Huang Xiangcheng pointed that IP is the tool for innovation and startup, which can help enterprises to make proper changes on their products, by the way of "addition, reduction, multiplication and division". By IP, enterprises can realize goals such as finding ideas, forming a team, collecting capital, designing business models and profit models etc.

Currently, the core problem of the IP operation in China is the lack of professional management.
