The engine of performance growth.</p><p>In the past few years, JD Logistics and JD Health have successively IPO, and JD Technology, which changed its head and face from JD Digital, has become the only sub-group in the \"troika\" that has not been spun off and listed. From this perspective, it is not surprising that JD.COM wants to promote the IPO plan as soon as possible.</p><p><b>However, after experiencing a series of shocks such as the blockage of the IPO in science and technology innovation board, the major adjustment of the business model, and the departure of core executives, we can't help but ask: Has JD Technology really found its own way?</b></p><p><b>The Science and Technology Innovation Board has failed in the past six months: De-financialization is the top priority of JD Technology</b></p><p>In fact, this is not the first time that JD Technology has been linked to listing.</p><p>In September 2020, JD Digital Technology Holdings Co., Ltd., the predecessor of JD Technology, JD Digital, officially submitted an IPO application to the Shanghai Stock Exchange and plans to list on the Science and Technology Innovation Board. At that time, JD Digital had been established for seven years. After the transformation of its business model from digital finance to financial technology, and then to digital technology, it already had a certain market position in the industry, and it was logical to go public.</p><p>However, this super unicorn with a valuation of 200 billion failed to successfully win the ticket to the secondary market. In March last year, JD Digital announced the withdrawal of its IPO application, and the Shanghai Stock Exchange also decided to terminate the review process.</p><p><b>It is worth mentioning that JD Digital's withdrawal of its IPO application is just a microcosm of the wave of technology companies terminating their listings at the beginning of last year.</b>Data searched by the Value Research Institute (ID: jiazhiyanjiusuo) shows that as of March 31, a total of 32 companies have announced the withdrawal of IPO applications on the Science and Technology Innovation Board. In addition to JD Digital, there are also star unicorns such as folding screen giant Royole Technology and Yitu Technology, one of the \"AI Four Little Dragons\".</p><p>There are no more than two reasons for the large-scale termination of IPOs by technology-based enterprises: First, the IPO review is strict, and the CSRC intends to strengthen market supervision, which also puts forward higher requirements for the financial data of companies applying for listing; Second, affected by the market environment and relevant policies, the management of relevant companies is turbulent and their business changes are too large, so they have to readjust their listing plans.</p><p>For JD Digital, the latter factor obviously has a greater impact.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ac28d22ca0d35b69c4f294bfb27526e\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"611\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>According to the prospectus submitted by JD Digital at that time, among its main sources of revenue, financial technology-related businesses accounted for a very high proportion. The data shows that during the reporting period, JD Digits served more than 600 banks, insurance, funds, trusts, and securities institutions. In terms of revenue proportion, the digital solution revenue brought by these more than 600 financial institutions accounts for 41.48% of the total revenue, making it the second largest revenue source of JD Digital.</p><p>Although merchant and enterprise digital solutions contribute 52.37% of JD Digital's revenue and are the most important cash cow, this is based on more than 1 million small and micro merchants, more than 200,000 small and medium-sized enterprises, and more than 700 large-scale merchants. Based on the huge customer base of the business center.<b>In other words, when it comes to the income value of a single customer, financial institutions such as banks and funds are the most important funders of JD Digits.</b></p><p>However, I believe everyone will never forget the great earthquakes in technology and finance industry in the past two years. First, the official media severely criticized Internet financial institutions for encouraging advanced consumption, and then<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/06688\">Ant Group</a>The listing plan was suspended, and JD Finance was criticized by the media and netizens for controversial advertisements... This series of negative events has profoundly changed the fate of JD Digital.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/92acd78bce16623c45941894b5b52d61\" tg-width=\"991\" tg-height=\"762\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>(Picture from JD Digital Prospectus)</p><p>In view of this, in the past year, JD Digits has devoted itself to reducing its financial attributes through various means: from name change to executive reshuffle, to business model adjustment, JD can be said to have exhausted eighteen efforts.</p><p>As early as January 31, JD Group announced that it would integrate JD Digital and JD Cloud with the AI Division to form a brand-new JD Technology sub-group, officially replacing JD Digital as the core platform for JD to export technical services.</p><p>Objectively speaking, the most direct reason why JD Digital withdrew its IPO on the Science and Technology Innovation Board is this name change and business restructuring. But from the standpoint of JD.com, the name change is just the beginning, and the withdrawal of the IPO application is also unexpected. Under the public opinion and policy environment at that time, the road to listing of JD.com Digital is destined to be not smooth, and it is better to have a drastic reform. Pave the way for future development.</p><p>Although JD Digital announced as early as 2018 that it would upgrade its financial technology strategy to a digital technology strategy, in the view of the Value Research Institute,<b>It was not until January last year that JD Technology changed its name and merged into JD Cloud and AI business that JD Technology really embarked on the road of industrial digital reform.</b></p><p>In the months after the name change and IPO withdrawal, JD Technology also started a round of large-scale personnel adjustments to further dilute its financial color:</p><p>Chen Shengqiang, the former CEO of JD Digital, retreated to the second line, and Li Yayun, then chief compliance officer of JD Group, was in charge of the seal; Xu Ling, the head of JD Technology Financial Institution, known as the \"Father of Baitiao\", was also transferred to the CSO business department of the group as the head of the strategic planning department. Li Bo, the former head of the corporate finance business department of the secondary department of JD Financial Technology Group, took over Xu Ling's position. It is reported that Li Bo has more than 20 years of working experience in the traditional banking system and has a deep understanding of industry regulations and regulatory systems. All in all, a series of work of JD Technology is moving closer to compliance, trying to minimize the risks that technology and finance business may bring to itself.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/91fb046b1da1426f672fdbabc77301bb\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"630\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>(Image via UNsplash)</p><p>After this year's adjustment, the financial content of JD Technology has been greatly reduced, which has indeed cleared the way for re-listing.

According to a report released by IDC, an international data agency, as of the first half of last year, China's IaaS and PaaS public cloud market totaled US $9.546 billion, a year-on-year increase of 48.6%. Among the top cloud service providers, Alibaba Cloud and<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/00700\">Tencent</a>Cloud occupies 37.9% and 11.2% of the market share respectively, ranking firmly in the top two.</p><p>Behind Ali and Tencent, although the seats of Huawei Cloud and Tianyi Cloud often change, they are basically at the forefront. Plus those who are working hard<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BIDU\">Baidu</a>Cloud, and ByteDance, which announced its high-profile entry into the cloud computing market last year, the cloud service track is becoming more and more crowded.</p><p>To become China's fifth cloud, does JD.com still have a chance?</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2cf2066aabc78a1b4be02e46b23e9025\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"801\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>(Image from IDC)</p><p><b>To avoid Alibaba's limelight, JD Technology needs to find another way</b></p><p>According to the global cloud computing IaaS market tracking data released by Gartner in April last year, as of 2020, JD Cloud ranked fifth in China in market share, catching up with<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon</a>。 In terms of growth rate, JD Cloud ranks among the top three among the top ten cloud service providers, showing a good development speed.</p><p>But in the face of the overwhelming advantage of leading cloud service vendors, especially the old enemy Ali, this performance is far from enough.</p><p>As mentioned earlier, Alibaba Cloud's first-mover advantage in the domestic basic cloud/public cloud market is almost unshakable, and its market share is far ahead. Whether it is JD.com, the ambitious ByteDance, or Baidu, it is difficult for these latecomers to leverage Ali's dominance. According to the Value Research Institute,<b>If JD.com wants to overtake in a corner, it must avoid Ali's sharpness and find the right focus: for example, promoting the combination and coordinated development of cloud computing and AI, and giving full play to JD.com's advantages in the real economy.</b></p><p><b>On the one hand, JD Technology has experience in serving JD's self-operated retail and logistics systems, and has differentiated and scenario-based advantages.</b>Serving the real economy with digital technology is the common goal of various cloud service giants such as JD.com, Alibaba, and Tencent. JD.com, which has always emphasized the quality of its own real economy, is naturally unwilling to be left behind.</p><p>For example, the transformation of the physical retail industry by AI and cloud computing has brought many surprises to JD.com itself. During last year's 618 period, the C2M reverse customization system supported by AI technology helped JD.com achieve the goal of increasing the transaction volume of 1,000 new categories by 100% year-on-year, and the sales of 100 new categories exceeded 100 million. But in the future, JD Technology needs to further \"untie\" from JD.com and open up more external customers.</p><p>Unlike Ali, which is based on the public cloud, JD Cloud's auxiliary effect on the self-operated retail system is visible to the naked eye, and it has the foundation to provide targeted services to other retail customers. Other scenario-based services in fields such as smart logistics, infrastructure, and warehousing are also opportunities that JD Technology cannot ignore. As Gao Liqiang, president of JD Technology JD Cloud Business Group, said:</p><p>\"JD.com is a procurement and sales model, which means that JD.com has a strong connection relationship with brand owners and manufacturing companies, and can master first-hand industrial experience.\" And these experiences and targeted services are exactly what corporate customers need.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81b1c90ea9d8b123ac68f04131310cdd\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"682\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>(Image via Pixabay)</p><p>On the other hand, focusing on cloud technology + AI<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/5RE.SI\">smart</a>The cloud industry has made great progress in the past few years-<b>The integration of AI and JD Cloud business into JD Technology just reflects JD's ambition for this market and its determination to promote the integration of these two cutting-edge technologies.</b></p><p>At the World Artificial Intelligence Conference held in July last year, JD.com showed its newly developed AI technology full-stack products and digital solutions to the outside world. This is JD.com's latest attempt in the coordinated development of cloud computing and AI technology. The JD Zhizao Cloud Project, which was also unveiled at this conference, shoulders the important task of JD Technology's commercialization exploration in the field of AI + cloud computing.</p><p>According to the official statement of JD.com, JD.com Zhizao Cloud has been commercialized in the Yangtze River Delta region, which has played a role in helping enterprises achieve intelligent production, flexible production, and cost reduction.</p><p>It should be noted that although JD Cloud started late and its market share cannot be compared with Ali and Tencent, its computing power foundation is not bad at all. Data shows that JD Cloud currently has more than 2 million Docker containers, making it one of the largest Docker clusters in the world, which can ensure super computing power. Excellent computing power is the basis for supporting JD Technology's integrated research and development of cloud technology and AI technology.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0301664e40052d8c97e48d96a826b91f\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"693\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>(Image from official website, JD Technology)</p><p><b>Of course, JD Technology can do better in the integration of cloud and AI, and its service scope also has more room for extension-especially in urban infrastructure and government platform services.</b></p><p>According to official data, the number of urban public service institutions currently served by JD.COM is 40 +, which is not large. SenseTime, whose stock price continued to rise sharply after successfully landing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at the end of last year, relies on its smart city business in cooperation with public service agencies and local governments to support nearly 50% of its revenue, demonstrating the huge potential of this market.</p><p>Although JD.com and SenseTime have great differences in business models and service scope, their pursuits are similar: to build the \"smart brain\" of modern cities and promote the digital upgrade of urban management systems through technological means such as cloud computing and AI.. Based on AI giants such as SenseTime, JD Technology can also find many new increments in related digital infrastructure fields.</p><p><b>Write at the end</b></p><p>On January 24, JD Technology and the Wuhu Municipal People's Government signed a strategic cooperation agreement to build a local digital intelligent management platform for the latter and promote the development of Wuhu's smart home appliance/home industry. At the Anhui International Household Appliances and Consumer Electronics Expo held on the same day, Qu Hui, director of Wuhu Economic and Information Bureau, talked about the help brought by JD Technology to Wuhu's home appliance industry:</p><p>\"Anhui has listed the smart home appliance industry as one of the top ten emerging industries in the province's' 14th Five-Year Plan 'stage.

Joining hands with government agencies to increase the layout of the digital industry will also be an important development direction in the future.

The engine of performance growth.</p><p>In the past few years, JD Logistics and JD Health have successively IPO, and JD Technology, which changed its head and face from JD Digital, has become the only sub-group in the \"troika\" that has not been spun off and listed. From this perspective, it is not surprising that JD.COM wants to promote the IPO plan as soon as possible.</p><p><b>However, after experiencing a series of shocks such as the blockage of the IPO in science and technology innovation board, the major adjustment of the business model, and the departure of core executives, we can't help but ask: Has JD Technology really found its own way?</b></p><p><b>The Science and Technology Innovation Board has failed in the past six months: De-financialization is the top priority of JD Technology</b></p><p>In fact, this is not the first time that JD Technology has been linked to listing.</p><p>In September 2020, JD Digital Technology Holdings Co., Ltd., the predecessor of JD Technology, JD Digital, officially submitted an IPO application to the Shanghai Stock Exchange and plans to list on the Science and Technology Innovation Board. At that time, JD Digital had been established for seven years. After the transformation of its business model from digital finance to financial technology, and then to digital technology, it already had a certain market position in the industry, and it was logical to go public.</p><p>However, this super unicorn with a valuation of 200 billion failed to successfully win the ticket to the secondary market. In March last year, JD Digital announced the withdrawal of its IPO application, and the Shanghai Stock Exchange also decided to terminate the review process.</p><p><b>It is worth mentioning that JD Digital's withdrawal of its IPO application is just a microcosm of the wave of technology companies terminating their listings at the beginning of last year.</b>Data searched by the Value Research Institute (ID: jiazhiyanjiusuo) shows that as of March 31, a total of 32 companies have announced the withdrawal of IPO applications on the Science and Technology Innovation Board. In addition to JD Digital, there are also star unicorns such as folding screen giant Royole Technology and Yitu Technology, one of the \"AI Four Little Dragons\".</p><p>There are no more than two reasons for the large-scale termination of IPOs by technology-based enterprises: First, the IPO review is strict, and the CSRC intends to strengthen market supervision, which also puts forward higher requirements for the financial data of companies applying for listing; Second, affected by the market environment and relevant policies, the management of relevant companies is turbulent and their business changes are too large, so they have to readjust their listing plans.</p><p>For JD Digital, the latter factor obviously has a greater impact.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ac28d22ca0d35b69c4f294bfb27526e\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"611\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>According to the prospectus submitted by JD Digital at that time, among its main sources of revenue, financial technology-related businesses accounted for a very high proportion. The data shows that during the reporting period, JD Digits served more than 600 banks, insurance, funds, trusts, and securities institutions. In terms of revenue proportion, the digital solution revenue brought by these more than 600 financial institutions accounts for 41.48% of the total revenue, making it the second largest revenue source of JD Digital.</p><p>Although merchant and enterprise digital solutions contribute 52.37% of JD Digital's revenue and are the most important cash cow, this is based on more than 1 million small and micro merchants, more than 200,000 small and medium-sized enterprises, and more than 700 large-scale merchants.

Plus those who are working hard<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BIDU\">Baidu</a>Cloud, and ByteDance, which announced its high-profile entry into the cloud computing market last year, the cloud service track is becoming more and more crowded.</p><p>To become China's fifth cloud, does JD.com still have a chance?</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2cf2066aabc78a1b4be02e46b23e9025\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"801\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>(Image from IDC)</p><p><b>To avoid Alibaba's limelight, JD Technology needs to find another way</b></p><p>According to the global cloud computing IaaS market tracking data released by Gartner in April last year, as of 2020, JD Cloud ranked fifth in China in market share, catching up with<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon</a>。 In terms of growth rate, JD Cloud ranks among the top three among the top ten cloud service providers, showing a good development speed.</p><p>But in the face of the overwhelming advantage of leading cloud service vendors, especially the old enemy Ali, this performance is far from enough.</p><p>As mentioned earlier, Alibaba Cloud's first-mover advantage in the domestic basic cloud/public cloud market is almost unshakable, and its market share is far ahead. Whether it is JD.com, the ambitious ByteDance, or Baidu, it is difficult for these latecomers to leverage Ali's dominance. According to the Value Research Institute,<b>If JD.com wants to overtake in a corner, it must avoid Ali's sharpness and find the right focus: for example, promoting the combination and coordinated development of cloud computing and AI, and giving full play to JD.com's advantages in the real economy.</b></p><p><b>On the one hand, JD Technology has experience in serving JD's self-operated retail and logistics systems, and has differentiated and scenario-based advantages.</b>Serving the real economy with digital technology is the common goal of various cloud service giants such as JD.com, Alibaba, and Tencent. JD.com, which has always emphasized the quality of its own real economy, is naturally unwilling to be left behind.</p><p>For example, the transformation of the physical retail industry by AI and cloud computing has brought many surprises to JD.com itself. During last year's 618 period, the C2M reverse customization system supported by AI technology helped JD.com achieve the goal of increasing the transaction volume of 1,000 new categories by 100% year-on-year, and the sales of 100 new categories exceeded 100 million. But in the future, JD Technology needs to further \"untie\" from JD.com and open up more external customers.</p><p>Unlike Ali, which is based on the public cloud, JD Cloud's auxiliary effect on the self-operated retail system is visible to the naked eye, and it has the foundation to provide targeted services to other retail customers. Other scenario-based services in fields such as smart logistics, infrastructure, and warehousing are also opportunities that JD Technology cannot ignore. As Gao Liqiang, president of JD Technology JD Cloud Business Group, said:</p><p>\"JD.com is a procurement and sales model, which means that JD.com has a strong connection relationship with brand owners and manufacturing companies, and can master first-hand industrial experience.\" And these experiences and targeted services are exactly what corporate customers need.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81b1c90ea9d8b123ac68f04131310cdd\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"682\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>(Image via Pixabay)</p><p>On the other hand, focusing on cloud technology + AI<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/5RE.SI\">smart</a>The cloud industry has made great progress in the past few years-<b>The integration of AI and JD Cloud business into JD Technology just reflects JD's ambition for this market and its determination to promote the integration of these two cutting-edge technologies.</b></p><p>At the World Artificial Intelligence Conference held in July last year, JD.com showed its newly developed AI technology full-stack products and digital solutions to the outside world. This is JD.com's latest attempt in the coordinated development of cloud computing and AI technology. The JD Zhizao Cloud Project, which was also unveiled at this conference, shoulders the important task of JD Technology's commercialization exploration in the field of AI + cloud computing.</p><p>According to the official statement of JD.com, JD.com Zhizao Cloud has been commercialized in the Yangtze River Delta region, which has played a role in helping enterprises achieve intelligent production, flexible production, and cost reduction.</p><p>It should be noted that although JD Cloud started late and its market share cannot be compared with Ali and Tencent, its computing power foundation is not bad at all. Data shows that JD Cloud currently has more than 2 million Docker containers, making it one of the largest Docker clusters in the world, which can ensure super computing power. Excellent computing power is the basis for supporting JD Technology's integrated research and development of cloud technology and AI technology.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0301664e40052d8c97e48d96a826b91f\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"693\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>(Image from official website, JD Technology)</p><p><b>Of course, JD Technology can do better in the integration of cloud and AI, and its service scope also has more room for extension-especially in urban infrastructure and government platform services.</b></p><p>According to official data, the number of urban public service institutions currently served by JD.COM is 40 +, which is not large. SenseTime, whose stock price continued to rise sharply after successfully landing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at the end of last year, relies on its smart city business in cooperation with public service agencies and local governments to support nearly 50% of its revenue, demonstrating the huge potential of this market.</p><p>Although JD.com and SenseTime have great differences in business models and service scope, their pursuits are similar: to build the \"smart brain\" of modern cities and promote the digital upgrade of urban management systems through technological means such as cloud computing and AI.. Based on AI giants such as SenseTime, JD Technology can also find many new increments in related digital infrastructure fields.</p><p><b>Write at the end</b></p><p>On January 24, JD Technology and the Wuhu Municipal People's Government signed a strategic cooperation agreement to build a local digital intelligent management platform for the latter and promote the development of Wuhu's smart home appliance/home industry. At the Anhui International Household Appliances and Consumer Electronics Expo held on the same day, Qu Hui, director of Wuhu Economic and Information Bureau, talked about the help brought by JD Technology to Wuhu's home appliance industry:</p><p>\"Anhui has listed the smart home appliance industry as one of the top ten emerging industries in the province's' 14th Five-Year Plan 'stage. We hope to use the profound technological accumulation of JD.COM Group to reasonably promote the local smart home appliance/home industry to a new level of development.\"<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7092507380aeb1b232b00835eedc90bd\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"718\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>The Value Research Institute said in the previous \"review 2021\" series that under the combined effect of a series of factors such as the exhaustion of online traffic and the tightening of anti-monopoly policies, the future of Chinese technology and Internet companies will inevitably return to \"technology is king\" \"era.</p><p>It can be seen from this series of cooperation that JD Technology has been committed to opening up new fronts and finding new growth space. Joining hands with government agencies to increase the layout of the digital industry will also be an important development direction in the future. As the vanguard of JD.com, a huge business empire, in the field of science and technology, the development prospects of JD.com's science and technology are naturally worthy of our expectation.</p><p></body></html></p>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n<p> source：<a

