Open the era of black technology

Chapter 536 Anyway, The Sky Is Falling, There's A Tall Man Standing On It [Second Update]

"Everyone, I'm not scaremongering. After listening to me, everyone will understand why I said that."

"First, the large-scale application of cleaning robots will allow us to eliminate all cleaning positions in the company, such as mopping the floor, cleaning glass, cleaning the internal and external walls of the company, etc., all of which can be done by cleaning robots."

"I'm not joking. A simple cleaning robot can already do this kind of work. It only takes a team of 12 people to be responsible for the cleaning of the entire soft company headquarters."

"Currently the company has more than 300 cleaning staff, these will become redundant"

"Second, with the development of network technology, we will abolish the directly-operated store department. All users can purchase our software products from the Internet. There is no need to open any directly-operated store to experience it."

"All over the United States, there are more than 3000 people in the direct sales store department, and all of these people will be eliminated."

"There are more than 1 employees in store departments in Europe, Asia and other countries, and they are also facing the problem of unemployment."

"Third, the position of secretary. With the development of artificial intelligence testing, the work of secretaries and clerks can be completely replaced."

"Statistics, artificial intelligence is completely competent, writing reports, making reports, etc., are not a big problem for artificial intelligence"

"As far as I know, the headquarters of Xu's Apocalypse Technology Company has launched artificial intelligence testing, and it has been going on for almost ten months. What you need to do, you just need to say a word to the air," Gates said. He glanced at Xu Ping'an.

Xu Pingan frowned and understood the meaning in Gates' eyes. Don't think that we don't know what you are doing. We will not admit defeat. It is not certain who will win and who will lose in the future.

The meaning of challenge is very obvious.

Everyone was shocked. Looking at Xu Pingan who was sitting there with a calm face, Tianqi Group had already launched a test. Am I mistaken? This is to turn science fiction into reality.

Xu Ping'an's mind is now only thinking about one thing, who leaked the news, the voice of the Protoss appeared in Xu Pingan's mind, "Zhang Jianbin knows it, it's no different from the world's people, it's you who leaked the news" .

There was a long sigh in my heart, low-key, why didn't I know to be low-key, showing off everywhere, I'm doing well now, I'm going to get annoyed soon.

"Fourth, the staff in the development department is compressed. To be honest, our company's development department has a lot of staff and is also very bloated. Although the categories are very detailed, there are many research and development that are dispensable."

"If these dispensable projects are cut off, the company's R&D personnel will be reduced by 30.00%, which will not affect the company's normal transfer, and there is no need to set up R&D centers abroad."

"As far as these four points are concerned, if we lay off half of our staff, do you think it is possible or impossible?"

"Of course, I won't do this now, but as the competition becomes more and more fierce, this day will come sooner or later. At that time, layoffs will be inevitable."

"Therefore, I hope that everyone can really speak freely, and we can work together to resolve this contradiction and avoid the worst possibility."

"Thank you, everyone." After Gates finished speaking, he bowed to everyone and went down. Everyone applauded.

With Gates leading the way, three more people soon came to the stage to share, one of which was more serious than the other, and what Paris of the Murphy Group said was even scarier.

Murphy Group has more than 60 employees in Europe alone, more than 20 in Asia, and more than 20 in the Americas. If the production line is changed to an automated assembly line, it is very easy to lay off 30 people.

Commodities on the global market will not decrease, but the number of unemployed people in various countries is increasing. The consequences are very serious. If the economy collapses, no country in the world will be spared.

At this time, Leonardo stood up, "Everyone, it's getting late, let's have lunch and take a break, and we will continue to share at two o'clock in the afternoon."

Everyone is relaxed, and Xu Ping'an is the same. The international economy is a big game of chess, which requires players of sufficient level to play.

There is no doubt that the people at the gathering today are chess players. Xu Ping'an is keenly aware that the topic this time is not that simple, so let's see.

"Xu, you have really launched an artificial intelligence test." Norton asked from the side.

Many people around looked at Xu Pingan, wanting to see if Xu Pingan would admit this. This is not a trivial matter, it is a major event related to the future.

Xu Ping'an sighed inwardly, knowing that someone was going to ask this question, "Yes, you know the national conditions of the Celestial Dynasty, and what was conducted was only a part of the functional test of artificial intelligence, and it is still very far from being truly qualified."

"As far as I know, Softsoft and Guge have been testing artificial intelligence for more than four years."

