　　Do you want to understand the changes brought by the Internet to the Chinese restaurant industry? The most intuitive way is to go to the streets of major cities and see the takeaway "knights" flying everywhere. Every dish they deliver, every route they drive, and even the pricing of every logistics cost is supported by Internet information technology such as big data and cloud computing. In recent years, "Internet + catering" has flourished and brought profound changes to the Chinese table.

　　The catering industry is fully "touching the net"

　　For many urban white-collar workers, the first thing they do after work in the morning is to open the takeaway software on their mobile phones to see if there is any food takeout that suits their appetite, and then place an order, pay, and wait for delivery… Nowadays, takeout not only penetrates into office buildings, student dormitories, and residential areas, but even on high-speed rail, they can open a mobile app or scan a QR code to book takeout in advance.

　　The changing scenes of daily life reflect the transformation of the Chinese catering industry. From the past of single-store marketing, paper menu ordering, and cash checkout, to the current prevalence of takeaway platforms, massive menu options, and online payment of meals, the Internet has realized a deep integration with the traditional catering industry.

　　Data show that in 2017, the national catering industry revenue 3.9644 trillion yuan, an increase of 10.7%. From January to April this year, the national catering turnover reached 1.2736 trillion yuan, an increase of 10.1% year-on-year, and continued to maintain double-digit growth. This means that China’s catering industry has been in a state of stable and high growth.

　　What are the intrinsic factors for achieving growth? The catering industry has been fully "connected to the Internet". With the in-depth application of Internet technology in the catering industry, the online catering industry has become the third regular dining mode for consumers other than "cooking by themselves" and "going to the restaurant". Statistics show that the size of the online takeaway market exceeded 300 billion yuan in 2017, an increase of 13.6 times compared with 20.37 billion yuan in 2011.

　　Changes in the food and beverage market go hand in hand with changes in people’s food and beverage consumption habits. It is reported that in online takeout, the order transaction volume in residential areas accounts for about 50%. This means that many people have chosen to use takeout instead of "cooking at home". A report released by the China Business Industry Research Institute confirms this change. The report shows that the user scale of China’s Internet food and beverage takeaway market has reached 320 million in 2017, and the user scale is expected to reach 360 million in 2018. Internet catering is drastically changing users’ food and beverage consumption habits.

　　"With the development of information technology and its continuous integration with catering companies, some catering companies have begun to shift to cross-border operations, and takeaway is a driving force. This not only brings greater business opportunities for catering companies, but also brings different catering consumption experiences to consumers," said Jiang Junxian, president of the China Cuisine Association.

　　"Unmanned Restaurant" is accelerating

　　In fact, "Internet + catering" is no longer as simple as delivering food. Recently, the opening of a "smart restaurant" in Qingdao has attracted the attention of local citizens. Customers can order food simply by scanning the code at the office or using the "smart restaurant" mobile app. The system also uses big data technology to recommend customers’ favorite foods. About 10 minutes after placing an order, customers will receive a text message with the cabinet number and the pick-up code to pick up the meal at the password cabinet.

　　"It only takes ten minutes for customers to walk from the office to the password cabinet, and then they can take out their own dishes and eat. The middle links such as ordering food at the store and waiting for food at the store are completely removed," the person in charge of the restaurant said.

　　Bai Xiufeng, dean of Meituan School of Catering, believes that online catering is already the trend and continues to deepen. "The typical consumer experience is to order and eat in advance, no need to queue up at the store, order food, no need to queue up to pay and issue invoices, etc. All aspects of dining are completed online," Bai Xiufeng said.

