Chapter 612 612 Reform of Labor-Intensive Industries
When the world is slipping more and more to the brink of war, Qi Yiming is not only concerned about things outside the national border, but also the development of his own country. Theoretically, China does not need a major war to assert its world leadership or seize more resources and living space, and through Qi Yiming's efforts in the past ten years, China has mastered all the resources within the SCO, and it will take at least half a century to fully digest them. China is far from reaching the stage of maturity, although more than a decade of rapid development has made the country from poverty and backwardness to the world's largest economy in terms of purchasing power parity, but compared with developed countries, there are still some gaps.
China's economy is developing under the blueprint of Qi Yiming's plan, and there is no such thing as "market for technology", "low-value-added low-end industries are the mainstay", "the coastal areas get rich first, and the interior waits". Because Qi Yiming can provide a large number of technical and even high-end technical talents, it took China several years to absorb and finally transform into a technological power.
In the past ten years, it has also created several times more talents and high-tech labor than the other side. This is mainly due to the fact that Qi Yiming has paid special attention to the development of the education industry from the beginning, not only the country's education system is constantly reforming and progressing, but also the development of the private education industry is also vigorous. On the one hand, Qi Yiming uses the talents provided by the Red Police Base as seeds to cultivate new talents, and on the other hand, he also spends a lot of money to recruit teachers from all over the world, even if he cannot be resident in China, he can be a visiting scholar for a period of time. This has led to the mushrooming of thousands of institutions of higher learning in China over the past decade.
More universities naturally produce more college students, and Qi Yiming once heard that Chinese college students are like stupid geese, without creativity, lack of communication skills, bad character, lack of competitiveness, and university enrollment is shoddy. However, after China's economic development continued to develop, Qi Yiming felt that even though Chinese universities may be inferior to foreign famous universities, the huge population base and large proportion of outstanding students still enabled China to establish a huge talent pool. China can train 100 software engineers, the United States may only be able to train single digits, even if these 100 engineers are not as good as American engineers on average, but the top few are not worse than them, and the average level can be qualified for some basic work, and the United States does not have enough people, so naturally it cannot do these things.
Therefore, the cultivation of talents does not simply lie in the excellence of talents, but in many cases lies in making the best use of talents, making the best use of materials, and maximizing their own advantages.
In fact, not only higher education, but also social continuing education is also a large part of Qi Yiming's construction of China's education industry. There are quite a number of people who have already worked, with the development of society and the times, feel that they are increasingly unable to keep up with the situation, so companies and enterprises will generally provide such re-education opportunities for the company's employees at public expense, and these education is outsourced to some educational institutions, some may be colleges and universities, and some are specialized training institutions.
These training institutions may be involved in various fields, but most of them are more practical and technical, and some teachers are even directly senior engineers in some enterprises. Of course, in addition to these, there are also some more general courses, such as business administration, marketing, foreign languages and other local subjects.
In particular, some state-owned enterprises, because of the above policy, so they need to organize employees to learn every year, and if the policy is to learn new skills through the employees have rewards and promotion opportunities, so many employees are more serious about this.
Then there are some extracurricular educational institutions for teenagers, another very typical example is the New Oriental foreign language training, and a variety of training institutions in this plane emerge in endlessly, in addition to the school's tutoring classes, there are also a variety of hobbies, such as music, art, martial arts, dance, etc., have basically formed a formal industrialization, some relatively large training institutions have hundreds of branches in the country.
In this way, China's education industry has naturally become a very important industry, especially in the period when residents' incomes are rising, Chinese parents are more willing to spend money on their children's education, so the expansion of the education industry is quite rapid, and at the same time, it also accommodates a large number of employed people into this industry.
As the world's largest country, China has the most abundant working population in the world, and the quality and level of this working population are also constantly improving. At the beginning, Qi Yiming was not picky, and he could engage in any kind of industry, especially labor-intensive industries, which were important industries to digest China's huge labor population. Industries such as light textiles, toys, and leather have made great progress in China, and have continuously accepted batches of migrant workers from rural areas to become industrial laborers, and have promoted China's industrial structure reform and urbanization.
