I can see the commodity price curve

October Food Factory.

Today, October Food Factory has three branches.

One of them is in the south of Zhongzhou, one is in the west of Zhongzhou, and one is in the north of Zhongzhou.

The three branches cover a very large area, and each one is no less than Foxconn.

In order to keep the Juewei series formula confidential, all October Food Factory products are produced here and then sent to all parts of the country through logistics.

There are a lot of trucks coming in and out every day.

There are various shops in front of the October Food Factory, and many people visit every day.

These shop owners almost have smiles on their faces.

The reason is simple: the workers at the October Food Factory are really too rich.

In the first few years, everyone's salary was stable at around 20,000.

But now, if you make less than 30,000 yuan a month, you would feel embarrassed to ask for money.

Thirty thousand a month means three or four hundred thousand a year. With so much money, people will naturally not be stingy when spending.

This also led to a sharp increase in shop rents in front of the food factory in October.

It even costs a staggering 20,000 yuan a month, and it's still not enough to rent.

Because compared with the profit from opening a store, this rent is not a big deal.

There is a clothing store that is dedicated to its business.

The clothes are both stylish and durable, and are very popular among the workers of the October Food Factory.

It is said that the owner of this store earns nearly 200,000 yuan a month.

But now this thriving atmosphere no longer exists.

The food factory also fell into a slump throughout October.

The reason is simple. There was news that Zhang Yue, the boss of October Food Factory, was preparing to lay off employees.

The layoff rate is said to be 70 percent.

This is horrible. Everyone is proud to work at the October Food Factory.

Now I suddenly find out that I am going to be laid off, and I can’t accept it for a while.

Wu Dachuan was sitting in the office.

There are four other men here besides him.

The four looked at Wu Dachuan.

"Director Wu, is it true that Boss Zhang is going to lay off employees?"

Wu Dachuan nodded: "I received his notice yesterday afternoon."

"How many people are you going to lay off, boss?"

Wu Dachuan raised his head: "At least 80 percent."

"What? Didn't we agree on 70%? Why did it become 80%?"

Wu Dachuan was helpless: "This is the boss's decision. If you ask me, who should I ask?"

"Director Wu, can you please tell the boss that the people below are very emotional right now?

You also know everyone's attitude towards the October Food Factory. It can be said that they are conscientious and hardworking.

Outside, he never said a bad word about the food factory.”

Wu Dachuan smiled bitterly: "Of course I know this, but the problem is that I can't do anything about it.

To be honest, Boss Zhang has collaborated with a technology company to develop a new type of artificial intelligence robot.

This artificial intelligence robot is so smart that its IQ is even higher than that of a twenty-year-old.

It can be said that there is no difference between it and normal humans. It can do everything that we humans can do.

And you don't have to be afraid of hard work or fatigue, you just need to consume a certain amount of electricity every day.

Boss Zhang previously offered everyone very high salaries, which is certainly a good thing for the workers.

But it is a serious burden for October Food Factory.

Now, if robots are used instead, production costs can be greatly reduced, allowing October Food Factory to go further.”

The four of them lowered their heads upon hearing this.

How could they not know this truth? But knowing is one thing, and being able to accept it is another.

Wu Dachuan then added earnestly, "Actually, Boss Zhang doesn't want to do this either. You all know his character.

He doesn't care about money at all, and even if he pays his workers such high wages, he still gets the lion's share of the profits.

The main reason is that there is really no other way.

Scientists in the United States have also produced this kind of super artificial intelligence robot and cracked the formula of our Juewei series.

Now, the branches of our October Food Factory in the United States have been squeezed out by the other party and are on the verge of bankruptcy.

The United States is just the first battle. I believe it won’t be long before the other party’s stores are everywhere in China.

The price is lower than ours, and the taste is just as good.

If no changes are made, October Food Factory will eventually go bankrupt and be liquidated.”

The four of them were completely silent now.

One of them stood up and said, "I see. Thank you, Boss Zhang, for taking care of me and the employees during this period of time."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

The other three also sighed.

Another person said: "I can understand Boss Zhang's difficulties, but the problem is that the workers below are emotionally unable to accept it.

If we let them go like this, I'm worried that some of them with extreme personalities will cause all kinds of accidents."

