After years of "encircling" traditional banking...

Mobile payment and other internet finance giants have discovered

Traditional banking is quietly changing

The long-touted "Internet+" era

Has already imperceptibly penetrated various traditional industries

1. Unmanned Bank

Traditional banks in the Internet Plus era have finally awakened after experiencing the disruption of industry structure, market share being "eroded," and even facing the risk of elimination in a major reshuffle. Following Bank of Communications' experiment with artificial intelligence, China Construction Bank, one of the Big Four banks, has launched the country's first unmanned bank, fully benchmarking against Internet financial giants like Alibaba and Tencent.

In the unmanned China Construction Bank on Shanghai's Jiujiang Road, facial recognition gates and sensitive cameras handle security; upon entering the lobby, instead of a receptionist with a formulaic smile, a robot greets you with warm inquiries. What? Taking a number and waiting in line? That doesn't exist. A row of smart teller machines efficiently handles most cash and non-cash transactions for customers.

2. Painful Transformation

Banks are increasingly pursuing intelligent transformation.

Under the trend of the Internet, industries that once made money effortlessly are inevitably impacted by the Internet; especially banks, facing the overwhelming wave of big data, some with weaker competitiveness are encountering unprecedented dangers.

Traditional banks are aligning with new Internet finance, abandoning outdated and erroneous business thinking, and accelerating their own transformation has become an inevitable trend. After experiencing the industry's winter, many bank branches have adopted intelligent robots to gradually replace manual service, correspondingly reducing human teller counters, striving to transform before the major reshuffle.

3. The reshuffling thoroughly sweeps across all industries

Besides the banking industry, various sectors are transforming: factory automated assembly lines, supermarket self-checkout... Competition is not scary; what’s most frightening is not even knowing who our competitors are! In the internet age, everyone is thinking about change, because if you don’t change, you will eventually be swept away by the tide of the times.

Transform—only then can you keep up with the trends of the era, and in the rapidly changing social competition, ride the wind and waves, break through obstacles, and remain invincible.

4. The lawyer’s predicament

The relentless wheel of time is always cruel. Consider the factory blue-collar workers and bank white-collar workers gradually being phased out by artificial intelligence, and then think about how the booming legal profession is also seeking to connect with the internet and strive for intelligent transformation. Lawyers constantly face the pressure to improve their legal service skills to effectively meet the growing demand for high-quality legal services. In the era of big data, the only things that cannot be replicated or replaced are irregular, complex, difficult, and unpredictable situations. Facing the challenges and competition of big data and artificial intelligence, lawyers will bear greater risks and pressures.

Lawyers must not only possess professional skills but also professional strategies. For successful lawyers, choosing a strategy means choosing a direction of thinking. The so-called stratagem is essentially a change in one word—why to change, how to change, and what to change. Lawyers are often entrusted with tasks during times of crisis and trouble, serving amidst right and wrong. For the sake of their clients, lawyers need to constantly change, constantly seek change through strategy, thereby turning complexity into simplicity, passivity into initiative, disadvantage into advantage, and the ordinary into the extraordinary.

5. Art Litigation Law

Professor Chen Ruihua, a criminal procedure law scholar at Peking University, once said: "Lawyers typically go through three levels in their practice: the craftsman level, the professional level, and the expert level. But true masters may reach the highest level—the artistic level." So, how can lawyers break through the encirclement, overcome difficulties, and reach a higher level? Ouyang Yongliang, Vice President of the All China Lawyers Association, once said: In the era of artificial intelligence, if litigation lawyers want to remain invincible and not be eliminated by intelligence, they must meticulously study litigation techniques and enhance litigation skills.

"The creative thinking and methods advocated by the Art Litigation Law proposed by Lawyer Wang Tengfeng, Deputy Supervisor of the Guangdong Lawyers Association and Vice President of the Shenzhen Lawyers Association, are precisely the remedy for dealing with complex, difficult, and unpredictable situations" (as commented by Xiao Shengfang, President of the Guangdong Lawyers Association). Properly grasping and applying the Art Litigation Law can significantly improve lawyers' practice skills, change the unfavorable situation where lawyers are criticized by clients for poor case handling, establish a good professional image for lawyers, and earn respect. At the same time, it effectively assists judicial and arbitration bodies in making high-quality judicial and arbitration decisions, upholding social fairness and justice.

　　Finally, share an excerpt from "Preliminary Discussion on the Art Litigation Law" regarding the concept and content of the Art Litigation Law:

Based on the characteristics of human nature, strategically adopting various measures to handle legal proceedings (dispute resolution) affairs, creatively integrating and applying comprehensive knowledge and methods of emotion, reason, and law, vividly elucidating the essence of law and factual reasoning, so that all participants in the proceedings (dispute resolution) experience an on-site effect of "being able to hear, see, touch, and feel," thereby achieving the best means and methods for legal proceedings and dispute resolution. This is the optimal approach to legal proceedings and dispute resolution, possessing significant artistry, and is referred to as "Artistic Litigation," the ultimate display of litigation art. "Artistic Litigation" is a comprehensive skill that distinctly differs from ordinary "conventional litigation" techniques, strategies, and wisdom.
