In 2018, the industry underwent a major reshuffle, starting with China Construction Bank……

After years of “besieging” traditional banking

Mobile payment and other internet finance giants have discovered

Traditional banking is quietly changing

The era of "Internet Plus" that has been championed for years

Has already imperceptibly penetrated various traditional industries

1. Unmanned Bank

Unmanned Bank

Traditional banks operating within the Internet Plus environment have finally come to their senses after enduring a shattered industry landscape, market share being “eroded,” and even facing the threat of being eliminated in a massive reshuffle. Following Bank of Communications’ experimentation with artificial intelligence, China Construction Bank, one of the four major state-owned banks, has also launched the country’s first unmanned bank, fully benchmarking itself against Internet finance giants such as Alibaba and Tencent.

At the China Construction Bank's unmanned bank on Jiujiang Road in Shanghai, facial recognition gates and sharp cameras handle security. As you step into the lobby, instead of a lobby manager with a formulaic smile, you are greeted by a robot that asks about your well-being. What? Taking a number and waiting in line? That does not exist. Smart teller machines help customers efficiently handle most cash and non-cash transactions.

2. Painful transformation

Banks are increasingly pursuing intelligent transformation.

Under the sweeping trend of the internet, industries that once profited effortlessly have inevitably been hit hard by its impact. Banks in particular, in the face of the surging wave of big data, are finding that those with weaker competitiveness are confronting unprecedented peril.

Traditional banks are aligning with new Internet finance, abandoning outdated and erroneous business thinking, and accelerating their own transformation has become an inevitable trend.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. A complete reshuffle sweeping across all industries

Beyond banking, industries across the board are transforming: automated assembly lines in factories, self-checkout in supermarkets... Competition isn’t what we fear most; what truly terrifies us is not even knowing who our competitors are! In the Internet era, everyone is contemplating change, because if you don’t change, you will ultimately 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 Dilemma

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. Literary and artistic rights litigation

Professor Chen Ruihua, a procedural law scholar at Peking University, once said: “The practice of law typically progresses through three tiers: the craftsman tier, the professional tier, and the expert tier. But true masters may reach the highest tier of all——the artistic tier.” So how can lawyers break through the siege, overcome the dilemma, and ascend to a higher tier? Mr. Ou Yongliang, Vice President of the All China Lawyers Association, once said: In the era of artificial intelligence, if litigation lawyers wish to remain invincible and avoid being rendered obsolete by intelligent systems, the only path is to meticulously study the art of litigation and elevate their litigation skills.

“ The creative thinking and methods advocated by Lawyer Wang Tengfeng, Vice Chairman of the Guangdong Lawyers Association and Vice President of the Shenzhen Lawyers Association, in the lawsuit for safeguarding literary and artistic rights, are precisely a good way to deal with difficulties, complexities, and unpredictable changes; (Evaluation by Xiao Shengfang, President of Guangdong Lawyers Association). Properly utilizing literary and artistic rights litigation can significantly enhance lawyers' professional skills, change the unfavorable situation where lawyers are criticized by clients for poor case quality, establish a good professional image of lawyers, and be respected. At the same time, it also effectively assists judicial arbitration and other institutions in making high-quality judicial arbitration, safeguarding social fairness and justice.

 Finally, I would like to share an excerpt from "A Preliminary Discussion on Literary Rights Litigation" regarding the concept and content of literary rights litigation

Based on the characteristics of human nature, various strategic measures are taken to handle legal litigation (dispute resolution) affairs, creatively integrating and applying comprehensive knowledge and means of emotion, reason, and law, vividly explaining the original meaning and factual truth of the law, and making all participants in litigation (dispute resolution) generate a sense of "; Can hear, see, touch, and feel; The on-site effect is the means and methods to achieve the best litigation (dispute resolution) effect, which is the best method for legal litigation and dispute resolution, and has significant artistic value, known as "ldquo; Lawsuit for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Rights; It is the ultimate display of litigation art. “ Lawsuit for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Rights; It is clearly distinguished from ordinary; Conventional Litigation Law; The comprehensive skills of litigation techniques, litigation strategies, and litigation wisdom.