Wu Dachuan nodded: "I know this, so Boss Zhang will come in person tomorrow.

You don't have to worry about these problems, he will solve them himself."

The three of them nodded and said goodbye and went back.

When they arrived at the workshop, they were immediately surrounded by all the workers.

"Captain Ma, what's going on? Are we really going to be fired?"

Squad leader Ma smiled bitterly and repeated Wu Dachuan's words: "I know you can't accept it in your heart, but there is nothing we can do about it.

Times are developing and technology is advancing.

Simple mechanical manual labor will be eliminated sooner or later, but no one knows when. "

After saying this, he closed his eyes, not daring to look at the workers' faces.

Because he knew clearly how these workers usually performed.

Now this news is undoubtedly a disaster for them. This disaster is not only financially, but also spiritually.

However, after a moment, his face was full of surprise.

He thought that some workers would definitely get angry after knowing the news, and even do all kinds of extreme actions.

But now the workshop is eerily quiet.

He slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw the expressions of the workers, he was stunned for a moment.

Because these workers had neither anger nor regret, only calmness, a calmness that came from the heart.

He couldn't help but say, "Just speak up if you have any ideas. We are all brothers, there is nothing to be embarrassed about."

Just as he finished speaking, someone said, "Brothers from Line 2, where do you think we should have our farewell dinner?"

"How about we go to the Yellow River Restaurant? The food there is good, both delicious and affordable."

"I also think the Yellow River Restaurant is pretty good. The Yellow River carp there is a must-try.

I heard there will be a talent show by the chefs during the meal, you can come and watch it then.”

When Squad Leader Ma heard what these people said, he was stunned for a moment.

He found that everyone was much more optimistic than he had imagined. No, they were not optimistic; they were happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Thinking of this, he quickly asked: "Everyone, you are all going to be fired soon, don't you feel unhappy at all?" As soon as he said this, a worker immediately looked at Team Leader Ma and asked: "Why are you unhappy?"

Squad leader Ma said: "Of course you lost your jobs. At the October Food Factory you could earn at least 30,000 yuan a month, or even 50,000 yuan.

With your abilities and education, it is impossible to find such a high income after leaving this school."

The man said, "That's right, my salary last month was 48,000 yuan. In the past five years at the October Food Factory, I have earned more than 2 million yuan in total.

Now I am a standard millionaire.

How upset do I have to be that a millionaire is upset about losing his job?

Others nodded.

"He's right, I'm also a millionaire. Although I've used the money to buy a house, the house was paid in full.

With the hundreds of thousands of dollars saved in my account, I don’t have to worry about money at all.”

"me too.

Although I made a lot of money at the October Food Factory in the past few years, I was also very tired. I started working at eight in the morning every day and didn't finish until nine or even twelve in the evening.

To be honest, I've been wanting to take a good rest for a long time.

It’s just that the salary that Boss Zhang pays is too high, so I feel embarrassed to take a break.”

Everyone was talking one after another, and the more they talked, the happier and more excited they became.

Seeing Team Leader Ma standing there in a daze, a worker patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Okay, I know what you are thinking, Team Leader.

Everyone is indeed sad about losing their current job. After all, it is hard to find a job with a monthly salary of 30,000 or 40,000 yuan even if you search with a lantern.

But we know in our hearts that our high salary has nothing to do with us, it's all because of Boss Zhang's generosity.

And we have long been prepared for the possibility of losing our jobs at any time.

After all, getting such a high salary means that Boss Zhang gives all the money he earns to us.

If there are problems in the operation of the October Food Factory, the consequences will be disastrous.

We always thought it would be good if we could work here for two or three years, but now Boss Zhang has been able to stick around for five years, which has far exceeded our expectations.

Everyone has earned enough money in the past five years, so we can’t say what will happen in a few decades.

At least for the next ten years, no one will have to worry about money.

Those who are good at budgeting have even achieved financial freedom.”

After hearing what he said, the squad leader had no idea what to say.

Finally, he said, “Everyone, Boss Zhang will come over in person tomorrow to talk to you about this matter.

If you guys want to get drunk tonight, you'd better restrain yourself, otherwise when Boss Zhang comes tomorrow, you won't find anyone there.

