This week, two unicorns related to real estate and the sharing economy have made new moves: one has received life-saving money, and one has lost life-saving money.

One of them is Airbnb in the shared travel and accommodation industry, which received a $ 1 billion investment from Silver Lake Capital and Sixth Street Opartners in a combination of claims and equity.

The other is the shared office giant WeWork, which said this week that it would sue Softbank because Softbank had previously promised to bid $ 3 billion to acquire WeWork’s equity, but now it has withdrawn this invitation. WeWork may become the first unicorn to die in this epidemic.

In this episode, we will discuss what this incident means for the two companies, and then think about a question: Will the “sharing economy” be revisited because of the epidemic situation?
