Chapter 66

Of course, Jiang Cheng has never heard of these two terms, in fact, "Industry 40" is the word in a report submitted to the German government by the German Federation of Industry and Economic Research in 2012.

The so-called "Made in China 2025" is the product of the competition between China and Germany for the right to speak in the field of intelligent manufacturing and the Internet of Things in the future.

All in all, in this world, neither Industry 40 nor Made in China 2025 has yet to come out. Without this kind of strategic-level ideological guidance, in fact, it is not surprising that Jiang Cheng's sight just ends here.

Only Hou Shida, who has experienced the era of the overwhelming development of intelligence and the Internet of Things in the next ten years, knows what visual recognition technology means.

"If I may, allow me to make some popular science statements." Hou Shida gestured to Jiang Cheng and Feng Wuji with his eyes, and when he saw that they both sat up straight seriously, listening to their words attentively, he couldn't help but nod his head in his heart.

It can be seen that it is indeed no coincidence that Fengxin Company has been able to achieve today's results. Jiang Cheng and Feng Wuji were just trapped in the lack of knowledge of the times, so they made a careless mistake.

If Jiang Cheng knew what Hou Shida was thinking, he would definitely yell out. That's a market of hundreds of millions of dollars, and how far should he exaggerate this technology to be careless?

"Let me start by talking about the two routes of computer technology development, which started from the two founders of computer science, Charles Babbage and Van Nevabush."

"Charles Babbage, who invented the difference machine?" It was Feng Wuji who spoke, and he was more sensitive in terms of technology.

At the age of 24, Charles Babbage was elected to the Royal Society. The principle of the analysis machine, which he invented in 1834, envisaged the possibility of performing any calculation based on instructions on a punch card where the data was stored, and envisaged most of the other characteristics of modern computers. In 1855, in a company in Stockholm, someone built the first mechanical computer based on his ideas.

"Yes, it's Charles Babbage." Hou Shida nodded, confirming Feng Wuji's guess: "Starting with him, humans have been committed to making computing automated. On this path, we developed the Turing machine, developed Eniaq, 8048, Deep Blue and even Nokia phones. For the manufacturing industry, computing automation brings CNC machine tools. ”

"What about Van Neva Bush? If memory serves, he was the organization and leader of the Manhattan Project in the United States, right? Jiang Cheng looked at Hou Shida with some doubts.

"He is also the originator of the concept of hypertext and hyperlinks, and is a prophet of Internet technology." "From his path, technologies such as the Internet, relational databases, and now social networks have developed," Hou added. The Internet continues to evolve, and the next foreseeable future is the era of the Internet of Things. ”

"And the integration of these two electronic technology paths is the concept of Industry 40, that is, the fourth industrial revolution based on information technology and CNC manufacturing technology."

"The Fourth Industrial Revolution?"

Hou Shida's proposition was a bit too big, which made Jiang Cheng and Feng Wuji unconsciously show suspicious eyes.

But he doesn't care, the name is not his name, but a standard that both Germany and China will agree on in the future.

"We know that the first industrial revolution was based on steam power, the second was the popularization of electric motors, and the third was the automation revolution of electronic information. The fourth industrial revolution is the era of full automation based on the Internet of Things and intelligent software technology. ”

"With image differentiation technology, intelligent manufacturing is possible. There is a view in history that the entire history of mankind has always taken the form of a spiral. The large-scale industry and mass manufacturing mode of the industrial revolution reached its peak in the second and third industrial revolution stages, and the popularization of automation brought the possibility of flexible manufacturing and precision manufacturing. Industrialized and mass production can no longer be the same, providing a technical basis for small-batch personalized products. ”

The intelligent manufacturing technology of the fourth industrial revolution has blurred the concept of production lines in industrial manufacturing. In the past, a production line could often only produce one product, or the same kind of product. Fengxin is an embedded system, and Mr. Jiang should be able to imagine that if a factory is composed of robotic arms and various robots, using additive printing or laser technology to process and produce, will this production line be extremely rich in products? And if this factory connects directly with the end user through the Internet and accepts the user's personalized design instructions, how big will it be? ”

Hou Shida's gentle greeting made Jiang Cheng completely unable to maintain his image as a successful person, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes and gasp and stand up.

"No, that's right, it's an industrial revolution!"

Hou Shida's words were reasonable, and this sense of the future within reach made Jiang Cheng tremble a little with excitement. It's not science fiction or a futuristic concept to fool people.

What Hou Shida describes is a kind of future that is close at hand and can be reached with a little effort. And this future is very much in line with the trend of world development, with the gradual development of the Internet, the future of the Internet of Things is not far away. Once even the production equipment can be remotely networked, coupled with the gradually developed logistics system, it is basically equivalent to the death sentence of the middleman.

But whether the middleman is dead or alive, what do they do in Jiangcheng? Isn't the most important thing about the amount of robotic arm used? Once this idea is successful, robotic arms capable of image recognition will be used in large numbers. At that time, it will not be a matter of hundreds of millions of dollars a year, it will be a big project of tens of billions or hundreds of billions of dollars! Enough to make the next Nokia, Ericsson, Sony and Motorola, the next Microsoft, IBM, the next General Electric, the next Siemens, the next ......

