Cloud Computing and Internet of Thing

Li Yan is the founder and CEO of Wise Panorama, a continuous entrepreneur. The Li Yan on the field of intelligent hardware is very thought, his company has developed a business intelligence hardware, is the Internet POS machine, the name is "Wang POS". This "Wang POS" with the general POS machine what is not the same place? Interested friends can go to check, here is not specifically introduced, in short, and the difference between traditional POS machines probably like Big Brother and iPhone difference. And people also won the Oscar Award for the design industry: the German red dot award.

Recently, Li Yan accepted the exclusive interview with the Knowledge News Studio, and talked about his views on the future trends in intelligent business hardware. Li Yan said that the next era of the basic business architecture is cloud computing, coupled with the terminal's intelligence. Why is this architecture? Let's hear what he says.

Li Yan said that China is now in the whole cloud on the progress is very fast, but in the terminal is backward. Now a large number of commercial devices are in the PC PC, Wintel architecture, that is, Windows operating system plus Intel chips. In the past, this working environment is enough, but the future is not enough. why? After the work environment, you are asked to connect to the Internet every time, so you access the cloud that equipment must be small enough to move enough. PC this architecture is impossible, whether it is computer cooling, energy consumption, the battery can not do. So Li Yan feel that the next few years there will be a change, will this Wintel alliance to break.

Who will break the Wintel League? Li Yan believes that the mainstream of the future equipment will be ARM and Andrews combination. ARM and Intel, is also a kind of processor. In the past because it is not the speed of Intel fast, so people do not use it on the PC. But now, ARM computing speed up, and it has an advantage, that is, much lower power consumption than Intel. Said PC architecture will be subverted in the future is the reason: Intel chip cooling is not good, so give it a fan, it can run; it is high power consumption, so have to improve the battery capacity, that this device can not do very small. But ARM's low power consumption, and now the operation speed up again, coupled with Andrews system, business intelligence hardware can be used.

Said so much, why is the terminal in the end why it is important? Li Yan said that it has so several characteristics. First, it is the source of the data, not before that, artificial intelligence is a big data feeding monster Well, that data are from where? Certainly from the end up, collected data from the cloud, the cloud can be analyzed. Second, the terminal is a connection line and line cross-border point, no matter how rich online, must be physically fall on a thing, such as mobile phones, rely on this thing to access the real scene. Third, the terminal is the entrance of all cloud services, want to wake up the cloud service, you have to pass the terminal. For example, Amazon last year to sell the ECHO smart speaker, is an artificial intelligence of an entrance, you can tell it: my family lack of washing liquid, the Internet to help me set two bottles, and then along with two bags of black dog food And so on, you can wake up the cloud through this smart speaker service.

In addition, Li Yan also suggested that the terminal "hardware" and the original is not a concept. Where is the difference? There are two places, the first difference is that the hardware company is not concerned about the hardware function, but behind the data. In the past we said that the hardware is a specific function of the tool, it does not care who is the user, do not care about what you use this hardware in the above data. For example, the original TV, as long as the screen is large enough to restore the display is good enough, the sound is also good on the line. But now all Internet hardware companies do not be a tool, but a content distribution network contacts. They are not to sell you a TV, but to buy TV in these users, the establishment of an Internet distribution channels. Because if you own drama, then, may be holding a cell phone lying in the nest looked, when will look in the living room? Must be a better experience and want to share a common experience. So this time, the hardware company is not concerned about the hardware function, and care about when the user will share what content and experience.

There is also a difference is that a hardware can now gather a lot of hardware in the past. The machines of the industrial age in the past can only do one thing, because from the industrial point of view, large-scale production is more cost-effective, each factory to try to control costs, and then put up production, this is the business model at that time. So that time we take digital camera camera, take MP3 to listen to music, but now a mobile phone to get. iPhone is not a communication tool, but an information portal.

How to Spend More Money?

