The Light of Domestic Products: The whole world begs me to sell

Chapter 277 Hey, do you dare to sell chips?
(I just wrote about unmanned taxis yesterday. At the Baidu conference today, President Li said that unmanned taxis in the future will be half cheaper than taxis now. Brothers, reality is more magical than fiction. I really dare not write novels that are half cheaper. I will be sprayed Miserable, the dog's head saves his life.JPG)

Two days passed in a flash.

Two days later, Hu Lai received a call early in the morning. It was the city leader Gao Ming himself.

"Hello, Mr. Hu?"

"Haha, hello leader."

Hu Lai was quite surprised to receive a phone call from Gao Ming early in the morning. He checked the time and it was only 7:[-] in the morning.

Gao Ming personally called so early, is it because of the "unmanned automatic taxi" that was submitted two days ago?
"It's like this. Didn't you submit a plan for the commercial operation of 'unmanned automatic taxis' to the city two days ago? After the city held an emergency meeting in the past two days, there were preliminary results."

"I will come to your headquarters with the leader of the Traffic Management Office in a while, and there are still some details that need to be communicated with you."

"Is there a result so soon?"

Hu Lai was a little surprised. It had only been two days since the plan was submitted, and he didn't expect a reply so quickly.

"Haha, Mr. Hu, your Phoenix Group is now a star enterprise in our mountain city. We in the city attach great importance to your business demands. We will definitely solve your problem quickly!"

"We can be regarded as doing practical things for enterprises."

Hu Lai was polite again and again, and had to say that ZF's work efficiency has indeed improved a lot in recent years.

After hanging up the phone, Hu Lai drove to the office without delay.

Just a few minutes after the front foot arrived, after the conference room was arranged, Gao Ming and several city leaders also arrived after a while.

The two have always had a good relationship. After a brief greeting, everyone came to the reception room.

After everyone sat down, Gao Ming took out two proposed plans and handed them to Hu Lai and Director Zhang who were present at the meeting, and said:
"The city has already discussed the 'unmanned automatic online car-hailing' project proposed by Phoenix Group. Our mountain city has always been positioned as a smart city and a 5G city. This project also conforms to our city image."

"And, in other words, our Phoenix Group is now a star enterprise in our mountain city, and we must give our full support to it."

Several leaders in the group all smiled tacitly, what Gao Ming said was indeed the truth.

In the past two years, the GDP growth rate of the mountain city has been the highest in the country, and it is largely dependent on the Phoenix Group in front of it.

Phoenix Group not only created a large number of jobs and high tax revenue, but also drove many suppliers to invest and build factories in Shancheng City by itself.

Suppliers built factories and invested in buying land, which not only increased the city’s fiscal revenue, but also increased local jobs. Now most of the labor force in many surrounding counties who go to the coast to work is willing to stay. Some people have consumption and stay. The people in turn promoted the economy of the mountain city.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Phoenix Group is like the economic engine of the mountain city, directly making the economy of the mountain city take off.

Who doesn't support such a company?

The light laughter of the crowd made the atmosphere of the meeting more relaxed, and Gao Ming also laughed and said:
"In principle, we have passed the 'unmanned automatic online car-hailing' project, and then the city will improve relevant policies and regulations as soon as possible, and you must also ensure safety."

"Also, after all, this matter has involved many people's livelihoods. While it is still in the preparation stage, we can appropriately spread the word on the Internet and listen to the opinions of netizens."

"We can't just think with our own heads, we have to listen to the voice of the masses. Many times the masses have great wisdom."

"it is good!"

Hu Lai responded immediately, with a smile on his face.

He did not expect that the policy issue of "unmanned automatic online car-hailing" could be solved so easily. In this way, after the precedent in the mountain city, there will be precedents to follow in the subsequent promotion in other cities.

But before Hu Lai was happy, Gao Ming suddenly looked at a staff member next to him and said:
"Zhou Bureau, can you explain the details?"

"Ok."

Zhou Ju was the accompanying leader of the Traffic Management Bureau. He first nodded with a smile to Hu Lai and Director Zhang, and then said:

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Zhang, about [-] taxis are operating in our mountain city every day, and the total number of online car-hailing vehicles is close to [-]."

"After our assessment, we believe that if your 'unmanned automatic online car-hailing' enters the market in large numbers, it will definitely cause market saturation in the short term and cause market chaos, so we mean to give your company a quota of [-] vehicles in advance. , what do you think?"

"Fifteen hundred?"

Seeing Hu Lai's strange expression, Zhou Ju thought that Hu Lai was dissatisfied, so he quickly explained:

"Mr. Hu, because 'unmanned automatic online car-hailing' is a new product, we are not sure how much impact it will have. We are worried that too much investment will cause a lot of unemployment and even have social impact..."