价持续大涨的商汤科技，就靠着和公共服务机构、地方政府合作的智慧城市业务撑起近50%的营收，展现了该市场的庞大潜力。京东和商汤科技在业务模式、服务范围上固然有很大差异，但它们的追求是相似的：打造现代城市的“智慧大脑”，通过云计算和AI等科技手段促进城市管理体系的数字化升级。以商汤科技等AI巨头为蓝本，京东科技在相关数字基建领域，还能找到很多新增量。写在最后1月24日，京东科技和芜湖市人民政府签订战略合作协议，将为后者打造本地数智化管理平台，以及促进芜湖市智能家电/家居产业的发展。在当天举行的安徽国际国际家用电器暨消费电子博览会上，芜湖市经信局局长瞿辉谈到了京东科技给芜湖家电产业带来的帮助：“安徽已经将智能家电产业列为全省‘十四五’阶段重点发展的十大新兴产业之一，我们希望能借助京东集团深厚的技术积淀，合理推动当地智能家电/家居产业迈上发展新台阶。”价值研究所在此前的“复盘2021”系列中曾说过，在线上流量枯竭、反垄断政策趋紧等一系列因素的共同作用下，中国科技、互联网企业的未来必然要回归到“科技为王”时代。从这一系列合作中可以看到，京东科技一直在致力于开拓新战线、寻找新的增长空间。和政府机构携手，加大在数字产业的布局，也会是其日后的重要发展方向。而作为京东这个庞大商业帝国在科技领域的排头兵，京东科技的发展前景，自然值得我们期待。","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"JD":0.9,"09618":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":949,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9090120746,"gmtCreate":1643122034306,"gmtModify":1676533775978,"author":{"id":"3570400052929996","authorId":"3570400052929996","name":"Huangwei","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89be5114c1e790b27ceba546fd6c9abb","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570400052929996","idStr":"3570400052929996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hallo","listText":"Hallo","text":"Hallo","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9090120746","repostId":"1158028995","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1158028995","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"为用户提供金融资讯、行情、数据，旨在帮助投资者理解世界，做投资决策。","home_visible":1,"media_name":"老虎资讯综合","id":"102","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1643119787,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1158028995?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-25

Wall Street Insights and Wisdom Research will split it for everyone to see the impact of each factor on the price increase. As many terminal car companies explained when announcing price increases, the last reduction of new energy vehicle subsidies at the end of 2021 has indeed caused considerable cost pressure on new energy vehicle companies.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/82d1c5cbf5b78b3f2fe2da49a1df2360\" tg-width=\"865\" tg-height=\"472\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>On December 31, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the National Development and Reform Commission issued the \"Notice on Fiscal Subsidy Policies for the Promotion and Application of New Energy Vehicles in 2022\", clearly stating that the current technical indicator system framework and threshold requirements for purchase subsidies will remain unchanged in 2022, but new The subsidy standard for energy vehicles will be reduced by 30% on the basis of 2021.<b>From this perspective, the models of car companies currently announcing price increases are mostly concentrated in pure electric models and plug-in hybrid models with a cruising range greater than or equal to 400 kilometers. 2,000 yuan.

Hybrid models may become the dark horse of new energy vehicle sales in 2022.</p><p></body></html></p>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n<p> source：<a href=\"https://wallstreetcn.com/articles/3650505\">华尔街见闻</a></p>\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3ae2bbbf21100a97b333e824b88c56d3","relate_stocks":{"XPEV":"小鹏汽车","002594":"比亚迪"},"source_url":"https://wallstreetcn.com/articles/3650505","is_english":false,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2205071943","content_text":"2021年，新能源汽车行业以全年354.5万辆的销量，同比增长1.6倍的好成绩开启了新的销量增速元年。而2022年刚刚过去不到一个月，业内就屡次传来终端新能源汽车车企上调旗下车型的消息，这似乎展示了一个2022年新能源汽车将迎来全线涨价的信号：1）上周末，国内新能源汽车龙头公司比亚迪汽车表示，将对旗下王朝系列和海洋系列相关新能源车型的官方指导价进行调整，上调幅度为1000-7000元不等；2）造车新势力中在2021年稳住月销量破万辆的小鹏（涨价幅度在4300元至5900元），以及才崭露头角的哪吒（涨价幅度在2000元至5000元）、零跑（最低配车型涨价幅度在8000元-9000元）和极星（涨价幅度在5千元左右）等车企也进行了提价；3）正在进行转型新能源的传统车企如广汽（旗下埃安LX涨价了4000元）和大众（ID系列涨价5400元）也明显上调了价格；4）更不用说，在去年年底，全球新能源汽车龙头公司特斯拉就宣布Model 3和Model Y的后轮驱动版售价分别上调1万元和2.1万元。华尔街见闻·见智研究在本篇文章将试图解释两个问题：1）终端车企为何集体开始进行涨价？2）终端车企涨价后，影响又有多大？1、终端车企为何集体开始进行涨价？华尔街见闻·见智研究认为，由于涨价的车企旗下车型的设计、配置等方面都没有太大的变化，所以并不算优化了配置，所以车企提价最主要的原因就在于两点——补贴退坡和上游涨价，华尔街见闻·见智研究分别为大家拆分来看各自因素在涨价幅度中的影响占比。正如不少终端车企在宣布涨价的同时给出的解释，2021年年底新能源汽车补贴的最后一次退坡的确给新能源汽车车企造成了不小的成本压力。12月31日，财政部、工信部、科技部、发改委发布《关于2022年新能源汽车推广应用财政补贴政策的通知》，明确表示2022年保持现行购置补贴技术指标体系框架及门槛要求不变，但是新能源汽车补贴标准在2021年基础上退坡30%。从这个角度来看，目前宣布提价的车企旗下的车型多集中在续航里程大于或等于400公里的纯电动车型和插电式混合动力车型，前者退坡幅度达到5400元，后者补贴减少了2000元，对比来看，比亚迪由于是纯电动和插混销量双驱动，所以为满足各个车型，所以公布的涨价波段较大，而造车新势力和其他传统车型涨价幅度则基本上都是对照前者。值得一提的是，同样是造车新势力中的佼佼者理想、蔚来等公司，以及开发了国民神车五菱宏光mini EV的上汽通用五菱，小蚂蚁的奇瑞、好猫系列的长城汽车等传统车企目前却没有涨价公告，主要原因就在于售价高于30万元以上的高端新能源汽车，以及续航标准本身就不达标的车型如A00系车型，以及部分A0系车型本来就不在补贴范围内，所以不受影响。第二个原因则是2021年全年上游原材料大涨带来的肉眼可见的成本压力，动力电池作为新能源汽车最为重要的组成部分，其本身成本占整个新能源汽车成本的30%~40%，这就直接导致了动力电池自身以及原材料价格的大幅上涨，势必将引导着终端新能源汽车的成本的大幅增长。在2021年之前，终端车企对零部件供应商不管是产业链地位上还是话语权方面都有着绝对的优势，所以在成本方面有着要求，能够压低零部件供应商的毛利率，即使是最为核心的部件动力电池在过去几年中也接受每年10%左右的成本降幅。但是这个降价趋势在2021年迎来了改变，动力电池最为主流的两大路线中，磷酸铁锂（动力型）的价格从2021年年初的4万元/吨涨到年末的11.1万元/吨，涨幅高达177.5%；而三元材料最常用的三种型号523型，622型和811型的价格分别从年初的12.35万元/吨、14.55万元/吨和17万元/吨涨至年末的24.8万元/吨、26.6万元/吨和27.6万元/吨，涨幅分别为100%、83%和62%。这也使得2021年动力电池的价格不仅不会下降，还会上升。华尔街见闻·见智研究以今年较火的磷酸铁锂电池为例，正常来说1Gwh电池需要磷酸铁锂正极材料2200-2500吨左右，一辆新能源汽车以50KWH带电量来看，1GWH动力电池可以满足2万辆新能源汽车的需求，所以一辆车将消耗0.11吨至0.125吨磷酸铁锂正极材料，根据其高达177.5%涨幅的计算，每辆车成本或将上升7千元左右，当然这项成本和此前的补贴退坡导致的成本上升不同，补贴退坡的降低成本将由终端车企全部承担，而这项成本无法全额传导，动力电池厂商以及上游原材料厂商都需要共同承担，这也是为什么此前动力电池厂商迟迟不涨价的原因，几乎都是自己承担。2、终端车企涨价后，影响又有多大？新能源汽车终端车企集体涨价最为直接的影响就在于或将导致新能源汽车销量的回调，2021年除了春节扰动的2月，自二季度以来就一直处于月销量持续高增长的趋势，全年更是创下销量354.5万辆，同比增长1.6倍的历史新高记录，渗透率也接近15%。而销量的持续增长是建立在市场对于新能源汽车的逐渐认可上面，尤其是在如今新能源汽车的补能体系尚未完全满足消费者的需求，里程焦虑和安全隐患依旧存在，所以本身依靠较低价位、较高智能化和绿牌这三驾马车来提高性价比的新能源汽车突然加价，毫无疑问会对终端的销量造成一定的影响，这一点已经在部分车企的订单数量上有所体现。而进一步的数据证明将在1月份的新能源汽车销量出来之后进行验证，华尔街见闻·见智研究还会继续紧跟新能源汽车各大车企每月产量、销量、订单等数据情况，并及时和大家进行分析。除此之外，混合动力车型也有望迎来一波高景气度，在2021年的销量上已经有些许端倪，此前由于新能源补贴政策的偏好指引，双积分政策的影响，以及混合动力车型产品本身的技术复杂性，混合动力车型不管是HEV还是PHEV的销量与整体增速都远低于纯电动车型，终端车企也并未将其作为重点研发方向，而在2021年，混合动力汽车产销量分别达到59.8万辆和60万辆，同比增速高达162.4%和121.6%， 其中的佼佼者比亚迪的插电混动的销量更是达到272,935，同比增长467.62%，远超纯电动144.95%的增速。在2022年新能源汽车补贴进一步退坡后，混合动力车型受到的影响也是明显较纯电动要小，近期提价的车型也多为纯电动，插电混动即使有所提价，在涨价幅度和绝对值方面也是远远小于纯电动，叠加由于技术革新，发动机热效率提升，混合动力车型能解决消费者里程焦虑和补能的问题，混合动力车型或将有望成为2022年新能源汽车销量的黑马。","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"XPEV":0.9,"002594":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":612,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9007259877,"gmtCreate":1642911228916,"gmtModify":1676533757248,"author":{"id":"3570400052929996","authorId":"3570400052929996","name":"Huangwei","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89be5114c1e790b27ceba546fd6c9abb","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570400052929996","idStr":"3570400052929996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"！！！","listText":"！！！","text":"！！！","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9007259877","repostId":"1176837647","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1176837647","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1642815834,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1176837647?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-22 09:43","market":"us","language":"zh","title":"Sister Wood becomes contrarian indicator?

Microsoft sees a future that other giants don't in a sense.</p><p>It's about games and beyond games.</p><p>Many years later, when we look back at this shocking acquisition in 2022, we will find that it has already planted many important seeds for the future pattern of the industry.</p><p><b>1. Microsoft has a deeper understanding of the significance of games for the future than other giants</b></p><p>Without a doubt, Microsoft is an elephant that once finished dancing.</p><p>In 2000, the Windows department accounted for more than 60% of Microsoft's revenue composition. Let's take a look at Microsoft's 2020 financial report 20 years later-</p><p>Windows, as a sub-business of the \"personal computing\" division, together with Surface, games, search engines and advertising, only accounts for 32.2% of revenue.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c7ddbf76196f698527f4ed9dd3d86c38\" tg-width=\"550\" tg-height=\"389\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Distribution of Microsoft's revenue composition in recent years</p><p>Today, the other two major businesses from cloud computing are carrying the banner of revenue-the \"productivity and business process\" department and the \"intelligent cloud\" department.</p><p>The former includes Office365, Dynamics and LinkedIn, while the latter includes servers and enterprise services.</p><p>Yes, cloud services have deservedly surpassed Windows to become Microsoft's second curve, which is a miracle for Microsoft, which perfectly missed the Internet age.</p><p>So, here's the question-where is Microsoft's third curve?</p><p>I think this acquisition has given the answer in a sense-\"the game and the infinite possible future it represents\".</p><p>As an established technology company established in 1975, although Microsoft still stands at the top of the industry 45 years later, Microsoft, which has continuously missed the Internet and mobile Internet, has deep anxiety about the future.</p><p>Obviously, Microsoft is trying to make use of its abundant capital advantage to make a comprehensive layout in advance, so as to ensure that it is in an advantageous position in the competition of the next generation computing platform.</p><p><b>Second, the gold-swallowing beast or cash cow-Microsoft buys both the present and the future.</b></p><p>Nadella did change Microsoft in a sense. His miraculous operation saved this once slow-moving giant, and I can summarize his business style in eight words-\"clear goal and soft figure\".</p><p>When he was asked to expand the SaaS service of Office365, he quickly launched the iOS version of Office.</p><p>Nowadays, \"Microsoft is the best developer of iOS\" is both a joke and a partial fact, and the new operating system Windows 11 even allows users to download Google's Android apps directly from the Amazon App Store.</p><p>When Microsoft wants to expand cloud services, it has reached a rare cooperation with former competitors such as IBM and Oracle. Customers can migrate and run key data across Microsoft's Azure and Oracle Cloud.</p><p>At the same time, Microsoft, once absolutely closed, began to enthusiastically embrace open source systems today.</p><p>All these actions show the pragmatic side of Nadella, a low-key head.</p><p>Similarly, the acquisition of Blizzard also fully demonstrates Microsoft's pragmatism-focusing on the future but starting on the present.</p><p>For Microsoft, what it buys is both the present and the future.</p><p>From a short-term perspective, although the majority of players have criticized Activision Blizzard for its lack of innovation and corporate culture scandals in recent years, from a financial perspective, it is still a rare high-quality asset in the game field:</p><p>In 2020, revenue will be US $8.09 billion and profit will be US $2.19 billion; In the first three quarters of 2021, the revenue was US $9.05 billion and the profit was US $2.64 billion. This figure surpassed most outstanding companies in the game field.</p><p>Therefore, Microsoft's price of US $68.7 billion corresponds to 35 times the dynamic PE, which is not expensive.</p><p>What's more, Blizzard itself has as much as US $8.2 billion in cash on its books.</p><p>In this sense, Microsoft is buying a cash cow, not a gold-swallowing beast.</p><p>For Microsoft, the direct significance of the acquisition lies in reversing the disadvantage of Xbox console versus Sony PS console due to insufficient game content.</p><p>Of course, it is not easy for Microsoft to digest a behemoth like Activision Blizzard.</p><p>Judging from Microsoft's historical acquisition and integration performance, there are successes and failures: Skype and Nokia are undoubtedly failed acquisition and integration cases.</p><p>Of course, this happened before Nadella came to power, while other projects have performed relatively steadily so far.</p><p>The difficulty of Microsoft's integration of Activision Blizzard is that it is not an integration at a single business level. To give full play to its huge potential, it needs to be deeply and organically connected with Microsoft's intricate business departments.</p><p>This is a huge challenge even for the sophisticated Nadella.</p><p>I have criticized the original universe hype, but I don't deny the direction of technological development that metaverse represents.</p><p>The boundaries between virtual and real will undoubtedly become further blurred in the future.</p><p>Even Microsoft and Meta, which are at the forefront of metaverse development, actually lack sufficiently clear action steps for the specific implementation path of metaverse. The entire industry is crossing the river by feeling the stones, constantly trying and exploring.</p><p>Activision Blizzard has brought huge possibilities and imagination to Microsoft.</p><p><b>3. Activision Blizzard will fill the last piece of Microsoft's metaverse puzzle</b></p><p>There is no doubt that Microsoft is betting big on metaverse.</p><p>The construction of the metaverse itself is a huge and complex systematic project. Although its specific development path cannot be predicted, it must be combined with the following three levels of technologies-</p><p>The first is the hardware layer (VR/AR/, that is, input and output devices);</p><p>The second is to support basic technical facilities (cloud computing, basic computing power, digital twins, engine tools);</p><p>Finally, there is the application layer, that is, the specific operating system and specific applications.</p><p>Microsoft's layout at the above levels is the most comprehensive in a sense-</p><p>Its AR headset HoloLens is the underlying hardware layout and is currently the most leading personal device in the AR field.</p><p>In 2021, it received a huge order of US $21.9 billion from the U.S. Department of Defense at an extremely expensive price, and will develop more than 120,000 sets of AR helmets for the U.S. military in the next 10 years.</p><p>In April 2021, Microsoft announced the acquisition of Nuance for $19.7 billion, which is Microsoft's second largest acquisition after LinkedIn.</p><p>Nuance's core product is its language recognition engine, Dragon Anywhere, which uses deep learning to recognize speech.

Building Disney in the game industry-IP is the important significance of this acquisition.</b></p><p>Many people think that Blizzard is going downhill now, with a high turnover rate of core employees, and Microsoft's deal is not cost-effective.</p><p>However, what Microsoft is interested in is the massive game IP behind Activision Blizzard.</p><p>You think Microsoft is buying Call of Duty, Dark Wreck, Warcraft and Overwatch, but in fact it is buying the massive player loyalty and future derivative potential behind these games.</p><p>How powerful is Blizzard's IP power?</p><p>We can see the clue from the derivative movies of World of Warcraft-</p><p>As an important pop culture symbol in the 21st century, the movie \"Warcraft\" derived from the game World of Warcraft has grossed $438 million at the box office worldwide.</p><p>Among them, more than $200 million came to the Chinese market, and it is still the highest-grossing game adaptation film in film history.</p><p>Build an IP aircraft carrier-Microsoft bought Bethesda Softworksh, Minecraft, Activision Blizzard and Disney bought Lucasfilm, Pixar, Marvel, and 20th Century Fox The underlying logic is the same.</p><p>Microsoft's ambition is to become the Disney of gaming.</p><p>No matter how technology advances and how games evolve, the core of the industry is infectious and high-quality content.</p><p>The high-quality IP proven by time undoubtedly makes Microsoft, which was once at a disadvantage in the competition with Sony because of IP shortage, stand at the top of the content pyramid.</p><p>The important value of IP lies in its abstraction. It is not limited to any display form and equipment, so it can play the role of a moat in long-term games in a sense.</p><p>We can get a glimpse of the importance of IP to the game industry from the case of Nintendo-</p><p>Nintendo's console is far lower than its contemporary competitors in terms of hardware performance. However, it is precisely because of a large number of hot super IPs such as Super Mario and Pokémon Elf that Nintendo is still proud of the game market.</p><p>In 2016, the AR mobile game \"Pokemon GO\" authorized and developed by Nintendo's IP Pokémon achieved phenomenal success worldwide, which shows the power of IP.</p><p><b>7. Epilogue</b></p><p>From a more macro perspective, human society is a large-scale game, and life is like a play.

