Hong Kong Immigration focuses on Business Immigration in Hong Kong: The Hong Kong Science Park showcases the beauty of modern technology against a backdrop of blue skies and white clouds. Here, the reporter met 26-year-old entrepreneur Li Jiacheng. Unlike other young entrepreneurs, this post-80s entrepreneur draws inspiration from his own "laziness" and "thinking."
Li Jiacheng, a graduate of the English major at the Hong Kong Institute of Education, seized the development opportunities of the "Internet Plus" era and founded his company Censpot last October. In December of last year, his entrepreneurial project received support from the Hong Kong Science Park's Network Technology Entrepreneurship Incubation Program, obtaining a business and technology support fund of 300,000 Hong Kong dollars. In March of this year, his startup officially settled in the Incu-App center of the Hong Kong Science Park.
Polite and easygoing, with a bright smile, this post-80s Hong Kong entrepreneur shows no signs of fatigue, only enthusiasm and vitality. Li Jiacheng meticulously introduced the three core services of his company to the reporter: educational mobile apps and website design, meeting students' remote learning needs anytime and anywhere; using language artificial intelligence programs to quickly refine public relations drafts and advertising copy, while also providing physical public relations services; and designing Internet of Things systems that allow people to control home lighting, appliances, and monitoring systems via mobile apps anytime and anywhere.
Education, public relations, and the Internet of Things may seem unrelated, yet they form the core business of the entire company. When the reporter raised questions, Li Jiacheng leaned back against the sofa and said that he was too lazy to move but enjoyed thinking.
During university, he did not want to sit in the library every day flipping through thick books to write research papers; at home, he was too lazy to get up to turn off the lights, too lazy to use the remote to turn off the TV or air conditioning. He once wondered why he couldn't attend classes at home or while sitting on a bus. "Laziness" created demand, and "thinking" led to innovation. Whether it is educational software, language AI systems for refining public relations drafts, or the Internet of Things, all are his responses to these needs after repeated contemplation.
Li Jiacheng told the reporter that the other two services are already in operation, while the Internet of Things system is still being improved, with an expected completion and launch in November this year. He sees vast prospects for the Internet of Things in the mainland market and aims to control the final price between 10,000 to 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, reducing the current market price by 90% to make Internet of Things applications accessible to the public.
"At the age of 8, I proactively asked my father for my first gift, a computer. At 14, I began to self-learn programming and even designed a website for my elementary school." Li Jiacheng has had a strong interest in computers and programming since childhood. He recalls the first time he saw a computer crash, he was at a loss and cried on the spot. At that moment, he secretly vowed to master computers. This Hong Kong youth, who studies languages, entering the Internet industry is not a coincidence, but a reflection of his interests and aspirations.
Li Jiacheng's ancestral home is in Fujian, where the concept of "doing business" is prevalent among his hometown people. Since childhood, his parents, who were engaged in wine trade, took him to various cities in the mainland to conduct business. Now, Li Jiacheng travels to different cities in the mainland every week to expand the market, build connections, and promote his company's services and products. In addition to the mainland, Censpot's consumers also extend to overseas countries and regions such as the United States, Canada, Russia, and Australia.
