Chapter 539: Come Out, Unmanned Supermarket!!
After Li Zetian's Weibo was updated, it immediately caused heated discussions.
With so many workers laid off, the U.S. economy has been hit hard. People originally pinned their hopes on Li Zetian, after all, so many workers were his employees before. However, Li Zetian didn't care about this matter, which couldn't help but make the American people feel a little lost, as if they felt that Li Zetian had given up on them.
As we all know, without work, people will have no money to spend, without consumption, it will be difficult for enterprises to survive, and if enterprises cannot survive, they will go bankrupt, and if they go bankrupt, more people will lose their jobs, and the vicious circle will make the economic situation in the United States worse and worse.
The most obvious reflection of this is the collapse of the US stock market, which is on the verge of bankruptcy of many listed companies.
Moreover, foreign investors have also withdrawn from the United States.
A netizen in the United States: "Oh, damn it, Chronosli has laid off so many American workers, which has led to another crisis in the US economy, but fortunately I voted against him at the beginning! Hmph, it's ridiculous that he still wants to be the president of the United States as a Chinese! I believe that President Gall will definitely solve the employment problem with so many laid-off workers!"
"That's right, we have to believe President Gal that the problem of workers' employment will be solved soon, and the White House is actively trying to find a way. ”
"Find a way? There are already a lot of unemployed people in the United States, but we haven't seen the government solve the employment problem for them, and now there are hundreds of thousands of more people, you say, how can the US government solve it? If you want me to say, Chronosli has more ways than the US government! With so many companies under his name, he can easily solve the employment problem of millions of people!"
"If Chronosli becomes president, will it still be a problem to find a job? Because too many fools have not supported him to become president, and people are now focusing their investments abroad, no wonder he wants to lay off employees on a large scale!"
"Chronosli must have been deeply disappointed in the United States, and he has made unparalleled contributions to the economy, science and technology, education, health care, charity, and employment in the United States, but the result is that the Americans still do not approve of him. Whoever this kind of thing rests on will be uncomfortable!"
……
White House.
Since Li Zetian did not intend to help the U.S. government deal with these unemployed workers, President Gal had to contact other consortia.
It's just that with so many workers, these consortia can't eat it. In addition, at this time, the American consortium was suppressed by Li Zetian, and it was difficult for the mud bodhisattva to cross the river. The power of many consortia was eaten by Li Zetian.
To say that solving the employment problem of American workers is only a matter of Li Zetian's words.
It's a pity that Li Zetian didn't agree, and he intensified his efforts, he wanted to make more Americans unemployed.
……
The construction of the factory with artificial intelligence robots is complete.
A large number of low-profile robots have begun to be produced, and the main material used in the bodies of these low-profile robots is steel, so the cost is very different from the cost of EVE, less than 5,000 US dollars.
And the artificial intelligence program, almost zero cost.
The produced AI robots are quickly transported to the factory to participate in the work.
These robots may be a little unfamiliar with their jobs at first, but they are very capable of learning and are quickly able to do their jobs, and they are producing faster and faster. At the same time, Chronos Industries has more data support, which is conducive to improving and perfecting AI robots.
Of course, Li Zetian's unmanned factory has always attracted much attention.
When the video of the unmanned factory broke out on the Internet, the whole world couldn't help but be shocked! People thought they had stepped into a science fiction movie!
"No wonder there will be layoffs, it turns out that artificial intelligence robots are used to replace workers' jobs, it's really awesome!"
"Damn, it's amazing to see so many robots!!"
After watching the video, the eyes of a factory owner lit up: "If my factory also uses robots, it can greatly reduce labor costs and improve production efficiency!"
For a time, major factories around the world have consulted Chronos Industries about the situation, intending to buy robots.
It is not difficult to imagine that more and more unmanned factories will appear in the future.
……
When everyone was still surprised by the "unmanned factory", Li Zetian had already begun to plan an unmanned supermarket.
"Unmanned supermarket ???"
Dongfang Yuqin was stunned when she heard Li Zetian mention the unmanned supermarket.
Li Zetian smiled faintly: "That's right, it's a supermarket with no one! There is no need for a cashier in the supermarket, customers can leave the supermarket directly after selecting good things, and complete a shopping happily and quickly." ”
Dongfang Yuqin thought for a moment and asked, "Then how do they pay?"
"It's simple," Li Zetian said with a smile, "brush your face to pay!"
