Chapter 536: Anyway, the sky is falling, and there is a tall one on top of it [Second Update]
"Guys, I'm not alarmist, everyone will understand why I said that"
"First, the large-scale application of cleaning robots will allow us to eliminate all the cleaning positions in the company, mopping the floor, cleaning the glass, cleaning the internal and external walls of the company, etc., which can be completed by cleaning robots."
"I'm not kidding, a simple cleaning robot can already do this kind of work, and it only takes a team of 12 people to be responsible for the cleaning of the entire Squish headquarters"
"At present, the company has more than 300 cleaning staff, and these will become redundant"
"Second, with the development of network technology, we will eliminate the direct store department, and all users can buy our software products from the Internet, and there is no need to open any direct stores to experience."
"In the whole country, there are more than 3,000 people in the directly operated store department, and all of these people will be eliminated"
"More than 10,000 people in Europe, Asia and other countries are also facing the problem of unemployment."
"Third, the secretarial position, with the testing of artificial intelligence, the work of secretaries, clerks, this type of personnel can be completely replaced"
"Statistics, artificial intelligence is completely competent, writing reports, making reports, etc., is not a big problem for artificial intelligence"
"As far as I know, Xu's Tianqi Technology headquarters has started artificial intelligence testing, and it has been going on for almost ten months, what you need to do, you just need to say a word into the air," Gates said here, glancing at Xu Ping'an.
Xu Ping'an frowned, understanding the meaning in Gates's eyes, don't think that we don't know what you're doing, we won't admit defeat, who wins and who loses in the future is not certain.
The challenge is clear.
Everyone was shocked, looking at Xu Ping'an, who was sitting there with a calm face, the Apocalypse Group had already launched a test, is there any mistake, this is to turn science fiction into reality.
Xu Ping'an was thinking about one thing in his mind at the moment, who leaked the news, and the voice of Xingling appeared in Xu Ping'an's mind, "Zhang Jianbin knows it, it's no different from the people of the world who know, it's the news that you leaked yourself."
A long sigh in his heart, low-key, why don't I know how to be low-key, show it everywhere, it's good now, I'm going to be bored soon.
"Fourth, the development department is compressed, to be honest, our company's development department has a lot of personnel, and it is also very bloated, although the categories are very detailed, but there are many dispensable research and development"
"If these dispensable projects are cut, the company's R&D personnel will be reduced by 30% at all, and there will be no need to set up R&D centers abroad."
"Based on these four points, we cut half of the staff, do you think it may or is impossible"
"Of course, I won't do it now, but as the competition becomes more and more fierce, this day will come sooner or later, and when the time comes, layoffs will be inevitable."
"Therefore, I hope that everyone will really speak freely, and we will work together to resolve this contradiction and avoid the worst possibility."
"Thank you," Gates said and bowed to everyone before going down, and everyone applauded.
With Gates taking the lead, three more people soon came to the stage to share, and one was more serious than the other, and Parris of the Mayfield Group said it was even more terrifying.
With more than 600,000 employees in Europe alone, more than 200,000 in Asia and more than 200,000 in the Americas, it would be very easy to lay off 300,000 people if the production line was changed to an automated assembly line.
The consequences of the increase in the number of unemployed people in various countries will not decrease in the global market, and if the economy collapses, no country in the world will be spared.
At this time, Leonardo stood up and said, "Everyone, it's not early, let's have lunch together, rest for a while, and we will continue to share at two o'clock in the afternoon".
Everyone is relaxed, and Xu Ping'an is the same, the international economy is a big game of chess, and you need a chess player of sufficient level to play.
There is no doubt that the people gathered today are chess players, Xu Ping'an is keenly aware that the topic this time is not so simple, let's take a look.
"Xu, you've really started an AI test over there," Norton asked.
Many people on the side looked at Xu Ping'an, wanting to see if Xu Ping'an would admit this, this is not a trivial matter, this is a major event related to the future.
Xu Ping'an sighed in his heart, and knew that someone was going to ask this question, "Yes, you know the national conditions of the Celestial Empire, and it is only a part of the functional test of artificial intelligence, and it is still very far from being truly qualified."
"As far as I know, Softsoft and Guge have been conducting their AI tests for more than four years."
Many people were shocked, Fack, is there any mistake, what do you companies want to do, and they have developed to this extent.
