Sina Technology reported on the evening of November 28, at the "Shanxi Night" event of the 2024 World Zhejiang Business Conference, Zhou Hongyi, founder, chairman, and CEO of 360 Group, was invited to promote Shanxi Linfen. Zhou Hongyi pointed out that in the era of ai, entering the second half of digitalization or the second half of the internet, internet companies are no longer the main characters; the real protagonists are traditional enterprises. Therefore, for cities like Shanxi Linfen, the greatest temptation for digital enterprises is the presence of a large number of traditional enterprises, such as coking and steel companies, which have significant potential for digital transformation.

Zhou Hongyi pointed out that for large models in china to perform well, the most important thing is not to create a toy model that merely entertains by writing poetry and painting, but to truly integrate with the core business scenarios of enterprises to achieve cost reduction and efficiency enhancement. For example, in the cooperation between 360 and Jin nan Steel, 360 learned how much energy can be saved for one ton of steel and how much quality can be improved, which will have a tremendous impact on China's steel industry.

He pointed out that in the aspect of smart cities, 360 is currently building a system for Linfen to achieve city safety operation monitoring through ai. At the same time, 360 is also providing support for the development of small and micro enterprises, offering various free digital security guarantees. "We found that not only 360, but also most internet companies in china have coincidentally discovered Linfen's digitalization advantages, with Alibaba Cloud establishing a dual carbon digital economy industrial park here, Huawei's mining group co-building smart mines with 18 coal companies, and netease building a collaborative innovation center to continuously empower Linfen's cultural tourism industry," Zhou Hongyi stated.

According to Zhou Hongyi, he is currently planning to build a computing center in Linfen, enhancing the city's computing power, making the city smarter, and allowing more and more people to enjoy the convenience and efficiency brought by smart living. (Wen Meng)