Microsoft sees a future that other giants don't in a sense.</p><p>It's about games and beyond games.</p><p>Many years later, when we look back at this shocking acquisition in 2022, we will find that it has already planted many important seeds for the future pattern of the industry.</p><p><b>1. Microsoft has a deeper understanding of the significance of games for the future than other giants</b></p><p>Without a doubt, Microsoft is an elephant that once finished dancing.</p><p>In 2000, the Windows department accounted for more than 60% of Microsoft's revenue composition. Let's take a look at Microsoft's 2020 financial report 20 years later-</p><p>Windows, as a sub-business of the \"personal computing\" division, together with Surface, games, search engines and advertising, only accounts for 32.2% of revenue.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c7ddbf76196f698527f4ed9dd3d86c38\" tg-width=\"550\" tg-height=\"389\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Distribution of Microsoft's revenue composition in recent years</p><p>Today, the other two major businesses from cloud computing are carrying the banner of revenue-the \"productivity and business process\" department and the \"intelligent cloud\" department.</p><p>The former includes Office365, Dynamics and LinkedIn, while the latter includes servers and enterprise services.</p><p>Yes, cloud services have deservedly surpassed Windows to become Microsoft's second curve, which is a miracle for Microsoft, which perfectly missed the Internet age.</p><p>So, here's the question-where is Microsoft's third curve?</p><p>I think this acquisition has given the answer in a sense-\"the game and the infinite possible future it represents\".</p><p>As an established technology company established in 1975, although Microsoft still stands at the top of the industry 45 years later, Microsoft, which has continuously missed the Internet and mobile Internet, has deep anxiety about the future.</p><p>Obviously, Microsoft is trying to make use of its abundant capital advantage to make a comprehensive layout in advance, so as to ensure that it is in an advantageous position in the competition of the next generation computing platform.</p><p><b>Second, the gold-swallowing beast or cash cow-Microsoft buys both the present and the future.</b></p><p>Nadella did change Microsoft in a sense. His miraculous operation saved this once slow-moving giant, and I can summarize his business style in eight words-\"clear goal and soft figure\".</p><p>When he was asked to expand the SaaS service of Office365, he quickly launched the iOS version of Office.</p><p>Nowadays, \"Microsoft is the best developer of iOS\" is both a joke and a partial fact, and the new operating system Windows 11 even allows users to download Google's Android apps directly from the Amazon App Store.</p><p>When Microsoft wants to expand cloud services, it has reached a rare cooperation with former competitors such as IBM and Oracle. Customers can migrate and run key data across Microsoft's Azure and Oracle Cloud.</p><p>At the same time, Microsoft, once absolutely closed, began to enthusiastically embrace open source systems today.</p><p>All these actions show the pragmatic side of Nadella, a low-key head.</p><p>Similarly, the acquisition of Blizzard also fully demonstrates Microsoft's pragmatism-focusing on the future but starting on the present.</p><p>For Microsoft, what it buys is both the present and the future.</p><p>From a short-term perspective, although the majority of players have criticized Activision Blizzard for its lack of innovation and corporate culture scandals in recent years, from a financial perspective, it is still a rare high-quality asset in the game field:</p><p>In 2020, revenue will be US $8.09 billion and profit will be US $2.19 billion; In the first three quarters of 2021, the revenue was US $9.05 billion and the profit was US $2.64 billion. This figure surpassed most outstanding companies in the game field.</p><p>Therefore, Microsoft's price of US $68.7 billion corresponds to 35 times the dynamic PE, which is not expensive.</p><p>What's more, Blizzard itself has as much as US $8.2 billion in cash on its books.</p><p>In this sense, Microsoft is buying a cash cow, not a gold-swallowing beast.</p><p>For Microsoft, the direct significance of the acquisition lies in reversing the disadvantage of Xbox console versus Sony PS console due to insufficient game content.</p><p>Of course, it is not easy for Microsoft to digest a behemoth like Activision Blizzard.</p><p>Judging from Microsoft's historical acquisition and integration performance, there are successes and failures: Skype and Nokia are undoubtedly failed acquisition and integration cases.</p><p>Of course, this happened before Nadella came to power, while other projects have performed relatively steadily so far.</p><p>The difficulty of Microsoft's integration of Activision Blizzard is that it is not an integration at a single business level. To give full play to its huge potential, it needs to be deeply and organically connected with Microsoft's intricate business departments.</p><p>This is a huge challenge even for the sophisticated Nadella.</p><p>I have criticized the original universe hype, but I don't deny the direction of technological development that metaverse represents.</p><p>The boundaries between virtual and real will undoubtedly become further blurred in the future.</p><p>Even Microsoft and Meta, which are at the forefront of metaverse development, actually lack sufficiently clear action steps for the specific implementation path of metaverse. The entire industry is crossing the river by feeling the stones, constantly trying and exploring.</p><p>Activision Blizzard has brought huge possibilities and imagination to Microsoft.</p><p><b>3. Activision Blizzard will fill the last piece of Microsoft's metaverse puzzle</b></p><p>There is no doubt that Microsoft is betting big on metaverse.</p><p>The construction of the metaverse itself is a huge and complex systematic project. Although its specific development path cannot be predicted, it must be combined with the following three levels of technologies-</p><p>The first is the hardware layer (VR/AR/, that is, input and output devices);</p><p>The second is to support basic technical facilities (cloud computing, basic computing power, digital twins, engine tools);</p><p>Finally, there is the application layer, that is, the specific operating system and specific applications.</p><p>Microsoft's layout at the above levels is the most comprehensive in a sense-</p><p>Its AR headset HoloLens is the underlying hardware layout and is currently the most leading personal device in the AR field.</p><p>In 2021, it received a huge order of US $21.9 billion from the U.S. Department of Defense at an extremely expensive price, and will develop more than 120,000 sets of AR helmets for the U.S. military in the next 10 years.</p><p>In April 2021, Microsoft announced the acquisition of Nuance for $19.7 billion, which is Microsoft's second largest acquisition after LinkedIn.</p><p>Nuance's core product is its language recognition engine, Dragon Anywhere, which uses deep learning to recognize speech. Apple's Siri and Samsung's S-Voice have all adopted Nuance's technology.</p><p>Why did Microsoft buy Nuance?</p><p>Because Microsoft believes that voice is one of the core interaction methods in the mixed reality industry, the acquisition will consolidate its technical foundation in the voice field.</p><p>At the Ignite conference held in November last year, Microsoft released a prototype metaverse product with avatar function-\"Mesh for Microsoft Teams\".</p><p>This product is mainly aimed at ordinary consumers. By connecting Mesh into Teams, it improves users' virtual experience, allowing users to collaborate in different places, hold meetings, and share holographic experiences through Teams.</p><p>Therefore, it can be seen that Microsoft has made preparations for metaverse in the entire industrial chain from hardware to basic technology to application layer.</p><p>The acquisition of Blizzard has pushed metaverse's application scenarios from office to entertainment.</p><p>The giants' judgments on metaverse's development vary greatly, but one thing is almost consistent-metaverse, the game comes first.</p><p>Today, Microsoft has made up the last puzzle of its metaverse layout through acquisitions.</p><p>In this regard, Microsoft CEO Nadella's attitude is direct and clear-</p><p>\"Gaming is currently the most dynamic and exciting entertainment category on all platforms today and will play a key role in the development of metaverse's platform.\"</p><p><b>4.

游戏、搜索引擎和广告加起来只占到营收构成的32.2%。微软近年收入组成分布如今扛起收入大旗的是来自云计算的另外两大业务——“生产力与业务流程”部门、“智能云”部门。前者包括 Office365、Dynamics和 LinkedIn，后者则包含服务器和企业服务。没错，云服务已经当之无愧地超越Windows成为了微软的第二曲线，这对完美错过互联网时代的微软而言简直是一个奇迹。那么，问题来了——微软的第三曲线在哪里？我想这次收购在某种意义上已经给出了答案——“游戏和它所代表的无限可能的未来”。作为一家1975年就成立的老牌科技公司，微软尽管在45年之后依然屹立在行业之巅，但曾经连续错过互联网、移动互联网的微软有着深深的未来焦虑。很显然微软试图通过此举利用自己雄厚的资本优势提前全面的布局，以确保自己在下一代计算平台的竞争中处于优势地位。二、吞金兽or现金牛——微软买的既是当下也是未来。纳德拉的确在某种意义上改变了微软，他奇迹般的操作拯救了这个曾经行动迟缓的巨人，而他的经营风格我总结为八个字——“目标明确，身段柔软”。当要他要拓展Office365的SaaS服务的时候，他快速上线了Office的iOS版本。如今“微软是iOS最佳开发者”既是一句调侃也是部分事实，而新版操作系统Windows 11甚至允许用户从亚马逊应用商城直接下载谷歌的安卓应用。当微软要拓展云服务的时候，它和IBM、Oracle 等曾经竞争对手罕见地达成合作，客户能够跨微软的Azure 和 Oracle Cloud 迁移和运行关键数据。同时曾经绝对封闭的微软今天开始热烈拥抱开源系统。这些举动无不显示了纳德拉这位低调的掌门人务实的一面。同样，收购暴雪也充分展示了微软的务实——着眼于未来但着手于现在。对于微软而言，它买下的既是当下也是未来。从短期的角度，尽管广大玩家对动视暴雪近年创新乏力和企业文化丑闻上有诸多的批评，但从财务的角度，它依然是游戏领域不可多得的优质资产：2020年营收80.9亿美元，利润21.9亿美元；2021年前三季度营收90.5亿美元，利润26.4亿美元，这个数据超越了游戏领域的大部分优秀公司。所以微软687亿美元的价格对应35倍的动态PE，并不算贵。更何况暴雪本身账面上还有高达82亿美金的现金。从这个意义上，微软买的是一头现金牛，而不是一头吞金兽。而对于微软而言，收购的直接意义还在于一句扭转了Xbox主机对阵索尼PS主机由于游戏内容不足而处于下风的劣势。当然，对于微软而言要消化好动视暴雪这样的庞然大物并不是一件容易的事。微软的历史收购整合表现来看，有成功也有失败：Skype、诺基亚毫无疑问是失败的收购整合案例.当然，这发生都在纳德拉掌权之前，而其他项目从目前看则表现较为平稳。微软对动视暴雪的整合难点在于它并非单一业务层面的整合，要充分发挥它的巨大潜力需要和微软错综复杂的业务部门进行深度有机的打通。这即便对于老练的纳德拉也是一个巨大的挑战。我曾经批评过原宇宙炒作，但我并不否认元宇宙所代表的科技发展方向。虚拟和现实的界限在未来毫无疑问会进一步变得模糊。即便是走在元宇宙开发前沿的微软和Meta，他们对于元宇宙的具体实现路径其实也缺乏足够非常清晰的行动步骤，整个行业都在摸着石头过河，都在不断尝试和探索。而动视暴雪则给微软带来了巨大的可能性和想象空间。三、动视暴雪将补齐微软元宇宙最后一块拼图毫无疑问，微软在豪赌元宇宙。而元宇宙的构建本身是一个庞大而复杂的系统化工程，尽管它的具体发展路径无法预测，但它必须由以下三个层面的技术进行配套组合——首先是硬件层（VR/AR/，即输入和输出设备）；其次是支持基础技术设施（云计算、基础算力、数字孪生、引擎工具）；最后才是应用层，即具体的操作系统和具体的应用。而微软在以上几个层面的布局在某种意义上是最全面的——它的AR头显HoloLens是底层硬件布局，目前是AR领域最领先的个人设备。2021年它以极其昂贵的价格获得了美国国防部 219亿美元的巨额订单，将在未来 10 年为美军研制超过12 万套AR头盔。2021 年 4 月，微软宣布以 197 亿美元收购 Nuance，这是微软继 LinkedIn 之后的第二大收购。Nuance最核心的产品是其语言识别引擎—— Dragon Anywhere，该引擎使用深度学习来识别语音，苹果的 Siri、三星的S-Voice 等都曾采用 Nuance 的技术。为什么微软要收购Nuance？因为微软认为语音是混合现实产业最核心的交互方式之一，收购将夯实自己在语音领域的技术基础。在去年11月份举办的 Ignite 大会上，微软发布了具有虚拟形象功能的元宇宙雏形产品——“Mesh for Microsoft Teams”。该产品主要面向普通消费者，通过将Mesh接入进Teams 提高用户的虚拟体验感，允许用户通过Teams 进行异地协作、召开会议、共享全息体验。所以，可以看到微软已经从硬件到基础技术再到应用层，在整个产业链条里为元宇宙做好了准备。而收购暴雪则将元宇宙的应用场景从办公推向了娱乐。巨头们对元宇宙的发展判断差异很大，但有一点几乎是一致的——元宇宙，游戏先行。而今天的微软通过收购补上了其元宇宙布局的最后一块拼图。对此，微软CEO纳德拉态度直接而明确——“游戏是目前当今所有平台上最具活力和最令人兴奋的娱乐类别，将在元宇宙平台的发展中发挥关键作用。”四、惊天收购背后被低估的游戏行业很显然，微软在下一盘大棋，这次惊天收购让人不得不思考一个重要问题——为什么是游戏？游戏产业到底有什么特殊之处？为什么它会成为下一个计算平台的突破口？是时候重新思考游戏和它代表的未来了，在我看来，游戏行业在某种程度上被低估了。首先，游戏在某种意义上影响着国家的文化竞争力。在19世纪，美国尽管在经济上迅速崛起，但在欧洲人看来“暴发户”美国是一个文化沙漠。而如今美国之所以能成为全球流行文化的霸主，其实主要源于电影和游戏这两个娱乐支柱产业。而事实上，早在2000年，美国游戏行业在产值上就超越了电影行业。全球诸多国家的年轻人是玩着CS、红色警戒、Dota、魔兽世界长大的，而这些都早已成为美国文化竞争力的重要组成部分。同样，游戏和动漫也成为了日本软实力输出的两大堡垒产业。在微软2001年推出Xbox之前，日本的索尼、任天堂、世嘉等公司牢牢掌控着全球游戏主机市场。超级马里奥、魂斗罗、精灵宝可梦(Pokémon)成为全球一代年轻人童年和青春的共同回忆。“软实力”是哈佛大学教授约瑟夫·奈在1990年提出的概念，它是指除经济、军事、政治领域以外的国家能力。今天，建设文化强国已成为重要国家战略。通用性强、受众面广的游戏产业作为全球流行文化重要组成部分，有充分的潜力成为中国在新科技格局下输出国家软实力的一座桥头堡。可喜的是，中国游戏在文化出海赛道表现出较强的竞争力和潜力。根据游戏工委的数据，2020年中国自研游戏海外市场销售收入为 154.5 亿美元，增速达 33.3%，高于行业平均水平。游戏除了文化层面的重要意义，它在事实上也推动了科技本身的不断进步。事实上，1972年，世界上第一部家用游戏主机 Odyssey 诞生时，个人电脑还没有被发明，乔布斯的第一份工作就是在游戏公司雅达利上班。而PC成为产业之后，能玩游戏一直是家用电脑的一个重要卖点。事实上，电脑性能特别是图形性能的提升主要由游戏行业对显示画面精度的不断提高而被推动向前发展的。美国天才游戏程序员、3D游戏之父约翰*卡马克推出的《DOOM》多年以来一直是英伟达早期新一代显卡性能测试的主要工具。而显卡和GPU的高速发展在近几年年意外地成为人工智能技术和区块链技术算力的重要推动力量。1998年，任天堂在NINTENDO 64推出了一款叫做《你好皮卡丘！》的声控游戏，这是数字语音处理技术的重要开端。游戏技术也在对其他行业产生正外部性。比如汽车产业为了提升安全性能，就从游戏产业吸纳人才和技术，在汽车开发阶段应用模拟软件进行演算，从而提升汽车的安全系数。马斯克创立的人工智能实验室 OpenAl 去年甚至开源了一套通过《侠盗猎车手》学习的自动驾驶的系统。游戏产业在本质上是一个技术生态，它横跨了显示技术、渲染技术、基础通讯、图形处理、AI、云等多个交叉领域。以游戏渲染引擎为例，它是构建3D可交互实时渲染虚拟世界的基础，最早起源于约翰·卡马克1993年发明的id tech引擎。目前主流的开源游戏渲染引擎为Unity和Unreal，他们分别来属于美国的Unity和Epic公司。市面上超过70%的游戏基于这两个引擎制作，包括众多国内玩家期待的《黑神话：悟空》，而国内在这一领域尚处于起步阶段，差距较大。今天，国家和社会或许到了从战略层面重估游戏产业价值的时候，当游戏进入VR和AR为基础的元宇宙阶段，游戏产业的格局和生态也在快速、复杂的演化。这在某种意义上给了中国游戏从业者一个新的竞争机会。当我们以下一个计算平台切入点的战略高度重新审视游戏的时候，在新一轮科技竞争中或许我们将占据更有利的位置。五、云游戏布局也是微软出手的一个重要考量毫无疑问，云游戏是这个行业激动人心的重要方向。从某种意义上，未来的游戏不会有移动游戏、PC 游戏与主机游戏区分，任何网速够快的显示终端都可以玩到高质量的3A大作。而5G、云计算技术以及相关配套设施的成熟会推动云游戏逐渐从概念走向主流玩家，云游戏有潜力成 5G 最早商用落地的重要应用场景之一。它的主要特点就是摆脱终端的限制、不受制于本地硬件算力、随时随地可玩。正因为其明显的优势，于是全球主流游戏企业都将目光和资源投向该领域——2015年，索尼收购OnLive 推出Playstation Now，允许PS4用户通过串流方式运行旗下游戏；2017年英伟达在个人电脑市场推出了云游戏服务GeForce Now；2018 年，微软公布其云游戏服务Project xCloud；2019年GDC 大会谷歌发布Stadia云游戏平台。然而，从目前的体验来看，大部分云游戏在实际体验中还没有表现出明显的优势。这背后的原因还是产业和基础技术尚未普及和成熟，普通消费者很难达到厂商们苛刻的网络条件，但业界依然对云游戏的方向和趋势充满信心。在这次收购的公告中，微软游戏的掌门人菲尔・斯宾塞有如下表述——“动视暴雪的加入也将进一步加快我们 Xbox 云游戏的计划进程，让世界各地更多的人能通过手机、平板电脑、笔记本电脑和其它现有设备加入 Xbox 游戏社区。”可以看到，微软希望暴雪的加入能让其在激烈的云游戏竞争中获得优势。事实上，云游戏的优化本身就需要工作室和游戏平台足够密切的配合和测试。有媒体报道，谷歌的 Stadia 云游戏平台上线之后口碑不佳其中一个重要原因在于第三方游戏工作室和谷歌的合作中将云游戏的优先级排列的相对较低。而动视暴雪如今成为微软的第一方工作室将有效减少其云游戏开发和沟通的成本，我们有足够的理由相信这次收购会加速微软的云游戏布局。六、打造游戏界的迪斯尼 ——IP是这次收购的重要意义。很多人认为暴雪现在在走下坡路，核心员工离职率高，微软的这笔买卖并不划算。然而微软看中的正是动视暴雪背后海量的游戏IP。你以为微软买的是《使命召唤》、《黑暗破坏神》、《魔兽争霸》、《守望先锋》，其实它买的是这些游戏背后代表的海量玩家忠诚度和未来的衍生潜力。暴雪的IP力量有多强？我们从魔兽世界的衍生电影就能看出端倪——作为21世纪的重要流行文化符号，根据游戏魔兽世界衍生的电影《魔兽》在全球范围内狂揽4.38 亿美元票房。其中超过2亿美元来中国市场，至今它依然是电影史上票房最高的游戏改编电影。打造IP航母——微软买下买下Bethesda Softworksh、买下《Minecraft》、买下动视暴雪和迪斯尼买下卢卡斯影业、买下皮克斯、买下漫威、买下20世纪福克斯的底层逻辑是相同的。微软的雄心就是成为游戏领域的迪士尼。无论技术如何进步、游戏如何发展，行业的核心还是具有感染力的优质内容。被时间证明过的优质 IP 无疑让曾经因为IP荒而在与索尼的竞争中处于下风的微软站到了内容金字塔的顶端。IP的重要价值的在于它的抽象性，它不受限于任何展示形式和设备，因此它在某种意义上能在长周期博弈中起到护城河的作用。IP对于游戏产业的重要性，我们可以从任天堂的案例中略窥一二——任天堂的主机在硬件性能层面远低于它同时代的竞争对手，然而正是由于超级马里奥、宝可梦精灵等一大批炙手可热的超级IP，让任天堂依然笑傲游戏市场。2016年任天堂旗下IP宝可梦授权研发的AR手游《Pokemon GO》在全球范围内获得了现象级的成功，IP力量可见一斑。七、尾声从更宏观的视角，人类社会就是一个大型的游戏，人生如戏，这个“戏”在今天我们可以理解为游戏。随着基础技术的进步，虚拟和现实边界毫无疑问会继续变得模糊，人类向游戏世界的大迁徙的进程在过去、现在和未来都不会停止。没错，查理*布兰森说，一切行业都是创意行业。简*麦戈尼格尔的《游戏改变世界》一书写道：3000年前小亚细亚的居民为了抵抗大饥荒，他们选择一天进食第二天则玩游戏来抵御饥饿感。是滴，对游戏的热爱深深地印刻在人类与生俱来的的基因中。“眺望互联网的远方，有两个脉络隐隐呈现——第一， 协作的机制从强制变成自由；第二，劳动的动机从自利变成游戏。所以，\"游戏\"二字正在发生历史性的蜕变，游戏将不仅是游戏，它可能是我们未来生活的全部图景。”一位资深媒体人2014年的这个判断在未来大概率会变成现实。很显然，微软比其他巨头更深刻地理解这一点。","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"ATVI":0.9,"MSFT":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":478,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9007968980,"gmtCreate":1642739467361,"gmtModify":1676533742238,"author":{"id":"3570400052929996","authorId":"3570400052929996","name":"Huangwei","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89be5114c1e790b27ceba546fd6c9abb","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570400052929996","idStr":"3570400052929996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":",,,","listText":",,,","text":",,,","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9007968980","repostId":"2205673011","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2205673011","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1642733342,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2205673011?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-21

