Meng Meng is an ordinary girl.
Her family background is ordinary, her academic performance is ordinary, her high school is ordinary, and her appearance and height are also ordinary. She belongs to the kind of ordinary that is completely inconspicuous in the crowd.
Of course, all 18-year-old girls have their own interests and hobbies. Meng Meng likes to sing and listen to music, and can even play a few simple songs with a guitar, although her level is also very ordinary.
The most glorious moment of her 18 years of life was when she sang "Edelweiss" at the school's New Year's Day party last year, which won the applause and applause of many students.
Unfortunately, she didn't win the favor of the male god in her mind.
But Meng Meng is not sad, because she knows the distance between dream and reality. She silently likes and never confesses. Just like she likes several singers and idols, but she will not fanatically chase stars and spend money to buy peripheral products.
It's all to swindle money!
She said to herself, if you like a singer, just buy his album, the others are used to swindle fans' money.
Sometimes, Meng Meng also feels incredible for her rationality.
It wasn't until two months ago that she saw a video in the QQ group.
The content of this video is a program clip of a university graduation party. A very handsome boy is on the stage, playing and singing a song called "Those Flowers".
It is this singing video that Meng Meng has watched over and over again dozens of times that let her know Lu Chen!
The girl's heart was suddenly knocked open.
Meng Meng became a fan of Lu Chen.
She searched for information related to Lu Chen on the Internet, learned about the latter's blog, post bar, QQ group, live broadcast room, and also joined Lu Chen's fan support group – Lu Jiajun!
In Lu Jiajun, where more than 80% of the boys are, because she can write some fresh articles and song reviews, and because she is a girl, Meng Meng's ID "Meng Meng" has gained a high popularity.
This makes Meng Meng spend most of her leisure time in Lu Chen's fan circle.
In this virtual big family, she is confident and beautiful!
September 23rd is Wednesday, a very ordinary day.
At 10: 25 in the evening, Meng Meng finally completed all the homework exercises for today.
Although her parents didn't have much expectation for her, Meng Meng herself wanted to be admitted to a second-tier university, so she was still very serious about her usual studies.
She hoped to improve her grades in her last year of high school.
But this did not hinder her love for Lu Chen.
Meng Meng couldn't wait to log into Waves's blog.
Checking her blog every day had become one of her habits. The Lu Jiajun Group on Waves Blog was one of her online homes. She liked to chat about music and Lu Chen's songs with thousands of friends in the discussion area.
In this way, Meng Meng released the pressure from her studies.
Out of habit, the first thing she opened was Lu Chen's personal blog.
LuChen FMX, number of fans: 6720056.
He gained a lot of followers again!
Seeing that the number of fans of the blog had increased by tens of thousands, Meng Meng showed a happy smile.
When Lu Chen's popularity increased, she always had a sense of accomplishment and felt sincerely happy.
In the past, when she saw the brainless fans of a certain star, she always secretly despised them in her heart, but now it seemed that she would soon do the same.
Meng Meng stuck out her tongue and her eyes moved to Lu Chen FMX's latest blog post.
Her eyes suddenly lit up!
The crowdfunding campaign for the album "You Who Sat Next To Me" began!
Meng Meng had long known that this album, which was selling well on QQ Music, was going to be released on CD.
She raised both hands in favor and eagerly looked forward to it.
Although the album downloaded from the website was very cheap and convenient, it didn't have a sense of reality, which made her CD player useless. It was really a huge pity.
Meng Meng, like many music lovers, firmly believed that the sound quality of CDs was better than lossless high-quality audio files.
Now that the long-awaited CD record was about to come out, she was simply excited.
It was just that what made her wonder was what "crowdfunding" was?
After reading the content of the blog post, Meng Meng finally understood that the so-called "crowdfunding" was actually everyone pooling money together!
If the pre-funding goal was reached, then the official CD album would be released. If the goal couldn't be reached …
How could it not be reached!
Meng Meng knew that many Lu Jiajun fans were waiting for this CD album just like herself.
She had to do her part.
Meng Meng clicked on the URL in the blog post and entered the so-called crowdfunding website.
The login speed was very fast. The design of the website was simple and crisp, refreshing, without any annoying pop-up advertisements. The banner area in the middle was the promotional picture of the album "You Who Sat Next To Me". Lu Chen looked very handsome holding a guitar.
According to the website guide, Meng Meng successfully registered a member.
After the account was successfully established, she could choose which way to support Lu Chen's debut album.
There were a total of four choices.
The first lottery choice was directly ignored by Meng Meng. She never believed that this kind of lucky event with a small probability would fall on her head. She didn't even buy a lottery ticket.