Dongfang Yuqin was even more shocked and asked, "How do you pay for brushing your face?"
"Face recognition scanning machines are installed at the entrance and exit of the supermarket, when the customer enters the unmanned supermarket for the first time, the face recognition scanning machine will scan the customer once, the unmanned database does not change the customer's face ID, then, the face recognition scanning machine will make a sound to prompt the user to scan the QR code on the machine, and bind the customer's face ID to payment software such as PayPal or Alipay. ”
"When a customer leaves the supermarket, the facial recognition scanning machine at the exit will also scan and verify the customer, so as to complete the payment function. Of course, there is also a machine that scans the goods......"
After Li Zetian finished speaking, Dongfang Yuqin felt a little incredible, but after thinking about it carefully, Li Zetian's unmanned supermarket plan was very feasible.
"Is face recognition technology reliable? What if I make a mistake?" Dongfang Yuqin worried.
"The unmanned supermarket is equipped with the kind of face recognition scanning machine, which is a large-scale, relatively sophisticated advanced instrument, and the accuracy can reach more than 99.9% under close recognition. ”
"The things sold in the supermarket are not expensive, and even if we make a mistake, we can compensate and urge us to improve our technology. At the same time, we can also collect customers' Face ID data on a large scale through unmanned supermarkets. With these Face IDs, we can also cooperate with governments around the world, for example, in terms of surveillance......"
Dongfang Yuqin couldn't help but nod at this time, the concept of unmanned supermarket is very gimmicky, and it will definitely attract many people to come to the shopping experience. And because the supermarket cashier is eliminated, the cost of the supermarket will be greatly reduced. In the future, supermarket tally clerks will also be replaced by robots, which can reduce costs.
Dongfang Yuqin thought for a while and said: "Right now, the U.S. economy is in a recession, coupled with the impact of e-commerce, many American supermarkets are not doing well, and we can take the opportunity to buy them." ”
"Well, that's right, but it's better not to expose us to the people behind it. Li Zetian paused, and then said, "First, it won't make Wal-Mart and other supermarket giants take precautions;
"Okay, I know, then I'll arrange it now!"
"Well, you're in charge of buying supermarkets, so I'll be in charge of the technical side!"
After the two finished talking, they went their separate ways.
……
Soon, a month passed, the problem of workers' employment was not well solved, and many American citizens could not help but start complaining and questioning President Gall's ability.
"It's been so long, but the jobs of the unemployed have not been resolved, what are President Gall and the U.S. government doing!"
"According to the statistics of relevant agencies, the number of unemployed people in the United States is still increasing day by day!"
The Wall Street Journal: "In total, the Dow Jones has fallen by more than 1,100 points since last month, and the situation in the US stock market is not optimistic!"
Li Zetian learned from the news that due to the economic downturn in the United States, many companies have laid off employees, and the number of unemployed people in the United States has increased by more than 750,000.
So many people are unemployed again, okay!!
Li Zetian felt very happy in his heart, although it would also cause him a loss, but Li Zetian no longer looked at that money. Li Zetian focuses on the global market, and the loss of the US market alone is actually nothing. In fact, his companies are all profitable, just not as much as they used to be.
So far, Li Zetian's worth has far exceeded other people's imagination, ten trillion US dollars, no, has already exceeded 20 trillion US dollars, and 30 trillion US dollars is not far away!
The richer you are, the faster you can make money.
There is a world of difference between investing 100 million yuan and investing 10,000 yuan.
Li Zetian's accumulated wealth will become more and more in the future, and it will become more and more terrifying!!
Dongfang Yuqin's acquisition of supermarkets was very rapid, and in this month, it acquired five large and medium-sized supermarket groups, with a total of more than 3,200 stores, some of which are not in the United States. But it doesn't matter, sooner or later, unmanned supermarkets will have to enter the overseas market.
Next, supermarkets have to buy.
Wal-Mart has 8,500 stores in 15 countries around the world, and Li Zetian, as the richest man in the world, has only more than 3,500 stores.
Soon, another month passed.
At this time, Dongfang Yuqin has acquired nearly 10,000 stores, of which nearly 3,500 stores are located in the United States.
With 3,500 stores across the United States, it's clearly enough.
As a result, since the end of March 2011, many supermarkets in the United States have been renovated.
Since the supermarket is going to be renovated, it is natural that the supermarket will not open for business in a short time.
So......
