I am a contradiction person
This is not because it looks like 35 years old
(laughter)
The reason I would say this is because I grew up small
I am not a student who likes to study
But I went all the way to graduate school
All this must be thanked to the department I studied at university.
It’s called “Bachelor of Creative Design”
The reason why our department put creativity in front of the design
It is to hope that we think creatively beforehand
Talk about design
As for grades?
No one cares about grades
In my freshman year my design teacher
Give me an interesting design topic
Called design “contradiction.”
He hopes we can design a contradiction
And through this contradiction
To convey a strong idea
In order to understand what is contradictory
Our teacher hopes that we can do something that we wouldn’t normally do
So for me
I chose to attend school at that time
(laughter)
Maybe it’s because I haven’t come to school for too long.
I found the desk and chair drawers in the classroom
There are many loose changes in the corner
These one dollar five yuan
I usually bring my classmates pockets into the classroom
At the end of class
Just like I fell asleep in class
Left in the classroom
But these are money yeah
Everyone loves money
How can someone not like money?
Now I thought of a way to design my contradictions
I am in various empty classrooms
Finding the rest of the classmate for $1.00
Light for a week
I collected more than 4,200 yuan
(laughter)
Then I put this money
Through hot melt adhesive stick to a trash bucket
It looks like a trash can
Finally, I put this bin on the stairwell
Observe how the classmates use this trash can
Every classmate who passed the stairs
Every student who throws trash inside
They do not know this trash can
That is, they are usually accumulated from the remaining one dollar five yuan.
And this trash itself is a cash of more than 4,200 yuan
It may be that they have lost the most expensive trash
The result of the experiment was very successful
About a week later
The trash was stolen
(laughter)
So I have not been a good student
But the results of the experiment are still interesting
Although everyone likes money
But I found some money that others didn’t like
This matter gave me a lot of inspiration
Just like rock musicians in the library
Like a classical orchestra in a market
One better thing
When we put it in different places in different places
It will create different results
Everyone likes money but not everyone likes change
So I think if I can make these small changes together and do something small
Accumulating these small things into a big event
Then I can create even greater conflicts
Delivering more effective ideas
Since then I have fallen in love with observation
Just my mom is a guide
So every time I accompany her to the plane
Is my best observation time
You can observe the passengers of various countries in the airport
Observed travelers of different ages
Observing different cultural travelers
Gradually I fell in love with the observation
I often mix in the airport
I often rely on the airport
I often sleep at the airport
At the time, I was probably like Tom Hank of Terminal Love.
Staying in the airport for almost two months
Although no heroine was found
But I found an interesting thing
That is: Some people do not like this change more than my classmates.
Who are these people?
Some of these people are ready to leave the local foreign tourists
The interesting thing is
You can often see them leaving the money
The clerk given to the duty-free shop as a tip
Or donate the remaining money to the homeless people they feel affable
Like me
(laughter)
More I often see
It’s some travelers who press computers in duty-free shops.
Calculate how much money will be spent to spend those remaining currencies
This behavior of spending money to spend money
It makes me feel very contradictory
So I stayed in the airport for another 6 months
In these 6 months
According to my survey
Over 96% of travelers have foreign currency left on their body
And the money left by each traveler
On average, there are as many as 17 US dollars on average.
In other words, the remaining currencies that will be accumulated each year in the world
Nearly 50 billion U.S. dollars
This money is enough for me to make a big trash can
To create a big enough contradiction
So starting from March 1 this year
I established a company with my friends
Launched a service called Airport Cashier.
The service we offer is for all travelers
Can leave their remaining local currency
Make more valuable use
We provide two services:
The first service
Visitors can enter their online payment system account number
Save this money to their online payment system
Currently we provide several of the most prestigious payment systems in the world
Like PayPal Alipay WeChat Payment
There are LINE Pay and Visa
Passengers can deposit this money into the payment system
Continue to use after returning home
Of course there are also very small and very small money
It may be a decimal point like two three digits
If I can accumulate this money and make a big dollar
Then I can do something that can change the world
So if you want to be better with this world
Or you have too little money left
Then you can also use our platform
Donate this money directly to a designated charity
Or social enterprise
You don’t have to worry about the money going into the charities that have no way
You can be on our big platform
Seeing the objects you donated also have units
When you find out that their ideas are the same as you
You can donate this money to them
It is open and transparent from beginning to end
And send the money directly to their hands
I believe that to make someone sincerely want to do good deeds
It is not an easy thing
So our Airport Cashier offers two services
On the one hand, this kind of money on the traveler generates value for himself.
On the other hand, the money donated by tourists contributes to society.
Only when both doors are open
Travelers will really open their hearts
Willing to cooperate with us
Provide such services
From 2017
Airport Cashier will continue to provide services at several airports around the world
As long as passengers enter our cooperation with the duty-free shops
Pay the remaining money to the clerk
And let them scan the barcode on the site
You can complete all the operational procedures
It will not take you more than 20 seconds from start to finish
What’s even better is that this is not an application
You don’t need to download any application to use this service
Because we really want to make your remaining money more valuable
This year we are successively in different airports in different countries.
Provide related testing services
We serve travelers from more than 40 countries around the world
And they have been evaluated positively and negatively.
One of the most touched by me was a young Hong Kong woman.
She looked at me firmly
Tell me:
(Cantonese accent) “You really made my money more valuable.”
(laughter)
I think this is the contradiction I want to create
Make every penny you generate valuable
Let it spend more on you
More cherished people
More treasured things
We are at the Airport Cashier Airport
I am training
We believe we can make small change in your hands
Make a big difference to the world
thank you all
(applause)
