00:00:15Okay, the city brain of tens of millions why can't it make money
00:00:18? The app has about 60 daily active users
00:00:22, 9.9 million a year, and the entire city brain has been paid for three years
00:00:26.

00:01:06Speak with facts ,

00:01:14Hello, audience friends, welcome to Focus Interview. In recent
00:01:18years, with the rise of big data digitalization, the construction
00:01:22of digital government has accelerated in various parts of the country. Many places have successively launched
00:01:26the construction of city brains or smart cities.
00:01:36However, there are also some local governments that have invested tens of millions of yuan in digitalization projects, but have fallen into the awkward situation
00:01:40of being built and idled, and operating and running empty
00:01:44. Not long ago, the digital projects in Qujing, Yunnan were reported to have
00:01:48been abandoned, halted, etc. Money was spent, and projects were built
00:01:51, but why couldn't they be used ? What
00:01:55was the real reason for the failure of these projects ? The reporter launched
00:01:58an investigation.
00:02:00The reporter came to a digital Qujing operation center in an industrial park in Qujing City, Yunnan Province
00:02:04. Here, Qujing City Brain and Qujingtong App
00:02:08and other projects were once built , but now it is empty
00:02:11. The empty office area shows that no one has been working here for a long time
00:02:15. When did they move
00:02:17?
00:02:22The office is empty, and the Qujingtong App developed by the company has also disappeared
00:02:26. Qujingtong is a city government service. On the
00:02:30streets of Qujing City, the reporter immediately interviewed some citizens, most
00:02:34of whom knew little about Qujingtong.
00:02:53Except for registering children for elementary school , this app is almost
00:02:57useless in daily life. The reporter then went to Qujing City data.
00:04:00approximately 21.54 million pieces. The provincial APP was built
00:04:03earlier, with more complete functions, and the common people are more willing to use it. Moreover, various
00:04:07places do not need to invest funds anymore. He just said
00:04:11that we only need to do some basic localization work
00:04:13.
00:04:16Then do we need to invest more funds or money to do this ? No. Not a single penny
00:04:19. Not a single penny. With the provincial platform, the local government
00:04:23affairs themselves belong to repetitive construction. The common people don't like
00:04:27to use it, so naturally it loses its vitality . So at that time,
00:04:41in 2021, under the promotion of the main leaders of the Qujing Municipal Party Committee at that time, Qujing introduced an enterprise from outside
00:04:45through bidding to invest , and reorganized the Qujing Digital
00:04:48Economy Company, and the government jointly built the city brain
00:04:52through service procurement . So what was the original intention
00:04:56of Qujing to promote the construction of the city brain ? At that time, it was also the
00:05:00city brain in Hangzhou, right , which brought
00:05:03great results to the entire city's governance . Everyone saw its
00:05:07benefits
00:05:08.
00:05:36Because it did not have its own technical capabilities, the local government handed over the lead in relevant technical demonstrations and solutions to external enterprises. The enterprises came up with a comprehensive city brain solution, including a database, a data capability center, an operation and display center named "Digital Cockpit", and Qujing Tong and "One Network Unified Management"
00:05:39two application platforms and other construction contents . This is the most important part.
00:06:12This is the contract signed by the government and the operating company at that time
00:06:16. In terms of service content, it only generally stated simple requirements such as operation
00:06:20management, data governance, and system operation and maintenance services
00:06:24. At that time,
00:06:26the entire city brain was
00:06:30. The understanding at that time was indeed relatively vague
00:06:33.
00:06:36Everyone was not clear. So , in terms of this content ,
00:06:40。
00:07:429.9 million per year. The entire city brain project has been paid for three
00:07:46years. The operation effect of the city brain is far
00:07:50from expectations, so how was the acceptance passed in the first place
00:07:53? Why did it continue to pay operating expenses for three consecutive years, nearly 30 million
00:07:57yuan
00:07:57?
00:08:14China is using its own way
00:08:18to achieve modernization .
00:08:20。
00:08:24Come on
00:08:26.
