Chapter 31: Future Industry Direction
I arrived at Yujie Villa and found myself in her original meeting room.
Chunlai made a PPT based on the lecture content and went into the conference room to work on it.
After a while, Sister Yu said, "Everyone is seated, let's go in."
There were more than 30 people sitting inside. As soon as I entered, someone immediately raised their hands and shouted, "Welcome Teacher Wan! We will succeed."
Everyone shouted.
I frowned.
Lu Yu walked to the podium and said, "Dear friends, bosses big and small, today, I invite Mr. Wan Shanhong to show you the way. Let us welcome Mr. Wan to the class with warm applause."
The applause was thunderous.
I stood on the stage and said:
"Someone just shouted slogans. To be honest, I don't really advocate for slogans. This isn't a pyramid scheme, nor is it a success story. The days of relying on slogans to embolden ourselves are over.
Now let me tell you something a little more exciting.”
Chunlai opened the PPT. A line of large characters appeared on the screen:
What is the Nine Purple Fire Luck?
I said, “Let’s start with the analysis of number nine.
Nine is the largest yang number, representing great change. Starting in 2024, the world will enter an era of great change.
Purple is a combination of blue and red. It's one of the most stimulating colors among the seven. It's also considered a very noble color, which is why the Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City.
Because of its noble status, ordinary people are not allowed to enter.
【离】means distance and leaving.
【Fire】is the light and flame emitted by burning objects.
I can see from the four words [Nine Purple Fire]:
The next 20 years will be a period of great change.
Ten years from now, many technological revolutions will leave you stunned. Just like the 1970s and 1980s, you never imagined you'd be unemployed. You'll have cell phones, computers, and access to the internet.
Ten years later, new industries that you can't imagine will dazzle your eyes.
Twenty years later, you will find that the ancient people in this world have lived in vain for thousands of years.
If you don’t believe me, ten years from now, in 2034, come find me, Wan Shanhong.
This is the meaning of [Nine]. It is called a great change.
So in what aspects will the big changes occur?
The focus is on the field of science and technology, so your slogans show that you are not keeping up with the times, which I don’t like.
The first item in the field of science and technology:
First, [new energy, electric vehicles].
At this point, someone stood up and said, "Teacher Wan, many people say electric cars are bad. Resolutely not buying electric cars, do you think this is a direction?"
"He doesn't have to buy it. The world is not ruled by those with short-sightedness, but by those with far-sightedness. Musk recently released the blueprints of his company's electric cars, including the open source code of the software."
"Teacher Wan, what is open source code?"
"Open source code is like a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation. For example, if your grandfather was a Chinese medicine practitioner and had a top-secret recipe that he kept for generations to make money, why would he make it public now? So that more people can get treated.
Similarly, Musk's release of the open source code for his electric car is pushing the world toward new energy. The use of new energy is a global trend."
The audience nodded.
Now, let me talk about the second point, the second direction of the future industry.
【Energy storage battery】
What humans need to solve is how to store electrical energy. In the future, the range of cars will be developed to 1,000 kilometers, or even further. Even high-speed rail will use [energy storage batteries]
3. Semiconductors and Chips
Fourth, [Aerospace].
Fifth, regarding medical devices, technological advancements and their use are extending people's lifespans. I want to remind everyone that longevity isn't achieved through some kind of regimen. It's entirely dependent on advancements in medical technology and the quality of medical care.
The place with the longest life expectancy in the country is not some health care base, but Shanghai.
Because of the high living standards and the most complete medical system, diseases can be treated promptly and effectively.
Sixth, [New Internet].
There was discussion in the audience, and someone asked, "Teacher Wan, what is the new Internet?"
I laughed and said, "You didn't know what open source was before, and now you don't know what the new Internet is? How can you survive in the future society and keep up with the development of the industry?
The new internet is artificial intelligence. If you couldn't write poetry before, now an intelligent robot can write a seven-character regulated verse for you in a second.
In the past, if you didn’t know English when you went abroad, you couldn’t get anywhere. Now you can carry an instant translator and talk to people.”
I feel like this group of people are not as good as me, a fortune teller. I, Wan Shanhong, can't invent these things, but at least I understand them. But this group of people seems out of touch with the times.
"Seventh, [algorithmic computing power], this is too far away from you. To use an analogy, Go and chess champions are worthless. Robots are much more powerful than them.
The purpose of [algorithmic computing power] is to act quickly. For example, when firing a cannon, a country with strong algorithmic computing power will calculate your position first, and before you can make a move, they will have already done so.
Eighth [Mobile device], I won’t go into details, you can still have a signal even when you are in the elevator.
Ninth [Shipping], including air shipping and water shipping.
At this time, someone stood up and said, "Teacher Wan, what you said are all lofty and noble things. They don't seem to have anything to do with people like us."
I sighed, shook my head, and said, "I shouldn't have come to teach you."
Lu Yu was startled and sat down staring at me.
I said, “You don’t have the capital or the knowledge to invent and develop these industries, but you can participate.
Let me give you an example. These products require parts. Can you set up a factory that specializes in processing a certain part?
New energy vehicles have batteries. Could you make a plastic tank cover? I have a relative who specializes in welding submarine propellers. If you master the skills, could you specialize in welding?
This is like someone else making furniture and you making a handle, you should know how to do it.
Zhou Qunfei became a millionaire by making mobile phone displays, even though she only graduated from junior high school.
I'm teaching you to identify your future direction, so how can it not be relevant to you? My point is that you shouldn't work in outdated industries. For example, if you're producing nails and want to sell them to furniture factories, you're going in the wrong direction. Nowadays, everyone uses screws.
We should move towards the direction of emerging industries and engage in upstream and downstream industries.
This group of people finally got it.
Next, I will talk about the word "purple".
"Nine represents great change, so what does [Purple] represent?
Purple represents the rise of the East and the decline of the West. This means the East is rising and the West is declining. This is the direction for the next twenty years.”
They remained silent, expressing their doubt.
I said, "Heaven and Earth have their own principles, and their operations are orderly. Purple refers to the Nine Purple Star, shining due east. This doesn't mean that our technology has suddenly surpassed the West. Rather, it means that our economy is thriving. Purple refers to [Purple Air Coming from the East].
If you want me to explain it in more detail, there is a business tycoon named Muzi. He is the most visionary business genius in the Chinese world. At the beginning of the reform and opening up, he aggressively acquired land. Later, after 2015, he gradually withdrew from his industries in the mainland and moved to other places.
Now, he has returned to mainland China to invest. This is a sign of things to come, so I won't elaborate on it.
Purple also represents dazzling."
I kept talking about the word "purple" until Lu Yu reminded me that it was almost lunchtime. Then I said:
"Take a break and continue the lecture in the afternoon."
