this benefit, he thinks it is not worth it.
Robots will be one of the core competitiveness of my country's economic development in the future, and can also take the scale of my country's industrial development to a higher level and completely separate our country's level of strength from other countries.
Therefore, it is impossible to overestimate the importance of robots. It can be said that the robots in his hands have strategic significance and will make the labor advantages of other countries worthless.
As long as our country is really willing to do this, it can directly overwhelm the industrial system of the world. This is not just talk, but it actually has this strength, which is the most terrifying thing.
As long as the existing trade system is maintained, our country will have a sharp sword. In addition, our country's own industrial and technological strength is very strong, which basically makes this sharp sword invincible.
Of course, if we do this, there will be many side effects, that is, the current international trade system will be completely abolished. By then, our country may be excluded from the world and become a global economic island.
However, the cost of doing so is also very high. After all, our country currently has investments and businesses all over the world. If we completely break away, it can be said that we will kill the enemy by eight hundred and lose one thousand by ourselves.
And it is not easy to achieve this level. When there are more countries, there are more minds. They will all think based on their own standpoint and will not follow other countries.
If our country's economy was not the largest in the world, some countries would still have a strong voice in this regard. But now that our country's economy is the largest, their words may not be so effective.
Especially for some small countries, they themselves are not capable of developing industry. my country's desire to gain more market share in the global industrial system basically has nothing to do with them.
On the contrary, because of the fierce competition in industrial products, they can reap the benefits. Most importantly, cooperation with the country with the largest economy can bring them more benefits.
However, our country cannot be aggressive. Maintaining the stability and balance of the current trading system is beneficial to everyone, so the future strategy is still to maintain the balance of foreign trade.
This does not mean that our country's foreign trade will not develop. The more manufactured industrial products our country exports, the more products our country will import from other countries. This will help improve the living standards of our people.
Therefore, the industrial revolution carried out by our country will not only affect our country, but also the whole world. It can even be said to profoundly change the world economic pattern.
Of course, in addition to having the greatest economic impact, this is also something that will change the global military landscape. Since robots are as flexible as humans, it means that robots can be completely militarized.
If tens of millions of military robots are manufactured, no country can stop it, let alone aircraft carriers, cannons and aircraft. These seemingly tall things will become meaningless.
Unless strategic weapons are used to enable map bombing, these robots will be like ants, leaving no bones left that can be gnawed by elephants.
Therefore, the advent of robots will not only have an economic impact, nor will it only affect our country, it will also affect the world's political, military and economic patterns, completely changing the current face of the world.
However, if we want to see this change, we must first complete all industrial robotization in our country, and secondly, equip the army with a certain number of military robots.
In fact, he is not willing to seek kingship and hegemony. If he really wanted to, he would have established a country somewhere on the earth. This is simply too easy for him.
It's just that in his opinion, it is completely unnecessary, and if you occupy other people's land, you must be responsible for the lives of the residents on this land. This is too troublesome for him.
Seeking happiness for the people of his own nation is a responsibility to him, but seeking happiness for other peoples, he is not so interested. This is why he has always stayed at home and has never thought about seeking happiness outside. cause.
Therefore, even if there are robots in the future, he still hopes to maintain the current structure and not change too much. Of course, this idea is just his wishful thinking and cannot be taken seriously.
However, if someone insists on offending someone, it will be time for surgery. Some countries are afraid of power but not moral, so necessary thunderous measures are indispensable.
After they rested for two days, CCTV dedicated 10 minutes to the news broadcast to report in detail our country's achievements in robotics.
Although a lot of fuzzy processing methods are used here, and it is not said that our country has begun to prepare for small-scale promotion of robot replacement work, the signal sent here is very strong.
Generally speaking, the news on Xinwen Network has obvious direction. The content is not the focus. Instead, the focus is the attitude and guidance conveyed by the central government. This is the focus of attention.
This news, on the one hand, shows that our country is indeed at the forefront of the world in the field of robotics, and can even be said to be unique. On the other hand, it further supports what Zhao Yi said before, that is, many jobs will be replaced by robots. replace.
The front part is naturally exciting to watch, and the back part is exciting to watch. Is there really no room for physical labor to survive in the future? So where will the people who are currently engaged in manual labor go
Although Zhao Yi has talked about it in his previous speech, that is to try to improve his knowledge reserves and improve his productivity. This is the only way out for the future.
