Hkust Mobile Internet strategy: three points in the world take the largest piece

Hkust News Fly President Liu Qingfeng Tencent Science and Technology Zong November 22 report January 21 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the Hkust flying Chairman, President Liu Qingfeng to enter Anhui Hefei headquarters office Building 5 Floor meeting room, come to attend the HKUST News Flying Media Open day several media. This is the first time the company held media open Day, but also Liu Qingfeng to face the technology industry media talk about the company's development strategy, and to respond to the company because of low-key and mysterious and many questions. Mobile Internet strategy and path reflection have become the most important part of this meeting. In the past year, on the product, in addition to the flying input method and language points, last December, the Hkust and China Mobile (micro-blog) issued voice portal products, to the end of October this year, the message fly input method to activate the user over billion, active users around 20 million. In the technological evolution, this September, the hkust launched an off-line speech recognition program, recognition accuracy of more than 90%. In the company's structure, HKUST launched a mobile internet division, and moved forward from Hefei to Beijing. Liu Qingfeng revealed, as Huawei's president Ren said, "Let the front-line people hear the fire make the decision." "The voice industry is facing tipping points. Micro-credit and other mobile internet products led by the voice of the trend of voice input gradually become user habits, the rise of wearable devices will be the importance of speech synthesis and recognition technology to unprecedented heights. Whether it is Google (Weibo), Apple or China's Tencent, Baidu, whether it is the hkust flying, or just the rise of the cloud, such as voice technology start-up companies, has been and is a fierce competition in the voice technology. In this industry upheaval, how does the hkust face the challenges and unpredictable risks from the internet giants and start-up companies? On the positive and predictable game of China Mobile's stake, the choice and choice of mobile internet strategy, Liu Qingfeng has its own answer about the industry competition. On China Mobile shares: when needed, when you don't need it, it doesn't exist. Last August 23, the HKUST News flight issued a notice, said China Mobile through its subsidiaries at 19.4 yuan per share of the price of the university to subscribe to 70.27 million shares, accounting for the launch of the HKUST after the total number of shares of 15%, The total transaction price is about 1.363 billion yuan. Mobile will execute the subscription in cash form. When signing with China Mobile, China Mobile pledged not to participate in day-to-day management and not to seek controlling power. Liu Qingfeng that China Mobile also recognized its low efficiency, the two sides will have a run-in, as a joint brand, China Mobile high-level also has a clear understanding, "in addition to the business of docking, others do not need to move, they are seen as non-existent." Liu Qingfeng revealed that during the past year, there have been three developments in the cooperation between Hkust and China Mobile. First, the two sides build mutual trust relationship, the other is the strategic cooperation agreement of the contents of the orderly promotion. Along the established direction and there are new areas in the expansion. Hkust flying with the movement of various systems, such as the nine base, data and marketing department to achieve the corresponding system from top to bottom docking. Third,Hkust news to fly with China Mobile has continued to increase cooperation business. But in fact, from this year's cooperation, the HKUST has not achieved a great leap in performance, the capital sector of China Mobile and the hkust to fly the cooperation that "less than expected." Hkust and China Unicom (micro-BO) cooperation revenue has been on the billion, according to China Unicom and China Mobile user base calculation, the Hkust flying from China Mobile revenue should be unicom several times, but why not so much? Liu Qingfeng that the expectations of the capital world can be understood, but the HKUST has its own difficulties. One is subject to the actual progress of the strategic cooperation Agreement. Liu Qingfeng revealed that the agreement between the two sides was signed last August, but China Mobile's money really entered this April. The early stage mainly is the communication, including the business model clear, the speech and the Platform integration construction frame and so on, but the fund enters only then has the closer cooperation. Second, the efficiency of the enterprise. Because China Mobile is a state-owned enterprise, enterprises in the anti-corruption control, the strict implementation of the process and other subjective reasons that the efficiency of state-owned enterprises slightly lower than private enterprises, resulting in part of the work delayed. He expects the pace of co-operation to begin to intensify in the second half of this year. "In the next three months to half a year, a lot of in-depth strategic cooperation will continue to push up." "Liu Qingfeng said. On mobile internet strategy: As the Korean battlefield of Korea, is the frontier position this battle must be fought, but will not affect the hinterland Liu Qingfeng that mobile Internet is the forefront of the position, "resolute can not be lost, must go to play." Last year, Hkust launched an independent mobile internet division. Main main message fly Input method and the connection to receive a product. Liu Qingfeng says it's not counting on the frontier to bring in revenue from other business departments. The requirement of the Mobile interconnection division is to form a popular brand with the influence of the company. In addition to positive attacks, the Internet companies in the face of encirclement and suppression, Hkust flying also has a defensive strategy. "The mobile internet, like the Korean battlefield, must be wiped out by