"As a startup company, we had made a lot of changes in our development strategy last year. With the new measures launched in the free trade zone, we can see the path of our company more clearly," Bai said.

"My company is growing with the free trade zone," Bai said. "We are doing an incubator program to help other startup companies."

Bai's company is currently registering a new company with Digital Sky Technology, a major investor in the internet market in Russia.

Bai said he is also running a family costume company in Heibei. "My plan is to move its major operations to the Tianjin Pilot Free Trade Zone and leave the manufacturing unit in Heibei," he said.

"Right now, I am talking to all my friends in Beijing about the innovative measures in Tianjin Pilot Free Trade Zone and how to start businesses easier here."