Many people were shocked, Falk, did you make a mistake, what do you companies want to do, you have developed to this level without saying a word.

it's worth it
"Xu, is there any possibility of practical application of artificial intelligence within three years?" Adnan looked at Xu Ping'an with a solemn expression.

Xu Pingan hesitated, and clicked on Adnan, "I analyze it, it is very possible, after all, they have been tested for many years, and they are relatively mature in all aspects, and there is a great possibility of practical application within three years."

"You know, they are all working with the military on related projects"

Adnan was very smart. He fully understood Xu Ping'an's meaning and nodded seriously. Everyone stood up and started to walk outside. During the gathering this morning, I learned a lot of things that I didn't know before.

Lunch was held in the garden, barbecue, everyone drank wine and ate meat, communicating in twos and threes, when Xu Ping'an was talking to Hughes.

Gates came over with an apology on his face, "Xu, I'm sorry, I revealed your business secrets."

Xu Pingan smiled, shook hands with Gates very generously and said, "It's okay, there was no confidentiality arrangement during the test, it doesn't matter, this kind of test will not be fruitful within a few years."

"By the way, as far as I know, your soft company has been testing for several years. Can you tell me how far you have gone?" Xu Ping'an asked with a smile on his face.

Old fox, this is Gates' evaluation of Xu Ping'an. Now that I ask it in front of my face, I really can't answer it. I just expressed my apology to the other party. If I don't answer now, I will be underestimated.

"It's difficult. Our current progress is still at the stage of advanced question-answering machines. The logic algorithm is stuck, and the way of thinking in neural networks is difficult to perfect," Gates said boldly.

"Awesome, it is several steps ahead of our Tianqi Group. We have not yet developed the neural network. I believe that Softsoft must be the first company in the world to withdraw from artificial intelligence products."

"I want to buy shares, can you sell me some stocks cheaply, I am very optimistic about the development of your company" Xu Pingan said with a smile.

Everyone, including Gates, laughed. Even if you know Xu Ping'an is joking, you can't be careless. From what happened with Blizzard this time, it can be seen that Xu Ping'an's possessiveness is very strong.

If you really want to join the board of directors of Ruanruan Company, you will definitely make waves.

"I have no objection, but I can't sell my shares to you. After all, I don't have much left. You can buy other people's shares. I support you to join the board of directors." Gates said with a smile, showing great generosity .

Xu Pingan also laughed. Both of them knew that what they just said was ironic. Gates' meaning was very clear. He opposed Xu Pingan's joining the board of directors of Softsoft, and would try his best to stop it.

The two of them changed the topic in a tacit understanding and began to discuss other issues. The others were also laughing. As for what was in their hearts, no one knew.

They are all old foxes, and it is a basic skill to not show their emotions or anger. Outsiders can't guess what these people are thinking.

After the barbecue was over, many people went to the guest room lounge to take a rest. At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, they continued to share. Xu Pingan felt that the sharing in the afternoon was obviously different from that in the morning.

It was suggested that the 60 people present would unite into a coalition, coordinate with each other, and force the governments of various countries to cooperate to save future changes, so as to safeguard the interests of all.

A picture appeared in Xu Pingan's mind involuntarily, first asking questions, then publicizing the destructiveness of the problem, and then blowing the air. This is the current method, which allows you to prepare in advance.

The next step is a showdown, forcing you to join forces, to compromise, to give up profits, and to join an alliance.

Lao Tzu is a tribe, okay? I'm not on the same road with you.

These were Xu Ping'an's inner voice, and he began to think wildly.

One person was frowning and thinking. Many people saw Xu Ping'an's expression, and they consciously didn't disturb Xu Ping'an's thinking. There are many people like Xu Ping'an who are thinking about this issue seriously.

The afternoon was very short, and it ended in just over two hours. They each returned to their own residences and continued tomorrow. This time the meeting lasted for four days, and this was the first day. There was plenty of time to discuss this issue.

Everyone has something on their minds, no one comes to chat with Xu Ping'an, they all think about this issue in their own residences, without employment, people's purchasing power will plummet.

It will soon develop into chaos, and if you don't want to starve to death, you will start to think of other ways. At that time, in order to maintain the stability of the country, I am afraid that you have to go to the road of war.

When the war is over and the population is drastically reduced, a new round of prosperity will begin.

It's a cruel cycle
On the road of human historical development, there has never been a way to get rid of this kind of reincarnation. How to solve this problem, Xu Ping'an also began to think about it.

In the end, I just didn’t want to think about it. After dinner, I took a shower and went to bed directly. I’ll talk about it tomorrow. Anyway, if the sky falls, there will be a taller person to support it.
