Chapter 1090: The Robot That Sells Big
Although Detroit is famous, it is only a small city. The population is only about 600,000, which is not even as large as a county town in China.
A hundred intelligent robots are like diligent little bees, busy except for charging time.
Six hours of work and one hour of charging. This kind of work efficiency is very high.
As night falls, there are fewer and fewer people on the streets. But the diligent robots are still busy. Cleaning up the garbage you see, cleaning up the streets that are a little shabby.
The next morning, when the people of Detroit woke up, they suddenly found that the whole city was different. A hundred robots were busy for a day and a night, and the entire city was basically cleaned.
The main block, in particular, has completely changed. It's still a little shabby, but it's very clean.
This kind of clean environment suddenly makes everyone's mood different. Everyone wants to live in a clean place, even if Detroit is now predominantly black.
The clean neighborhood completely showed everyone the efficiency of the robot. This efficiency is very high. They can guarantee that even 100 skilled cleaners will not be able to clean Detroit so cleanly in a single day.
Man needs rest, man knows how to be tired. Very few people in the U.S. choose to work overtime, even as cleaners.
The working hours are less, the work efficiency is low, and compared with the robot, the efficiency of people is too low. Not only that, but the robot also saves money.
A cleaner can get $3,000 a month in the United States. That's $36,000 a year.
And a robot only costs about $160,000. If you don't buy a robot to use labor, you can use labor for up to five years.
But the minimum service life of the robot is ten years, plus there is no need to worry about resignation, no complaints, no need to buy insurance, no need to bear various risks, etc.
All in all, it is too cost-effective to use robots in countries like the United States, where labor costs are relatively high. In the service industry, labor costs should be reduced by at least half.
This is an account that ordinary people can calculate, let alone the United States, where capitalists gather. In the United States, labor costs are a very large expense, so many things are replaced very quickly in the United States.
Service robots are almost inseparable from any company. In the U.S., many companies outsource their cleaning work to specialized cleaning companies.
They regularly go and clean these companies and then get a commission. Now seeing the efficiency of the robots, these companies immediately took action.
Service robots, like cars, can be paid in installments up to five years.
If the first day of listing was to see the freshness, then after seeing the powerful effect of Detroit, many companies took direct action.
Longteng Group's orders came like snowflakes. The profit-seeking nature of the capitalists was revealed at this time.
For capitalists, their essence is the pursuit of profit. As for the issue of unemployment, this is a matter of concern to the government and has nothing to do with them.
All they have to do is to reduce costs as much as possible and make a profit. With service robots, they can cut unnecessary jobs.
Although layoffs require some compensation to employees, it is much more cost-effective than continuing to use employees.
Layoffs are a very normal thing for American bosses, and there are many reasons to find them. The replacement of human labor by robots is nothing new in the United States.
Now, service robots are coming. Let the United States usher in another wave of layoffs. Many companies have held meetings to lay off a number of employees to ease the financial pressure.
In just one morning, Longteng Group received hundreds of thousands of orders in the United States. In addition to American companies, there are also a large number of orders from wealthy people.
For these rich people, this amount of money is nothing at all. In the eyes of many people, robots are much cheaper than hiring a maid, and they are much more reassuring.
The middle class, in particular, earns around $200,000 a year. For them, spending about a year's income to buy a robot can greatly improve their quality of life.
Future Hotel, the latest hotel chain brand to rise in the United States in the past two years. The future hotel is not a good hotel, but a fast chain hotel brand, and the price is civilian.
However, in the past two years, the pace of expansion of the hotel in the future has been very fast. The style of the future hotel is obvious, and like the name, it is completely full of technology.
With the theme of the future, each room is decorated in a different style. It is completely decorated in accordance with the style of science fiction movies, and the familiar style of science fiction movies can be seen here.
In addition to the decoration of science fiction, the household appliances inside are also intelligent. And the largest shareholder behind the future hotel is Zhang Fan.
The hotel of the future is now very popular with young people, and the various themes in it make them feel that it is full of excitement.
Today, the future hotel has more than 200 stores in the United States. The total number of employees is more than 6,000, which is not a small scale.
At the headquarters of the hotel of the future, a high-level meeting is being held. And the content of this meeting is to lay off employees, lay off some employees to save costs.
Lay off employees and replace them with smart robots. This is the plan of the future hotel, for which the future hotel has ordered 500 intelligent robots from Longteng Group, and these 500 robots are equipped with top-level cleaning packages.
This kit has been developed specifically for the hospitality industry. Intelligent robots equipped with this kit work more meticulously.
Compared with sweeping the street, the cleaning of the hotel needs to be more careful, more meticulous and cleaner.
Cleaning different items requires different tools, unused cleaning fluids, etc. That's the power of this kit, with different cleaning methods depending on the item.
And it is more efficient than a person, and it can work 24 hours a day. Guests can pack up their rooms as soon as they check out.
According to the plan given by Longteng Group, the work efficiency of one robot is higher than that of two humans.
So this layoff, the number of layoffs on the hotel side in the future is also very large. The scale of the layoffs is as high as 1,000 people, accounting for one-sixth of the total workforce.
And this is just the beginning, if the robot performs well, the hotel will continue to lay off employees in the future. At the same time, the hotel will continue to expand in the future, and the number of employees used in the expanded new stores will also be greatly reduced.
The service robot and the theme of the hotel of the future are very compatible. Therefore, there is no obstacle to the meeting, and it is not the top management who is being laid off, which is beneficial to them.
