This WeChat mini program doesn’t yet have a monetization strategy, but has still received over US$110 million in funding in one year
In early 2017, Xiangwushuo founder and CEO Sun Shuo gave away a well cared for desk, originally worth thousands of RMB, to a neighbor. The desk appeared at a fruit stall near his apartment a few days later. The peddler told Sun he’d found the item at a garbage dump.
