Chapter 526 Make more Americans unemployed!
Since August, many factories in the United States have started renovation plans.

The workers of these workers were very surprised and got together to talk about it.

"Do you know what's going on? Why is the factory remodeling again?"

"I don't know, but the scale of this transformation seems to be a bit large. I saw that many workshops are being rebuilt. In addition, it seems that a lot of production equipment has been sold to other factories at a low price! I guess, our factory may buy Some more advanced new equipment!"

"Well, once the factory was remodeled, we would be idle and our wages would be reduced. Now that the American economy is in a recession, I hope we won't be so idle and can earn more money every day."

"Oh, by the way, I heard that after the successful transformation of the factory, the company may dismiss some workers."

"Probably not...Last year, a large number of workers were laid off, and now they are being fired again? If the factory has no workers, how will it operate?"

Many American workers shook their heads in disbelief.

Right now, the number of workers in the factory has dropped sharply, resulting in insufficient production capacity of many products. Therefore, in their view, the factory should still recruit new workers, so how can they lay off workers?

……

By August, the turmoil of Li Zetian's election for the US presidency had passed.

The U.S. government did not want to publicize this matter, so it greeted the media. News about Li Zetian's election for the U.S. president was seldom seen in newspapers and television.

Outside the gate of Li's mansion, the reporters had already dispersed.

During this period of time, Li Zetian always went to Chronos Industry, and the construction of the artificial intelligence robot factory of Chronos Industry was in full swing.

When a large number of artificial intelligence robots are produced, robots will be used to replace workers.

In addition, what Li Zetian is more concerned about is that the industrial Internet operating system of the future world - "Predix Cloud" has already begun to take shape.

With Predix and artificial intelligence robots, a truly unmanned factory can be realized.

In addition, Li Zetian also paid more attention to AR, VR and 3D printing, and invested a lot of money in it, especially 3D printing and AR, which have a very wide range of applications.

The advantages of 3D printing are absolutely beyond the reach of traditional manufacturing.As far as traditional manufacturing is concerned, the more complex the shape of the object, the higher the manufacturing cost, but for 3D printers, the cost of manufacturing complex-shaped objects does not increase, and manufacturing a gorgeous and complex-shaped object does not consume more than printing a simple block time, skills or cost.And a 3D printer can also print many shapes, it can make items of different shapes every time like a craftsman.Of course, the advantages of 3D printing technology are not only these, it is also far superior to traditional manufacturing technology in terms of material combination application, reduction of waste by-products, accurate physical replication, space design, and manufacturing speed.

AR is called Augmented Reality Technology, which adds images, sounds, touches and smells to the natural world in the form of their existence, which is very similar to holographic projection. People can not only see, touch, have a full sensory experience, but also accept and feedback all interactive.

In the previous life, Nintendo developed an AR game - "Pokemon Go", which allowed players to catch pets in the real world, and became popular all over the world.

In addition, AR shopping will also become a new form of shopping in the future. For example, a user chooses a pillow from an Internet store, then turns on the iPhone camera, clicks on the sofa where it needs to be placed, and the pillow will be placed in the corresponding position. 360-degree view to see whether the pillow matches the sofa.Users can also "try on clothes", point the camera at themselves to take a selfie, pick a certain piece of clothing, and the screen of the mobile phone will show the appearance of the user wearing the clothes, whether they look good or not, at a glance.

Of course, even in a physical clothing store, AR technology can also be used. For example, if an AR mirror is installed, customers don’t need to change clothes in the future, they can just “look in the mirror” directly, which looks very high-end and classy!
……

In a blink of an eye, several months passed, and on November 11th, William and Tina's child was born - a big fat boy weighing more than 20 catties.

Seeing this baby, Li Zetian suddenly felt as if he had passed away.

"Dad, give the child a name."

William asked Li Zetian to name the child. After thinking about it, Li Zetian named the child Li Yue, which is a very meaningful name for Li Zetian.

The appearance of Li Yue made this year's Christmas very lively. Not only Li Zetian's parents and father-in-law Yu Jingshan came here to celebrate Christmas, but even Bill Gates' family also came here to celebrate Christmas.

It was lively and very festive.

In December, the U.S. presidential election was completed, and as Li Zetian expected, the previous vice president succeeded.However, Trump, the American billionaire, also participated in the election, and he missed the presidency by only a small gap.

Li Zetian was very upset when he saw this.

Trump's wealth is only so much, he almost can become president, and my wealth is thousands of times his, but I don't even have the qualifications to run for president. This makes Li Zetian feel unbalanced. ~ Naked discrimination is disgusting! ! !
At the beginning of 2011, many factories were completed.

After the workers spent a wonderful Christmas holiday, they immediately received dismissal contracts from the factory.

"The factory actually wants to fire me?!" When the workers saw the dismissal contract, their first reaction was disbelief.If they are fired, who will the factory be handed over to produce?
Hundreds of thousands of workers were suddenly laid off and unemployed. How could such a big event not cause a sensation?

At this time, US Vice President Garr just officially took over the presidency.

The "big gift" that Li Zetian sent him shocked him at the time.

Hundreds of thousands of people have been laid off and unemployed, which will not only affect these people, but will also lead to a chain reaction such as a decrease in the city's public security environment, a decrease in corporate revenue, bad debts in banks, and so on.

