The sharing economy is a new business model driven by new technologies. It does not mean that as long as you catch up with the express train of the sharing economy, it will be pie in the sky. If someone tells you that you can "make money while lying down" by participating in the sharing economy, then he must be a liar.

When people explain what the sharing economy is, they often tell a little story like this:

Old Zheng opened a noodle shop, and Xiao Wang often came to Lao Zheng’s noodle shop to eat noodles. One day, Lao Zheng said to Xiao Wang: Is my noodles delicious? Xiao Wang said: Delicious! Lao Zheng then said: Then I invite you to be a partner of the noodle restaurant. Xiao Wang asked: How to cooperate?

Lao Zheng: The cooperation plan is like this - you can just come and eat noodles as usual, just like you did before! Now that you are my partner, I will give you a 30% discount when you come to eat noodles. If a friend asks you if the noodles at Lao Zheng’s are delicious? Just remember to say one sentence for me: "Lao Zheng Noodle Shop" It’s the most delicious, you can give me a 30% discount if you give me Xiao Wang’s name.” For friends who come to eat noodles with your name, I will reward you 1 yuan for every bowl they eat, and for every friend they recommend to eat noodles, they will get a bowl of noodles. , I will reward you 0.5 yuan.

Xiao Wang said: OK! OK!

So Xiao Wang introduced some friends to eat noodles next month. At the end of the month, Lao Zheng said to Xiao Wang: Because of your introduction this month, our store's business is booming, and they came to our store and ate 2,000 bowls of noodles in one day! This is the 1,800 yuan given to you as agreed! Xiao Wang thinks it’s great. I usually only come here to eat noodles. Now I can eat such delicious noodles and earn extra money at the same time. It’s really great.

Although this short story vividly illustrates the basic principles of the sharing economy, it is also one-sidedly interpreted by many people as "you can make money by just talking" and "you can make money by lying down"... This is normal. , because this explanation fully caters to the "laziness" in human nature and has been used by many scammers
