○ On the evening of May 23, in Building A2 of the New Town Science Park Complex in Nanjing, the former Alibaba Jiangsu headquarters office area, hundreds of workstations are neatly arranged with encapsulated relocation boxes.
○ At the same time, 4 kilometers away, Nanjing Ali Center is brightly lit. Fan Wei, the person in charge of the park's service operations, was on the phone constantly, closely tracking the real-time dynamics of the logistics team and making final preparations for the upcoming unified relocation.
Nanjing Ali Center is a major provincial and municipal project, and is the first self-built and self-sustained park of Alibaba Holding Group in Jiangsu Province. Two days later, Alibaba's Jiangsu business all staff stationed in the "new home".
character used in Taiwan as a substitute for a real name (like "X" in English) In the economic map, the headquarters of the factory is a landmark business card, but also a strong magnetic pole.With the successive completion of new-generation digital parks such as the Ali Center in Nanjing, more than 40 Ali eco-enterprises and digital economy-related enterprises have moved in ahead of schedule, and the regional innovation ecosystem is being quietly reconstructed.
01Siphoning off spillovers and aggregating "cost-effective projects"
The future kitchen is officially open for business, the landmark building flying saucer turned on the lights, all over the electronic screen, "Jinling have heaven and earth, Ali leap new journey" logo glittering ...... Recently, the inside and outside of the Ali Center in Nanjing is dressed up, ready to meet the Ali students.
○ "This will be our last 'move'." Fan Wei said that since joining the company, she has personally experienced four relocations, including Zhongguancun (Jiangning) Industrial Park and Kowloon Lake International Enterprise Headquarters Park. Unlike in the past, the Nanjing Ali Center is Alibaba's self-built park, and this time it will be relocated to the Nanjing team of Alibaba Holding, Taotian, Cloud Intelligence, Local Life and other Alibaba businesses in Jiangsu.
From "renting" to "building", the opportunity dates back to 8 years ago. 2017, with the support of the province and city, Alibaba signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Jianye District to build a regional headquarters in the southern part of Hexi, with a total floor area of about 850,000 square meters, including 6 office buildings, 1 commercial street area, 1 shopping mall and 1 talent apartment. office buildings, a commercial street, a shopping center and a talent apartment.
○ Over the past eight years, a number of Alibaba's business sectors have plowed deep into Nanjing. For example.Ali cloud has supported Jiangsu manufacturing enterprises "intellectual change digital turn" landing more than 50 scenarios solutions; again, Ali local life hungry business services province more than 300,000 catering, retail, medicine and other merchants, the annual active riders about 300,000.
○"It can be said that this is the 'more cost-effective' project that Jianye District has attracted." The relevant person in charge of the Industrial Investment Department of Nanjing Jianye Hi-tech Zone believes that the more far-reaching impact of Alibaba's Jiangsu headquarters is that it has set up a "golden signboard" for regional investment. He introduced, because of Ali's smooth landing, amplified the park to do business environment brand effect, followed by many head enterprises, such as millet East China headquarters, Hang Seng Electronics Jiangsu headquarters have chosen to cooperate with Jianye, and Ali do up "neighbor".
The "high cost performance" of large factories has long been reflected in the industrial development of Nanjing. On both sides of Nanjing Software Avenue, the logos of leading companies such as ZTE, Huawei, Vivo and Chengmai can be seen everywhere. China (Nanjing) Software Valley, where it is located, with a land area of 1% to create the city's software and information service industry output value of about 35%. And the starting point of all this stems from the landing of ZTE.
○ "After ZTE came, Huawei also came in 2005. The two chain master leaders in the field of communications, continue to release the siphon effect, gathered a batch and batch of software enterprises." The relevant person in charge of the Nanjing Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology introduced thatIn 2001, Nanjing software business income of only 1.8 billion yuan; to this year, the software and information service industry has become the city's first scale of trillion industrial clusters.
○ In the Nanjing University of Information Engineering Jiangbei New Area Development Research Institute Director, Jiangsu Provincial Government Counselor's Office special researcher Ding Hong view, factory can drive the city and even the province through the reorganization of the elements of the value of the industrial chain jump, its leading role in the radiation far beyond the physical space limitations. In particular, Ali and other "new generation of large factories" carrying the arithmetic, algorithms and other new factors of production, complementing the construction of a modern industrial system in Jiangsu, the key pieces of the puzzle, will be a strong impetus to the integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation and development.
Jumping out of the economic realm, from the perspective of urban development, ZTE and Huawei have given birth to the butterfly transformation of Yuhuatai District from a suburb to a city. Millet, Ali and other Internet factories put into use in the park, but directly drive Jianye District to start the construction of the central science and innovation zone in the west of the river, accelerating the improvement of urban functions and infrastructure support in the southwest of the river.
