AsiaIndustrial NetNews: After proposing the concept of “second half” last year, Meituan Dianping CEO Wang Xing recently talked about the concept of “second half”, and said that “going to the sky, entering the earth, globalization” will become the main direction of Internet development in the next 5 to 30 years. Let’s find out together! After proposing the concept of “second half” last year, Wang Xing, CEO of Meituan Dianping, recently talked about the concept of “second half”, and said that “going to the sky, entering the earth, and globalization” will become the main direction of Internet development in the next 5 to 30 years. Let’s find out together!
▎Internet “second half” starts
When the wind of artificial intelligence intensifies,RobotIndustrial development has also ushered in rapid development. Recently, Wang Xing, CEO of Meituan Dianping, made a high-profile statement at the New Economy 100 CEO Summit in 2017: Internet entrepreneurship has entered the second half, the food delivery industry will also usher in subversion, and food delivery robots will soon appear.
He believes that in the next 5-30 years, the three most important directions in the second half should be “going to the sky, entering the earth, and globalizing”, that is, relying on high technology, deepening the industrial chain, and promoting globalization.
“The previous 20 years, especially the last 4 years, can be considered as the first half of the Internet, represented by user dividends, rapid growth of user scale, and breadth. The current second half of the Internet will be the sky, the earth and the world. and increase the depth of services (down-to-earth, globalization), as well as business model innovation.” He said at the scene.
▎Takeaway robots will appear soon
Although since 2012, the domestic Internet entrepreneurial wave has started a blowout mode, and many growth points have emerged under the blessing of capital, such as O2O, big data, virtual reality and other start-up companies. But in 2016, after a four-year bonus period, the entire industry has entered the “second half” mode, “from relying on dividends to relying on technology and services.”
Taking the food delivery industry as an example, Internet-based catering needs to take root in all aspects of the entire industry chain of finance, procurement, and management, especially in terms of how to dispatch orders, arrive quickly, and reduce distribution costs, etc., will rely on AI to analyze big data. In the future, the use of unmanned vehicles and robots to deliver food can be achieved very quickly, and it will no longer be far away. Especially on the basis that China’s food delivery market is much larger than that of the United States, and the market opportunities are also much larger.
As the second half of the Internet is getting better, will one day in the future, the streets will be full of robots delivering food? The prospect is worth looking forward to.
▎China’s best era has come
The essence of the second half of the global Internet competition is the competition between China and the United States, and the Internet between China and the United States will constitute the main pattern of future global competition. “The best example is that Tencent’s market value rose to $279 billion and surpassed Wells Fargo to become the tenth largest company in the world by market capitalization in China alone, and the only non-U.S. company in the top ten.”
In the past, the Internet was high technology, but now the Internet is just a traditional technology. As technology continues to break through boundaries, new spaces can be created, which is crucial to China’s Internet and the global economy. Because if no new space appears, after the original space is filled, the players inside will change from enclosure to competition.
However, in order to achieve globalization, sufficient patience, greater investment and more collaboration between enterprises will be the main factors affecting it. But it cannot be denied that the Internet era has become a great opportunity for China’s development at present, and the future globalization will also bring better development opportunities to China.
