In the eyes of professionals, although the performance of these businesses of Xuantian Technology Company is very impressive and can even be described as amazing, their potential is obviously not in these businesses.
What everyone is looking forward to is the robot business of Xuantian Technology Company. The reason for using the word "expectation" is that currently everyone does not know what the robot is like and cannot make accurate judgments.
All current information is based on Xuantian Technology Company's own explanation. If there is no obvious deviation in this information, Xuantian Technology Company will undoubtedly become the most valuable company in the world.
No matter how popularized automation equipment is, labor participation is essential, because many automated machines are unable to achieve the movements and flexibility that humans can achieve.
Therefore, before humanoid robots come out, labor positions will never be eliminated. It is just a matter of the number of positions. Even Zhao Yi cannot completely say that there will be no need for labor.
Even the robot factory currently under construction by Xuantian Technology Company requires the participation of human labor in the initial stage. After a robot production line is established, robots will be used to replace the labor position to achieve completely unmanned production.
With the ultra-high efficiency and human flexibility of humanoid robots, the value generated is much higher than that of human labor, which provides unlimited possibilities for robot application prospects.
Generally speaking, employee salaries account for about half of the GDP. If calculated based on my country's total economic volume of 30 trillion yuan, the future potential of humanoid robots is 15 trillion yuan.
Although most of the funds will be used to pay subsidies to those who leave their jobs, due to the improvement in labor efficiency, the value generated will also increase, which will be of great help to the increase of the domestic economic aggregate.
Although my country's total economic output is less than 30 trillion yuan now, as long as humanoid robots are widely used, the domestic economy will be like a rocket. Next year or the year after, it can easily exceed the 40 trillion yuan mark.
Because the use of humanoid robots is equivalent to releasing the shackles of population size, the only restrictions on industrial development now may be the acquisition of raw materials and technological breakthroughs at a higher level.
Regarding the restrictions on raw materials, on the one hand, we can find more sources of raw materials. For example, in addition to importing from traditional raw material supply countries, our country is also vigorously developing seabed mineral resources to find ways to diversify the sources of raw materials.
On the other hand, it is to develop recycling technology with higher utilization rate, so that raw materials can be continuously circulated in the economic system and reduce dependence on external raw materials.
If inexhaustible energy can be used, even many raw materials can be continuously transformed into each other through corresponding technologies, thereby obtaining rarer raw materials.
With enough energy, even water can be turned into gold. However, if you want to realize the conversion between substances on a large scale, even controllable nuclear fusion energy is not enough. You must find a higher-level energy supply.
As for technological breakthroughs, they cannot be accomplished overnight. However, our country still has great advantages in this regard. Its ability to make technological breakthroughs and innovations in the future will be far higher than other countries in the world.
It can even be said that our country’s future scientific and technological capabilities will even be stronger than all the countries in the world combined, because we have three magic weapons to win.
The first is that we have a huge population base. Population is the basis of all development. We dislike that the population is too large, but it is just not utilized well, or other constraints make the population a burden.
In this regard, our country is currently doing very well. It has used superb biotechnology to greatly improve the efficiency, quality and quantity of agricultural production and solve stomach problems.
Almost universal higher education has been launched. Although there is a threshold for college entrance examination, as long as you work hard, there is basically no problem of failing, which solves the problem of brain.
The second is the incredible existence of intelligence milk. Although it seems to only increase IQ by about 20%, this 20% increase in IQ is like a natural chasm, which makes people feel a little desperate.
As the saying goes: "The IQ gap between people is sometimes even greater than the IQ gap between people and animals." And a 20% increase in IQ will reach this level.
This is why he must let as many students in our country enter university studies as possible, just to not waste these talents and maximize their mental advantages.
With a super high IQ, even if you stay at home and work as a rice bug in the future, you may create more value than ordinary people's hard work, because he does not believe that people with super high IQs will be willing to be a rice bug, at least most of them. Not so.
In order to give full play to the advantages of these brains, he also advocated the establishment of a large number of scientific research institutes to provide scientific research environments for these highly intelligent talents. If they have ideas, they can obtain experimental conditions nearby and conduct relevant research.
The third is super artificial intelligence. Ordinary artificial intelligence can at best improve work efficiency and has no other innovative effects. It is not of much help to scientific development.
