Chapter 919 Dubai
Sun Zhenyi's joining naturally leads to the Vision Fund, as well as Zhou Shi's big plan in India, that is, the cashless social plan promoted based on digital India.
"India is a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual country, and their market is extremely complex, and investment in India may not be able to pay off!" Although Mubarak admires Zhou Shi a little, the market logic will not be confused.
The Indian market just looks good, just like their army, whether it's the caste system or the language and weights and measures, which is a big problem that restricts India's development. There are many factors why large supermarkets such as Wal-Mart and Carrefour have lost in the Indian market, such as people with different caste systems not shopping together, India's lack of spending power, logistics and transportation (tolls will be charged between two states) and tax systems between various regions, and the problem is a complex mess.
Many people say that India has the hope of surpassing China, and the person who says these things may not have been to India, or is an Indian himself, so he has the confidence to be confused. Although India has a larger youth population, it is not possible to solve these problems in a short period of time because basic education is not up to standard, there is no unified language, and different regions have different cultural backgrounds.
Digital India is great, but can you imagine people who can't even write being able to use smart electronic devices flexibly? Maybe with more advanced speech recognition and artificial intelligence, people can get rid of words and just need words to control. Or if smart devices can be controlled by the mind, then it may be possible for the illiterate to enjoy this high-tech world perfectly.
Zhou Shi is targeting India's elite, or those who know English and Hindi, and these two groups should be considered to be at the forefront of India's talent and consumption levels. In the short term, the size of the Indian market is estimated to be half that of China, and the market size of hundreds of millions of people is enough for him to venture into the market.
"No matter how many problems the Indian market has, as a unified country, it has the potential to reach half of China's, that is, with India's current GDP scale, it is normal to triple it. "Zhou Shi, the gap between the GDP of India and China is 5~6 times.
"I don't deny the possibility, but the stakes are too great!" Mubarak
"I won't talk about ideals, it should be understandable that Mr. Sun is a venture capitalist, entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs are different, some people can follow the trend forward, and some people can lead the development of the times and create trends.
What I'm trying to do in India is to help the country grow and grow, and a multipolar and pluralistic world is in our interest. I'm more interested in changing the world than making money, and if I can be remembered for a long time after I die, maybe I've achieved immortality in a sense!" Zhou Shi's current pursuit is similar to the three immortals, hoping that one day he will be able to achieve Lao Zhuang's virtue, and by the way, he will be able to make meritorious contributions to mankind in the world.
Zhou Shi did not try to convince Mubarak, but only showed his attitude and his future investment focus will shift, from the previous focus on making money, to now paying more attention to social influence.
Sun Zhenyi also helped explain the difference between Eastern Confucianism and Taoism culture and Middle Eastern Islamic culture, in the final analysis, it is the difference in everyone's pursuit, vision, pattern and responsibility. Mubarak represents the UAE as a country that works for the benefit of the country. And Zhou Shi doesn't need to think too much, and do what he can for the country while satisfying himself. However, the concept of whether there will be a state in the future world is not certain, which limits the way he can help.
"Mr. Zhou, can you tell us more about the Digital India plan?" said Abu Dhabi King Chumo Khan Med who participated in their private exchange the next day.
"I only know what is related to me, that is, what Time and Yahoo are good at, big data, cloud computing and artificial intelligence, with a focus on financial services and mobile payments......" Zhou Shi has no opinion on this, some things are not kept secret, and some things are not determined.
Different identities have different concerns about things, and Mubarak, who originally only wanted to invest in Zhou Shi, was replaced by Mohammed, who is more concerned about the development of the United Arab Emirates. The most enlightened countries in the Middle East don't just talk about it, and Yilan women wear short-sleeved shorts and even flee to the UAE to avoid persecution by the traditional Araba forces. This shows how conservative most countries in the region are.
"Do you think it's possible for the UAE to digitally transform?" said Mohammed
"It depends on your thinking, it's certainly not very mature at the technical level, and there will be a lot of small problems in the process of promoting digitalization. If you are a pioneer, of course, there is no problem, and the benefit is to be ahead of the world in digitalization. But if you want to adopt mature systems and technologies, at least in the short term, it is not realistic. For underdeveloped countries and regions like India, they are willing to gamble, and even if they fail, there will be no big losses. But a developed country like the UAE is different, and the benefit may be to become the most technologically and economically dynamic country in the Middle East. But the downside is obvious, more money, time and patience need to be invested...... "Zhou Shi."
Digitalization is an irreversible trend for the whole world, unless the end of the earth, or the opening of a different dimensional space, the discovery of high-latitude energy (aura) and other fantasy fairy factors that can be used by humans, otherwise the realization of the digital earth is only a matter of time. Low latency, artificial intelligence, and supercomputers in the 5G era will all play an increasingly important role in this era. That's why the country has listed artificial intelligence as a core key project!
If AI is good enough to do a good job in the "planned economy" of the new era, then there is no doubt that the countries that are the first to go digital will have a huge first-mover advantage. Unfortunately, this is not possible, technological progress takes time, but the development of human countries will be one step ahead.
If the UAE has ambitions, then Zhou Shi is their best choice, not only because India chose Zhou Shi, but also because his advantages in the field of artificial intelligence and big data are too obvious. That is, Apple, Google, Microsoft and Intel, Qualcomm can join forces to surpass him steadily. But what does that mean for the UAE? And it's more convenient to convince a few supergiants with a strong background and to convince an invisible supergiant?
As the conversation deepened, Zhou Shi's strength was shown step by step in front of the UAE tyrants, and then the conversation went deeper...... Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "The Rebirth of the Post-80s Legend Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
