Chapter 052: Maker
It is said that China is a country of innovation, in fact, Wang Bang thinks this is a special water statement. Anyway, there are indeed a lot of young people in China who like to be whimsical, and Wang Fang likes this kind of young people because it is his opportunity to exploit them at a low cost.
In order to cater to those young people who don't have much money and want to start a business, Wang Bang thought about it and decided to rent another house near the house he rented. Why? Build a "Maker Youth Hostel" and recruit entrepreneurial volunteers. Youth hostels like to recruit volunteers who wash bed sheets, but Wang Zhan is not an ordinary volunteer, but a volunteer who can write code or has some mechanical and electrical expertise.
The purpose is already obvious, that is, to let these volunteers work for themselves for free, as for the length of work, it is better not to limit it too much, just two hours, you can do less and do more, this is a place with development, freedom, and dreams.
The volunteers are paid to eat and live here for free, so that they can start their own businesses and realize their dreams.
Google employees spend 20% of their time fulfilling their dreams, and here at Maker Youth Hostel, volunteers do the opposite, 80% of the time they make their dreams come true.
This project also needs to be planned. The real youth hostel is to let travelers make better friends, because in the same room, sleep quality and protection are the pain points. Wang Zhan had also lived in a youth hostel before, and he understood this very well. Later, he also went out of his way to experience a youth hostel model called "space capsule", which used a fully wrapped cabin to wrap the bed tightly, which was a bit interesting.
At least partially solves the problem of sleep quality and protection.
Wang Zhan is ready to adopt this model, but it is not a complete copy of the ready-made design, he wants to customize it. The sleeping place is lying down, and the office is standing or sitting, and the same can be used to frame the bed, called the "shelf table", so that the office space can also be expanded.
Moreover, Wang Zhan does not think that installing a curtain on the space capsule or the table can protect **, and innovation must be made in this regard. Because curtains can't stop thieves or voyeurs, they can give these strange residents a sense of insecurity. Their personal belongings need to be kept safe in the capsule, and they need to have a reliable door to protect their laptops when they leave their desks.
In the supermarket, the combination lock of the automatic locker is a good choice. And the smartphone is the best key. Wang Fang designed an app for locking and unlocking.
In addition to the capsule and desk, the guest's excess belongings can also be placed in a special locker. In order to improve the efficiency of use, these items cost "Dragon Slaying Points (KDP)". Each dragon slaying point corresponds to one dollar, and the price of the capsule is 40KDP/day, the price of the desk is 20KDP/day, and the price of the locker is 10KDP/day.
All certified students will receive 30 days of dragon slaying points, which is 2400 points. This gives guests a good reference, in case they don't want to work for free for Wang Fang, you can use RMB to pay for these expenses and become a RMB player.
The ideal state is that every resource-consuming thing needs to be made to consume dragon slaying points, not to make money, but to improve the efficiency of use. Eating, doing laundry, drinking coffee. Even taking a shower and going to the toilet is the same. Wang Zhan designed this set of things in the hope that his Maker Youth Hostel would run as accurately as a mechanical watch, self-organizing, and not having to worry about it himself.
Use the app to manage a qiē, you will know who the last time you used a certain facility, if he makes a mess, the next user can notify the buddy to deal with it, or complain to the boss, under this supervision pressure, everyone will deal with their own traces of use.
What's even more interesting is that Wang Fang can use KDP to pay for the maintenance of the equipment, and the guests can earn points for cleaning. Wang Fang even plans to use this method to let the residents spread their own pancakes, and most of the income goes to the curious residents who are willing to serve, he either wants to use this method to make money, or he just wants to eat pancakes himself.
It's not easy to be a pancake man, the dazzling array of ingredients is dazzling, but fortunately, Wang Fang has his solution, and he discussed it with the big brother who sells pancakes nearby, and buys a certain amount of his ingredients every day, and the big brother of pancakes is also happy to wholesale his own raw materials.
Breakfast or supper can be solved with pancakes, and what to do with the main meal is also a painstaking thing for Wang Fang, he doesn't want the office to be filled with the lively sound of frying and frying.
After thinking about it, I thought of a block with Cai Dabiao, the boss of real kung fu-steamed rice and steamed vegetables. This cooking method, as long as the amount of ingredients and condiments is determined, even a chimpanzee can make a similar taste, which is suitable for self-organized foraging.
The ingredients for steamed vegetables are simpler, just go to the nearby supermarket and buy vegetables and minced meat from ReadyForEat.
Diners order their favorite vegetables and meats every day, and they are guaranteed to waste a penny, which is a small business.