However, super artificial intelligence has surpassed the scope of ordinary artificial intelligence, is infinitely close to humans, and even crushes humans in terms of IQ. Coupled with the advantage in computing power, it is simply invincible.
Super artificial intelligence is just a small test, but Xuantian Technology Company's innovation workshop has achieved leapfrog development of more than 500 billion yuan in revenue. This shows the horror of super artificial intelligence.
If it weren't for the fact that the computing power of photon supercomputers is unable to support many scientific theoretical research, especially research in unknown fields, otherwise, super artificial intelligence alone would be able to surpass countless human scientists.
Therefore, Zhao Yiyi himself is looking forward to the emergence of quantum computing, especially universal quantum computers, which are a perfect match for super artificial intelligence and can even play a greater role than all human scientists.
It's just that the earth doesn't need to take such big steps yet. In his opinion, it only needs to follow the current rhythm and realize technological leaps step by step.
Because the more advanced scientific results are, the more difficult they are to understand. If it is just scientific research results that super artificial intelligence understands but humans cannot understand, then it will have no effect on humans in the short term.
No matter how technology develops, it is always people-oriented. No matter how powerful super artificial intelligence is, it is just a useful tool. Therefore, while the tools are improving, humans themselves need to keep up intellectually.
This is why he currently feels that quantum computers are not so urgent, because the current level of human intelligence development cannot keep up, and the role of quantum computers is not that great.
Otherwise, he would have started researching quantum computers long ago, and would not have allowed his companies to slowly study it. Although there were some results, the practicality was not great.
In fact, Tianshu Machinery Company has developed a prototype of quantum communication, but it cannot transmit a large amount of information. The only advantage is that it is unmatched by other communication methods in terms of confidentiality.
Polaris' quantum computer is still limited to the calculation of specific mathematical problems. It is not very practical and has very harsh conditions for use.
Although the business of Xuantian Technology Company may not always be able to continue, there is no big problem in doing it for hundreds of years, because according to the existing artificial intelligence technology, it is impossible to achieve this level.
What's more, the current common artificial intelligence technology is still controlled by his subsidiaries. Foreign countries have not yet studied the reason. Even if it is researched, it is the lowest level artificial intelligence technology.
Not to mention artificial intelligence technology, the current hardware technology involved in robots may not be achieved by other countries for hundreds of years. This comes from technological confidence.
His companies have been ahead of Western countries in electronic technology for at least 10 years, but there is still a long way to go before they can develop the technology needed for robots.
If he hadn't provided a lot of technology to speed up the process, it wouldn't be enough to watch. Even so, some technologies have not been released and are in his own hands.
Although they are all companies owned by themselves and their theories belong to them, in order to avoid unnecessary risks, it is very necessary to keep key technologies in their own hands.
Even the technology that is taken out is dispersed, allowing each company to master a little bit to avoid excessive concentration of technology and a greater possibility of technology leakage.
It is not possible to produce the same product just by owning the parts. The assembly technology involved is even more important and more difficult than the technology involved in all the parts.
The reason why we need to guard against thieves is mainly because artificial intelligence and robotics will be our country's core technologies for a long time to come. They are strategic technologies and cannot be overemphasized.
It can even be said that mastering humanoid robot technology will completely separate our country from other countries. From now on, the gap will become wider and wider, which is a leap in the level of civilization.
That is to say, our country's military strength has developed tremendously, so he dared to show it. If it were before, he would not have dared to show it, and it would probably trigger a new world turmoil.
From the mouths of foreign media and foreign politicians, you can hear the expressions of deep jealousy and longing. However, we are not who we were back then and have enough ability to protect our achievements.
They even have basically no means to effectively restrict our country. In terms of energy, our country has begun to fully shift to the use of electric energy, and its reliance on fossil energy is very small.
Even if it is used as industrial raw materials, we can also mine oil fields from the seabed, which is enough to meet the needs of our country's industrial raw materials. There is no possibility of being blocked at all, and they can't block it just because they want to.
As for mineral resources, they have seen my country's super seabed mineral mining capabilities. We respect international standards and will apply for approval. If you don't understand the interests, there is no need to deal with international laws.
At present, Tianxing Mining Company is frantically exploiting seabed mineral resources, and others are helpless. Although some people stand up and say that it is harming the seabed ecology, more people choose to remain silent.