Jiang Cheng's head was completely burned, and he stood there stunned, thinking about what a big deal this was at first. But as the number grew, he couldn't think about it anymore. Once Industry 40 is implemented, the company that has mastered this system will have mastered the whole society!

"So, I want to have a cooperation with Mr. Jiang. It's not just a Toyota project, but a blueprint for the future, I don't know what you think? ”

Jiang Cheng swallowed heavily, Hou Shida Xing's this is an upright conspiracy, what can he do?

For a moment, he even wanted to kidnap Hou Shida and force him to hand over the image recognition technology. But then I was carried away and laughed, the near future is still the future after all. Even if I get the image recognition technology, I am still far from completing the entire blueprint of Industry 40.

Compared with a mere technology, Hou Shida, who has deep potential in intelligent technology, is a real treasure.

Only he could have realized such a blueprint, after all, the whole plan was conceived by him. Now that he can develop the technology of image recognition, it will be possible to realize the technology that other industries need in the 40's.

Any idea of harming Hou Shida is tantamount to killing chickens and taking eggs. What's more, he seems to be very interested in cooperating with Hyacinth now, and there is no need to use dangerous means.

Jiang Cheng is a legitimate businessman, although 10,000 percent of the profit is enough for him to take risks, but he is not more advantageous than others in such things as breaking the law and committing crimes. What's more, as a successful person, sparing your life is always the first choice.

It was just a moment of thought, and Jiang Cheng had already made up his mind. If he has developed Fengxin to the current level, it can be regarded as the first stage of his career. Then the world depicted by Industry 40 is the whole meaning of the rest of his life.

If a person can accomplish such a thing in his life, he will already die without regrets, right?

Jiang Cheng shook Hou Shida's hands hard and said solemnly: "From now on, Fengxin and Mr. Hou are the closest strategic partners!" ”

"So, I have one thing I want to ask Mr. Jiang for help now. It's about the father of a friend of mine, who is the ...... of our Dagang China Merchants Bureau."

Led by Izumita, Mamito Abe and Kentaro Wakabayashi came to the headquarters of Kahyacin. They were received by an assistant from Jiang Cheng, and after being cold in the reception room for half an hour, Jiang Cheng, who was smiling, was late.

"Izumita-san is really sorry, there was a delay in a meeting just now, and I'm really sorry to keep the three of you waiting for a long time!"

Izumita's side was still Ding Translator, and after he translated Jiang Cheng's words, the three Japanese looked at each other. No matter how you look at Jiang Cheng, who is full of spring breeze, it doesn't look like he has a trace of guilt, but it feels like he has taken the time to see him.

Nima, my dignified head of Toyota's technical department, no one who has a fortune of tens of billions of dollars in his hands has said that he is busy, and you dare to say that you are a person worth more than a billion yuan?

Abe Marie grinned reluctantly, showing an expression that didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and said: "Where, we are bothered by taking the liberty of visiting, and we invite Jiangcheng Sang Haihan." ”

"Come on, please take a seat, I wonder what happened to Mr. Izumita and the two of you who came today?"

"Yes, Toyota is very interested in the technology you are using in the robotic arm optimization project, and on behalf of Toyota's technical department, I hope to have more in-depth cooperation with Fengxin."

"Oh, that's it." Jiang Cheng was surprised to put on a look of not being very interested, and said slowly: "I'm afraid Mr. Abe is not here at the right time, our key technical personnel, I'm afraid they haven't been in the mood to work recently." Well, you know our Chinese is very human, and something happened to him in the house......"

ps: Say a little off-topic, why did the prime minister blatantly clamored recently to speed up the three major operations and reduce network fees, and the traffic was not cleared? Why do you want to push the concept of the Internet? In the final analysis, the only thing that can compete with China in manufacturing is the high-end manufacturing industry that Germany has mastered. In the competition between Industry 40 and Made in China 2025, in order to make China's Internet of Things standard become the world standard, the tariff level of the three major operators is already a resistance to the popularization of the Internet of Things in China, so it is necessary to reduce the network fee. The only way to make the prime minister openly come forward to cut the three major operators and exert such pressure is only for a more important strategic layout. Whether China will eat meat or drink soup in 50 years depends on whether Made in China 2025 can survive Industry 40.

The so-called embodiment of Industry 40 among Internet users is now somewhat similar to the crowdfunding model. The concept of crowdfunding is very detailed to the market, and in the era after Industry 40, this refinement will reach the extreme, where everyone can design their own products and be able to put forward personalized needs. This requires not only the development of Internet of Things technology, but also the development of expert systems, artificial intelligence-assisted design, intelligent networking, big data, cloud services and so on. So that CNC machine tools, industrial robots can make different processing operations for each product.

Maybe Jobs doesn't need to be Apple's CEO to lead a design revolution. Smart factories require minimal maintenance to function, and most people will be designers of all kinds. In countries with perfect copyright protection, the more developed the design industry is. A stunning design can make a small person a billionaire overnight. But the premise of all this is the importance of copyright protection. Without the importance of copyright protection, design can only be unprofitable and allowed to be plundered, and in the end, everyone loses this long-distance race for the future.

If "Electronic Rebirth" is written about the past 20 years, then this book, I am going to write about the next 20 years.

Well, it's too much, I can't say it anymore, and if I say it again, it's a spoiler
