Chinese Internet companies are taking "technology" as their two-time banner of entrepreneurship. Reporters yesterday learned that the preparation of more than a year of the Tencent Institute has been officially set up, this is the first domestic internet companies to technology research and development as the goal of the organization. Coincidentally, Jinshan, Sohu and so on have increased technical input.

"The first ten years, Chinese Internet companies have won over multinational companies by their ability to replicate and respond flexibly to local markets," Xun Minghua, executive vice president of Tencent's joint chief technology officer, told reporters, "in the next 10 years, it is absolutely head-on, who will win the best technology. ”

Large sums of money invested in research and development

"Chinese Internet companies must be technically backward, if not catching up, it is difficult to imagine 5-10 years later, there will be a good development," Xun Minghua Frankly, we now have no shortage of money, understanding of the market is enough, "but foreign companies have gradually understood the Chinese market. ”

Chinese Internet companies, which have "made a false start" in the first decade, are finally realising that technology has become the biggest short plank of their two-time startups. Tencent chief architect Zheng revealed that, starting last year, they planned to set up the Tencent Institute, and in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, the three synchronized set up, the goal is to focus on the development of the next 2-5 years, the Internet practical basic technology, including storage, data mining, multimedia, Chinese processing, wireless and so on

"In the next three years, it will invest 100 million yuan," Xun Minghua said, which is only the first phase of the Fund, and research and development is not linked to specific performance.

Coincidentally, at the same time Tencent announced more research and development, the successful landing in Hong Kong stock market, Jinshan also made it clear that the amount of about HK $768 million of the funds raised will be about HK $170 million for the research team to recruit new graduates and senior researchers. Industry analysts believe that the Internet enterprises "technology war" has begun.

Targeting Network Core technology

"The establishment of the Institute, hoping to improve the Chinese Internet technology to promote the role," Xun Minghua bluntly, it will help to improve Tencent's core technology research and development capabilities.

In fact, Tencent has become the most patented company in China's internet companies, the official told reporters. It is reported that up to now, the company has held more than 400 patents licensing, half of which involves core technology. And just last week, an American company came to the door and asked to buy a patent that Tencent registered in the US. "This is the first time for Chinese internet companies," Xun Minghua said.

Still, he has put forward a higher demand for the quality of Tencent's patent, "patent will become an important indicator of the Institute's performance assessment, and hope to have greater development in five years." ”

In order to achieve this goal, Tencent has set itself a talent recruitment target. Xun Minghua revealed that the number of doctors in the company will exceed 1% of the number of employees, which means that now 4,000 employees will have 40 doctors, and the proportion of basic researchers to 2% to 3%, "the ratio is close to Microsoft, most of them will work in the institute." ”

"The future of Internet competition will be static water flow," Sohu Chairman and CEO Charles Zhang told reporters that they have set the development goals in the technical development. In his view, Sohu is currently able to exceed Sina in traffic, in addition to the reasons for the Olympic sponsors, largely because of Sohu's technical strength has improved.

Copy's not safe.

The biggest worry for Chinese internet companies remains the strength of multinationals. "They have achieved localization, with abundant capital and strong technical strength, will become very dangerous," Xun Minghua told reporters.

In the past decade, he says, Chinese internet companies have largely been "copying" successful models abroad, and multinationals have failed in China because they have not reacted fast enough to understand the market.

"Although we have achieved a temporary success, but does not mean that we can sit back and relax," the person in charge bluntly, to continue to go on, rely on the market to grasp the ability, it is difficult, "even if the development of their own, there is no core technology, it is difficult to maintain." ”