When speak of spending money, many people will immediately think of to save money. Is it really? Recently, the new book "learn to spend money" to put forward a different point of view. The author of the book Noguchi real Japanese is a famous MBA instructor, long active in the financial sector, has in Reid Bank, JP Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and other companies work, is a financial sector of the big coffee. The author said that most of us spend money on the existence of errors, the real money will not save money, but the more money to spend more.

How can money spend more? The author said, in order to spend more money, first of all to learn to distinguish between three wallet. The three wallets are speculative wallets, investment wallets and consumer wallets.

The first kind of speculative wallet, is the money to do hit the big thing. Such as buying lottery tickets, gambling, or buying works of art, collectibles, thinking maybe it will appreciate in the future. The author suggested that such wallets should not be used, because speculation is completely unable to control this matter, if you want to earn money and indulge in speculation, it is likely to lose home hard accumulation of assets.

The second is to invest in wallet, that is to spend money to buy the future may make more money opportunities. Spend the purse of the money must be more and more good, because the money can be earned after more. Like to buy financial products, investment business are considered. In addition, to buy their own training courses to learn to charge, investment in children's education funds, are very important investment behavior, the future may have a huge income.

The third: consumption wallet. Consumption wallet refers to the behavior in order to meet the personal desire to spend money, such as buying flowers, shopping to buy clothes and so on. The author said that this kind of wallet to moderate spend, how to be appropriate? The author gave two tips. One is to look at the money worthless, both to see the price, but also the pursuit of consumption itself to bring satisfaction. For example, to buy a piece of expensive but the quality of the clothes than to buy 10 cheap goods will spend money, because the former both psychological satisfaction and practical value are higher. Another skill is: as much as possible with the investment wallet earned part of the money consumption, so that your total assets are still increasing, not because of consumption and eating, affecting the ability to make money.

Multi-purpose investment wallet, moderate consumption of wallet, to avoid using speculative wallet, which is the basic principle of learning to spend money. On this basis, you have to know an important principle, in order to spend more money, that is, "only after the purchase will be more valuable things." Of course, the reason everyone knows, the question is how to do to determine what I bought after the value of money? Moreover, some things itself is difficult to estimate the value, let alone the value of the future.

However, in the economist's view, almost all of the value can be converted into money to compare. For example, you have to learn English and now have two English courses. A daily English training, 30,000 pieces. The other is one to one business English training, 100,000. How to choose?

First of all, for different people, the same thing or the value of the goods in the future is completely different. If you are ready to enter foreign companies, that fluent business English requirements are high, and the next year's income can reach 100 million, no doubt the choice of 100,000 training courses. If you are already a working employee, just want to go abroad to play, to avoid language communication barriers, this time as long as you calculate it, after going abroad if not because of English translation costs, more than 30,000 yuan, then you now spend This is 30,000 yuan, is worth it.
Secondly, you have to count the discount rate. What does that mean? We know that the future money may not have the money now, three years after the thousands of dollars may only be equivalent to the current 80,000 dollars, so in the calculation of future earnings, it is necessary to make a discount to the future money , This discount is called discount rate. The truth sounds simple, but most people often do not realize this problem. Imagine, if you work in 4 years is fixed 1 million yuan, there are two ways to pay wages: the first is the increase in wages year by year, the first year of 100,000, the second year of 200,000, the third year of 300,000 , The fourth year of 400,000; the second wage decreased year by year, the first year of 400,000, the second year of 300,000, the third year of 200,000, the fourth year of 100,000. What kind of way are you willing to choose? Many people will be willing to choose the former, that is, wage income is increasing. But in fact, know the concept of discount rate you know, since the total is the same, the sooner you get more money, the less your discount loss.

Of course, with the change of time not only the value of money, your own values, preferences, the state is also changing, these are to be considered into the factors.

Disruptive Innovation: 3 Case Studies

A few days ago, we mentioned the "disruptive innovation: the enterprise to achieve a breakthrough in 15 ways" this book, has been introduced to the six subversive innovation methods, today we give you three kinds.