"However, you can rest assured that once the later market matures and everyone accepts this new product, the number of releases will definitely be adjusted."

Hu Lai immediately understood that Zhou Ju had misunderstood. When discussing with Song Yang yesterday, he was still worried that investing too many vehicles would have too much impact on the market.

I didn't expect the city to directly adopt the method of quota, but this can also control the risk of "unmanned automatic online car-hailing" to the greatest extent.

After thinking for a while, Hu Lai and Director Zhang looked at each other, then nodded and said:

"Okay, then thank you leaders for supporting us!"

"The specific pricing plan and operating rules will be down, and I will trouble the leaders to check after we are done."

Hu Lai's words reassured all the leaders, but just when Hu Lai thought that the meeting would end happily in a friendly and warm atmosphere, Gao Ming coughed lightly and suddenly mentioned a sentence:
"Mr. Hu, I saw your new mobile phone product launch conference a while ago, and it was very good!"

"On the way here today, I specifically checked the sales volume. Jingdong alone has nearly 100 million orders, which is really good!"

Hu Lai was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Gao Ming to pay attention to the recent situation of Phoenix Group.

He smiled and said a few words modestly, and then heard Gao Ming continue:
"Now the whole country is moving the manufacturing industry to the west. Mr. Hu, your sales of mobile phones and laptops are also very good. Have you considered setting up an electronics factory in Shancheng City that assembles mobile phones and laptops?"

"I have learned that the technical difficulty required by the mobile phone assembly factory is not very difficult, and the educational requirements are not high. I believe it should not be a big problem for you?"

Hearing this, not only Hu Lai was stunned for a moment, but also the director Zhang beside him was also stunned.

Fortunately, Gao Ming saw Hu Lai's surprised expression, and added:

"Of course, this matter is just an idea of ​​mine. Of course, the city will not forcefully interfere with your normal operations."

"I was thinking that if you set up a mobile phone assembly factory, it would just happen to provide a lot of jobs for the people of our mountain cities."

It wasn't until this moment that Hu Lai suddenly realized that it was probably for this matter that Gao Ming came in person so early in the morning.

Just taking advantage of the group's "unmanned automatic online car-hailing" project that needs the approval of the city, I proposed to set up an electronic assembly factory by the way...

Hu Lai didn't want to save Gao Ming's face, so he turned his head to look at Director Zhang and asked:
"Old Zhang..."

Before he could finish speaking, Director Zhang shook his head and said immediately:
"Mayor Gao, we actually thought about producing laptops ourselves when we were producing laptops."

"but……"

"The foundry business is indeed, as you said, a low-tech and labor-intensive industry, but the profit is very low."

"For example, Foxconn's net profit in 2021 is only 4.5%, while the gross profit of BYD's mobile phone business with us is 7.57%, and the net profit is less than 5%."

"It can be said that the mobile phone OEM business is actually hard money. If you want to make money, it depends on which company can reduce the cost more. This cost naturally includes the labor cost of squeezing the workers..."

"We think that we can't compare with the first-class companies in the industry in this respect. For us, it is a loss-making business; and most importantly, such an operation method is completely contrary to the corporate culture of our Phoenix Group!"

After a while, Gao Ming couldn't help nodding.

"really."

"Your Phoenix Group has always been known for its high welfare benefits. The welfare benefits are top-notch in the entire mountain city. It is indeed different from the low-profit profit model of the foundry."

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming took a deep breath after thinking for a long time, and said slowly:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, after you said that, I realized that I didn't think carefully. I understand your difficulties. It's because my suggestion was a bit reckless."

"I was thinking that there are many villages and towns around our mountain city where the labor force has left their hometowns to go out to work, leaving their mothers and young children at home. If the city can provide them with more jobs, and they can make money and take care of their families, isn't that right? The best of both worlds.”

"Also, the 'unmanned automatic online car-hailing' you mentioned will inevitably crowd out the lives of more ordinary people in the future..."

"That's why I wanted to raise this matter, but you also have difficulties, and it's not easy for you."

Hu Lai was moved for a moment, and it could be seen that the leader Gao Ming was a person who really wanted to do things, and a leader who really cared about his fathers and fellow villagers.

After a while, he glanced at Director Zhang again, and asked in a low voice:
"Old Zhang, can we..."

Hu Lai and Zhang Zhang had already had a very tacit understanding, and immediately understood what Hu Lai meant, but he still shook his head helplessly.

"Boss, there is no need for Mayor Gao to bring it up."

"We have always tried to expand the scale of recruitment as much as possible, but at present, according to our order volume, all production lines are already full, and there are only a small number of technical positions that are vacant..."

"There will be a lot of recruitment in a short period of time unless our business can receive more orders, but right now..."

