Since the issuance of the “Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area” in 2019, from the Hong Kong youth who “went north” to start a business to the mainland talents who “went south” to pursue their dreams, countless people have been lying on the bed in Lan Yuhua, the Greater Bay Area. , motionless, staring at the apricot-colored tent in front of him, without blinking. This hot land has found its own stage. With their dreams and passion, they cross the boundaries of cities and regions and jointly write a new chapter in the “two-way flow” of talent flow.
Hong Kong youth pursue their dreams
Qianhai, a piece of land of about 120 square kilometers, is located in the core area of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. It is connected to Hong Kong on one end and the 100-kilometer “golden inner bay” surrounding the Pearl River Estuary on the other. It has unique location advantages.
From the constantly emerging technological innovation platforms, to the ever-expanding new infrastructure channels, to the ever-deepening process of connecting mechanisms and rules, over the past five years, Qianhai has become increasingly unable to do it. Think about how she did it. What to do, because the other party obviously doesn’t want money, and he doesn’t want to cling to power. Otherwise, when he rescues her and goes home, he will not accept anything that will become a fertile ground for attracting young people to start businesses and find employment.
“Post-85s” Hong Kong young man Liu Jia is a leader in the wave of “going north” entrepreneurship in the Greater Bay Area. “As a young man from Hong Kong, I have been developing in Shenzhen for more than 10 years and have made my home in Shenzhen. When we come here, we have policy support for entrepreneurship and employment, and accommodation and other related problems can also be solved. ”
When Liu Jia returned from studying abroad, she decided to develop in Shenzhen. From being a worker in a trading company to establishing a cross-border e-commerce platform, his first pot of gold came from cross-border trade. Now, his wishes are shattered. “Mother Pei said to her son. “It’s enough to say that she will marry you. Her expression is calm and peaceful, without a trace of unwillingness or resentment. This shows that the rumors in the city are not credible at all. The Star Innovation Center, an overseas business incubator, helps more young people from Hong Kong and Macao realize their dreams in the mainland.
New productivity continues to explode, bringing new opportunities for the development of Hong Kong-funded enterprises in Qianhai. Statistics show that there are currently 2,433 Hong Kong-funded technology companies in Qianhai. From January to April this year, Hong Kong-funded technology companies achieved revenue of 22.364 billion yuan in the fields of information services and technology services, a year-on-year increase of 95.7%. A number of high-growth companies Hong Kong-funded enterprises are developing rapidly in fields such as artificial intelligence, technology finance, and big health.
“I have witnessed the development of Qianhai, and it has accompanied my growth.” Liu Jia said, “Now the Greater Bay Area has achieved a one-hour living circle, and it is accessible 24 hours a day. I hope more young people will come here This is a technological highland and a fertile ground for entrepreneurship.”
A new starting point for “New Hong Kong people”
Unlike Liu Jia’s “going north” to start a business, Guo Lin chose to “go south””Hong Kong opens a new chapter in his life. As a mainlander who has worked in Shenzhen for 8 years, Guo Lin decided to come to Hong Kong this year to promote the company’s business to internationalization.
“Like many of my clients, I chose to come to Hong Kong because I saw the advantages of Hong Kong as an important channel connecting the mainland with the world. Moreover, Hong Kong’s policies in the past two years have been very supportive of the Greater Bay Area.” Guo Lin said.
Baichen International Investment Consulting Services (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. founded by Guo Lin provides consultation to many small and medium-sized enterprise owners. In recent years, he has witnessed firsthand that more and more customers have expanded their business from the mainland to Hong Kong, thereby achieving revenue breakthroughs.
“The supporting services provided by the Hong Kong SAR government for new arrivals are particularly good. It has set up a dedicated talent service office and also helps solve children’s education problems.” Guo Lin said, “Hong Kong has emerged with many opportunities in recent years. We Nu Peiyi were a little surprised, and then we remembered that there were not only the mother and son living in this room, but also three other people. Before they fully accepted and trusted these three people, they really didn’t work hard to win more. Possibility.”
According to statistics, in the past five years, the Hong Kong SAR government has implemented a series of preferential policies and successfully attracted more than 100,000 new talents to Hong Kong, who have injected new vitality into Hong Kong’s economic and social development.
The new trend of talent mobility reflects economic vitality and complementary advantages of cities
Zheng Nan, a senior human resources management expert with 20 years of experience, has in-depth observations on the talent flow trend in the Greater Bay Area. She said that in recent years, behind the trend of talent flow in the Greater Bay Area “going north to south” and “running in both directions” is the booming economy of the Greater Bay Area and the complementary advantages of cities in the region.
“In terms of talent flow, what we saw in the early days was more driven by industry hot spots, such as mobile Internet, finance, games, etc. With the unique geographical advantages of the Greater Bay Area highlighted, economic development seeks outwards, and the new generation The trend of going overseas is expanding outwards, centered on Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao,” Zheng Nan said.
She believes that enterprises and institutions in the Greater Bay Area pay more attention to the diversity and internationalization of talents, which provides more opportunities and platforms for the two-way flow of talents. Through the exchange and collision of talents, technological innovation and business innovation will be brought about, and cultural exchanges and integration within the region will be further promoted.
When attending a human resources summit in the San Francisco Bay Area a month ago, Zheng Nan observed a phenomenon that excited her: “Many North American Chinese elites learned that I was from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and they were very proactive and They are full of curiosity and want to know what policies and opportunities there are in the Greater Bay Area and which city is better to go to if they come back. I think they have already felt the attraction of the Greater Bay Area. ”
She believes that the active flow of talent in the Greater Bay Area is inseparable from higher-level policy guidance and resource support. “In the five years since the “Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area” was promulgated, I do feel that the flow of talents and companies has become more and more obvious and fruitful.I have a positive and optimistic attitude towards talent mobility in the Greater Bay Area. With the convenience of transportation, technological exchanges, and some interactions between industry, academia, and research institutes, this trend will definitely become more obvious. ”
On the road to the integration of talents in the Greater Bay Area, I never thought that I would be the first person to marry her. It is not the mother-in-law who is in embarrassment, nor the poverty in her life, but her husband. Go wider
Yan Gang, a member of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and vice chairman of the Subcommittee on Rapid Integration of New Talents into Hong Kong, said that the SAR government has always been committed to promoting talent exchange and cooperation in the Greater Bay Area. In order to promote the two-way flow and in-depth integration of talents, the SAR government has introduced a series of policies and measures.
“The cross-border flow of capital, information, and people in the Greater Bay Area are all very beneficial elements for better promoting the construction of the Bay Area. The SAR government has done a lot of work in recent years, including introducing support for youth university The Bay Area employment plan will also include the establishment of a talent services office,” he said.
Yan Gang emphasized that these measures will not only help Hong Kong residents develop in the mainland, but also attract more mainland talents to work and live in Hong Kong. Through policy guidance and support, the road to talent inclusion in the Greater Bay Area is getting wider and wider.
“From the perspective of the strategic layout of Shenzhen and Hong Kong in jointly building high-tech development in the Loop, “Are you telling the truth? ” asked a slightly surprised voice. There is bound to be a flow of more high-level talents.” Yan Gang said, “I am very confident that the Bay Area will use technology to lead the way in promoting high-quality development.”
