590 Unemployment Wave & Games
When Lu Yuxin politely sent off the president of Salem Group, Ma Lingyun and Ma Huaide of Penguin Group were also invited to the highest-level reception room on the top floor of the Yuxin Technology headquarters building.
After the banquet, the two received an invitation from Ge Lingyue on behalf of Wang Yufei, and followed the car to the Yuxin Technology headquarters building.
It was a surprise and of course a pleasant surprise.
Needless to say, when Wang Yufei mentioned the game link at the press conference, Ma Huaide realized that this was another opportunity for Penguin Group's revenue to reach a new high.
Of course, for little Ribaba, he may not be interested in the game. But Ma Lingyun is still interested in quantum computers.
At the current stage of e-commerce, the dependence on big data is becoming more and more heavy, and there is no doubt that quantum computers play an irreplaceable role in big data analysis.
In fact, Ma Lingyun has always had a quantum computer research project in the Damo Academy. This is enough to show how much this capital tycoon attaches importance to new technologies.
Therefore, the two attached great importance to the meeting initiated by Wang Yufei.
After the staff of the chairman's office prepared tea for the two, they left directly. It seems that after entering this building, the status of the two has become less prominent.
Of course, this is not a problem for the two bigwigs.
The big guys have a different understanding of interests than ordinary people, and they can see farther.
And at this time, Ma Huaide had more emotion in his heart.
After all, the Penguin Group was the first to discover Wang Yufei's deep potential.
Thinking that when Wang Yufei was still a high school student, he Lixian Corporal went to Star City and wanted to take this general under his command.
In terms of his status, he thought that he had done enough at that time, but he never expected that it was still not enough.
He thought of what Lu Yuxin said at the dinner table at that time, and he couldn't help but start thinking, if the Penguin Group really took out a sum of money at that time and set up a research institute similar to the Little Riba Baba Dharma Academy for the two of them to join, what would happen to the Penguin Group at this time?
Probably has surpassed Apple to become the largest technology company with the highest market capitalization in the United States, right?
Of course, this can only be imagined, and those who abandoned people on yesterday's day cannot stay.
In fact, thinking about it carefully, Ma Huaide didn't think that even if he agreed to all the conditions of Lu Yuxin at that meal, Wang Yufei would most likely not stay in Penguin for five years at most.
Wait, five years, how long has it been since that meal?
Thinking of this, Ma Huaide began to be annoyed again.
"You have had a lot of contact with Wang Yufei, what do you think he wanted to talk about when he asked the two of us to come together?" Ma Lingyun suddenly asked.
This is probably the only thing that makes the two of them wonder.
After all, the Penguin Group and Little Ribaba's relationship is not the kind of close collaborator. In fact, there are many overlapping places between the two sides, and they have been thinking about each other's private places for I don't know how long.
Penguin Group wants to make its e-commerce bigger and stronger, not to mention replacing the position of Little Ribaba, but at least it also wants to be equal, but it obviously did not succeed. Therefore, Penguin Investment relies on its deep pockets and has invested in many online shopping platforms.
Xiao Riba is also very interested in the social empire built by the Penguin Group, but he has tried to grab the market many times and finally failed to succeed because of user habits......
Even many small companies that rely on the two giants have been divided into two distinct camps.
What penguin, what Xiaoli......
There is quite a bit of-for-tat momentum.
Of course, this is no way around.
The company has achieved the size of Penguin Group and Xiaolibaba, and there is basically no possibility of cooperation. After all, if the two companies are really close and start the cooperation mode, it can basically be said that they have monopolized 90% of the industry of Huaxia Internet, which is an absolutely devastating blow to an industry.
After all, without competitive industries, there will be too many possibilities.
"I don't know. Ma Huaide looked at Ma Lingyun and shook his head, and replied frankly.
He didn't understand this young man when they first met, and he couldn't understand it even more at this time.
It's not just that Ma Huaide can't understand Wang Yufei, in fact, many people can't understand it.
They had no idea what the young man wanted.
There is no young man's kind of youthful frivolity, sitting on tens of billions of assets but not even having a luxury car of his own in his name; to say that it is a heart to do a career, the operation of dividing the enjoyment of technology into two has confused too many people, is this something that an entrepreneur with a normal IQ can do?
If he just wants to engage in scientific research and be a big scientist, he doesn't care about money at all, but his performance is not like it. As far as the two know, many of the pure business cooperation of Changxiang Technology was made by Wang Yufei, and this young man is ruthless when he wants to start the price.
In short, too many people can't understand this young man, and they can't even grasp what he really wants.
If you don't understand this, you can't find the weakness.
The Chinese people say that there is no desire, and this is probably what they mean.
Fortunately, Wang Yufei didn't let the two wait long, and the two were speechless for about three minutes, and Wang Yufei pushed the door and walked into the reception room.
"I'm sorry, I just discussed the problem of artificial intelligence with a partner, and it was time to eat at noon, so I went to eat two bites of food at random and made the two of you wait for a long time. As soon as he entered the door, Wang Yufei apologized.
Of course, he didn't really deliberately snub these two bigwigs who felt a big thing in Huaxia and related industries could shake three times, just in Wang Yufei's concept, eating is a very sacred thing and must not be ignored.
Of course, when you are hungry, you must eat first, and when you are full, you can do things better.
A simple greeting followed.
