Everyone present was so annoyed by Chen Yi that they could not refute. Although Chen Yi actually exaggerated the facts again, most people didn't know it.
In Europe and the United States, there are many "hidden champion" companies located in the upper reaches of the industrial chain, which only focus on a certain type of product.
But they also enjoy a good procurement environment for raw materials and parts. This alone puts them far ahead of mainland companies.
Even those universities and scientific research institutions are their solid backing. After all, it is impossible for less than a hundred people to do all the work.
Just like Chen Yi's chrysanthemum factory in his previous life, do you really think that Ren Fei really wants to do everything by himself? Isn't it tiring to do this? He's not being forced. Even his daughter was arrested. Ren Fei can even do it if necessary. The attitude of giving up on my daughter has been expressed, what else can I do?
But no one used this point to refute Chen Yi, because Chen Yi was right, this is not a question of IQ or technical level, but a question of attitude.
However, Chen Yi did not give them time to reflect, and directly talked about the theme of today's meeting.
"After talking about the topic for so long, everyone must have a lot of ideas in their hearts that they want to put into practice, but now is not the time to think about these things. After the meeting is over, you can all discuss among yourselves.
Let us get to the main topic today - industrial upgrading.
In fact, in my opinion, the fact that you were forced by me to upgrade the industry this time is actually a negative case. The word "forced" shows that you have not made any plans to deal with various crises. Do you think this should be done? Most of the people here are state-owned enterprises!
What you control are the lifeline industries of the country. Is this what you usually do? !
Maybe this matter will be written into textbooks in the future, so don't mind it. "
Chen Yi teased a little, which relaxed the atmosphere of the entire venue a little, but others also felt dumbfounded, and they began to reflect on Chen Yi's criticism.
In addition, they believe that their passive industrial upgrading may be included in relevant textbooks this time.
But there are not many negative emotions in the hearts of those present. After all, even if it is used as a negative teaching material, it is still a textbook. This is the same as the reason why anti-fans are also fans. The boss who can climb to this position is not a thick-skinned one. Can't even boil water?
Chen Yi also knew that most of this group of people were the type who were not afraid of boiling water, so he was ready to get some dry food.
“With industrial upgrading, it is inevitable that production efficiency will improve. After all, various production equipment are becoming more and more advanced, and it is normal for front-line workers to have fewer and fewer problems to worry about.
But does the entire system really need fewer workers?
I think many people may fall into a misunderstanding, including some people sitting here, thinking that the more advanced technology is, the fewer workers will be required to do the work, which in turn will cause many people to lose their jobs.
But what I want to say is.
These are all bullshit, sheer nonsense!
The first industrial revolution only required a few million industrial workers to maintain it well, but the second industrial revolution did not require tens of millions of industrial workers. Now, if you want to maintain your own industrial system from degradation, you have no choice. At least 100 million industrial workers can't even talk about it.
Didn’t you think of anything from this big trend?
Why do Europe, Japan, and Southern Korea so vigorously advocate global industrial division of labor and cooperation?
Because without globalization, the word waiting for them is death!
It's okay for their industrial population to be used to maintain high-end industries, but when coupled with the middle and low-end parts, it is obviously unsustainable. They can only transfer this part of the "dirty work" to other developing countries.
And the workers in the country who are engaged in these low-skilled jobs have become unemployed vagrants receiving subsistence allowances and welfare benefits.
Do you also want to learn from them and let the workers in your factory receive subsistence allowances?
Are these so-called "dirty jobs" really a burden to everyone?
No, actually these are the basics!
Some of you here have seen the Shunfeng Logistics Park Unmanned Sorting Center in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, with your own eyes. Others have heard of it even if they haven’t seen it, right? "
Everyone in the audience nodded. Dongguan’s unmanned sorting center is not only famous in the industry, but even in the country, because logistics is the core foundation of large-scale commercial activities in modern society. If that country does not have logistics, , then the economy will only be a pool of stagnant water.
After all, logistics is an important way to deliver products to customers. Even if the products produced by a company are excellent but cannot be delivered to customers, it is in vain. The operational efficiency of the logistics industry is directly related to the delivery of the goods after the order is placed. Time in the hands of customers is also related to the reputation of your own company.
Everyone is often very concerned about matters related to their own interests. Of course, today's customers must also be very concerned about this kind of unmanned sorting center that can reduce their waiting time after placing an order.
However, while many customers felt satisfied, a new controversy also emerged in society.
The logistics industry has become unmanned, so what should relevant practitioners do?