The second option was to support 15 yuan in exchange for a genuine record. Meng Meng subconsciously wanted to choose to support.
However, the third and fourth support options made Meng Meng hesitate.
Signed posters, customized USB drives for the support group, key rings, metal plates … She really wanted them!
But buying peripherals was contrary to her previous habits, which made her very confused.
Although the money was not much, and Meng Meng could fully support it, if her classmates and friends knew that she, who had never bought celebrity peripherals, had made an exception, wouldn't that be a bit shameful?
Who cares!
Meng Meng gritted her teeth and manipulated the mouse to click on the fourth support option.
She wanted to buy the 188 yuan package!
But what Meng Meng didn't expect was that as soon as she pressed the mouse, a striking prompt popped up on the screen – [This item is sold out, please forgive me. You can choose other support items!]
What?
Meng Meng suddenly felt like she was struck by lightning. How could it be sold out?
At this time, she noticed that under the support button, there was a display of support number: 1000/1000!
Limited to 1000 sets!
Meng Meng realized that she was late.
Fortunately, the 100 yuan package showed 975/1000, indicating that 25 sets had not been sold.
So, Meng Meng hurriedly clicked on the third option, or it would be too late.
[This item is sold out, please forgive me. You can choose other support items!]
It was still the same prompt!
Meng Meng was stunned. She quickly pressed F5 to refresh the page and found that it was already 1000/1000!
The word "support" above the two buttons had all turned into "sold out" in gray and could no longer be clicked.
Both packages were sold out!
"Ah!"
Meng Meng dropped the mouse and screamed with both hands holding her head.
Her heart was really depressed to the extreme.
There were obviously still some just now, but in the blink of an eye, they were all snatched up!
If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have hesitated just now. Maybe she could have grabbed a set.
This was the limited commemorative edition of Lu Chen's debut album!
The first item, the 15 yuan CD record, had no quota limit, and could be bought at will.
But Meng Meng felt as if she had lost her beloved treasure.
With infinite resentment, she logged into the discussion area of Lu Jiajun Group V and posted about her grievances.
As a result, Meng Meng found that there was more than one person who had the same experience as herself.
Many people were complaining that they didn't get the limited edition package, or that they hesitated and wanted to buy it again, but it was too late.
Some people jumped out and proudly showed off their achievements.
This guy actually opened five accounts and bought five limited edition sets of 188 yuan!
Meng Meng finally knew the reason why she didn't get it, and for the first time, she spat at someone on the Internet.
Then, the other party was drowned in the endless saliva. He was sprayed to the point where he was covered in cuts and bruises, and he quickly disappeared.
Everyone had no choice, so they ran to Lu Chen's blog and strongly demanded that the limited edition support be opened again!
Lu Chen didn't expect such a situation at all.
When Miss Meng complained on the blog, he was on the 29th floor of the same building as his studio, in the headquarters of the crowdfunding network – Beijing Muchen Crowdfunding Network Co., Ltd.!
The newly established company, which was spun off from Lu Chen Studio, occupied an area of 500 square meters. The renovation alone cost more than one million yuan, and it was completed in a rush.
At present, the company has employed nearly 30 employees. Because the crowdfunding network was officially launched in the evening, more than half of the employees were working overtime in the office area to ensure the smooth operation of the website.
And they were fortunate to witness the birth of a business legend!
"The 100 and 188 yuan packages were all sold out in only two and a half hours …"
Miss Li Mushi stood in front of the projection screen and announced to the employees in high spirits, "We have completed the scheduled crowdfunding goal, and our first project has been a complete success!"
A newly established website, a brand-new business model that has not been tested by the market, without any advertising investment, the first operational project was declared a success in just over two hours.
The 500,000 crowdfunding goal has now been broken through, and it is still rising.
Although a 7% commission is not much, which website can make money immediately after its operation?
Most websites have to desperately spend money in the early stages and rely on free services to attract customers.
The crowdfunding network has subverted this conventional model, which is simply an incredible miracle!
Among the employees present were senior insiders who had been poached by headhunters, and they knew very well what this meant!
The future of this company was boundless!
Everyone was very glad that they joined as the first batch of employees, because the company promised that as long as they worked hard and made achievements, any employee could get options as a reward.
If the crowdfunding network went public one day, the employees who owned the shares might become millionaires in one fell swoop!
Such stories are not uncommon in the IT industry.
Everyone couldn't help cheering and clapping their hands one after another!
Li Mushi turned around, extended her hand to Lu Chen, and said with a smile, "Chairman Lu Chen, congratulations!"
Lu Chen shook hands with her and said with a smile, "Same to you!"
