Airbnb

1. no need to management for the house
2. non standardized item -> control safety, nice photo

Difference between Airbnb, Uber (Didi)

1. no expected price in Airbnb due to non standardized item
2. travel platform -> winner takes all (not need to do price fight) -> no need to merge other companies; However, Uber localization -> they can do only NY best platform
3. revenue easily higher than Didi, Uber -> no need to subsidy
