Huawei once again sponsors the Chinese Go League A, and AI smart games are popular among users

Ancient Chinese wisdom and modern intelligence have also begun to have a new resonance and integration, writing a new chapter in traditional wisdom culture.

1. Perfect integration of technology and culture

Go is a traditional Chinese culture with distinct national characteristics. Unlike other chess games, each Go piece is not divided into kings, princes, generals and ministers, but simply black and white. However, it has the most complex changes among all chess games. It can be said that the simplicity is the ultimate and it integrates yin and yang.

This has a very obvious similarity with modern technology. After all, the entire technological world is built on the two numbers 0 and 1. Ancient and modern wisdom and civilization converge at this point.

As an ancient sport, Go has always been the quintessence of China. But at the same time, with the increasing progress of modern life, traditional culture has gradually declined. From the perspective of attention, Go obviously cannot be compared with ball sports such as football and basketball. Therefore, how to make traditional culture flourish again has become an inescapable responsibility of the Chinese people.

Huawei's choice to sponsor the Chinese Go League A is indeed a strong support for this event. In addition to sponsoring funds, Huawei also promotes the popularization of Go in different scenarios, and plays an important role in promoting and boosting it. This role is probably difficult for other manufacturers to achieve. This also echoes the theme of Huawei's smart life. It can be said that Huawei's sponsorship of the Chinese Go League A is a perfect and complementary business cooperation.

As Lin Jianchao, Chairman of the Chinese Go Association, said, it is an honor for the Chinese Go League to be sponsored by a national hero enterprise like Huawei, and it is also envied by Go associations in many countries. It is with the strong support from all walks of life that the Chinese Go League was able to overcome difficulties and take the lead in resuming competitions, and adopt a centralized competition and training method to cope with the new situation. Inspired by the spirit of Huawei, we must overcome difficulties, cheer up, and run this year's Go League well, so as to train and accumulate conditions for winning more world Go competitions.

He Lei, vice president of Huawei Consumer Business Group Greater China, said in his speech that the cooperation between Huawei mobile phones and the Chinese Weiqi League is a win-win situation with mutual benefit.

He said: "On the one hand, we have integrated resources and launched a series of innovative and fun Go promotion activities, such as Huawei Academy Go Classes and Huawei AI Smart Game. On the other hand, Huawei's innovative products have injected technological connotations into Go: smart wearable devices reflect the heart rate of players in real time, and AI artificial intelligence assists in analyzing the trend of the game... The addition of these technological elements has made the sport of Go more interesting and fashionable, and more and more people have come into contact with and fallen in love with Go."

With more than two years of running-in, the two sides have become more and more compatible in the development of the Go industry, and have generated more and more points of resonance. For both parties, this cooperation can be regarded as a classic in the history of Chinese sports, and it also allows us to see the vigorous vitality of the ancient wisdom civilization.

2. Wisdom Resonance, When Technology and Culture Meet

The biggest difference between Huawei and the Weiqi League is that the cooperation is not limited to the title sponsorship. Huawei not only contributes money and effort, but also promotes the smooth development of the Weiqi League and vigorously promotes and popularizes the game of Go. This popularization and promotion is put into practice.

For example, the Huawei Academy Go class mentioned by He Lei, the signature course of Huawei's brand stores, not only attracts a large number of young people to learn Go knowledge, but also world champions often come to provide guidance to young people, turning Huawei's offline stores into a paradise for Go fans.

Huawei has also integrated smart technology into Go. The AI ​​smart chess system of Huawei's Mate 20 series of mobile phones in 2018 opened the precedent for playing Go on smartphones. While attracting attention from both inside and outside the industry, it also fully demonstrated the artificial intelligence capabilities of Huawei's Kirin chip.

Professionals have even evaluated the Go level to be the amateur 4th dan, which is the best result achieved in the field of artificial intelligence on mobile phones. Using the Go method to help consumers understand the level of artificial intelligence on mobile phones is a very commendable idea and has also played a very good role in popularizing science.

In the 2019 Weiqi League, Huawei brought many innovative smart features such as smart devices monitoring heart rate and AI-assisted analysis of chess game trends, which shows that it has made a significant step forward in the integration with Go. With the opening of the 2020 league, what kind of breakthroughs will Huawei make in the Weiqi League this year is even more worthy of everyone's attention.

On the one hand, 2020 is an extremely special year. Both domestically and internationally, human society is facing enormous natural and cultural challenges. On the other hand, Huawei will also take key steps towards greater independence in 2020. I think everyone has the greatest respect and expectations for what kind of answer it will eventually deliver.

At present, Huawei is building its own intelligent full-scenario world, whether it is the trinity of mobile phones, laptops and tablets, or the interconnection of all things such as smart watches, bracelets, and car computers, they are profoundly changing the life and office experience in the real world. And the application of artificial intelligence is also increasingly landing around us.

The new EMUI system and HMS service framework are gradually becoming the Chinese people's own smart portal. All these changes have only taken a few short years. Both the progress and the experience are very commendable. So I believe that the door to wisdom of the times is opening, and 2020 is a critical year.

3. Win-win cooperation to create a new model of business cooperation

Good cooperation brings more possibilities to both parties, which we can clearly see from the cooperation between Huawei and the Chinese Weiqi League. The Chinese Weiqi League has been rejuvenated with the participation of Huawei, and the game of Go has also been exposed to the vast number of users with a new and intelligent look. This is a comprehensive innovation in the promotion of sports, which has given the ancient sport a new look and given it more scientific and technological significance.

For Huawei, both mobile phones and smart devices have begun to have a deep integration and interaction with the Go League, using the powerful IP of Go to explain the spiritual core of technological wisdom, allowing people to see the humanistic side under technology, and see that traditional culture is the side that supports the foundation of science and technology.

Huawei has endowed the Chinese Weiqi League with novelty and trends, while the Chinese Weiqi League has endowed Huawei with depth and cultural support. The cooperation between the two parties has enabled both sides to see a better self and a better future. This is undoubtedly a perfect example of business cooperation and is very worthy of industry reference and learning.

The highest level of marketing is to sell without selling. Brand and quality cannot be created by shouting. Huawei's high-end mobile phones have continuously achieved brand breakthroughs in the past two years. In addition to the excellent technology of the products themselves, a very important reason is the cross-border brand and spiritual integration. Whether it is the imaging cooperation with Leica or the luxury combination with Porsche, they are all remarkable examples of cross-border cooperation.

In my opinion, the cooperation between Huawei and the Chinese Weiqi League is another classic brand enhancement initiative. Both the sport itself and the fans who love the sport are at a very high level.

This kind of cultural support is arguably what consumer products lack the most. From this perspective, this collaboration is also a win-win masterpiece, allowing technology and art to merge more quickly under the impetus of wisdom.

Continuous sports marketing has played a direct role in increasing Huawei's brand awareness and influence worldwide. The cooperation with Chinese Go has also had a profound impact on the high-end Go enthusiasts.

The challenges, wisdom and innovation contained in Go will all be reflected in the Huawei mobile phone brand. I believe that both Chinese Go and Huawei will win more severe challenges and reach higher peaks in 2020.