　　A step further than the "smart restaurant" is the "robot restaurant" or "unmanned restaurant" that has appeared all over the country. As early as October 2017, Alibaba’s first "unmanned restaurant" opened in Hangzhou. The highlight of the restaurant is the "face-to-face payment", which does not require mobile phones and wallets, nor cashiers and waiters, and intelligently orders food and leaves after eating. In February this year, Alibaba’s robot restaurant "Hema" Nanxiang Store in Shanghai opened. In this restaurant covering an area of more than 7,000 square meters, customers need to use the Hema app to choose a seat in front of the screen at the entrance of the restaurant. After taking a seat, they order food by scanning the desktop QR code, and the delivery robot will deliver the food to the table. The cooking progress and delivery process can be monitored in real time through the screen in front of the table.

　　Coincidentally, JD.com also announced on May 29 that its robot restaurant will be launched in August. The restaurant can be unmanned through robots to order, cook, and deliver dishes. The all-round robot chef can serve more than 40 dishes from eight major cuisines.

　　Industry insiders say that such restaurants will be available in major cities across the country in the next few years. Although it is not realistic to fully realize "unmanned", the realization of some functions is not out of reach. For example, the development of intelligence systems to replace ordering staff and cashiers; the use of welcome robots, service robots, intelligent cooking machines to carry out various operations; the use of face-swiping payment.

　　Personality diversity becomes a major trend

　　Nowadays, "Internet +" has been fully penetrated and deeply expanded in the food and beverage industry chain in terms of food procurement, system management, online and offline marketing, transactions, reservations, ordering, queuing, payment, comments, etc. In the context that mobile payment has become the mainstream payment method in the catering industry, and otaku men and otaku women have become important customers, how will the future catering industry change?

　　The report released by the China Cuisine Association shows that the demand for catering consumption is developing towards diversification. For practitioners, the increasing trend of personalization and segmentation, as well as the trend of multi-format differentiated management, will bring them many challenges.

　　How to "grab the stomach of young people" is a question that the catering industry needs to think about. According to Meituan’s statistics, young people aged 20-35 contribute 74% of the orders for catering consumption, and are the main force and new force of online catering consumption. Young people’s catering needs are more personalized and segmented, and they are also more willing to try a variety of novel things, which requires restaurants not only to meet the needs of young users in terms of consumption forms, but also to broaden their horizons in product development.

　　In the era of personalization and segmentation, whether Internet information technology can be deeply integrated with user requests directly determines the success or failure of modern catering practitioners.

　　Experts believe that the future development of the catering industry can be summarized as the three major trends of online and offline integration, supply chain vertical integration and catering retailing. "Through online and offline integration, data and technology, restaurants can turn every customer into a user and every user into a member in the future. Store managers can understand the preferences of each customer through big data and provide services for thousands of people. This is an innovation that the catering industry will definitely face."

In June this year, central enterprises achieved operating income of 2.9 trillion yuan and net profit of 166.48 billion yuan, up by 0.6% and 5% respectively.

In the face of the complicated environment, it is not easy for central enterprises to achieve positive growth in revenue and profit simultaneously. On the one hand, the excellent epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic achievements in China have created favorable conditions for the recovery of the national economy; On the other hand, the central enterprises have comprehensively deepened the work of improving quality and increasing efficiency, and made great efforts to expand the market, grasp production, control costs and stabilize investment.

At the press conference of the State Council Office held on July 16th, Peng Huagang, Secretary-General and spokesman of the State Council State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, introduced the specific situation of the economic operation of central enterprises in the first half of the year, and said that the economic operation of central enterprises had improved significantly, and the positive changes had increased significantly. In June, the income and profits of the same month achieved positive growth simultaneously.

In the first half of the year, the decline in revenue and profit was narrower than that in the first quarter, and both revenue and profit achieved positive growth in June.

In the first half of this year, most central enterprises were affected by the COVID-19 epidemic and encountered difficulties in stages. With the further consolidation of the epidemic prevention and control in China and the accelerated recovery of social production and living order, the production and operation of central enterprises have accelerated since May.

