How Airbnb survived

So when the pandemic occurred, at a basically Jason's survival, we lost 80% of our business in eight weeks. And Joe and I and Nate, we were like, what the hell do we do? And we were like staring at the best.

当大流行爆发时，基本上对杰森生存而言，我们在八周内损失了80%的业务。乔、我和内特，我们都在想，我们该怎么办呢？我们盯着最好的东西看着。

I mean, you might remember, people were making predictions like, is this the end of Airbnb? Will Airbnb exist? And one of the people I was talking to a lot back then was Johnny I. He now works with me.

我的意思是，也许你还记得，以前有人预测“这是Airbnb的末日吗？Airbnb还会存在吗？”当时我经常与之交谈的其中一位人士是Johnny I，他现在已经和我在一起工作了。

But he told me the stories of Steve Jobs going back to Apple. And Johnny I've said, you know, you can cut, but you can't cut your way to the growth. Steve, you have to build product. You need to stay in the product.

他告诉了我关于史蒂夫·乔布斯回到苹果的故事。而乔纳森·艾夫则说，你知道，你可以削减成本，但不能仅仅凭借削减来实现增长。史蒂夫，你必须打造出好的产品，要一直注重产品。