Seabed mining definitely has a certain impact on marine ecology, but it is not as big as imagined, because the mineral area is actually very small. Even if there are billions or tens of billions of tons of iron ore, it is actually just a mountain top. .
As long as some environmental protection measures are taken during mining, the impact is not even as high as land mining. This is why many people remain silent because they are not convincing enough.
Tianxing Mining Company has now increased its production capacity and has no plans to reduce it. Even if the domestic industry cannot digest it, it will continue to transport these resources domestically and store these resources.
Last year, the iron ore reserves alone were as high as 1.5 billion tons. This trend has not decreased. If nothing unexpected happens, when the iron ore he provided is mined, the iron ore reserves will be as high as 5 billion tons.
These iron ores have been carefully processed. If they need to be used, they can be directly taken away and used. This is a guarantee for our country to effectively prevent external risks.
Moreover, as my country's industrialization and urbanization progress, the demand for steel will enter the stock era in the future, and the dependence on external iron ore will be even lower.
In fact, the reserves of iron ore in our country are not low, but the grade is not high. If we insist on using it to make iron, it is not impossible, it is just a matter of cost.
In addition to the largest mineral resources such as iron ore, Tianxing Mining Company also mines other seabed mineral resources on a large scale. If it cannot be digested, it will be stored so that it can be used one day.
The earth's resources are certain. Now, when everyone's technology is not up to par, if we don't exploit more points, the competition will be more intense in the future. It is the last word to take advantage of the blank period to occupy more points.
Tianxing Mining Company is now the world's largest mining giant, with annual revenue accounting for 41% of the global mineral trading market and achieving an annual revenue target of 150 billion yuan.
In addition to the iron ore mentioned frequently before, another bulk commodity is bauxite. After the iron ore mining became stable, Tianxing Mining Company turned its attention to the mining of bauxite.
Our country not only has a strong demand for steel, but also for any mineral resources. At present, our country's annual demand for bauxite has reached 150 million tons.
The price per ton of bauxite varies according to the quality, but the price is generally much higher than the price of iron ore, with the average price per ton reaching 500 yuan.
At present, the bauxite produced by Tianxing Mining Company accounts for 40% of my country's annual bauxite demand. The annual mining volume is definitely higher than this, but the proportion of sales is basically maintained at this level.
The excess mining volume is used for storage. After maintaining a certain proportion, the rest can be imported. It does not matter even if the proportion decreases. As long as the import price does not rise, there is no problem for our country.
Anyway, foreign exchange is used to purchase these mineral resources, and it is also the largest use of foreign exchange in our country, so we are unambiguous when it comes to purchasing mineral resources.
Including various other minerals, Tianxing Mining Company's proportion is not low. This is because the global mineral resource prices have not risen sharply and the revenue created.
If the value of mineral resources mined every year is included, this figure may directly double to 300 billion yuan, but it is all stored in physical minerals.
If Tianxing Mining Company continues to mine at this rate for 10 years, even if it does not mine minerals in the future, it will be able to sit on the throne of the world's largest mining giant for many years with its reserves.
Because the surge in my country's demand for minerals is accompanied by the rapid development of my country's industrialization and urban infrastructure and other fields, after this period passes, demand will decline significantly.
Due to my country's continued strong demand for imports of external resources, the scale of global trade has greatly increased, making my country the most important trading country in the world and the largest trading country among 108 countries in the world.
Our country alone accounts for 60% of global trade volume, making it truly the world's largest trading country. The products we export are basically industrial products, and even agricultural and sideline products are high value-added products.
The ability to achieve such good results is of course due to my country's achievements in the industrial field. Many of our products are necessities in many countries and have high trade value.
On the other hand, Shangtong Trading Company has established a complete global sales channel. Originally, offline channels were very strong, but now their online channels have almost unified the world.
Although companies in countries with certain technological capabilities have also launched their own online trading platforms, the scale is too small and the market share is negligible.
Shangtong Trading Company completed a global transaction volume of 5 trillion yuan through the online platform last year, becoming the world's most important single sales channel, making their online platform status more stable.
Their online platform is developing much faster than in its previous life. The main reason is because of the economic downturn in foreign countries. Many people are paying attention to online shopping options because the prices are cheaper.