It's really simple, after Ma Lingyun and Ma Huaide said politely, Wang Yufei had already sat on the main seat, and then directly introduced the topic: "The two of you are also at the press conference today, and you probably know the ability of Xiaozhi No. 1." But what I want to say is that Xiaozhi 1 can only do more than what it said at the press conference today, and it will not be less! In other words, Yuxin Technology has the ability to solve many de-artificial problems from the technical level in a cycle of one or two years. ”
"To put it simply, machines replace manual labor to solve the problem of last mile distribution for customers, and unmanned assembly line operations will no longer be the trend, but can be expected to come to the reality, the previous labor-intensive industry needs a huge productivity is likely to be quickly replaced by machines because of the cost reduction, compared with the current industry, the express industry and manufacturing industry can reduce at least 90% of the labor. In this case, what do you think the future should be?"
Ma Lingyun and Ma Huaide looked at each other.
There is no doubt that this is a big topic, even in relation to the identities of the two.
To put it mildly, for Huaxia at present, the social impact that may be caused by the layoff of only eighty percent of the courier brother has exceeded 100% of the negative social problems caused by the layoff of all programmers and visual effects production personnel.
After all, the volume of the two is not the same.
Huaxia currently has more than 4 million programmers.
This profession is really gone, and all of these people are forced to change careers, in fact, the problem is not too big.
After all, programmers are still a high-income group in China at this stage, with some savings, and the overall average quality is relatively high, as long as they are willing to lower their living standards, they can still support their families.
But the profession of the courier brother is different.
After all, the threshold is relatively low, as long as you can ride a bicycle, it is not a big problem to be able to endure hardships and have food and clothing, which naturally attracts countless people with low knowledge levels to devote themselves to this industry. It is conservatively estimated that there are at least 10 million people engaged in the express delivery industry across the country.
If the industry suddenly disappears, who will this group of people compete with in the labor market?
Manufacturing is even more terrifying.
According to the figures given by the official statistics bureau of China, the current huge manufacturing system in China has solved the employment problem of about 200 million people.
Ninety percent of 200 million people is 180 million people.
If so many people really lose their jobs en masse one day, it will be absolutely unimaginable for the whole society, and it will also be an unbearable pain for the whole society.
Maybe many people don't like or even hate their jobs, but if one day you lose your job and suddenly have no financial resources, it will be absolutely devastating for a person living in a modern society.
"This day will come eventually, and for now, we will probably have to rely on the development of the service industry to absorb these surplus labor. Ma Lingyun was the first to speak.
But as I just said, if the express delivery industry is essentially a service industry, in our model, not to mention remote mountainous areas, at least in large and medium-sized cities, the position of courier may also be replaced. In the future, the further development of online e-commerce will further threaten the offline entity industry, which will also affect physical positions such as sales and shopping guides.
Wang Yufei asked.
All three fell silent.
It's even an unsolvable problem.
In order to perfectly solve the problem of labor spillover caused by the demise of a profession, it is essential that a new profession can perfectly digest these overflow labor forces. Vigorously developing the service industry is certainly a solution, and there is already a lot of room for development in China's service industry, but it is obviously unlikely that the service industry will be developed to the extent that it can absorb all the manufacturing labor force in two to three years.
After all, the labor-intensive manufacturing industry is already the industry that can accommodate the labor force the most, and once the manufacturing industry does not need so many people, who dares to say that this extra person will definitely be able to create a job and place these people?
"Not only that, for such a future, we can't simply just want to resettle these people, theoretically speaking, we must make these people live better and have more hope for life than before, in order to be regarded as real progress. Even when everything is automated, the industry in which manual labor is replaced by machines may expand in the future. For example, it also gives a solution to the automation of the construction industry, and this industry provides more than 200 million jobs according to incomplete statistics. Wang Yufei continued to ask.
The two bigwigs on the opposite side looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Wang Yufei directly threw out the three groups with the largest group and the most complex structure.
If the jobs of these three groups were really robbed by machines, there would simply be such a large gap in the service sector to absorb these people in a short period of time.
Not to mention that these people have a better life than before, how to solve the problem of eating these people is a big trouble.
Not to mention that any problem exists alone, which also involves a series of issues such as social security and medical insurance funds.
"At least at this stage, these questions are unsolvable, or they can be less radical. After a long silence, Ma Lingyun said again.
It's hard to imagine this coming out of the mouth of an Internet mogul with an already aggressive style.
But that's the truth.
Of course, there are solutions, as long as there are high social benefits, such as unemployment benefits, which far exceed wages, this problem can be solved.
But Huaxia is a large country with a quarter of the world's population, and it is also a developing country, far from being rich.
The unemployment of nearly 400 million people affects not only these 400 million people, but nearly 400 million families, radiating nearly three-quarters of the entire population of China.
Moreover, so many people are unemployed, and the influx of brains into the labor market will also have an impact on the entire labor market, and the competition for any job will be more intense, and the price of labor will fall further, not to mention making everyone live a better life, and maintaining the previous standard of living is an impossible task.
In short, at least for the time being, this is basically an unsolvable problem.
Rashly replacing human labor with machines will only make the entire social structure look like an extreme transformation, the winner takes all, and wealth is more concentrated, which is obviously not a stable social structure.
"That's why I invited the two of you, in fact, I think there is a way to solve it. The popularization effect of machines is to further liberate the productive forces, and the overall disposable materials of society will inevitably show an exponential increase trend, so fundamentally speaking, only the problem of social wealth distribution needs to be solved, and the problems that everyone is worried about will not appear. Even if we can handle it better, we can make everyone happier even more. Empower people to live more for their interests than for their lives. Wang Yufei said very cautiously.
These words once again caused the two bigwigs to look at each other.
Sounds really good, but how?
After a while, Ma Huaide suddenly blessed his heart, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Wang, don't you mean the quantum game that can bring a lot of things in real life into it as mentioned at the press conference?"
Wang Yufei nodded and said seriously: "That's right, two Mr. Ma, I'm talking about games." ”
"Game?!"
"What a game!"
