Golden Finance reports that on May 28th, during an internal speech celebrating the third anniversary of Zero One All Things, Li Kaifu stated: "Next year will be Zero One's fourth year, the inaugural year of our original mission and second entrepreneurial venture, as well as the first year to establish a new paradigm of 'AI empowering industries'—others use AI to improve workflows, we use AI to transform client financial reports.
But the first year never arrives suddenly; it is a qualitative change built up from incremental quantitative changes over the past few years. More importantly, we have validated a truly healthy AI business model—our growth does not rely on losing money to inflate figures, but on high-margin, high-repeat purchase B2B ARR. This is the most honest business vote. As for the hard metrics of the first-year results: we must secure contracts worth 1.5 to 2 billion yuan and achieve substantial revenue this year; paving the way for a planned IPO.
More critical than revenue is profit: next year, in one quarter, we will become China's first AI 2.0 company to achieve profitability and break even. While the industry is burning money and competing on parameters, we insist on proving that AI companies can be self-sustaining, exchanging real customer value for real cash.
By that day, don’t call us the Six Little Tigers; call us the Golden Panther."
