Zheng Xinli: Self-Innovation Accelerates Industry Upgrade

At present, China's economy is now in a difficult stage of climbing. Last year, GDP per capita was 8000 dollars. It is estimated that by 2022, GDP per capita may reach $12000, and thus China will be ranked as high-income country. It is a difficult climbing phase to raise the GDP from $8000 to $12000, with most countries stopping at this level and falling into a middle-income trap. Whether China can cross this ridge or not, the key lies in our independent innovation to achieve a breakthrough, through reform to create new growth momentum.

Now, we have roughly four new kinetic energy, the first is the establishment of urban and rural integration system to release the new momentum of urban and rural integration development. The second is through the investment system reform, that is, the use of PPP model to increase the supply of public goods, the release of public goods supply kinetic energy. The third is through the tax reform, continue to promote the reform of the tax system, creating a favorable environment for the development of the third industry, so as to release the huge potential of the development of the third industry. The fourth is through independent innovation to promote industrial upgrading, so that economic growth from excessive reliance on resource consumption to rely mainly on technological progress, improve the quality of workers on this track. Therefore, innovation is of decisive significance for the current steady growth and structural adjustment.

There are many ways to innovate. According to the ways of our own innovation in recent years, there are at least ten ways of innovation for enterprises to choose from. Because each industry is in different industries, and the development stage is different, innovative ways can be varied. From the present point of view, there are mainly three ways to use more successfully in China, one is original innovation, the other two is introduction, digestion and innovation, and three is system integration innovation. In addition, we should pay attention to the following seven ways: the fourth way through industrial clusters to collaborative innovation. For example, we now chip in imports of $about 200000000000 per year, the national development and Reform Commission from "95" began to organize the independent manufacture of chips, and now there is no breakthrough. Can we organize an industrial cluster to jointly tackle key problems and share the results to overcome this difficulty? The fifth way is to combine production, research and production to innovate. Enterprises should closely integrate with universities and research institutions, and use the intellectual resources of universities and scientific research institutions to innovate around the technical problems in production. The sixth is the innovation of economic and trade integration. The introduction of technology through economic cooperation and public bidding is the most successful mode of the Three Gorges Hydropower station. Put forward a conditions of the left bank of Three Gorges power station power station 14 units bidding, bidding the first device to come up with 10% in domestic manufacturing, second to 20% in the domestic manufacturing, the last one to one hundred percent in domestic manufacturing, to carry out technology transfer to the US, and the question you are responsible. As a result, 36 countries have bid. Through the construction of the left bank power station, we have mastered the large hydropower unit technology. The right bank power station bidding, 12 units we won the 4, and China's independent design and independent manufacture, now is not only the 700 thousand generating units, 1 million hydropower units, China can also design and manufacture. China's hydropower equipment manufacturing technology has been in the forefront of the world. The seventh is international mergers and acquisitions. Now some enterprises in Europe and America are very difficult, but they have good technology. They have grafted him into the Chinese market by way of mergers and acquisitions. They have brought them back to life by using the Chinese market, and we also have mastered the technology. The eighth is to set up research and development institutions abroad, the use of foreign talent to innovation. The ninth is entrusted foreign research, such as coal oil, coal direct liquefaction, we can not do, commissioned by an American agency developed, we spent $100 million, intellectual property rights of one hundred percent is ours. The tenth is international cooperation research and sharing of results. In short, there are many channels for innovation. As long as we use our brains, we can always find innovative ways to rapidly improve our technological level through innovation.

Shenzhen international patent has accounted for 47% of the country, in recent years, the enterprise to submit an annual international patent in the top ten, China accounted for 5, the 5 enterprises in Shenzhen, is sometimes ZTE ranked first on the second, sometimes HUAWEI ranked first second, followed by Tencent, China Star etc.. This shows that Shenzhen has formed a number of innovative enterprises, these enterprises in the world are pivotal, leading the development of the industry.

Take HUAWEI as an example and summarize the experience of independent innovation from several levels. The first experience is to maintain long-term high-intensity R & D investment. The basic law of HUAWEI should not be less than 10% of the sales revenue. If it is less than 10%, the year-end summary should find the reason. They actually put in R & D to 13-14%. Last year, HUAWEI invested 59 billion 600 million R & D, a company to spend so much money to R & D investment, which is equivalent to the Chinese Academy of Sciences Research and development investment.

The second experience is open innovation. The party put forward in the third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee to choose the world, and use it, HUAWEI has done it. Which country has the long term in which, HUAWEI set up R & D institutions in the country, hired local experts to engage in research and development, R & D results is completely independent intellectual property rights of HUAWEI. HUAWEI has digital research in Russia, software in India, hardware in the United States, supply chain in Germany, and materials in sweden. HUAWEI has set up a research institute in the local area, which has made it possible to select talents from all over the world.

