Eighty-three strangers in Wuhan raise money to open a coffee shop and plan to open a branch one month later.

What can I do with 2000 yuan? In Room 1002, Building 6, Intelligent Garden, East Tsim Sha Tsui, Guanggu Plaza, there is a cafe with 83 shareholders who do not know each other but raise 250000 yuan at the price of 2000 yuan per share.

At present, the "many people Cafe", which integrates many people's entrepreneurial dreams, has not only been in trial operation for a month, but also registered a "Wuhan many people" cultural communication company.

Yesterday, the reporter came to the Light Valley Square and walked into this magical cafe.

Coffee shop site selection and decoration, people do it themselves.

In the community near Guanggu Square, the reporter easily found the small signboard of "many people's Cafe" in small print. Cheerful and romantic western music, soft lighting, wooden tables and chairs, the old clock and large projection placed in the corner exude simple, fashionable serenity and comfort. Products include coffee, scented tea, cocktails, muffins. The cheapest coffee here is 10 yuan per cup and the most expensive one is 30 yuan. In the store, all kinds of cartoon patterns and greetings are depicted with all kinds of chalk on the blackboards.

Here, the reporter saw the coffee shop Weibo promotion Yu Xiaoxiao, a quiet post-80s girl, according to her, it was Wuhan girl "MIG" who proposed on Douban, "Let's open a coffee shop with 2000 yuan". Two years ago, MIG was seriously ill and had chemotherapy in Wuhan. Now she follows her parents back to Zhongshan, Guangdong to recuperate. So most of the preparatory work for opening the store is done by the partners in Wuhan.

The location shareholders of the store traveled to the three towns of Wuhan and later found that the board game bar located at the Guanggu station of Metro Line 2 was being transferred, and everyone was very satisfied with it. It was soon confirmed that the store was the first shop in Wuhan's "many people Cafe". The decoration and layout of the store are all done by the partners themselves. All the items in the store are donated by shareholders.

Once a week, shareholders will move their dreams into reality.

"on the way to the cafe of many people in Wuhan. A little irritable, a little tired, but also asked myself, do you want to be so upset? Realizing your dream requires not only pressure but also temperature. " This is a remark made by shareholders on Weibo during the preparatory period, confirming Yu Xiao's saying, "during the preparatory period, we met almost every week and set the articles of association, division of labor, and so on." Every step of'A lot of people Cafe'is very down-to-earth. "

From the initial registration of more than 100 people to the 83 who actually participated, Yu Xiaoxiao said that many people were motivated and confident in the cafe, but many people left in the process. After precipitation, the remaining 83 shareholders came from various industries.

"the remaining 83 people, pragmatic, sincere and optimistic, we have moved our dreams into reality step by step." With concerted efforts, many people Cafe opened on November 18 this year.

If you encounter a major event that requires the participation of shareholders, you will raise your hands to vote after the speech, "the process is short and smooth, and the problem is solved smoothly and smoothly!"

More people with the same dream are welcome to join us.

"on Christmas Eve, many people Cafe will hold a movie week with snow as the theme, looking forward to the snow this year. If it snows outside the window during the exhibition, the coffee in the whole store will be free! " Unlike many cafes that only sell food, "many people Cafe" pays more attention to the effect of platform communication, holding theme activities every three or five times. Store manager A Chao told reporters that using creativity to bring high popularity is also what makes "many people Cafe" different. A Chao is an intermediate barista, and many customers come to the store for the delicious new coffee products he has developed.

In order to save costs, many Cafe employs only one full-time clerk, and the rest are shareholders or temporary "one-day clerks" recruited on Weibo.

What if the cafe ends up losing money? Faced with this problem, shareholder Xiaoyi stressed that opening a coffee shop to make money is of course the goal, but it is by no means the only goal. "many of our shareholders are more involved in the original intention of meeting more interesting people and trying something interesting, and more of them are people who have a cafe dream. Next, we will hold netizens' salons, audio and video conferences, coffee colleges and other activities to promote popularity. At present, there are still some friends who constantly want to join us and are expected to open a branch in Hankou. " Shareholder Shan Shan said.
