Chapter 621: Chapter 621: Preparing to set up the Neighbourhood House Network (Part 1)

Jin Ling threw the silver-grey blazer over her shoulders and was wearing only a silk, royal-blue, round-neck, sleeveless shirt. When she saw Feng Yiping’s car, she pushed her sunglasses up to her forehead. ‘You little prude, you bought a sports car too?’

‘The style of my car is completely different from yours. Look, it combines stability, elegance and dignity, and it’s a perfect reflection of me,’

‘Cut it out!’ Jin Ling almost gave him the finger, “Where are the keys? Give them to me!’

Hong Haoran looked at the car logo on the front of the car, “Bentley, Yiping, you’ve finally indulged in luxury!’

‘Cars are cheaper here, and they’re not comparable to the local tyrants in China. Some people in China can buy an airplane here with the money they would spend on a car,’ Feng Yiping said.

Isn’t it so? Those people in China who spend tens of millions or even tens of billions of yuan on cars can easily buy an airplane in the US.

‘We’ll stay at your place for the next two days, which will save on travel expenses,’ Feng Yiping suggested.

Jin Ling gave him a reproachful look. He was still so stingy. He slammed on the gas pedal, and the car, which had been steeped in the style of a British gentleman, suddenly became wild.

‘Will it be too much of a disturbance at home?’ Hong Haoran asked.

‘No, I heard that Jingping was very happy to hear that you were coming,’

They sped all the way to the top of the mountain, and as they looked at the large modern house in front of them, Jin Ling couldn’t stop “tsk tsk”ing. ‘You bought such a big house just for a year’s stay? Tell me, who’s the spendthrift?’

‘I just said the wrong thing,’ Hong Haoran didn’t feel like moving the luggage either. He looked around, “Compared to this house, your car is really not considered extravagant,’

‘Jingping, Mr. Hong,” Huang Jingping ran out of the house and took Jinling’s hand, ‘We’ve finally arrived, come inside,’

In front of Huang Jingping, Jin Ling is always a qualified big sister. ‘Have you been here for a few days and are you used to it yet?’ She asked, patting Huang Jingping’s hand.

‘At first I really wasn’t used to it. It’s so quiet here, and you have to go a long way to buy anything. It’s getting better now,’

‘You’ll get used to it after a while. Come on, show me your mansion,’

Feng Yiping, who had transformed into a waiter, had just delivered the suitcases to the room when Jin Ling burst in. ‘Get out of here,’ she said, pushing Feng Yiping out of the way. ‘And tell Mr Hong that you two should stay in the front of the house for now. The backyard is our girls’ domain. Got it?’

‘I know, it’s just swimming, what’s there to be ashamed of?’

Comrade Hong Haoran is a good comrade. If you don’t let him go to the backyard, he really won’t go. He sits under the parasol in the front yard, overlooking the place where he once studied and worked.

As for Feng Yiping, young people are bound to be a bit rebellious. If you don’t let me go, I’m going to go anyway. He walks over with two drinks in his hands, ‘Come on, you have to remember to rehydrate when exercising,’

Huang Jingping did not go into the water. She was sitting by the pool in her pyjamas, splashing water around. Jin Ling was swimming happily inside. The swimsuit she was wearing looked familiar. Was it Huang Jingping’s?

She was a good swimmer. With a single push against the pool wall, she nimbly swam to the other side. She took a sip from her drink and said, ‘What do you think? I told you he would definitely come in, didn’t I?

‘I told him to come in,’ Huang Jingping laughed lightly.

‘You, just keep indulging him,’ Jin Ling tapped her, picked up the bath towel to wipe the water off her head and body, ‘why did you call us over in such a hurry? What’s the big deal?’

‘No hurry, you guys rest in the afternoon, we’ll talk about it tonight, Mike will be here too,’

Feng Yiping stared at her openly and said to Huang Jingping, ‘look, this boxing practice is really good, her muscles are really strong,’

He told a girl to her face that she had firm muscles, so Huang Jingping gave him a gentle jab. ‘What are you talking about?’

…

‘During the first few days I had an idea, and after some thinking and research over the past two days, that idea has gradually become clear. I feel that this is a market with great potential,’

After dinner, the five of them sat formally in the living room, listening to Feng Yiping’s reasons for gathering everyone together.

‘At the party the other day, I got a rough idea. In the community, nearly 30% of the residents don’t know the names of any of their neighbours for various reasons. Only about 15% of the residents can call out the names of all their neighbours, but these 15% are not friends with their neighbours, even though they may be friendly. They just exchange polite smiles or say hello when they meet,’

what he said left everyone confused.

‘But at the same time, more than 90% of people think that after getting married, life revolves around neighbours. You buy a house here, get married and have children, and your children go to school here too. Most of your real life happens here, so they feel that it is very important for neighbours to interact and look after each other,’

‘So I found that there is a good opportunity here. We can establish a social networking platform driven by real life,’

‘You see, this is a map of the community, and these are the houses,’ he says, showing a rough sketch he has drawn. ‘We use colours to indicate the homes of registered members and non-members. Here, you can label your name, edit your profile, upload pictures, etc., and you can comment on other people’s pictures and statuses. Of course, you can also choose not to do any of this,’

‘Then, corresponding to the needs of daily life, we have very detailed categories in the forum, such as travel information, food maps and reviews of restaurants, entertainment, daily chores, gardening, healthcare, pets and so on,’

‘Users can ask questions, give advice and recommendations on their neighbours’ problems, and also buy and sell second-hand goods,’

‘For example, I can ask a question now, I need a good gardener, and other users in the community can provide relevant information. And, for example, Mike, your children are getting older, and you have all those old baby carriages, etc., and you are going to hold an auction in the garage at the weekend, and you can also post information on it,’

‘For example, if a puppy gets lost accidentally, you don’t have to go knocking on the doors of your neighbours one by one. After uploading it here, all registered users will help you keep an eye out,’

‘The problem is that many people are worried that private information such as their address and family members will be disclosed,’ Mike frowned.

‘So, our main focus is authenticity, privacy and security,’

‘First of all, the administrator must strictly verify the user who applies for registration. For example, if I want to join this community now, the administrator must make sure that I am the person who lives in this house before agreeing.

Mike, is there any other way to do this quickly and easily, apart from sending the applicant a letter or postcard with a verification code? Feng Yiping asked the local Mike.

‘Yes, you can check the credit card tied to the address. This should be verified quickly,’

‘Then take note of this. Also, if your neighbour, or someone you know, has already passed the verification, then you can also ask him to vouch for you to pass the verification,’

‘This is the first step. After passing the verification and joining the community, you can see on the map which neighbours have joined this online community,’

‘But after joining this community, you can only see information related to this community and have no right to view information from other communities, such as the information of those residents who have joined the community under another sub-station in the east,’

‘Moreover, all this information is not accessible from the outside, for example, it cannot be searched for on Google. Technically, there is no problem with this, is there?’ Feng Yiping asked Hong Haoran.

‘There are various technical means to protect privacy within the community,’ Hong Haoran said.

However, as a technical person, he still couldn’t tell from Feng Yiping’s description just how big a business opportunity there was, and why he had made such a big fuss.

‘When there are security incidents in the community, or when suspicious people or situations are seen, strange noises heard at night, or sudden disasters such as fires, everyone can also promptly post relevant information on the website to alert others and assist the police in handling the case.

In the later stages, we can maintain cooperation with many government departments to post information on anti-theft, crime, public facility construction, etc. in specific areas. In short, a multi-pronged approach will make neighbours more harmonious and willing to help each other, and make the community safer,’