As he spoke, Director Zhang shook his head.

Today's Phoenix Group has experienced several expansions, whether it is bicycles, electric scooters or new energy vehicles, have passed the stage of crazy expansion, and the production capacity is steadily increasing.

Unless there is a strong order demand, it is impossible to suddenly recruit tens of thousands of assembly line workers to open up new production lines.

Other factories recruit workers at any time because of the high turnover of workers on the bottom assembly line.

However, no one in the various departments of the Phoenix Group is willing to resign after entering, but those who leave are also voluntarily dismissed because they failed the assessment and other reasons, and there are very few who are really willing to leave!
Just kidding, the conditions of the Phoenix Group are really good!

Seeing that Factory Manager Zhang was really in trouble, Gao Ming also knew that he hadn't thought it through carefully, so he didn't talk about it after a few polite words.

After a while, Gao Ming took everyone to bid farewell to Hu Lai one by one, and the matter of "unmanned automatic online car-hailing" was also settled.

As soon as Gao Ming left, Hu Lai immediately asked Zhang Zhang to release the rumor of "unmanned automatic online car-hailing" on the Internet. He also wanted to know what kind of public opinion on the Internet about "unmanned automatic online car-hailing".

After all, in his heart, this can be regarded as the first head-on collision between robot AI and ordinary people "robbing" jobs in a large area in the new era!

Unexpectedly, as soon as the news was sent out, the comments on the Internet were a little crooked...

"My God, Phoenix is ​​going to engage in 'automatic online car-hailing'? The price of taxis is one-third cheaper?! Bullfrog, bullfrog, bullfrog, this is how technology changes life. (650 likes)"

"Damn it, will you guys 'watch a 60-second commercial before unlocking and driving' in the future, Gooutou.JPG (Like 9546)."

"Drove for 10 minutes, then stopped on the side of the road and watched an advertisement for 1 minute, then continued driving, laughing and crying. JPG (Like 6132)."

"Recharge SVIP to speed up, otherwise the speed limit is 5 kilometers per hour, and if you want to skip the advertisement, please recharge as a member..."

"Yes, there is an extra charge of 5 yuan to turn on the air conditioner in summer..."

"Brothers, this is Fenghuang's 'unmanned automatic online car-hailing', not Baidu!"

Hu Lai couldn't help laughing at the comments of netizens on the Internet. I have to say that netizens are really troubled by advertisements...

Still, there were more serious comments that caught his attention.

"Once Phoenix's 'unmanned automatic online car-hailing' is launched, it is foreseeable that a large number of online car-hailing drivers will lose their jobs."

"Yes, the machines can work 24 hours without stopping, and with the mobilization of big data, they can know more clearly which time period and where there are more people taking taxis. It is lower than ordinary online car-hailing, who would like to wait for a long time for a taxi?"

"But how to solve the employment problem of these drivers?"

"Don't worry about it, there are so many industries emerging every year, and there are so many anchors now, so what did they do before? Brother Meituan is everywhere, so what did they do before?"

"If society wants to progress, some industries will always be replaced and more new industries will be derived. In short, as long as the economy develops well, more jobs will always emerge!"

"The core is that our economy must develop!"

After reading the comments carefully, Hu Lai was indeed a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, netizens had completely opposite ideas to him. Almost all netizens on the Internet viewed "unmanned online car-hailing" as a substitute for manual labor with a more open and positive attitude.

Moreover, the comments of netizens really made him feel.

As netizens said, the core is to develop the economy. As long as the economy is good, all problems will not be a problem.

……

In the next few days, Hu Lai was almost thinking about the issue of "economic development", but...

Although the current size of the Phoenix Group is not small, it is still a drop in the ocean compared with large enterprises, let alone boosting the national economy...

"Keep your feet on the ground and do it well!"

But when Hu Lai was about to calm down and seriously consider the next step of Phoenix Group's development, Chen Hai, the leader of the Security Bureau who hadn't seen him for a long time, suddenly called.

As soon as the connection was made, Chen Hai brought Hu Lai some important news.

"Mr. Hu, this time I have brought you a big order, which is about buying chips."

"It depends on whether you dare to sell it or not!"

Hu Lai was stunned, chip?

Who wants to buy chips and dare to sell them? !

This chapter and the previous chapter have written some in-depth topics about the impact of technology on existing employment. As a result, I feel that everyone is not cold, so I will write less in the future.

I happened to see Mr. Li at the Baidu conference today saying that there is no one to take a taxi automatically. Netizens are very open to comment on this, so I also think that I am overthinking.

The next plot is a strong collision, using the lithography machine as a point, the beginning of the Raiders world!
Three words, leading Yanguo enterprises to start to cut leeks around the world.