Although he wants to fire you, it's still awkward not being able to see you."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.

When Zhang Yue arrived at the gate of October Food Factory, it was already ten o'clock in the morning of the next day.

Zhan Susu saw him standing at the door, unwilling to go in for a long time, and couldn't help laughing and said, "Why, are you scared?"

Zhang Yue rolled his eyes and said, "How could I be afraid? Let me tell you, the person in this world who can scare me hasn't been born yet!"

Then he stepped in, but the careful observation of Zhan Susu still noticed that his steps were unsteady.

After entering the October Food Factory, you can see workers on the road from time to time.

A worker spotted Zhang Yue and immediately greeted him with a smile: "Boss Zhang is here."

Zhang Yue nodded to the other party: "Yes, I'm here."

As soon as he finished speaking, another person also smiled and asked, "Has Boss Zhang had breakfast?"

Zhang Yue immediately responded: "I have eaten."

Everyone was talking to each other and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

It was not until Zhang Yue walked into his office that he asked Zhan Susu with a suspicious look on his face: "Didn't I ask Wu Dachuan to inform everyone of the situation yesterday?

Why, he didn't say anything?"

Before Zhan Susu could speak, Wu Dachuan's voice rang out at the door: "I have already notified everyone. All the workers at the October Food Factory know that they will be fired by you soon."

Zhang Yue looked surprised: "If they all knew, why did they still smile when they greeted me?

I just suspected that I might be beaten by them."

Wu Dachuan shook his head: "Then I don't know, maybe they are going to throw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at you when you have a meeting later.

It would be inappropriate to throw it away now and scare you away."

Zhang Yue looked at the other person helplessly: "We can't joke like this, right?"

After saying that, he suddenly felt guilty, "Are they really going to do this?

How about you preside over today's meeting? I'll run away first."

Wu Dachuan quickly said, "No, I was just joking with you.

Yes, these workers do know that you are going to fire them, but everyone’s mood is better than expected.”

He explained the reason to Zhang Yue, and finally said, "People are all made of flesh and blood, and they will always remember how you treated them before.

They are grateful that you held out until now before laying off employees, so how can they blame you? "

Zhang Yue was silent.

After a long while, he nodded: "So that's the case, then I'm relieved."

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the central square of the October Food Factory.

When he arrived, the place was already full of people.

When they saw Zhang Yue, someone suddenly started applauding, and then the applause continued.

Soon, the entire central square was filled with applause.

Zhang Yue walked to the podium in front and waved to everyone, "Hello, brothers.

I believe you have already heard about the content of today's meeting in advance. Yes, I am here to prepare for layoffs.

Everyone here will lose their jobs. As for what to do next, I have several options.

You can choose according to your own preferences.”

After these words were spoken, all the workers looked at each other in bewilderment.

What's going on? Why doesn't Boss Zhang want me to leave immediately?

Someone couldn't help but say to the person next to him: "Do you think Boss Zhang did this because he didn't want to give us severance pay?"

Unexpectedly, before the other party could answer, Zhang Yue said, "Of course, because you have changed your position, and some of you will definitely not be able to adapt to the new position.

Some people don't want to do these things at all.

It doesn't matter, I respect everyone's wishes.

If you are willing to stay and obey the company's assignment, then stay. If you are not willing, you can resign directly.

But please rest assured, if you choose to resign, I will strictly pay you severance pay in accordance with national regulations, and it will be the highest severance standard.

Well, that's enough of what I have to say. I'll give you one day to think about your future destination."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Then Wu Dachuan also came up and said, "Everyone, what Boss Zhang said was not very clear, so let me supplement it for you.

Do you know why Boss Zhang fired you? It wasn't because the October Food Factory was in a crisis.

In fact, if you continue to work in the workshop, you can still maintain this income within a year.

But Boss Zhang thinks it is unnecessary and it is a complete waste of time for you to stay here.

After all, with the popularization of intelligent artificial robots, this kind of hard and tiring work in the workshop will be eliminated sooner or later.

So Boss Zhang decided to let you enter the service industry.

Working in the service industry is easy and the pay is no less than it is now.

The key is that the risk of being eliminated by the times is much lower, which is very suitable for transformation. " (End of this chapter)
