Chapter 190 Disagreement
City of Civilization and Science.

At this point, three months have passed since the Fuguang incident.

What surprised the outside world was that they didn't know what deal Huanyu Trading Company had made with the pirates entrenched in the Gulf of Aden. The other party had unconditionally released the crew of Fu Guang three months ago.

Of course, there are often incidents of pirates hijacking ships in the Gulf of Aden.

The reason why the Fuguang incident made its appearance on the international news is entirely because of its super high tonnage and the blessing of Huanyu Trading Company, an emerging transportation giant.

Otherwise, the international news would never rush to report a hijacking by pirates.

Compared with the Fuguang incident, there are two hot quarrels in the world recently, and both of them are related to Chensheng Technology Group.

The first thing is that Arclight Automobile Company, a subsidiary of Chensheng Technology Group, will be listed on NASDAQ in North America at the end of this month.

The second thing is to completely detonate the companion robot and housekeeping robot in the global market.

As the world's largest automobile company, the listing of Arclight Automobile Company is undoubtedly a gluttonous feast for global capital.

Every capital institution opened its mouth wide open, trying in vain to taste a mouthful of delicious fruit in this gluttonous feast.

Among these capital institutions, the Morgan Consortium is the most excited.

As the first and only batch of capital to invest in Arclight Automobile Company, the Morgan Consortium accounted for 7.6% of the shares in Arclight Automobile Company and was the second largest shareholder of the company.

It is more than double the 3.5% of the state-owned capital.

Even with the current market value of Arclight Motors, they must earn at least tens of billions of dollars.

Once Arclight Motors is on the market, it is conservatively estimated that they can earn hundreds of billions of dollars.

Unsurprisingly, Arclight Motors, which has completely monopolized the mid-to-high-end car market, will become the company with the highest market value in human history.

Even Saudi Aramco, a local tycoon in the Middle East, is probably far behind.

Saudi Aramco's current market capitalization is $1.8 trillion.

In other words, Arclight Automobile Company, which is about to go public, is very likely to exceed this market value.

It has to be said that Lu Chen made the right move in introducing the Morgan consortium at the very beginning of Arclight Automobile Company's establishment, otherwise, its development would never have been as smooth as it is now.

North America will definitely do everything possible to hinder the growth of this company.

But because Lu Chen gave up a large part of the shares, and he has been developing in Kanya instead of choosing to cultivate in Huaguo, the Western Group is very relieved of him.

The only thing that made the Western Group feel uncomfortable was that Qin Ruolan had robbed the United States of a large supply of rhenium metal not long ago.

In other respects, Lu Chen, who was a proper capitalist in the eyes of outsiders, was naturally in the same camp as them.

Except Arclight Motors went public.

The hot sales of companion robots have sparked extensive discussions internationally.

One of the most discussed issues is whether robots will replace humans in the future.

Because judging from the current situation.

Ordinary people can't tell the difference between Chensheng Technology's companion robot and normal humans from the outside.

This is terrifying.

Because with the continuous increase of companion robots in human society, it will inevitably cause a series of social problems.

For example, the problem of robots replacing the jobs of low-level people.

For now, the emergence of companion robots and domestic robots has gradually replaced an industry, that is, the nanny or housekeeping industry.

Whether in China or overseas, especially in developing countries where human resources are the main resource, such as the Philippines.

Just because of the emergence of companion robots has suffered heavy losses.

The well-known Filipino maids are already famous all over the world for their high-end housekeeping services.

However, the housekeeping robot launched by Chensheng Technology directly turned the other party into a scum in seconds from the professional service.

The same is true in terms of cost performance.

Not to mention the companion robot launched by Chensheng Technology, which has other services besides housekeeping services.

The two are completely incomparable.

Therefore, the helpless Philippine government directly banned the sales of Chensheng Technology's robots in the country.

The Philippines is not the only country that bans Chensheng Technology robots.

There are also some countries that are worried that low-level jobs will be replaced by robots, and they have also begun to ban the robots of Chensheng Technology.

According to Lu Chen's latest information, the North American government is also discussing the issue of banning companion robots and domestic robots.

Even the Chinese government has begun to discuss this issue.

It seems that for a while, companion robots and housekeeping robots, which were originally extremely hot sales, were gradually rejected by those in power all over the world.

But on closer inspection, these governments' concerns are not unfounded.

Based on the price of the Chensheng Technology robot.

If a large number of low-level workers are replaced, developed countries will face a large wave of unemployment.

The labor costs in developing countries are low, and there is no threat in this regard for the time being.

But it's not without threats.

For example, Huaguo's express delivery industry and food delivery industry, as well as some high-profit factories, have already asked Chensheng Technology about customizing robots.

This thing is not without room for maneuver.

Just like the food delivery industry.

A takeaway boy in a first-tier city can earn tens of thousands of dollars a month if he runs to his death.

And how much is a robot of Chensheng Technology?
The one-year salary of the delivery guy is enough to buy one.

From the perspective of capital, it is completely worthwhile to buy a robot, and you can also justly refuse to pay social benefits such as social insurance, five insurances and one housing fund for it.

After all, the takeaway brother has no social welfare guarantee, which has been criticized by the outside world.

Now as long as you buy the robot from Chensheng Technology, this problem that is criticized will be solved, killing two birds with one stone.

Capital is cold-blooded, and their only purpose is to usurp the maximum profit.

As long as the cost can be saved, I believe that no capital will refuse.

The only thing that capital needs to consider is that the purchase of the robots of Chensheng Technology will cost a lot of money, and it must be borrowed from the bank.

But you must know that in addition to borrowing from the bank, the capital behind it can also afford the money.

Because behind domestic and foreign sales companies, there are almost all richer capitals, and some even have their own banks.

The funding problem has been solved, and the food delivery market has been solved. As long as Chensheng Technology nods, it can be done.

However, once this matter is completed, it will inevitably cause the collective unemployment of the delivery boys.

At that time, the takeaway boys who have no way out can only enter those labor-intensive factories.

From this perspective, even the government is happy to see the results.

Civilization Building.

After listening to the other party's report, Lu Chen looked at Zhang Mingbo's holographic projection, shook his head and said, "The method you mentioned can indeed bring us a huge amount of sales, but have you ever thought that this move will bring us huge sales? What an impact the unemployed will have!"

Hearing this, Zhang Mingbo frowned and said: "Chairman, you may not be very clear. Our factories are very short of people, especially young people. These unemployed people can definitely enter the factory. You don't have to worry too much about unemployment."

After hearing these words, Lu Chen stared at the other party intently, and did not speak for a long time.

"Chairman Dong, is there something wrong with what I said?"

Being stared at by Lu Chen with such eyes, for some reason, Zhang Mingbo felt a little terrified.

After a long time, Lu Chen took a deep breath and said slowly: "Old Zhang, you are thinking more and more like a qualified capitalist now."
