[Five Years of Striving, Focus on Big Data] Ma Huateng talks about the digital economy: data can be copied, and the market and talents are the most scarce and precious.

  Cctv news(Reporter Wang Jiayong) On May 28th, Ma Huateng, Chairman and CEO of Tencent, who attended the closing ceremony of the 2017 Digital Expo, said at the digital economy summit dialogue that day that the digital economy has the attributes of "reality", "innovation" and "communication", big data can be copied, but the market and talents cannot be copied, which is also the most precious.

Ma Huateng believes that the real economy is being fully digitized, and the digital center will also enter every corner of the real economy in the future.

Ma Huateng believes that the real economy is being fully digitized, and the digital center will also enter every corner of the real economy in the future.

  Ma Huateng said that the digital economy was mentioned in the reports of the two sessions this year. Less than two months after the end of the two sessions, the book on the digital economy came out, which shows that the status of the digital economy is crucial.

  There are three characteristics of digital economy, one is "reality", and the so-called "reality" is the real economy. The real economy is being fully digitized, and the future digital center will also enter every corner of the real economy in all walks of life.

  "In this case, our positioning is very clear. We made connectors, we made water and electricity, we made supporting roles, and the protagonist was a traditional enterprise from all walks of life. We provided tools for him." Ma Huateng said.

  In Ma Huateng’s eyes, "new" is the second feature of the digital economy, and the so-called "new" is innovation. Ma Huateng said: "A lot of innovation opportunities are born in the vertical field." For example, a truck gang enterprise in Guizhou is a good example. The truck gang has opened services in 360 cities, accurately docking goods across the country, and greatly reducing the no-load force. Trucks provide accurate services, which is a good proof of the innovation opportunities in the vertical field.

  The third is "communication". Ma Huateng believes that China Unicom is the third feature of the digital economy. In the past, foreign countries said that China enterprises had no copyright. In recent five years, copyright in China has been greatly developed, including movies, TV series, online games, mobile games, music, animation and other cultural industries. Ma Huateng said that the digital economy has made China’s economy walk out of a digital economy silk road, and China’s digital culture industry is the new silk. China should seize the great opportunity, cooperate more with good foreign enterprises, and use cooperation to lay out the global digital culture industry.

  In the era of digital economy, artificial intelligence is very important, and in artificial intelligence, the most important element is "scene". Ma Huateng said that the scene is the battlefield and the market. Just like the three IT companies have their own main battlefields, Didi and mobike have travel scenes, and Meituan and 58 have life scenes. With the market and the scene, data will be generated, which will also drive the development of technology and talents will follow. With these conditions, artificial intelligence technology can naturally be improved and the digital economy will naturally develop.

  Ma Huateng said that computing power and big data can be copied, but the market and talents cannot be copied. People have a deep awareness of daily life and usage habits, and people’s living habits have been formed. Therefore, only with the battlefield can the era of artificial intelligence use new technologies, seize the opportunities and create the future, otherwise it is useless to have technology and data alone.

  In the digital transformation of many traditional enterprises, Ma Huateng positioned Tencent as a connector and a bottom-level hydropower. He said that Tencent will provide cloud computing, big data and Internet of Things support for traditional enterprises.