The Federal Reserve said it would only take the move if it had the support of elected U.S. leaders.</p><p><h2>Support faction</h2>Proponents of the launch of a digital dollar argue that the Fed's digital dollar can make money move through the financial system faster and less expensively, bring unbanked people into banks, and provide governments with an effective way to distribute financial assistance.</p><p>Moreover, the central bank directly adjusts the interest rate of CDBC account, which may help improve the effectiveness of monetary policy. This could allow central banks to bypass the often-fickle financial markets and bring monetary policy directly to the retail level.</p><p>According to the Wall Street Journal, in September this year, Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainard said in a speech at the National Association of Business Economics that the more important reason is to keep up with other countries that are considering using digital currencies in domestic and international payments.</p><p>She said: \"Considering the dominance of the US dollar in international payments, it is hard for me to imagine that the United States will not launch a digital currency scheme under such circumstances.\"</p><p><h2>Opposition</h2>However, Powell said he sees reason to be cautious. He said last year that it is more important to use the digital dollar correctly than to enter the market first, because the dollar plays a vital role globally.</p><p>He and other Fed officials said the Fed's current research is still early and exploratory.</p><p>At the same time, Powell also pointed out other challenges, such as the active use and preference of cash by many Americans; There are also online privacy concerns that need to be addressed because the Federal Reserve's CBDC system allows the central bank to see how each user is using the currency.</p><p>A report by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia warned that the U.S. central bank CBDC could destabilize the financial system if it pulls money out of banks, mutual funds, stocks and other investments during a crisis.</p><p><h2>Not yet concluded</h2>The digital currency white paper states<b>\"It is not intended to push for a specific policy outcome and does not take any position on the ultimate desirability of the digital dollar.\"</b>, \"The introduction of the digital dollar will represent a very significant innovation for the U.S. currency, so extensive consultation with the public and key stakeholders is crucial. This report is the first step in advancing this dialogue.\"</p><p>According to CNBC, the Federal Reserve stated that it will not continue to advance this project without explicit authorization from Congress, and the Federal Reserve is more inclined to advance the project in the form of a \"specific authorization law.\"</p><p>However, the Federal Reserve is currently developing an \"all-weather payment and settlement service\" called \"Fed Now\", which is expected to go online in 2023.</p><p></body></html></p>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n<p> source：<a

Brainard在全美商业经济协会发表讲话时表示，更重要的原因是——跟上其他正在考虑在国内和国际支付中使用数字货币的国家的步伐。她说：“考虑到美元在国际支付中的主导地位，我很难想象在这种情况下，美国不会推出数字货币的方案。”反对派不过，鲍威尔表示，他认为有理由保持谨慎。他在去年曾表示，与率先进入市场相比，正确使用数字美元更为重要，因为美元在全球扮演着至关重要的角色。他和其他美联储官员表示，美联储目前的研究还处于早期和探索性阶段。同时，鲍威尔还指出了其他一些挑战，比如许多美国人积极使用并偏爱现金；还有一些网络隐私问题需要解决，因为美联储的CBDC系统可以让央行看到每个用户使用货币的情况。费城联邦储备银行的一份报告警告称，如果美国央行CBDC在危机中将资金撤出银行、共同基金、股票和其他投资，可能会破坏金融体系的稳定。尚未得出结论数字货币白皮书指出“并不打算推动一个具体的政策结果，对数字美元的最终可取性不持任何立场。”、“引入数字美元将代表美国货币的一项非常重大的创新，因此，与公众和主要利益相关者进行广泛协商至关重要。这篇报告是推进这种对话的第一步”。据CNBC，美联储表示，如果没有国会的明确授权，将不会继续推进这个项目，美联储也更倾向于以“特定授权法”的形式推进项目。不过，目前美联储已经在开发一项名为“Fed Now”的“全天候支付和结算服务”，预计将于2023年上线。","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{".IXIC":1,".DJI":1,"EBON":1,"SPY":1}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":746,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9004798345,"gmtCreate":1642686678312,"gmtModify":1676533735335,"author":{"id":"3570400052929996","authorId":"3570400052929996","name":"Huangwei","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89be5114c1e790b27ceba546fd6c9abb","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570400052929996","idStr":"3570400052929996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"！","listText":"！","text":"！","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9004798345","repostId":"2204746093","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":540,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":385513619,"gmtCreate":1613563168731,"gmtModify":1704882067975,"author":{"id":"3570400052929996","authorId":"3570400052929996","name":"Huangwei","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89be5114c1e790b27ceba546fd6c9abb","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570400052929996","idStr":"3570400052929996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a

The engine of performance growth.</p><p>In the past few years, JD Logistics and JD Health have successively IPO, and JD Technology, which changed its head and face from JD Digital, has become the only sub-group in the \"troika\" that has not been spun off and listed. From this perspective, it is not surprising that JD.COM wants to promote the IPO plan as soon as possible.</p><p><b>However, after experiencing a series of shocks such as the blockage of the IPO in science and technology innovation board, the major adjustment of the business model, and the departure of core executives, we can't help but ask: Has JD Technology really found its own way?</b></p><p><b>The Science and Technology Innovation Board has failed in the past six months: De-financialization is the top priority of JD Technology</b></p><p>In fact, this is not the first time that JD Technology has been linked to listing.</p><p>In September 2020, JD Digital Technology Holdings Co., Ltd., the predecessor of JD Technology, JD Digital, officially submitted an IPO application to the Shanghai Stock Exchange and plans to list on the Science and Technology Innovation Board. At that time, JD Digital had been established for seven years. After the transformation of its business model from digital finance to financial technology, and then to digital technology, it already had a certain market position in the industry, and it was logical to go public.</p><p>However, this super unicorn with a valuation of 200 billion failed to successfully win the ticket to the secondary market. In March last year, JD Digital announced the withdrawal of its IPO application, and the Shanghai Stock Exchange also decided to terminate the review process.</p><p><b>It is worth mentioning that JD Digital's withdrawal of its IPO application is just a microcosm of the wave of technology companies terminating their listings at the beginning of last year.</b>Data searched by the Value Research Institute (ID: jiazhiyanjiusuo) shows that as of March 31, a total of 32 companies have announced the withdrawal of IPO applications on the Science and Technology Innovation Board. In addition to JD Digital, there are also star unicorns such as folding screen giant Royole Technology and Yitu Technology, one of the \"AI Four Little Dragons\".</p><p>There are no more than two reasons for the large-scale termination of IPOs by technology-based enterprises: First, the IPO review is strict, and the CSRC intends to strengthen market supervision, which also puts forward higher requirements for the financial data of companies applying for listing; Second, affected by the market environment and relevant policies, the management of relevant companies is turbulent and their business changes are too large, so they have to readjust their listing plans.</p><p>For JD Digital, the latter factor obviously has a greater impact.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ac28d22ca0d35b69c4f294bfb27526e\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"611\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>According to the prospectus submitted by JD Digital at that time, among its main sources of revenue, financial technology-related businesses accounted for a very high proportion. The data shows that during the reporting period, JD Digits served more than 600 banks, insurance, funds, trusts, and securities institutions. In terms of revenue proportion, the digital solution revenue brought by these more than 600 financial institutions accounts for 41.48% of the total revenue, making it the second largest revenue source of JD Digital.</p><p>Although merchant and enterprise digital solutions contribute 52.37% of JD Digital's revenue and are the most important cash cow, this is based on more than 1 million small and micro merchants, more than 200,000 small and medium-sized enterprises, and more than 700 large-scale merchants. Based on the huge customer base of the business center.<b>In other words, when it comes to the income value of a single customer, financial institutions such as banks and funds are the most important funders of JD Digits.</b></p><p>However, I believe everyone will never forget the great earthquakes in technology and finance industry in the past two years. First, the official media severely criticized Internet financial institutions for encouraging advanced consumption, and then<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/06688\">Ant Group</a>The listing plan was suspended, and JD Finance was criticized by the media and netizens for controversial advertisements... This series of negative events has profoundly changed the fate of JD Digital.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/92acd78bce16623c45941894b5b52d61\" tg-width=\"991\" tg-height=\"762\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>(Picture from JD Digital Prospectus)</p><p>In view of this, in the past year, JD Digits has devoted itself to reducing its financial attributes through various means: from name change to executive reshuffle, to business model adjustment, JD can be said to have exhausted eighteen efforts.</p><p>As early as January 31, JD Group announced that it would integrate JD Digital and JD Cloud with the AI Division to form a brand-new JD Technology sub-group, officially replacing JD Digital as the core platform for JD to export technical services.</p><p>Objectively speaking, the most direct reason why JD Digital withdrew its IPO on the Science and Technology Innovation Board is this name change and business restructuring. But from the standpoint of JD.com, the name change is just the beginning, and the withdrawal of the IPO application is also unexpected. Under the public opinion and policy environment at that time, the road to listing of JD.com Digital is destined to be not smooth, and it is better to have a drastic reform. Pave the way for future development.</p><p>Although JD Digital announced as early as 2018 that it would upgrade its financial technology strategy to a digital technology strategy, in the view of the Value Research Institute,<b>It was not until January last year that JD Technology changed its name and merged into JD Cloud and AI business that JD Technology really embarked on the road of industrial digital reform.</b></p><p>In the months after the name change and IPO withdrawal, JD Technology also started a round of large-scale personnel adjustments to further dilute its financial color:</p><p>Chen Shengqiang, the former CEO of JD Digital, retreated to the second line, and Li Yayun, then chief compliance officer of JD Group, was in charge of the seal; Xu Ling, the head of JD Technology Financial Institution, known as the \"Father of Baitiao\", was also transferred to the CSO business department of the group as the head of the strategic planning department. Li Bo, the former head of the corporate finance business department of the secondary department of JD Financial Technology Group, took over Xu Ling's position. It is reported that Li Bo has more than 20 years of working experience in the traditional banking system and has a deep understanding of industry regulations and regulatory systems. All in all, a series of work of JD Technology is moving closer to compliance, trying to minimize the risks that technology and finance business may bring to itself.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/91fb046b1da1426f672fdbabc77301bb\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"630\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>(Image via UNsplash)</p><p>After this year's adjustment, the financial content of JD Technology has been greatly reduced, which has indeed cleared the way for re-listing. But from the perspective of its own development, the performance is under pressure, the cost is high, and the pain of transformation has not yet passed. Is now really a good time to go public?</p><p>We can't help but ask a question mark.</p><p><b>With high costs and unstable performance, what does JD Technology rely on to impress capital?</b></p><p>Regarding the listing rumors, JD Technology's official response is \"no comment\". However, according to the announcement on the official website of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, JD Technology has submitted the application for \"Approval of Overseas Initial Public Offering of Shares\" on January 21st, and has now entered the data receiving process.</p><p>In the view of the Value Research Institute, the official response without comment may mean that JD Technology wants to keep a low profile and be cautious about listing-related matters. With the lessons learned from the past in science and technology innovation board, keeping a low profile is not a bad thing for JD Technology.</p><p>After all, although it has avoided regulatory risks by making a makeover and reducing the content of financial business, JD Technology still has many problems to solve in terms of profit model and cost control, and it is not so easy to conquer the capital market.</p><p><b>On the one hand, the high operating and R&D costs of JD Technology have put great pressure on revenue.</b></p><p>According to the financial report data released by JD.com, since the strategy of transforming to technology was proposed in 2017, the JD.com system has invested nearly 75 billion yuan in technology research and development in the past four years. Logistics and digital technology are the main burners of money. big households. In addition, the cloud computing and AI businesses merged into JD Technology are also in the climbing stage, and they also need to continue to burn money for research and development. Compared with the JD Digital prospectus previously submitted to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, its latest revenue in 2019 slightly exceeded 18 billion, and the profit pressure cannot be ignored in the face of huge R&D investment.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/06e99ea473aefb92e91524273f995eaa\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"704\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>(Image via UNsplash)</p><p>Fortunately, behind the huge R&D investment, we can still see JD.com's progress in digital technology. At the JD.com Global Technology Explorer Conference held in November last year, JD.com announced nearly a hundred latest digital and cloud technology achievements, including many high-end technologies in the fields of AI and cloud computing such as quantum computing, quantum communication and sensing technology.</p><p><b>But on the other hand, with good technology, how to turn it into profits-that is, to improve the commercialization level of JD Technology and expand new customers outside financial institutions-is also an unavoidable problem.</b></p><p>In the era of JD.com's digital technology, according to official data, as of the first half of 2020, financial technology business revenue related to white bars and gold bars accounted for 42.89% of JD.com's total technology service revenue, a further increase from 37.74% in the same period of the previous fiscal year. Although JD Technology has not released new revenue data since then, its revenue will inevitably be greatly affected after implementing a series of operations such as reducing the proportion of financial business and weakening the attributes of financial technology.</p><p>As for the JD Cloud and AI businesses that have been merged into it, it is difficult to hide all the problems. According to Wind statistics, when JD Group was divested and merged into JD Technology, the total valuation of JD Cloud and AI business was only about US $2.4 billion, which was less than 10% of the pre-listing valuation of JD Digital, and the gap was quite obvious..</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0203efcd71f6b23b27f1ec07b5c3916f\" tg-width=\"1075\" tg-height=\"775\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>According to the Value Research Institute,<b>If JD Technology wants to achieve truly independent development and healthy growth in the \"post-financial era\", it must get out of its comfort zone and tap new increments, especially play the two cards of cloud services and AI.</b></p><p>As early as 2018, when Liu Qiangdong adjusted the positioning of JD Digital from financial technology to digital technology, he said that JD would become a technology supply chain service company:</p><p>\"We are not an e-commerce company, but a technology and service enterprise based on the supply chain.\" In fact, both cloud services and AI industries still have great growth potential, but the competition is also fierce. According to a report released by IDC, an international data agency, as of the first half of last year, China's IaaS and PaaS public cloud market totaled US $9.546 billion, a year-on-year increase of 48.6%. Among the top cloud service providers, Alibaba Cloud and<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/00700\">Tencent</a>Cloud occupies 37.9% and 11.2% of the market share respectively, ranking firmly in the top two.</p><p>Behind Ali and Tencent, although the seats of Huawei Cloud and Tianyi Cloud often change, they are basically at the forefront. Plus those who are working hard<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BIDU\">Baidu</a>Cloud, and ByteDance, which announced its high-profile entry into the cloud computing market last year, the cloud service track is becoming more and more crowded.</p><p>To become China's fifth cloud, does JD.com still have a chance?</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2cf2066aabc78a1b4be02e46b23e9025\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"801\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>(Image from IDC)</p><p><b>To avoid Alibaba's limelight, JD Technology needs to find another way</b></p><p>According to the global cloud computing IaaS market tracking data released by Gartner in April last year, as of 2020, JD Cloud ranked fifth in China in market share, catching up with<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon</a>。 In terms of growth rate, JD Cloud ranks among the top three among the top ten cloud service providers, showing a good development speed.</p><p>But in the face of the overwhelming advantage of leading cloud service vendors, especially the old enemy Ali, this performance is far from enough.</p><p>As mentioned earlier, Alibaba Cloud's first-mover advantage in the domestic basic cloud/public cloud market is almost unshakable, and its market share is far ahead. Whether it is JD.com, the ambitious ByteDance, or Baidu, it is difficult for these latecomers to leverage Ali's dominance. According to the Value Research Institute,<b>If JD.com wants to overtake in a corner, it must avoid Ali's sharpness and find the right focus: for example, promoting the combination and coordinated development of cloud computing and AI, and giving full play to JD.com's advantages in the real economy.</b></p><p><b>On the one hand, JD Technology has experience in serving JD's self-operated retail and logistics systems, and has differentiated and scenario-based advantages.</b>Serving the real economy with digital technology is the common goal of various cloud service giants such as JD.com, Alibaba, and Tencent. JD.com, which has always emphasized the quality of its own real economy, is naturally unwilling to be left behind.</p><p>For example, the transformation of the physical retail industry by AI and cloud computing has brought many surprises to JD.com itself. During last year's 618 period, the C2M reverse customization system supported by AI technology helped JD.com achieve the goal of increasing the transaction volume of 1,000 new categories by 100% year-on-year, and the sales of 100 new categories exceeded 100 million. But in the future, JD Technology needs to further \"untie\" from JD.com and open up more external customers.</p><p>Unlike Ali, which is based on the public cloud, JD Cloud's auxiliary effect on the self-operated retail system is visible to the naked eye, and it has the foundation to provide targeted services to other retail customers. Other scenario-based services in fields such as smart logistics, infrastructure, and warehousing are also opportunities that JD Technology cannot ignore. As Gao Liqiang, president of JD Technology JD Cloud Business Group, said:</p><p>\"JD.com is a procurement and sales model, which means that JD.com has a strong connection relationship with brand owners and manufacturing companies, and can master first-hand industrial experience.\" And these experiences and targeted services are exactly what corporate customers need.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81b1c90ea9d8b123ac68f04131310cdd\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"682\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>(Image via Pixabay)</p><p>On the other hand, focusing on cloud technology + AI<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/5RE.SI\">smart</a>The cloud industry has made great progress in the past few years-<b>The integration of AI and JD Cloud business into JD Technology just reflects JD's ambition for this market and its determination to promote the integration of these two cutting-edge technologies.</b></p><p>At the World Artificial Intelligence Conference held in July last year, JD.com showed its newly developed AI technology full-stack products and digital solutions to the outside world. This is JD.com's latest attempt in the coordinated development of cloud computing and AI technology. The JD Zhizao Cloud Project, which was also unveiled at this conference, shoulders the important task of JD Technology's commercialization exploration in the field of AI + cloud computing.</p><p>According to the official statement of JD.com, JD.com Zhizao Cloud has been commercialized in the Yangtze River Delta region, which has played a role in helping enterprises achieve intelligent production, flexible production, and cost reduction.</p><p>It should be noted that although JD Cloud started late and its market share cannot be compared with Ali and Tencent, its computing power foundation is not bad at all. Data shows that JD Cloud currently has more than 2 million Docker containers, making it one of the largest Docker clusters in the world, which can ensure super computing power. Excellent computing power is the basis for supporting JD Technology's integrated research and development of cloud technology and AI technology.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0301664e40052d8c97e48d96a826b91f\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"693\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>(Image from official website, JD Technology)</p><p><b>Of course, JD Technology can do better in the integration of cloud and AI, and its service scope also has more room for extension-especially in urban infrastructure and government platform services.</b></p><p>According to official data, the number of urban public service institutions currently served by JD.COM is 40 +, which is not large. SenseTime, whose stock price continued to rise sharply after successfully landing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at the end of last year, relies on its smart city business in cooperation with public service agencies and local governments to support nearly 50% of its revenue, demonstrating the huge potential of this market.</p><p>Although JD.com and SenseTime have great differences in business models and service scope, their pursuits are similar: to build the \"smart brain\" of modern cities and promote the digital upgrade of urban management systems through technological means such as cloud computing and AI..

