Chapter 1337
Thousands of people in the audience, 99 of whom were older and more senior than him, looked at the young man walking towards the stage and felt a lot of emotions in their hearts, the most they could say was that the younger generation was fearsome!
Many of the tens of thousands of people present thought it was luck that the Future Technology Group had reached this point, but none of the bigwigs or giants sitting in the front row thought it was a coincidence, and they definitely did not take his youth lightly.
At the moment, however, as the applause fell, the attendees, as well as the bigwigs present, all showed great interest, clearly interested in what this young great Li Linfei would have to say in his opening speech today.
After all, it's rare for him to attend such a large high-end forum and summit, as such an accomplished business giant as Li Linfei usually appears in various forums, while he rarely attends any events, which is a strange alternative.
At this moment, under the gaze of the cameras and thousands of gazes, Li Linfei walked onto the stage, although it was the first time he had attended such a grand high-end forum and was the opening speaker.
Although it was his first time attending and being the opening speaker at such a prestigious forum, Li Linfei was extremely certain that talent was something that could not be said.
The applause had fallen, Li Linfei on stage facing the whole audience, said: "Good morning everyone, it is an honour to be able to participate in this conference and have such a rare and valuable opportunity to exchange with the industry's seniors, the organisers asked me to give the opening speech especially surprised, originally I was in the mindset of coming to see the style of former entrepreneurs up close."
At such a conference venue, Li Linfei's tone still seemed humble and as a junior showed enough respect to the previous entrepreneurs that he could not pick any fault.
At this point, he looked at the manuscript in his hands, and the crowd sat waiting for him to make a tall statement, and after a moment of silence on stage, he rolled the manuscript straight up and held it, pacing around the stage, and after a few moments played with the manuscript and spoke off script, "When it comes to artificial intelligence, the world is particularly concerned about the future of manufacturing and manufacturing re-employment driven by artificial intelligence."
On the floor, Li Bingling's eyes glared at the guest seats.
The bigwigs and giants on the floor were also interested, Future Technology is a technology company, everyone thought he wanted to talk about the future high-tech outlook or something like that, but they didn't expect to talk about the manufacturing industry.
The crowd couldn't help but think: Mr Ma's story is about new manufacturing, new intelligent manufacturing, what new story will he tell in the manufacturing industry? This is a bit interesting.
For those who study the Future Technology Group will find that this high-tech company has technology, there is no industrial manufacturing to speak of, because its manufacturing is all outsourced, I did not expect the founder to talk about manufacturing instead of technology.
Young people nowadays are getting more and more floating ah, in the opinion of the bigwigs, this is more interesting than him talking about technology.
At the same time, Li Linfei on stage finished organising his language in his mind and did the final combing, saying, "Since the reform and opening up, our country has shone in the field of industrial manufacturing with the advantage of labour-intensive, while with the continuous development of the economy, the cost of labour in China has been rising and the advantage of industrial manufacturing is not there."
"Looking at the development trend of global manufacturing industry, under the influence of the Internet and other emerging technologies, it seems that intelligence has become the main driving direction for the transformation of manufacturing industry nowadays, so will intelligent industrial manufacturing have an impact on traditional industrial manufacturing? Will the globalisation of the manufacturing industry return to the local community? And where is the future direction of manufacturing development?"
"These are actually the questions that I would like to take this opportunity to share with you all on this platform." Li Linfei looked around the room, while the script in his hand was already rolled up into a long paper stick.
And then picked up: "In fact, on this topic of manufacturing, at the moment in various countries around the world is a rather hot topic, Germany was the first to put forward the concept of Industry 4.0, the old United States put forward the concept of advanced manufacturing, as well as the concept of 2025 industrial manufacturing in China, as well as the Japanese manufacturing industry and so on."
"So one of the more interesting phenomena we will find is that various countries are re-examining the position of manufacturing in the national economy, which is now generally recognised."
"An advanced financial sector is not enough to support and secure the position of a large and powerful country, and if a large and powerful country lacks manufacturing, the foundation of the country will be very shaky, so it is believed that manufacturing should be revived to achieve the goal of strengthening the country and enriching the people."
"But the question is, what kind of manufacturing industry, in the end, is the direction of future development?"
"My personal view is that it is still necessary to look at this issue from a review of history. Throughout history, a general rule of manufacturing, its products, the middle of the final product of manufacturing."
"The knowledge content it is enriched with, is showing an exponential rise, the amount is getting bigger and bigger, from the manufacture of pottery to the manufacture of silk to the advent of the industrial age, and the present day, this law will present itself more clearly."
"Take for example the smartphone, which is really nothing more than a bunch of metal, plus some plastic and some silica clay."
"If you calculate it by the pound, the cost is only a few dollars, because these materials are not worth anything."
"But why does it sell for thousands of dollars a unit on the market? Where does that thousandfold value in between come from?"
"The answer, of course, comes from all the knowledge of manufacturing that is enriched in this product, the smartphone, which people now think is not that difficult to build."
"Well, if we imagine if you were knocked back a thousand years, or if you travelled back a thousand years, and you were asked to build the phone all over again."
"That's when you know what a huge amount of knowledge is needed in between."
"First of all, you need to get into metallurgy to smelt out the iron and get the metal out; you need to develop the chemical industry to get the plastic out; you need to develop the semiconductor industry."
"Get the semiconductor chips out, you also need to develop the telecommunications industry, develop the internet, develop e-commerce, develop social, and also do a lot of scientific research, mathematics, chemistry and other knowledge, and of course you need to develop the electricity and energy industries and so on ......"
