Chapter 1,176 The development of technology is to liberate productivity
"These two questions are very sharp. No matter how I answer them, I still can't heal everyone's differences, let alone stop many people from criticizing us.
No matter, since the question has been raised, I can only express my own views from my perspective.
First of all, all the press conferences and all the advertising and promotions that you have seen are basically self-promotion and self-promotion.
Have you ever seen a boss who specifically said that his products and technologies are not good, or have you seen such advertisements?"
Hehehehe...
When a person is severely prejudiced, what he sees will always be prejudice. So no matter how I explain it, it is actually useless.
Therefore, we can only speak with our products and word of mouth.
Wu Hao said with a smile: "Whether it is our technology, our products, or the user reputation formed by these products and technologies, we are all well-known.
The achievements and praises received are obvious to all.
So I think I don't need to explain too much in this regard.
Regarding what our second-generation super smart manufacturing factory is like, is it really excellent, or is it just a gimmick created by us, as many people think.
I think it is better for everyone to see it and believe it. We welcome many friends who are interested in our second-generation super smart manufacturing factory to come and inspect it in person.
What everyone sees is more convincing than what we say.
Another thing I want to say is that we rushed to introduce it at the press conference to a certain extent because of our corporate image, reputation, and even credibility.
I think we are not stupid enough to destroy our own sign, and everyone should be able to understand this.
In fact, I can tell you here that during the press conference, many people have contacted us and are very interested in our second-generation super smart manufacturing factory and are seeking to cooperate with us. Even many people have contacted us.
People are already rushing to Anxi."
Hearing what he said, the reporters in the audience became restless. Many people's eyes were shining and they were eager to ask questions.
Seeing this, Wu Hao smiled and said, "Don't ask, I won't tell you if you ask."
Hehehehe...
Amidst a burst of laughter, Wu Hao then answered the second question.
"As for whether our super smart manufacturing factory will cause a large number of workers to lose their jobs, I think everyone thinks too highly of us. We are just a company and do not have such great energy.
I said at the press conference that our second-generation super smart manufacturing factory is mainly to deal with the current labor difficulties and labor shortages caused by the aging population of our country. As well as the rising operating costs caused by the sudden increase in labor costs,
Project operations were difficult and had to be shut down or evacuated, among other problems.
I am not making this up, nor am I deliberately exaggerating. In fact, this issue has reached a critical moment that must be taken seriously and must be resolved.
This is not an alarmist statement, but it is the fact. You will know this if you ask people in the industry. As a member of the industry, I have also deeply felt the pressure of rapidly rising product costs in recent years.
This is true even for high value-added technology companies like ours, let alone other companies and small and medium-sized factories.
Secondly, our super smart manufacturing factory has certain thresholds. Not all companies and all industries are suitable for adopting our super smart manufacturing factory.
The so-called threshold comes from the high technical content, which makes it impossible for ordinary people to carry out management and operations, and requires professional management and operation technical talents.
The second one, our super intelligent manufacturing factory, has a relatively high construction cost, much higher than that of a traditional manufacturing production factory.
As a result, some small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises are not suitable for it and cannot afford to use it.
Of course, we will also work with relevant banking institutions to help these companies obtain loans and complete technology upgrades, but after all, there are only a few people who are willing to take such a big risk.
In addition, it is not suitable for some companies with low added value. A super smart manufacturing factory costs hundreds of millions. If it is used to produce chopsticks, pots and pans, etc., wouldn’t it be overkill and overqualified?”
Seeing many reporters in the audience nodding, Wu Hao smiled and continued: "In addition, there are some industries and industries that are not suitable for this kind of fully automated production, and not all such fully automated production is good.
For example, some people still prefer hand-made products for some traditional products. Although automated production can ensure the quality of each product, it cannot achieve the charm of hand-made products.
And this, I think, is also an important way for many workers or migrant workers to find employment and make money in the future.
Most of these people have a skill, and they can fully utilize their own advantages to do their best and create high-quality products.
We can see that many excellent products are often made by hand, such as porcelain, but those made by machines are cheaper.
And the noodles we eat, handmade noodles are much more expensive than machine noodles.
In addition, as we all continue to improve our quality of life, we pay more attention to food quality and food safety.
In the future, high-quality agriculture with meticulous workmanship will become a trend. This kind of carefully cultivated agricultural products will definitely become delicacies on the public table and be sought after by everyone.
For example, what are the farm chickens, eggs, farm pigs, farm dishes, etc. that everyone is looking for now?
Modern mechanized agriculture can ensure the safety of our diet, and this kind of high-quality agriculture will satisfy my taste buds and make me feel happy.
So in my opinion, the profession of farmers will definitely be welcomed and even respected in the future."
Finally... Wu Hao emphasized his tone, paused, then looked at everyone and said: "What I want to say is to liberate productivity. This has always been the mainstream of technology, industry, and even social development, and is the progress of the times.
Every industrial revolution we have experienced has given birth to countless technologies and eliminated countless professions.
In fact, in the history of nearly a hundred years of development, the continuous emergence of new technologies has liberated countless workers from arduous jobs.
This is an inevitable situation for social progress, and no one can stop it.
Since the first industrial revolution, we humans have been seeking to use technology to replace human labor with machines.
However, due to technology limitations, we have never been able to achieve 100% complete replacement.
In fact, automated production equipment and factories that completely replace human labor have long been around, and have been around for a long time.
This time, we just carried out an upgrade and optimization on the basis of these original technologies to bring them to a new stage."
