Rewrite the Technological Landscape

On the afternoon of the second day of the Gale Global Developers Conference, Meng Qian directly held a meeting on virtual reality standards on the spot.

Nadella and many senior executives of American technology companies are staring at the real-time news of this meeting.

The purpose of this meeting is very clear on the surface, which is to establish a global standard for virtual reality.

The Dafeng Group has already taken the lead in the two global standards of artificial intelligence and cloud computing. Now it seems that there is nothing wrong with leading a virtual reality. After all, the Dafeng Group is indeed the most expensive in terms of virtual reality technology, and the technology is also the most advanced.

But in the eyes of industry insiders, this is not the case. When Gale Group truly leads the global artificial intelligence and cloud computing standards, there is a premise that at least under the cloud computing technology dominated by weak artificial intelligence and virtualization technology, Gale The technology promoted by the group is relatively mature, especially commercialization.

That's why everyone is willing to hang out with the Dafeng Group. A very important reason here is that everyone wants to do a good job in commercialization, and everyone wants to make small money in a secure environment.

But the problem is that, as Meng Qian himself said, Dafeng Group has indeed taken a very important step in the development of virtual reality, but this step is still very rough, and there is still a long way to go before full commercialization.

At this time, if everyone hangs out with the Dafeng Group, there will be some unstable factors.

But this detail is exactly the reason why Meng Qian wants to hold this meeting, and it can even be said to be the key to Meng Qian's holding this meeting.

Meng Qian on the stage said with a serious expression, "The first step in the large-scale commercialization of virtual reality has been taken, and if there are no accidents, it will be a period of explosion.

As for what kind of technologies and companies will emerge during this outbreak period, we cannot foresee what kind of companies will emerge.

But looking back at history, one thing we can foresee is inevitable chaos.

And at the heart of this confusion is the confusion of standards.

I answered a question at the Internet Conference before, why China's smart home is developing so fast.

My answer is that standards come first. "

As soon as the first four words of the standard came out, some discussions began to unbearable at the scene.

Meng Qian ignored their arguments and continued, "After the establishment of the World Artificial Intelligence Standards Organization and the World Cloud Intelligence Federation Standards Organization, we have encountered obvious troubles.

Unified standards are not as smooth as we imagined.

We can review the development history of standards together. Although there were national standards a long time ago, with the rapid development of the technology industry and the emergence of more and more new products, many national standards are just a basic framework.

Each enterprise will set its own standards based on this basic framework, and everyone will produce products that meet the basic national standards according to their own standards.

Then there is the problem of inconsistent standards among different companies. Therefore, when developing smart home appliances, we put forward the concept of standards first. The new product standard has realized the method of setting standards while developing.

Facts have proved that doing so has greatly promoted the development of the entire industry.

But our standards are limited to our brands in the Chinese market. When we go to the international market, the problem of inconsistent standards arises again.

Then there is a very real phenomenon, the international standard is lagging behind, and everyone will compromise with whoever has better industrial development.

But I never think that compromise is the optimal solution for an industry’s development. In this era of globalization, since we all know that all technologies will eventually go global, why can’t we reach international standards on the issue of standards? consciousness? "

Meng Qian looked at the people present and asked everyone to think for a while.

"Standards are risky. If the industry does not develop, it will be a huge waste of international resources." Someone expressed his opinion immediately.

"You are right, that's why I want to bring up this idea today, because I think it should be a more appropriate time to take a large-scale marketization that most people recognize as the starting point of the standard.

It is indeed very risky to go ahead with standards before large-scale commercialization, but it is obviously too late to go ahead with standards after large-scale commercialization. The best time is at the beginning, what do you think? "

Discuss again below.

"The time point chosen by Meng Qian is convincing, but in this way, the next standard for new materials and new energy quantum technology may follow this rule, and now China is the country with the fastest outbreak of new technologies."

"Yes, the advantage of Huaxia Technology lies in the breakthrough of new technology, which is more beneficial to Huaxia enterprises.

The United States is currently spending a lot of money on pursuing new technologies. Now if standards are introduced first, the opportunities for American companies will become smaller. "

Although Meng Qian couldn't hear their whispers clearly, he could figure out what they were concerned about now with his toes, "Don't any of you care about who should lead the matter of standards first?"

Everyone was stunned, yes, everyone subconsciously thought that this thing must be dominated by Huaxia Enterprise, but it seems that there is room here.

Meng Qian continued, "Another reason why I hope standards come first is that standards can further reduce the dominance of standards.

Standard barriers have always been a word that everyone hates. The standard itself is a very great thing, because it can promote universality, and universality is the cornerstone of technological development.

The contradiction between standard barriers and versatility is like the contradiction between patent barriers and patent protection I mentioned before. How to solve this contradiction also depends on communication in my opinion.

But on the issue of patents, both sides of the exchange are patent inventors and patent users, while on the issue of standards, both parties to the exchange are standard builders.

Therefore, one of the advantages of standards first is to achieve as much balance as possible among standard builders. For this balance, we propose a concept of weakening dominance, balancing rights, technical authority, and cooperative construction. "

As soon as Meng Qian said this, the pot exploded instantly.

An hour later, Nadella went straight to Bill Gates' home, "The standards proposed by Meng Qian go first, and will affect the pace of global technological development in the future!"

"Weakening dominance, balancing power, technological authority, and cooperative construction." Bill Gates looked at his mobile phone and read the concept proposed by Meng Qian. "In such an era of globalization, who would reject such an idea."

"But this is just what Meng Qian said, who knows what will happen in real time?

Technical authority has a lot of room for manipulation. If Huaxia enterprises have an absolute technological advantage, isn't it still Huaxia enterprises that are guiding them? "

"But if one day your technology is ahead, you can lead."

"That's the same sentence, why do they believe that Meng Qian believes in Huaxia? Now the leading technology is the Huaxia enterprise, and now the Huaxia enterprise is calling for technology to be the first, isn't it leading the standard construction?"

Bill Gates smiled, "Because the World Artificial Intelligence Standards Organization and the World Cloud Computing Standards Organization have demonstrated for everyone in front.

Through those two organizations, everyone has already developed a sense of trust in Dafeng Group and Huaxia. "

Nadella swallowed what he wanted to say, "But in this way, we will become very passive in the future."

Bill Gates stood up and looked out the window into the distance, "So, some people should see the situation clearly."