Peng Huagang introduced that in the first half of the year, the central enterprises realized a total operating income of 13.4 trillion yuan, down 7.8% year-on-year, and the decline was narrowed by 4 percentage points compared with the first quarter. The income decline has narrowed for three consecutive months; The accumulated net profit was 438.55 billion yuan, down 37.7% year-on-year, and the decline was 21.1 percentage points lower than that in the first quarter and 12.6 percentage points lower than that in January-May.

In June, central enterprises achieved positive growth in both operating income and net profit. Among them, the operating income was 2.9 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 0.6%, and most enterprises have recovered or exceeded the same period level; The net profit was 166.48 billion yuan, an increase of 64.63 billion yuan compared with May and a year-on-year increase of 5%. It was also the first time this year that the monthly net profit increased positively.

Depending on the industry, the production and operation of key industries have been accelerated and gradually improved.

In the first half of the year, the steel output, crude oil output, power generation and electricity sales of central enterprises have recovered to more than 98% of the same period last year; The orders for new ships increased by 21.2% year-on-year, the installed power capacity increased by 5.1% year-on-year, the sales volume of commercial coal increased by 1.8% year-on-year, and the alumina output and new orders for power generation equipment maintained positive growth.

In the second quarter, the sales volume of refined oil products increased by nearly 40% compared with the first quarter, and it also increased compared with last year. In February, the electricity sales of the two power grid companies plummeted by 10.9% year-on-year, and gradually recovered and improved. In April, the decline narrowed to -1.3%, in May, it turned into a positive growth of 4.6%, and in June, it increased by 6.5% year-on-year.

"The marginal improvement in the physical quantity indicators of basic industries such as oil, electricity and coal reflects the continuous improvement of the national economy and also boosts confidence in the economic operation in the second half of the year." Peng Huagang said that there are also military industries, communications industries and construction industries that contribute a lot to profits.

Looking at enterprises, the operation tends to be stable, and the monthly income and profits of most enterprises have recovered or exceeded the same period.

There were 57 central enterprises whose income increased year-on-year in June, and 33 enterprises whose income increased by more than 10% in that month. The net profit of 58 central enterprises in June increased year-on-year, and that of 46 enterprises increased by more than 10%.

Peng Huagang believes that in the face of this year’s complicated environment, it is not easy for central enterprises to reach a new high in June. On the one hand, the excellent epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic achievements in China have created favorable conditions for the recovery of the national economy; On the other hand, the central enterprises have comprehensively deepened the work of improving quality and increasing efficiency, and made great efforts to expand the market, grasp production, control costs and stabilize investment.

In the first half of the year, the investment in fixed assets was 1 trillion yuan, reducing the operating cost of the whole society by more than 120 billion yuan.

In addition to the positive growth of income and profits, the investment of central enterprises has also taken the lead in achieving positive growth.

In the first half of the year, the central enterprises invested 1 trillion yuan in fixed assets, up 7.2% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 5.9 percentage points faster than that in January-May and 11.7 percentage points faster than that in the first quarter.

Since the full resumption of work in March, the monthly growth rate of fixed assets investment of central enterprises has been 4.1%, 11.8%, 13% and 21.2% respectively, showing an accelerating trend month by month. In the second quarter, the accumulated fixed assets investment was 673.07 billion yuan, up 14.8% year-on-year. By industry, the growth rate of fixed assets investment in power generation, automobile, communication, metallurgy and other industries exceeded 15% in the first half of the year.

In order to help revive Hubei after the epidemic, on June 3, relevant central enterprises and Hubei Province signed a total of 72 cooperation projects with a total investment of 327.7 billion yuan.

With steady investment, central enterprises will continue to exert their efforts. Peng Huagang introduced that in the second half of the year, we will continue to guide and support enterprises to focus on improving industrial basic capabilities, breaking through the weak links of key core technologies in the industrial chain, maintaining industrial chain security and other areas to increase investment, and seize investment opportunities in new infrastructure such as 5G, industrial internet and data centers, actively and orderly promote project construction, do a good job in reserves of high-quality investment projects, actively absorb social capital, and broaden financing channels.

