  "Mini 4WD is both a memory and a feeling for our generation of Hong Kong youth. I have been playing mini 4WD since I was six years old and have been playing for more than 20 years." Wei Yiyao, a Hong Kong youth who started a business in Bao'an, Shenzhen, recently accepted During the interview, he was seriously "building" (Cantonese, assembling) a miniature 4WD model on his desk.

  Starting a business across the Shenzhen River is a challenging choice for Wei Yiyao.

He said that Shenzhen is an immigrant city, and many people don't know much about mini 4WDs.

"We were worried at the beginning. If we choose to land the project in the young Shenzhen, will the risk be greater? Will the market accept it?"

  Nearly half a year after its opening, Shenzhen did not make Wei Yiyao feel risky, but was full of development opportunities.

At present, Wei Yiyao has opened a physical store, and many children fall in love with the mini four-wheel drive through contact with real objects.

  "Every time after school, the store turns into 'Huaguoshan'. Why can't my car run fast enough? Why is my uncle's car so powerful? My car flew off the runway... A group of 'Monkey Kings' 'Grab me and ask questions." Wei Yiyao said with a smile.

  When it comes to dealing with mini 4WD enthusiasts, Wei Yiyao is full of passion.

"In addition to buying four-wheel-drive vehicles, customers will also learn about modification and selection of spare parts." He said that in addition to daily work, the store also regularly holds small competitions to provide venues for mini-four-wheel drive enthusiasts to gather together.

  Traveling to and from cities in the Bay Area such as Shenzhen, Hong Kong, and Macau is also Wei Yiyao's plan for future life development.

  He said: "Now the Bay Area is gradually integrating and developing, and customs clearance in the Mainland and Macau is more convenient. Next, I will open a store in Macau to increase the types of models."

  At present, the base has attracted nearly 100 young Hong Kong entrepreneurs like Wei Yiyao, and a total of 36 young teams from Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macao have settled in, including 24 Hong Kong and Macao enterprises.

Some brands that have gone out from the base have now opened offline physical stores, such as mask brand Mask On, IMPEZ model, etc.
