[NetEase smart news on January 18th] According to foreign media reports, one month after announcing plans to open its first personal smart lab in Beijing, China, Google entered the Chinese market again by entering Shenzhen.

According to an internal e-mail received by TechCrunch, the U.S. technology giant opened an office in Shenzhen, a global hardware hub adjacent to Hong Kong. The office is not a full-fledged Google campus. Since this week, Google has only rented an office space.

A spokesman for the company said in a statement confirmed the news to TechCrunch: "We have many important customers and partners in Shenzhen, we are here to build offices in order to better communicate and collaborate with them. ."

Here's a short email from Google to employees:

Hello, everyone from Google China, and I hope you will have everything in 2018!

I want to tell everyone that we have opened a new office in Shenzhen. As we all know, we have a lot of Google employees in China and they travel to Shenzhen on a regular basis. We heard a lot of feedback that Shenzhen needs to set up a new office. Therefore, after several months of investigation, we recently rented a serviced office in Shenzhen. The office has been opened this week and is now operational. We hope this will provide a comfortable working environment for Google employees in the area.

Shenzhen is the home base of Tencent, which owns social software “WeChat.” In addition, mobile giants Huawei and ZTE, as well as companies such as Alibaba and Baidu, are also located in Shenzhen. Shenzhen also has a thriving start-up community, including the global hardware accelerator project HAX.

Google Artificial Intelligence Laboratory to be established in China, there are many places worth understanding, the lab will use China's growing talent pool of artificial intelligence, which may indicate Google will shift to development specializing in Chinese market. In addition, last year, Google relaunched the application of “Google Translate” in China, which led people to believe that the company began to “return” to the Chinese market. Google’s establishment of an office in Shenzhen is a more ingenious development step, affirming the importance of Shenzhen for Google’s business.

The use of the Shenzhen office is likely to be a team that has invested a lot of time here. Google believes that working in a fixed workplace is better than in a hotel or public place. The company’s sales team, hardware team, and logistics, procurement, and supply teams in China are most likely to use the office. In the future, Google may choose a more fixed office and add more elements of Google. However, for the moment, this matter is still not on the agenda.

Google had previously spent $1.1 billion to acquire a large part of HTC's smartphone business, and the establishment of the Shenzhen office also reflected Google's position. As a recent report from The Information pointed out, Google is strengthening its hardware business in the Chinese market. The report said that the number of employees in Google's hardware engineering department in Shanghai has soared from 20 people a year ago to more than 100 today.

General partner HAX Benjamin Joffe said in an interview with TechCrunch website: "I hope Google can produce more Home series of smart products in Shenzhen, and there will be more people to consider traveling to Shenzhen on Google at CES. strong offensive, plus they are expanding their product line, Google also is likely to be like Apple, Amazon and other companies, so that more people come to Shenzhen, Nanshan District, in work and life or Futian District.