Another reason is that Shangtong Trading Company has solved the distribution problem. They have the fastest and most advanced logistics system in the world, as well as a huge warehousing system.
What's more important is the terminal delivery system, which makes online shopping more convenient. Basically, it can be delivered within three days. If you don't mind paying the extra delivery fee, it can be delivered to the user on the same day.
Coupled with perfect after-sales service, consumers' online shopping experience has been further improved. Therefore, the number of people choosing to shop online is increasing, and it can even be said to be an explosive increase.
At present, Shangtong Trading Company has b2b, b2c, c2c, o2o and vertical shopping platforms. The layout is relatively complete, leaving little room for competitors.
However, there are not loopholes that can be exploited. For example, their b2c model is the JD model in the previous life, but there is another model that is the platform b2c model, like Tmall in the previous life.
As for the Pinduoduo model, he had never thought about it. The reason why the Pinduoduo model is successful is of course their unique diffusion effect, which allows users to gather in large numbers in a short period of time.
On the other hand, it is related to the severe involution of the manufacturing industry. In order to capture more markets, many companies operate at low profits and then use their scale advantages to keep other competitors out.
Our country has not yet reached that point. The early emergence of Pinduoduo will not be of much benefit to the development of our country's industry. This model requires paying close attention to whether anyone is doing it in the market. You don't have to be the first to rush in.
Moreover, Pinduoduo’s low-profit operation model cannot actually keep up with its service. In terms of shopping experience in the previous life, Pinduoduo was probably the worst. There was a lot of deception, and a large number of inferior products emerged one after another.
Therefore, he believes that the current Shangtong Trading Company can do a good job in operating the Tmall platform in advance. This is a real land rent collection model, while the JD model is a direct operation model. The profit models between the two are still very different.
Since the two platforms are in direct competition, in order to avoid unfair management resources if placed in the same subsidiary, he thinks it is a better way to operate them separately.
By then, the two platforms will have a certain degree of competition, and they will also give consumers more choices. Especially for merchants, the emergence of two competitive platforms will be considered a very beneficial thing.
Therefore, he believes that once the platform-based b2c model is launched, it will definitely be welcomed by the majority of enterprises, which means that they can trade directly with consumers and do not need to purchase wholesale through middlemen.
But if they want to think that they will earn more because of this, they may be overthinking. Although one makes profits from the price difference of goods, and the other makes profits from commissions and advertising, the final profit margin level should be similar.
It’s not that there is any tacit understanding between the two, but that they will definitely communicate well in advance to avoid excessive competition that harms their own interests. Competition is definitely necessary, but vicious competition should be avoided.
Shangtong Trading Company spends so much resources and funds to build a global online trading system, not to lose money, but the ultimate goal is to make profits.
If due to disorderly competition, not only will you not make money in the end, but you will operate at a loss, it is completely unnecessary. Therefore, the headquarters of Shangtong Trading Company will definitely formulate a competition standard to avoid disorderly competition.
In addition, they also face some problems, that is, whether the two platforms should share infrastructure, such as warehousing, logistics, after-sales services, etc.
Sharing can naturally significantly save the cost of the new platform and provide the new platform with more sources of income and competitiveness. After all, these are additional services that must be charged to the merchants.
But if you do this, a discerning person will know at a glance that the two platforms are the same company, because competitors will never let each other use their own infrastructure, opening the door to convenience, unless they are crazy.
If it is not shared, it will cause a serious waste of resources and increase the operating costs of the new platform. Of course, these services do not have to be provided, and all services will be arranged and borne by the settled companies themselves.
However, if you do this, it will be difficult to guarantee the service quality, it will be difficult for the platform to gain recognition from consumers, the service quality cannot be guaranteed to be uniform, and the disadvantages of the new platform will be further highlighted.
He thought for a while, he could separate the service business, set up a separate service company, and then let the two companies rent the services. This would perfectly solve the problem. As for how to operate it, it was Shangtong Trading Company's own business.
This kind of problem can be solved in countless ways in business operations. As a company that specializes in the commercial field, there is no need for Zhao Yi to teach them how to do it, they can handle it themselves.
At the end of last year, the average monthly salary in China reached 2,500 yuan, which greatly exceeded Zhao Yi's requirements. However, throughout the year, the average salary was still around 2,000 yuan, and the annual income was around 24,000 yuan. (End of chapter)