Focusing on the "six guarantees" and the implementation of the "six guarantees" task, the central enterprises have also made every effort to help small and medium-sized enterprises fight the epidemic, reduce costs and tide over difficulties, and resolutely implemented the national policies of reducing electricity prices, gas prices, tariffs, tolls and rents. In the first half of the year, the cumulative operating costs of the whole society have been reduced by more than 120 billion yuan.

Peng Huagang analyzed the composition of this 120 billion yuan: "The two power grid enterprises reduced the user cost by 54 billion yuan, the three communication enterprises made profits by 42 billion yuan, and the three petroleum and petrochemical enterprises reduced the energy cost of downstream enterprises by 18 billion yuan. In addition, the accumulated rent reduction for small and micro enterprises also exceeded 4 billion yuan."

In the second half of the year, central enterprises will continue to support the development of small and medium-sized enterprises in three aspects: increasing the supply of basic oil, electricity and coal transportation; Continue to implement the policy of reducing fees and making profits; Strengthen cooperation with various enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises in the industrial chain and supply chain, and use investment to promote the development of the entire industrial chain and supply chain. "Now we are actively carrying out the work of clearing the debts owed by central enterprises, especially those that have no differences with small and medium-sized enterprises, which should be returned as soon as possible." Peng Huagang said.

We will fully implement the "Three-year Action for the Reform of State-owned Enterprises" and strive to achieve the annual goal in five aspects in the second half of the year.

While speeding up the resumption of production and operation, the reform cannot stop. Recently, the 14th meeting of the Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform deliberated and adopted the "Three-year Action Plan for State-owned Enterprise Reform", and the prospect of state-owned enterprise reform in the next three years gradually became clear.

Peng Huagang introduced that the "Program" has four "highlights": First, it highlights the implementation and action, and puts forward clear task measures for the timetable and road map of state-owned enterprise reform in various key tasks, so that it can be quantified and assessed; The second is to focus on key points, fill shortcomings, strong and weak items, adhere to problem orientation, and propose targeted measures instead of covering everything; The third is to highlight system integration, coordination and high efficiency. Some reform tasks are difficult to be effective by one measure alone, so it is necessary to comprehensively use multiple measures and take a multi-pronged approach; Fourth, it is difficult to fight the annihilation war. The reform in some important areas has defined the objectives and time limit requirements, and concentrated on tackling the difficulties in the three-year operation.

In the first half of the year, the overall operating performance of central enterprises was better than expected. Can we achieve the annual target if we work harder in the second half of the year? Peng Huagang said that although the production and operation in the first half of the year laid a good foundation for completing the objectives and tasks of the whole year, all the work of the reform and development of central enterprises in the second half of the year was faced with difficulties and pressures, and these five aspects should be strengthened to achieve the goals: solidly promote the steady growth of the management and development of central enterprises; Fully implement the three-year action of state-owned enterprise reform; Fully promote the scientific and technological innovation of central enterprises; Actively promote the layout optimization and structural adjustment of state-owned capital; Do a good job in preventing and resolving major risks.

"Strive for the sustained and rapid growth of the benefits of the vast majority of central enterprises, and strive for the positive growth of the overall benefits of central enterprises." Peng Huagang said.

Looking forward to more partners gathering at the conference, working together to create a new situation of industrial Internet innovation and development.

In today’s rapidly changing technology, we have unknowingly used the convenience brought by artificial intelligence (AI). For example, when you handle business in Jinan Administrative Examination and Approval Service Hall, Jinan Taxation Bureau of the State Administration of Taxation and other business halls, the smart government service hall will provide you with convenience; when you use medical self-service equipment to handle business in Jinan tier 1 hospital, or use navigation for travel, AI is quietly helping you.