The first is structural subversion. What is structural subversion? Plainly, in fact, is to break the original division of the function, there are different talent gathered together. The book gives an example: "imitation game" The film in 2015 won the Oscar for the best adaptation of the script, talking about the father of computer science Alan Turing's biography story. During the Second World War, Turing led his team to successfully crack the German "mystery" password system. His team is not only cryptographers, there are physicists, mathematicians, chess champions and crossword championships and so on these people. The book says that it is because of this interdisciplinary collaboration, will produce more new ideas, so as to crack the password.

The book also cited the example of Nissan, a carmaker, who used this method to turn around. In 1999, when Carlos Ghosn was appointed CEO of Nissan, the company was about to go bankrupt. But two years later, Nissan began to profit again, operating margin also reached 10.8%.

What is the key to success in Nissan? There are of course many of the factors, but the most striking is that Carlos Ghosn is keen on diversity, and he has established nine cross-functional teams. In these teams, the team leader in the management platform is not a technician, but a financial officer; a team leader who manages a dealer's business is neither a salesperson nor a legal person. After the completion of the nine teams, Ghosn gave these teams three months to write a proposal, these documents later became the famous "Nissan revival plan" basis, to help the company ended the 26-year loss of the situation.

The second is the subversion of cooperative relations, that is, in the two companies on the basis of cooperation, to bring subversive innovation. The relationship between the two companies may not be great, but the results of cooperation may be surprising. For example, Turkey's Beckham company ranked first in the European household appliances industry, the author of this book has asked its chief executive Levante said that if you and Paris L'Oreal cooperation, will produce what product? Although never thought about this before, Levante or carefully thought. He felt that in tropical countries, beauty products often melt, so many women will put the cosmetics in the refrigerator. So, if the company for the L'Oreal design a small refrigerator in the bedroom, like a beautiful cigar box so big, then there will certainly be a market. Levin said that the company for many years want to get rid of the "kitchen appliances," the shackles, this little idea may let their products into the people's bedroom.

There are some cooperation is also very unexpected, such as the cooperation of Amazon and Twitter, you only need to click on the mouse Twitter, you can add a product to the Amazon shopping cart; and then, such as Apple and the French luxury Hermes joint The introduction of a watch, Apple's smart watch with Hermes design beautiful shape, is a technical and classical process alliance.

The last one is sustainable-driven subversive. The core of this approach is that corporate social responsibility innovation can also guide enterprises to conduct a comprehensive innovation. Now more and more enterprises realize that they do not attach importance to environmental issues, do not care about the public interest, the image of the enterprise has a great impact. The book gives us an example of taking McDonald's.

In 1999, McDonald's French company encountered a major crisis. At that time a well-known French anti-globalization activists, said McDonald's a restaurant harm the local food industry and agriculture. That fall, just caught up with mad cow disease suddenly broke out, many people worry that McDonald's beef burger will be contaminated. In the face of these two thunderbolt, McDonald's did not hide aside, but carried out a lot of activities to show their commitment to civic responsibility. For example, McDonald's used frying oil through recycling, will become organic diesel, and McDonald's logistics cooperation company has been using these diesel; another example, McDonald's and France has nearly a thousand towns and villages signed a contract , The content is to help improve the public areas of garbage collection situation; they also and the French pediatrician association cooperation project to study the problem of child nutrition.

More importantly, these policies form a cumulative effect within the company, almost every McDonald employees have accepted this innovative culture. Employees are interested in improving the customer experience by discovering new and innovative ways. Now, McDonald's French companies are even pushing a project that they are not sure whether they can finish, that is, 100% self-contained energy.

The Secret of Longevity

The pursuit of mankind has never stopped on longevity. In recent years, want to use the power of modern science to extend the life of mankind, has become the direction of the efforts of scientists. Now the "longevity secret" a lot, but they really fly it? How can people be longevity? Recently, "Time magazine" with 23 pages published a special report, mainly to say how people can live longer, modern technology can help us to extend the life to what extent. "Get" subscribe to the product "Ma Xujun said the magazine" for us to read this report, I'll give you a quote.