But it is easier said than done. The accumulation of knowledge requires a process, and not everyone is suitable for this path. People come in all shapes and sizes once they reach hundreds. If they were all the same, the world would be less exciting. .
Therefore, after this news came out, it immediately aroused domestic public opinion. Whether it was traditional newspapers or new Internet media, it is not an exaggeration to describe the overwhelming reports and comments on this news.
As a robot R&D and production company, Xuantian Technology Company has also been placed at the center of the public opinion storm, making this already outstanding company even more unfathomable.
Especially when everyone learned that the president of this company was Zhao Yi, they immediately thought of what he had said before. In just over three months, a breakthrough was revealed.
Although everyone does not know to what extent the breakthrough has reached, whether all technical work has been completed, or whether a breakthrough has been achieved at a certain technical point, the gap between the two is still very large.
If there is just a breakthrough in a certain technology, it will take a long time to complete it. After all, there must be many key technical points that need to be broken through in precision equipment like this.
If all breakthroughs have been made and technical reserves have been completed, then the next step is to carry out industrialization layout, and it will be available to everyone in one or two years at most.
In order to find out this, a large number of media people flocked to the office of Xuantian Technology Company in the capital, wanting to interview the vice president of the company. As for Zhao Yi, who is so arrogant, it is not easy to meet him. .
However, seeing this posture, Zhao Yi was a little worried about his upcoming game competition. It would be better to hide at home, but he would have to appear in public if he wanted to compete. He would inevitably be chased and intercepted by many media people.
It will probably be difficult to get out if he doesn't come up with something useful by then, so he has to think about how to say it in advance so that he can satisfy everyone's curiosity and not let off-site factors affect his plan in advance.
In fact, everyone still welcomes high technology. After all, the existence of human beings to this day is a process of constantly dealing with technology, which is also the reason why human beings have reached this point.
But technology is not always a good thing. Everything is a double-edged sword. Technology can increase productivity and provide a basis for enriching human material life. Of course, everyone welcomes this.
But if products like robots directly take away human jobs, then the problem will be huge. Even if productivity is improved, it will not have much to do with these unemployed people. On the contrary, survival will become more and more difficult.
Therefore, public opinion is currently at two extremes. The first one is the optimist, who feels that since the country allows robots to replace human labor, comprehensive arrangements will inevitably be made to prevent unemployed people from losing their source of livelihood.
In fact, everyone knows that this will definitely be the case. After all, if a large number of people lose their source of livelihood, big problems will inevitably occur. This is something the country will never allow.
It’s just that there is no final conclusion whether everyone’s income will rise or fall by then. Optimists believe that the existence of robots is to improve productivity and make people live better. It is impossible to reduce income, which is contrary to the goal.
If the development of science and technology cannot bring a better life to the people, it means that this technology is useless and cannot exist for a long time. It is a technology that has been eliminated by society.
The second one is the pessimist. Our country's economy is now very different from before. Before, it was all state-owned enterprises, everyone was responsible for the country's job, and the national government was equivalent to everyone's head.
Nowadays, the proportion of the private economy in our country's economy is quite high. Naturally, the government wants to collect more benefits and distribute them to the people. After all, it is not the government that suffers.
But private companies may not be willing to work, and a big conflict will definitely break out. If the distribution of benefits is not negotiated, it is likely that a large number of private companies will leave.
At that time, the current good economic development momentum may come to a halt because of this. We must know that the private economy accounts for nearly 80% of our country's economic structure.
The reason why our country's economy has developed so rapidly in recent years is that high-tech enterprises have made significant contributions, and most of the high-tech enterprises are private enterprises.
If consensus cannot be reached on the distribution of benefits, it means that there will be major setbacks in our country's economy, which will still affect ordinary people like them, and life will definitely be difficult.
This is a guess made by the outside world without knowing the inside story. After all, such a situation is not impossible, especially when modern capitalism is prevalent, the probability is still very high.
Therefore, for robot replacement, some people support it, some are neutral, and some people are strongly opposed to it. Anyway, it is a hot topic on the Internet, and the domestic media is like a chicken blood, sharing this feast of public opinion. (End of chapter)
