Liu Qiangdong talks about robots replacing employees: “Do not let any brother lose their job”

"The technology era is coming. What do we do?" Talking about machine substitutions, Jingdong Group CEO Liu Qiang Dong said recently that he will never "exclude any brother." However, he also stated that he firmly believes that the robots of the future will likely replace more than 70 percent of the blue-collar workers today. "In the next 12 years, Jingdong has only three things - technology, technology, and technology!" At the recent Jingdong annual meeting, Liu Qiangdong said that the couriers' brothers are delivering goods in the misty weather and returning at 1:00 in the morning. When the building worked overtime as a "very basic" job such as purchase order, he felt uneasy, guilty and distressed, which also prompted him to make up his mind to develop technology. He also said that the emergence of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and gene technology would eliminate batch after batch of companies that could not keep up with the times. "So many technological inputs require countless amounts of money. This is precisely the very important advantage of Jingdong Group. In the next five years, our cash flow can exceed 100 billion." However, after replacing the employees with robots, Liu Qiangdong promised that there will be no brothers in Jingdong. Unemployed, they will switch to a more decent job, such as a bright and spacious office, to live a more dignified life and do no harm to the body. “Although there are tens of thousands of distribution personnel in Jingdong, do not forget that in the future more than 1,000 warehouses across the country, we need on-line monitoring personnel. With so many warehouses, so many machines and equipment, and electrified equipment, countless people need maintenance every night. To be repaired, millions of drones are to be repaired, and millions of delivery vehicles are to be repaired.” At this annual meeting, Liu Qiangdong showed up with Zhang Zetian and became a hot topic. In addition, Liu Qiangdong's recent rhetoric continues to spark a lot of attention. When it comes to the future, Liu Qiangdong said that he believes that by 2021, the fastest possible by 2020, Jingdong Mall will become China's largest B2C e-commerce platform. Earlier in an interview with the media, he also said that in his hometown Suqian, there are various stores in Gome and Suning. “That is our shame!” For this remark, Suning Yun Business Group COO Hou Enlong Then he responded in his Weibo comment: Fortunately, there are not many places where Liu always goes. Suqian is not a big city. He has already been stigmatized. If you go to more cities and more prosperous areas to see, isn't it? Can't live?
