Amazon is the largest cross-border e-commerce company in the United States and has maintained a good momentum since its fame. However, what people did not expect is that now Amazon is also facing development difficulties.
According to the official notice, the company may have to reduce another 9,000 employees.
In fact, not only Amazon, but also many Internet companies in Silicon Valley are also expanding layoffs, and I heard that there may be about 250,000 Chinese elites or lose their jobs in the future, and they can only passively return to China in desperation.
So, is this good news for the development of the mainland's science and technology industry?
I don't know if you remember that just in January this year, Amazon completed a large-scale layoff activity, involving a total of 18,000 employees.
At the time, many called it the largest layoff since Amazon's founding, but it wasn't the end.
After entering March, the economic environment of the United States is still not optimistic. Under such circumstances, the development of major Internet companies is also facing a greater impact.
In order to reduce costs as much as possible, the vast majority of Internet companies are carrying out a new round of layoffs.
In addition to Amazon to cut 9,000 employees again, Facebook and other well-known high-tech companies in the United States will next carry out a large-scale layoff.
According to insider analysis, after experiencing this wave of layoffs, there may be about 250,000 Chinese elites facing the choice of passively returning to China. This is naturally good news for the development of the mainland's high-tech industry.
At the same time, it also reflects a major social problem.
Previously, many people thought that the mainland's science and technology could not develop because our foundation was not good. In fact, this is only one of the reasons, the most important thing is the lack of talent.
We are not without high-end talents, and the number of high-end talents coming out of top universities such as Qingbei every year is large.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of high-end talents in Qingbei did not choose to stay in China for development, but became a group of American drifters, and even some extreme people, and said some extreme words.
Think that even if you are adrift in the United States, you should not return to China for development. I wonder if in the face of the current predicament of the US side, can they still say such words?
Presumably, the vast majority of people cannot, this wave of layoffs has reflected the current development status of the United States to a certain extent.
For these high-end talents, it is not a wise choice to continue to stay in the United States. At such a time, returning to China may still be able to enjoy the first wave of talent dividends, without having to compete with more talents returning to China.
If this opportunity is missed, then after the 250,000 high-end elites return to China, the competitive pressure they will face will increase unprecedentedly.
According to the statistical results given by relevant US institutions, in the US high-end talent market, local high-end talents account for 31%, and Chinese high-end talents account for as high as 27%.
It is no wonder that many domestic netizens have ridiculed, believing that Tsinghua Peking University is the talent training base of the United States. Although this statement is a bit hurtful, it does reflect the current reality to a certain extent.
The reason why mainland high-end talents were keen to go to the United States for development must also be related to the good environment of the United States.
In recent years, the mainland has also achieved good development, which can provide a better development environment for these high-end talents. Perhaps under such circumstances, more and more employees of dismissed American factories will be willing to return to China for development.
This upsurge of returning to China may bring greater impetus to the development of the mainland's science and technology industry.
Of course, for ordinary migrant workers who remain in China, the successive return of these overseas Chinese elites may bring us greater competitive pressure and employment pressure.
This also requires us to continuously improve ourselves and have stronger strength in order to stabilize our own development in this wave of overseas elite talents.
At all times, elite talent is in the spotlight. No matter how the social environment changes, truly powerful people always have the right to choose.
After the layoffs, high-end talents in the United States can choose to continue to develop in Silicon Valley, continue to change a new owner, or simply start their own business.
There are not a few Chinese who have successfully started businesses in Silicon Valley, such as Zhang Sheng, Liu Min and others, all of whom are representatives of successful Chinese entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley.
But if you are an ordinary migrant worker who stays in the United States for money, then choosing to return to China for development under such circumstances may be a better choice. After all, compared with the United States, the current development environment of the mainland is relatively stable.
We are also in a state of thirst for high-end scientific and technological talents, and hope that everyone can recognize the situation and choose good birds to live.
At the same time, in the process of development, they can also make efforts to contribute to their own country and better realize their life and social values.
