Zhang Shaofeng

Zhang Shaofeng is the chair and CEO of Bairong Intelligence and the guest in 为什么公司用不好AI？从焦虑到行动的 3 个关键动作｜对谈百融智能张韶峰 and E225｜SaaS业数千亿市值蒸发：AI如何变革组织架构？. He argues that enterprise AI should be understood as a production-side shift that changes how office work is organized, measured, paid for, and managed.

Views In The Episode

• AI should not be treated as a simple tool upgrade; it can become labor-like work capacity inside companies.
• Traditional enterprises should start with bounded, high-frequency workflows such as customer service, marketing, contract review, and reimbursement before attempting broad process redesign.
• Human employees who teach Digital Employees need incentives, otherwise they rationally fear replacement and resist knowledge transfer.
• Existing software systems need APIs so agents can call CRM, order, and office systems as part of Agentic Workflow.
• Chinese enterprise software needs to avoid repeating the custom-project and person-day trap; Zhang favors Outcome-Based AI Pricing and service-fee models tied to work delivered.
• E225 adds his stronger SaaS thesis: companies ultimately want solved problems rather than seats, so Result As A Service, AI Staffing, and AI BPO can attack traditional per-seat software economics.
• He describes future organization as Silicon Carbon Governance, where Digital Employees receive roles, job numbers, KPIs, training, and retirement under HR-like management.
• He expects independent software vendors to evolve into Independent Agent Vendor builders and distribute specialized agents through an Enterprise Agent Store.
