Stay away from Beishangguang
To everyone's surprise, Alibaba is definitely a company that is not short of money, but the headquarters of this company left Beishangguang very tenaciously and gave up the qualification of a big company. However, Alibaba is one of the few super-large companies in China, so there is no difference between the fact that the qualification certificate of this big company is recognized by others and whether it is necessary or not. Alibaba's headquarters was chosen in Hangzhou, and many people are also talking about it.
Why do you want to leave a big city like Beishangguang and choose to settle in Hangzhou? To know that Hangzhou is just an ordinary second-tier city, many people have mentioned that Ma Yun has great feelings for Hangzhou, because Ma Yun has basically spent his whole life in Hangzhou since he was born and raised. On one occasion, Ma Yun went to the United States, and then a person actually shouted Ma Yun with a sign, saying that when Ma Yun was a tour guide in Hangzhou, he once took this American gentleman to Hangzhou to play.
Of course, Ma Yun also met his old friends again and recalled the past. As for what he said, we don't know. From childhood to school, and then from school to entrepreneurship, Ma Yun has spent most of his time in Hangzhou since the establishment of Alibaba. So many memories can really make Ma Yun pay more attention to Hangzhou, so it doesn't seem strange to set up a headquarters here.
Advantages of big cities
First of all, go to the first-tier cities for development, because it can help the headquarters to have more resources and cooperation channels. For example, if you start a company in a second-and third-tier city, if it is a big company, the partners you want to cooperate with are basically other big companies. And this second-and third-tier city may not find another big company now. You two need to communicate, even run long distances.
And if everyone establishes their headquarters in a big city, it will be very beneficial to the development of this company, because the exchanges between big companies will be more rapid and frequent. This is also the fundamental reason why the stronger the big company, the weaker the small company, because the resources of big companies are mutually utilized and can promote each other's development. And Ali set his headquarters in Hangzhou, actually giving up this fundamental advantage.
The advantages occupied by Hangzhou itself
However, everything has advantages and disadvantages. In places where large companies gather, the prices of houses and things are of course extremely expensive, and the cost of setting up headquarters in those places is unimaginable to normal people. So for the small city of Hangzhou, this is an environment and place where Ali can develop better. Cost is a key factor. Besides, Hangzhou also has its own advantages, such as the better scenery here.
It seems that a better company is not an advantage worth mentioning. For a company, in fact, more and more companies want to provide a better environment for their employees. A better environment can not only attract more talents, but also make employees more passionate in their work. Because for employees, they may be happier at work, so they are more efficient.
Hangzhou has been an outstanding place since ancient times. The water conservancy transportation here is very developed, but under the impact of modern shipping, the river transportation is getting weaker and weaker. So in fact, this is also an ancient city in China, with a large enough heritage. Under the transformation of modern culture, a very special modern water town in the south of China has been formed. In fact, many foreigners are full of praise after they come. It is expected that more large companies will choose to settle in Hangzhou in the future.
Changes of the times
Just now, we mentioned why big companies used to cluster in big cities. The most important reason is that people can communicate with each other more easily and improve their reputation in the circle of big companies. Today, times are different. The changes of the times have transformed the whole earth. Even thousands of miles away, you can simply conduct face-to-face interviews by video conference, so this is unnecessary.
Under such circumstances, it is no longer necessary for all these big companies to gather in the same big city, which will not only make the big cities more congested, but also continue to pollute the environment. Therefore, the future world may become more beautiful because of the Internet, and more corporate headquarters will have more flexible site selection. It is worth mentioning that Hangzhou is already a developed international city, and it may not become a new first-tier city in China in the future.
