Recently, Liu Guofeng, vice president of Taobao University, said in an interview with this newspaper that Xi 'an is the starting point of the Belt and Road Initiative, one of the central cities of the country's western development, the economic, cultural and commercial center of the Silk Road Economic Belt, and an indispensable part of Alibaba's development layout. At the beginning of this year, the Silk Road headquarters of Alibaba Group landed in Xi 'an, and Taobao University is one of the important cooperation projects. Relying on the unique geographical advantages and industrial cluster advantages, Xi 'an's e-commerce has certain advantages in the northwest, and it is also a relatively concentrated area of merchants on Alibaba platform. Taobao University is very willing to maintain closer cooperation with Xi 'an and provide more support for more local e-commerce enterprises in the new round of e-commerce development opportunities.

Liu Guofeng said that Taobao University, founded in 2006, is the world's largest e-commerce learning platform and the core education and training department of Alibaba Group. At present, there are more than 200 professional teachers, all from excellent first-line e-commerce businesses. Under the background of the country's promotion of the "Belt and Road" and Alibaba's promotion of new retail, it is expected that the e-commerce enterprises in Xi 'an can seize the opportunity to accelerate the transformation and upgrading, and behind the industrial transformation and upgrading is the precipitation and accumulation of e-commerce talents. "Taobao University will work closely with Xi 'an next. The Silk Road (Xi 'an) training base of Taobao University, which has just landed, is the first professional training base for e-commerce talents established in northwest China, and has received great concern and support from Xi 'an Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. Let us deeply feel the efficiency and confidence of Xi' an in promoting the development of e-commerce and promoting strategic cooperation with Alibaba Group. "

He said that the entire training plan of the base has been formulated in detail, and he hopes to train and incubate 3,000 e-commerce practitioners in the coming year. It is hoped that through the Silk Road (Xi 'an) training base of Taobao University, Xi 'an will be used as the bridgehead of the Belt and Road Initiative, and it will be connected with various resources such as Alibaba Group's e-commerce platform, and the development of Xi 'an's e-commerce enterprises will be connected with the initial intention of empowering merchants of Taobao University, and the e-commerce entrepreneurs of Xi 'an will be connected with the professional and rigorous talent training mechanism of Taobao University.

Talking about his feelings about Xi, Liu Guofeng said, "I have been to many provincial capitals. From last year's negotiation and cooperation to now, I was deeply impressed by the overall environment of Xi 'an. As a western city, the service concept, service attitude and service efficiency of Xi government departments have improved rapidly and impressively. Especially in the creation of business environment, we can see many bright spots from the aspects of top-level design, mechanism establishment, personnel quality improvement and increasing investment attraction. I believe that Xi 'an's business card will be brighter and brighter. "