00:08:29This is the acceptance data for the project over the past three years. On average, there are more than five or six thick
00:08:33books each year, with a total of over a thousand pages.
00:08:36Taking 2024 as an example, the project acceptance was at 3:20 p.m.
00:08:40on November 4th. The expert group
00:08:44was established and the acceptance was completed by 5:20 p.m., a total of 120 minutes. The experts reviewed
00:08:48on-site, averaging more than ten pages of materials per minute, and these
00:08:51materials are highly specialized. The reporter found that the industries
00:08:55of these acceptance experts are diverse . Some are from compulsory drug treatment
00:08:59centers, some are from district courts , and some are from agricultural schools
00:09:03, hospitals, etc. They are clearly not experts in the data industry
00:09:07. How can such a rapid acceptance be carried out
00:09:10? This person in charge of the digital government department
00:09:15also participated in the acceptance meeting at that time. He told reporters that their acceptance method mainly focused on the construction content in the plan, to see if it was built
00:09:19or not
00:09:19.
00:09:27At that time, it was done according to the content
00:09:31of the early agreed operating plan
00:09:34, and after the experts evaluated it as qualified
00:09:37, it passed the acceptance . However,
00:09:41completion of construction does not mean putting it into use. The contract stipulates
00:09:45that there must be new application projects every year. In the acceptance data
00:09:48of 2024, a new data element operation platform project
00:09:52was added. Has this project been put into use
00:09:56? Has data trading been realized ? No, but as an application
00:10:00scenario with zero transactions, what do you think is the significance of its construction? The original expectation was
00:10:04still that it would explore the demonstration of this data element value
00:10:08, and operation could reflect and realize
00:10:11some of this.
00:10:25There is a risk of wasting financial funds . Qujing City Data Bureau and Digital
00:10:28Economy Company have communicated on how to improve the project functions
00:10:32, but no consensus has been reached . We are in the process
00:10:36of rectification, and they feel that the money we give is not enough
00:10:40for them to do more rectification.
00:10:42That
00:10:47is, it is to save financial funds. So
00:10:51, under the circumstance that the platform operation is indeed not good , it was finally decided
00:10:55why it is not very easy to use ? Software always gets better
00:10:59with use. Like the software installed on our phones
00:11:02.
00:11:06Continuously optimized. We can't get the money
00:11:07.
00:11:11Starting from 2025, Qujing City government decided not to pay
00:11:15operating fees to the operator . Qujing Data Bureau and Qujing Digital
00:11:18Company signed an agreement to terminate the contract. The city brain project
00:11:22ceased operations .
00:12:222021
00:12:38These platform companies, as investors, also feel extremely helpless . Since we invested this
00:12:42money into this company , have you received
00:12:46a single penny from this company
00:12:47?
00:12:59It is understood that the entire Qujing City Brain project has a total financial investment of 29.7 million yuan
00:13:03, and local state-owned enterprises have invested 17 million yuan
00:13:06. Qujing and local areas have invested a total of 46.7 million
00:13:09yuan. However, with the termination of the project, these investments obviously have not played
00:13:13their due role. The local platform company and the head of the data bureau
00:13:17reflected on this impulsive investment . For us
00:13:21, it's like promoting political systemization
00:14:11. Since 2022, the State Council has issued documents such as the "National Big Data System Smart Objects"
00:14:20. In January
00:14:212026, it also issued the "Mobile Interconnection Application Program Specification"
00:14:57. It's not blind. Everyone is doing it, right? The investment is huge, there's repetitive construction
00:15:01, and resources are wasted. Perhaps , these aspects also need further
00:15:05regulation and avoidance . Qujing's city brain
00:15:08used tens of millions of yuan in investment to learn a painful lesson. Digitalization
00:15:12is not the goal, but the means . The original intention of digital governance
00:15:16is for the public to be able to use it well. Only by seeking
00:15:19truth from facts and starting from actual needs , and from our own capabilities
00:15:23, can our electronic
00:16:34. Good afternoon everyone, this is CCTV News Channel, welcome to watch.