Whether it's buying groceries or steaming rice, they use dragon slaying points to hire hard-working and simple residents, don't think that makers don't like to do this kind of thing, in fact, they also need time to relax their body and mind, and running to buy groceries is also a good choice.
Every time a newcomer wants to take such a task, Wang Fang will let himself or the old driver take them to buy vegetables and steam rice, and when they go through the process completely, even if the new skills are get, this thing itself can get KDP.
The first batch of curious makers have already submitted their resumes to Boss Wang, and three or five people have come to experience life, and they themselves are not here to save money, but just curious.
These "seed users" are basically quite well-connected, and Boss Wang warmly received them, hoping to use their word of mouth to promote their new thing.
Boss Wang's project is very interesting, the 2400 points are not much, but it is not a lot, because this is a two-hour work a day, if you work full-time, it is equivalent to a salary of 9600 ¥, in fact, it is a lot. All makers who are confused by superficial phenomena will think that they have earned it.
If it's a talent, you can send an extra 1200 points, and the meal will be rounded. That's like a salary of 3600x4=14400, is it cool? It may not be a big deal in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, but in Recheng, it is already regarded as Lu Bu among the people and Red Rabbit among the horses.
Is the Maker Youth Hostel low or not? Not low at all!
Boss Wang is a chicken thief, and the most energetic moment of people is likely to be those hours, and in order to complete the tasks assigned by his old man, these makers are likely to spend the most elite two hours doing Boss Wang's things, which makes a lot of money.
Boss Wang thinks that he has invented an organizational method that does not require wages, on the surface, it seems that the makers have made money, but in fact, the cost that Boss Wang needs to pay is very low, and I hope that this model can fool a group of young people with patterns.
Slogon at Maker Hostel is: With us, you are like Albert Einstein working for the Bern Patent Office in Switzerland.
It's also easy to promote, just give a 3-day KDP to a young person who is interested, and let him experience it.
In less than a month, Boss Wang's initial 30 workstations were full, and he was very happy. , Lao Tzu hired 30 high-tech employees without spending money, which is comparable to the monkey that Sun Monkey plucked 30 hairs and turned out of the monkey, my six-eared macaque is not very capable? Haha, it's really big. He was incredibly narcissistic.
After the 30 workstations were filled, an unexpected chemical reaction occurred, because they all liked to communicate with the same kind of creatures like makers, and they were extremely satisfied. Looking at the market, even if the black-hearted boss secretly increases his working hours, they are reluctant to leave.
Wang Fang's friend who is a venture capitalist originally came to talk to Wang Fang about the idea of the Bitcoin Clearing Bank, and after discovering this magical entrepreneurial model, he expressed great interest and said: "This can be packaged as an institution like Innovation Works, is Boss Wang interested in developing in this area?" ”
Wang Fang shook his head: "I finally found 30 like-minded friends, don't mess around for the time being, I want to do differentiated management, don't learn from the innovation factory." I'm now attracting ordinary entrepreneurs who may not be so talented, but are very willing to work hard. Their foundation is not so good, but I am optimistic about them, and I feel very fulfilled that this filter can bring together a group of such people. I was surprised that I could do such a thing. ”
Venture capital: "Hehe, Boss Wang has always been a very creative person, how is it?" Ready to scale? ”
Wang Zhan: "That's enough, these 30 young men are enough for me to use for a while, let's talk about the expansion later." ”
It seems that he does not think that this model is massively scalable, and it is important to remain sober about this. Maybe the friends retreated after the freshness passed, and the extra space was not wronged.
The venture capitalist winked and said, "Then you don't mind if I build a similar hostel?" ”
Wang Fang was stunned for a moment,, is it really good to be such a copycat? He couldn't help but fall silent.
The venture capital patted Wang Fang's shoulder and laughed: "Just kidding, let's take a look at your operation first, and we will cooperate in the future, there is an opportunity." ”
It can indeed be operated, because Wang Zhan found that there are already a few residents who are willing to spend money to buy dragon slaying points, and his daily turnover has reached 300 yuan, which is about 300 yuan, which can almost maintain the operating costs of the entire organization, which is an excellent sign. It's equivalent to 30 strong laborers for nothing, and there are 10 young men at a three-fold discount.
Seeing so many people coming, the landlord came to extort money, claiming to raise the rent, alas, why do people always fail to see others good?
There's no way, where you just got it, it's going to go up, but fortunately, you didn't attract the black snake. In order to prevent the black snake, he deliberately only made the two big words "maker" when he made the signboard, if there is the word "hostel", I am afraid that it will be regarded as a business place, and the fee will come, but I am not a money-making organization.
Well, we are bartering organizations.