The engine of performance growth.</p><p>In the past few years, JD Logistics and JD Health have successively IPO, and JD Technology, which changed its head and face from JD Digital, has become the only sub-group in the \"troika\" that has not been spun off and listed. From this perspective, it is not surprising that JD.COM wants to promote the IPO plan as soon as possible.</p><p><b>However, after experiencing a series of shocks such as the blockage of the IPO in science and technology innovation board, the major adjustment of the business model, and the departure of core executives, we can't help but ask: Has JD Technology really found its own way?</b></p><p><b>The Science and Technology Innovation Board has failed in the past six months: De-financialization is the top priority of JD Technology</b></p><p>In fact, this is not the first time that JD Technology has been linked to listing.</p><p>In September 2020, JD Digital Technology Holdings Co., Ltd., the predecessor of JD Technology, JD Digital, officially submitted an IPO application to the Shanghai Stock Exchange and plans to list on the Science and Technology Innovation Board. At that time, JD Digital had been established for seven years. After the transformation of its business model from digital finance to financial technology, and then to digital technology, it already had a certain market position in the industry, and it was logical to go public.</p><p>However, this super unicorn with a valuation of 200 billion failed to successfully win the ticket to the secondary market. In March last year, JD Digital announced the withdrawal of its IPO application, and the Shanghai Stock Exchange also decided to terminate the review process.</p><p><b>It is worth mentioning that JD Digital's withdrawal of its IPO application is just a microcosm of the wave of technology companies terminating their listings at the beginning of last year.</b>Data searched by the Value Research Institute (ID: jiazhiyanjiusuo) shows that as of March 31, a total of 32 companies have announced the withdrawal of IPO applications on the Science and Technology Innovation Board. In addition to JD Digital, there are also star unicorns such as folding screen giant Royole Technology and Yitu Technology, one of the \"AI Four Little Dragons\".</p><p>There are no more than two reasons for the large-scale termination of IPOs by technology-based enterprises: First, the IPO review is strict, and the CSRC intends to strengthen market supervision, which also puts forward higher requirements for the financial data of companies applying for listing; Second, affected by the market environment and relevant policies, the management of relevant companies is turbulent and their business changes are too large, so they have to readjust their listing plans.</p><p>For JD Digital, the latter factor obviously has a greater impact.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ac28d22ca0d35b69c4f294bfb27526e\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"611\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>According to the prospectus submitted by JD Digital at that time, among its main sources of revenue, financial technology-related businesses accounted for a very high proportion. The data shows that during the reporting period, JD Digits served more than 600 banks, insurance, funds, trusts, and securities institutions. In terms of revenue proportion, the digital solution revenue brought by these more than 600 financial institutions accounts for 41.48% of the total revenue, making it the second largest revenue source of JD Digital.</p><p>Although merchant and enterprise digital solutions contribute 52.37% of JD Digital's revenue and are the most important cash cow, this is based on more than 1 million small and micro merchants, more than 200,000 small and medium-sized enterprises, and more than 700 large-scale merchants. Based on the huge customer base of the business center.<b>In other words, when it comes to the income value of a single customer, financial institutions such as banks and funds are the most important funders of JD Digits.</b></p><p>However, I believe everyone will never forget the great earthquakes in technology and finance industry in the past two years. First, the official media severely criticized Internet financial institutions for encouraging advanced consumption, and then<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/06688\">Ant Group</a>The listing plan was suspended, and JD Finance was criticized by the media and netizens for controversial advertisements... This series of negative events has profoundly changed the fate of JD Digital.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/92acd78bce16623c45941894b5b52d61\" tg-width=\"991\" tg-height=\"762\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>(Picture from JD Digital Prospectus)</p><p>In view of this, in the past year, JD Digits has devoted itself to reducing its financial attributes through various means: from name change to executive reshuffle, to business model adjustment, JD can be said to have exhausted eighteen efforts.</p><p>As early as January 31, JD Group announced that it would integrate JD Digital and JD Cloud with the AI Division to form a brand-new JD Technology sub-group, officially replacing JD Digital as the core platform for JD to export technical services.</p><p>Objectively speaking, the most direct reason why JD Digital withdrew its IPO on the Science and Technology Innovation Board is this name change and business restructuring. But from the standpoint of JD.com, the name change is just the beginning, and the withdrawal of the IPO application is also unexpected. Under the public opinion and policy environment at that time, the road to listing of JD.com Digital is destined to be not smooth, and it is better to have a drastic reform. Pave the way for future development.</p><p>Although JD Digital announced as early as 2018 that it would upgrade its financial technology strategy to a digital technology strategy, in the view of the Value Research Institute,<b>It was not until January last year that JD Technology changed its name and merged into JD Cloud and AI business that JD Technology really embarked on the road of industrial digital reform.</b></p><p>In the months after the name change and IPO withdrawal, JD Technology also started a round of large-scale personnel adjustments to further dilute its financial color:</p><p>Chen Shengqiang, the former CEO of JD Digital, retreated to the second line, and Li Yayun, then chief compliance officer of JD Group, was in charge of the seal; Xu Ling, the head of JD Technology Financial Institution, known as the \"Father of Baitiao\", was also transferred to the CSO business department of the group as the head of the strategic planning department. Li Bo, the former head of the corporate finance business department of the secondary department of JD Financial Technology Group, took over Xu Ling's position. It is reported that Li Bo has more than 20 years of working experience in the traditional banking system and has a deep understanding of industry regulations and regulatory systems. All in all, a series of work of JD Technology is moving closer to compliance, trying to minimize the risks that technology and finance business may bring to itself.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/91fb046b1da1426f672fdbabc77301bb\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"630\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>(Image via UNsplash)</p><p>After this year's adjustment, the financial content of JD Technology has been greatly reduced, which has indeed cleared the way for re-listing. But from the perspective of its own development, the performance is under pressure, the cost is high, and the pain of transformation has not yet passed. Is now really a good time to go public?</p><p>We can't help but ask a question mark.</p><p><b>With high costs and unstable performance, what does JD Technology rely on to impress capital?</b></p><p>Regarding the listing rumors, JD Technology's official response is \"no comment\". However, according to the announcement on the official website of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, JD Technology has submitted the application for \"Approval of Overseas Initial Public Offering of Shares\" on January 21st, and has now entered the data receiving process.</p><p>In the view of the Value Research Institute, the official response without comment may mean that JD Technology wants to keep a low profile and be cautious about listing-related matters. With the lessons learned from the past in science and technology innovation board, keeping a low profile is not a bad thing for JD Technology.</p><p>After all, although it has avoided regulatory risks by making a makeover and reducing the content of financial business, JD Technology still has many problems to solve in terms of profit model and cost control, and it is not so easy to conquer the capital market.</p><p><b>On the one hand, the high operating and R&D costs of JD Technology have put great pressure on revenue.</b></p><p>According to the financial report data released by JD.com, since the strategy of transforming to technology was proposed in 2017, the JD.com system has invested nearly 75 billion yuan in technology research and development in the past four years. Logistics and digital technology are the main burners of money. big households. In addition, the cloud computing and AI businesses merged into JD Technology are also in the climbing stage, and they also need to continue to burn money for research and development. Compared with the JD Digital prospectus previously submitted to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, its latest revenue in 2019 slightly exceeded 18 billion, and the profit pressure cannot be ignored in the face of huge R&D investment.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/06e99ea473aefb92e91524273f995eaa\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"704\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>(Image via UNsplash)</p><p>Fortunately, behind the huge R&D investment, we can still see JD.com's progress in digital technology. At the JD.com Global Technology Explorer Conference held in November last year, JD.com announced nearly a hundred latest digital and cloud technology achievements, including many high-end technologies in the fields of AI and cloud computing such as quantum computing, quantum communication and sensing technology.</p><p><b>But on the other hand, with good technology, how to turn it into profits-that is, to improve the commercialization level of JD Technology and expand new customers outside financial institutions-is also an unavoidable problem.</b></p><p>In the era of JD.com's digital technology, according to official data, as of the first half of 2020, financial technology business revenue related to white bars and gold bars accounted for 42.89% of JD.com's total technology service revenue, a further increase from 37.74% in the same period of the previous fiscal year. Although JD Technology has not released new revenue data since then, its revenue will inevitably be greatly affected after implementing a series of operations such as reducing the proportion of financial business and weakening the attributes of financial technology.</p><p>As for the JD Cloud and AI businesses that have been merged into it, it is difficult to hide all the problems. According to Wind statistics, when JD Group was divested and merged into JD Technology, the total valuation of JD Cloud and AI business was only about US $2.4 billion, which was less than 10% of the pre-listing valuation of JD Digital, and the gap was quite obvious..</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0203efcd71f6b23b27f1ec07b5c3916f\" tg-width=\"1075\" tg-height=\"775\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>According to the Value Research Institute,<b>If JD Technology wants to achieve truly independent development and healthy growth in the \"post-financial era\", it must get out of its comfort zone and tap new increments, especially play the two cards of cloud services and AI.</b></p><p>As early as 2018, when Liu Qiangdong adjusted the positioning of JD Digital from financial technology to digital technology, he said that JD would become a technology supply chain service company:</p><p>\"We are not an e-commerce company, but a technology and service enterprise based on the supply chain.\" In fact, both cloud services and AI industries still have great growth potential, but the competition is also fierce. According to a report released by IDC, an international data agency, as of the first half of last year, China's IaaS and PaaS public cloud market totaled US $9.546 billion, a year-on-year increase of 48.6%. Among the top cloud service providers, Alibaba Cloud and<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/00700\">Tencent</a>Cloud occupies 37.9% and 11.2% of the market share respectively, ranking firmly in the top two.</p><p>Behind Ali and Tencent, although the seats of Huawei Cloud and Tianyi Cloud often change, they are basically at the forefront. Plus those who are working hard<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BIDU\">Baidu</a>Cloud, and ByteDance, which announced its high-profile entry into the cloud computing market last year, the cloud service track is becoming more and more crowded.</p><p>To become China's fifth cloud, does JD.com still have a chance?</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2cf2066aabc78a1b4be02e46b23e9025\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"801\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>(Image from IDC)</p><p><b>To avoid Alibaba's limelight, JD Technology needs to find another way</b></p><p>According to the global cloud computing IaaS market tracking data released by Gartner in April last year, as of 2020, JD Cloud ranked fifth in China in market share, catching up with<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon</a>。 In terms of growth rate, JD Cloud ranks among the top three among the top ten cloud service providers, showing a good development speed.</p><p>But in the face of the overwhelming advantage of leading cloud service vendors, especially the old enemy Ali, this performance is far from enough.</p><p>As mentioned earlier, Alibaba Cloud's first-mover advantage in the domestic basic cloud/public cloud market is almost unshakable, and its market share is far ahead. Whether it is JD.com, the ambitious ByteDance, or Baidu, it is difficult for these latecomers to leverage Ali's dominance. According to the Value Research Institute,<b>If JD.com wants to overtake in a corner, it must avoid Ali's sharpness and find the right focus: for example, promoting the combination and coordinated development of cloud computing and AI, and giving full play to JD.com's advantages in the real economy.</b></p><p><b>On the one hand, JD Technology has experience in serving JD's self-operated retail and logistics systems, and has differentiated and scenario-based advantages.</b>Serving the real economy with digital technology is the common goal of various cloud service giants such as JD.com, Alibaba, and Tencent. JD.com, which has always emphasized the quality of its own real economy, is naturally unwilling to be left behind.</p><p>For example, the transformation of the physical retail industry by AI and cloud computing has brought many surprises to JD.com itself. During last year's 618 period, the C2M reverse customization system supported by AI technology helped JD.com achieve the goal of increasing the transaction volume of 1,000 new categories by 100% year-on-year, and the sales of 100 new categories exceeded 100 million. But in the future, JD Technology needs to further \"untie\" from JD.com and open up more external customers.</p><p>Unlike Ali, which is based on the public cloud, JD Cloud's auxiliary effect on the self-operated retail system is visible to the naked eye, and it has the foundation to provide targeted services to other retail customers. Other scenario-based services in fields such as smart logistics, infrastructure, and warehousing are also opportunities that JD Technology cannot ignore. As Gao Liqiang, president of JD Technology JD Cloud Business Group, said:</p><p>\"JD.com is a procurement and sales model, which means that JD.com has a strong connection relationship with brand owners and manufacturing companies, and can master first-hand industrial experience.\" And these experiences and targeted services are exactly what corporate customers need.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81b1c90ea9d8b123ac68f04131310cdd\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"682\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>(Image via Pixabay)</p><p>On the other hand, focusing on cloud technology + AI<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/5RE.SI\">smart</a>The cloud industry has made great progress in the past few years-<b>The integration of AI and JD Cloud business into JD Technology just reflects JD's ambition for this market and its determination to promote the integration of these two cutting-edge technologies.</b></p><p>At the World Artificial Intelligence Conference held in July last year, JD.com showed its newly developed AI technology full-stack products and digital solutions to the outside world. This is JD.com's latest attempt in the coordinated development of cloud computing and AI technology. The JD Zhizao Cloud Project, which was also unveiled at this conference, shoulders the important task of JD Technology's commercialization exploration in the field of AI + cloud computing.</p><p>According to the official statement of JD.com, JD.com Zhizao Cloud has been commercialized in the Yangtze River Delta region, which has played a role in helping enterprises achieve intelligent production, flexible production, and cost reduction.</p><p>It should be noted that although JD Cloud started late and its market share cannot be compared with Ali and Tencent, its computing power foundation is not bad at all. Data shows that JD Cloud currently has more than 2 million Docker containers, making it one of the largest Docker clusters in the world, which can ensure super computing power. Excellent computing power is the basis for supporting JD Technology's integrated research and development of cloud technology and AI technology.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0301664e40052d8c97e48d96a826b91f\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"693\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>(Image from official website, JD Technology)</p><p><b>Of course, JD Technology can do better in the integration of cloud and AI, and its service scope also has more room for extension-especially in urban infrastructure and government platform services.</b></p><p>According to official data, the number of urban public service institutions currently served by JD.COM is 40 +, which is not large. SenseTime, whose stock price continued to rise sharply after successfully landing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at the end of last year, relies on its smart city business in cooperation with public service agencies and local governments to support nearly 50% of its revenue, demonstrating the huge potential of this market.</p><p>Although JD.com and SenseTime have great differences in business models and service scope, their pursuits are similar: to build the \"smart brain\" of modern cities and promote the digital upgrade of urban management systems through technological means such as cloud computing and AI.. Based on AI giants such as SenseTime, JD Technology can also find many new increments in related digital infrastructure fields.</p><p><b>Write at the end</b></p><p>On January 24, JD Technology and the Wuhu Municipal People's Government signed a strategic cooperation agreement to build a local digital intelligent management platform for the latter and promote the development of Wuhu's smart home appliance/home industry.

