Chapter 151: A New Era

Previous Chapter

The world has entered the so-called era of unemployment, what is happen, the people in it are not very clear, and Zhang Quan, an outsider, is even less clear.

Although he didn't come back for a while, this world always made him feel strange for a while, but these are the small details and small aspects of life, although Zhang Quan's feelings are very profound, but if you let him really say it, he will definitely not be able to say it.

Perhaps, it's not that the world is fast at all, but that he himself is too slow.

The news of traditional industry is becoming more and more difficult to see in the media, such as GM, the former giants, but now they can no longer hear the news, today's TV, is always full of online games, online media, what celebrity on the Internet and what has caused a lot of influence, etc.

This has become an era of pure face-seeing, an era of pure eyeball economy.

Almost half of the men and women who walked by the street had undergone plastic surgery.

Plastic surgery has now been widely accepted by the whole society, and people will no longer be angry because of who and which celebrity has plastic surgery, because, as we all know, there is no one in the entertainment industry who does not have plastic surgery, the difference is only the frequency of plastic surgery and the depth of surgery.

For today's industry insiders, plastic surgery has become commonplace, and it has even been related to professional ethics. If you don't have plastic surgery, it's hard to keep up with the times, and celebrities have to get plastic surgery almost several times a month, which is simply a crime, but it's a pity, who made them choose this industry that eats by their faces?

Now it is said that in the entertainment industry, the most popular concept is called what celebrity face!

The so-called celebrity face is the most popular face shape among the public for a period of time, as long as the star with this face shape appears, a little hype can quickly become popular, if this phenomenon is in the previous era, no one can make it very clear, in today's era, with the addition of computer image information analysis and processing, veterans in the entertainment industry have been able to clearly grasp this trend.

As soon as this law is discovered, it immediately becomes a hot favorite of insiders, when the celebrity face for a certain period of time is analyzed by professionals with computer technology, it is immediately followed by celebrities to follow the swarm to plastic surgery, at first people do not pay attention, but after a period of time, people find that this method is often very effective, this immediately became a trend.

As a result, the entertainment industry immediately presented a situation of a thousand people, and once the star face appeared, it was immediately followed by countless actors.

In the next period, the audience is aesthetically fatigued, the aesthetic direction is reversed, and the stars have to come back in a swarm.

This trend also quickly gave birth to a subsidiary profession in the circle, that is, celebrity face trend analysts, in order to take the lead in the first step, celebrities are even willing to spend a lot of money to support this profession.

And the guys in this profession have also become the hottest people in the circle, as long as they are actors, who doesn't want to take the lead in asking for a star face, even if it is one step ahead of others, it means that they are making money every day, and they will become popular in an instant!

The audience's aesthetic tendencies are so dominant to the actors of this era that the actors have to follow suit.

Now, who would envy the entertainment industry? This is no longer the industry that used to be able to make easy money by sitting there and showing your face and posing, and now the celebrities, this is simply gambling with this face or even the whole body, to fight! The so-called selling meat and topping * chest is not uncommon in today's era, and the audience whose appetite has been raised is no longer so easy to attract attention.

No way, the audience in the Internet era is so capricious!

Capricious and fickle have become the main theme of the entertainment industry in today's era!

Born in this era, there is no way to live without innovation, and this situation is not only reflected in the entertainment industry, but even in other industries.

Machinery manufacturing, an industry that used to be the top priority of the national economy, has now been replaced by robots for more than 80 percent of jobs. Robots, autonomous robotic arms, and other equipment, which were previously used only in the field of high-precision machine manufacturing, have begun to spread throughout the industry. In the era of rising labor costs, no matter which enterprise factory does not want to be eliminated, it has to choose to keep up with the trend.

Of course, this situation has naturally intensified the trend of global layoffs, but there is no way, in this era, even the once largest human labor force has begun to have a shortage of labor resources, let alone other countries.

This is not only true in the machinery manufacturing industry, but also in the retail industry.

The paradox of inflation on one side and market contraction on the other is happening almost simultaneously in the current era.

The retail sector, once the largest employment sector in various countries, has had to decline or even disappear with the rapid rise of online sales and vending machines.

This trend is evident in Europe and North America, where more and more vending machines are replacing traditional small and medium-sized supermarkets with poor competitiveness.

It's not just the small and medium-sized supermarkets that once spread across the country that are going to be eliminated, but even large supermarket chains like Walmart and Carrefour.

Compared with the high labor costs, as well as the complex and inefficient management costs, the advantages of vending machines are obvious. This kind of machine, which used to be only available in science fiction, has now been reduced to a fairly low price due to the development of computer technology and the development of precision machinery manufacturing technology.

Even at the time of initial deployment, the cost of the machine is still higher than that of manual labor, but once the network is successfully deployed, the subsequent cost is quickly reduced.

And this, which relies on manpower to sell goods, and the manpower supermarket with rising wages due to inflation cannot be compared with it at all. Not to mention, human resource management has to face a variety of increasingly complex social problems from trade unions and social security.

In response to this crisis, the world's most famous supermarket chain, Wal-Mart Group, has begun to completely replace the traditional manual supermarket with a vending supermarket, once the attempt is successful, the supermarket industry will be fully transformed into a robot vending, which means that more unemployed people will be thrown into the market.

What's worse is that the salespeople in these supermarkets are often people who lack academic qualifications and professional skills, and the elimination of these people means that most of them will almost never be able to find employment again.

Rapidly increasing labor costs and a shrinking market have formed one of the most acute contradictions of our time.

The so-called demographic dividend, countries that rely on low labor costs can only be found in Africa, and even those small countries in Southeast Asia, even including Tianzhu's labor, have begun to inflation rapidly, on the one hand, people everywhere can not find suitable jobs, on the other hand, enterprises can not find cheap workers, has become a common phenomenon on the planet.
