Giant of the times

At this time, Airbnb has attracted countless investors.

In order to win her over, William paid a sky-high price of 1 billion U.S. dollars. This price shocked people and made them stunned. The venture capitalists shook their heads and sadly withdrew from the competition.

The rich master is really untouchable.

An acquisition of more than 1 billion US dollars on the Internet can be regarded as a big deal, and it immediately attracted media attention.

Airbnb has been called “the EBay of housing” by Time Magazine.

However, the big tree attracts the wind.

When Airbnb was acquired by William, it was equivalent to being acquired by Li Zetian. Therefore, many things related to Airbnb were amplified. Soon, business rivals broke the scandal of Airbnb.

"It's awesome! AirBnB has installed cameras, and the landlord secretly filmed the tenants having sex~~ and threatened them with money, and even asked to have sex with the female tenants!"

“Airbnb is actually a ‘magic tool for hooking up’. There are many landlords who do not charge tenants, but require tenants to do some indescribable things with them every night, such as having sex!”

"..."

The Airbnb scandal was revealed, which made the website even more popular.

Some netizens said: "Wow! I didn't even know that Airbnb existed before. Since I saw these news, I realized that there is such an awesome 'date tool'! Haha, in my home There are a lot of empty rooms. If any beautiful girl wants to rent them, it’s free~~~”

"Damn it, you are so crazy and dressed like a beast. How can you install a camera in the room? There is no morality and it is so shameless! I have used Airbnb several times. Although the experience is novel, when I think about the possibility that I may have been secretly photographed, I I feel sick in my heart, I will never use Airbnb again!”

“Okay, not all Airbnb hosts are so perverted. Many hotels actually install cameras in the rooms. So, my advice to everyone is, whether you are using Airbnb or staying in a hotel, you must Be careful, it’s best not to have sex. Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.”

"If you don't want to have sex when you go to a hotel to book a room, then why go to the hotel?"

"..."

At this time, the most depressed person was William. He never expected that something would go wrong just after he acquired Airbnb.

"Jingle Bell!"

Suddenly, the phone rang.

William answered the phone, and a voice came from the other side and said: "Mr. Li, the number of registered users of Airbnb has increased dramatically!"

"Really?!" William's face was full of astonishment. Can a scandal increase the number of Airbnb users? But looking back, this data may be true, but if Airbnb’s reputation becomes bad, the company will quickly hit a ceiling and its development space will be limited.

This was one wave after another, and soon another scandal broke out.

"Shocked!!! An Airbnb host was robbed by travelers!"

As soon as the news came out, Airbnb could not help but worsen. A major online trust crisis emerged, which extremely seriously threatened the development of Airbnb.

William suddenly felt dizzy, "Oh, damn, Airbnb has so many problems!!!"

When William returned home, he felt very uncomfortable and had no appetite for food.

Li Zetian glanced at him and said, "Is there something wrong with Airbnb?"

"Yes, the constant scandals have caused Airbnb to have a major crisis of trust. If it is not handled properly, it may lead to the decline of the Airbnb website!" William said with a worried face.

Li Zetian said calmly: "Since it is a trust crisis, let's create some very valuable solutions to build a trust network."

"Yes, our team is thinking of a solution!" William nodded. He raised his head and looked at his father, only to see that he was calm as usual, with a smile on his lips. William couldn't help but think that his father was omnipotent. There is already a solution.

"Dad, you must have thought of a solution, tell me!" William poured Li Zetian a glass of red wine attentively.

Li Zetian smiled slightly and nodded: "I did think of a lot of ideas."

"Then tell me quickly!"

"Okay, but I'll tell you part of it, and the rest is up to you."

"ok, no problem."

Li Zetian pondered for a moment and said: "The way to build trust is actually very simple. For example, create a new 'verify identity' function and establish effective Endorsement. You can also add authentication functions to the Airbnb platform to implement real-name systems to help enhance trust between travelers and hosts.

The other is to establish a real evaluation system. Since reviews come from both parties, landlords and tenants are very worried that if they leave a true and negative review, the other party will also give them a negative review. To solve this problem, Airbnb should allow reviews to be displayed at the same time only after both parties have completed their review. "

Li Zetian paused, looked at William and said: "Trust is a problem that needs to be faced and dealt with for all products, but this problem is the most crucial for Airbnb! Therefore, establishing a The credit mechanism is Airbnb’s top priority, with the main focus on four aspects:

1. Tenants’ trust in landlords.

2. The landlord’s trust in the landlord.

3. Mutual trust between tenants and landlords.

4. Everyone’s trust in Airbnb. "

After hearing this, William couldn't help but admire his father, but at the same time he also smiled bitterly: "Dad, how come you know more about Airbnb than me? I'm so ashamed!"

Li Zetian took a sip of red wine, smiled lightly, and said nothing.

William sighed in his heart, feeling that he would never be able to surpass his father in this life.

After dinner, William immediately went upstairs to sort out what Li Zetian had just said, and then contacted Airbnb CEO Joe Gebbia to launch these trust-building functions.

After listening to William's story, Joe Gebbia was extremely shocked: "As the founder and CEO of Airbnb, I don't understand Airbnb as thoroughly as the other party. Fortunately, I agreed to be acquired, otherwise, if there was such strong competition, Rival, Airbnb must not be its rival!”

After a while, Joe Gebbia said: "Okay, Mr. Li, I believe that with your words tonight, Airbnb's trust crisis will be resolved soon!"

"Well, that would be the best!"

After William finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

A week later, the Airbnb website and APP were updated. The new Airbnb established a very useful trust mechanism, which immediately gained the support and favor of many people, and the business volume increased rapidly!

Airbnb came back to life, and William finally breathed a sigh of relief.

So I focused on Uber and shared bikes.

William not only wants to make Uber a taxi-hailing software, but also wants to add shared bicycles to it. This does not seem to be contradictory, because it solves people's travel problems and should be more conducive to Uber's development.
