"Going automation-free" wasn't an impulsive decision by Tang Shizhe. He had made it after careful consideration.
What was Titan Environmental like at present?
All of Titan Environmental's production was now mechanized! There wasn't a single worker in any of its workshops!
Titan Environmental was valued at fifty billion dollars, yet even counting the employees at its stores around the country, it had fewer than four thousand employees!
A supercompany earning tens of billions a month had only four thousand employees!
Tell me, if a crisis hit, would the country save your company to protect those four thousand jobs? No!
Tell me, how much real influence could a company with four thousand employees have in this state, or even this country? Very little!
But Tang Shizhe's decision to go automation-free was different! Although it would raise costs considerably, don't forget that the flagship product of Titan Environmental, the Purification Tree, had a net profit margin of three thousand four hundred percent!!!
By taking a portion of those profits and converting it into labor costs, the company would earn less, but its social influence would grow tremendously!
As soon as Titan Environmental announced it was going automation-free, it immediately began offering a large number of jobs!
The process of using robotic arms to install Purification Trees in flowerpots would now be handled by 1,500 employees! They would be paid by the piece, earning one RMB per unit! (Three shifts.)
As a result, the cost of each Purification Tree would rise by just one RMB!
The work of using robotic arms to fill the pots with specialized soil would also be done entirely by hand! Because the process was complex, this position now required 3,000 employees! They would earn two RMB per unit! The cost of each Purification Tree would rise by another
