"as an entrepreneur from hunan, leading the company to serve the economic and social development of my hometown is not only my original mission, but also my responsibility." on the eve of the 11th global hunan businessmen conference, yao jinbo, chairman and ceo of 58.com, said in an interview with reporters that in the process of development and growth, 58.com has always been committed to exploring the integration of cutting-edge technology and core business, vigorously promoting "cloud-based, data-driven and intelligent" services, empowering industries with technology, and fully supporting the digital transformation and upgrading of small, medium and micro enterprises in hunan province.
yao jinbo graduated from university in 1999. at that time, the internet was booming in china. sina, netease, tencent, and alibaba were established one after another. he keenly captured the development trend and business opportunities of the internet and joined this wave.
in september 2000, the domain name trading website founded by yao jinbo was acquired by hichina; in 2005, 58.com was founded; in 2013, 58.com was listed in the united states; in 2015, 58.com merged with ganji.com and became the industry leader.
in 2004, yao jinbo actively responded to the call of the hunan provincial party committee and the provincial government to "welcome fellow villagers, return to hometown, and build hometown", and established the second headquarters of the company in changsha to help the development of the digital economy industry in his hometown. at present, 58.com has more than 2,000 employees in hunan, and its business covers online recruitment, house rental and sale, local life services, second-hand transactions, internet finance, innovation incubation and other livelihood areas.
in yao jinbo's view, hunanese people are born with the spirit of daring to fight and take risks. "hunanese people are rooted in various industrial chains of the internet, gathering a team of hundreds of hunan entrepreneurs, attracting and training hundreds of high-level professionals, who are the backbone of the development of hunan's mobile internet and application software industries."
yao jinbo has also been deeply impressed by the continuous improvement of hunan's business environment in recent years. he hopes that government departments can go a step further and actively "create an environment" for the development of enterprises, so that business entities can truly feel that the rule of law business environment is around them, thereby giving birth to more benchmark enterprises that lead the country.
regarding the development of hunan's digital economy, yao jinbo believes that it is necessary to open up channels for cooperation between universities and research institutes and enterprises. for example, universities can strengthen cooperation with internet companies, achieve precise docking of professions and industries through the innovative model of industry-education integration, and provide more intellectual resource support for the development of the internet in hunan province.
"today, the digital economy has gradually become a stabilizer and new engine to promote the economic development of hunan. in the future, hunan will definitely be the next important city for the development of the internet digital economy." yao jinbo said that hunan is a place with high talent, low housing prices and a broad space for development. entrepreneurs who dare to be the first will surely seize the opportunities in china's economic transformation and achieve new and greater development in hunan.
