This is Jay Thornhill. I first moved to China in 2007 when I was 21 years old. And now it has been 12 years and counting.
我是Jay Thornhill。我首次搬來中國是在2007年,那時我才21歲。現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)12年了。
The idea for the online shopping platform came in the summer of 2015. It was a problem because we had all lived in China for years, but we weren't shopping online. There were all kinds of pain points that were stopping us from enjoying online shopping. We saw the opportunity in it because we knew that we would love a solution to that problem.
2015年夏天,我們有了創(chuàng)辦網(wǎng)上購物平臺的想法。我們面臨一個問題就是我們都在中國生活了多年,但沒有在網(wǎng)上購物。有各種各樣的痛點阻止我們享受網(wǎng)上購物。我們從中看到了機會,因為我們想要解決(在華外國人)網(wǎng)上購物難的問題。
It's not very difficult to start a business in China, as far as, you know, creating a business entity and figuring out, you know, how to sell something that people want.
在中國創(chuàng)業(yè)并不難。只要創(chuàng)建一個商業(yè)實體,然后琢磨如何將人們想要的東西銷售出去。
There are a lot of things that we benefited from by simply being here in China. One is the opportunity itself of the market, the need, you know, to satisfy something that foreigners in China wanted. We also benefit from having a great labor pool here. There are a lot of really enthusiastic, hardworking people. And so it was easy for us to build a team and build a team of the kind of people that can help make a business succeed.
在中國,我們受益良多。一是市場機會本身,即滿足在華外國人的需要。我們也受益于中國巨大的人才庫。這里有很多非常熱情、勤奮的人。因此,我們很容易建立一個能夠幫企業(yè)成功的團隊。
