Chapter 955

"Skynet is a new idea I just had recently. To put it bluntly, it is to improve the monitoring of the whole city's public areas through various cameras. Once there is an emergency, the public security organ can directly access the camera monitoring data of the whole Skynet system."

As Li Mu said, he introduced the Skynet system that the ordinary people knew directly in his last life. However, Li Mu was also a little weak in his heart. He was not a person inside the public security department and did not know how Skynet operated in his last life,.

After hearing this, Fang Xudong and Lin Qingya basically understood Li Mu's idea, but they did not understand why Li Mu suddenly wanted to make such a public security monitoring system.

Li Mu explained: "first of all, as the Internet company with the strongest R & D capability in China, we have the responsibility and obligation to contribute to public security, which is our social responsibility as a large enterprise."

Said Li Mu Dun, and said: "secondly, with the development of the society, the market share of monitoring will become larger and larger. Whether it is the government, enterprises and institutions, private enterprises, self-employed households and ordinary citizens, to some extent, there will be monitoring requirements in the future. It can be predicted that there will be an unexpected outbreak of monitoring market in the future The market space is very large. If we start to be at the forefront now, what we will gain in the future may be a market with an annual scale of more than 10 billion, or even 100 billion. "

Fang Xudong is a technology giant, but he is not strong enough to control the market, especially the future market, which is even worse. So he can't help asking Li Mu, "President Li, the prospect of monitoring the market is so great?"

Li Mu nodded and said firmly, "I'm only talking about the video monitoring market. If it's the whole security market, the scale is much larger."

Although Fang Xudong and Lin Qingya are surprised by Li Mu's remarks, they both share one common feature: they have no doubt about what Li Mu said.

Li Mu said that this is a market that is likely to reach 10 billion or 100 billion a year in the future. Fang Xudong immediately took it as a market of 10 billion or 100 billion, and waited for Li Mu's next step.

"The video monitoring hardware I was able to think of at the beginning is generally divided into two parts, one is video hardware, the other is functional hardware," said Li Mu

"Pure frequency hardware is well understood, that is, the camera only responsible for video shooting, but if it is subdivided, there will be many subdivision areas, such as: remote control camera with movable pan tilt, zoom camera with zoom lens, or wide-angle camera, night vision camera head, etc."

"Most of the functional hardware is for the camera. In the future, if the camera is equipped with a detection radar, it can be used for security; if the camera is equipped with a speed measurement radar, it can be used for speed measurement photography; if the camera is equipped with a number plate recognition software, it can be used for license plate detection; if the camera is equipped with a flash, it can be photographed at night; if the camera is equipped with a thermal monitoring, it can be used for fire prevention..."

Li Mu said so much, and he continued to conclude: "in a word, in the future, the whole industry chain of surveillance cameras will continue to develop horizontally and expand its scope, and eventually form a huge product cluster, which will also cover more and more markets. So if we start early, we will accumulate enough technical advantages and form technical barriers We will be able to carry out further vertical development in the horizontal development market and at the same time at every entry point, and all the purposes will be summed up into one sentence: maintain the advantages and occupy the market. "

In Li Mu's impression, the term "electronic eye" will not appear until two or three years. Traffic monitoring and public security monitoring have not really entered the initial stage, which is enough to prove that the monitoring field is driven by demand rather than product driven demand improvement.

The so-called demand driven product development means that only when there is a certain demand can someone respond to the demand and develop products. Most industries have developed in this way. For example, when mobile phones and technology develop to a certain node, the reason why mobile phones are born is that human beings clearly have this demand at that stage and need to get rid of the shackles of telephone lines to carry out mobile communication Information, so there will be someone based on this need to invent mobile communication products.

In addition, it's a very exciting thing to drive the demand for products. It's also a mobile phone. Jobs launched the iPhone with full touch screen at that node. Before that, there was no such demand for mobile phones among the many demands of users, but jobs used excellent products to drive the demand for full touch screen mobile phones, and also laid the foundation for the IP The dominant position of smartphone market in the future.

In Li Mu's impression, there is an enterprise named Dajiang in China, which is also very remarkable in his eyes. Before the birth of Dajiang, ordinary people had no need for aerial photography at all, even did not know what it meant. Aerial photography was only a demand of professional film and television producers, but Dajiang made continuous efforts to make aerial photography drones deeper and deeper In the life of ordinary people, more and more ordinary people also have the demand for aerial photography. At the same time, Dajiang has occupied 77% of the world aerial photography market share. In terms of market share alone, Dajiang UAV is even more powerful than iPhone.

