Technology: Breaking the Global Monopoly

Chapter 1912 Productivity

The world will not slow down its pace of destruction because of human wishful thinking, and the light that flashes from humans often brings bloody colors.

Driverless cars, autonomous driving technology and intelligent AI programs are all inevitable results when science and technology advance to a certain level, just like when trains replaced donkey carts and horse carriages, cars replaced sedan chairs, and coachmen and sedan chair bearers were replaced by drivers.

Those who raised horses and made sedan chairs were replaced by skilled workers.

When one industry declines, other industries will eventually take its place.

Autonomous driving technology can provide society with contactless delivery, cleaning, transportation and other services, but it also places more and higher demands on the automotive engineering community.

Adding windshield washer fluid and changing engine oil are not difficult operations, but lifting the car and checking the chassis, engine, and bearings are not something that can be easily accomplished by the existing machines and intelligent programs of these companies.

Jiuzhou Technology does have supporting detection technology and unmanned maintenance equipment, but these technical equipment were developed to shine at the lunar base. Gu Qing has no plans to put them into the auto repair field on Blue Star right now. After all, from a cost perspective, the cost of maintaining a technical team is really not as much as maintaining this set of equipment.

After purchasing the equipment, it will also need to be maintained later, which is a one-step process.

The intelligent program AI [Qiaogong] is a subroutine of [Tiangong] and can help with some auxiliary work, but it cannot completely replace manual labor for work related to creative needs.

But just some auxiliary work has allowed many employees who have been granted permission to use this AI to gain some rest time in their busy work.

For example, Xu Caisheng, who works in Lujiazui, spends his working hours dealing with project plans every day after returning to the company. He only needs to provide creativity and some key ideas and information, and the rest will be completed by the [Qiaogong].

In addition to having more time to catch up on sleep, the rest of the time is spent communicating with clients as much as possible and reporting to management.

As work efficiency improved, Xu Caisheng's work performance was noticed by his supervisor. In addition to him, several other high-skilled workers in the company also obtained the right to use [Skillful Craftsmanship] and showed great enthusiasm for work, almost doing the work of three people alone.

This makes colleagues who are doing ordinary work feel tremendous pressure.

"I heard that Xu Caisheng and his team created an AI to help write proposals, and now they are stealing our business every day. If this continues, will the company no longer want us?"

"I have used both ChatGPT and Wenxin. The solutions they came up with seemed good at first glance, but in reality they were just a running account. Customers did not buy them at all. They could only be used as an advanced search engine, which was OK to use."

"I heard that what they use is called [Qiaogong], which is an AI for office use developed by Jiuzhou Technology. The PPT solutions they produce are not like the templates on the market. It should be said that the products developed by Jiuzhou Technology are really good."

"How can we use this [Skill]? Become a member or buy the qualification? Is it still in the internal test and we are not selected?"

"It is said that after the physical examination, the physical fitness of this group of people was too poor, so the doctor gave them the right to use [Skills], and the time and number of times they can use it each day are also limited."

"Damn, now the restrictions are overwhelming us. If Jiuzhou Technology doesn't impose restrictions on them, how can we work? Clients have heard that their teams come up with solutions quickly and with high quality, and now some clients want to change teams." "Oh, we have to think of a way to get this AI qualification, otherwise if we keep going like this, the company will probably cut our salaries and give them a raise."

"Jiuzhou Technology kicked out the driverless taxis a while ago, and those online taxi drivers were all praising Jiuzhou Technology, but Jiuzhou Technology ended up putting us on the spot... Damn, the stock of Suiren Company hasn't risen much recently, so I'd better sell it and lock in the profits."

"Ah? Aren't you going to use the shares of Suiren Company for retirement? Are you selling them now? You don't want the annual dividends?"

"Hmph, I had a full position when it was 100 yuan, and now it's over 500 yuan, so I should sell some of it to free up some money so I can get on board when the price drops. After I sell this, even if the company fires me, I can still live a carefree life for a few years."

"Tsk tsk, good fellow, you've made 500 from 100, you're really patient, you haven't really quit drugs, have you? So fierce?"

"Hehe, when BYD climbed from tens to hundreds, I watched it rise. It was a pity that I was a student at the time and didn't have much money to invest. Otherwise, I would be financially independent now. Alas."

"Speaking of which, our generation still has many opportunities, but every time an opportunity hits us, we have no money to catch it! It was the same with virtual currencies back then. I wanted to buy a few, but I didn't have an overseas account, so I could only watch those people make a lot of money."

"It's worth knowing earlier..."

Perhaps because of the high work and life pressures in international metropolises, conversations between colleagues always start from work and gradually turn to various investment and speculation projects.

Every time I mention these missed opportunities, I slap my thigh and say I regret it.

But at the same time, there were also some ruthless people who, after summarizing the conditions of Xu Caisheng and his group during physical examinations, began to learn and practice in an orderly manner.

In the workplace circle of Pudong City, whether it is sales, law, engineering, after-sales... everyone has started working hard in various ways.

If it is a small city with no external exports, if everyone works so hard together, it will only make everyone tired and not make much money.

However, in Pudong, a city with a large international window, the hard work of employees of local enterprises and institutions can immediately drive the company's business to flourish and rapidly increase external business.

When faced with a company that takes four days off in seven days and a company that can produce fourteen days of business in seven days, the management of foreign companies will naturally not hesitate and will directly choose the latter.

What capital wants is appreciation, not providing a good life for so-called employees.

As a result, those financial institutions that are looking for investment projects and companies in Daxia will naturally move.

"Oh my god! Pudong's smart city upgrade project hasn't even been completed yet, but their employees have already been able to unleash this level of productivity? If we set up a branch in this city, those hard-working employees will definitely bring us huge profits!"

"Yes, we have more and better overseas channels. To hell with those employees at the headquarters who only care about taking vacations!"
