But why would you want to be
an entrepreneur?
Um, well, I have brief experience
working for corporates.
I think one of the… one of the main
reason I wanted to become an
entrepreneur at this age or at this timing
is because I think the opportunity cost of
starting a business is the lowest when
you've just graduated. (Right) And when
you grow older, when you have your own
family, you probably will need to have
the security of supporting your family; so
I chose to first experience on my own to
start a business first. There are actually
pros and cons of of it.
The pros is you have a low opportunity
cost, but also the con is that you would
lack of experience from from the
business world. Em, but I think so far
because of the Internet age as everything
is going so fast, I think everyone is just
learning as they start their own business.
I think it kind of… the gap between…
I would say it's kind of make it more fair
for younger people to also start a business
compared to like experienced people. (Because it's now easier.)
Because technology is actually easier for
younger people to also start their
company. (Yeah) So, if I may summarize
that, right. So, you have some corporate
experience and then but you want to start
your company because it’s the right timing
and technology make it now more
feasible for young people to start
a company. (Yeah, exactly.)
I know your company... you started your
company in Hong Kong but then you also
moved to Shanghai for your next venture.
(mhm) Tell me … tell us a little bit
about that.
So, we operated our car sharing platform
in Hong Kong for around two years and then
we thought that there are a lot of assets -
some valuable assets, for example, like
cameras, like expensive clothing or
jewelries. These are some assets that you
don't often use, but but
it's really expensive.
So, we were thinking how about we
create a platform that allows people to
share all these valuable assets and that's
when we… when we, when we think about
that we think Hong Kong maybe a really
small market, we want to tap into a city
where when it expand, it can go beyond
many cities. So, we chose to start these
new new venture in Shanghai.
