Ex-Minister of Economy of Buryatia spoke about the peculiarities of the “lazy economy” in China

Former Minister of Economy of Buryatia Tatiana Dumnova spoke about the so-called “lazy economy” that is gaining momentum in China – services where any boring or unpleasant task will be performed for a small fee for a client. She wrote about it in her social networks.

According to her, we are talking about a whole range of services: “professional lazy” go shopping for customers, cook food, spend time with elderly relatives and even listen to their lectures. Dumnova even emphasized the possibility of hiring a person who argues instead of the customer – for example, will come and speak to the manager because of a leaky tap, while the client calmly drinks tea.

Prices for such services, the author notes, remain relatively low: for example, standing in line costs from 120 rubles, which is cheaper than coffee with yourself. Going to a boring meeting or settling a conflict will cost more, but, as Dumnova ironically puts it, nerves are still more expensive.

The former minister suggested that services such as “fight with my boss” or “explain to Grandma how to use MAX” could soon appear. In conclusion, she asked readers what they were ready to delegate, and admitted that she would give a trip to the clinic with a seat in line to the doctor, a conversation with a plumber and a couple of things that are constantly postponed.