That's right, layoffs again!!
Many supermarkets under Li Zetian's name have started large-scale layoffs, with as many as 600,000 employees!
600,000 is actually not the total number of supermarket employees under Li Zetian's name, Wal-Mart has 2.2 million employees, and the number of supermarkets under Li Zetian's name is more than Wal-Mart, so the number of employees is naturally more, as high as 2.6 million, and the 600,000 layoffs basically belong to these supermarket employees in the United States!
600,000 is not a small number, and the layoffs immediately caused a huge sensation in the United States.
"Oh God, how come all of a sudden there are so many supermarkets going to lay off employees?"
"Oh my God, another 600,000 workers are unemployed!!"
"I read the news report, it seems that these supermarkets are being renovated and will not be open for business in a short time, so this is the layoff. Just wait until the supermarket reopens, and they should be hiring new employees!"
The White House, USA.
President Gal put down the papers, his face extremely ugly: "What is the situation, how can so many companies renovate almost at the same time?"
"Your Excellency the President, if it was a supermarket in the past, they would never have such financial resources! In the last month or two, there have been a lot of supermarket mergers and acquisitions in the United States, and now I think about it very strangely, I speculate that these supermarket mergers and acquisitions should be related to chronosli. At this time, a middle-aged lady standing in front of President Gal immediately said. She is Bryce, an aide to President Gall.
After hearing this, President Gal set the table and said loudly: "It is not the should, but it is him! Who else in the world can !! except him with such financial resources?"
Bryce pondered for a while and said, "Your Excellency, you don't have to worry too much, after these supermarkets are renovated, if they want to open, they will definitely recruit ......"
When President Gal heard this, he was in a slightly better mood, and he also felt that the supermarket would definitely recruit people after the renovation.
However, the fact that so many people are unemployed at the moment is too much of a headache for the government.
"Bryce, you go and contact other supermarkets, such as Walmart and Good Store, and try to recommend these people to their supermarkets!"
"Okay, Your Excellency President, I know, I'll get in touch right away!"
……
Walmart Inc., in the conference room.
A middle-aged man with a big belly wondered: "Are these supermarkets crazy? It's just a matter of renovating, and so many employees have been dismissed, if they want to recruit people again, it will not be easy!"
"yes, I don't know what they think!"
"Everyone, this matter should not be underestimated!" At this time, the CEO of Wal-Mart frowned and said: "According to our intelligence data analysis, the behind-the-scenes bosses of these supermarkets should be the richest man in the world. He bought so many supermarkets at once, obviously menacing, we have to guard against it!"
"Hehe, doesn't Chronosli think that e-commerce is better than physical stores, and actually started a supermarket!" someone pouted and scoffed.
The CEO of Wal-Mart said in a deep voice: "Okay, no matter what, this is very unfavorable for us! Oh, by the way, just now the assistant to the US president Bryce called and said that these 600,000 unemployed supermarket employees, I hope we Wal-Mart can help solve some ......."
"Do you want us to help again?" No, resolutely no, this greatly increases the labor cost!" the pot-bellied middle-aged man shook his head.
The CEO of Walmart said, "I think I can think about it. This group of unemployed people are supermarket employees with rich work experience, and we can recruit the best of them into the company. In addition, for the employees with poor internal performance, we can take this opportunity to kick them out and replace them with a batch of fresh blood!"
After speaking, everyone couldn't help but nod their heads.
"It's really a double win, it can not only meet the requirements of the White House, but also make the company change blood!"
Other supermarkets are similar to Wal-Mart, so it is clear that Gal is counting on these supermarkets to absorb 600,000 employees.
In times of economic downturn, companies generally lay off employees, where will they hire more employees?
……
The decoration of unmanned supermarkets is different from that of traditional supermarkets. Unmanned supermarket is an intelligent supermarket, is a kind of new retail, will rely on the Internet, the use of big data, artificial intelligence and other advanced technology means, the production, circulation and sales process of goods to upgrade, and then reshape the format structure and ecosystem, and online services, offline experience and modern logistics for deep integration, the store will pay more attention to the classification of goods and information display, in order to facilitate the robot tally and system management.
In mid-May, the unmanned supermarkets in the United States were almost finished renovating, so the unmanned supermarkets were about to start operating.
Li Zetian kissed a smile on the corner of his mouth, looked into the distance, and said lightly:
"Come out, Tmall supermarket !!"