价持续大涨的商汤科技，就靠着和公共服务机构、地方政府合作的智慧城市业务撑起近50%的营收，展现了该市场的庞大潜力。京东和商汤科技在业务模式、服务范围上固然有很大差异，但它们的追求是相似的：打造现代城市的“智慧大脑”，通过云计算和AI等科技手段促进城市管理体系的数字化升级。以商汤科技等AI巨头为蓝本，京东科技在相关数字基建领域，还能找到很多新增量。写在最后1月24日，京东科技和芜湖市人民政府签订战略合作协议，将为后者打造本地数智化管理平台，以及促进芜湖市智能家电/家居产业的发展。在当天举行的安徽国际国际家用电器暨消费电子博览会上，芜湖市经信局局长瞿辉谈到了京东科技给芜湖家电产业带来的帮助：“安徽已经将智能家电产业列为全省‘十四五’阶段重点发展的十大新兴产业之一，我们希望能借助京东集团深厚的技术积淀，合理推动当地智能家电/家居产业迈上发展新台阶。”价值研究所在此前的“复盘2021”系列中曾说过，在线上流量枯竭、反垄断政策趋紧等一系列因素的共同作用下，中国科技、互联网企业的未来必然要回归到“科技为王”时代。从这一系列合作中可以看到，京东科技一直在致力于开拓新战线、寻找新的增长空间。和政府机构携手，加大在数字产业的布局，也会是其日后的重要发展方向。而作为京东这个庞大商业帝国在科技领域的排头兵，京东科技的发展前景，自然值得我们期待。","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"JD":0.9,"09618":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":949,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9090120746,"gmtCreate":1643122034306,"gmtModify":1676533775978,"author":{"id":"3570400052929996","authorId":"3570400052929996","name":"Huangwei","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89be5114c1e790b27ceba546fd6c9abb","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570400052929996","idStr":"3570400052929996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hallo","listText":"Hallo","text":"Hallo","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9090120746","repostId":"1158028995","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1158028995","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"为用户提供金融资讯、行情、数据，旨在帮助投资者理解世界，做投资决策。","home_visible":1,"media_name":"老虎资讯综合","id":"102","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1643119787,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1158028995?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-25

Wall Street Insights and Wisdom Research will split it for everyone to see the impact of each factor on the price increase. As many terminal car companies explained when announcing price increases, the last reduction of new energy vehicle subsidies at the end of 2021 has indeed caused considerable cost pressure on new energy vehicle companies.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/82d1c5cbf5b78b3f2fe2da49a1df2360\" tg-width=\"865\" tg-height=\"472\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>On December 31, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the National Development and Reform Commission issued the \"Notice on Fiscal Subsidy Policies for the Promotion and Application of New Energy Vehicles in 2022\", clearly stating that the current technical indicator system framework and threshold requirements for purchase subsidies will remain unchanged in 2022, but new The subsidy standard for energy vehicles will be reduced by 30% on the basis of 2021.<b>From this perspective, the models of car companies currently announcing price increases are mostly concentrated in pure electric models and plug-in hybrid models with a cruising range greater than or equal to 400 kilometers. 2,000 yuan.

This directly leads to a sharp increase in the price of power batteries themselves and raw materials, which is bound to lead to a substantial increase in the cost of terminal new energy vehicles.<b>Before 2021, terminal car companies have absolute advantages over parts suppliers in terms of industrial chain status and voice, so they have cost requirements, which can lower the gross profit margin of parts suppliers, even the most core component power battery has also received an annual cost reduction of about 10% in the past few years</b>。</p><p>However, this price reduction trend has ushered in a change in 2021.

Hybrid models may become the dark horse of new energy vehicle sales in 2022.</p><p></body></html></p>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n<p> source：<a href=\"https://wallstreetcn.com/articles/3650505\">华尔街见闻</a></p>\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3ae2bbbf21100a97b333e824b88c56d3","relate_stocks":{"XPEV":"小鹏汽车","002594":"比亚迪"},"source_url":"https://wallstreetcn.com/articles/3650505","is_english":false,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2205071943","content_text":"2021年，新能源汽车行业以全年354.5万辆的销量，同比增长1.6倍的好成绩开启了新的销量增速元年。而2022年刚刚过去不到一个月，业内就屡次传来终端新能源汽车车企上调旗下车型的消息，这似乎展示了一个2022年新能源汽车将迎来全线涨价的信号：1）上周末，国内新能源汽车龙头公司比亚迪汽车表示，将对旗下王朝系列和海洋系列相关新能源车型的官方指导价进行调整，上调幅度为1000-7000元不等；2）造车新势力中在2021年稳住月销量破万辆的小鹏（涨价幅度在4300元至5900元），以及才崭露头角的哪吒（涨价幅度在2000元至5000元）、零跑（最低配车型涨价幅度在8000元-9000元）和极星（涨价幅度在5千元左右）等车企也进行了提价；3）正在进行转型新能源的传统车企如广汽（旗下埃安LX涨价了4000元）和大众（ID系列涨价5400元）也明显上调了价格；4）更不用说，在去年年底，全球新能源汽车龙头公司特斯拉就宣布Model 3和Model Y的后轮驱动版售价分别上调1万元和2.1万元。华尔街见闻·见智研究在本篇文章将试图解释两个问题：1）终端车企为何集体开始进行涨价？2）终端车企涨价后，影响又有多大？1、终端车企为何集体开始进行涨价？华尔街见闻·见智研究认为，由于涨价的车企旗下车型的设计、配置等方面都没有太大的变化，所以并不算优化了配置，所以车企提价最主要的原因就在于两点——补贴退坡和上游涨价，华尔街见闻·见智研究分别为大家拆分来看各自因素在涨价幅度中的影响占比。正如不少终端车企在宣布涨价的同时给出的解释，2021年年底新能源汽车补贴的最后一次退坡的确给新能源汽车车企造成了不小的成本压力。12月31日，财政部、工信部、科技部、发改委发布《关于2022年新能源汽车推广应用财政补贴政策的通知》，明确表示2022年保持现行购置补贴技术指标体系框架及门槛要求不变，但是新能源汽车补贴标准在2021年基础上退坡30%。从这个角度来看，目前宣布提价的车企旗下的车型多集中在续航里程大于或等于400公里的纯电动车型和插电式混合动力车型，前者退坡幅度达到5400元，后者补贴减少了2000元，对比来看，比亚迪由于是纯电动和插混销量双驱动，所以为满足各个车型，所以公布的涨价波段较大，而造车新势力和其他传统车型涨价幅度则基本上都是对照前者。值得一提的是，同样是造车新势力中的佼佼者理想、蔚来等公司，以及开发了国民神车五菱宏光mini EV的上汽通用五菱，小蚂蚁的奇瑞、好猫系列的长城汽车等传统车企目前却没有涨价公告，主要原因就在于售价高于30万元以上的高端新能源汽车，以及续航标准本身就不达标的车型如A00系车型，以及部分A0系车型本来就不在补贴范围内，所以不受影响。第二个原因则是2021年全年上游原材料大涨带来的肉眼可见的成本压力，动力电池作为新能源汽车最为重要的组成部分，其本身成本占整个新能源汽车成本的30%~40%，这就直接导致了动力电池自身以及原材料价格的大幅上涨，势必将引导着终端新能源汽车的成本的大幅增长。在2021年之前，终端车企对零部件供应商不管是产业链地位上还是话语权方面都有着绝对的优势，所以在成本方面有着要求，能够压低零部件供应商的毛利率，即使是最为核心的部件动力电池在过去几年中也接受每年10%左右的成本降幅。但是这个降价趋势在2021年迎来了改变，动力电池最为主流的两大路线中，磷酸铁锂（动力型）的价格从2021年年初的4万元/吨涨到年末的11.1万元/吨，涨幅高达177.5%；而三元材料最常用的三种型号523型，622型和811型的价格分别从年初的12.35万元/吨、14.55万元/吨和17万元/吨涨至年末的24.8万元/吨、26.6万元/吨和27.6万元/吨，涨幅分别为100%、83%和62%。这也使得2021年动力电池的价格不仅不会下降，还会上升。华尔街见闻·见智研究以今年较火的磷酸铁锂电池为例，正常来说1Gwh电池需要磷酸铁锂正极材料2200-2500吨左右，一辆新能源汽车以50KWH带电量来看，1GWH动力电池可以满足2万辆新能源汽车的需求，所以一辆车将消耗0.11吨至0.125吨磷酸铁锂正极材料，根据其高达177.5%涨幅的计算，每辆车成本或将上升7千元左右，当然这项成本和此前的补贴退坡导致的成本上升不同，补贴退坡的降低成本将由终端车企全部承担，而这项成本无法全额传导，动力电池厂商以及上游原材料厂商都需要共同承担，这也是为什么此前动力电池厂商迟迟不涨价的原因，几乎都是自己承担。2、终端车企涨价后，影响又有多大？新能源汽车终端车企集体涨价最为直接的影响就在于或将导致新能源汽车销量的回调，2021年除了春节扰动的2月，自二季度以来就一直处于月销量持续高增长的趋势，全年更是创下销量354.5万辆，同比增长1.6倍的历史新高记录，渗透率也接近15%。而销量的持续增长是建立在市场对于新能源汽车的逐渐认可上面，尤其是在如今新能源汽车的补能体系尚未完全满足消费者的需求，里程焦虑和安全隐患依旧存在，所以本身依靠较低价位、较高智能化和绿牌这三驾马车来提高性价比的新能源汽车突然加价，毫无疑问会对终端的销量造成一定的影响，这一点已经在部分车企的订单数量上有所体现。而进一步的数据证明将在1月份的新能源汽车销量出来之后进行验证，华尔街见闻·见智研究还会继续紧跟新能源汽车各大车企每月产量、销量、订单等数据情况，并及时和大家进行分析。除此之外，混合动力车型也有望迎来一波高景气度，在2021年的销量上已经有些许端倪，此前由于新能源补贴政策的偏好指引，双积分政策的影响，以及混合动力车型产品本身的技术复杂性，混合动力车型不管是HEV还是PHEV的销量与整体增速都远低于纯电动车型，终端车企也并未将其作为重点研发方向，而在2021年，混合动力汽车产销量分别达到59.8万辆和60万辆，同比增速高达162.4%和121.6%， 其中的佼佼者比亚迪的插电混动的销量更是达到272,935，同比增长467.62%，远超纯电动144.95%的增速。在2022年新能源汽车补贴进一步退坡后，混合动力车型受到的影响也是明显较纯电动要小，近期提价的车型也多为纯电动，插电混动即使有所提价，在涨价幅度和绝对值方面也是远远小于纯电动，叠加由于技术革新，发动机热效率提升，混合动力车型能解决消费者里程焦虑和补能的问题，混合动力车型或将有望成为2022年新能源汽车销量的黑马。","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"XPEV":0.9,"002594":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":612,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9007178413,"gmtCreate":1642815500995,"gmtModify":1676533749465,"author":{"id":"3570400052929996","authorId":"3570400052929996","name":"Huangwei","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89be5114c1e790b27ceba546fd6c9abb","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570400052929996","idStr":"3570400052929996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"...","listText":"...","text":"...","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9007178413","repostId":"1139117594","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1139117594","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1642766030,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1139117594?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-21 19:53","market":"us","language":"zh","title":"Microsoft's shocking acquisition is not that simple, this is a historic layout","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1139117594","media":"卫夕指北","summary":"微软在某种意义上看到了其他巨头没有看到的未来。","content":"<p><html><head></head><body>In the history of technological development, there are always some key nodes that affect the pattern and process of this industry, and Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard is such a moment of historical significance.</p><p>Most of us may still underestimate the significance of this acquisition. Microsoft sees a future that other giants don't in a sense.</p><p>It's about games and beyond games.</p><p>Many years later, when we look back at this shocking acquisition in 2022, we will find that it has already planted many important seeds for the future pattern of the industry.</p><p><b>1. Microsoft has a deeper understanding of the significance of games for the future than other giants</b></p><p>Without a doubt, Microsoft is an elephant that once finished dancing.</p><p>In 2000, the Windows department accounted for more than 60% of Microsoft's revenue composition. Let's take a look at Microsoft's 2020 financial report 20 years later-</p><p>Windows, as a sub-business of the \"personal computing\" division, together with Surface, games, search engines and advertising, only accounts for 32.2% of revenue.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c7ddbf76196f698527f4ed9dd3d86c38\" tg-width=\"550\" tg-height=\"389\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Distribution of Microsoft's revenue composition in recent years</p><p>Today, the other two major businesses from cloud computing are carrying the banner of revenue-the \"productivity and business process\" department and the \"intelligent cloud\" department.</p><p>The former includes Office365, Dynamics and LinkedIn, while the latter includes servers and enterprise services.</p><p>Yes, cloud services have deservedly surpassed Windows to become Microsoft's second curve, which is a miracle for Microsoft, which perfectly missed the Internet age.</p><p>So, here's the question-where is Microsoft's third curve?</p><p>I think this acquisition has given the answer in a sense-\"the game and the infinite possible future it represents\".</p><p>As an established technology company established in 1975, although Microsoft still stands at the top of the industry 45 years later, Microsoft, which has continuously missed the Internet and mobile Internet, has deep anxiety about the future.</p><p>Obviously, Microsoft is trying to make use of its abundant capital advantage to make a comprehensive layout in advance, so as to ensure that it is in an advantageous position in the competition of the next generation computing platform.</p><p><b>Second, the gold-swallowing beast or cash cow-Microsoft buys both the present and the future.</b></p><p>Nadella did change Microsoft in a sense. His miraculous operation saved this once slow-moving giant, and I can summarize his business style in eight words-\"clear goal and soft figure\".</p><p>When he was asked to expand the SaaS service of Office365, he quickly launched the iOS version of Office.</p><p>Nowadays, \"Microsoft is the best developer of iOS\" is both a joke and a partial fact, and the new operating system Windows 11 even allows users to download Google's Android apps directly from the Amazon App Store.</p><p>When Microsoft wants to expand cloud services, it has reached a rare cooperation with former competitors such as IBM and Oracle. Customers can migrate and run key data across Microsoft's Azure and Oracle Cloud.</p><p>At the same time, Microsoft, once absolutely closed, began to enthusiastically embrace open source systems today.</p><p>All these actions show the pragmatic side of Nadella, a low-key head.</p><p>Similarly, the acquisition of Blizzard also fully demonstrates Microsoft's pragmatism-focusing on the future but starting on the present.</p><p>For Microsoft, what it buys is both the present and the future.</p><p>From a short-term perspective, although the majority of players have criticized Activision Blizzard for its lack of innovation and corporate culture scandals in recent years, from a financial perspective, it is still a rare high-quality asset in the game field:</p><p>In 2020, revenue will be US $8.09 billion and profit will be US $2.19 billion; In the first three quarters of 2021, the revenue was US $9.05 billion and the profit was US $2.64 billion. This figure surpassed most outstanding companies in the game field.</p><p>Therefore, Microsoft's price of US $68.7 billion corresponds to 35 times the dynamic PE, which is not expensive.</p><p>What's more, Blizzard itself has as much as US $8.2 billion in cash on its books.</p><p>In this sense, Microsoft is buying a cash cow, not a gold-swallowing beast.</p><p>For Microsoft, the direct significance of the acquisition lies in reversing the disadvantage of Xbox console versus Sony PS console due to insufficient game content.</p><p>Of course, it is not easy for Microsoft to digest a behemoth like Activision Blizzard.</p><p>Judging from Microsoft's historical acquisition and integration performance, there are successes and failures: Skype and Nokia are undoubtedly failed acquisition and integration cases.</p><p>Of course, this happened before Nadella came to power, while other projects have performed relatively steadily so far.</p><p>The difficulty of Microsoft's integration of Activision Blizzard is that it is not an integration at a single business level. To give full play to its huge potential, it needs to be deeply and organically connected with Microsoft's intricate business departments.</p><p>This is a huge challenge even for the sophisticated Nadella.</p><p>I have criticized the original universe hype, but I don't deny the direction of technological development that metaverse represents.</p><p>The boundaries between virtual and real will undoubtedly become further blurred in the future.</p><p>Even Microsoft and Meta, which are at the forefront of metaverse development, actually lack sufficiently clear action steps for the specific implementation path of metaverse. The entire industry is crossing the river by feeling the stones, constantly trying and exploring.</p><p>Activision Blizzard has brought huge possibilities and imagination to Microsoft.</p><p><b>3. Activision Blizzard will fill the last piece of Microsoft's metaverse puzzle</b></p><p>There is no doubt that Microsoft is betting big on metaverse.</p><p>The construction of the metaverse itself is a huge and complex systematic project. Although its specific development path cannot be predicted, it must be combined with the following three levels of technologies-</p><p>The first is the hardware layer (VR/AR/, that is, input and output devices);</p><p>The second is to support basic technical facilities (cloud computing, basic computing power, digital twins, engine tools);</p><p>Finally, there is the application layer, that is, the specific operating system and specific applications.</p><p>Microsoft's layout at the above levels is the most comprehensive in a sense-</p><p>Its AR headset HoloLens is the underlying hardware layout and is currently the most leading personal device in the AR field.</p><p>In 2021, it received a huge order of US $21.9 billion from the U.S. Department of Defense at an extremely expensive price, and will develop more than 120,000 sets of AR helmets for the U.S. military in the next 10 years.</p><p>In April 2021, Microsoft announced the acquisition of Nuance for $19.7 billion, which is Microsoft's second largest acquisition after LinkedIn.</p><p>Nuance's core product is its language recognition engine, Dragon Anywhere, which uses deep learning to recognize speech. Apple's Siri and Samsung's S-Voice have all adopted Nuance's technology.</p><p>Why did Microsoft buy Nuance?</p><p>Because Microsoft believes that voice is one of the core interaction methods in the mixed reality industry, the acquisition will consolidate its technical foundation in the voice field.</p><p>At the Ignite conference held in November last year, Microsoft released a prototype metaverse product with avatar function-\"Mesh for Microsoft Teams\".</p><p>This product is mainly aimed at ordinary consumers. By connecting Mesh into Teams, it improves users' virtual experience, allowing users to collaborate in different places, hold meetings, and share holographic experiences through Teams.</p><p>Therefore, it can be seen that Microsoft has made preparations for metaverse in the entire industrial chain from hardware to basic technology to application layer.</p><p>The acquisition of Blizzard has pushed metaverse's application scenarios from office to entertainment.</p><p>The giants' judgments on metaverse's development vary greatly, but one thing is almost consistent-metaverse, the game comes first.</p><p>Today, Microsoft has made up the last puzzle of its metaverse layout through acquisitions.</p><p>In this regard, Microsoft CEO Nadella's attitude is direct and clear-</p><p>\"Gaming is currently the most dynamic and exciting entertainment category on all platforms today and will play a key role in the development of metaverse's platform.\"</p><p><b>4. The undervalued game industry behind the shocking acquisition</b></p><p>Obviously, Microsoft is playing a big game, and this shocking acquisition makes people have to think about an important question-</p><p>Why a game?</p><p>What is so special about the game industry?</p><p>Why will it become the breakthrough of the next computing platform?</p><p>It's time to rethink gaming and the future it represents, the gaming industry is somehow underrated in my opinion.</p><p>First of all, games affect the cultural competitiveness of a country in a sense.</p><p>In the 19th century, despite its rapid economic rise, the \"nouveau riche\" United States was a cultural desert in the eyes of Europeans.</p><p>Nowadays, the reason why the United States can become the hegemon of global pop culture is actually mainly due to the two entertainment pillar industries of movies and games.</p><p>In fact, as early as 2000, the American game industry surpassed the film industry in output value.</p><p>Young people in many countries around the world grew up playing CS, Red Alert, Dota and World of Warcraft, which have long become an important part of American cultural competitiveness.</p><p>Similarly, games and animation have become the two fortress industries of Japan's soft power export.</p><p>Before Microsoft launched Xbox in 2001, Japanese companies such as Sony, Nintendo and Sega firmly controlled the global game console market.</p><p>Super Mario, Contra and Pokémon have become the common memories of childhood and youth of a generation of young people around the world.</p><p>\"Soft power\" is a concept put forward by Joseph Nye, a professor at Harvard University, in 1990. It refers to national capabilities other than the economic, military and political fields.</p><p>Today, building a cultural power has become an important national strategy.</p><p>As an important part of global popular culture, the game industry with strong versatility and wide audience has full potential to become a bridgehead for China to export national soft power under the new scientific and technological pattern.</p><p>Fortunately, Chinese games have shown strong competitiveness and potential in the cultural overseas track.</p><p>According to data from the Game Working Committee, the overseas market sales revenue of China's self-developed games in 2020 will be US $15.45 billion, with a growth rate of 33.3%, which is higher than the industry average.</p><p>In addition to its cultural significance, games actually promote the continuous progress of science and technology itself.</p><p>In fact, in 1972, when Odyssey, the world's first home game console, was born, the personal computer had not yet been invented, and Jobs's first job was to work for Atari, a game company.</p><p>After PC became an industry, being able to play games has always been an important selling point of home computers.</p><p>In fact, the improvement of computer performance, especially graphics performance, is mainly driven by the continuous improvement of display accuracy in the game industry.</p><p>DOOM, launched by John Carmack, a talented American game programmer and father of 3D games, has been the main tool for performance testing of Nvidia's early new generation graphics cards for many years.</p><p>The rapid development of graphics cards and GPUs has unexpectedly become an important driving force for the computing power of artificial intelligence technology and blockchain technology in recent years.</p><p>In 1998, Nintendo launched a voice-activated game called Hello Pikachu! On NINTENDO 64, which was an important beginning of digital speech processing technology.</p><p>Gaming technology is also creating positive externalities to other industries.</p><p>For example, in order to improve the safety performance, the automobile industry absorbs talents and technology from the game industry, and applies simulation software to calculate in the automobile development stage, thus improving the safety factor of automobiles.</p><p>OpenAl, the artificial intelligence laboratory founded by Musk, even open sourced a set of self-driving systems learned through Grand Theft Auto last year.</p><p>The game industry is essentially a technological ecosystem, which spans multiple cross-cutting fields such as display technology, rendering technology, basic communication, graphics processing, AI, and cloud.</p><p>Take the game rendering engine as an example. It is the basis for building a 3D interactive real-time rendering virtual world. It originated from the id tech engine invented by John Carmack in 1993.</p><p>The current mainstream open source game rendering engines are Unity and Unreal, which belong to Unity and Epic companies in the United States respectively.</p><p>More than 70% of the games on the market are based on these two engines, including Black Myth: Wukong, which is expected by many domestic players. However, China is still in its infancy in this field, and there is a big gap.</p><p>Today, it may be time for the country and society to reevaluate the value of the game industry from a strategic level. When games enter the stage of metaverse based on VR and AR, the pattern and ecology of the game industry are also evolving rapidly and complexly.</p><p>In a sense, this gives Chinese game practitioners a new opportunity to compete.</p><p>When we re-examine the game from the strategic height of the next computing platform entry point, perhaps we will occupy a more favorable position in the new round of technological competition.</p><p><b>5. Cloud game layout is also an important consideration for Microsoft</b></p><p>There is no doubt that cloud gaming is an exciting and important direction for this industry.</p><p>In a sense, future games will not be distinguished from mobile games, PC games and console games. Any display terminal with fast enough network speed can play high-quality 3A masterpieces.</p><p>The maturity of 5G, cloud computing technology and related supporting facilities will promote cloud games to gradually move from concepts to mainstream players. Cloud games have the potential to become one of the earliest important application scenarios for commercial implementation of 5G.</p><p>Its main features are that it gets rid of the limitations of the terminal, is not subject to the computing power of local hardware, and can be played anytime and anywhere.</p><p>Because of its obvious advantages, mainstream game companies around the world have turned their attention and resources to this field-</p><p>In 2015, Sony acquired OnLive to launch Playstation Now, allowing PS4 users to run their games through streaming;</p><p>In 2017, Nvidia launched the cloud gaming service GeForce Now in the personal computer market;</p><p>In 2018, Microsoft announced its cloud gaming service Project xCloud;</p><p>Google releases Stadia cloud gaming platform at GDC 2019.</p><p>However, judging from the current experience, most cloud games have not shown obvious advantages in actual experience.</p><p>The reason behind this is that the industry and basic technologies have not yet been popularized and mature, and it is difficult for ordinary consumers to meet the harsh network conditions of manufacturers, but the industry is still full of confidence in the direction and trend of cloud games.</p><p>In the announcement of this acquisition, Phil Spencer, the head of Microsoft Games, made the following statement-</p><p>\"The addition of Activision Blizzard will also further accelerate our Xbox cloud gaming plans, allowing more people around the world to join the Xbox gaming community through mobile phones, tablets, laptops and other existing devices.\"</p><p>It can be seen that Microsoft hopes that the addition of Blizzard will give it an advantage in the fierce cloud gaming competition.</p><p>In fact, the optimization of cloud games itself requires close cooperation and testing between studios and game platforms.</p><p>According to media reports, one of the important reasons for the poor reputation of Google's Stadia cloud game platform after its launch is that the cooperation between third-party game studios and Google gives a relatively low priority to cloud games.</p><p>Activision Blizzard now becomes Microsoft's first-party studio, which will effectively reduce its cloud game development and communication costs. We have enough reasons to believe that this acquisition will accelerate Microsoft's cloud game layout.</p><p><b>6. Building Disney in the game industry-IP is the important significance of this acquisition.</b></p><p>Many people think that Blizzard is going downhill now, with a high turnover rate of core employees, and Microsoft's deal is not cost-effective.</p><p>However, what Microsoft is interested in is the massive game IP behind Activision Blizzard.</p><p>You think Microsoft is buying Call of Duty, Dark Wreck, Warcraft and Overwatch, but in fact it is buying the massive player loyalty and future derivative potential behind these games.</p><p>How powerful is Blizzard's IP power?</p><p>We can see the clue from the derivative movies of World of Warcraft-</p><p>As an important pop culture symbol in the 21st century, the movie \"Warcraft\" derived from the game World of Warcraft has grossed $438 million at the box office worldwide.</p><p>Among them, more than $200 million came to the Chinese market, and it is still the highest-grossing game adaptation film in film history.</p><p>Build an IP aircraft carrier-Microsoft bought Bethesda Softworksh, Minecraft, Activision Blizzard and Disney bought Lucasfilm, Pixar, Marvel, and 20th Century Fox The underlying logic is the same.</p><p>Microsoft's ambition is to become the Disney of gaming.</p><p>No matter how technology advances and how games evolve, the core of the industry is infectious and high-quality content.</p><p>The high-quality IP proven by time undoubtedly makes Microsoft, which was once at a disadvantage in the competition with Sony because of IP shortage, stand at the top of the content pyramid.</p><p>The important value of IP lies in its abstraction. It is not limited to any display form and equipment, so it can play the role of a moat in long-term games in a sense.</p><p>We can get a glimpse of the importance of IP to the game industry from the case of Nintendo-</p><p>Nintendo's console is far lower than its contemporary competitors in terms of hardware performance. However, it is precisely because of a large number of hot super IPs such as Super Mario and Pokémon Elf that Nintendo is still proud of the game market.</p><p>In 2016, the AR mobile game \"Pokemon GO\" authorized and developed by Nintendo's IP Pokémon achieved phenomenal success worldwide, which shows the power of IP.</p><p><b>7.

