"I have joined Xiaopeng since July 2015, and the third anniversary of my entry was just celebrated last month." Xiaomei, who works in administrative work in the unit, has a lot of feelings about the changes in Xiaopeng's move into her new home this year.

Xiaomei remembers that when she first joined the company, her work number was No. 134, and now the work number of the unit has been ranked thousands.

Xiaopeng has changed:
5 floors are full, and the creative park rented has become an "Internet celebrity"
Along Keyun Road, heading north, no one will not notice it - in an old urban village, Xiaopeng Motors' five-story building is firmly built among the crowded low buildings. A kilometer away, the huge LOGO light sign is emitting a dazzling light.
"After coming to Tianhe , it became easier to recruit talents." In the view of Zou Junzhou, administrative director of Xiaopeng Motors, the core element for the development of high-tech enterprises is talents. "This area is located in the core area of Tianhe Smart City , adjacent to Tianhe Software Park, major universities and other talent gathering areas. The surrounding supporting facilities have begun to take shape, with superior natural and cultural environments, and the living costs such as accommodation and dining are low. It is very suitable for high-tech startups to attract and retain talents." In one year of entering Tianhe, global employees have grown from the top 3,000 to nearly 5,000 now. It is reported that Tianhe University, represented by the School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering of South China University of Technology, can transport more than 4,000 basic talents to the development of the automobile industry in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area every year. The expansion of
personnel has brought not only technological innovation, but also the rapid expansion of office space. Xiaomei smiled and said, "Before moving to Tianhe, the office building was only 7,000 to 8,000 square meters. Now the overall management area of this main building is very large, about 50,000 square meters. As a result, it was still full in half a year."
Xiaopeng turned his expansionary attention to the surrounding creative parks. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 20 registered incubators and co-creation spaces at or above the municipal level in Cencun District. Scratched between Chuangjin Industrial Park and Yuhui Creative Industrial Park , Xiaopeng takes the headquarters R&D building as the core, radiates the office space to the east and west sides, and rents the creative park for renovation.
"In Yuhui Creative Industrial Park on the east side, we have greatly improved the image of the park by renovating the buildings and surrounding areas, and have attracted some upstream and downstream enterprises to enter this park. Currently, automobile sales, after-sales, testing, maintenance, beauty and other companies have entered it one after another." Zou Junzhou said that there are currently 2,000 people in the headquarters office building, and nearly 600 people have worked in the above two parks.
Sing bar, gym, exterior wall graffiti, Xiaopeng has built the surrounding creative park into a typical Internet office area. Outside the newly rented office building of Xiaopeng Motors, in Yuhui Creative Industry Park, an e-commerce photography base has also renovated some of the blocks of the park to become a "Internet celebrity" check-in point style.
It turns out that this e-commerce photography base moved here from Baiyun District a year ago. A month ago, because of the popularity of the "check-in point" on Hong Kong Street, Zhihui Park, Tianhe, they also renovated the two buildings they rented in accordance with the style of the Internet celebrity check-in point. Although the commercial auction fee has increased from 200 yuan/hour to 300 yuan/hour, the number of customers has doubled. Now the most popular day has attracted more than 80 groups of people to commercial auctions here.

A year ago, Xiaopeng Motors built a headquarters building next to the Creative Park, settled in Tianhe, and began to rent several office buildings in the park one after another. The entry of the e-commerce photography base has further changed the neighborhood style of the park.

Cencun has changed:
House rent has doubled, and catering shops open all night
Xiaopeng is Tianhe Cencun. This is a typical urban village in Guangzhou. Located in Tianhe District, Guangzhou, it is connected to Mupi and Lingtang Villages in the east, junction with Wushan Street in the southwest, Changhong Nursery in the west, and Huolushan in the north. It is an old village that was founded in the Ming Dynasty. Now, due to the rent discount, it is the preferred choice for many tenants who come and go to Guangzhou.
On July 16, 2018, Xiaopeng Motors officially moved into Cencun’s new home. Now that the year has passed, this large-scale new character has also brought some new things to Cencun.
"It turned out that the store was closed early, but now it stayed up all night. Young people working overtime in the building next to it still come to buy things in the middle of the night." Through Honghuagangxia Street, in a supermarket opposite Xiaopeng Motors, the boss bluntly said that the business was indeed easier than before. "Because there are too many people, their big company came in, and thousands of people came in."
has more than just supermarkets in business. A year later, the Hunan cuisine , Sichuan cuisine, and Chaoshan cuisine in the village have been opened one by one.

In the surrounding new stores, there are many fried chicken shops, milk tea shops, dessert shops, barbecue shops, etc. Even if Xiaopeng Motors has its own employee canteen on the basement floor, these small catering shops in urban villages still get a share of the pie.
says eating is inseparable from living. Jiaxing, a new employee of Xiaopeng who had just graduated for one year, moved to his new home with Xiaopeng Motors and rented the house near his unit. "I live not far, a community that is a little over 1 kilometer and takes a taxi for about 10 minutes." Jiaxing introduced that he shared a living room with Xiaopeng employees who graduated from the same class. It is a three-bedroom and one living room. He rented one by himself, and the monthly rent is 1,600 yuan, which is quite a large community. "Everyone calls it a police village, and many retired soldiers live there, and the public security is very good."
The rental price of a room worth more than 1,000 yuan per room is not uncommon in the bustling area of the city center, but it still ranks high on the rental list of the Cencun area. "Before the company moved here, many colleagues who wanted to rent a house would come to check out the spot in advance. For 300-400 yuan, they could rent a better single room, and it was added with a balcony." After moving in a year, Jiaxing discovered three or four months ago that the better single room in Cen Village opposite had increased to about 1,300 yuan. "What is this price? The boss will frequently ask you whether to rent it or not. If you don't rent it, there will be someone who will come to see the house tomorrow."
Is this fire lit up in the rental market related to Xiaopeng's arrival? Open a rental app to filter rental properties near Cencun, such as South China Yujing Garden, Vanke Cloud and other affordable properties, the two-bedroom and one living room are basically ranging from 2,000 to 3,000 yuan; while in the village, such as Baiya Apartment, Tianxin Apartment, Beike Apartment, etc., the price of one-bedroom and one living room is generally around 1,500 yuan; the price of single-bedroom and small houses in the village that are less than 1,000 yuan is generally concentrated around 800 yuan. Last year, the rental information of 300 yuan per room was difficult to find. "80% of fresh graduate colleagues rented their houses in urban villages. The Vanke Yuncheng Miku Community, not far from the unit, is now more like our unit's dormitory."
