Zhongguancun is "China's Silicon Valley," the origin of the argument, but for a long time, Zhongguancun represents a kind of it products and accessories distribution Center. Because of this, Zhongguancun pioneering street in the time was high hopes, and by the focus of countless spotlight on the attention, but, this street can reverse such an outsider to the view of Zhongguancun?

Recently, Rui observation has two visits to Zhongguancun Business Street. Unlike China, which has always been fastidious, the main street has added several big brands, and nothing else has changed. For example, the Dark horse will be busy decoration, Lenovo star on the first floor of the exhibition hall has been decorated, but has not opened to the outside, this street more or keep the original cultural streets of many elements.

Even so, in the eyes of some entrepreneurs and investors, this avenue of business is more than a few tech companies on the street itself. Rui Observation interviewed several industry celebrities, trying to clarify the following issues:

1, VC enterprises and entrepreneurs together with the reasons for the Zhongguancun Avenue?

2, Zhongguancun pioneering street and the United States, compared to Silicon Valley, what is missing?

3, Zhongguancun Business Avenue and Silicon Valley what is the same place? Is it the true meaning of "China's Silicon Valley"?

Lenovo Star Venture Capital Co., Ltd. deputy general manager Zhouzhiang, pioneering commune co-founder and Executive President Yi and Microsoft Asia-Pacific Research and Development Group director Shangjong received a sharp observation interview. For these two issues, the interviewees have a lot of points of convergence, such as:

1, Zhongguancun Business Avenue and Silicon Valley are like "together"

June 2014, Lenovo star entrepreneurial team moved away from the Finance Branch building, to Zhongguancun Business Avenue. Here they set up a showroom. Zhouzhiang to sharp observation that the purpose of moving to Zhongguancun Avenue is because this is the place where entrepreneurs come together, many organizations are here, Lenovo Star in addition to investment, as well as entrepreneurial services, near the point of the entrepreneur, conducive to work.

Yi that this culture is also one of Chinese characteristics, such as development Zone, a street, farmers market. China should be alert to the erroneous zone of formalism.

2, Zhongguancun pioneering street vs Silicon Valley from "likeness" to "spirit"

About Zhongguancun, many people's first reaction is the Sea Dragon, Ding Good, e world, even Silicon Valley computer city, in fact, the above place is more representative of a Computer PC distribution center, although in recent years, these places in the continuous transformation.

In Shangjong's view, Zhongguancun Business Street is quietly changing, more and more fan of Silicon Valley. For example, Zhongguancun Business Avenue, a café in the layout, 1 floor is a café, 2 floor is a large conference room, 3 floor can accommodate some entrepreneurial team office. This layout is almost identical to the Microsoft Cloud Accelerator.

3, are relying on the famous university resources and scientific research resources

Zhouzhiang that the United States has Stanford, Zhongguancun near Peking University, and of course, there are various research institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Yi also believes that relying on elite resources is a common ground, but at the same time, Yi stressed that there are some differences between the two sides, such as Silicon Valley teachers are both principals and capitalists, both teaching and business, but in China, but not so.

About Zhongguancun Business Avenue and the difference between Silicon Valley, the interviewees also expressed their views:

1, Silicon Valley is a natural formation, Zhongguancun pioneering street is the government to promote.

For example, Yi that Silicon Valley is not organized, but in China, Zhongguancun Business Avenue won the Zhongguancun CMC's strong support. In the framework, not the same thing, in the system, but also different.

2, Zhongguancun Venture Avenue and investment institutions and investors are still too few.

Zhouzhiang that there are too few investors in Zhongguancun. For example, Lenovo Star in Zhongguancun Business Avenue, there is a 20-person investment team, can see the project. But there are too few teams like Lenovo Star.

Yi also thinks that the domestic venture capital is much worse than Silicon Valley, in the United States these are perfect, from 1 to 2 rounds, the enterprise even if the loss of some people willing to buy your stock. But in China, many places value earning power.

3, Zhongguancun Business Street is very small, Silicon Valley is very big.

In this regard, the interviewees are basically consistent. However, the interviewees also stressed that although China is now very different from the Silicon Valley in the United States, but this does not prevent many good entrepreneurial projects in China, such as China's O2O better than the United States, (online taxis are in this category). Zhongguancun Business Avenue There are many projects, in the mode of innovation, micro-innovation are doing a good job, although in the technical innovation and the United States Silicon Valley has a certain distance.
