2017 is quite meaningful both for Oat Cloud and for me personally. On the occasion of New Year's Day, I would like to summarize my thoughts, feelings and experiences this year, and make a year-end thought report with my friends who pay attention to us.
The most important event in our country this year is the "Nineteenth National Congress" held in Beijing in October. This is not only a national event, but also concerns the fate of every Chinese; it opens a new era and will have a major impact on all aspects of national life in the future.
In the report of the "19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China", the content related to science and technology and the Internet was mentioned eight times, fully emphasizing the indispensable position of science and technology in China's economic development, endorsing the name of science and technology, and making a contribution to the future "science and technology dividend". Official confirmation - science and technology are the primary productive forces!
Science and technology are primary productive forces
As a young generation of technology entrepreneurs in China, I have a deep understanding of this: since the reform and opening up, many business owners in the manufacturing industry rely on the golden business rule of "80% of the quality of top products, but only 20% of the price" in the market. Invincible; but in fact, the "80% quality" relies on advanced production lines imported from abroad, while the "20% price" relies on the demographic dividend. With the advancement of science and technology and the adjustment of the world structure, this golden rule will soon become history, and we will soon enter the era of "smart +" economy.
China's demographic dividend is disappearing
On the one hand, China's demographic dividend is disappearing; on the other hand, with the rapid upgrade of big data, artificial intelligence and robotics, machines will have wisdom in the future. Lean and efficient production lines are no longer the only criterion for judging whether an enterprise can lead. The "wisdom +" technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence are fatal to the "dimension reduction" of the old production model.
Big data and artificial intelligence will impact traditional production models
At this moment, if managers remain wait-and-see or even indifferent to the development and application of science and technology, they are destined to have a very difficult time in the future.
I have grown up in a manufacturing environment since I was a child, and I feel the "dilemma" of managers of Chinese manufacturing companies. I sincerely hope to do my part to change this situation. The reason why I resolutely returned from the UK to start a business is to use my years of learning and accumulation abroad to repay my hometown and contribute to the industrial upgrading of Chinese enterprises and their continued competitiveness.
The "dilemma" of traditional Chinese manufacturing
There are bumps in the road from ideal to reality, but what is more valuable is that I have gained real insights into the Chinese market and users, as well as my own growth and maturity. Having been in business for many years, now I can say with confidence - what I do has value!
This is the most important gain for me!
Let me share some of my thoughts and plans for 2018 to share with you.
Data security is a rigid need in the "smart +" economic era
Friends who follow me know that Oat Cloud is a cloud product that focuses on "security" . Its mission is to protect the data assets of government and enterprises and to be a safe for data assets.
Oat Cloud is a cloud product that focuses on "security"
In the first half of this year, I visited many customers and preached to them the importance of "building data security awareness", but many customers are not very urgent about their data security needs, and their attitude can be summed up as "important but not urgent" .
But everything happened very quickly. The data security crisis began to break out around the world in May this year: first, the "WannaCry ransomware" swept the world and people were caught off guard, followed by a number of vicious information leakage incidents in China, and now we are separated by three or five You can see negative reports about online data security.
Wannacry virus sweeps the world
On June 1, 2017, the Cybersecurity Law of the People's Republic of China was officially implemented, and various judicial interpretations and supporting policies were gradually implemented. This marks the era of "smart +" economy, and the issue of data security has been put on the national agenda.
Trends do not depend on human will. As followers and graspers of technological trends, Oat Cloud and I will continue to keep up with technological development, stay ahead of the times, and provide you with cutting-edge insights and management ideas.
Do not forget the original intention and insist on creating products based on "safety"
"Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Theory" believes that "physiological needs" and "safety needs" belong to the bottom needs; while "social needs", "respect needs" and "self-actualization needs" are realized on the basis of the first two . But the problem is that when many technology companies design products, they often ignore low-level requirements in order to pursue high-level requirements.
"Security" is the foundation of the oat cloud
In order to make users feel "fun and easy to use", some companies sacrifice basic needs such as data security protection barriers, and wait until the loss is caused before regretting it.
My original intention in founding Oat Cloud is to protect the security of government and enterprise data assets, so I have always insisted on creating Oat Cloud products in a security-oriented manner.
For example, for the collaborative operation and value mining of data assets, I have always adhered to the premise of not affecting the data security structure, to meet and adapt to the needs of customers in the real office environment as much as possible. In the product design of Oatmeal Cloud, I will never allow any needs and usage scenarios created in the name of "convenience", because this is not only irresponsible to customers, but more likely to bury hidden dangers for data security.
Does not affect the data security structure is the premise
Just this year, Oat Cloud has been affirmed by BYD Group, the largest private cloud customer since its inception. Not only are more than 70,000 employees of the entire group using Oat Cloud, but our services have been implemented into BYD's core business; , including a number of data security projects such as the Highway Science Research Institute of the Ministry of Transport, Zhongshan Education Information Center, etc., and it is specified to use oat cloud products.
More than 70,000 employees of BYD Group use it across the board
These are the rewards for me and the team to stick to our original intentions, and use product word of mouth to accumulate the brand of Oat Cloud.
Breaking through the comfort zone, thirty-two issues of "He Yang Kai Lecture", always on the road
"Always online, direct connection with users" is a feature of the Internet age; expressing ideas, listening to opinions and suggestions, and rapidly iterating and making progress through online social platforms are what a technology company manager must be able to do.
My original intention of doing Oat Cloud is to help enterprises to better transform and upgrade in the era of "wisdom +"; and the original intention of "He Yang Kai Lecture" is to use the most efficient way to disseminate relevant technologies, share industry cases, and let government enterprises Managers saw the trends I saw for the first time, constantly adjusted their thinking, and provided ideological nutrients for transformation and upgrading.
Every piece of "He Yang Kai Lecture" is written by me. As a technical CEO, writing "He Yang Kai Lecture" means that I have to break out of my comfort zone.
I think that breaking through the comfort zone is actually a kind of self-adaptation and learning ability, which can turn a thing that you are not good at, and become handy through continuous learning and training. Here, perseverance is king, and perseverance is victory. This is the quality that all entrepreneurs, including me, should constantly hone.
From the beginning of April 2017 to the present, I have insisted on writing thirty-two issues of "He Yang Kai Lectures", and I am still in the process of self-breakthrough and learning. In the coming 2018, I will continue to work hard, continue to write, and insist on sharing my knowledge and ideas with you.
The new year is coming, here I wish you a happy new year in advance, keep your "original intention", and walk smoothly on the trend of the road!
