The main purpose of coworking or coworking was to reduce the cost of rent and allow individuals from different companies to work together in a coworking space. The average accommodating rate of conventional office space is 8 square meters per person, and when the meeting room, negotiation room, washroom, rest area and other areas are shared, the average accommodating rate of independent offices of co-working can be controlled at 4 square meters per person, which greatly saves costs from this point of view.

Of course, the main factor in the development of shared space in previous lives is not cost, or it is not simply because of cost. In a co-working space, entrepreneurs are constantly meeting new people and making new connections. Here you can always find the resources and help you need on the road to entrepreneurial growth. What's more, there will be a lot of like-minded people here, young people with ideas and energy, who are willing to share and focus on collaboration. You can talk about products, technology, entrepreneurship, life and the future together, and maybe you will have a burst of inspiration in the communication, cherish each other, and help each other collaborate. Entrepreneurs can find a place to rent on a daily or monthly basis according to different situations, rather than having to rent for a long time.

If it is purely about the time headquarters, according to Zhou Shi's vision, it will also provide more help to entrepreneurs, including legal advice and financial advisors.

The trillion plan has been officially proposed, and there is basically not much difference from the previous life, and there is one more to include the construction of Internet and communication infrastructure. Housing prices will still skyrocket in the future, whether it is to make money or save costs, getting involved in real estate will become his choice. However, pure real estate, whether commercial or residential, requires a lot of strength, involves too much energy, and is prone to problems. What's more, there is too much negative news about the real estate industry in the society, and Zhou Shi doesn't need to wade into this troubled water. The reason why he chose to do shared space has other ideas, that is, for the promotion of cloud computing, although the co-working office does not limit the industry, but the entrepreneurs in the Internet industry are still in the majority, and the cooperation between Time Cloud and EORK in the future is also a perfect match, and Tianhe Securities wants to develop, to be famous, and it is also a shortcut to invest in real estate.

Zhou Shi's initial plan is to set up EORK co-working spaces in more than 10 places, including Silicon Valley, New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Yanjing, Modu, Shenzhen, London, Berlin, Tel Aviv, and Singapore, and Tianhe Securities is responsible for acquiring local commercial office buildings and other real estate resources. In a few years' time, house prices and rents will rise in most parts of the world, and that part of the proceeds will flow in.

"Mr. Zhou, does Tianhe Securities really want to get involved in real estate again?" Gregory was still apprehensive about Lehman's failure in real estate.

"Do you think the U.S. economy and the world economy will collapse?" Zhou Shi asked rhetorically

"But even if the economy improves, housing prices won't necessarily go up?" said Grigory

"It depends on the policies of each country in the subprime mortgage crisis, and what kind of policies lead to what kind of results. The United States has released water like this, how likely do you think it is that housing prices in the United States will not rise, and what is the probability that housing prices will not rise after China's trillions?" Zhou Shi

"But the stakes are still great!" said Grigory

"But after success, we will also gain a lot, without such a shocking and eye-catching success, how can we reverse everyone's impression of Lehman?" Zhou Shi, there are many people who have deep feelings for Lehman in Tianhe Securities, because Galaxy Capital almost swallowed the business of Lehman in Eurasia, and did not break up their organizational structure, even the corporate culture has not moved, and the establishment of the North American branch of Tianhe Securities has absorbed a large number of former Lehman employees, so that in the hearts of many people, Tianhe Securities is the remnant of Lehman. The results have been mixed, but the good thing is that it has not been treated discriminatorily in mergers and acquisitions in Europe and the United States. The bad side is that many people doubt the ability and level of Tianhe Securities.

Gregory still accepted Zhou Shi's rhetoric, hoping that Tianhe Securities could turn over through real estate, so that those doubts about Lehman would disappear.

The current housing price in Yanjing is in the early 10,000s, and the transaction price of commercial real estate is about 20,000 yuan per square meter. The actual construction cost should not be higher than 15,000 / square meter, and it may only be 10,000 / square meter. But in any case, it will be a multi-billion project, which has a great effect on boosting the confidence of Yanjing's real estate market. On the day of his appointment at Oguan Hai, Time Company took the lead in signing a land purchase agreement with the Yanjing government. Although there are not many financial incentives, the Wangjing government still gives a lot of policies to public facilities such as municipal transportation, and also promises to implement preferential tax policies and business administration convenience for start-up enterprises in the future park. It can be regarded as reducing a lot of trouble for start-ups.

Zhou Shi gathered a group of employees from Time, Friends and Dianping, and rented two floors in Guomao to start a co-working experiment. The person in charge is Cao Jie of Zhou Shi's assistant team, an undergraduate student who graduated from an ordinary school for a year and a half, but who made him have a good English level and strong learning ability, among Zhou Shi's graduate assistants from famous schools at home and abroad, his ability is not particularly outstanding, but he is good at seizing opportunities, Zhou Shi is doing a co-working office, he took the initiative to ask Ying, plus most of them stayed in Canada to deal with various things in Nortel network, and the most powerful of Zhou Shi's team were either absent or not fighting, so he became the person in charge of EORK's shared office space。

Modern design style, open working environment, if you can't even impress yourself, how can you impress others.

Zhou Shi and Cao Jie worked hard for several days and finally decided on a design plan. In this entrepreneurial attempt, Zhou Shi did not prepare unlimited funds, and due to the financial crisis, the rent of Grade A office buildings at this time was only 5~6 yuan/square meter/day. Zhou Shi signed the highest 5 years in one go, and the rent increase did not exceed 5% per year. Even if the business loses money this time, this contract can make up for the lost funds. People who have a long-term view are not easy to suffer, and they have been well verified here in Zhou Shi.

"Mr. Zhou, we design like this, it's not like an office office!" Cao Jie looked at the final design draft with some concern.

"Unlike the best workplace, we attract young and energetic, active thinkers, and entrepreneurs who are strong in accepting new things, rather than those with fixed thinking," Zhou Shi

"Isn't our goal to reduce the cost of starting a business for our customers?

"No matter what we do, the survival of the enterprise comes first, if the enterprise is gone, our idea of relying on this enterprise will lose its effect, so our priority is how to make money, and then help customers. Therefore, it is also necessary to choose a customer group at the beginning. "Zhou Shi

"Well, I will do a good job of the company's open source and reduce expenditure!" Cao Jie
