The road of entrepreneurship is quite flat Macao Huangshufair did not expect that he "went around a circle" and opened the company to the "doorstep" - Zhuhai Hengqin.
Huang Shuzhan is now the chief executive officer of Guanglian Group. Founded in 2003, Light Link Group is an enterprise network service provider, committed to providing customized solutions based on enterprise network needs, so that intelligent network services can create enterprise value. Guanglian Group has set up a branch in Macau and is expected to start operations in Hengqin, Zhuhai next year.
All the way to entrepreneurship "smooth sailing"
Huang Book Fair has a very deep feelings for Macau, "even in Dongguan for many years, would rather run the two places, but also to settle in Macau." At the age of 8, Huang Shuzhan moved from Fujian Province to Macao with his family and has since taken root in Macao. Although he went to school years later than his peers, he never felt different. "Macau is a very inclusive city, and the people here are very friendly."
During the school period, due to family debt, the Yellow Book Fair was in a work-study state for a long time. In order to pay off his family's debts as soon as possible, the civil engineering major switched to sales. Around 2000, the IT industry "hot", Huang Shufair was deeply interested in the industry was hired by an IT company in Hong Kong, sent to Dongguan to work, mainly to serve large enterprises, "the company's service content is relatively simple, for the enterprise to pull a network line, does not involve deep services." But I think we can extend the service content and provide more perfect services to customers, after all, it is not easy to develop a customer."
Therefore, the Yellow Book fair conceived the idea of entrepreneurship. Subsequently, he founded Guanglian in Dongguan, focusing on the outsourcing of enterprise wide area network services, "the founding team has more than a dozen people, and has remained stable." Due to the early entry into this field, coupled with the accumulation of contacts, products in place and other reasons, Yellow Book Fair all the way to entrepreneurship "smooth sailing". "I am very 'Buddhist' in entrepreneurship and don't have too much ambition," he laughs. In 2008, he focused on taking care of his children and left the company to his team. To his surprise, during the five years he was "semi-retired", the company grew rapidly and profits doubled.
As children go to school, the Yellow Book Fair "returns" to the company. The partners propose to take advantage of the expansion and replicate the model in Dongguan to all parts of the country. Out of Dongguan, the first station of Guanglian chose Shenzhen, and then set up companies in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Beijing, Xiamen, Hong Kong and other places. During this period, the company became an important partner with Huawei and also became Huawei's first "lead partner" for SD-WAN.
Have "origin" with Hengqin
The process of expansion is difficult, "but there is no turning back." After the company came out of Dongguan, Huang Shufair also wanted to open a branch in Macau, "but Macao's high labor costs, limited land space, and relatively small market, restricted the development of enterprises."
After Macao's "neighbor" Hengqin became a free trade zone, the Yellow Book Fair conceived the idea of Hengqin office, "The country's policy support for Hengqin is very strong, I am very optimistic about the development of Hengqin." Companies can move to Hengqin instead of working in Macau, which is very close and convenient." In the vision of the Yellow Book Exhibition, the light Union will join hands with Macao colleges and universities to promote industry-university-research collaboration, "but also conducive to the cultivation of talents." At present, the high-tech network communication product research and development project cooperated with the University of Macau has been partially supported by the Macao Science and Technology Foundation.
In fact, the Yellow Book Fair and Hengqin quite have a "origin", "more than ten years ago, I sometimes went to Hengqin with friends to play and eat raw oysters." Today, Hengqin has undergone great changes, but also for the enterprise with greater development opportunities. Huang Book Fair believes that the distance between Hengqin and Macao is very close, so that many Macao youth who do not want to go too far away from home are willing to try to leave Macao, "Hengqin only needs to cross a bridge, can not be counted as leaving Macao." After working in Hengqin, we will be more familiar with each other, learn from each other, understand each other's culture, and can better integrate together. Therefore, as a Macao native, I would like to open a company in Hengqin."
Huang Book Fair mentioned that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area brings great opportunities for the development of the company, "The Greater Bay Area will first be integrated in transportation, industries will be further integrated, and enterprises can take advantage of the opportunity to take off." Favorable policies and a good business environment are the keys to achieving high-quality development."