02Constructing chains into clusters, "moving with Ali"
○ March this year, before the Alibaba Jiangsu headquarters, Nanjing Endpoint Star Technology Co., Ltd. has been "in advance" stationed in Nanjing Ali Center, the new office is located in the park T5 building 6th floor.
○"Endpoints start-up office in Hangzhou West Lake District, Ali Yun Feitian Park; later to Nanjing to expand business, the establishment of an independent company, and the original Alibaba Jiangsu headquarters office 'up and down'; this time stationed in the new park, but also learned that the headquarters in Jiangsu to move, follow Ali to move together. " Enterprise co-founder Lv Yihang introduced.
Endpoint has significant capital and business synergies with Ali. As an early provider of digital solutions for traditional enterprises in China, the founding team of Endpoint is "out of Ali", and some large centralized state-owned enterprises choose to cooperate with Endpoint, an important factor is that it has the technical genes of the Ali system; in 2018, Ali Cloud also made a strategic investment in Endpoint, and it still holds the largest single shareholders' shareholding ratio of 30%. The shareholding ratio is stable as the largest single shareholder.
In recent years, AliCloud has continued to import cooperation resources for Endpoint. In the Xinhua Bookstore online shopping mall project, Aliyun provides the underlying architectural support, and Endpoint Technology is responsible for application development and platform operation, which is similar to "laying the foundation" and "building the house", and this kind of joint business accounts for about one-third of Endpoint's overall business volume.
The deep synergy between large factories and eco-enterprises has been profoundly interpreted in China (Nanjing) Software Valley.Many enterprises in the valley started from undertaking the outsourcing business of ZTE and Huawei, and eventually realized the transformation and upgrading from technology OEM to joint development to ecological co-creation.Jiangsu Runhe Software Co., Ltd. started out as Huawei's outsourcing service provider, and now it has penetrated into the core circle of the Hongmeng ecosystem.
Compared with the "fission effect" of ZTE and Huawei in terms of technology and business, the "new generation of big factory effect" of Xiaomi and Ali is more complex and diversified. Take Ali's eco-partners as an example -
character used in Taiwan as a substitute for a real name (like "X" in English) Some are following the business board to NJ.For example, Ali's local life has led to the landing of more than a dozen enterprises such as Zongxin (Nanjing) Supply Chain Management Co;Some of them are internal Ali incubation turned into legalized companies.Ali tiling sheep from the Alibaba data center team "independent", and then to Nanjing to carry out business;Others have direct business dealings with Ali.Beijing Tianchi Juntai Law Firm, the first owners of the Ali Center in Nanjing, have been working with Ali Asset for many years.
○ In Nanjing Ali Center T4 building, also encountered in the Yu artificial intelligence technology (Nanjing) Co. The enterprise focuses on AI applications in the shipbuilding industry, the research and development of rust removal robots can realize the artificial replacement rate of "one against ten". The founder of the enterprise said frankly: "China's shipbuilding industry has accumulated a lot of data, but the industry experience has not been fully digitized. I hope to develop vertical AI models with the help of Ali Tongyi's big model, and implant a 'brain' for the enterprise's robotic products."
character used in Taiwan as a substitute for a real name (like "X" in English) When the big factory comes, everything is born.Public data show that the millet Nanjing Science and Technology Park has gathered 6 enterprises under the millet and more than 20 ecological enterprises. Jianye Hi-tech Zone specifically set up a special class of Ali, targeted mapping of Ali's key investments, business dealings with the enterprise, Ali ecological enterprises at a rate of about 10 per year rapid incremental, cumulative total of more than 50 have taken root in Jianye.
03Breaking the wall out of the circle and "developing our own ecology"
○ Urban "workers" are no strangers to Starbucks, little known is that Starbucks accurately capture the user's taste of the data center by the Nanjing Six Dynasties Cloud Intelligence Technology Co.
○ The enterprise focuses on providing digital solutions and AI solutions in the direction of new retail, and is a standard "big factory start-up" company. From the personnel point of view, the core team of the enterprise is transformed from the new retail business department of Whale Technology; from the business point of view, the enterprise is an eco-partner of Ali Overtime Sheep.
character used in Taiwan as a substitute for a real name (like "X" in English) Based on Nanjing's deep digital industry foundation and rich talent pool, Ali Overlay Sheep has established Nanjing Overlay Sheep Intelligent Technology Co.Into which, "hand in hand with ecological partners, together to create value for customers" slogan attracts attention, in addition to the six dynasties, there are Digital China, Zhiwei cloud, such as Ali tiling goat ecological enterprises in Nanjing in this centralized office.
