The leader's time is very precious, so after inspecting and listening to brief reports from Yuan Siming, Lao Ma and others, he left with satisfaction surrounded by a group of people.
After Lao Ma answered a few reporters' questions, he immediately left in his car. Upon seeing this, the invited guests began to leave one after another.
Wu Hao was also a little uninterested in this, as if he was accompanying him throughout the whole process. It felt like it was optional here, so why did he come to attend this ribbon-cutting ceremony?
If I had known this, I might as well have found an excuse not to come.
But when I saw the invited guests next to me, they were not even qualified to cut the ribbon in person. They just came to watch the ceremony, but they came from all directions. What on earth were they planning?
Compared to them, it seems that my participation in this ceremony is somewhat meaningful.
Just when he was bored and about to leave, a group of reporters came over and surrounded him. Li Wenming, Zhang Xiaolei and Hu Yue, who had been watching him from a distance, quickly squeezed in and protected him in the middle.
"Mr. Wu, can I interview you for a few words?"
"Wu Hao, what do you think of the intelligent unmanned warehousing system?"
"How is the negotiation between your company and the fruit company going? There is news that you have reached an agreement."
…
He was a little confused at first for the reporters who came to him so suddenly, but he soon came to his senses. He realized that if he didn't accept an interview and answer questions, he would definitely not be able to get out of this situation.
So he sorted out his thoughts and nodded to Zhang Xiaolei in front of him. Zhang Xiaolei understood and then raised her hand to the reporters and said: "Everyone, be quiet for a moment. Let's find a suitable place to conduct the interview first. Don't block the passage here."
Immediately, the reporters gathered around Wu Hao and came to the open area. The other people standing here immediately gave up their place when they saw such a huge crowd.
Wu Hao found a place to stand, and then a group of reporters came over with microphones in hand.
"Mr. Wu, we saw that you participated in this ribbon-cutting ceremony. Does this mean that you have also participated in the 100 billion super smart logistics construction project that Mr. Ma mentioned?" A female reporter asked first.
Wu Hao shook his head when he heard this: "We are only cooperating in the technical field. We don't know much about Mr. Ma's grand plan."
"Then what do you think of Mr. Ma's 100-billion-dollar super smart logistics system project?" the reporter then asked.
Wu Hao said with a smile: "The plan is very ambitious. If it can be realized, it will likely change the market structure of the entire domestic logistics industry."
"But once this project is implemented, it will cause a large number of logistics personnel to lose their jobs. What do you think of this problem?" A male reporter next to him asked eagerly.
Regarding this somewhat pointed question, Wu Hao did not think much, but answered with a smile: "The development of science and technology is pushing the entire sociology forward, and this process never stops.
What is the purpose of the emergence of technology or industry? It is to liberate humans from heavy work, release productivity better and faster, and serve the entire human society.
It is precisely because so many new technologies and technologies have been put into use that our society has developed to the point where it is today. No one can stop this. This has been the case in the past and will be the same in the future.
Even if we don't take this step first, other people, other companies, and other countries will take this step. By that time, we will not only be subject to others in terms of technology and intellectual property, but we will also pay a huge cost to keep up with them.
What we are doing now is to develop our own intelligent unmanned logistics system before them and seize the opportunity in this industry.
In the traditional sense, we are a country with a large population and a large labor force. But as our country gradually enters an aging society, we will gradually feel the tremendous pressure and impact caused by the labor shortage.
As reporters, you may all know that at the beginning of this year, some factories in the south were already in the dilemma of lying about employment and unable to recruit people.
With the shortage of labor and rising labor costs, more and more companies have begun to move out of the country and set up factories in countries and regions with abundant labor and low costs. This is not just a loss of tax revenue for us, it is a loss of productivity.
This means that if we want to change this situation, we must upgrade the industry, realize intelligent manufacturing, and gradually get rid of dependence on manpower.
I think this will be a problem we have to face for a long time to come.
As a traditional labor-intensive logistics industry, it will also face such a situation. In fact, we can all feel that express delivery prices have been rising in the past two years. One of the big reasons is that labor costs have also been rising rapidly in the past two years.
This is true for us, and it is true for our entire logistics industry. As labor-intensive industries, these logistics companies are the most sensitive in this regard.
What we do is to help logistics companies get rid of professional difficulties and promote the healthy and stable development of this industry. "
After saying so much, his mouth went dry. In fact, he didn't want to say this originally. But faced with such a sensitive and attention-grabbing issue, he had no choice but to practice Tai Chi in this way. This is also a routine that celebrities usually use when facing the media. Wu Hao has learned it from TV for a long time and finally used it today.
"But what about those eliminated workers?" A reporter asked loudly, which made his face sink. Why are there still people asking questions?
But faced with so many cameras, he could not refuse and could only reply vaguely: "The whole replacement process will be relatively slow, so this also gives these workers enough time to respond.
In this regard, I have two suggestions. One is to hope that they can actively change jobs. At this stage, there are still many professions that cannot be separated from people.
The other is to strengthen their own learning and improve their skills to adapt to the upgraded working environment of the logistics industry. "
In fact, what he said was no different from what Lao Ma and Yuan Siming said. He just restated it from a technical perspective.
These two suggestions are nothing more than an attitude and a response. Most of the workers who are actually engaged in logistics work have relatively low academic qualifications and can only perform simple manual labor.
It is basically impossible for them to learn to improve themselves to adapt to the upgraded work. The fully automated and intelligent warehousing and logistics system no longer requires talents like them.
But the truth is always cruel and hard to accept. But in order to avoid irritating these people, no one is willing to speak out.
