In recent years, the concept of shared economy has prevailed in Europe and the United States with the advantages of environmental protection and high efficiency, and many successful innovative modes have been born. In China, there is no shortage of new models to follow this concept. However, the Chinese-style national conditions can embrace the concept of inclusive attitude?

Sharing economy can be called collaborative consumption, specifically, a person's idle items, the extra time, have the skills to share with others. This model can liberate a large number of social productive forces, save social resources, in line with future social trends.

Abroad, the typical shared economy company Uber (car sharing concept of car rental service platform), Airbnb (housing sharing service platform), TaskRabbit (errands outsourcing service platform), are greatly European and American markets recognized. Uber's total valuation has reached 18.2 billion US dollars, Uber's CEO Travis Kalanick Uber has been compared as "the intersection of lifestyle and mode of transport." He believes that Uber can provide the service should be far more than purely means of transport. Logical thinking Luo Zhenyu also talked about his optimistic about the sharing economy, and Huaxing capital CEO Bao Fan also think that in 2014 the most anticipated US capital markets IPO technology company is Uber.

In China, where Internet thinking is developing rapidly, there are also many new crowdsourcing platforms supported by the sharing of economic concepts, such as courier for all, easy-to-use vehicles, and Tujia.com. However, the development of these companies in China is not always easy.

Take courier for everybody as an example, it has a huge user base of 7 million registered users and 1.8 million free couriers in just a few months on the line. But then, the successive stops in Hubei, Henan, Tianjin and Shanghai caused them to fall into turmoil and the pressure of social public opinion made it difficult for them to make development.

From the product point of view, even if the current courier, easy to use car, Tujia network and TaskRabbit, Uber, Airbnb compared to inadequate, but the technical gap is not too far away. In the United States, the crowdsourcing paradigms such as TaskRabbit, Uber and Airbnb can all be done with the same rhetoric, the same philosophy and the same model. How can Chinese companies get out of their way? The root cause lies in honesty and since China's integrity system Offline or online) has not been mature enough, the high cost of trust, resulting in a crowded platform supported by a shared economy is very difficult landing.

Many VC also have concerns about this. Gan Jianping, a partner at Qiming Venture Partners, believes that this model, which has yet to be tested in China, has yet to be tested in China. After all, there are differences in the qualities and integrity of the community among China and the United States, which will directly affect the consumer experience.

Xie Qin, founder of Courier, once said: "My ultimate vision is to build a free and crowded crowdsourcing platform based on a social integrity system." He believes that "Chinese people's integrity can be used to make money and make big profits." However, Xie Qin admits that in the past few years, all couriers and erectors have mainly set up a set of tools to help establish a system of personal integrity. As for the personal credit data, there is still a process of accumulation.

In fact, the domestic Ye Hao, foreign worth mentioning this crowdsourcing model supported by the shared economy, in line with the future trend of development. However, whether China's national conditions can accept such ideas and provide them with suitable soil for growth is still unknown.