First of all, since ancient times, how long people have longed for longevity. There is no need to say in the past, people eat a lot of strange plants, with heavy metal refining elixir, there are people to the animal tissue transplanted to the human body. To the modern, people are still carrying out a lot of research, the world's longevity is the most fanatical, not scientific workers, but Silicon Valley well-known entrepreneurs. Such as Oracle's founder Larry Ellison, who has spent $ 300 million to study aging and cure geriatrics; Google co-founder Larry Page, or even set up a company specifically for this , To study how to extend human life; also, such as entrepreneurial godfather Peter Till, just to a study of how to extend the life of non-profit organizations to donate 7 million dollars.

What is the scientific research on longevity now under the keenness of modern people? "Time" refers to the existing four methods:

The first method is blood transfusion, the health of young people's blood, lost to those older people. There is a company in the United States dedicated to providing such services, people can spend $ 8,000, from the healthy young people to buy blood lost to their own. The theory of the company's propaganda that young people's blood there are some factors that can help the cells repair and regeneration, into the young people's blood can help the elderly to delay aging, to restore vitality. But in fact, this experiment only in animals, although it can improve the health status, but the effect is not particularly obvious, but in fact the effect of the human body has not been verified.

The second method is to give the body a comprehensive pixel-level check, genome sequencing and biopsy. This is a way to predict the disease you may have in order to prevent or even early surgery, but this check is very expensive, once needed 25,000 US dollars, so far the United States only 400 people have done such a check, of which 40% Identify health risks, such as cancer, aneurysms and even heart disease. This method can be achieved in technology, but first of all is expensive, followed by "traumatic disease" in the form will also bring a huge psychological burden.

The third way is to take medicine, or eat supplements. Now there are about two kinds of market, one can help people to delay aging, re-activation of cell vitality, but this drug has not done clinical trials, so only as a health supplements, can not be considered a real medicine; the other can help People activate brain cells, but the ingredients and functional drinks are almost the same, after taking the feeling of the brain seems to be really flexible, but scientific research shows that this may only be "placebo effect" is not necessarily the effect of the drug itself. Therefore, these two drugs, are currently not proven by the scientific method effective.

The fourth method is high-tech diet. Experiments show that if you reduce calorie intake, a few days a week do not eat only drink water, help to extend the life of mankind. However, the benefits of regular diet on health, in the end because of the reduction of the risk of obesity caused by various diseases, or from the regeneration of healthy cells, in fact, is not clear, and even if the role is also quite limited.In general, these methods either do not fly, or the cost is too expensive. So, we ordinary people want to longevity there is no practical way? "Time magazine" also gives three suggestions.The first suggestion is to want to live long, we must maintain a strong curiosity. The study, from the director of the longevity center at Stanford University, said that for the things to maintain a learning mentality, always let themselves in the state of knowledge, people can think and cognitive ability is not degraded.

The second suggestion is to eat more fruits, vegetables and nuts, and eat more than you think enough that the amount of more. A survey in 2015, after investigating 450,000 European adults, found that those foods made up of plants were 20 percent less likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease than others. Harvard's study also found that those who prefer to eat fruits and vegetables, the risk of heart disease is 30% lower. So, eat more fruits and vegetables, reduce calorie intake, to maintain health is good, less intake of 25% a day calories, the effect is better.

The third suggestion is, may wish to think about aging this thing for their own meaning. Yale University School of Public Health Professor Levy has done an experiment and found that young people in the old age to do serious thinking, is very good for health. Those who have a positive attitude towards aging are an average of 7.5 years more than those who have a negative attitude towards old age. In other words, for the aging of this thing has a positive and correct view, but to help more longevity.

