Zhang Yiming, founder and CEO of Beijing ByteDance Technology Co., Ltd.
"I have seen many videos about the charms of Xiamen on Tik-Tok", said Zhang Yiming. If beauty is also a kind of productivity, he can feel it in Xiamen in every moment. According to statistics, Xiamen-related videos received 700 million likes on Tik-Tok in 2018, ranking among the top 10 Chinese cities.
Zhang lauded Xiamen's quality cultural environment as an important reason for his decision to invest in the cultural creation industry in Xiamen. They had a big data index called "city spectrum", in which they found Xiamen users were particularly interested in reading content about science, technology, finance and economy. Xiamen had good educational resources and its information-sensitive citizens had a high educational level and a strong demand for scientific, technological, financial and economic information, which contributed to the good business environment for the development of the cultural creative industry.
Zhang also lauded the efficient service system of the Xiamen Government. He said Xigua Video had received strong support from the government since it had chosen Xiamen as the production base last year. It is foreseeable that beauty will become real productivity and lay a solid industrial base for this beautiful city.
