Chapter 2415 Empowerment of the Internet

The Internet of Things will definitely be a major trend in the future, and China has huge advantages in this regard.

On the one hand, there are industrial advantages.

In the field of manufacturing, China already leads the world. It may still be a little weak in particularly high-end and sophisticated fields, but in consumer-grade household products, it is getting stronger and stronger.

On the one hand, it is a conceptual advantage.

The domestic technological innovation level is weak, but the business innovation field is strong, especially in the empowerment of the industrial Internet, and it can be called a global leader.

Just like Haier refrigerator.

There are many refrigerator manufacturers in the United States, and most of them have been defeated by Haier. Now the only ones with a larger market share than Haier are General Motors and Whirlpool.

But the traditional manufacturing industry in foreign countries focuses on the hard indicators of products, and they all want to make refrigerators with better quality, better cooling effect, longer shelf life, more energy-saving, and more durable.

Their focus is on the core functions of the refrigerator.

Haier refrigerator is different.

In terms of core functions, it may be inferior to other companies' decades of technology accumulation, but the market has never been determined by the quality of the product.

It doesn’t mean that the better the product, the more consumers will like it.

Internet empowerment will be an inevitable trend for many industries in the future.

Haier wants to try this Haier Smart Home, and launch a super refrigerator...it even has a built-in camera. What does this thing have to do with the core function of the refrigerator?

More like a gimmick.

However, such a design would be very interesting.

Using mobile phones will also increase the joy in life. Especially for many housewives, IoT home appliances can add more color to life.

How much is a refrigerator worth?

Earn it in just a few days of work.

The quality is not that good. If it breaks, just replace it. So what?

In modern society, the functional requirements of products have become weaker and weaker. Just like the iPhone, even the most basic functions of making calls are not very good, and the signal problem cannot be solved for many years. But it doesn’t matter, consumers have other things they care about more.

Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that Haier refrigerators surpassed General Motors and Whirlpool to become the largest refrigerator brand in the United States.

The domestic Internet power is very powerful.

Under this general trend, the impact of the Internet on all walks of life will be very great, and industries will be empowered through the Internet... In the eyes of many conservative and traditional entrepreneurs, this is the Internet talking nonsense, and they daydream about using the virtual economy to kidnap real economy.

The reality is cruel.

Such enterprises and entrepreneurs...whether domestic or foreign, will gradually fall out of touch with the times and be marginalized by the market.

Traditional companies like Haier that respond quickly, even if they cannot build a very grand IoT platform, rely on the relatively simple Haier Smart Home, which is enough to complete the empowerment of industrial lines and greatly enhance market competitiveness.

So from a larger perspective, Zhou Buqi attaches great importance to the Internet of Things platform, but it cannot be launched in a short time. It must take a few years, especially in overseas markets.

What if Ziweiyun launched this IoT platform and relied on its strong technical strength, sales strength, and large outsourcing team to help foreign manufacturing industries complete industrial empowerment...

Depend on!

So how can Haier stand out by relying on Haier Smart Home? How can we compete with those foreign rivals?

This is not just Haier, but the entire domestic manufacturing industry.

Just like Tesla, foreign car giants all treat Tesla with ridicule, contempt, disapproval, and just watch from afar. At this time, the domestic automobile industry is rapidly adopting the Tesla model. Only by relying on the soft power of industrial empowerment to change tracks can it compete in the automobile industry that is a major global competition.

If others don't do it, we do it, so that we have a chance.

If Zhou Buqi, in order to promote Ziweiyun and its own Internet of Things platform, actively woos foreign merchants and actively promotes the integration of their products with the Internet... By then, Ziweiyun will dominate the world. Foreign manufacturing has also gained momentum, and the competitiveness of domestic manufacturing has declined, and he has become a national sinner.

This is really not the influence of the outside world on him.

He didn't really want to do this.

Even though he has no equity relationship with companies such as Haier, Gree, ZTE, BYD, and Midea, he is still willing to see these companies become bigger and stronger and stand firm in the world.

"Oh, this kind of silent dedication behind the scenes...family members, who understands?!"

After getting on the plane to fly back from the east to the west, Zhou Buqi couldn't help but sigh as he was surrounded by three beautiful girls, Ning Lu, Han Yalan and Zhang Zetian.

Making sacrifices where others cannot see them, and not speaking out to let others know, feels like something is missing in life.

Zhang Zetian is now very favored and doesn't go to school much anymore. Boss Zhou takes him with him wherever he goes.

First of all, her English is good enough, secondly, she is pretty enough, and thirdly, she handles all kinds of situations extremely well, has high emotional intelligence, and is very face-saving when taken out.

Zhang Zetian accompanied Boss Zhou throughout the whole process and learned about the cooperation between Haier and Ziweixing. After hearing these remarks, he suddenly said: "No wonder you want to slow down the development of the IoT platform. It turns out there is such a profound reason. !”

