Internet Desert Nanjing: Why no one wants to start a business?

Since 2011, has been frequently asked: Nanjing's entrepreneurial atmosphere? Until now 2014, the atmosphere should be much better than before, but perhaps the impression of prejudice or what, still feel Nanjing http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/6934.html "> Internet entrepreneurial atmosphere is very general."

In fact, this is a very strange phenomenon, supposedly Nanjing is not lack of talent, geographical location is unique, the North and South access to convenient transportation, the government to build software cities to give the support of the strength is also quite large. The number of startups can be counted on just a few, every time to share a salon or meeting, met are also some familiar faces.

Talent-a lot of technical talent, few willing to venture out

As a provincial capital city, Nanjing is really not lack of talent, especially technical personnel. South Tech, south, southeast, River Sea, South Mail ... The small Nanjing City gathers 59 colleges and universities, each school has the computer department, let alone the Beida Jade Bird These specialized school also has the set up.

Although now always said that the university does not seem to learn what professional knowledge, but under the huge base, there are always some fresh and excellent blood will continue to be transported to the talent market.

To look at the mature talent, ZTE, Huawei, Motorola and other world-class companies have set up in Nanjing Research and Development Center, Software Avenue can be seen everywhere a variety of tall technology companies, each company reserves a considerable level of technical strength.

In the Software Avenue to work pelting, every day in the vast technology otaku crowd out of the subway station, not a minute they will be scattered in various office buildings, the whole street will be empty down.

Small partners in private also discussed many times this problem, a lot of talent, how are willing to stay in a large company high-intensity work, there are few willing to come out to toss one.

The problem will spread from the living environment of the city. Simply said: Nanjing is a very comfortable city, slow pace, small city area. In the company such as Huawei ZTE, fresh graduates also have a small 100,000 of the income, boil two or three years to 2, 300,000 is not surprising.

Such income is good in Nanjing, if you do not consider buying a house, you can live very decent. If you want to buy a house, save a few years also make a down payment can be done. Unlike Beijing, millions of on the Chiwan suites, casually dozen cars forty or fifty, a decent 200 per capita, the year into two hundred thousand or three hundred thousand, the most is around the poverty line wandering.

If it is Nanjing locals, most of the more comfortable with insipid, no big ambition, take such a salary has been counted above the level, a lot of good girls find a married family and live.

Well, the PO is the authentic Nanjing people, around a lot of Home-grown small partners, willing to toss a few, most of the small rich that Ann, driving a car bubble bar café, occasionally travel.

Anyway, everyone has a one or two suite, basically no financial pressure. More to pursue the comfort of life, the dream is to live well.

(No longer repeat why Nanjing is such a city, otherwise it will not stop to write long speeches)

If not locals, there will be in order to settle in this city pressure, unavoidable buy a house to marry daughter-in-law son. To the economic base OK, people have entered middle age, by the environment around the passion. This environment is not only the working environment, but also the living environment. It is really a very comfortable city.

The so-called environment to create people, the atmosphere of this life is too strong, competition and passion, although also in the small circle of embodiment, but still instruct not the trend.

Traffic-north-South access, this is a double-edged sword

One hour to Shanghai, Hangzhou City Circle, four hours to the resource center in Beijing, the north-south junction of Nanjing since the opening of high-speed rail, has been very convenient.

Ordinarily this is a good thing, but it is also a double-edged sword. Although it enhances the communication efficiency, but also greatly reduces the talented person flow the cost. Near the Suzhou-Wuxi economic development is faster than Nanjing, Shanghai is the opportunity to attract more and more talent inflow.

So it will be found that any kind of thinking, stay in Nanjing for a year or two ran. It is a vicious circle, the atmosphere is not good enough to keep the right people, not the right people to further aggravate the atmosphere.

Support-taking government money is not easy

321 Project Investment is very big, every year scattered a lot of money. A lot of people ask me: Why don't your company take it?

That's a bit annoying, so I didn't toss it.

321 has become an industry, once received a phone call: To help you take care of 321, after 55 divided into ...

Remember last year, friends with the introduction of the government talent to pause with a group of Nanjing is also a good internet circle people free talk. The atmosphere was unusually strange that night, this person to reverse the tide with powerful logic and incredible closed-loop rhythm stunned us all.

For this logic, raise a chestnut:

Everyone mentions Renren.