Microsoft sees a future that other giants don't in a sense.</p><p>It's about games and beyond games.</p><p>Many years later, when we look back at this shocking acquisition in 2022, we will find that it has already planted many important seeds for the future pattern of the industry.</p><p><b>1. Microsoft has a deeper understanding of the significance of games for the future than other giants</b></p><p>Without a doubt, Microsoft is an elephant that once finished dancing.</p><p>In 2000, the Windows department accounted for more than 60% of Microsoft's revenue composition. Let's take a look at Microsoft's 2020 financial report 20 years later-</p><p>Windows, as a sub-business of the \"personal computing\" division, together with Surface, games, search engines and advertising, only accounts for 32.2% of revenue.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c7ddbf76196f698527f4ed9dd3d86c38\" tg-width=\"550\" tg-height=\"389\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Distribution of Microsoft's revenue composition in recent years</p><p>Today, the other two major businesses from cloud computing are carrying the banner of revenue-the \"productivity and business process\" department and the \"intelligent cloud\" department.</p><p>The former includes Office365, Dynamics and LinkedIn, while the latter includes servers and enterprise services.</p><p>Yes, cloud services have deservedly surpassed Windows to become Microsoft's second curve, which is a miracle for Microsoft, which perfectly missed the Internet age.</p><p>So, here's the question-where is Microsoft's third curve?</p><p>I think this acquisition has given the answer in a sense-\"the game and the infinite possible future it represents\".</p><p>As an established technology company established in 1975, although Microsoft still stands at the top of the industry 45 years later, Microsoft, which has continuously missed the Internet and mobile Internet, has deep anxiety about the future.</p><p>Obviously, Microsoft is trying to make use of its abundant capital advantage to make a comprehensive layout in advance, so as to ensure that it is in an advantageous position in the competition of the next generation computing platform.</p><p><b>Second, the gold-swallowing beast or cash cow-Microsoft buys both the present and the future.</b></p><p>Nadella did change Microsoft in a sense. His miraculous operation saved this once slow-moving giant, and I can summarize his business style in eight words-\"clear goal and soft figure\".</p><p>When he was asked to expand the SaaS service of Office365, he quickly launched the iOS version of Office.</p><p>Nowadays, \"Microsoft is the best developer of iOS\" is both a joke and a partial fact, and the new operating system Windows 11 even allows users to download Google's Android apps directly from the Amazon App Store.</p><p>When Microsoft wants to expand cloud services, it has reached a rare cooperation with former competitors such as IBM and Oracle. Customers can migrate and run key data across Microsoft's Azure and Oracle Cloud.</p><p>At the same time, Microsoft, once absolutely closed, began to enthusiastically embrace open source systems today.</p><p>All these actions show the pragmatic side of Nadella, a low-key head.</p><p>Similarly, the acquisition of Blizzard also fully demonstrates Microsoft's pragmatism-focusing on the future but starting on the present.</p><p>For Microsoft, what it buys is both the present and the future.</p><p>From a short-term perspective, although the majority of players have criticized Activision Blizzard for its lack of innovation and corporate culture scandals in recent years, from a financial perspective, it is still a rare high-quality asset in the game field:</p><p>In 2020, revenue will be US $8.09 billion and profit will be US $2.19 billion; In the first three quarters of 2021, the revenue was US $9.05 billion and the profit was US $2.64 billion. This figure surpassed most outstanding companies in the game field.</p><p>Therefore, Microsoft's price of US $68.7 billion corresponds to 35 times the dynamic PE, which is not expensive.</p><p>What's more, Blizzard itself has as much as US $8.2 billion in cash on its books.</p><p>In this sense, Microsoft is buying a cash cow, not a gold-swallowing beast.</p><p>For Microsoft, the direct significance of the acquisition lies in reversing the disadvantage of Xbox console versus Sony PS console due to insufficient game content.</p><p>Of course, it is not easy for Microsoft to digest a behemoth like Activision Blizzard.</p><p>Judging from Microsoft's historical acquisition and integration performance, there are successes and failures: Skype and Nokia are undoubtedly failed acquisition and integration cases.</p><p>Of course, this happened before Nadella came to power, while other projects have performed relatively steadily so far.</p><p>The difficulty of Microsoft's integration of Activision Blizzard is that it is not an integration at a single business level. To give full play to its huge potential, it needs to be deeply and organically connected with Microsoft's intricate business departments.</p><p>This is a huge challenge even for the sophisticated Nadella.</p><p>I have criticized the original universe hype, but I don't deny the direction of technological development that metaverse represents.</p><p>The boundaries between virtual and real will undoubtedly become further blurred in the future.</p><p>Even Microsoft and Meta, which are at the forefront of metaverse development, actually lack sufficiently clear action steps for the specific implementation path of metaverse. The entire industry is crossing the river by feeling the stones, constantly trying and exploring.</p><p>Activision Blizzard has brought huge possibilities and imagination to Microsoft.</p><p><b>3. Activision Blizzard will fill the last piece of Microsoft's metaverse puzzle</b></p><p>There is no doubt that Microsoft is betting big on metaverse.</p><p>The construction of the metaverse itself is a huge and complex systematic project. Although its specific development path cannot be predicted, it must be combined with the following three levels of technologies-</p><p>The first is the hardware layer (VR/AR/, that is, input and output devices);</p><p>The second is to support basic technical facilities (cloud computing, basic computing power, digital twins, engine tools);</p><p>Finally, there is the application layer, that is, the specific operating system and specific applications.</p><p>Microsoft's layout at the above levels is the most comprehensive in a sense-</p><p>Its AR headset HoloLens is the underlying hardware layout and is currently the most leading personal device in the AR field.</p><p>In 2021, it received a huge order of US $21.9 billion from the U.S. Department of Defense at an extremely expensive price, and will develop more than 120,000 sets of AR helmets for the U.S. military in the next 10 years.</p><p>In April 2021, Microsoft announced the acquisition of Nuance for $19.7 billion, which is Microsoft's second largest acquisition after LinkedIn.</p><p>Nuance's core product is its language recognition engine, Dragon Anywhere, which uses deep learning to recognize speech. Apple's Siri and Samsung's S-Voice have all adopted Nuance's technology.</p><p>Why did Microsoft buy Nuance?</p><p>Because Microsoft believes that voice is one of the core interaction methods in the mixed reality industry, the acquisition will consolidate its technical foundation in the voice field.</p><p>At the Ignite conference held in November last year, Microsoft released a prototype metaverse product with avatar function-\"Mesh for Microsoft Teams\".</p><p>This product is mainly aimed at ordinary consumers. By connecting Mesh into Teams, it improves users' virtual experience, allowing users to collaborate in different places, hold meetings, and share holographic experiences through Teams.</p><p>Therefore, it can be seen that Microsoft has made preparations for metaverse in the entire industrial chain from hardware to basic technology to application layer.</p><p>The acquisition of Blizzard has pushed metaverse's application scenarios from office to entertainment.</p><p>The giants' judgments on metaverse's development vary greatly, but one thing is almost consistent-metaverse, the game comes first.</p><p>Today, Microsoft has made up the last puzzle of its metaverse layout through acquisitions.</p><p>In this regard, Microsoft CEO Nadella's attitude is direct and clear-</p><p>\"Gaming is currently the most dynamic and exciting entertainment category on all platforms today and will play a key role in the development of metaverse's platform.\"</p><p><b>4. The undervalued game industry behind the shocking acquisition</b></p><p>Obviously, Microsoft is playing a big game, and this shocking acquisition makes people have to think about an important question-</p><p>Why a game?</p><p>What is so special about the game industry?</p><p>Why will it become the breakthrough of the next computing platform?</p><p>It's time to rethink gaming and the future it represents, the gaming industry is somehow underrated in my opinion.</p><p>First of all, games affect the cultural competitiveness of a country in a sense.</p><p>In the 19th century, despite its rapid economic rise, the \"nouveau riche\" United States was a cultural desert in the eyes of Europeans.</p><p>Nowadays, the reason why the United States can become the hegemon of global pop culture is actually mainly due to the two entertainment pillar industries of movies and games.</p><p>In fact, as early as 2000, the American game industry surpassed the film industry in output value.</p><p>Young people in many countries around the world grew up playing CS, Red Alert, Dota and World of Warcraft, which have long become an important part of American cultural competitiveness.</p><p>Similarly, games and animation have become the two fortress industries of Japan's soft power export.</p><p>Before Microsoft launched Xbox in 2001, Japanese companies such as Sony, Nintendo and Sega firmly controlled the global game console market.</p><p>Super Mario, Contra and Pokémon have become the common memories of childhood and youth of a generation of young people around the world.</p><p>\"Soft power\" is a concept put forward by Joseph Nye, a professor at Harvard University, in 1990. It refers to national capabilities other than the economic, military and political fields.</p><p>Today, building a cultural power has become an important national strategy.</p><p>As an important part of global popular culture, the game industry with strong versatility and wide audience has full potential to become a bridgehead for China to export national soft power under the new scientific and technological pattern.</p><p>Fortunately, Chinese games have shown strong competitiveness and potential in the cultural overseas track.</p><p>According to data from the Game Working Committee, the overseas market sales revenue of China's self-developed games in 2020 will be US $15.45 billion, with a growth rate of 33.3%, which is higher than the industry average.</p><p>In addition to its cultural significance, games actually promote the continuous progress of science and technology itself.</p><p>In fact, in 1972, when Odyssey, the world's first home game console, was born, the personal computer had not yet been invented, and Jobs's first job was to work for Atari, a game company.</p><p>After PC became an industry, being able to play games has always been an important selling point of home computers.</p><p>In fact, the improvement of computer performance, especially graphics performance, is mainly driven by the continuous improvement of display accuracy in the game industry.</p><p>DOOM, launched by John Carmack, a talented American game programmer and father of 3D games, has been the main tool for performance testing of Nvidia's early new generation graphics cards for many years.</p><p>The rapid development of graphics cards and GPUs has unexpectedly become an important driving force for the computing power of artificial intelligence technology and blockchain technology in recent years.</p><p>In 1998, Nintendo launched a voice-activated game called Hello Pikachu! On NINTENDO 64, which was an important beginning of digital speech processing technology.</p><p>Gaming technology is also creating positive externalities to other industries.</p><p>For example, in order to improve the safety performance, the automobile industry absorbs talents and technology from the game industry, and applies simulation software to calculate in the automobile development stage, thus improving the safety factor of automobiles.</p><p>OpenAl, the artificial intelligence laboratory founded by Musk, even open sourced a set of self-driving systems learned through Grand Theft Auto last year.</p><p>The game industry is essentially a technological ecosystem, which spans multiple cross-cutting fields such as display technology, rendering technology, basic communication, graphics processing, AI, and cloud.</p><p>Take the game rendering engine as an example. It is the basis for building a 3D interactive real-time rendering virtual world. It originated from the id tech engine invented by John Carmack in 1993.</p><p>The current mainstream open source game rendering engines are Unity and Unreal, which belong to Unity and Epic companies in the United States respectively.</p><p>More than 70% of the games on the market are based on these two engines, including Black Myth: Wukong, which is expected by many domestic players. However, China is still in its infancy in this field, and there is a big gap.</p><p>Today, it may be time for the country and society to reevaluate the value of the game industry from a strategic level. When games enter the stage of metaverse based on VR and AR, the pattern and ecology of the game industry are also evolving rapidly and complexly.</p><p>In a sense, this gives Chinese game practitioners a new opportunity to compete.</p><p>When we re-examine the game from the strategic height of the next computing platform entry point, perhaps we will occupy a more favorable position in the new round of technological competition.</p><p><b>5. Cloud game layout is also an important consideration for Microsoft</b></p><p>There is no doubt that cloud gaming is an exciting and important direction for this industry.</p><p>In a sense, future games will not be distinguished from mobile games, PC games and console games. Any display terminal with fast enough network speed can play high-quality 3A masterpieces.</p><p>The maturity of 5G, cloud computing technology and related supporting facilities will promote cloud games to gradually move from concepts to mainstream players. Cloud games have the potential to become one of the earliest important application scenarios for commercial implementation of 5G.</p><p>Its main features are that it gets rid of the limitations of the terminal, is not subject to the computing power of local hardware, and can be played anytime and anywhere.</p><p>Because of its obvious advantages, mainstream game companies around the world have turned their attention and resources to this field-</p><p>In 2015, Sony acquired OnLive to launch Playstation Now, allowing PS4 users to run their games through streaming;</p><p>In 2017, Nvidia launched the cloud gaming service GeForce Now in the personal computer market;</p><p>In 2018, Microsoft announced its cloud gaming service Project xCloud;</p><p>Google releases Stadia cloud gaming platform at GDC 2019.</p><p>However, judging from the current experience, most cloud games have not shown obvious advantages in actual experience.</p><p>The reason behind this is that the industry and basic technologies have not yet been popularized and mature, and it is difficult for ordinary consumers to meet the harsh network conditions of manufacturers, but the industry is still full of confidence in the direction and trend of cloud games.</p><p>In the announcement of this acquisition, Phil Spencer, the head of Microsoft Games, made the following statement-</p><p>\"The addition of Activision Blizzard will also further accelerate our Xbox cloud gaming plans, allowing more people around the world to join the Xbox gaming community through mobile phones, tablets, laptops and other existing devices.\"</p><p>It can be seen that Microsoft hopes that the addition of Blizzard will give it an advantage in the fierce cloud gaming competition.</p><p>In fact, the optimization of cloud games itself requires close cooperation and testing between studios and game platforms.</p><p>According to media reports, one of the important reasons for the poor reputation of Google's Stadia cloud game platform after its launch is that the cooperation between third-party game studios and Google gives a relatively low priority to cloud games.</p><p>Activision Blizzard now becomes Microsoft's first-party studio, which will effectively reduce its cloud game development and communication costs. We have enough reasons to believe that this acquisition will accelerate Microsoft's cloud game layout.</p><p><b>6. Building Disney in the game industry-IP is the important significance of this acquisition.</b></p><p>Many people think that Blizzard is going downhill now, with a high turnover rate of core employees, and Microsoft's deal is not cost-effective.</p><p>However, what Microsoft is interested in is the massive game IP behind Activision Blizzard.</p><p>You think Microsoft is buying Call of Duty, Dark Wreck, Warcraft and Overwatch, but in fact it is buying the massive player loyalty and future derivative potential behind these games.</p><p>How powerful is Blizzard's IP power?</p><p>We can see the clue from the derivative movies of World of Warcraft-</p><p>As an important pop culture symbol in the 21st century, the movie \"Warcraft\" derived from the game World of Warcraft has grossed $438 million at the box office worldwide.</p><p>Among them, more than $200 million came to the Chinese market, and it is still the highest-grossing game adaptation film in film history.</p><p>Build an IP aircraft carrier-Microsoft bought Bethesda Softworksh, Minecraft, Activision Blizzard and Disney bought Lucasfilm, Pixar, Marvel, and 20th Century Fox The underlying logic is the same.</p><p>Microsoft's ambition is to become the Disney of gaming.</p><p>No matter how technology advances and how games evolve, the core of the industry is infectious and high-quality content.</p><p>The high-quality IP proven by time undoubtedly makes Microsoft, which was once at a disadvantage in the competition with Sony because of IP shortage, stand at the top of the content pyramid.</p><p>The important value of IP lies in its abstraction. It is not limited to any display form and equipment, so it can play the role of a moat in long-term games in a sense.</p><p>We can get a glimpse of the importance of IP to the game industry from the case of Nintendo-</p><p>Nintendo's console is far lower than its contemporary competitors in terms of hardware performance. However, it is precisely because of a large number of hot super IPs such as Super Mario and Pokémon Elf that Nintendo is still proud of the game market.</p><p>In 2016, the AR mobile game \"Pokemon GO\" authorized and developed by Nintendo's IP Pokémon achieved phenomenal success worldwide, which shows the power of IP.</p><p><b>7. Epilogue</b></p><p>From a more macro perspective, human society is a large-scale game, and life is like a play. This \"play\" can be understood as a game today.</p><p>With the progress of basic technology, the boundary between virtual and real will undoubtedly continue to become blurred, and the process of human migration to the game world will not stop in the past, present and future.</p><p>Yes, Charlie Branson said, all industries are creative industries.</p><p>Jane McGonigal's book \"Games Change the World\" says: 3,000 years ago, in order to resist the Great Famine, the residents of Asia Minor chose to eat one day and play games the next day to resist hunger.</p><p>Yes, the love for games is deeply imprinted in the innate genes of human beings.</p><p>\"Looking into the distance of the Internet, there are two veins faintly appearing-</p><p>First, the mechanism of cooperation has changed from coercion to freedom;</p><p>Second, the motivation of labor changes from self-interest to game.</p><p>Therefore, the word \"game\" is undergoing a historic transformation.