What Li Mu wants is to get involved in the field of video monitoring in advance before there is a strong demand for video monitoring in China. As soon as he comes in, he will take root in products, solutions and patented technologies. Like Dajiang, he will have his own technical barriers. In this way, when the security monitoring market rises in the future, he will be able to ride out the dust.Why can Dajiang occupy 77% market share in the fierce battle among so many UAV manufacturers in the world? A large part of the reason is its unique technology.

Dajiang's own image transmission solution, the first in the industry, is a civil UAV of several thousand yuan, which can realize 1080p high-definition and stable image transmission within a few kilometers, which has almost gone against the sky in the field of civil aerial UAV;

at the same time, Dajiang's flight control solution is also the first in the industry, and the flight control solution ensures the stability of Dajiang's UAV in flight In addition, Dajiang even develops its own electric motor, camera and PTZ, each of which has its own unique technology, forming a stronger technical barrier.

Such a strong technical reserve ensures that Dajiang can lead all other competitors in the industry as a whole, which is what Li Mu especially hopes his own enterprise can do in the hardware field in the future.

If Skynet system wants to be developed as soon as possible, and has excellent comprehensive performance and plays the expected effect, it is not enough to just buy some cameras to form a LAN.

We must work together from the three directions of hardware, software and combination of software and hardware. Otherwise, even if Skynet is set up, it is difficult to play the expected effect.

It's even possible that within half a year of installation, the comprehensive performance will be led by other products on the market. At that time, it will fall into an awkward situation: if not replaced, the performance will be insufficient; if replaced, the cost will be too large. At that time, I didn't make any contribution to the society, but it may be crucial that cities just invested a huge amount of money to set up Skynet system , we need to pay another sum of money to upgrade the whole Skynet system.

Fang Xudong thought about it for a long time, and said to Li Mu, "Mr. Li, you mean that we should acquire a powerful hardware manufacturer in advance, and develop monitoring equipment with various functions based on the hardware manufacturer. At the same time, we should also cooperate with the development of supporting software, and finally come up with a complete set of urban monitoring solutions, waiting for us in technology The advantages accumulated in this aspect are enough to drive the market demand and become the leading enterprise in the field of video monitoring. "

"Yes!" Li Mu nodded and said, "my goal is to accumulate enough strength and influence through Skynet system, and then use the popularity of Skynet system to promote the development of the whole video monitoring market. At that time, we will be Nokia in the video monitoring industry."

As he said, Li Mu sighed again: "sooner or later, we are going to enter the hardware field. If we are a computer, we can't escape the fate of a computer manufacturer. Almost all of the core hardware and software are in the hands of the oligarchs. If we are a mobile phone, the water is too deep and the upgrading is too fast. Now we are not enough in experience, technology or strength to wade into this muddy water. We should take advantage of it With the opportunity of Skynet, we can make contributions to the society, accumulate experience in the field of hardware, and seize a market opportunity at the same time. "

"In this way, we can apply for R & D funds and project subsidies from the government on the one hand, and sign a purchase intention agreement with the government on the other hand. In this way, from the beginning of R & D to the product landing, we have government support to avoid risks to the greatest extent," Lin Qingya agreed

Li Mu waved: "the reason why no one has done this kind of project is probably because everyone wants to let the government pay first."

In retrospect, when I was in college, the most favorite thing the school tutor liked to do was to engage in government projects. First, he drew a high-end cake for the government to invest. After the government invested the money, he took most of the money directly, and then left it to the outsourcing company to randomly stir up a little garbage. It was not really that he wanted to do things, it was just that he wanted to pit a little money from the government. The more people there were In the future, the government will be more cautious in supporting high-tech initiatives. Finally, the government is afraid to invest in some really meaningful projects.

Because of this kind of thing, Li Mu decided to develop Skynet by himself. Before Skynet succeeded, he didn't ask the government for a penny.

Therefore, Li Mu said: "Skynet system project is the concrete embodiment of social responsibility of Muye technology, so we will not go to the government to apply for a penny of R & D funds, pay our own money to do it, do it, take it out, the government really feel good, feel satisfied and then purchase, and we will never demand it if we are not satisfied."

"If we make it, Skynet system will be purchased by the government, and we will have a huge profit margin. If we fail to make it, we will lose tens of millions or hundreds of millions. If we don't make it, we haven't missed any step. As long as we don't touch the foundation of YY and go wrong in other fields, we will only lose a little profit, not even a fur Why not? "
