Meizong Wealth Life

Chapter 32 Let’s first gather some of Zuckerberg’s wool
Under Jamie's enthusiastic invitation, Nate finally agreed to join.

But Rebecca raised a very real question.

If shared manors and vacation villas only provide services to members, it will only benefit a small number of people and have limited commercial value.

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

What else are you trying to figure out?
Generate electricity with love?

Jamie was glad someone finally asked the question.

This is also the second way to improve the utilization efficiency of shared estates and vacation villas, besides expanding the number of members, as he mentioned earlier.

That is to attract sub-level members.

Take Constance High School as an example.

Although most of the students in the school are children from rich families, children from rich families are also divided into different levels.

The small circle like Serena and Blair belong to the top layer, but there are actually many layers below.

For example, the parents of Blair's few followers are worth at least tens of millions.

These people do not have manors or villas specifically used for vacation, but they have the need to vacation in manors and villas, and they also have the spending power.

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

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

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

However this is not over.

These sub-level members do not have idle manors or vacation villas at home, but they will definitely have idle properties.

These houses and apartments can also be "shared" to attract lower-level members.

In this continuous downward development cycle, a complete travel home sharing community can be formed.

Whether it's a villa or an apartment, a castle or a treehouse, everyone can rent a travel home that suits them in this shared community.

This model is actually the Airbnb of later generations.

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

Of course, Jamie didn’t completely copy Airbnb’s work.

Airbnb started from the mid- to low-end market and gradually entered the high-end market.

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

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

As we all know, it is easy for a high-end brand to enter the mid-to-low-end market. On the other hand, if a mid-to-low-end brand wants to enter the high-end market, it is equivalent to jumping directly to the difficulty of hell.

At the moment, Jamie has only revealed the tip of the iceberg of this grand business blueprint, and it has already made everyone excited.

Especially Rebecca.

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

Travel homes can be shared and rented, but can other things be rented as well?
Rebecca resisted the urge to broach the issue with Jamie in front of everyone else on the plane.

Fortunately she didn't mention it, otherwise Jamie would have persuaded her to give up the idea.

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

Unfortunately, Rebecca is a classic example of that.

A super unicorn that was once valued at 470 billion US dollars. In the end, the founder and his wife retired and lived a financially free retirement life in advance. However, the investors were deceived.This is WeWork, the famous shared office leader in its previous life.

But that's another story.

Serena was also excited about Jamie's genius shared business plan. She asked Jamie on the spot what name he was going to give the new company.

In line with the principle of copying homework but not names, Jamie decided to give up the name Airbnb.

Seeing Rebecca sitting diagonally opposite, Jamie had an idea.

"What do you think of WeHouse?"

The others looked at each other quickly.

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

Actually, there really isn’t, it’s just what it means literally.

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

"The initials of We can be turned into Me when reversed. This is the meaning of sharing, from mine to ours."

If it weren't for the fact that there were only a few people in the audience on a private jet, Jamie felt that there would have been warm applause here.

In fact, his explanation really surprised everyone.

Even Dan and Vanessa, who initially thought that this kind of thing had nothing to do with them and were just listening to the fun, cast admiring glances at Jamie.

With such a brain, you deserve to succeed!
Of course the most excited person on the plane was Jimmy.

Once WeHouse was established, as Jamie's personal lawyer, he could definitely become the company's legal representative.

When he thought of one day having the title of a barrister in front of his name, appearing in the pages of the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal, and his brother Chuck's shocked expression when he saw the newspaper, Jimmy felt a dark feeling in his heart. Cool.

He suddenly felt that killing that poisonous insect that night might not be such a bad thing at all.

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

When he thought of the yellow stone mark on his chest, Jimmy felt that he would be more confident in doing things in the future.

After deciding on a company name, the next step is to build a website.

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

The other party is not only 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 stand immediately, no one else was very interested.

It is not good for the rich second generation to start a business. Everyone is not short of money.

Blair even doubted whether the person Rebecca found was reliable, or if she had other motives for doing so.

Rebecca had no choice but to place all her hopes on Jamie. She believed that Jamie would be able to guess that the friend she recommended was the classmate of Phillips Exeter High School who helped find out the true identity of the gossip queen.

Then Jamie spoke.

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

Rebecca immediately replied excitedly:
"His name is Mark Zuckerberg. Ask any student at Phillips Exeter High School and they will tell you that Zuckerberg is a genius."

"Of course geniuses have eccentricities. This guy likes to wear a pair of slippers to class no matter whether it's cold or hot. It's said that he won't be able to clean up his room by himself in high school. His mother heard that he was going to live on campus and was even worried that he wouldn't be able to do anything without the nanny. Live independently."
