After 20 years of development, the domestic Internet has completed two stages of missions in terms of general direction.

Phase 1:Informatization of information.For example, portal websites, represented by Yahoo and Sina, revolve around making it easier for users to obtain information and information. According to the depth, concentration, and interaction methods of information, various forms such as Baidu, Douban, Weibo, and Zhihu have grown up, but information is still the core carrier.

Phase 2:Internetization around sales, social networking, and surrounding core industries.The core representatives are the Alibaba economy and the Tencent economy. Ali's economy closely revolves around commerce, from B2B e-commerce information flow, to C2C, B2C, and then incubates services such as finance, logistics, and cloud, but Ali's parent body is still e-commerce.

Over the years, Ali has invested a lot in traditional industries, especially in industrialized business scenarios, such as stores, home building materials, local life, travel, wine, automobiles, education, entertainment, health, etc. Industrialization is not only the integration from online to offline, but also the starting point for the Internetization of traditional industries.

The ecology represented by Tencent closely revolves around the communication and entertainment platforms of social networking, games, and entertainment.

The territory constructed by Ali has changed from allowing the public to trade @ Ali, to work @ Ali, and then to live @ Ali.

The version built by Tencent is more like communicate@腾讯, to live@腾讯.

After 20 years of development of the domestic Internet, both 2B and 2C have completed a round of Internet science education. The public has a very high awareness and acceptance of the Internet. Faster speed is advancing on the road of the Internet, but the road ahead will be very slow and deep.

For industrial development, in the past few years, the Internet has only solved superficial sales problems, such as B2B, B2C, C2C, and S2B2C. The core is around sales, but the operation and development of the industry are very complicated, such as:

❖ 1) Sales are divided into superficial sales and deep sales.

Superficial sales, such as opening a store on Tmall, JD.com, and Pinduoduo to sell goods, only care about the revenue of a single store.

In-depth sales such as the integration of Tmall, JD.com, Pinduoduo and other online global sales, how to achieve online/offline integration & integration, how to catalyze the chemical reactions of various sales venues, and even strategically use consumer demand to promote the industry progress. Sales is no longer just about selling goods, but also needs to intelligently link consumers and industry supply.

❖ 2) In addition to sales, industrial development relies on production, procurement, and channels, which are the deep water areas of the industry.The efficiency improvement and cost reduction of each link in the deep water area requires a lot of infrastructure construction and involves sensitive interest distribution. But if the Industrial Internet (including systematization, digitization, and intelligence) can really be realized, it will be a new era for the industry.

It is conceivable that if the system is powerful enough to predict the production capacity of chickens and ducks on the farm in the future, it can also predict the needs of consumers, and then intelligently link supply and demand, and then organize production, procurement, channels, and transportation in a way that maximizes economic benefits. This will minimize the cost of enterprises on the basis of satisfying consumers' demands, not only reduce waste, but even create new people, goods, and places to meet supply and consumption. This is new technology and new retail. Following the changes in business forms, new finance will inevitably be born, and finance will always keep up with business and serve business.

In the next 10 years, the Internet of Things and the Industrial Internet will be important directions for the evolution of the Internet, and the Internet has entered the deep water area. With the advent of population aging, society also needs the development of a large number of intelligent industries.

The value of the Internet of Things not only links things and people, but also realizes systematization, dataization, and intelligence on the basis of links, thereby bringing about changes in the entire industrial chain. Systematization is the foundation of digitization, and digitization is the foundation of intelligence. The Internet of Things is the underlying construction of systematization and dataization, and it is also the result of systemization and dataization.

For example, in the future, the air conditioner and kitchen appliances in the home will be intelligent. You can intelligently operate the air conditioner and kitchen when you are at work. When you get home from work, even in the severe winter, you will be greeted by a warm house and the delicious food in the kitchen will be ready. , When you get home, you only need to be with your family. You no longer need to wait for the air conditioner to heat up, and you don’t need to spend time cooking. Everyone can maximize the value of time.

Another example is that the equipment outside the shopping mall building will automatically collect solar energy, and then automatically adjust the lighting according to the flow of people and time, to meet the electricity demand of the shops in the shopping mall in a way that maximizes economic benefits, and supply the excess electricity to surrounding residents.

The Internet of Things is a kind of infrastructure, which will pervasively immerse in all aspects of the industry and penetrate into our work and life.

The Industrial Internet needs to be specific to industries, such as automobiles, energy, logistics, and medical care. In the industrial Internet, the Internet is a kind of thought and infrastructure construction. Through the Internet, the efficiency of industrial collaboration (including the entire industrial chain such as production, distribution, procurement, and finance) and personnel collaboration is greatly improved, the value of resources is maximized, waste and loss are minimized, and decision-making is scientific.

There are many difficulties in the industrial Internet, focusing on:

❖ 1) The opening of industrial resources.Many industries face the problem of resource centralization or resource regulation. If resources are not open, industry changes will be difficult, such as medical care and electricity;

❖ 2) It is difficult to integrate traditional thinking and Internet thinking in the industry.Each industry has its own characteristics, and it is an instinct to reject foreign things like the Internet. At the same time, the integration of the Internet into traditional industries requires industry experience. Therefore, a very open mind and mechanism are needed to promote the chemical reaction between the two. Yuge has experienced the Internetization of finance and the Internetization of supply chains, and has a deep understanding of the difficulty of integrating the two.

❖ 3) The infrastructure construction process of the industry Internet of Things.The application of the Internet of Things in the industry will definitely greatly accelerate the Internetization of the industry. It is like the highway in the past and the high-speed rail now, and it will bring industrial changes to the industry. However, the construction of infrastructure often requires scale effects and has strong positive external effects, so it is necessary to observe whether it is possible for some commercial entities to promote the construction of some infrastructure more quickly.

Based on the development trend of the Internet of Things and the Industrial Internet, Yuge suggests that when choosing a job, it may be a good choice to choose a favorite industry to cultivate, accumulate industry knowledge, and think with Internet thinking and mentality.
