to collect all the data.

能夠搜集所有數據的科技

But the real crux is what you actually do with the data.

但真正的關鍵是數據的運用

So the analytics part is critical.

所以數據分析的部分是很關鍵的

And at the end of the day, what you do in trading

因為終究而言，做交易實際上是在

is forecasting, so predictive analytics.

預測，所以就是預期式分析

We've always been in the predictive analytics.

這是我們這行一直在做的

We used human brain power in the past.

過去我們單純依靠人腦的力量來進行預測

But clearly, more and more, you're

但顯然的，會越來越傾向

using technology to help you to make better decisions,

drill for oil.

與以往完全不同

When we drill today in Argentina, for instance,

比方說，今天我們在阿根廷鑽油，

we send the core sample to Houston for analysis,

我們會把核心樣本送到休士頓進行分析

and we get a lot more information

然後就會獲得比以往

that was ever available before.

還要更多的資訊

We know where to drill and how to drill more efficiently.

我們會知道要在哪裡鑽油才會比較有效率

The other part is what is happening

另一方面，還有

in the world of artificial intelligence.

人工智慧的發展

We've got a lot more internal data through these systems.

透過這些系統，我們現在有更多的內部數據

We have a lot more external data through these systems.

還有外部數據

We've got a very large increase in computer processing

同時，電腦分析能力也大幅增長，

capabilities, and obviously, the development of

當然還有演算法的進展，

algorithms to identify different patterns.

讓我們能夠辨識不同的行為模式

We are looking at that.

這是我們在發展的一塊

We have a certain team within house

我們公司內部有個團隊

which is then looking at certain specific ideas

負責透過這些系統

that we have in this area.

對資料進行分析、解讀

And we've run the regular system with the paperwork,

針對一般的業務我們透過紙本進行，

the bill of lading, and so on and so forth,

像是提貨單等等，

and we did a parallel blockchain.

但同時也用區塊鏈進行處理

And the regular documents needed 40 days to get to destination.

傳統的那些文件需要花費 40 天達到目的地

Well, actually, the blockchain contract

而區塊鏈那組

managed to essentially conclude the same transaction

獲得的結論與紙本相同，

from beginning to the end in four days.

可是只花四天就完成了

That will have a major impact on funding requirement

這對一個期貨交易公司的資金需求

for a trading company and undoubtedly lower

會有很大的影響，也會毫無疑問地降低

the costs for the industry and make it more efficient.

這個行業的成本，提高效率

VAKT is being set up to create a blockchain-based digital

我們成立了 VAKT，來創造一個數位區塊鏈平台

platform that will really modernise the post-trade

這將使能源期貨交易產業

completion of the commodities energy trading industry.

在交易完成後的過程現代化

We're going to start in a few select markets

我們會先以幾個市場作為試點

with the goal of bringing something to operation

目標是能在今年年底前

by the end of this year.

能開始初步營運

From there, it can be scaled globally from 2019 and beyond.

繼而在 2019 年後開始拓展至全球
