Gao Liqiang, vice president of Jingdong Group and president of Jingdong Cloud Business Group, attended the special program "Economic Cloud Forum" of the two sessions and exchanged views with other guests on the topic of "How To Promote High-quality Economic Development of New Digital Infrastructure". For the new digital infrastructure, he said that today, when the "integration of digital reality" has become the main theme of the industrial economy, the sooner enterprises embrace digitalization, the faster they will benefit from the rapid development brought about by the new digital infrastructure. JD.com is both the original practitioner and the first beneficiary of new digital infrastructure. Nowadays, more and more brick-and-mortar enterprises are also actively embracing the Internet and digitalization, and with the help of digital transformation and upgrading, they can achieve business growth and leapfrogging.
The digital economy has become a major engine driving China's economic growth
New digital infrastructure is the cornerstone for promoting the high-quality development of the mainland economy. In January this year, the State Council issued the "Notice on the Development Plan for the 14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Digital Economy", proposing that by 2025, the digital economy will move towards a period of comprehensive expansion, the added value of the core industries of the digital economy will account for 10% of GDP, the ability of digital innovation to lead development will be greatly improved, the level of intelligence will be significantly enhanced, the integration of digital technology and the real economy will achieve remarkable results, the digital economy governance system will be more perfect, and the competitiveness and influence of the mainland's digital economy will be steadily improved.
JD.com is a new type of entity enterprise with both the genes and attributes of the entity enterprise, and the digital technology and capabilities. From the perspective of technical support for new digital infrastructure, JD Cloud has supported the operation of JD's intelligent supply chain by providing core technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, blockchain, big data, and Internet of Things, ensuring large-scale activities such as JD.com 618 and 11.11, helping enterprises reduce costs, improve efficiency and user experience. These digital and intelligent technical capabilities not only serve JD.com itself, but also provide technical services through JD Cloud to help more real economies achieve digital transformation. Whether it is rural revitalization or the digital transformation of large enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency, Jingdong has achieved a lot of fruitful results of "helping reality with reality".
As a link hub between the supply side and the consumer side, JD.com connects nearly 10 million SKUs and hundreds of thousands of merchants to connect to the industrial Internet on one end, and connects to the consumer Internet through more than 550 million active users on the other end. The huge self-operation model allows JD.com to have closer and closer insight into the production links, and to make itself closer to and understand the industry by superimposing logistics, finance and technology services, and then based on the industrial Internet, build a digital and intelligent social supply chain. Super digital capabilities make JD.com understand consumers better than consumers and understand the industry better than brand owners.
JD Cloud is the "cloud base" of jd.com's entire digitalization. Gao Liqiang introduced: "The task of JD Cloud is first of all to support the comprehensive operation business of JD Group, with the acceleration of the trend of digital integration, JD Cloud is promoting the sustained growth of scale, but also driving and benefiting more industries, driving the transformation of physical operations to digital operations, accelerating the digital intelligence process of more industries, and creating greater value for society." "So far, JD Cloud has provided digital solutions for more than 1,500 large enterprises and more than 1.52 million small and medium-sized enterprises, helping thousands of industries to achieve digital and intelligent transformation."
Digital transformation is the only way for the high-quality development of the automotive industry
The automotive industry is a typical large-scale discrete industry, with industry characteristics such as highly dispersed supply chain, complex production process, and precise product structure. At the same time, the growing demand for personalized digital consumption of automobile consumers requires the whole life cycle information correlation interaction of product development, production, procurement, after-sales service and other business processes, but at present, the horizontal integration of information at the design end, production end, supply chain end, sales end and after-sales service end has become a problem.
The Chinese Academy of Information and Communications Technology predicts the trend of digital transformation in the automotive industry: digitalization drives the production and business models of the automotive industry to change dramatically in the direction of electrification, intelligence and networking, and the industrial chain is more collaborative, open and shared. Based on the backward pressure of user consumption digitalization, the automotive industry needs to carry out practical exploration in industrial digitalization, digital industrialization, and data value. In addition, the cross-border integration between industries has also continuously promoted the development of digitalization, the innovation rate of automotive products has accelerated significantly, and more digital applications have brought consumers a better user experience, while also bringing more possibilities to automotive companies from research and development to sales.
"JD.com has a natural link with the automotive industry." Gao Liqiang said: "First of all, JD.com and auto manufacturers are facing the majority of consumers. At present, the number of car owners on JD.com is expected to reach 150 million, of which 50 million are annual car users, and about 30 million users have the demand for new or exchange vehicles every year. At the same time, JD.com has carried out the sales of new energy vehicles and the sales of auto supplies. Relying on JD.com's insight and understanding of consumers across the country, JD.com can help new energy vehicles enter thousands of households. In terms of meeting the digital lives of Chinese car owners, JD.com is a natural partner with automakers. "The trend of digital development tells us that which automotive company has a high degree of digitalization, the closer it is to the market, the closer it is to consumers, and digitalization has become a must-win battle for car companies."
Digital supply chain is the largest common divisor of digitalization of industries such as automotive and manufacturing
"From the supply chain, to the industry." Relying on JD.com's experience and technology accumulation in the field of supply chain, JD Cloud will work with partners in various industries to promote digital transformation. presently. JD Cloud can realize the optimization of integrated supply chain logistics including parts supply chain logistics, line-side production logistics, vehicle sales logistics, after-sales spare parts logistics, etc., helping automotive companies reduce operating costs, improve factory inventory turnover, and improve the timeliness rate of production delivery. With the integrated supply chain digital intelligence technology, we will promote the performance improvement of different elements from "cost, efficiency and experience" in the pre-production and after-sales links of automobile enterprises, and realize the improvement of business value. It is reported that JD.com has carried out in-depth cooperation with some car companies in the digital supply chain.
JD.com's leading technology applications can also promote the transformation and innovation of automotive companies from production to operation. For example, JD Cloud has tailored a BAIC hybrid cloud platform and digital marketing and user operation platform for BAIC Group, providing BAIC with cloud products and services such as databases, Internet middleware, and hybrid cloud management, as well as providing baicchi with services such as infrastructure leasing and hardware equipment hosting, which has greatly improved BAIC Group's IT resource management and collaboration capabilities, successfully saved 50% of IT cost investment, and achieved business satisfaction of more than 95%. Based on the accumulation of technology and experience in the field of Internet of Things, JD Cloud's intelligent IoT capabilities can open up online and offline service scenarios for car manufacturers, and realize the interconnection of people, cars and homes.
At the same time, JD.com is also constantly exploring in the field of automatic driving and has made certain achievements. In 2016, JD.com officially released the first unmanned delivery vehicle in China. During the epidemic period, the contactless distribution of Jingdong Logistics unmanned vehicles has also helped prevent and control the epidemic. The accumulation of autonomous driving technology has also become an important area for digital technology exchanges between JD.com and automobile companies.
Gao Liqiang said: JD.com will continue to do a good job in its own digital transformation, and will also take the accumulated technical capabilities and experience accumulation as a public service and form products to share with the outside world. JD Cloud will continue to broaden the boundaries of digital services, provide high-quality digital transformation solutions for automotive, energy, transportation, manufacturing and other industries, and create a clear digital and intelligent transformation path for thousands of industries.