At this time, the U.S. stock market has plummeted like an avalanche, and countless stockholders are panicking.

A Wall Street analyst sighed: "The U.S. stock market has fallen again. As for the main reason, everyone must know that it is because Chronos Li has laid off hundreds of thousands of American workers! So many workers have been laid off and unemployed, and the impact is huge. The United States will once again fall into Economic Crisis!!! Had Chronos Li run for President of the United States, he would not have fired so many workers."

American netizens @李泽天 on Weibo, asking him, why did you fire so many workers?
Li Zetian sneered, why?Why don't you guys understand me?Aren't you white Americans very awesome, don't you look down on us Chinese?Well, since you look down on me, I will fire you American workers!
At this moment, reporters flocked to Li Zetian's home.

It's a pity that Li Zetian's family has traveled around the world long ago, and they are now basking in the sunshine in the Aegean Sea, leaving them in vain.

White House.

Cal looked sad, and he looked at the people around him and asked, "Have you contacted Chronos Li?"

"Not yet, the mobile phones of Chronos Li and the people around him are turned off. However, after our investigation, they are traveling in the Aegean Sea. Please rest assured, Mr. President, I have notified the people there to look for them, and they will be in touch soon he."

……

The blue sea is as beautiful as a dream.

Standing on the top floor of the sea view villa, Li Zetian was blowing the sea breeze, drinking red wine, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said with a smile, "Hehe, Americans are in a hurry now!"

At this time, Dongfang Yuqin came over.

"People sent by the President of the United States are here."

"Okay, I see. Let him hang out first and tell him to wait for me in the lobby." Li Zetian said with a faint smile.

"Okay!" Dongfang Yuqin nodded after hearing the words, and couldn't help laughing.

After half an hour, Li Zetian went to see the person sent by the President of the United States.

As soon as the other party saw Li Zetian, he immediately stood up from the sofa and warmly greeted him: "Mr. Li, hello, I'm Abel Judson..."

However, before he finished speaking, Li Zetian interrupted: "Okay, let's talk about the matter directly. I also understand why you are here. Isn't it just the problem of laying off hundreds of thousands of workers? Thinking about it, the US government should be able to solve it. What are you looking for me for?"

Although he was rudely interrupted by Li Zetian, Abel Judson did not express any anger, but greeted him with a friendly face.

With a smile on his face, Abe Judson said to Li Zetian with a hint of compliment: "Mr. Li, you really know how to joke. Who doesn't know your influence? Even the U.S. government can't afford to lay off 10 people." Solve it, but for you, solving this problem is just child's play. Besides, these people were your employees before... Mr. Li, look, can you let them go back to work?"

Li Zetian shook his head: "Mr. Abel Judson, if you think about it, you also know that the recent economic downturn in the United States, coupled with foreign competitors, has caused the factory's revenue to plummet. I have to choose to lay off employees to reduce costs!"

Abel Judson said: "Mr. Li, even if you want to fire workers, you don't need to fire so many workers! As far as I know, there are many factories that don't even have workers anymore, so how do you produce products? ?”

Li Zetian smiled lightly: "Using robots can not only reduce production costs, but also improve production efficiency. The average annual salary of workers is 5 US dollars, but 5 US dollars is enough for me to produce ten artificial intelligence robots. Artificial intelligence robots can Work 24 hours, and it won’t necessarily break down in three to five years. You said, is it more cost-effective for me to hire workers, or is it more cost-effective to use artificial intelligence robots?”

"Artificial intelligence robot?!" Abel Judson exclaimed in astonishment, suddenly thinking of Eve in his mind.

Li Zetian smiled and nodded: "Although the low-profile artificial intelligence robot is not as advanced as Eve, it is enough to replace the jobs of ordinary workers. In addition, the factory also has industrial robots, intelligent production equipment, and the industrial operating system Predix cloud. With these, the factory Dependence on workers is minimized."

Abel Judd fell silent after listening.From Li Zetian's tone and words, he could tell that it was impossible for Li Zetian to let those workers go back to work.

However, Abel Judd still wanted to fight for one last fight. He said in a deep voice: "Mr. Li, so many workers laid off have seriously affected the US economy. You are also an American, so you shouldn't just sit idly by? I beg you, Help solve the employment problem of these workers!"

I'm an American too?

Li Zetian curled his lips and sneered.

I am Chinese! ! !
Fuck you Americans, when did you really think of me as you Americans?

"I'm sorry, Mr. Judd, I'm sorry I can't do anything!" Li Zetian didn't tact with him at all, but refused him straightforwardly.

When Abel Judd heard this, his face was very ugly, knowing that he could not persuade Li Zetian, he left.As soon as he left the villa, he called US President Garr and told him the content of the conversation in detail.

After President Gal heard this, he almost jumped up in anger.

……

Just after Abel Judd left, Li Zetian took out his phone and updated a Weibo immediately after turning it on.

"Everyone, don't be afraid, isn't the new president already in office? He will definitely help you solve your problems!"

As for me, I am not the president. It is useless to govern the country and meddle in my business, even if you beg me.

Come, come, come, the next project, unmanned supermarket.

Our goal is to put more Americans out of work! ! !