the US emperor, but the battlefield does not affect the hinterland." "The first is that the Internet companies now free products, there is no revenue, free of loss." The other is the University of Hkust flying Education and call center two high threshold industries, Internet companies are currently unable to enter. The third is to connect the voice of the assistant all free, no income, but the mobile to the hkust to fly a subsidy, the process of flying has the ability to survive, and the future sustained high-speed growth potential, dare to play mobile internet this battle. Another Liu Qingfeng is doing is to reduce internal friction through game and integration. The mobile Internet division sent people to Beijing for business development and cooperation. "The headquarters in Beijing, research and development in Hefei, to give Beijing greater autonomy, to achieve talent recruitment and product rapid iteration." "Whether the mobile Internet segment will be split separately, Liu Qingfeng says there is no such plan. The future independent development or the spin-off listing, depends on the development situation. Talk about industry competition: The future is three points world, hkust flying strategic alliance to occupy the largest piece of mobile internet competition, the industry subversive changes may be faster. Liu Qingfeng thinks it's a good thing that more and more participants are entering. Talking about the lineIndustry rookie, Liu Qingfeng, like the sound of these small start-up companies continue to come out, constantly arouse the attention of the capital market, but also spur the hkust to fly technology product iterations and innovation to do better. For Tencent, Baidu and other internet giants to launch their own voice applications. Liu Qingfeng that they have made great strides in voice applications over the past two years and have built their own system. But the impact of these enterprises, absolutely not like Apple hardware and software integration bundled with the impact of greater, on the contrary, the hkust and micro-letter and so there are many cooperation. With Tencent, Baidu these already have the important user entrance of the enterprise compares, Liu Qingfeng thinks, want to do more open, the application domain to do more thorough, the user's telephone, texting and so on just need to do thoroughly. Liu Qingfeng revealed the next step of Hkust's flying strategy: one is more transparent and open, not monopoly all up and down the value chain, but the voice of the voice to understand the true understanding of the real; second, the technology will become better, not only the voice cloud platform open to entrepreneurs, while the background of the integration of cooperation resources Open, so that small and medium-sized entrepreneurs benefit; In addition to the open platform of the mobile Internet partners, with the three major operators and mobile phone manufacturers have reached a strategic partnership to build strategic alliances. "Voice application may be three points in the world, one is a foreign enterprise, one point is the domestic Internet enterprises, one point is the hkust flying, we through strategic alliances, from the core technology and customer base, we have the confidence of big industry, three points the world we take the largest piece." "Liu Qingfeng said. The 13-year "curved line" has the potential to form a fountain effect, and the leading position is not easily replicated by human and technology intensive inputs. This sentence as a strategy written to the Hkust 2003 years of year-end summary, ten years later, still applicable. In 1999, Liu Qingfeng and the founding team of Hkust launched the experimental results from the human-computer voice communication Laboratory, and took a 3 million yuan from the local investor "cheat" to build a Silicon Valley day sound company. At the end of 1999, and won the Anhui Meiling Group and other 30 million investment, renamed as "Hkust News fly." After this, the investment is huge, survival is still difficult, in 2000-2001, the Hkust introduced Fosun and Lenovo two big investors, gradually on track. Ten years later, China Mobile funded the HKUST News flight, the Hkust as a provider of software solutions, from the mobile internet increasingly close. After receiving Fosun and Lenovo Investment, Lenovo chairman Liu and Fosun Guo, Liang style influenced the Liu Qingfeng, and the style into the hkust flying the entire management concept. 2000, Lenovo and Hkust flying signing ceremony that night, Liu and Liu Qingfeng had a long talk. For entrepreneurship, Mr Liu told Liu Qingfeng that "both ideals and idealism" are necessary to deal with government relations, "with the support of the Government, with its sunny health and with the government at a distance". Fosun's strength lies in the judgment of the trend and the sense of pluralism, such as investment in real estate and steel industry, and the great impact on Liu Qingfeng of asset operation. Hkust flying in speech synthesis, speech recognition, speech evaluation,Voice recognition, intelligent handwriting and other aspects of the establishment of a number of industries, many areas of ecological system. Hkust News Flying Vice President taller 1999-2001 called "Curved Line", the direction is generally correct, but walked countless detours. At first, Hkust wanted to make personal products. Made a set of speech software, but not sell. Communication value-added and mobile interconnect products have also tried to access mobile Internet by telephone and telephone. But the audio email basically no one uses, the telephone listens the network in the Northeast one place operator sells a set, the revenue millions of yuan. But the business-to-business business saved Hkust from flying. Liu Qingfeng is very appreciative of Intel's founder, Grove, and agrees with Intel Inside's philosophy, replicating this concept, and implanting technology into various fields and expanding the market for industry users. "Now it seems not to do these crazy stupid things, did not leave these kindling, the Hkust news fly also developed less than today." "Taller said.
