On November 16, the LeaTech Global CTO Leadership Summit, carefully created by 51CTO’s CTO training camp brand, kicked off at the JW Marriott Hotel in Beijing. As a high-end social circle for technical managers such as CTOs, technical VPs, technical directors, this summit gathered alumni of CTO training camps, CTO mentors, and senior technical managers in the industry. More than 600 guests at the conference fully exchanged views and thoughts on wonderful topics such as technical vision, technical leadership, technical team organization and construction. With the help of the offline platform of the summit, technical managers actively explored more business possibilities and opened up Management vision, so that own leadership to a new level.
At the beginning of the conference, Shao Yan, the initiator of the CTO training camp, delivered a speech. She tells everyone that this year is the fourth year of the CTO training camp. In the past four years, she and her team have been doing "small and beautiful" things with the spirit of craftsmanship, that is, carefully polishing the product of the CTO training camp. The reason why we say "small" is because of the 20 million technical user groups of 51CTO, CTO is a niche group, and "beauty" is because the CTO training camp has been working hard to help technical managers have business management thinking, let Everyone realizes that there is more business vision beyond technology. "Technical managers should step out and see more of the world above technology."
Shao Yan, the initiator of CTO training camp, delivered a speech and released the 2019 CTO development report
Shao Yan officially released the "2019 CTO Development Report" at the scene. She focused on two parts of the report, the changes in the macro environment of the CTO market and the promotion of CTO responsibilities. She pointed out that from 2017 to 2019, the CTO market gap is shrinking. Correspondingly, the company’s responsibilities for CTOs are becoming "stringent", among which "transition from deliverable product R&D to business" and "promoting the growth of corporate revenue" have been included in the CTO's responsibilities. range. "Enterprises hope that CTOs can bring changes to the company from four dimensions: one is to promote the growth of corporate revenue and profits, the other is to influence the company's business model, the third is to help companies set budgets, and the fourth is to improve business processes and optimize costs. "
Shao Yan believes that China's economy has entered the second half, and the market dividend drive is shifting to "company management driven" and "technological innovation driven". CTOs may become a big beneficiary of the internal decision makers of the enterprise. In the past, traditional CTOs only valued the realization of technology, while new CTOs paid more attention to commercial value, and actively realized the support of business model, business growth, and lean operation. After undergoing digital transformation, some traditional CTOs have turned to CIOs, focusing on "digital" construction, such as single-to-B mode support, internal communication and collaboration, project delivery management, and information security are the focus of their responsibilities.
Zhang Zhiyong, Founding Partner of Yuanhang Capital: World Trends in the Eyes of Investors

The combination of supply-side and industrial upgrading, and the combination of demand-side and consumption upgrading, will generate vigorous investment opportunities."
Under the new economic cycle, China has ushered in a cyclical resonance of a new round of industrial transformation in the world and China's economic transformation and development. How to achieve advanced industrial structure through transformation and upgrading has become the core task of my country's economic development and industrial policy. Zhang Zhiyong said that in order to promote the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure, my country should focus on the development of strategic emerging industries in the adjustment of industrial structure.
At the end of the speech, Zhang Zhiyong shared Yuanhang Capital’s insights on the global economy. Yuanhang believes that the current good opportunities for China’s economy come from technology-driven consumption upgrades and industrial restructuring. Strategic emerging industries, modern service industries, and modern manufacturing will become supportive of China. New industries that continue to grow. In 2019, the threshold for entrepreneurship will increase significantly. This will be a good era for securitization of technology capital. "From the perspective of industry trends and China's economic structure adjustment, Yuanhang Capital believes that the energy-saving and environmental protection industry, new energy vehicles and intelligent driving, new materials industry, new generation information technology, biomedical industry, and high-end equipment industry will all be the next decade. Focus on entrepreneurship and investment."
Luo Chao, Vice President of GGV Capital: The DNA of Technology Entrepreneurs
Luo Chao, the vice president of GGV Capital, shared his thoughts at the beginning. Technologists need to have the two potentials of "technique" and "dao". The so-called skill requires one skill to be able to strategize and win a thousand miles; while Tao needs to keep in mind its original intention at all times, and be both rational and persistent. "I have an experience. People who really have command and leadership are not to wave their swords and charge into battle by themselves, but to persuade a thousand companions to rise to a higher level and move forward with swords just like themselves." Luo Chao said, many CTOs. Nowadays, we need to have both internal and external capabilities: internally, we need to have engineering thinking, be able to mobilize and coordinate; externally, we need to sort out customer needs, distinguish how technology should optimize application scenarios, and have the ability to land.
Although technology entrepreneurs all want their companies to be successful, the environment for successful cases in the past has long been different. Luo Chao cites the skills that a technical entrepreneur needs on the road from bronze to king: First, technical entrepreneurs can use technology as a powerful means of competition in the initial stage; second, they should have product thinking and develop both. Realize customer value creation based on efficiency and engineering capabilities; then, technology entrepreneurs must have commercial thinking, integrating key resources from sales, marketing, and operations; finally, at the king stage, technology entrepreneurs need to strengthen their own Management ability, form leadership from strategic grasp and internal control, and even be familiar with capital operation.
Tan Mingzhou, Partner of Yuanwang Think Tank: Technological Innovator-The Road Few People Take
Tan Mingzhou, a partner of Yuanwang Think Tank, posed a question at the beginning: Is entrepreneurship all about fighting for money? In fact, it is not all. Over the years, operating system business giants such as Microsoft and Apple have firmly occupied the dominance of global business. This also proves from the side that technological innovation has been pulling and driving the next wave of economic trends.
"What value can be created with the spirit of technical geeks? That is to create applications that truly meet the needs of users and transform the entire society." Tan Mingzhou shared his thoughts on the field of artificial intelligence at the scene. The future is likely to be imperfect. Development on the road of information game. He cited for example that it is not uncommon for AlphaGo to win in Go, but if it is the representative of the imperfect information game "playing mahjong," AlphaGo will encounter four times the difficulty of Go, and future research in this area may become more mainstream. "In the future, all industries will be empowered by AI, just as all industries are now connected to the Internet."

He introduced that the Internet on 5G will have three changes: First, the cloud is the traffic portal, second, the end-side intelligence will shift to the cloud-side intelligence, and third, the All Cloud development model will appear in the future. "5G has undoubtedly become a new engine for upgrading thousands of industries, but it is still in the early stages. However, it is foreseeable that the killer applications in the 5G era will be generated based on the end-pipe-cloud collaboration." He emphasized that cloud + AI + 5G needs to be diversified. Service architecture.
Nie Song mentioned, for example, that 5G+Cloud Games can make PC/host 3A masterpieces easy to play without any barriers, while 5G+cloud rendering can allow a large number of players to immerse themselves in the 3A masterpieces with high quality and high-quality sound. Huawei's current cloud mobile phone service is a software-defined mobile phone based on the ARM server, which is widely used in mobile APP/OS automated testing and public opinion analysis. For partners, on the Huawei platform, cloud-based resource management can be realized at low cost, mobile phones can be defined through high availability of software, and high compatibility to achieve smooth service access.