The third experience is step by step. Scientific research input can not be eager for success. It requires the accumulation of technology and talents, and it needs several generations of continuous accumulation of innovative achievements, it is possible to come to the forefront of this industry. The easiest thing for a Chinese to do is to be eager for success. In the 30 years before the reform and opening up, we were eager for success and made great leap forward. Now, we have to adjust the structure, mode of transfer, independent innovation, but also can not be eager for success, but also step by step, solid step by step forward. Through ten years and twenty years of efforts, such as HUAWEI, step by step, can go to the forefront of world technological progress.

I think the industrial enterprises should learn to huawei. Ren Zhengfei spoke at an interview with CCTV at the end of this year's national science conference. He said that China's 1 billion 300 million people do tofu, bean curd do well, sell bean sprouts, bean sprouts do well, you do what line of this line to achieve the world first, then our industrial upgrading problem solved. Ren Zhengfei is engaged in communications equipment manufacturing, HUAWEI's people are not stocks, not to engage in real estate, and ran to the communication equipment manufacturing in 20 years, 170 thousand people have 70 thousand people engaged in scientific research, mostly domestic graduate graduate students, the average age of only 27 years old, so a team to win the world champion. So we should sum up our good experience.

The fourth is to establish a new university, cultivating innovative talents, I Shenzhen Municipal Committee decision consultant, under secretary Ma Xingrui chaired the Advisory Committee's decision at the beginning of the meeting, I put forward the technology progress in Shenzhen is short of education, Shenzhen lack of a high level, innovative science and Technology University. Many comrades are in favor of. Secretary Ma Xingrui made a decision on the spot and decided to study how to build a high level innovative university in Shenzhen, and commissioned me to study the subject. I went to the United States, Hongkong investigated four universities, including Stanford University, University of California at Berkeley, California Institute of Technology, Hong Kong University Science & Technology, after careful investigation, the gap between us and foreign science and technology level, the main difference in college education level. For example, the California Institute of Technology university evaluation is running well, the most important is to look at the effect of the University, the Faculty of your industry, is you the Department in a large extent led to advances in technology related industries, this is an important symbol to measure the level of the school.

We are so many schools in China, which school, which department dare say I have led the technological progress of which industry, almost no one can find. But American universities dare to use this standard to judge whether your college is good or bad. We now enjoy the convenience of Internet electronic information, these achievements are the 70% universities in the United States created, is the university teacher created with the students, especially Stanford University, their science and engineering students from the first grade, each student has his own company, these teachers not only have their own company, also has its own patent. If teaching in Stanford University, does not have its own patent, not his company had put you away. I asked one of the only Asian American women professors in science and engineering at Stanford University. She had two companies, a company with a market capitalisation of $about 20000000000, and the teacher worked hard to innovate. Beside Stanford University, there is a small town of venture capital, the town is four or five story building, a look at the house, where coffee is the place. Stanford University teachers and students if there is a good idea, venture capitalists immediately take you around, to help you analyze your innovation which direction to development, the practical value of how someone will let you continue to deepen the study of tens of thousands of dollars. Tens of thousands of dollars have been spent, someone will give you hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is called Angel investment. Hundreds of thousands of dollars spent, and gradually trained to be listed, to the NASDAQ listing, raising hundreds of millions, billions of dollars, tens of billions of dollars, continue to deepen research. He has a complete venture capital system that is compatible with university teachers and students who are creative. So we can lead the development of IT industry in the world.

Ren Zhengfei said that in twenty-first Century into the carbon era, graphene, carbon fiber and so on, these may become the fastest growing industry in twenty-first Century. It is a great honor for Shenzhen to have a large number of enterprises to study graphene in this respect, and few carbon fiber companies. In addition, there are other major breakthroughs for us in twenty-first Century, including President Xi Jinping's recent efforts to build an autonomous, controllable and secure wireless network, and now faces a breakthrough. In addition, quantum communications are facing breakthroughs, and biological engineering is also facing breakthroughs. In this regard, Shenzhen has a very good foundation, and the results of the research in China are also at the forefront of the world. Breakthroughs in genetic engineering could produce significant results for agriculture and for human health.

In short, Shenzhen attaches great importance to the creation of an innovative university. After our investigation report submitted to the municipal government soon made Shenzhen to do an innovative university at the same time to enhance the resolution of the existing Shenzhen university level, including Shenzhen University, Southern University of science and technology, including Tsinghua University, Peking University, Harbin Institute of technology to recruit graduate students, undergraduate students in Shenzhen. Through the implementation of a group of innovative high-level universities, we should employ high-level teachers, train a group of high-level innovative talents to support the development of Shenzhen. We can also set up research institutes abroad and make use of foreign talents to serve the development of Shenzhen. I believe that Shenzhen will surely become the center of China and the world's advanced manufacturing industry. Thank you