Treatment of Large City Diseases with Small and Medium Sized Cities

We often hear a keyword, big city disease, that is, large cities in the population expansion, traffic congestion, housing difficulties, environmental degradation, resource constraints and other "symptoms." An effective way to alleviate the disease in large cities is to develop small and medium-sized cities. So, how to effectively promote the development of small and medium cities? Recently, the surging news reporter interviewed the Chinese city and small town reform and development center chief economist Li Tie. Li Tie said that to break the hierarchical regional administrative boundaries, to the small and medium-sized city independent administrative power, with the city management divide and cure methods to promote the development of small and medium-sized cities. Here to talk about in detail.

First, the development of small and medium-sized cities in China is facing the problem. At present, China is the implementation of the city management system. What does that mean? Is the high level of large cities or mega-cities to manage low-grade small cities and small towns. In this way, high-level cities will gather resources in their own here, limiting the surrounding small and medium-sized cities and the development of small towns.What are the major cities or mega-cities to mobilize resources? There are three types:

First, the upper reaches of the program resources, such as land indicators. Who got the land index, who had the right to development. But recently these years, most of the land indicators left to the central city, to the county on the very few, to the town basically no.

Second, the implementation of fiscal policy. In a province, a large part of the main income of the lower government is to be handed over to the higher authorities.

Third, the higher cities can also be through the administrative planning, the original subordinate county or county town, changed its own direct jurisdiction of the region, to better mobilize resources.How should this change the status quo? Li Tie that the implementation of regional management and urban management division of governance, that is, to adjust the allocation of resources, to more power in small and medium-sized cities. Now many large towns have reached the level of medium-sized cities, if you can give them more development space, will be formed in the metropolitan area around the city.

For example, many cities in the world, the mega-city is only an independent main city, the metropolitan area is far beyond the scope of mega-city. Like Japan's Tokyo metropolitan area has 36 million people, then enlarge is 42 million people, the core of the main city is probably 10 million people, more around the metropolitan area is small and medium-sized cities. If we compare Beijing and Tokyo, Seoul and London metropolitan areas, we will find that the number of small and medium-sized cities in the metropolitan area of ​​developed countries is many times that of China.

What are the benefits of forming the metropolitan area? Li Tie said that the city's development results, is the central city of the cost of a substantial increase. But after the formation of the metropolitan area, some large industrial enterprises can be transferred to the surrounding. The development of industrial enterprises requires a lower land cost and a relatively independent development environment. If they are mostly located in the main city, both elevated the price, but also exacerbated the traffic congestion, to people's lives brought a lot of inconvenience. If the future can actively promote the development of small and medium cities around the mega-cities, to encourage industrial enterprises to move in the past, both to reduce the pressure on the main city, but also to reduce the cost of these enterprises. In the international community, such as Microsoft, Apple, Boeing and other large enterprises, are also located in the big city around the town.

Speaking of which, some people may ask, under normal circumstances, the management level of large cities is relatively high, poor management of small cities. Let the small city to build a city out, will not cause more problems? Li Tie said, in fact, the country more than 800 large town, to create revenue and the ability to develop enterprises is not worse than the big city Although the big cities can use administrative resources to attract foreign investment, gathering vitality, but the efficiency will be greatly reduced, and finally lead to the city cost is too high, the development of crisis.

Give a few large town examples, such as Zhejiang Wenzhou Liu City, Longgang, Zhongshan, Guangdong Xiaolan, Dongguan Humen Changan, population size are in the hundreds of thousands. If you rely on the power of the market, these large towns can develop very well, very dynamic. For example, Dongguan's foreign population is about 6.8 million, equivalent to four times the local population, most of these people live in the town or the village. The more active the population is, the more vibrant and competitive.

But now most of these urban resources have been taken away by higher authorities. Li Tie has been to these places to do the investigation and found that their higher-level government where the city is very beautiful, but those who created more wealth and the development of the real economy of the large town infrastructure is seriously behind.

Li Tie suggested that in the process of urban development, the opportunity to transfer to the market. Through the market-oriented way, the population and industry reasonable allocation in the surrounding small and medium-sized cities, it will not cause the city core area is too large, but also to promote the development of small and medium cities.
