On September 23, at the Botanical Museum of the Beijing World Horticultural Association, Vanke 2019 media exchange meeting, Zhu Baoquan, dressed in blue pants and white shirt, held a microphone in one hand and did not forget to insert a bag in the other hand, "A few years ago, there were media reports that Vanke had a secret weapon called the 'Fertile Land Plan', which was responsible for Sun Jia, which was a nine-year plan, Sun Jia was in charge for three years, and now goes to the southern region, and the next three or six years will be promoted by me." Compared with the "science and technology empowerment" proposed by Sun Jia, the first "official" of Vanke to be the "chief science and technology officer of Vanke" a year ago, Zhu Baoquan's "sense of pressure" on science and technology came to the fore - "man-machine war".
From Sun Jia to Zhu Baoquan
Accompanied By Sun Jia rushed to the front line, he picked up the first burden of the southern district. Zhu Baoquan, CEO of the Property Business Headquarters, took over the "secret weapon" of the Wan Technology sector - the "Fertile Land Plan". In fact, in the technology sector, Vanke Service's attention even predates Vanke Group.
Back in 2013, Zhu Baoquan established Vanke's first "technology enterprise" in the property sector under his jurisdiction, Wanrui Technology, a subsidiary wholly owned by Vanke Service, and Yu Bin, then deputy general manager of Vanke Property Group, concurrently served as the general manager of Wanrui Technology. On the official website of Vanke Service, wanrui technology business types cover consulting, design, construction, integration, operation and maintenance and other building full-cycle, all-round, one-stop services, service objects cover residential communities, commercial complexes, office buildings, hotels, public buildings and other types.
Three years later, Vanke Group's independent company in the technology sector, Wanyi Technology, was established. In the same year, Vanke Group officially launched the "Fertile Land Plan".
From the timeline alone, for the thinking of science and technology, Zhu Baoquan is obviously in the front, which also makes him take over the "Fertile Land Plan" from Sun Jia's hands smoothly. "Internally, the property is done relatively early, there is currently a team of nearly 500 people, and Vanke has a team of almost 500 people on the fertile side, and the two sides add up to a team of more than 1,000 people, and we will replace it from the application-level technology and the underlying technology in both directions," Zhu Baoquan said.
Why Zhu Baoquan? Yu Liang's evaluation came more bluntly, "Property is a labor-intensive enterprise, but also a technology-intensive enterprise."
According to the development route of Vanke Technology empowerment announced by Sun Jia last year, in 2019, Vanke's technology sector has entered the second ladder - "digital stage", and building links, promoting sharing and fully realizing the value of data have become the focus of this stage. "In the past three years under Sun Jia's leadership, the Fertile Land Project has completed a series of layouts based on Vanke's internal structure, and we may carry a more important word next, called protech(real estate technology)," Zhu Baoquan said.
Digital Reading Vanke Technology: 1vs15, 24vs8
People need to sleep, robots don't need to rest, what if there is a man-machine war?
For Vanke Service, which is "one step" in terms of technology within the Vanke system, the changes brought about by technology are intuitive and microscopic.
"Thirty years ago, when Vanke Service was just established and ready to undertake operation, we had very strict requirements for security guards, and the security guards had to memorize the license plate numbers passing through the door in the community within two weeks of joining the company, and then found that half a month was memorized, and he left his job two months later, changed another person, and backed it again. Today we use license plate recognition technology, we can always write it down", in Zhu Baoquan's view, whether from the perspective of customer experience or from the perspective of quality results, some jobs are indeed better than people.
More cases of "machines winning over people" were also born within Vanke.
In the application of BIM technology at the structural end and the decoration end, it has brought "one-click decoration drawing", a change in the previous manual drawing, the machine completed the manual work for 15 days in one day; the intelligent construction site system that can detect the site condition of the construction site for 24 hours has replaced the original 8-hour manual inspection and inspection site;
After the "joint efforts" of Wanyi and Wanrui and the unified "commander-in-chief" by Zhu Baoquan, what will be brought to Vanke's "scientific and technological reform"?
In Zhu Baoquan's view, although the two are both technology companies under Vanke, they also have their own emphases. "For example, face recognition technology is more application for Wanrui in this regard, but bim technology and positioning technology may become the key technologies invested by Vanke in the field of real estate technology."
The former, on the other hand, now has a typical case of specific landing. Zhu Baoquan showed a video to the Nandu reporter, showing the real use of the intelligent access control system that has been put into use in a residential area of Vanke Property Service. In order to prevent people from "tailing" into the community after the owner, two doors are set up at the entrance of the community, both of which use the intelligent access control of face recognition, pushing the cart, taking children, raining days, foggy days, overexposing... All are not a problem, the owner only needs to wait at the door for a few seconds, you can "sweep the face to open the door" and automatically release. Zhu Baoquan said that in the past artificial era, the two access controls required two security personnel.
An economic ledger can clearly show the cost optimization brought about by the blessing of the technology system. In terms of input, the price of this smart access control system is equivalent to one year's labor expenses of two security guards, according to the amortization of fixed assets, using 5 years means that the labor costs of 6 / year security guards can be saved, and with the increase of service life, this gap will increase.
From the "Fertile Land Project" to the "Bodhi" backstage
Bodhi has no tree, and in the hands of Vanke, "Bodhi" has become the AI background of its science and technology sector, "in the future, we hope to continue to learn through the 'Bodhi' background and become more and more intelligent in the field of real estate development", Zhu Baoquan introduced, "Bodhi" background will not include the early planning, architectural design, decoration, supply management and other entire development process, to provide an algorithm platform. Next, there will be more applications in china's real estate sector, "but this is just the beginning."
Different from Sun Jia's insistence a year ago that Vanke will not become a technology company for a long time, Zhu Baoquan's attitude towards the evolution of Vanke technology should be more open, and a sentence of "golden rule" by Microsoft's new CEO Satya made him very agree - "In the future, every company may be a technology company, if you don't embrace technology today, it must be a dead end, but embracing technology must be a long road", Zhu Baoquan said, confidence, courage and determination Vanke has.
In the past three years, Vanke has begun to reserve talents in the field of real estate technology, and a large number of doctors, algorithm experts and other scientific and technological personnel have joined the Vanke technology team from abroad, bat and Huawei.
At the media exchange meeting a year ago, Sun Jia's hope for Vanke's technology sector is to make science and technology a new development engine when Vanke is 40 years old through "nine years and three stages." Today, a year later, Zhu Baoquan, who has embraced science and technology with open arms, "holds" the blade of science and technology, and targets the evolution of science and technology to the industry, "hoping that real estate can also have scientific and technological attributes in the future."