"This is the time when it becomes clear that such a huge amount of knowledge is condensed into a mobile phone that it would be absolutely impossible to digest and absorb by one person in a small group."
Chapter 1338
"By this time you will clearly see that the amount of knowledge contained in a mobile phone is far greater than any product in ancient history before this; ceramics and silk are no longer of the same order of magnitude as him."
"So it's a general law of evolution."
"In fact, whether it's Made in China 2025, or German Industry 4.0, or American advanced manufacturing, their entire mindset boils down to doing one thing."
"Using less energy and less material to produce products with more information content or knowledge content out, this is the total one basic law of evolution."
"On this basis, we can then further explore the position of industrial manufacturing in our modern society today."
"In my personal opinion, the future development trend of the manufacturing industry is that it should become more and more powerful, but at the same time smaller and smaller."
"What does that mean?"
"It is said that it is powerful because it can use more kinds of raw materials and have greater productivity, and at the same time there are more diversified options, and it can even be tailored and personalised, so the manufacturing industry is becoming more and more powerful."
"The manufacturing industry of the past was a test of the ability to produce the same thing, the manufacturing industry of the future is a test of the ability to produce something different, the assembly line factory of the past could produce thousands of the same product in five minutes and that was powerful."
"And the manufacturing factory of the future to produce thousands of different products in five minutes is even more powerful."
"And to say that the manufacturing of the future is getting smaller is that it will be a smaller and smaller part of the total national economy, the number of people employed in the manufacturing sector will continue to decline, and in that sense it is getting smaller and smaller."
"Why? Because when we refer to manufacturing prospering, we tend to think of manufacturing getting bigger and bigger, producing more and more value, and at the same time having a larger and larger share of the national economy, and employing more and more workers as well, as it should."
"So some people shout about using manufacturing to return to re-employment, and that's what they call thriving."
"I think that's going off the rails! My personal view is the exact opposite, for the reason that as manufacturing continues to move forward, you find that manufacturing is a net loser of knowledge, or a net outflow, and that knowledge is constantly being transferred out of manufacturing."
"And also to give you an example, now that nanotechnology has come along and manufacturing has a new raw material to work with, it can make better quality, better performing products, then this new material, having been introduced to manufacturing, we find that the amount of knowledge in manufacturing has been lost."
"Why?"
"Because nanotechnology it was probably first worked out in research institutes, in universities, not in factories."
"And the person working in the manufacturing industry does not have the need or the possibility to do research from basic materials science, publish a lot of papers, do a lot of experiments to verify its concept, and finally come up with such a technology."
"The normal rule of thumb it is usually to procure it and use it straight away, so in the process it becomes clear that for him the new knowledge creation is generated in a different industry and is already outside the manufacturing system."
"And for the manufacturing industry itself, when he replaces the old steel or other materials with nanomaterials, the amount of knowledge it used to know is lost and obsolete because it's useless, it's not competitive."
"This is when it becomes clear that the introduction of emerging technologies into industrial manufacturing is, from a knowledge perspective, a shrinking amount of knowledge in manufacturing and an expanding amount of knowledge in other emerging industries."
"This is also a necessary pattern because society is progressive and this inevitably leads to a further division of labour."
"We are referring to such and such technological innovation, which must fundamentally increase the total amount of information in the middle of all of the raw materials to the consumer, which is always increasing, and this core logic must be repeated."
"But it will be found that in this increase, more and more of the share starts to belong to the tertiary sector such as services, or other emerging sectors that complement manufacturing, so we see the tertiary sector dominating the national economy in developed countries."
"And the market share of industrial manufacturing itself is shrinking, for example, an engineering technician, a teacher in traditional industry, has a basic skill that he has to draw drawings."
"The previous generation of skilled workers should have drawn when they were learning mechanical drawing, then you have to have a drawing board and have to draw mechanical parts or even the whole machine in perspective."
"This stuff is quite time consuming and laborious, that's where the amount of knowledge comes in, that's where the information and the important skills you have are in the hands of who? The skilled workers, the factories."
"But with the rise of computers, cad came along, that is, computer-aided design systems came along, and electronic industrial software sprang up."
"You then find that the emerging industries and the new technologies have transferred all the knowledge that a large number of these traditional technicians had, and these technicians have naturally lost their jobs."
"And the knowledge that was transferred away became computer standard auxiliary drawing, all this basic module, you just need to buy the software company, such as Microsoft's product, call it and you're done, so Microsoft, Oracle and other software companies should have smashed the rice bowls of many technical engineers."
At this moment, Li Linfei was talking eloquently on the stage, while the people in the audience were actually listening quite intently, even those bigwigs and giants were nodding their heads from time to time.
It is no wonder that more than 100,000 people came to this conference to look up to it. It is indisputable that one can absorb a lot of essence knowledge by participating in this kind of high-end forum exchange conference, and the smart ones absorb a bit more.
And as Li Linfei was speaking, the guide for the live broadcast of the conference, gave the main camera to the attendee, Bill Gates, who had a translator with him, and couldn't help but smile.
Although Gates is no longer in charge of Microsoft, his shares in Microsoft are under 5, but everyone knows the spiritual leader of Microsoft technology his name is Bill Gates.
Li Linfei on the stage continued: so in the process of production design, like digital modelling, simulation, etc., to a great extent, this engineering technology and its original reserve of knowledge eventually transferred to the software industry as a new industry."
