Pokemon go like a whirlwind of arrival, so that the streets of Hong Kong, huge crowds of people in the park, with his head down play the mobile phone games. Exaggeration to say, even the young autistic nearly out of playing lively. Visible, the power of product innovation, is no trivial matter.

 

So the scene of madness, amazing products attractive, actually let hand cannot machine, Chafanbusi. Original Pokemon go to appeal to older and young generation. Young people enjoy stimulation, as a "Trainer" after the wizard can be understood; successive generation, but also indulge, but because the game with nostalgic elements and full aftertaste in the 1990s to play the game.

 

Traditional innovation in Hongkong

 

Think of Hongkong Wei water research history, but 19 years ago pioneered the use of "octopus" octopus. Indeed by the mainland and the world to learn. Today, the mainland people always laughed at the people of Hongkong, how to still use the octopus? A Guangdong netizen said: "Zhongshan's early years have been engaged in similar octopus Zhongshan, but soon by Alipay, WeChat and other emerging payment means of payment to kill people." completely routed the frontiers of scientific research also said: "Hongkong is an international financial center, nineteen years before the invention of the first octopus is an electronic currency, then there is no revolutionary invention."

 

In Hong Kong financial payments, Megatron moment, now only waiting for Apple pay. As the people of Hong Kong, in fact, is also looking forward to a breakthrough in the traditional products of scientific research, do not nostalgia Octopus good old days (the good old days. Now Hong Kong nostalgic wind strong, old photos, nostalgia books, restaurants... Pokemon.. go successful turn fry Game Boy elements, hope to stimulate the Hong Kong people to be creative. Hong Kong in the innovation, the creative industries can flourish is the aspirations of the people of Hong Kong.

 

Pokemon go is Japan's Nintendo products, can serve as a link between past and future, the new cell phone game development. The R & D innovation causing agitation, for global bring new gadgets, left the economy is hushed into Japan, the eyes bright. As the people of Hong Kong, in neighboring South Korea, Samsung mobile phones are well known in the world, research excellence, do not have much to talk about. Adjacent to the Shenzhen and Hong Kong for turtle rabbit race, Shenzhen research has come from behind, as if awakening from a dream like Hong Kong, many Hong Kong people are still sleeping.

 

Shenzhen has jumped as one of the innovative city in the world, gave birth to the famous enterprises: Tencent technology, BYD electric vehicle, BGI, Xinjiang drones. Electric cars, for example, the Shenzhen government to the industry into the budget for tens of billions of dollars, but Hong Kong Electric Vehicle R & D is due to a lack of funds, the technology was sold to the American company.

 

I recently to Shenzhen before the sea to, Chow Tai Fook where established cargo center, but do not do retail, peer friendly surprised. Originally, mainland cross-border shopping is very popular, mainlanders to goods do not know, through visiting cargo center saw entity object, go home to shopping online. In online purchase of cargo, than in entity shop in the mainland to Hong Kong to buy goods can save a lot of taxes, much cheaper.

 

Mainland people like shopping in Hong Kong, but Hong Qing because as opposed to "free" to the mainland people playing Worcestershire, really do not know the Internet has broken geographical boundaries, not to Hong Kong can also purchase a flat cargo. In recent months to Hong Kong mainland visitors continued to decline, the retail sector in Hong Kong have been anxious about, rental shops also fell. The eyes of the people of Hong Kong can not thought superior extraordinary, not self-centered.

 

Zhuhai to promote cultural and creative

 

Shenzhen in addition to leading research in Hong Kong, many Hong Kong people also worry about system innovation in front of the sea, the central, Hong Kong financial advantage away. In the sea before the financial industry in and emerging business with commercial factoring, Internet banking, supply chain finance business, make "Hong Chan" eyes and ears of the new. The success of the free trade zone Shekou Sea lies in institutional innovation, regardless of the rules of the international system, laws and regulations, government service, the mode of operation, first implementation for the available as reference "system test pool". Hong Kong people always criticized the mainland administrative not shun, decrees impassability, however, when these innovative experience once widely copied, the mainland to the development of space will also increasingly .

 

While Shenzhen leading research, financial innovation; Zhuhai is also behind located in Zhuhai Hengqin new area, with creative base. Hong Kong Lixin group's Feng Deli and Lai Fung Holdings, plans a total investment of 180 billion yuan, in Hengqin build "Star Arts a heaven and earth" is a large-scale cultural industry projects. Hengqin in the reform of the management mechanism can foretaste of go ahead of the rest, the project aims to operating Hollywood effect, held a major festival, music festival and concert will. To encourage cultural and creative, Hengqin will also attract domestic and foreign film, television and new media production upstream and downstream enterprises stationed.

 

Hongkong scientific research success, public and corporate responsibility

 

Hong Kong people are always complaining about the government leadership ineffective, so that Hong Kong Industrial Innovation backward. Does a lot of government should be improved, such as resources, policy guidance, but social enterprise and also the responsibility. Scientific research project development shall, if the enterprise although make money eager for quick success and instant benefits, will continue to do real estate business, are unwilling to invest in scientific research. Scientific research projects with high risks, the public can not accept corporate failure, often emphasize the taxpayers' money should not be wasted, the government funded entrepreneurs once mishap, the officials being accountability.

 

Hong Kong political socialization, and in business to make money in command. Enterprise groups to profit maximization, people cannot tolerate taxpayer money to invest in high risk a science project. Hong Kong people love criticism, inclusive of insufficient, and so on, scientific research industry can only be timid, had to by Japan, Republic of Korea, Shenzhen and other neighboring regions and walk briskly, had to continue to enjoy the benefits of others, while they lack of core competitiveness in scientific research of Pokemon go let us play more than happy, it is worth us to think: Hong Kong has a lively mind, why not in the innovation of science and technology to show the power and prestige?
