It was already early 2026, ten years after the "Made in China 2025" initiative was proposed.

Made in China 2025 is an action plan issued in May 2015 outlining the first ten years of China's strategy to become a manufacturing powerhouse.

It contains a wealth of ideas and blueprints for innovation-driven development in the manufacturing industry.

China has high hopes for 2025, with key milestones such as the completion of "Made in China 2025," the reform of state-owned enterprises, and the 14th Five-Year Plan all set for 2025.

Of course, there will be a gap between reality and the blueprint. This is perfectly normal.

When we look back at the plans we make at the beginning of the year, we're lucky if we can accomplish even one-tenth of them.

Although China has caught up in many aspects, there is still a long way to go before it can truly achieve the next generation of industrial intelligence.

The idea of ​​using the deep integration of informatization and industrialization to lead and drive the development of the entire manufacturing industry is, in terms of this goal alone, not yet a deep integration of the industry.

The application of information technology in the manufacturing industry is only in some areas, not in the entire manufacturing industry.

The root cause lies in the meager profit margins in manufacturing, especially in low-end manufacturing. These meager profits mean there aren't enough resources to invest in information technology and intelligent manufacturing.

Therefore, the official announcement of the realization of Made in China 2025 was only based on an analysis of GDP and industrial output.

For example, how much has the proportion of mid-range industrial output increased, how much has the output of smart industry increased, and what goals have been achieved in industrial intelligence?

Then, even higher goals were set for the future "Made in China 2035" initiative.

This smart steel production base, a collaboration between Baosteel, Huawai, and Kechuang Biotechnology, is hailed as the opening chapter of China's "Made in China 2035" initiative.

High hopes were placed on both local areas and Beijing.

"Okay, I look forward to good news from Kechuang Bio. It is indeed a bit unreasonable to ask you to relocate your headquarters in a short period of time."

Kechuang Bio could start by setting up an R&D center in Shenhai to experience and understand Shenhai's business environment.

"I hope Zheng Li can visit Shanghai more often; maybe he'll fall in love with the local customs and culture."

Zheng Li still firmly holds the controlling stake in Kechuang Bio.

When a company's founder is still alive, even if the other party does not have a controlling stake, it is almost impossible for anyone else to take actual control of the company from him.

This is especially true for larger companies.

Even though Disney's founder did not hold a controlling stake in the company while he was still alive in the last century, he was the de facto controller of Disney until his death.

After Walt Disney's death, other Disney shareholders quickly wrested power from the Disney family.

Li Miaomiao smiled and said, "Definitely, Shenhai has the largest number of enterprises in China."

It must be because of the favorable business environment that so many small and medium-sized enterprises have gathered in Shenhai.

I believe that the business environment and profitability created by the Shanghai Municipal Government for enterprises are absolutely top-notch in China.

I will definitely encourage Chairman Zheng to come to Shenhai more often on business trips if I have the chance.

However, as you know, Zheng Li's current status is rather sensitive; he has to register with the Bureau of Abnormal Affairs whenever he travels or goes anywhere.

Zheng Li is the only mage in China who operates outside the national system.

His cooperation with the China Bureau of Abnormal Affairs was relatively superficial.

However, this does not prevent the Bureau of Abnormal Affairs from making some demands on Zheng Li.

"I was being presumptuous."

After talking with Li Miaomiao, the leaders from Shenhai also spoke briefly with executives from Baosteel and Huayi before leaving the venue.

He cut the ribbon and gave a speech at the Baosteel Baoshan Plant's smart steel production base, and then chatted with everyone afterward, which was already outside of his scheduled activities.

After the leader leaves, the atmosphere becomes much more relaxed.

Information technology has a wide range of applications in the manufacturing industry.

The steel industry is a particularly good application scenario.

Everyone can hear familiar internet concepts in the media: 5G, artificial intelligence, big data, blockchain, and other technologies are all shining brightly in the steel industry, which has a history of hundreds of years.

China's steel industry can be traced back to the Hanyang Steel Plant in 1890.

These technologies have a wide range of applications in the steel industry.

Take blockchain, which may seem unrelated to the steel industry, for example. In fact, blockchain technology has been applied in the steel sector for a long time.

For example, Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group (Pangang) has built its own warehouse data platform using blockchain technology to ensure that the quantity of steel entering the warehouse cannot be tampered with.

The most fundamental technology of blockchain is digital encryption and tamper-proofing. In the steel industry, the use of blockchain to store evidence during the transportation of steel products can ensure that digital goods are not tampered with.

The amount of goods produced is the same as the amount that will be shipped out of the warehouse.

In addition to the warehouse data platform, Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group also uses it for document storage, which will not be elaborated on here.

As early as the beginning of 2022, three Chinese government departments jointly issued a document entitled "Guiding Opinions on Promoting High-Quality Development of the Steel Industry".

The document clearly states that the application of technologies such as 5G and artificial intelligence in the steel industry should be promoted.

Baosteel's smart steel plant has directly implemented artificial intelligence in transportation, cold rolling surface inspection, ironmaking and other processes that can be achieved through artificial intelligence.

In high-risk environments requiring manual operation, all robots in the factory are remotely controlled by skilled workers through industrial VR after training.

The entire factory has been automated.

Meanwhile, the total number of workers in all operations is less than one-tenth of that in traditional steel production.