It's okay
"Xu, is there any possibility of practical application of artificial intelligence in three years" Adnan looked at Xu Ping'an with a solemn expression.
Xu Ping'an hesitated for a moment and clicked Adnan "I analyze, it is very likely, after all, they have been tested for many years, and they are relatively mature in all aspects, and there is a great possibility of practical application within three years."
"You know, they're all working with the military on related projects."
Adnan was very smart, fully understood what Xu Ping'an meant, nodded seriously, everyone stood up, and began to walk outside, this morning's meeting, I knew a lot of things that I didn't know before.
Lunch was held in the garden, barbecue, everyone drank wine and ate meat, and exchanged ideas in twos and threes, when Xu Ping'an was talking to Xiusi.
Gates walked over with an apologetic letter on his face, "Xu, sorry, for revealing your trade secrets."
Xu Ping'an smiled, shook hands with Gates very much and said, "It's okay, there was no confidentiality arrangement when the test was first taken, it doesn't matter, this kind of test will not be fruitful in a few years."
"By the way, as far as I know, your soft company has been testing for several years, can you tell me how far you have progressed," Xu Ping'an asked with a smile on his face.
Old fox, this is Gates's evaluation of Xu Ping'an, now he asks it in front of himself, he is really difficult to answer, he just expressed his apology to the other party before, and if he doesn't answer now, he will be looked down upon.
"It's difficult, our current progress is still at the stage of advanced question answering machines, the logic algorithm is stuck, and the neural network way of thinking is difficult to perfect," Gates said bluntly.
"Awesome, several steps more advanced than our Apocalypse Group, we have not yet developed into neural networks, I believe that Softsoft must be the first company in the world to withdraw from artificial intelligence products"
"I want to buy shares, can you sell me some shares cheaply, I am very optimistic about the development of your company," Xu Ping'an said with a smile.
Including Gates, they all laughed, even if you know that Xu Ping'an is joking, you can't be careless, it can be seen from this Blizzard incident that Xu Ping'an's possessiveness is very strong.
If you really want to enter the board of directors of the soft company, you will definitely make a lot of trouble.
"I have no opinion, however, my shares cannot be sold to you, after all, I don't have much left, you can buy other people's shares, I support you to enter the board," Gates said with a smile on his face, showing great generosity.
Xu Ping'an also smiled, both of them knew that what they just said was the opposite, and Gates meant very clearly, and they would do their best to stop Xu Ping'an from joining the board of directors of Softsoft Company.
The two had a tacit understanding and diverted the topic and began to discuss other issues, and the others were also laughing, as for what they thought in their hearts, no one knew.
It's all old foxes, and it's a basic skill to be moody, and outsiders can't guess what these people think in their hearts.
After the barbecue, many people went to the guest room lounge to rest, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, they began to continue sharing.
It has been suggested that the 60 people present would unite into a coalition to coordinate with each other and force governments to work together to save future changes for the benefit of all.
Xu Ping'an involuntarily had a picture in his mind, first asking questions, then publicizing the destructiveness of the problem, and then blowing the wind, which is the way it is now, so that you can have a mental preparation in advance.
The next step is a showdown, forcing you to unite, forcing you to compromise, forcing you to make concessions, forcing you to join the alliance.
Lao Tzu is a tribe or not, it is not on the same road as you.
These were Xu Ping'an's thoughts, and he began to think about them crankily.
A person frowned and was thinking, many people saw Xu Ping'an's expression, and they all consciously didn't bother Xu Ping'an's thinking, and there were many people like Xu Ping'an, who were thinking about this issue seriously.
The afternoon was short, more than two hours over, and they returned to their lodgings and resumed tomorrow, this time for four days, and this was the first day, and there was time to discuss the issue.
Everyone has something on their minds, no one comes to chat with Xu Ping'an, they all think about this problem in their own residence, without employment, people's purchasing power will plummet.
Soon it will develop into chaos, and if you don't want to starve to death, you will start to think of other ways, and at that time, in order to maintain the stability of the country, I am afraid, you will have to go to the path of war.
When the war is over and the population is drastically reduced, a new round of prosperity begins.
It's a brutal reincarnation
On the road of human historical development, there has never been a way out of this kind of reincarnation, how to solve this problem, Xu Ping'an also began to think.
In the end, I simply didn't want to, I had dinner, took a shower and went straight to sleep, and I will talk about it tomorrow, anyway, the sky is falling and there is a tall one.
