President of Shenzhen Smart Retail Association, Mr. Hua Tao giving the opening speech

President of Shenzhen Smart Retail Association, Mr. Hua Tao stated that at present the retail industry is facing transformation to enter the fourth stage, the Smart Retail. The two major reasons for this change are the technology progress and consumption upgrade, the former having the crucial role. He indicated that the consumption model changed from B2C to C2B and then to C2F. The next step is going to be F2C, this means enterprises will conduct research of the specific consumer group consumption demand through new technologies such as Internet technology and Big Data analysis. In this way, enterprises provide the product or service to target the specific consumers’ needs. This is the current development direction of Smart Retail.

Senior Director of Tencent Open Platform, Ms. Hu Hao gave a speech titled A Brief Discussion on Tencent’s Observation of Smart Retail.

Speaking of Smart Retail, Senior Director of Tencent Open Platform, Ms. Hu Hao expressed that it means stepping on the path of an independent business. The core of Smart Retail is the ecologicalization of consumer-oriented retail activities. All spheres related to retail such as production design, logistics, storage, centralized procurement, physical sales, service activities, operation management and capital flow are being gradually integrated into digital and smart platforms. Finally, this leads to optimization of retailers’ benefits and consumer experience and realization of autonomous businesses with smart decision-making based on the Internet of Everything.

As a new disruptive technology driving the society, blockchain leads the global technological change and a new industry revolution. It is expected to be a vital channel for global technological and business model innovation. At present, China’s blockchain technology continues the innovation, experiments and implementation to make China the leading power in the new generation of information technology. The implementation of blockchain in areas such as clothing industry, supply chain finance, credit inquiry, product traceability, etc., can promote the technological and organization change of the economic system and essentially contributes to building the modern economic system.

Waltonchain COO, Monitor Chan stated that the trend of IoT development has been rapid in recent years. He predicted that the number of IoT terminals will reach nearly 31.6 billion units in the next five years. However, IoT also has its weaknesses, such as lack of interface standardization, insufficient security, insufficient data collection, centralization and the increasing operation and maintenance costs. The decentralization and tamper-proof features of blockchain can effectively empower IoT to solve these problems.

Waltonchain is the first enterprise in the industry to put forward the concept of Value IoT to rooting in the effective combination of blockchain and the IoT. Under the background of blockchain project surge in the first year of blockchain implementation, to launch a technological application is the common pursuit of blockchain advocates. The global leader in blockchain + IoT, Waltonchain released two blockchain + industry solutions at China Smart Retail Conference and Blockchain+ Technology Application Summit.
