Shared office platform becomes a new economic hot spot

Our reporter Sun Qiru

  Pet economy, business weather, short video, online education, artificial intelligence... On the intelligent, flexible and personalized shared office platform, many innovative and entrepreneurial seedlings are thriving here and grow rapidly.

Driven by technology and talents, the new models and businesses that have grown up on Beijing's shared office platform are becoming a highlight of Beijing's high-quality economic development.

According to data released by the Municipal Bureau of Statistics, in the first half of this year, Beijing’s new economy accounted for 38.5% of the city’s regional GDP.

  New business format companies rise against the trend

  Do you think the "cat owner" at home can only sell cuteness and scratch the sofa?

In fact, they can also play the "pipa", wear Chinese clothes, and even live in the cat house of the royal palace in the Forbidden City.

Even Fang Xiaojie herself did not expect that cultural and creative pet products such as the "Forbidden Royal Meow House" cat house launched by her and her partners became popular among cat lovers as soon as they appeared on the market.

  In the Rainbow Bridge community of the shared office platform "Dream Plus", Fang Xiaojie's entrepreneurial team is a pet owner.

The common interest attracted them to get together. Coupled with the composite background of FMCG and Internet companies, Fang Xiaojie and his team keenly captured the creative consumption experience behind pets.

"The epidemic has further catalyzed the housing economy, people have more interaction needs with pets, and new pet owners have also increased." She said.

  The cat house jointly launched with the Palace Cultural IP of the Forbidden City, the pipa cat scratching board that makes a sound when the cat’s claw touches it, the Han costume worn by the cat...With the words "national tide, antiquity, licking cat" and other words are becoming more and more popular among young consumers , Fang Xiaojie’s pet consumer brand "Yishiwu" has now achieved monthly sales of one million yuan.

  Different from Fang Xiaojie's team relying on creativity to conquer the world, Wu Fei's mind-knowing technology uses technology to "dig money" to God.

  How does the wind direction and wind speed around the power generating fan towering on the hill change every 15 minutes?

How much electricity can be generated for the wind power station every day?

When may the property underwritten by the insurance company be hit by a typhoon?

Based on high-precision meteorological data, Wu Fei's Xinzhi Technology team helps companies make decisions and resist risks, and can accurately answer these questions to help companies reduce risks.

"In the second quarter of this year, the business has increased by 3 times year-on-year and month-on-month, and the growth is expected to reach 2 to 3 times throughout the year," said Wu Fei.

  In this city, new economic and new business start-ups such as Yishiwu and Xinzhi Technology have been active, bucking the trend, and have become an important force in boosting Beijing's economic stabilization and recovery.

  International talent gathering

  While working in the United States, Wu Fei saw the huge market where mature commercial weather services in the United States are deeply applied in the energy, agriculture, insurance and other industries, and he also felt that there is a big gap between China and the United States in this field.

At the end of 2015, with the official opening of China's commercial weather service market, Wu Fei resigned from Microsoft and returned to China to start a business.

  Today, the majority of Wu Fei's team of about 20 are R&D personnel. The company has completed two rounds of financing and achieved revenues of 10 million yuan. The third round of financing is currently underway.

  Contrary to Wu Fei's pace, Zhang Ziang's team is exporting China's leading mobile Internet entrepreneurship experience overseas.

  In the past six months, in addition to completing a intensive work schedule, the 28-year-old Zhang Ziang has also made special time every day to learn Spanish.

Zhang Ziang is the founder of Heiwei Interactive. Half a year ago, the team he founded in China and Latin America was launched. Now he runs Kalo, the first local short video social platform in Latin America.

"Our positioning is the'old iron' community in Latin America. Latin America has a population of nearly 700 million, of which 400 million are Spanish speakers. It is the second largest single-language market outside of China and is very suitable for short video platforms." Zhang Ziang said.

  Kalo now ranks among the top ten social apps in Latin America, and is expected to reach tens of millions of users by the end of this year.

  In Wangjing, Guanghua Road, Jianguomen, Hailong Building, Changying... In the 23 shared spaces of Dream Plus Beijing, more than 20% of the settled companies are involved in overseas business, and nearly 40% of the settled companies have attracted international talents.

  New economic platforms are lined up

  The stories of Fang Xiaojie, Wu Fei and Zhang Ziang are the epitome of the vigorous development of Beijing's new industries and formats driven by technology, cultural and creative forces.

In just one or two years, the company has grown from a team of a few people to dozens or hundreds of people, and its revenue has increased from zero to tens of millions of yuan. Such a growth rate is very common in new economy companies.

  Different from the entrepreneurial stories of earlier years, many startups that were just starting out are not huddled in simple houses, but have gained a higher starting point on the intelligent and personalized shared office platform.

  “Affected by the epidemic, flexible office has become a new choice for many companies. You can choose the time period freely in different places. The sales of our flexible office services from May to June have reached the total of the previous six months." Dream Plus United Founding Wang Xiaolu said.

On the platform, entrepreneurs can enjoy free entry and exit, fast booking of meeting rooms and other services in dozens of shared office spaces located in multiple cities across the country with simple operations on their mobile phones.

  In the dream plus space of Liangmaqiao Shengfu Building, an entrepreneurial sharing live broadcast entitled "Entering Entrepreneurs''Ingenuity'" is underway.

Ring fill light, mobile phone holder, condenser microphone, sound card mixer, iPhone adapter are all available.

In the multiple office spaces of Dream Plus, the settled companies can start broadcasting with "bags" as long as they purchase the live broadcast package.

  In Beijing, there are many shared office platforms. In addition to Dream Plus, platforms such as Youke Workshop, Krypton Space, WeWork, Shared Space, and Entrepreneurship Commune are also gathering places for new models and new business types, online education, e-commerce, artificial intelligence, and wisdom. Fantastic ideas in medical, new retail, Internet of Things, short videos, knowledge sharing, unmanned economy and other fields continue to nurture, and the dreams of more "unicorn" or "quasi-unicorn" companies will also set sail from here .
