Of course, in this era, even if people discuss the problems in the book, they are only regarded as a pastime, and will not really be regarded as a social issue, but I believe that it will also provide them with a different mode of thinking, so that they can be prepared, and when that era really comes, everyone will find that Liu Lang saw this problem twenty years ago, which is the highest state of "pretending to be forced".

Professor Wilson has also begun to study computers in recent years, and it is not possible to study it, and now the computer industry in the United States is getting bigger and bigger, and it can sell more than 300,000 personal computers every year, while four years ago this number was only 50,000, that is to say, in just four years, computer sales have skyrocketed sixfold, according to relevant data, the sales of computers in the United States will exceed 500,000 units this year, and will approach 1 million units next year。

Professor Wilson is an economist and is not very familiar with the computer industry, but when the computer industry has begun to affect human society, it is necessary to study, and he also has many friends and students who are engaged in the computer industry.

Many national strategic institutions are developing technologies related to them, and even Harvard University has received relevant national funds for project research and development.

Professor Wilson was not far behind, and began to study the book, and the more he researched, the more interesting it became, and as a result, he became half a computer fan over the years.

Of course, he, a computer fan, just thinks that the book "Digital Survival" is really well written, especially the predictions beyond the brain hole are breathtaking, as for the technical aspects, he doesn't know, and he can't learn it.

Now Liu Lang took out another copy of "Out of Control", and after turning a few pages, he found that this book was one step deeper than "Digital Survival", and it was obvious that Liu Lang's thinking had evolved again.

It is hard to imagine that Liu Lang can "comprehend" such a good and profound truth in a backward place in China, it seems that his way of thinking is completely different from others, ordinary people think about a problem is affected by objective factors, such a person talks about facts and reason, while Liu Lang thinks about problems completely subjectively, and what he writes is not boundary, and has a rich imagination.

If this kind of imagination is placed on others, then he is a science fiction man, but it is completely different when it is placed on Liu Lang, the book "The Third Industrial Wave" was written five years ago, five years have passed, and the prophecy in Liu Lang's book has begun to gradually come true, especially the statement on China is completely correct, this huge country is developing at an unimaginable speed, and has become a force to be reckoned with in the world.

Wilson gave the manuscript of "Out of Control" to his assistant Louis Wang, a depressed young man who had grown into an excellent associate professor after a few years of experience, and wrote two papers published in the top magazines in the United States, so that Professor Wilson was very optimistic about him, felt that this young man could inherit his mantle, and recommended him to become a researcher at the National Institute of Economic Research.

The National Economic Research Institute is an unofficial organization under the U.S. Department of Economic and Trade and is mainly responsible for formulating the country's economic development, Professor Wilson is the deputy director of this institute, which is half a public official, and can directly meet the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Economic and Trade Department.

Louis Wang is now proud, but seeing Liu Lang is still in order, from a personal point of view, without Liu Lang there would be no him today, so Liu Lang is his benefactor, in terms of social status, Liu Lang's achievements are not comparable to him as a researcher, Professor Wilson is not powerful? Isn't it still the same to meet Liu Lang in person to make an appointment? And Liu Lang is really capable, and a manuscript makes Professor Wilson very happy.

Liu Lang and Professor Wilson talked a lot, mostly about the U.S. economy, the U.S. economy has shrunk a little in recent years, and the local economy has continued to be sluggish, the most obvious is the automotive industry, many car companies are struggling to operate.

The reason is very simple, the labor cost in the United States is very high, which is of course a good thing, a symbol of the country's wealth, but the cost is very troublesome for enterprises, enterprises pursue profits, high costs and low profits, and no one can stand it for a long time.

There are many ways to solve the cost problem, such as reducing employees and reducing wages, which is the simplest, but the state and the employee union do not agree, the employment rate is an important indicator of the country, and it is not good to let the enterprise go down for no reason, and the employee union will certainly not agree, if they don't do well, they will go on a collective strike, and then everyone will break up.

These two ways can only be indicators can not cure the root cause, the key to reducing costs is to improve productivity, the United States mechanization is already the world's top level, and then to improve productivity to begin to develop to information integration, the United States is transitioning to this aspect, but this takes time, not a short time to solve.

There is also a direction that can quickly reduce production costs, that is, Liu Lang's "Wave of the Third Industry" said internationalization, globalization, a large number of industrial production to low-cost places, so that the cost will be reduced a lot, Nike is this model, the United States does not build factories at all, all in China production, employing local residents, labor costs alone are more than ten times lower than the United States.

Another benefit of this is the expansion of the market, the expansion of the market, the increase of products, which is also a way to increase profits.

Now the US economic circles are also discussing this issue, and the side represented by Wilson vigorously agrees with globalization, expanding markets, transferring industries, and so on, basically according to what is said in the "Third Industrial Wave", and enterprises also want to do this, but the American trade unions do not approve of it, feeling that doing so will make their own industrial workers unemployed, which is unacceptable.

Of course, the people in the trade union only focus on the present, and the so-called unemployment actually does not exist, and Liu Lang's "The Third Industrial Wave" also makes it clear that the tertiary industry will become the largest economic growth point, and those industrial workers will have a lot of opportunities as long as they change careers.

Professor Wilson is a strong supporter of the tertiary industry, and many economists are like him, but there are still some people in the United States who oppose it, they feel that the world's economy cannot be supported by the retreat industry of the tertiary industry, and there are supporters on both sides, that is, the two major parties in the United States.

The supporters of internationalization and globalization are the Democratic Party, and those who do not support the Republican Party, anyway, the two parties are against each other, because Liu Lang's book "The Wave of the Tertiary Industry" is very famous and is the best-selling economic book in the United States in recent years, so experts and politicians on both sides always list certain passages in this book when debating with each other, and Liu Lang has become famous in the ears of those politicians.