With industrial upgrading, artificial intelligence has become an important driving force for a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation. In Jinan, many companies in the field of artificial intelligence are constantly expanding application scenarios, fully mining the value of data, and using AI intelligence to empower modern industries to upgrade, promote social development to be more intelligent and efficient, and help cities become smarter. In this process, "industrial AI" is driving "AI industrialization", and Quancheng AI industry is accelerating growth.

Artificial intelligence leaders continue to climb and jump

When the national artificial intelligence industry is booming, Jinan has emerged a number of competitive representative enterprises in the industry. For example, Inspur and Shensi Electronics were selected as the top 30 AI China’s strongest artificial intelligence companies.

From the development path, empowering the transformation and upgrading of the real economy and the construction of smart cities has become a key area for Jinan artificial intelligence enterprises to continue to cultivate.

For example, Shensi Electronics has cooperated with Jinan Second Machine Tool and Baidu to implement smart factory solutions, promoting digital and intelligent transformation of key scenarios such as numerical control of stamping equipment product production and quality inspection, operation and maintenance and acceptance, maintenance and after-sales services, and promoting comprehensive quality improvement and efficiency.

In addition to the above applications, the artificial intelligence solutions created by Shensi Electronics have been applied in batches in industries such as energy, government affairs, medical care, emergency response, public security and finance. With such a wide range of industry applications, Shensi Electronics has only used it for 7 years. In this regard, Min Wanli, chief scientist of Shensi Electronics, said that the company has always maintained high-intensity independent research and development and technological innovation advantages, and accelerated the promotion of artificial intelligence empowered real economy innovation applications.

As a leading AI enterprise in Jinan, Inspur is also accelerating the inclusion of industrial AI, and has realized the implementation of industrial AI in the fields of finance, railways, electric power, transportation, smart cities, petroleum and petrochemical industries. For example, in the field of production, Inspur has built a world-leading server intelligent manufacturing factory. Compared with traditional production methods, manpower is reduced by 75%, production efficiency is increased by 30%, and production capacity is increased by nearly 4 times.

Deep empowering segmentation scenes break new ground

Application scenarios can be described as the vitality of artificial intelligence technology. From the development of Jinan artificial intelligence industry, in addition to the leading enterprises that have covered many industries with AI technology such as Inspur and Shensi Electronics, there are also a number of enterprises that focus on a certain field and are deeply empowered.

Zhongyang Health Technology Group Co., Ltd., which has been deeply involved in the field of medical informatization for more than 20 years, has become a leader in artificial intelligence application solutions in the medical field across the country. Its intelligent diagnosis auxiliary system for pulmonary nodules, intelligent diagnosis system for rib fractures, and intelligent auxiliary diagnosis system for coronary CTA have been used in more than 220 hospitals across the country; the ICD artificial intelligence coding system has reached the current leading level in China and has been used in hundreds of hospitals in nearly 100 cities across the country, successfully solving the problem of disease coding in the industry.

Just recently, the dynamic ECG intelligent assisted diagnosis system built by Zhongyang Health for many years was successfully launched in Juxian People’s Hospital. "From the application effect, it far exceeds expectations. It used to take 40 minutes for a doctor to see a 24-hour dynamic ECG, but now it takes less than 5 minutes to complete the ECG diagnosis after applying our artificial intelligence system. While improving the quality of diagnosis, it greatly improves the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment." Gao Xiyu, head of scientific research at Zhongyang Health, said. Behind such intelligence and efficiency is a large amount of training of massive data and excellent AI technical support.

Coincidentally, Lanjian Intelligent, which has been deeply cultivated in the field of logistics technology for 30 years, has become a leader in the field of smart logistics. As early as 2021, Lanjian Intelligent, with its honeycomb intelligent warehousing system, became one of the enterprises selected by Jinan MIIT for the "New Generation of Artificial Intelligence Industry Innovation Key Task Units". And its "Honeycomb E-commerce 4.0 System" caused a sensation in the e-commerce industry once it came out, solving the technical difficulties of "finding people for goods". It once achieved a super efficiency of 12,000 boxes/hour on "Double Eleven", handling nearly 150,000 goods a day, and only 8 pickers. At present, the Lanjian intelligent honeycomb intelligent warehousing system has basically achieved full coverage in the e-commerce industry, and has successfully built the world’s largest "honeycomb" multi-wear system in the e-commerce industry. In the opinion of Wu Yaohua, founder and chairperson of Lanjian Intelligent, automation can fly higher and farther with intelligent wings.

