Renowned technology commentator Wang Ziru has released a video on Bilibili, detailing his decision to leave both ZEALER and Gree Electric Appliances, while also announcing the launch of his second startup focused on artificial intelligence. In the video, Wang Ziru shared that in 2020, he unexpectedly secured an opportunity to join Gree, which he viewed as perfectly aligned with his aspirations for the industrial internet—a chance he couldn't pass up. He likened this opportunity to donning running shoes for a high-stakes race, acknowledging that while the path was challenging, it was also incredibly rewarding.
However, as Wang Ziru sought to integrate the latest AI technology into his vision, he recognized the need for deeper expertise, leading to his decision to leave Gree with a sense of reluctance. Wang Ziru emphasized that in order to thrive, he chose to return to his roots, leveraging his storytelling prowess to share his insights and understandings in the realms of the internet, AI, the physical industry, and consumer electronics with like-minded individuals. He hopes to embark on a fresh journey in an entirely new field, one that promises exciting possibilities for the future.
