Alibaba Jiangxi Experience Center was established to help VR achieve high-quality leapfrog development

Jiangxi Province and Alibaba Group signed a series of deepening cooperation agreements in Nanchang to deepen cooperation in digital economy, smart services and other areas, especially to strengthen cooperation in the construction of "Ganfutong" and VR industry, to help Jiangxi achieve high-quality leapfrog development.

"The establishment of Alibaba (Jiangxi) Co., Ltd. and Nanchang Customer Experience Center is Alibaba's second government-enterprise cooperation digital economy talent training base in the country." Qian Meng, general manager of Alibaba Group's Central China Strategic Development Department, said in an interview with reporters recently, "We hope that through the construction of the base, we can attract more talents to Jiangxi and build Jiangxi."

It is reported that after the completion of the customer experience center, Alibaba will continue to invest more technology and introduce more teams in e-commerce, digital government, industrial transformation and upgrading, and look for more points of cooperation with Jiangxi.

"VR town is the highlight of our cooperation with Jiangxi." Qian Meng introduced that on the one hand, the construction of the park will help the town to be more technologically advanced and technically supported through the introduction of software and hardware facilities; on the other hand, VR-related companies will be introduced. "We hope to expand the content platform with Jiangxi, so that after the companies move in, there will be more opportunities to expand related industries."

When 4G came out, a large number of apps emerged like mushrooms after rain. Qian Meng believes that in the future, 5G will create a new trend and will be a great boost to the VR industry.

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

"VR is a new trend, and everyone is at the same starting line. I am very optimistic about the future of Jiangxi." Qian Meng said, first of all, because Jiangxi's business environment is very good. This is the most personal experience given to him in the past year of cooperation between Alibaba and Jiangxi. He believes that more and more companies will come to Jiangxi in the future. The second is Jiangxi's firm determination to develop the VR industry. Although VR is being deployed in various places, there are relatively few places like Jiangxi that have elevated it to a provincial strategy and hope to promote it in a way that creates a world-class IP. "This determination, coupled with a very good business environment, has laid the foundation for Jiangxi's advantages in the start of the VR industry."

The government sets the stage, and enterprises perform. "The development of the VR industry depends on talents. How to attract talents is a very effective way to promote the development of the VR industry. We are willing to work with Jiangxi to do this well." Qian Meng said.

Since June last year, Jiangxi Province and Alibaba have carried out in-depth cooperation in ten major areas including government services, social governance, people's livelihood security, industrial upgrading, and e-commerce. The number of electronic certificates and services on the government service platform "Ganfutong" ranks first in the country; Ant Financial's MyBank has served 500,000 small and micro enterprises and individual operators in Jiangxi, and provided nearly 20 billion yuan in loan support to more than 300,000 rural users.

Qian Meng said frankly: "We hope to invite leading technology figures from all over the world to this VR conference. Through communication and interaction with them, we can provide more forward-looking guidance for the development of the VR industry, create greater influence for the conference, and attract more companies to Jiangxi."

Why does Alibaba value cooperation with Jiangxi? Jack Ma made a keynote speech at the 2018 World VR Industry Conference in Nanchang. Someone asked me why it was Jiangxi, and I said why not Jiangxi? Since the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, Jiangxi has been rich in literati, scholars, and celebrities. Jingdezhen, Jiangxi is the originator of the cultural and creative industry. Without creativity and innovation, no one could imagine that Jiangxi can create porcelain that the whole world comes to buy today.

He said, "The most valuable thing about Jiangxi is the revolutionary ideas behind the VR industry and the ideas for the future. Jiangxi today relies on its responsibility for the future and its responsibility for the people. I believe that Jiangxi in 20 years will be excited and proud of today."

Why does Jiangxi attach so much importance to cooperation with Alibaba? In addition to its bright brand and large scale, what is more important is the digital and intelligent reconstruction effect it brings to economic development, government services, and people's livelihood security. For example, the "Ganfutong" jointly launched by the two sides has enabled 5,592 matters in the province to be "handled on the palm" and 102 types of electronic certificates to be "checked on the palm". For example, industrial big data and Internet of Things training were carried out for 107 Jiangxi enterprises, and digital and intelligent transformation and upgrading solutions were provided for 7 state-owned enterprises such as Jiangxi Copper, Jiangxi Tungsten, and Jiangzhong, respectively, to promote the "cloud" transformation of Jiangling Yizhi, Zhengbang Group, Jimin Trustworthy and other enterprises. This kind of industrial upgrading and system reconstruction led by digitalization and intelligence has provided a surging power for Jiangxi's high-quality development, the creation of a business environment, and the convenience of serving the people.
