In the era of the surge of the Internet, Nasdaq has created countless myths. Many innovative new Internet companies can easily create a market value of more than a dozen or even billions or tens of billions of dollars by burning money.
Wealthy venture capitalists rushed to the market, waving their checks to make the market hotter and hotter. After promoting the listing of the companies they invested in, they made a lot of money. After selling the shares to ordinary investors at a high price, they proudly wiped their mouths and left.
However, as the Waves receded, it was clear who was swimming naked. The two far-reaching stock disasters have deeply educated shareholders and small and medium investors. The previous set of tricks that worked 100 times a day has long been untenable on Nasdaq.
This has also led to the lower and lower probability of new domestic Internet companies going public in the United States, and they can only seek to survive in Hong Kong or the Mainland Growth Enterprise Market.
In such a realistic context, the completion of the IPO of the online crowdfunding on Nasdaq, and the share price rose by nearly 100% on the first day. In the eyes of many people in the industry, it is really a small miracle!
As a star shareholder and founder of the online crowdfunding, Lu Chen has undoubtedly received too much attention, so that many people have ignored the real promoter and contributor to the listing of the online crowdfunding on Nasdaq.
On December 2, the online crowdfunding stock price continued to rise, breaking through US $50, and the market value of Lu Chen's shares really exceeded US $400 million and went straight to US $500 million!
The news from the other side of the ocean was passed back to China, and the enthusiasm of public opinion increased.
China Financial News, which can be called the flagship level in the domestic financial and economic circle, analyzed the successful experience of the online crowdfunding on its front page headlines, believing that the innovative Internet model still has great potential. Although the main market is divided by several Internet giants, small and medium enterprises still have the possibility of breaking out of the encirclement.
Compared with those less professional media, China Financial News has undoubtedly paid more attention to Li Mushi, the head of the online crowdfunding, than to Lu Chen, and has praised the young CEO.
But in the same way, China Financial News has also affirmed Lu Chen's genius mind.
Unlike the professional media, ordinary media and the vast number of netizens are staring at Lu Chen. While praising and envying him, there have also been some discordant comments on the blog network.
Some people said that Lu Chen has now easily earned two or three billion. Should he take out some money to do good things?
As a result, he was immediately scolded by others!
Among the celebrities in the domestic entertainment industry, there weren't many that could surpass Lu Chen in terms of donations.
The "Chen Fei Charity Fund" founded by Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er had been established for almost two years. The fund's assets had increased from the original tens of millions to the current 300 million, 70% of which came from Lu Chen's personal donation, 20% from Chen Fei' er, and the remaining 10% from their friends in the circle.
In other words, although Chen Fei Charity Fund was a public charity fund, it had never solicited donations from the public. Most of the money came from Lu Chen's own pocket!
Most importantly, Lu Chen had only made his debut three years ago. He had taken out so much money, all of which was earned through his own hard work. In terms of his attitude towards charity, who could compare?
Now, some people actually think that Lu Chen should take out more money. It's ridiculous!
In this world, there are many people who "hate the rich", but in fact, most of the "hate the rich" hate those who are rich and heartless, not those who rely on hard work and talent to get rich.
Therefore, this kind of provocation, which is obviously malicious, has no market on the Internet. Even if there are some water armies jumping up and down, they were quickly scolded away by the saliva of Lu Chen's fans.
Some people also expressed regret, because the crowdfunding website was founded by Lu Chen. Now that it is listed on NASDAQ, he only holds 10% of the shares, a bit of a feeling of making wedding clothes for others.
This kind of statement has a bit of a market among the netizens who pay attention to this matter, including Lu Chen's fans. Think about it. If Lu Chen hadn't sold so many shares and now held 50%, it would be more than 10 billion!
He suffered a loss, he suffered a big loss!
But people who really understand the creation, development, and listing process of the crowdfunding website, as well as many people in the industry, scoff at this completely amateur statement.
In the development of the Internet, it is normal for the shares held by the founders to be diluted continuously, and it is also an essential process on the road to listing. If Lu Chen really holds 50% or more of the crowdfunding shares, then it would be impossible for the crowdfunding website to have a successful IPO.
Most importantly, the core of Lu Chen's career has always been in the entertainment industry. When he established the crowdfunding website, it was more of a playful investment nature. It is already commendable to retain 10% of the shares.
Therefore, Lu Chen did not suffer a loss at all. It should be said that his original investment has received a hundredfold return!
Public opinion was turbulent, and Lu Chen was once again pushed to the forefront of the storm.
Lu Chen, on the other hand, has remained silent about this. He did not even update his own blog. He declined interviews from many heavyweight media and spent all his time on work.
The shooting of "You from the Star" was officially completed. The post-production, dubbing, soundtrack, and other work had made him so busy that he couldn't breathe. How could he care about the right and wrong of the outside world?
It was not a good thing to be in the limelight too much, and it was necessary to cool it down appropriately.
However, what he didn't expect was that an American media rushed to join in the fun at this time.
On December 4, the United States' "Time" magazine launched its latest issue, and the cover was impressively Lu Chen!
It once again caused a sensation in China!
This was the first time that this famous magazine, which has a wide influence in the world, published a photo of a Chinese star on the cover.
In the past, four star artists in China, including Hong Kong and Taiwan, have appeared on the cover of "Time" magazine, but without exception, they were on the cover of the Asian edition.
Therefore, Lu Chen was the first to receive such treatment!
In the cover introduction of "Time", the world-renowned magazine praised Lu Chen's talents and achievements in Chinese pop music, film and television, reviewed the incident of the UD725 flight that caused a sensation in the United States, and even specifically mentioned Lu Chen's song "lether go". Then, it elaborated on Lu Chen's relationship with the crowdfunding website that has just been listed on NASDAQ, and talked about Lu Chen's contribution to charity.
At the end of the article, the editor of "Time" called Lu Chen "an outstanding representative of the younger generation of Asia" and "a leading figure of the new generation of the Chinese entertainment industry"!
