Walking between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, the new hardware means to them

It takes less than 10 minutes to walk from Shenzhen Futian port to Lok Ma Chau, and this is a short journey, but walking between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, you will obviously realize that there are different attitudes and ways of dealing with Internet entrepreneurship and new hardware.

For Shenzhen and Hong Kong, it is because the environment changed people, or people created the environment, which is sandwiched between the traditional and change the layer of "diaphragm" increasingly blurred.

It's a chance, it's a dick.

"Sir, from Beijing?" Look at your forehead sweat! The driver looked at me in the rearview mirror.

This is not the first time I have been to Shenzhen, but it is the most hot to no one. As I removed my cashmere scarf, I pulled out my cell phone from my trouser pocket and wrote this passage to my friend's circle.

Shenzhen needs design, innovation and feelings, do not need scarves, boots and autumn trousers.

I and a hardware cloud company in Shenzhen in charge of the face, he smiled and said: "Big fly I take you to hang around, we talk". And a half a month ago in Beijing to meet the difference is that this is his home.

As China's reform and opening-up since the establishment of the first Special Economic zone, Shenzhen unique characteristics I do not need to say, only from the point of view of the hardware, here is a copy fast, Low-cost, make quick money place. But don't look down on it, no matter who you are in the top 500, whether the company is listed on Nasdaq, the product has millions of fans, but any want to have a relationship with the hardware, it can not avoid the open Shenzhen.

However, Shenzhen no product thinking is a mishap. According to the entrepreneur's words: "Well, the air here is really good, but there is no such a product atmosphere like Beijing."

He went on to say: "The company's headquarters in Beijing, every once in a while on business trip over, but hardware related to me in Shenzhen directly deal with." ”

Many of the domestic hardware start-ups are the same routines, using Beijing's Internet thinking research and development products, combined with the inherent advantages of Shenzhen's hardware manufacturing. But here to emphasize is that a knowledge of hardware, understand Shenzhen, understand upstream and downstream, the unspoken rules and supply chain of product managers is the most important hardware win.

In Shenzhen, hardware is an opportunity for most entrepreneurs, but for the assemblers and inspectors, hardware is the lifeblood.

Flying in the circle of Friends "spit":

Great products are from Shenzhen, nor from Shenzhen.

A product but a lack of innovation

It takes nearly 1.5 hours to transfer from Lok Ma Chau to Central, and to pass the time I look around and attract a big flight apart from the "exquisite" Aberdeen and the overly "decent" school girls.

You can see people with no gender, age, nationality, skin tone, or body size, most of them wearing a table on their wrists. I tried to take a group of 10 people randomly in different environments to see how many of them were wearing watches. Results compared with Beijing, the data is surprisingly high, the most "strong" group of people wearing a table of 9, the minimum number of 6.

When I saw them love to wear Daniel Wellington, CASIO, Swatch, thought Pebble and Apple Watch will not seize the market? What will the hardware business be like in Hong Kong?

After graduating from Hong Kong Polytechnic University to join a start-up company for more than a year Dorothy gave me "poured n basin cold water." She said to me: "It's too hard to get an investment in Hong Kong, even if the position of the Government to provide the start-up company is rejected."

In Hong Kong, companies that offer internet services, games and hardware are almost impossible to invest in, and compared to these, it is easier to get money from people with other technology start-ups, and mostly government investment. The reason "Easy" is that the Government is aware that these technologies can be applied to security-related scenarios such as access and clearance.

Dorothy's go mobilize is a mobile business development company, and its main business is to optimize the web-side display on the mobile browser. While this may seem like a way to start a business in Hong Kong, the United States has already done so in 2007. For now, even more serious is that the go mobilize need a half day to finish the project, the United States a few seconds to do it.

"Conservative", Dorothy mentioned the word more than once.

Dorothy side also has students to choose entrepreneurship after graduation, but most of the local food. "One of them has a hot pot shop in Hung Hom and I hear it's a good business now." I can hear her a little helpless.

Hear here, how much I have just thought of hardware entrepreneurship in Hong Kong's vision of the brain to make up a few mouths.

Sitting in the middle of the Star Ferry from the central to Tsim Sha Tsui, the evening breeze bursts from Victoria Harbour, I did not deliberately nostalgia on the shore of the night, only the silence of the look at it.

When I can't find the meaning of existence
When I'm lost in the night
Oh ...
The brightest star in the night sky
Oh ... Please light up my way

I muttered in my heart.
