Chapter 31: A Wave of Zuckerberg's Wool

With Jamie's warm invitation, Nate eventually agreed to join.

But Rebecca asks a very real question.

If shared estates and holiday villas only provide services for members, it is only convenient for a small number of people, and the commercial value is limited.

To put it bluntly, everyone worked hard to set up such a company, but in the end they couldn't make any money.

So what's the point?

Generate electricity with love?

Jamie was glad that someone finally asked the question.

This is also the second way to improve the efficiency of the use of shared estates and holiday villas in addition to expanding the number of members.

That is to absorb the next level of membership.

Take Constance High School as an example.

Although the vast majority of students in the school are children of rich families, the children of rich families are also graded.

The small circle of Serena and Blair belongs to the top layer, and there are actually many layers below.

For example, Blair's little followers, their parents' net worth is at least tens of millions.

These people do not have a manor or villa dedicated to vacation, but they have the need to go to the manor or villa for vacation, and they also have the spending power.

Under normal circumstances, these people will choose to live in high-end hotels when they go on vacation.

Now, if shared estates and holiday villas are opened to this group of people, a large number of them will definitely choose to live in better estates and holiday villas.

In this way, a large wave of business was snatched from the hands of high-end hotels.

However, this is not the end of the story.

These sub-members do not have idle estates or holiday villas at home, but they will certainly have idle properties.

These houses and apartments can also be taken out to "share" to attract a more subordinate membership.

In this way, the continuous downward development cycle can form a complete travel home sharing community.

Whether it's a villa or an apartment, a castle or a treehouse, there's something for everyone in this shared community.

This model is actually the Airbnb of later generations.

One of the most successful cases in the wave of the sharing economy.

Of course, Jamie didn't copy Airbnb's homework exactly.

Airbnb started in the low-end market and gradually entered the high-end market.

Jamie, on the other hand, started with the high-end market, and then expanded to the low-end market layer by layer.

Compared to Airbnb, Jamie took a shortcut that was easier to succeed in.

As we all know, it is easy for a high-end brand to enter the low-end market, and in turn, if the low-end brand wants to enter the high-end market, it is equivalent to simply jumping directly to hell of difficulty.

And now, Jamie has only revealed the tip of the iceberg of this grand business blueprint, which has already made everyone excited.

Especially Rebecca.

The keen business sense cultivated by her family since she was a child made her realize that this is a business model with great potential.

Travel houses can be rented on a shared basis, but what about other things?

In front of the rest of the plane, Rebecca resisted the urge to discuss the issue with Jamie.

It's a good thing she didn't mention it, otherwise Jamie would have persuaded her to dismiss the idea.

The idea that everything can be shared is true, but not all shared business models can be successful.

Unfortunately, Rebecca is the epitome of that negative example.

A super unicorn that was once valued at $47 billion, the founder and his wife eventually retired and lived a financially free retirement life ahead of schedule, but the investors were miserable.

This is WeWork, the famous coworking leader in the past life.

But that's another story.

Also excited about Jamie's genius shared business plan is Serena, who asks Jamie what kind of name he plans to give the new company a name.

Based on the principle of copying homework and not copying names, Jamie decided to give up the name Airbnb.

Seeing Rebecca sitting diagonally across from him, Jamie had an idea.

"What do you think of WeHouse?"

The others looked at each other quickly.

The name sounds catchy, so I don't know if it has any special meaning.

Actually, no, it's literal.

But Jamie knew that if he said that, he would definitely disappoint everyone.

"The initials of We can be turned upside down to become Me, and this is the meaning of sharing, from mine to ours."

If it weren't for the private jet, the audience was only a handful of people, and Jamie felt there should be a round of applause.

In fact, his explanation really amazed everyone.

Even Dan and Vanessa, who thought that this kind of thing had nothing to do with themselves at all, and were just listening to the excitement on the side, cast admiring glances at Jamie.

With such a brain, you deserve to succeed!

Of course, the most excited person on the plane was Jimmy.

As soon as WeHouse was established, as Jamie's personal lawyer, he could become the company's legal representative in one step.

Jimmy's heart was darkened at the thought of the day when his brother Chuck saw the newspaper with the title of a barrister in front of his name and the scenery on the pages of the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal.

It dawned on him now that killing the poisonous insect that night might not be a bad thing at all.

Although the handle fell into the hands of the Dutton family, it also gained the trust of the Dutton family.

Thinking of the Yellowstone brand on his chest, Jimmy felt a little more confident in doing things in the future.

Once you've decided on a name for your company, the next step is to build your website.

Jamie's idea was to pay for a team dedicated to developing the website to do the job, but Rebecca said she had a friend.

Not only is the other party super good at programming, but the most important thing is that he can help for free.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

Except for Jamie, who didn't take a position immediately, the others were not very interested in it.

The rich second generation is not good at starting a business, and everyone is not bad for money.

Blair even wondered if Rebecca's person was reliable, or if she had other motives in doing so.

Rebecca had no choice but to pin all her hopes on Jamie, believing that Jamie would have guessed that the friend she had recommended was the same Phillips Exeter High School classmate who helped find out the true identity of the gossip queen.

That's when Jamie spoke.

"Can you tell me the name and contact information of your friend? I can talk to him first and see if he's the person I need. ”

Rebecca immediately replied excitedly:

"His name is Mark Zuckerberg, and if you ask any student at Phillips Exeter High School, they will tell you that Zuckerberg is a genius."

"Of course, geniuses are quirks, this guy likes to wear a pair of slippers to class regardless of cold or summer, and it is said that he will not clean up his room when he is in high school, his mother heard that he will live on campus, and even worries that he will not be able to live independently without a nanny."
