Why did Huawei, Ali and other technology companies build their headquarters R&D base in Wuhan?

Huawei and Ali are technology-based companies, not manufacturing-intensive companies. There are more universities in Wuhan than in Zhengzhou. Every September after Wuhan University, you can see the campus staff recruitment of Tencent, Baidu and Ali. Of course, this is also related to historical reasons. At that time, people in Henan did not have enough food. The state wants to establish several universities in Zhengzhou. However, in the era of material shortage, due to some special reasons, colleges and universities did not take root in Zhengzhou.

The development of science and technology is inseparable from talents, and the establishment of Wuhan University has created more possibilities for science and technology companies. There are seven national key institutions of higher learning "2 1 1 project" in Hubei. These include Wuhan University, Wuhan University of Technology, Huazhong Normal University and Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Huawei's setting up a research institute in Wuhan will reduce daily expenses, but you will also get many high-quality employees, twice as many as before. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the practical ability of Chinese students in product research and development should not be underestimated. China Science can be seen in almost all competitions in the field of computer science. This also greatly meets the recruitment needs of Huawei's R&D department. Basically, they are senior talents who need computer and software related majors.

I have worked in this type of R&D company before, and I need to maximize the benefits from the company's point of view: as far as the position of R&D engineer is concerned, basic R&D engineers are basically selected from newcomers. Graduates have good habits, so they have a good foundation. Also grow. On the other hand, if an engineer of a certain age doesn't have the basic knowledge of R&D and innovation, his job after one or two years will be no different from that of a graduate, and his physical strength is not as good as others!

Wuhan's scientific and technological talents are also flawed. Most employees in the R&D bases of Ali and Huawei are recruited locally, and many universities in Wuhan can meet the needs of basic talents such as Huawei and Alibaba. However, due to the lack of advanced internet companies and high-quality scientific and technological personnel, it is still necessary to introduce them from other places. Like Zhongguancun, it can form several fields of scientific research and development where individuals often flow. The R&D base of Ali and Huawei headquarters is just the beginning: only with a group of high-quality scientific and technological personnel can we really promote technology research and development.
