"Yes, it is a factory. What we are going to bring to you today is version 2.0 of our super smart factory."
Wu Hao said to the guests in the audience who showed interested expressions on their faces.
“Since we built our first super smart manufacturing factory a few years ago, due to production needs, we have successively built our second, third, fourth, etc. super smart manufacturing factories. And by investing in some traditional manufacturing factories acquisitions and carried out intelligent transformation and upgrade of these traditional factories to have intelligent and unmanned production capabilities.
As we continue to research and explore in this field, we have accumulated a series of very rich experiences, and from this we have explored and developed industry-leading technologies that are applied in super smart manufacturing factories.
Our scientific research team integrated these technologies and experiences to design and build version 2.0 of our super smart manufacturing factory.
Yes, what we are announcing to you today is a super smart manufacturing factory that we have completed and have put into use for a long time.
Regarding this factory and this technology, we originally did not plan to release it to the outside world. Because this is one of the important core technologies of our company, many of the products and related parts we release to the outside world are produced in these smart manufacturing factories.
The reason why our products are of such high quality and low price is because these factories save us a lot of production costs.
Now that we are releasing this technology to the outside world, it is equivalent to giving away the dragon-slaying knife in our hands directly. In this way, the biggest one in our hands is gone in vain. "
After hearing his words, everyone in the audience couldn't help but nodded. Everyone couldn't understand why Wu Hao and the others wanted to take out this item that was at the bottom of the box. Are they really short of money?
As if he heard the discussion of the guests in the audience, or saw what everyone was thinking, Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "No, we are not short of money. Although these words are a bit Versailles, I am telling the truth. .Any product we have released previously, including related products that have been released and are on sale, can bring us very objective income.
Although we will spend a large amount of money on scientific research every year, our company's financial situation is still very healthy, so you don't need to worry about this.
As we launch this plant, financial gain is not our primary consideration. Although there are some considerations, this is not the main reason why we finally decided to release it.
First of all, what prompted us to release this technology to the outside world was that we found that these technologies seemed to be idle in our hands.
We are just a technology company, so we don't need so many manufacturing companies. So these technologies sit idle after we use them, which is a waste of resources for us.
So we thought that instead of sitting idle here, we might as well release it to the outside world and then serve it to more companies, thereby promoting the development and progress of the manufacturing industry in our country and even the entire world.
As we all know, with the arrival of the era of population aging in our country, the population structure is also aging rapidly, even much faster than that of other developed countries.
One of the direct impacts of population aging is the shortage of labor and rising labor costs. The direct result is that labor costs rise, factory production costs rise, and the cost of natural products also rises, thus losing market competitiveness.
Many of our domestic manufacturing factories are actually labor-intensive enterprises. These manufacturing factories rely on cheap labor to produce, thus reducing production costs to the greatest extent. Therefore, the cost and price of the products produced are lower. These products are exported overseas and naturally sell well with their huge price advantage.
But now, as labor costs rise, factory production costs rise, and product prices naturally rise. As a result, the price of exporting to overseas has also increased accordingly. In comparison, the competitiveness is not that great.
Coupled with the rise of manufacturing industries in Southeast Asia, Africa and South America, the products produced in this region are low-cost, naturally sell at relatively low prices, and are highly competitive. It is difficult for the cheap products we produce to compete with them.
With their low labor costs, these regions have gradually begun to show their prominence and occupy a place in the global low-end manufacturing market.
This has also caused many foreign-invested factories that were originally established in our country and even many of our own factories to choose to move out of the country in order to seek cheaper labor and go to areas with abundant labor and low labor costs.
If so, who would be willing to move a factory around, let alone a foreign country where they are unfamiliar.
This is also a no-brainer. Everyone who has read the news in the past few years should know that there was a labor shortage. Many factories were unable to recruit people. Even if wages were increased, they still could not recruit people.
Therefore, the country has put forward the strategic goal of keeping manufacturing in the country to avoid various problems caused by the loss of manufacturing like developed countries in Europe and the United States. "
However, Wu Hao changed his tone and said: "How to keep manufacturing in the country is a very troublesome problem.
If you want to keep these production factories in China, you first need to solve their labor shortage and expensive labor problems.
So the country proposed to transfer manufacturing to the central and western regions. On the one hand, it can take advantage of the rich population resources there, and on the other hand, it can also reduce related labor costs and operating costs.
At the same time, these manufacturing industries can increase local employment and drive economic development in these central and western regions.
In addition, for these manufacturing enterprises, the state has proposed to reduce or reduce relevant taxes and fees, support and encourage their development, and provide certain subsidies for their export products, etc.
This indeed solves some of the current problems, but it treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.
The aging of the population is irreversible. The progress of social development, the improvement of consumption power and wage levels, and even the rise of currency exchange rates will cause our labor costs to continue to rise.
People who have been to developed countries such as Europe and the United States should know that the cost of employment in these developed countries is very high. Basically, it costs hundreds of dollars to hire one or two workers to work for a few hours.
Therefore, in ordinary families in developed countries in Europe and the United States, the male head must be an all-rounder with strong hands-on skills.
The reason why they have strong hands-on skills is not because of the so-called advanced education advocated by some people in China and the idea of cultivating these hands-on skills from an early age.
In fact, the simplest and most direct problem is that we can't afford it, so everyone gradually develops the habit of doing things by themselves. "