From the scene, go to the scene. For artificial intelligence companies, it is crucial to accurately grasp the pain points of the industry, deeply empower the scene, and get through the "last mile". Many artificial intelligence companies in Jinan are focusing on the need for continuous empowerment in the industry.

Quancheng AI industry accelerates towards 50 billion level

As an important engine of industrial development and urban butterfly change, the artificial intelligence industry has become a field where various places have rushed to the beach. Jinan is also accelerating the pace of development of this industry and continues to carry out the "AI Spring City" empowering action.

In terms of industrial development logic, the growth of the artificial intelligence industry requires not only a deep understanding of industry pain points and application scenarios, but also technical support. Behind this, computing power, algorithms, data, etc. are all important factors.

From the current development of Jinan, in terms of basic layer, Jinan has become China’s computing power highland. The production and sales volume of servers is the first in the country and the second in the world, and the production and sales volume of AI servers is the first in the world. It supplies more than 1/3 of our country’s servers and more than 50% of AI computing power. In particular, the National Supercomputing Jinan Center has achieved complete autonomy and control of core technologies in the field of supercomputing. In terms of software technology, Jinan artificial intelligence core software technology is basically mature, and open APIs integrating vision, voice, interaction and other technologies have become the trend of industrial development.

Based on many development advantages, Jinan has become the national artificial intelligence innovation application pilot area, a new generation of artificial intelligence innovation and development pilot area, and a national industrial Internet demonstration area. The only city in the country where "three zones are superimposed". Such advantages help Jinan become a "depression" for resource gathering – the major ecological project "China Counting Valley" jointly built by provinces and cities has been landed in Jinan and is accelerating construction. The first phase of the park was put into use in the first half of this year. In the future, it will become a new highland for the computing power industry and a new beacon for the smart industry; Huawei’s three major innovation centers and regional headquarters, Baidu Shandong data annotation base and other projects have all landed in Jinan; artificial intelligence island accelerated construction…

At present in Jinan, the artificial intelligence industry has formed a relatively complete artificial intelligence industry chain from basic support, core technology to industry application. In 2022, Jinan has 358 artificial intelligence enterprises, and the scale of artificial intelligence core industries reached 27.10 billion yuan, an increase of 17.6% year-on-year, driving the scale of related industries to 100 billion. 11 companies were selected for the MIIT industry innovation key task list.

Under the trend of new technologies changing with each passing day, how can Jinan artificial intelligence industry achieve a greater leap?

As a senior expert in the field of artificial intelligence, Min Wanli suggested that "industrial AI" should drive "AI industrialization", encourage AI + leading enterprises to create new kinetic energy benchmarking applications, and replicate to the whole industry through service to form a pattern of "Shandong Germination National Blossom". In development, AI will be turned into a service, and the government will build an AI empower platform, where AI companies and entrepreneurs will serve industry customers and lower the non-technical threshold for AI popularization. Min Wanli said that industry experts and front-line practitioners can be trained as AI navigators and practitioners, and a "doctoral + graduate + engineer + industry expert" talent ecosystem can be built; in development, it is recommended to create sustainable green AI, encourage the miniaturization of large models, avoid paving the path of computing power, and get rid of dependence on high-end chips.

For the development of the AI industry, Jinan has drawn a blueprint, which will further promote the "computing power, algorithm, and arithmetic" industry to become stronger, better, and bigger. According to the plan, we will strive to double the development of Jinan’s AI core industry by 2025, reaching 50 billion level, and driving the scale of related industries to reach 200 billion level.
