In the Hetao Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone, which is adjacent to the Shenzhen River, Chen Sheng is sharing his entrepreneurial experience in Shenzhen with several Hong Kong youth in his newly renovated new office.

"I grew up with this hot land!" Chen Sheng is the CEO of Harbor Innovation (Shenzhen) Technology Co., Ltd., the first Group of Hong Kong youth teams to enter Qianhai, Shenzhen.

On October 24, 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Shenzhen Qianhai for an inspection. At the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Youth Dream Factory, General Secretary Xi Jinping cordially visited Chen Sheng and five other entrepreneurial youth representatives from Hong Kong, and talked with them about entrepreneurship and dreams.

Recalling the scene at that time, Chen Sheng still can't hide his excitement, "General Secretary Xi Jinping is particularly concerned about those of us who started a business, and the general secretary said that dreamworks is a place to realize dreams." This sentence made every young person present excited."

Chen Sheng's "dream-seeking" journey also originated from an important speech by General Secretary Xi Jinping. "In 2012, General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected Qianhai and delivered an important speech, which was of great concern to the Hong Kong society. For a time, 'Qianhai' became a hot word among our colleagues, and it also planted seeds in my heart. That year, Chen Sheng and his friends opened a human resources training consulting company, frequently traveling to Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Gradually, Shenzhen became the city where he stayed the longest. Here, Chen Sheng saw the development of electronic payment and the entire Internet ecology, and deeply felt that there will be many opportunities in the future.

In the autumn of 2014, they opened a branch office in Shenzhen. After that, they passed the interview of the Hong Kong Youth Association and were recommended to enter the Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Youth Dream Factory, which had just opened at that time, becoming the first Batch of Hong Kong youth teams to come to Qianhai to start a business.

"This is a fertile ground for entrepreneurship where you can 'dream'." Chen Sheng said that there is not only a unique environment of "Hong Kong people, Hong Kong flavor, and Hong Kong services", but also a variety of entrepreneurship lectures and symposiums to provide all-round consultation for start-ups.

"The general secretary told us that the Qianhai model is feasible, and we must study a number of replicable and generalizable experiences and promote them to the whole country. Looking back today, the general secretary's important speech is a vivid lesson on national conditions, helping us find the positioning, direction and method of development. Chen Sheng said, "I want to introduce my entrepreneurial experience to more Hong Kong youth, hoping to give Hong Kong youth a choice in career development." "Chen Sheng has helped bring in more than 300 Hong Kong teams to start a business in Shenzhen.

"The whole Greater Bay Area is my home, and I think this may be the norm for future life in the Greater Bay Area." Today, Chen Sheng puts his study and scientific research in Hong Kong and the expansion of his business network in Shenzhen, "hoping that in addition to 'creating', Hong Kong youth can also 'integrate', seek a win-win development model of cooperation with mainland talents, and actively integrate into the overall situation of national development." ”
