A college student named Xiao Wang opened the first unsupervised (无人看管的) flower shop in Beijing, and it has been very popular among young people.
Unlike traditional flower shops in the capital, people can only choose flowers themselves and use WeChat Pay (微信支付) and Alipay (支付宝) to pay in Wang's shop.
As a lover of fiction, Wang said he started his business because it wouldn't take up his time. "People can go to my flower shop at any time. " he explained. "When I have to serve customers (顾客), I won't have time to read any books. So I opened the self-service flower shop after doing market research. "
"Most young people like shopping in a free environment, " Wang continued, "and they hate shopping advice from the workers. People can know information about different kinds of flowers by looking through their mobile phones. "
Even though there is no shopkeeper, the flower shop has become very popular and successful, at least for now. Although he doesn't sell flowers in the shop himself, Wang usually visits it at a certain time every day. "I trust everyone. " said Wang, "and it won't be a big deal even if a burglary (盗窃) takes place. "
