Not long ago, Tencent Group's global headquarters base in Shekou, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, has been basically completed, and this "big country project" of science and technology, which cost 31.9 billion yuan and has a construction area of 420,000 square meters, has finally entered the final stage after more than two years of construction.
Tencent's ABP was undoubtedly located in Shenzhen, undoubtedly because of the city's huge potential in technological innovation. As the forefront of China's reform and opening up, Shenzhen has strong scientific and technological research and development strength and talent advantages. Tencent hopes to further strengthen its technological innovation capabilities and gather the world's top talents and resources through the establishment of a global headquarters base in Shenzhen, so as to promote the company's industrial upgrading and maintain its leading market position.
As early as 2006, Ma Huateng proposed to build Tencent Tower in Shenzhen, with an estimated investment of 1 billion yuan. But with the rapid development of the company's business, this idea has also been upgraded. By 2012, Tencent proposed to build a "big country project" and expand the investment to 5 billion yuan.
In 2015, Tencent announced the official launch of the Global Headquarters Base project, with an investment of 31.9 billion yuan. Now, this ambitious construction program is nearing completion.
Tencent's global headquarters base was designed by Hong Kong-based Kowloon Architects. The design concept is very avant-garde, resembling a sci-fi-style spaceship, alluding to Tencent's ongoing journey of technological exploration.
The base has adopted an environmentally friendly operation model and set up environmental protection equipment such as renewable energy to achieve near-zero carbon emissions. At the same time, the site is also integrated with vibrant greenery to create a comfortable and pleasant working environment.
In terms of functional layout, Tencent's global headquarters base is divided into two areas: north and south. The North District is mainly an office area, with distinctive office buildings and staff service facilities; The southern area is a high-end R&D area, which concentrates Tencent's core scientific research strength. In addition, the base will also have a data center, a sports and fitness space, an employee community, etc. It can be said that it has all kinds of functional facilities.
According to the plan, Tencent's global headquarters base is expected to accommodate 30,000 employees. This is undoubtedly the best footnote to the company's development prospects. In fact, in the past year, Tencent's workforce has grown rapidly from 60,000 to 90,000. Ample office space will help Tencent further attract talent and support its rapidly expanding business needs.
As a global internet giant, Tencent has also made rapid progress in its global expansion. Tencent has set up R&D centers in Seattle and Silicon Valley in the United States, innovation studios in India, and subsidiaries and offices in Europe, Southeast Asia and other regions.
It can be seen that Tencent is vigorously developing in the direction of providing global services. At the same time, Tencent is also actively expanding diversified innovative businesses, entering the automotive, healthcare, education and other fields. The new global headquarters base will provide a solid backing for Tencent's global layout and business expansion.
With the rapid development of information technology, Tencent has become one of the world's technology giants with its leading position in gaming, social networking, financial technology and other fields. This marks the beginning of the establishment of a global presence among Chinese Internet companies. The completion of the new ABP undoubtedly demonstrates Tencent's ambition in technological innovation, and also indicates that Chinese technology companies are poised to embrace a new round of development opportunities.
Looking ahead, Tencent's global headquarters base will become a new landmark in Shenzhen and the entire Guangdong Province, symbolizing technological innovation and progress. Its completion will also promote Shenzhen to further improve the science and technology innovation ecology and become a highland for gathering top talents from around the world. At the same time, the operation of the base will also drive the development and growth of the surrounding related industrial chains.
Now, Tencent's global headquarters base is in the final stage of completion, and we look forward to its official opening. At that time, this technology giant ship will set sail and lead China's technology enterprises to a more glorious future.