Han Yalan also said with admiration: "Books say that businessmen value profits over justice, but this is not the case at all."

Zhou Buqi said: "That was in ancient times. In order to ensure the stability of the country, the ancient imperial power wanted to turn the society into a backwater. It would be best if it never changed, so that it could be passed on to generations. Businessmen all have high mobility, and they all Being very rich is the biggest factor of instability, so we invented and created a lot of remarks that disparaged businessmen, suppressing business and focusing on agriculture, and curbing the development of social productivity."

Zhang Zetian deeply believed it, and said seriously with a small face: "It's true, it's really unstable. If you hadn't taken the overall situation into consideration, and if you had really built an Internet of Things platform overseas for your own selfishness, it would have affected the domestic The manufacturing industry has been dealt a fatal blow!”

Hanyalan nodded repeatedly.

I feel like that's it.

Ning Lu couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

I feel that the lectures on women's ethics in this office are really good. The secretaries all have unconditional trust in Boss Zhou. It's like if Zi Weiyun builds an Internet of Things platform overseas, it will be a great success and then completely transform it. It is the same as the entire manufacturing system that has been deeply rooted overseas for hundreds of years.

Zhou Buqi sighed, "My biggest pursuit now is to change the world. The Internet of Things is an opportunity that can completely subvert people's daily life environment. However, in order to promote the development of domestic manufacturing and cultivate their core competition I can only let go of this idea temporarily."

Zhang Zetian said softly: "There are many opportunities to change the world, isn't there artificial intelligence? I think your choice is great, and your image suddenly becomes bigger in my heart."

Zhou Buqi laughed and patted his thigh.

Zhang Ze's sweet eyes flashed a few times, his face turned a little red, and he felt a little embarrassed. Ning Lu and Hanya Lan were present, which was okay. After all, they had been on a business trip to the east of the United States in the past few days, and the four of them slept in the same bed and shared the joy. But there was a flight attendant over there, and she couldn't let go when outsiders were present.

Just when she was hesitating, Hanyalan on the other side had already stood up and sat happily in the big boss's arms, gently lifting her neck, looking sweet and happy.

Zhang Zetian was immediately angry.

Zhou Buqi was a little funny, so he patted the place next to him and said, "Come here."

Zhang Zetian was helpless.

The best seat had been taken away, so she could only settle for the next best thing, sitting next to the big boss, and then snuggled softly into his arms.

Ning Lu would not participate in this kind of pediatric competition for favor, and just sat aside and smiled without saying a word.

Zhou Buqi's left hand held Hanyalan's slender waist in his arms, and his right hand rested on Zhang Zetian's shoulder on the right. They both hugged each other, doting on both sides, treating everyone equally.

Ning Lu sat opposite, not enjoying it at all, she was used to it.

And she knew it too.

There is no competition at all. It would be unwise to play tricks with the big boss on this kind of matter.

Ning Lusu's hands were white and tender, she held her chest up and raised her head. She held the coffee with a dignified expression, took a sip and asked calmly: "What about the future? Are you going to build an Internet of Things platform in the future?"

The girls are all in good shape, soft and boneless. Holding two of them in my arms is not tiring at all. It feels easier than holding a child. My son and daughter at home still have backache and leg pain after being held for a long time.

Zhou Buqi said easily: "Let's do it! We'll see what happens in a few years! Zi Weiyun can try it domestically first to promote the development of domestic manufacturing. Overseas, keep quiet for now."

Ning Lu asked: "When will it be done?"

Zhou Buqi said: "We will wait until the market reacts."

Ning Lu blinked twice, as if she had some realization, "Just like Adobe?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Yes, just like Adobe."

Ziweiyun wants to help Adobe build their cloud computing platform. This is funding a competitor. How can this be done? At first glance, it seems very inconsistent with business logic.

The reality is that even if Ziweiyun does not help, there are still a large number of other platforms such as Amazon Cloud, Microsoft Cloud, and Google Cloud. Moreover, with Adobe's strength, even if they do it themselves, they can definitely build their own cloud computing platform.

No matter what, Adobe will definitely have its own cloud computing platform.

This is inevitable.

In this case, Zi Weiyun might as well take the initiative to help, reach a cooperation with Adobe, provide help for their cloud computing platform, and get the resources he wants from Adobe.

If Adobe had never thought about building its own cloud computing platform, Zhou Buqi would only help them with the cloud computing transformation after having a brain attack.

The development of overseas IoT platforms must also follow this idea.

If these foreign manufacturing companies did not want to rely on the Internet to empower them, Zhou Buqi would not help them. If they react, they will also want to move towards the Internet and the Internet of Things...

If Zhou Qi is not there, he will not be polite and will definitely rush to grab customers.

If he doesn't grab it, there will be technology giants such as Google and Microsoft who can also help those manufacturing industries. Their transformation is inevitable. There is no need to waste this opportunity to make money. They should try their best to win it.