If it is a normal development, China will have about a decade to slowly encounter the bottleneck of labor-intensive industrial transformation, and then gradually shift from low-value-added labor-intensive to high-tech industries. However, due to China's balanced and rapid development, the renminbi is also appreciating, and labor costs are also rising, so far labor-intensive industries are not very good, and a large number of enterprises with poor competitiveness have been eliminated, and there are unemployed people, which makes China face a relatively large labor transformation problem.
In addition to some support programs carried out by the state, in addition to improving the labor capacity of these low-level migrant workers, it is also more reliable to guide them into other service industries in an orderly manner. Either way, they need to improve their skills, and educational institutions and the education industry play a major role in this. It can be said that in many countries, finance and real estate are more typical service industries, but the growth of China's education industry is unexpected.
Another thing that has a great impact on China's labor-intensive industries is the robot production line that Qi Yiming introduced to China's industry after he was promoted to Lv3 in the Red Police Base and can carry out complex production tasks with almost no labor. The robot technology of the Red Alert base has entered a full maturity period after Lv3, and in fact, it can produce terrifying robots for combat, and it is naturally not a problem to produce industrial robots. After the base is upgraded, the production price of industrial robots has been greatly reduced, and Qi Yiming also has a large amount of spare capacity to put into the production of these things.
In particular, the use of the new generation of industrial robots is simpler, and the ability is more powerful, and there are fewer failures, and this new technology has gradually begun to show the ability to replace normal labor. In particular, the use of industrial robots to replace manpower on a certain scale can produce greater effects.
If China is a country with a small population and a lack of labor, with this new generation of industrial robots, it is estimated that it will be happy, but China has hundreds of millions of working people, and its own employment problem is a huge burden.
Therefore, even if Qi Yiming has the ability to mass-produce robot production lines, he does not dare to promote it easily, and it is mainly tried in industries that lack production capacity. Relatively high-end industrial robots can process and manufacture some products with complex production processes and high requirements, and the use of manpower may not be as effective as industrial robots, so in some large-scale precision industries, there are similar to military industry, optical manufacturing, precision machinery production, Qi Yiming has added a large number of industrial robots to enhance their production capacity.
It is conservatively estimated that before the use of large-scale industrial robots, Chengfei was able to produce 120-160 fighter aircraft per year, and after the use of large-scale industrial robot production lines, its production capacity instantly expanded to more than 300 aircraft per year, doubling the production. And this is still calculated on the same unit, if Chengfei expands its scale, its production capacity may be comparable to the number of several aircraft factories in Europe and the United States combined.
However, in Qi Yiming's blueprint, a large number of industries that carry out simple and repetitive labor in the future will be transferred to these industrial robots that will not be tired and more accurate, and more human labor can be liberated to engage in more creative work. Qi Yiming never felt that the liberal arts or art industry was useless for a strong country, but industry could strengthen a country's bones, but literary and artistic things could enrich a country's mind and soul. If you are a person with an empty soul and a strong body, it is impossible for you to live and develop healthily, and sooner or later there will be problems.
More and more people are engaged in literary and artistic work, whether it is making music, making movies or engaging in animation, all of which are for China's cultural export, and carry forward their own civilization and culture.
Today, China is still trying to balance the domestic employment problem, and is slowly converting the country's large agricultural population into a labor force in the secondary and tertiary industries, especially the tertiary industry. In this regard, after the vast number of Chinese have bulged their pockets, their consumption power is very strong, which gives the tertiary industry a condition for the rapid expansion and growth of the service industry, and people's increasing demand for catering, entertainment, logistics, education, etc., promotes the development of the tertiary industry, and also makes China have a better place to digest its huge labor force.
Of course, Qi Yiming is not in a hurry to solve this problem in one go. Because in the near future, China, facing a major war, will inevitably start a wartime state, at that time, no matter what market is not market, the economy is not economic, everything is transferred to the needs of completing the national war, and a large number of labor will be immediately absorbed in the process. And after the war, it is clear that there is more room for manoeuvre.