This person Shang said: Speaking of Renren, I thought of Ma Yun.

&......%￥￥&#

That's probably the rhythm. I sat on the left side of the public service that night, and listened to him for the whole evening until he said:

"I think there is no talent in Nanjing," he said. ”

"Then what kind of person do you think people call talent?" "Someone asked

"I think, Nanjing rarely find people who can communicate with me."

"Poof, people who can communicate with you are really rare." "I was silent all night, and naughty again

The government's definition of talent is very much, foreign study background, 211 College master's degree doctor, big company executive experience ... Do not deny that these are really talent, but the Internet entrepreneurs use this standard a sieve, about a few finalists.

Steady, not fast.

One day, he stumbled on an investor, he asked me: You Nanjing's start-up companies are not working overtime AH?

I thought about it.

He said he was looking at a project in Nanjing recently, and when he went to six, we all volunteered to come home from work.

Asked the boss, the boss said: We do not work overtime.

Then returned to the first topic, I said, this is a very living city. Go home to hold daughter-in-law son or bubble coffee shop bar, about 35 friends together to wash feet massage. Once I also like this, the next class to the coffee shop report, read a book chat, basic brain is not accepted working state.

After Beijing found that the rhythm has become so fast, here's the team here with Shing like, Rob Resources clock Rob the Iteration window period. When immersed in this atmosphere, do not feel that the work hours are called overtime, because the people around you are very hard, unconsciously also entered a fast running rhythm.

Of course, I can still be very proud to say that our Nanjing start-up company Foundation is very good, step-by-step steady.

But what cannot be overlooked is the rules of this fast-growing industry environment, it's possible that when you wear a sword for months, a product that feels perfect, another product of the same type has been iterative several versions, the user will first import and then slowly cultivate habits, unless the product is really good to let people scream only chance, Otherwise, the cost of robbing users is really huge.

Lack of other functional talents matching technical strength

Almost every month there will be friends asked: there is no reliable operation of talent recommended, there is no suitable business channel recommendations. Basic I in the brain once again, can only helpless reply: I think the reliable is about to dig not move. own training more reliable.

Aside from the way cattle easy to buy this does not say, start-up companies I can think of the business or operation of the reliable but so few, senior has million calendar of Zhu Xiaoxian, love whipped eggs Feng Yuanjun, after the easy preferential Ying (very proud and proud of this is my best friend, I brought her into the line now she is much more powerful), ah ~ ~ The other 1:30 will really not come out, of course, this is very subjective, I only think of the relationship with me a good few, there are some reliable social marketing are their own company ... These people are really hard to dig.

I often ask a question: What is good business?

(On this topic, I think you can write another article, if you are willing to provide me with some material and ideas, directly reply or add my personal number Gracetiantang to explore)

Next, the whole industry is shouting--product managers. This is not much said, it seems that all over the country are missing a good product manager.

Has the leader temperament person also rarely sees, many strength is enough, but says the story the ability slightly lacks some, has heard some salon speeches, most is too insipid has no appeal, compares the engineer thought. Do things very stable, strong sense of responsibility, ambitious but not bold, not daring enough to worry about particularly much.

A founder's appeal (or the ability to cheat) directly determines whether the talent will join, capital can not favor. I've seen a lot of good founders, but I always feel like I'm missing something. If you must say, it is probably the gas field.

Who let us sights the people?

At last

Aside from all the problems I have said, at least three years, Nanjing's Internet entrepreneurial atmosphere is in a good direction to develop.

Tencent Weibo last year to do a salon, afterwards Hadi eat and chat when he said: "2010 I came to Nanjing said mobile internet, only a few people come to see me." After more than a year, my time was full from morning to evening. Now we can do the developer salon in Nanjing, the scene of more than 100 people. I can feel the development of Nanjing, the atmosphere must be more and more good.

The former son of Millet also came to Nanjing as a developer salon, it seems that there are many people. The Thursday share of the imaginative exchange has been on track for a long time. 36 Krypton has been set up by the government. Then we also have a pedestrian cow such a listed company, is a benchmark bar it; the growing number of Tesco will also inject some fresh elements into the city.

No matter from any point of view, Nanjing is an indispensable place, in the future there will be more and more institutions with fresh ideas come here to preach and exchange. Believe in my hometown, will be better.

As to why I love my hometown so much, I still leave her.

The answer is: Nanjing can't go on, no company wants me ...