○ "Ali Tiling Sheep usually provides standardized data products, but it can't be used 'out of the box', and it needs to be customized with the customer's industry attributes, and this part of the work is done by us, the partners." Zhu Yudong, founder of Nanjing Six Dynasties Cloud Intelligence Technology Co. Ltd, said that in 2023, the enterprise and Ali Tiling Sheep set up a delivery capability service center in Nanjing, which is dedicated to the delivery service of the data middle platform, and the cooperation projects include Feihe Milk Powder, Societe Generale Securities, Trina Solar and other familiar brands.
○ From the start-up to access to the ecology of Ali Tiling Sheep, Six Dynasties only took three short years, and its development trajectory reflects the broken circle reorganization of the ecology of the big manufacturers -
The predecessor of Six Dynasties is the new retail division of HaoWhale Technology, and HaoWhale Technology is born out of ZTE's enterprise ZTE Soft Creation, and Zhu Yudong himself has twenty years of experience in ZTE Corporation. Aliyun 2018 strategic investment in whale technology, six dynasties after the creation of the depth of synergy with the Ali system enterprises, "ZTE system" predecessor of the capital deposits and "Ali system" now the ecological empowerment of the partners at the same time in a business, the intrinsic link can be described as The intrinsic connection can be described as "inextricably linked".
○ Ding Hong believes that behind the breakthrough of the industry boundaries by the big Internet companies through the capital and technology ties is a qualitative change in the logic of industrial evolution.Distinguished from the traditional industry with physical parts as the link to the formation of the industrial chain, software-based, innovative Internet manufacturers to data, user traffic and algorithms as the core, the marginal cost tends to be zero, its chain group and ecology can quickly realize the cross-field integration of resources and value co-creation.
If Overtop Sheep is the ecology of Ali, Six Dynasties can be regarded as the "ecology of the ecology" of Ali. The six dynasties will continue to fission development in its own track, the ecological broken circle story seems to have no end.
○ Zhu Yudong confessed, "After the enterprise develops to a certain scale, we will also consider joining forces with excellent partners, focusing on the main business while releasing the marginal business to develop our own ecology."04Born and bred, "Cities will grow innovative rainforests"
○ Along with the Nanjing Ali Center put into use, Ali Alumni Association Jiangsu Chapter co-founder Zhang Jie frequently received calls from entrepreneurs, the core demand is to ask about the Nanjing Ali Center's admission policy. Zhang Jie himself once worked in the Ali Taobao team, and now is leading the team to develop intelligent marketing platform based on AI technology "customer acquisition magic", the direction of entrepreneurship is to rely on the original Ali's resources.
○ Based on the common culture, Ali alumni spontaneously set up various organizations and hold rich alumni activities.From this point of view, large factories have essentially become an integrated hub of new production factors in the digital economy era, which brings market resources, talent flow, technology diffusion, capital fission, can significantly enhance or even reshape the local industrial ecology.
○ "Nanjing Ali Center put into use, so that Ali alumni entrepreneurs have an 'anchor point'." Zhang Jie admitted that the previous alumni activities are centered in Hangzhou, in fact, Nanjing and the surrounding entrepreneurial alumni more than 700 people, there are a lot of alumni with Nanda University, Dongda University alumni and Ali alumni of the "double identity". Ali ecosystem of different "species", seems to grow independently, in fact, the roots are connected, in the long run, the interaction of various types of innovative elements and local university resources intertwined, will help Nanjing grow endless innovation rainforest.
character used in Taiwan as a substitute for a real name (like "X" in English) This year, Nanjing Ali Center launched the first national scene innovation ecological platform "scene magnetic field", unveiled "Alibaba alumni entrepreneurship base", "Magic Ride Community Developer Center" and "Aliyun PolarDB Database Adaptation Center" ecological service platform. Alibaba Alumni Entrepreneurship Base", "Magic Match Community Developer Center" and "AliCloud PolarDB Database Adaptation Center" ecological service platform.The series of initiatives corroborate the analysis of Lv Mei, Head of Strategy Consulting, East China, Jones Lang LaSalle, that "headline companies are transforming from space users to operators, reshaping the industry's logic through the interoperability of resources and service innovation."
○ As night falls, the luminous devices in the Flying Saucer Plaza of the Ali Center in Nanjing radiate an intertwined network of light, resembling a crisscrossed digital ecosystem. Ding Macro noticed that startups that have received leading investments and technological empowerment from big players such as Ali, Xiaomi, Tencent, etc., have a significantly higher probability of growing into unicorns.And the city's next gazelle, unicorn, may be in the making.
