Hong Kong VE's will soon conduct cross-border trading with Shenzhen VE's
On 3 October, 2001, our Network received five special guests, all of whom are faculty members from the Dept. of Management of the Shenzhen Polytechnic. They learned of the virtual enterprise business training model when their colleagues paid us a visit during the summer. This time, they were keen about setting up VE's within their department. We discussed technical issues such as setting up a Central Office to regulate the virtual enterprises within the virtual economy, curriculm, virtual trading, and ebanking. To help their students speed up the process, we agreed that initially we will open our network to Shenzhen's VE's as though they were Hong Kong VE's. Meanwhile, they will build their own network, web platform and ebank, and then "repatriate" their VE's. They showed keen interest and commitment to hold a joint Hong Kong-Shenzhen VE Trade Fair, and suggested their campus as location for the first trade fair. At the end of the two hour meeting, visitors were taken on a tour of our VE Model Office.
