Wuzhen： ＂Touching＂ the Internet has turned into a world Internet window in five years.
"From the first world internet conference in 2014 to the present, Wuzhen has gradually become a sample and window for the development of the Internet in the world. In recent years, I have always felt the little changes in the ancient town." Jiang Fuliang, the driver of car ferry in Wuzhen Xizha Scenic Area, has worked here for nearly 10 years. Whenever a passenger talks to him about this wise ancient town, this Wuzhen fellow always likes to talk about these words.
Wuzhen is unique because of its unique style of "every family has a pillow river and a small bridge with flowing water"; Wuzhen, as the permanent meeting place of world internet conference (also known as "Wuzhen Summit"), witnessed the "butterfly road" in the Internet age. In the view of Sheng Yongjun, secretary of Tongxiang Municipal Committee of Zhejiang Province, Wuzhen used to be a symbol of tourism, and later evolved into a symbol of drama and culture. Now it has become a symbol of the Internet and digital economy.
In the past five years, what "net stories" have been staged in this Millennium ancient town between white walls and black tiles? What changes have taken place here after the dividend accumulation of the previous four Wuzhen Summits?
Internet Town "Renovating" Dream Water Town
"One brick, one tile, one bridge and one pavilion in the scenic spot are coming from the 8K ultra-HD picture … …” With the help of the low delay and high speed of 5G, people basically realized the synchronization of "I am on the scene" and "I am on the TV screen" through the 5G experience car screen next to the business hall of Zhejiang Mobile Wuzhen Fenshuidun. At present, a number of 5G base stations in Wuzhen are being opened one after another. During this summit, the construction of 5G trial network will be launched in Wuzhen.
Only by double verification of "ID card+face", no one can participate in the hotel from check-in to check-out. In the natural and cultural village of Tanjia Qixiang, Wuzhen, which is less than 200 meters away from Wuzhen Xizha Scenic Area, a smart homestay experience has recently been launched. "Through ‘ Full portrait routing hub ’ The system is connected in series with almost all the intelligent subsystems of the hotel. Visitors can not only control TV, air conditioner and curtains, but also experience wireless charging. " Zhu Zhaokui, the person in charge of the hotel project, said.
Not far from Smart B&B, Wuzhen Zhicai Primary School is famous for "Internet+Education". Here, students’ foreign language classes can not only be taught by foreign teachers through the network, but also 3D printing, drones and laser engraving have become normal courses. Peng Jianqing, the principal of Zhicai Primary School, said: "Through the project-based curriculum, students have the opportunity to use knowledge both inside and outside the classroom, and through the combination of online and offline, they are intelligently integrated ‘ Play ’ With ‘ Learn ’ 。”
"Wuzhen Avenue" undertakes the overflow bonus of the summit
In the process of economic take-off in many parts of the country, one avenue often plays an important role. For example, Shenzhen has a "Shennan Avenue" that focuses on innovative industries, and Suzhou Industrial Park has a "Jinjihu Avenue" that carries the development of advanced manufacturing industries; In July this year, in Tongxiang, Zhejiang, a "Wuzhen Avenue" was officially opened to traffic. Starting from Wuzhen at the northern end and heading south along the avenue, this road not only connects many scenic spots, but also passes through Tongxiang Economic Development Zone, Puyuan Town and other "three towns, two districts and three streets", forming the "Wuzhen Avenue Science and Technology Cluster" which has attracted much attention.
Why should we lay out "Wuzhen Avenue" and the science and technology gathering area? Sheng Yongjun said that a large number of traditional enterprises in Tongxiang are relatively low-end and the output rate is not high, but they occupy relatively more land, environmental capacity and energy, and need to develop into high-end industries urgently; In addition, world internet conference has become a platform for Internet sharing and co-governance. As the permanent venue of the conference, it is also the meaning of the topic to undertake the spillover effect of the conference.
How to accept the summit bonus? On this avenue that runs through the north and south of Tongxiang, we can find the answer: not a wool is produced, but 700 million sweaters flow from here to various places every year. Take Puyuan Town, the "first town of sweaters" famous for its traditional industries, for example, to realize the double growth of online and offline sales through the Internet and turn it into an Internet fashion town; In Tongxiang Economic Development Zone, a large number of high-quality intelligent manufacturing projects are constantly gathering, and more than 20 foreign-funded projects have been signed in the first nine months of this year.
Innovation and entrepreneurship gather to cultivate new kinetic energy for development.
Chenzhuang Village in Wuzhen is a famous hometown of bamboo weaving. In the first two years, the handicrafts of Qian Lihuai, a young bamboo weaver born in 1980s, appeared at the Wuzhen Summit for two consecutive years. More than 10 years ago, after graduating from Qian Lihuai University, he returned to his hometown Wuzhen to start a bamboo weaving business. With Internet e-commerce and live broadcast, Wuzhen bamboo weaving became more and more famous. "As a carrier of culture, bamboo weaving should continuously enhance its cultural value and artistic connotation on the basis of using the Internet platform in order to go far." When I saw Qian Lihuai several times, he told reporters like this.
"High-capacity tamper-proof digital technology based on biometric information can effectively help ‘ Run at most once ’ 。” In a narrow studio in Tongxiang Science and Technology Park, Yi Shen, the founder of Unitek Technology, talks about the technical concept of "digital chip". Last year, he gave up the generous treatment of foreign companies and returned to his hometown to set up the science and technology company in front of him. "The Internet entrepreneurial atmosphere in his hometown is good, and through world internet conference, our products and technologies can be widely used."
With the "dividends" released by previous summits, more and more makers like Qian Lihuai and Yi Shen have settled down in Wuzhen and Tongxiang. In the future, Tongxiang will also regard the digital economy as the "No.1 Project" and strive to build a digital economy highland. In fact, a wave of dividends has affected Wuzhen, Tongxiang, and the whole of Zhejiang Province and even the whole country.
In the tide of digitalization, Xinhua Group has set up administrative and operational headquarters in Hangzhou and Beijing, and has also added several R&D bases in Chengdu and Hefei in two years. "All localities are gathering Internet talents and developing advantageous industries according to urban positioning, which gives us the opportunity to realize the national industrial layout and help the digital transformation of various industries." Sun Minglan, senior vice president of Xinhua Group III, said.
From November 7th to 9th, the world Internet will once again enter "Wuzhen Time". This conference will set up 19 sub-forums, focusing on hot topics such as artificial intelligence, 5G, big data, network security and digital silk road. "From the initial participation and exchange, to brainstorming with the industry big coffee in the sub-forum last year, and then to give a keynote speech this year, my annual trip to Wuzhen has reached a higher level." Kevin Jiang, founder of Tongdun Technology, is full of expectations for this conference.
As night falls, the International Convention and Exhibition Center, the permanent site of the conference, is still brightly lit, and the banquet center separated from the other road will be officially opened. The two landmark buildings combine Internet elements with the characteristics of Jiangnan water town, and complement each other with this Millennium-old town, waiting for the opening of this grand event.