游戏、搜索引擎和广告加起来只占到营收构成的32.2%。微软近年收入组成分布如今扛起收入大旗的是来自云计算的另外两大业务——“生产力与业务流程”部门、“智能云”部门。前者包括 Office365、Dynamics和 LinkedIn，后者则包含服务器和企业服务。没错，云服务已经当之无愧地超越Windows成为了微软的第二曲线，这对完美错过互联网时代的微软而言简直是一个奇迹。那么，问题来了——微软的第三曲线在哪里？我想这次收购在某种意义上已经给出了答案——“游戏和它所代表的无限可能的未来”。作为一家1975年就成立的老牌科技公司，微软尽管在45年之后依然屹立在行业之巅，但曾经连续错过互联网、移动互联网的微软有着深深的未来焦虑。很显然微软试图通过此举利用自己雄厚的资本优势提前全面的布局，以确保自己在下一代计算平台的竞争中处于优势地位。二、吞金兽or现金牛——微软买的既是当下也是未来。纳德拉的确在某种意义上改变了微软，他奇迹般的操作拯救了这个曾经行动迟缓的巨人，而他的经营风格我总结为八个字——“目标明确，身段柔软”。当要他要拓展Office365的SaaS服务的时候，他快速上线了Office的iOS版本。如今“微软是iOS最佳开发者”既是一句调侃也是部分事实，而新版操作系统Windows 11甚至允许用户从亚马逊应用商城直接下载谷歌的安卓应用。当微软要拓展云服务的时候，它和IBM、Oracle 等曾经竞争对手罕见地达成合作，客户能够跨微软的Azure 和 Oracle Cloud 迁移和运行关键数据。同时曾经绝对封闭的微软今天开始热烈拥抱开源系统。这些举动无不显示了纳德拉这位低调的掌门人务实的一面。同样，收购暴雪也充分展示了微软的务实——着眼于未来但着手于现在。对于微软而言，它买下的既是当下也是未来。从短期的角度，尽管广大玩家对动视暴雪近年创新乏力和企业文化丑闻上有诸多的批评，但从财务的角度，它依然是游戏领域不可多得的优质资产：2020年营收80.9亿美元，利润21.9亿美元；2021年前三季度营收90.5亿美元，利润26.4亿美元，这个数据超越了游戏领域的大部分优秀公司。所以微软687亿美元的价格对应35倍的动态PE，并不算贵。更何况暴雪本身账面上还有高达82亿美金的现金。从这个意义上，微软买的是一头现金牛，而不是一头吞金兽。而对于微软而言，收购的直接意义还在于一句扭转了Xbox主机对阵索尼PS主机由于游戏内容不足而处于下风的劣势。当然，对于微软而言要消化好动视暴雪这样的庞然大物并不是一件容易的事。微软的历史收购整合表现来看，有成功也有失败：Skype、诺基亚毫无疑问是失败的收购整合案例.当然，这发生都在纳德拉掌权之前，而其他项目从目前看则表现较为平稳。微软对动视暴雪的整合难点在于它并非单一业务层面的整合，要充分发挥它的巨大潜力需要和微软错综复杂的业务部门进行深度有机的打通。这即便对于老练的纳德拉也是一个巨大的挑战。我曾经批评过原宇宙炒作，但我并不否认元宇宙所代表的科技发展方向。虚拟和现实的界限在未来毫无疑问会进一步变得模糊。即便是走在元宇宙开发前沿的微软和Meta，他们对于元宇宙的具体实现路径其实也缺乏足够非常清晰的行动步骤，整个行业都在摸着石头过河，都在不断尝试和探索。而动视暴雪则给微软带来了巨大的可能性和想象空间。三、动视暴雪将补齐微软元宇宙最后一块拼图毫无疑问，微软在豪赌元宇宙。而元宇宙的构建本身是一个庞大而复杂的系统化工程，尽管它的具体发展路径无法预测，但它必须由以下三个层面的技术进行配套组合——首先是硬件层（VR/AR/，即输入和输出设备）；其次是支持基础技术设施（云计算、基础算力、数字孪生、引擎工具）；最后才是应用层，即具体的操作系统和具体的应用。而微软在以上几个层面的布局在某种意义上是最全面的——它的AR头显HoloLens是底层硬件布局，目前是AR领域最领先的个人设备。2021年它以极其昂贵的价格获得了美国国防部 219亿美元的巨额订单，将在未来 10 年为美军研制超过12 万套AR头盔。2021 年 4 月，微软宣布以 197 亿美元收购 Nuance，这是微软继 LinkedIn 之后的第二大收购。Nuance最核心的产品是其语言识别引擎—— Dragon Anywhere，该引擎使用深度学习来识别语音，苹果的 Siri、三星的S-Voice 等都曾采用 Nuance 的技术。为什么微软要收购Nuance？因为微软认为语音是混合现实产业最核心的交互方式之一，收购将夯实自己在语音领域的技术基础。在去年11月份举办的 Ignite 大会上，微软发布了具有虚拟形象功能的元宇宙雏形产品——“Mesh for Microsoft Teams”。该产品主要面向普通消费者，通过将Mesh接入进Teams 提高用户的虚拟体验感，允许用户通过Teams 进行异地协作、召开会议、共享全息体验。所以，可以看到微软已经从硬件到基础技术再到应用层，在整个产业链条里为元宇宙做好了准备。而收购暴雪则将元宇宙的应用场景从办公推向了娱乐。巨头们对元宇宙的发展判断差异很大，但有一点几乎是一致的——元宇宙，游戏先行。而今天的微软通过收购补上了其元宇宙布局的最后一块拼图。对此，微软CEO纳德拉态度直接而明确——“游戏是目前当今所有平台上最具活力和最令人兴奋的娱乐类别，将在元宇宙平台的发展中发挥关键作用。”四、惊天收购背后被低估的游戏行业很显然，微软在下一盘大棋，这次惊天收购让人不得不思考一个重要问题——为什么是游戏？游戏产业到底有什么特殊之处？为什么它会成为下一个计算平台的突破口？是时候重新思考游戏和它代表的未来了，在我看来，游戏行业在某种程度上被低估了。首先，游戏在某种意义上影响着国家的文化竞争力。在19世纪，美国尽管在经济上迅速崛起，但在欧洲人看来“暴发户”美国是一个文化沙漠。而如今美国之所以能成为全球流行文化的霸主，其实主要源于电影和游戏这两个娱乐支柱产业。而事实上，早在2000年，美国游戏行业在产值上就超越了电影行业。全球诸多国家的年轻人是玩着CS、红色警戒、Dota、魔兽世界长大的，而这些都早已成为美国文化竞争力的重要组成部分。同样，游戏和动漫也成为了日本软实力输出的两大堡垒产业。在微软2001年推出Xbox之前，日本的索尼、任天堂、世嘉等公司牢牢掌控着全球游戏主机市场。超级马里奥、魂斗罗、精灵宝可梦(Pokémon)成为全球一代年轻人童年和青春的共同回忆。“软实力”是哈佛大学教授约瑟夫·奈在1990年提出的概念，它是指除经济、军事、政治领域以外的国家能力。今天，建设文化强国已成为重要国家战略。通用性强、受众面广的游戏产业作为全球流行文化重要组成部分，有充分的潜力成为中国在新科技格局下输出国家软实力的一座桥头堡。可喜的是，中国游戏在文化出海赛道表现出较强的竞争力和潜力。根据游戏工委的数据，2020年中国自研游戏海外市场销售收入为 154.5 亿美元，增速达 33.3%，高于行业平均水平。游戏除了文化层面的重要意义，它在事实上也推动了科技本身的不断进步。事实上，1972年，世界上第一部家用游戏主机 Odyssey 诞生时，个人电脑还没有被发明，乔布斯的第一份工作就是在游戏公司雅达利上班。而PC成为产业之后，能玩游戏一直是家用电脑的一个重要卖点。事实上，电脑性能特别是图形性能的提升主要由游戏行业对显示画面精度的不断提高而被推动向前发展的。美国天才游戏程序员、3D游戏之父约翰*卡马克推出的《DOOM》多年以来一直是英伟达早期新一代显卡性能测试的主要工具。而显卡和GPU的高速发展在近几年年意外地成为人工智能技术和区块链技术算力的重要推动力量。1998年，任天堂在NINTENDO 64推出了一款叫做《你好皮卡丘！》的声控游戏，这是数字语音处理技术的重要开端。游戏技术也在对其他行业产生正外部性。比如汽车产业为了提升安全性能，就从游戏产业吸纳人才和技术，在汽车开发阶段应用模拟软件进行演算，从而提升汽车的安全系数。马斯克创立的人工智能实验室 OpenAl 去年甚至开源了一套通过《侠盗猎车手》学习的自动驾驶的系统。游戏产业在本质上是一个技术生态，它横跨了显示技术、渲染技术、基础通讯、图形处理、AI、云等多个交叉领域。以游戏渲染引擎为例，它是构建3D可交互实时渲染虚拟世界的基础，最早起源于约翰·卡马克1993年发明的id tech引擎。目前主流的开源游戏渲染引擎为Unity和Unreal，他们分别来属于美国的Unity和Epic公司。市面上超过70%的游戏基于这两个引擎制作，包括众多国内玩家期待的《黑神话：悟空》，而国内在这一领域尚处于起步阶段，差距较大。今天，国家和社会或许到了从战略层面重估游戏产业价值的时候，当游戏进入VR和AR为基础的元宇宙阶段，游戏产业的格局和生态也在快速、复杂的演化。这在某种意义上给了中国游戏从业者一个新的竞争机会。当我们以下一个计算平台切入点的战略高度重新审视游戏的时候，在新一轮科技竞争中或许我们将占据更有利的位置。五、云游戏布局也是微软出手的一个重要考量毫无疑问，云游戏是这个行业激动人心的重要方向。从某种意义上，未来的游戏不会有移动游戏、PC 游戏与主机游戏区分，任何网速够快的显示终端都可以玩到高质量的3A大作。而5G、云计算技术以及相关配套设施的成熟会推动云游戏逐渐从概念走向主流玩家，云游戏有潜力成 5G 最早商用落地的重要应用场景之一。它的主要特点就是摆脱终端的限制、不受制于本地硬件算力、随时随地可玩。正因为其明显的优势，于是全球主流游戏企业都将目光和资源投向该领域——2015年，索尼收购OnLive 推出Playstation Now，允许PS4用户通过串流方式运行旗下游戏；2017年英伟达在个人电脑市场推出了云游戏服务GeForce Now；2018 年，微软公布其云游戏服务Project xCloud；2019年GDC 大会谷歌发布Stadia云游戏平台。然而，从目前的体验来看，大部分云游戏在实际体验中还没有表现出明显的优势。这背后的原因还是产业和基础技术尚未普及和成熟，普通消费者很难达到厂商们苛刻的网络条件，但业界依然对云游戏的方向和趋势充满信心。在这次收购的公告中，微软游戏的掌门人菲尔・斯宾塞有如下表述——“动视暴雪的加入也将进一步加快我们 Xbox 云游戏的计划进程，让世界各地更多的人能通过手机、平板电脑、笔记本电脑和其它现有设备加入 Xbox 游戏社区。”可以看到，微软希望暴雪的加入能让其在激烈的云游戏竞争中获得优势。事实上，云游戏的优化本身就需要工作室和游戏平台足够密切的配合和测试。有媒体报道，谷歌的 Stadia 云游戏平台上线之后口碑不佳其中一个重要原因在于第三方游戏工作室和谷歌的合作中将云游戏的优先级排列的相对较低。而动视暴雪如今成为微软的第一方工作室将有效减少其云游戏开发和沟通的成本，我们有足够的理由相信这次收购会加速微软的云游戏布局。六、打造游戏界的迪斯尼 ——IP是这次收购的重要意义。很多人认为暴雪现在在走下坡路，核心员工离职率高，微软的这笔买卖并不划算。然而微软看中的正是动视暴雪背后海量的游戏IP。你以为微软买的是《使命召唤》、《黑暗破坏神》、《魔兽争霸》、《守望先锋》，其实它买的是这些游戏背后代表的海量玩家忠诚度和未来的衍生潜力。暴雪的IP力量有多强？我们从魔兽世界的衍生电影就能看出端倪——作为21世纪的重要流行文化符号，根据游戏魔兽世界衍生的电影《魔兽》在全球范围内狂揽4.38 亿美元票房。其中超过2亿美元来中国市场，至今它依然是电影史上票房最高的游戏改编电影。打造IP航母——微软买下买下Bethesda Softworksh、买下《Minecraft》、买下动视暴雪和迪斯尼买下卢卡斯影业、买下皮克斯、买下漫威、买下20世纪福克斯的底层逻辑是相同的。微软的雄心就是成为游戏领域的迪士尼。无论技术如何进步、游戏如何发展，行业的核心还是具有感染力的优质内容。被时间证明过的优质 IP 无疑让曾经因为IP荒而在与索尼的竞争中处于下风的微软站到了内容金字塔的顶端。IP的重要价值的在于它的抽象性，它不受限于任何展示形式和设备，因此它在某种意义上能在长周期博弈中起到护城河的作用。IP对于游戏产业的重要性，我们可以从任天堂的案例中略窥一二——任天堂的主机在硬件性能层面远低于它同时代的竞争对手，然而正是由于超级马里奥、宝可梦精灵等一大批炙手可热的超级IP，让任天堂依然笑傲游戏市场。2016年任天堂旗下IP宝可梦授权研发的AR手游《Pokemon GO》在全球范围内获得了现象级的成功，IP力量可见一斑。七、尾声从更宏观的视角，人类社会就是一个大型的游戏，人生如戏，这个“戏”在今天我们可以理解为游戏。随着基础技术的进步，虚拟和现实边界毫无疑问会继续变得模糊，人类向游戏世界的大迁徙的进程在过去、现在和未来都不会停止。没错，查理*布兰森说，一切行业都是创意行业。简*麦戈尼格尔的《游戏改变世界》一书写道：3000年前小亚细亚的居民为了抵抗大饥荒，他们选择一天进食第二天则玩游戏来抵御饥饿感。是滴，对游戏的热爱深深地印刻在人类与生俱来的的基因中。“眺望互联网的远方，有两个脉络隐隐呈现——第一， 协作的机制从强制变成自由；第二，劳动的动机从自利变成游戏。所以，\"游戏\"二字正在发生历史性的蜕变，游戏将不仅是游戏，它可能是我们未来生活的全部图景。”一位资深媒体人2014年的这个判断在未来大概率会变成现实。很显然，微软比其他巨头更深刻地理解这一点。","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"ATVI":0.9,"MSFT":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":478,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9007968980,"gmtCreate":1642739467361,"gmtModify":1676533742238,"author":{"id":"3570400052929996","authorId":"3570400052929996","name":"Huangwei","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89be5114c1e790b27ceba546fd6c9abb","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570400052929996","idStr":"3570400052929996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":",,,","listText":",,,","text":",,,","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9007968980","repostId":"2205673011","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2205673011","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1642733342,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2205673011?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-21