In Chen Yi's view, this is just a controversy stirred up by those big Vs and opinion leaders who are "too addicted to food" for the sake of their own popularity.
"You may be wondering, now that the sorting center has been turned off unmanned and lights out, won't the more than 500 workers in the sorting center become completely unemployed?
At that time, this issue even caused panic among many people. The taking of jobs by machines has always been a controversial issue, but Shunfeng Logistics has never taken the initiative to express any opinions.
Less than half a month later, all the public opinion turmoil gradually subsided, and everyone just did what they were supposed to do, without causing any waves at all.
However, the outside world does not care, but it does not mean that we do not care, because this is related to what we should do if the metal industry does not produce unmanned production in the future.
After this controversy, except for cargo sorting practitioners in the mainland logistics industry who began to take the initiative to learn some new knowledge and skills in their spare time, others still did whatever they were supposed to do, maybe after a few casual remarks on the Internet. I forgot about it in the blink of an eye.
So the question becomes, where have the more than 500 workers in the sorting center gone?
In fact, these 500 people were directly transferred to Shunfeng Logistics' other logistics parks in the mainland. The specific work has also shifted from low-tech manual labor positions such as manual sorting and transportation to high-tech positions such as overall planning, monitoring equipment operations, and equipment maintenance. on the post.
In the past, this large sorting center only needed 500 people to maintain operations, but now, there are zero people on site!
However, the entire system requires more personnel. The total number of personnel required for spare equipment manufacturing, system maintenance and operation, improvement and upgrades required for the operation of the entire automation system has reached more than 1,200 people.
Everyone should understand that this industrial upgrading of Shunfeng Logistics only allows skilled workers engaged in manufacturing to occupy the living space of low-tech service industry practitioners.
However, the number of people required to maintain the normal operation of the entire system has more than doubled, and the average technical content required for each position has more than doubled.
The same goes for the ODM foundries of the Chip Alliance. Although they have not completely turned off the lights, there are more and more smart devices, and more and more workers are switching from repetitive and monotonous low-tech manual labor positions to high-tech positions.
The experience and knowledge accumulated by these workers who have been working on the front line for a long time are a very valuable asset.
When new smart equipment is added to the entire operation system, they are also required to participate in the discussion of the new equipment design. When the equipment is manufactured and put into trial operation, they are also required to observe and record various problems that arise during the operation of the equipment. , and then discuss and summarize how to improve it with the designers until all equipment is updated.
These workers were later transferred to positions with higher technical content, which represents the complete success of this round of industrial upgrading.
Because some problems will only be encountered by these front-line workers. After all, they are working with those cold machines on site day and night, not the related design workers who sit in the office all day long, let alone those who only provide equipment with Upstream supplier of spare parts.
Only the summary of these front-line personnel is the most comprehensive. After these issues are fed back to the manufacturer, the manufacturer will then propose various design indicators to upstream parts suppliers.
The entire industrial chain was activated in this way, and in the process, the knowledge of these front-line workers was slowly accumulated.
In the end, they will be able to take on positions that require higher personnel quality without even realizing it. After the industrial upgrading is completed, new rules and regulations will also be summarized by them, which can reduce the difficulty for the new batch of workers to get started and greatly improve the overall efficiency of the industry. The operating efficiency of the system.
It was not until a few years later that a new round of industrial upgrading began. A new group of workers who had also worked for a long time also accumulated enough experience and knowledge to participate in the design and production of new generation equipment. The rich experience is the basis for a new round of industrial upgrading.
Upgrade, upgrade!
The key to industrial upgrading lies in the word upgrade!
What is an upgrade?
The replacement of on-site equipment is an upgrade, the technological update of equipment manufacturers and upstream parts suppliers is also an upgrade, and the transfer of front-line workers from low-tech positions to high-tech positions is also an upgrade!
Each round of upgrading requires more and more high-quality technical workers. No matter which link is missing, it is just a daydream to successfully realize industrial upgrading! "
After hearing what Chen Yi said, everyone felt enlightened.
In fact, most people at the scene have noticed these problems for a long time, and have also tried to come up with various solutions.
But they only pay attention to the small part of the entire system that they are responsible for. This is the same as a blind man touching an elephant. Everyone does their own thing. Production efficiency has indeed improved in a short period of time, but they have ignored some other industries. It seems like a problem that has nothing to do with me.
This is similar to how a certain company's end product may seem unrelated to a certain brick in a steel plant, but the final quality of the finished product is directly related to how well the brick is fired.
