Chapter 3739 automation and cheap labor

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The existence of three fixed space doors allows a large amount of cheap labor to be continuously transported back to the civilization of the world.

    Although the civilization of Myriad Realms has been developed for so many years, many facilities in all walks of life have been automated, but many manual tasks have not been eliminated on a large scale.

    What is the reason here?

    Along with the automation of a large number of industries, a large number of people from all walks of life have been unemployed. This situation has happened in their Myriad Worlds civilization.

    Things are also very realistic.

    To give a simple example, a factory worker earns 5,000 yuan a month and works ten hours a day.

    And if this sum of money is used to maintain the operation of automation equipment.

    This equipment can run 12 hours a day, and even in the rush state, it can also run 24 hours a day.

    Moreover, the error rate of the equipment controlled by this intelligent system is far lower than that of manual labor.

    Under this premise, the working hours are longer than yours, and the work efficiency is higher than yours, and the cost required is similar to the cost of hiring a worker, or even less.

    Why do big factories with capital still hire workers?

    At that time, as soon as these automation equipment were put on the market and became popular, large-scale layoffs suddenly occurred in a large number of factories in civilization.

    All of a sudden, the unemployment of a large number of people directly caused social unrest.

    Luo Ji, who confirmed this situation at the time, was also a little dazed, and then hurriedly asked Ye Qingxuan about the situation.

    Because Ye Qingxuan is mainly responsible for this part.

    As for Luo Ji's question, Ye Qingxuan seemed to have been mentally prepared, so she spread her hands, and while putting a document in front of Luo Ji, said

    "In this era of technological advancement, civilization, and a large number of industries entering automation, it is inevitable that some basic labor force will be eliminated, but rest assured, this state will not last for long."

    While speaking, Ye Qingxuan directly helped Luo Ji turn the document to the third page.

    Needless to say, Luo Ji already understood what Ye Qingxuan meant, and quickly focused his attention on the third page of the document.

    I saw that it actually counted the number of layoffs and the total number of workers in many factories and enterprises, large and small, so far.

    Even, for the convenience of comparison, Ye Qingxuan helped him mark the scale of those factories.

    Later, Luo Ji soon discovered a very miraculous phenomenon.

    That is, from the perspective of the number of people, it seems that those large factories with hundreds of thousands or even millions of workers casually have more layoffs, but from the perspective of proportion, it is those small and medium-sized factories that lay off workers.  proportionally larger.

    However, these small and medium-sized factories cannot be ignored.

    Although the number of jobs and staff employed in a small and medium-sized factory is far inferior to those of large factories, there are many small and medium-sized factories!

    Throughout the entire civilization, the number of small and medium-sized factories added up, the number of layoffs is very staggering.

    Luo Ji, who discovered this situation, was tired after a busy day, and didn't bother to think about it by himself, so he directly threw the question to Ye Qingxuan.

    "Qingxuan, what's going on?"

    "Actually, this matter is not complicated. Just looking at the cost of daily operation and maintenance of automation equipment, it is naturally cheaper than labor costs, and there are many advantages. In the long run, as long as no accidents occur, using automation  The price/performance ratio of the equipment is definitely higher.¡±

    "However, the money for purchasing equipment is not a small amount. The initial investment in purchasing funds cannot be taken out by some small factories at once. Therefore, the poorest small factories still have to rely on manpower to operate."

    "I understand this truth, but what about those big factories? Judging from the ratio, the layoffs of those big factories are not even comparable to many medium-sized factories."

    After listening to Ye Qingxuan's explanation, Luo Ji raised his doubts again.

    Regarding this, Ye Qingxuan's face was full of meaning.

    "The reason is also very simple. Of course, the big factories can afford the money for large-scale procurement of equipment, but the people in big factories are not stupid.  The way the factory behaves is to talk to the staff first.¡±

    Hearing this, Luo Ji raised his eyebrows, he understood

    "Assume that an automation equipment corresponds to a staff member with a monthly salary of 5,000, and hiring this staff member is at a loss.?? How about reducing the monthly salary of hired staff to four thousand five thousand, or even four thousand?  "

    "As long as wages drop, the cost of hiring staff will drop. In this way, the cost-effectiveness of manpower will be gradually reflected."

    Now, Luo Ji understood completely.

    And Ye Qingxuan continued to say

    "So, don't worry. In the final analysis, the investment in these automation equipment only makes those jobs that can be easily replaced by machines cheaper, but it will not be truly eliminated."

    "This is inevitable and unavoidable due to the high development of science and technology."

    It has to be said that this is a very real problem.

    Those who run factories are not doing charity. When there is a machine that can do better than you and save costs more than you, a labor force with little content should have its advantages.  Where is it reflected?

    Facing this era of large-scale automation, those who do not think about making progress, even if they will not be completely washed away by the tide of this era, will surely face an increasingly difficult environment.

    If you want to ride the waves, the only way is to constantly improve yourself

    And this group of people transported back from the magical civilization naturally became the cheapest labor force in their civilization of ten thousand worlds.

    It's so cheap that you only need to provide three meals a day and a place to stay.

    ? According to the rules, except for individual criminals and war criminals, ordinary cheap labor has to work for their Myriad Worlds civilization for five years.

    During these five years, if you perform well in your work, you can get rid of this status and become a full citizen.

    After that, if they want to sign a contract, continue to work there with a normal salary, or give up the job here and find a new job by themselves, it's up to them to choose.

    And according to Luo Ji's years of experience, most of them would choose to stay there.

    The reason is simple, because when confirming the identity of the population, they have already screened the population of these empires once.

    Not to mention talents, even those with special skills have been screened out in advance.

    There are only a few talents who will be missed.

    Basically, what will be classified as cheap labor is really just some cheap labor.
