Although Detroit is very famous, it is just a small city. It has a population of only more than 600,000, which is not even as large as a county in China.
One hundred intelligent robots are like diligent little bees, busy all the time except charging time.
It works for six hours and charges for one hour. This kind of work efficiency is very high.
As night falls, there are fewer and fewer people on the streets. But the diligent robots are still busy. Cleaning up the garbage they see and cleaning up the somewhat dilapidated streets.
The next morning, when the people of Detroit got up, they suddenly discovered that the entire city was different. One hundred robots were busy all day and night, and the entire city was basically cleaned.
Especially the main street has completely changed its appearance. Although it is still a bit shabby, it looks very clean.
This clean environment suddenly changed everyone's mood. Everyone hopes that the place where they live is clean, even if Detroit is mainly black now.
The clean streets have completely exposed everyone to the efficiency of robots. This efficiency is very high. They can guarantee that even 100 skilled cleaning workers will not be able to clean Detroit so clean in one day.
People need to rest, and people know that they are tired. Very few people in the United States choose to work overtime, even cleaning workers.
Working hours are short and work efficiency is low. Compared with robots, human efficiency seems too low. Not only that, robots also save money.
A cleaner can only earn US$3,000 a month in the United States. That’s US$36,000 a year.
A robot only costs about 160,000 US dollars. If you don't buy a robot to use human labor, it will only use human labor for five years at most.
But the robot has a minimum service life of ten years. Plus, you don’t have to worry about resigning, complaining, buying insurance, or taking on various risks, etc.
Taken together, it is very cost-effective to use robots in a country like the United States where labor costs are relatively high. In the service industry, labor costs must be saved by at least half.
Ordinary people can calculate this account, let alone the United States where capitalists gather. In the United States, labor costs are a very large expenditure, so many things in the United States are updated very quickly.
Service robots are indispensable for almost any company. In the United States, many companies outsource their cleaning work to specialized cleaning companies.
They regularly clean for these companies and get commissions. Now after seeing the efficiency of the robots, these companies immediately took action.
Service robots, like cars, can be paid in installments, with a maximum installment period of up to five years.
If they were looking for novelty on the first day of listing, then after seeing the powerful effect in Detroit, many companies took direct action.
Orders from Longteng Group came in like snowflakes. The profit-seeking nature of capitalists was clearly revealed at this time.
For capitalists, their essence is to pursue profits. As for the issue of unemployment, this is a matter of concern to the government and has nothing to do with them.
What they have to do is to reduce costs as much as possible to make profits. With service robots, they can eliminate some unnecessary positions.
Although layoffs require certain compensation to employees, it is still more cost-effective than continuing to use employees.
Layoffs are a very normal thing for American bosses, and there are many reasons. Replacing labor with robots is nothing new in the United States.
Now, the arrival of service robots has ushered in another wave of layoffs in the United States. Many companies have held meetings to prepare to lay off a group of employees to relieve financial pressure.
In just one morning, Longteng Group received hundreds of thousands of orders in the United States. In addition to American companies, there were also a large number of orders from wealthy people.
For these rich people, this amount of money is nothing. In the eyes of many people, robots are much cheaper than hiring a servant, and they are much more reliable.
Especially for the middle class, whose annual income is around US$200,000. For them, spending about a year's income to buy a robot can greatly improve their quality of life.
Future Hotel is the latest hotel chain brand that has emerged in the United States in the past two years. Future Hotel is not a good hotel, it is just a fast hotel chain brand with affordable prices.
But in the past two years, the pace of expansion of Future Hotel has been very fast. The style of Future Hotel is very obvious, just like the name, it is completely full of technology.
With the theme of the future, each room is decorated in a different style. It is completely decorated in the style of a science fiction movie. The familiar science fiction movie style can be seen here.
In addition to the sci-fi decoration, the household appliances inside are also intelligent. And the largest shareholder behind the future hotel is Zhang Fan.
Future Hotel is now very popular among young people. The various themes inside make it feel full of strange excitement.
Future Hotel now has more than 200 stores in the United States. The total number of employees exceeds 6,000, which is considered a large scale.
At the future hotel headquarters, a high-level meeting is being held. The content of this meeting is to lay off some employees to save costs.
Lay off employees and replace them with intelligent robots. This is the plan for the future hotel. For this reason, the future hotel has ordered 500 intelligent robots from Longteng Group, and these 500 robots are equipped with top-notch cleaning packages.
This kit is specially developed for the hotel industry. Intelligent robots equipped with this kit can work more meticulously.
Compared with sweeping the streets, hotel cleaning needs to be more careful, more meticulous, and cleaner.
Cleaning different items requires different tools, different cleaning fluids, etc. The power of this kit lies in that different cleaning methods are used according to different items.
Moreover, it is more efficient than human beings and can work around the clock. Guests can clean up their rooms as soon as possible after checking out.
According to the planning provided by Longteng Group, the working efficiency of a robot is higher than that of two humans.
Therefore, this time of layoffs, the hotel will also have a large number of layoffs in the future. The scale of layoffs this time is as high as 1,000, accounting for one-sixth of the total employees.
And this is just the beginning. If the robots perform well, the hotel will continue to lay off employees in the future. At the same time, the hotel will continue to expand in the future, and the number of employees used in the expanded new stores will also be significantly reduced.
Service robots fit very well with the theme of the hotel of the future. Therefore, there was no obstacle to the meeting, and the people who were laid off were not senior executives. This matter was beneficial to them.
