The Hangzhou government built up a website to build a paradise in Silicon Valley

In March 31, there was reliable news that Sun Xiaoyu, former president of Taobao, had started his own business plan in the near future and is currently in close contact with some venture capitalists. He has set the headquarters of the new company in Hangzhou. "Sun Xiaoyu chose to start a business in Hangzhou. He may want to be closer to Alibaba and cooperate more conveniently in the future. It is also out of consideration for the overall commercial environment in Hangzhou ." A local e-commerce company in Hangzhou believes that Hangzhou not only has several domestic B2B industry giants such as Alibaba and Wangsheng business Bao, but also has a developed industrial cluster. For the distribution of Chinese industry websites, there is an unwritten "Six" theorem in the industry-there are more than 3000 industry websites in China, with websites concentrated in the Yangtze River Delta region; well-known industry websites in the Yangtze River Delta region, another six of them are concentrated in Zhejiang, and are dominated by Hangzhou. In addition, the city life environment in Hangzhou and the concentrated advantages of colleges and universities allow enterprises to attract talents and reduce labor costs accordingly. More importantly, the Hangzhou municipal government has issued a series of policies to support the development of the e-commerce and animation industries.

"Win" enterprises back to Hangzhou for entrepreneurship

"Let's publish a hero's post !" An official from the Hangzhou municipal government proudly declared. Behind this is the strong strategy of Hangzhou to attract enterprises. According to the official, through various government departments to hold seminars, investment attracting conferences, and a strong Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce to carry out communications, we are inviting foreign electronic information enterprises to re-register in Hangzhou, or move the main business of the headquarters to Hangzhou. Among them, there are green line network, popcorn network and other active back to Hangzhou from Beijing. "We went to Shanghai for investment promotion in the first two months. Three-dimensional streaming media companies and a department of Shanda company are very interested. They may be settled in the Xiacheng district of Hangzhou. At the end of March, we had another team going to Japan to attract investment ." In 2006, part of NetEase's department was relocated to Hangzhou due to the government's efforts. "Ding Lei is from Zhejiang, But NetEase's headquarters is about to move to Guangzhou, so we will move the R & D center to Hangzhou ."

The Xiacheng district in the center of Hangzhou City focuses on the headquarters economy and the building economy. The Binjiang High-Tech Park is a newly emerging creative industry platform and claims to have concentrated 1/3 of Zhejiang high-tech enterprises. To attract these enterprises, the Hangzhou municipal government has given them a series of financial support and preferential policies. It is reported that Netease rented two small buildings in Binjiang Hi-tech zone in Hangzhou and signed a five-year contract, but they were used for free for the first two years. Fang Xingdong, CEO of cn.cn, has been operating in Hangzhou for more than two years and established Yiwu chinnet. He believes that Hangzhou has given entrepreneurs a loose environment.

Zhao pinhong, CEO of popcorn net, admitted to reporters that it was difficult for the company to receive attention and support from the internet companies in Beijing. In addition, the overall economic environment was sluggish and it had changed. When Hangzhou Mayor Cai Qi and his entourage held a meeting in Beijing and Zheshang in last December, the mayor of Xiacheng district was interested in the new model of popcorn net, we strongly advise them to migrate back and offer preferential conditions for taxation, financing, and leasing of office space. At the beginning of 2009, popcorn net officially re-registered the company in Hangzhou and rented it to a small building in Xiacheng District at a low price. This month, it will receive a government venture capital guiding fund totaling 6 million RMB.

Government Venture Capital Guiding Fund helps "incubate"

According to the head of an e-commerce website in Hangzhou, Hangzhou has always attached great importance to the development of the e-commerce and animation industries. In the second half of 2008, it began to emphasize the new business model, at the municipal level, it is required that enterprises at the district level discover and report innovative business models and provide support. In April of that year, the Hangzhou municipal government took the lead in introducing the "management measures for venture capital-guided funds". Mayor Cai Qihang Shuai set up the government venture capital-Guided Fund Management Committee, he hopes to help more enterprises participate in the construction of "paradise Silicon Valley" in Hangzhou, cultivate more Alibaba and business treasures, and form a more large-scale internet sector. According to reports, the government guiding fund is not for profit purposes, mainly reflecting the guiding role, supporting the development of early start-ups with independent innovation capabilities, and guiding the fund to focus on supporting enterprises in the initial stage, it also focuses on innovative enterprises such as electronic information, biomedicine, and knowledge-based services.

According to Zheng Qiding, project manager of Tonghui venture capital, who is mainly involved in the government Venture Capital Guiding Fund, the fund is mainly divided into two types: fund companies with staged investment and communications with a government background, and taobang venture capital companies with follow-up investment. The funds come from public expenditure. The government guiding fund aims to play the role of "getting two yuan in balance". On the one hand, it provides actual financial support to enterprises and stimulates more social capital investment in innovative enterprises in Hangzhou through guidance and demonstration. On the other hand, it can introduce a global vision, advanced concepts and management methods, and excellent talents to Hangzhou, so that enterprises can learn new business models.

Zheng Qiding revealed that since the first investment in Hangzhou Changxiang technology in last June, the government venture capital guiding fund has invested in seven projects, including joint power, Xueyi technology, Tailong, and Lianzhong technology, in 2009, the Hangzhou municipal government's venture capital guidance fund will be larger, and more than 20 projects will be invested.
