Chapter 180: The Birth of a Business Legend!
Meng Meng is an ordinary girl.
Her family background is ordinary, her academic performance is ordinary, her high school is ordinary, her appearance and height are also ordinary, and she belongs to the kind of ordinary that is completely inconspicuous in the crowd.
Of course, the 18-year-old girl has her 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 the level is also very ordinary.
The most glorious moment of her eighteen years of life was when she played and sang a song "Edelweiss" at the school's New Year's Day party last year, which won the applause and applause of many classmates.
It's a pity that he didn't win the favor of the male theologian in his mind.
But Meng Meng is not sad, because she knows the distance between dreams and reality, and she likes to never confess silently, just like she likes several singers and idols, but she will not fanatically chase stars and spend money to buy any peripheral products.
It's all about scamming money!
She said to herself that if she likes a singer, she should buy his album, and everything else is used to cheat fans out of money.
Sometimes, Meng Meng also felt incredible for his rationality.
It wasn't until two months ago that she saw a video in the Feixun group.
The content of this video is an excerpt from a college graduation party, in which a very handsome boy plays and sings a song called "Those Flowers" on stage.
It was this singing video that Meng Meng watched dozens of times over and over again that made her meet Lu Chen!
The girl's heart was suddenly slammed open.
Meng Meng became a fan of Lu Chen.
She searched for information related to Lu Chen on the Internet, and learned about the latter's blog, post bar, Feixun group, and live broadcast room, and also joined Lu Chen's fan support group - Lu Jiajun!
In Lu Jiajun, where boys account for more than 80%, because he can write some fresh essays and song reviews, plus he is a girl, Meng Meng's ID "Mengmeng" has actually gained a lot of popularity.
This allowed Meng Meng to spend most of his leisure time. are all used in Lu Chen's fandom.
In this virtual family, she is confident and beautiful!
September 23rd is a Wednesday, a very ordinary day.
At 10:25 p.m., Meng Meng finally completed all the homework exercises for today.
The third year of high school is already very heavy, although her parents don't have much expectations for her, but Meng Meng wants to be admitted to a second-class university. Therefore, she is still very serious about her usual studies.
She hopes to improve her academic performance in her final year of high school.
But this does not prevent her from liking Lu Chen.
Putting away the homework book and test papers, Meng Meng couldn't wait to log on to the Inspur blog.
Brushing blogs every day has become one of her habits, and the Lu Family Legion V of Inspur Blog is one of her online homes, and she likes to chat with thousands of friends about music and Lu Chen's songs in the discussion forum.
In this way, Meng Meng released the pressure from his studies very well.
According to habit, the first thing she clicked on was Lu Chen's personal blog.
Lu Chen FMX, number of fans: 6720056.
It's a lot of powder!
The number of followers who saw the blog went up by tens of thousands. Meng Meng smiled with joy.
When Lu Chen's popularity grows, she always has a sense of accomplishment and feels sincerely happy.
In the past, when she saw the brainless fans of a certain star, she always secretly despised it in her heart, but now she seems to be about to do it.
Meng Meng stuck out his tongue and moved his gaze to Lu Chen's latest blog post on FMX.
Her eyes lit up!
The crowdfunding campaign for the album "You at the Same Table" has begun!
Regarding the fact that this album, which is a big seller on Feixun Music Network, will be released on CD, Meng Meng has long known.
She raised her hands in favor and looked forward to it.
The albums downloaded from the website are of course cheap and convenient. But there is no sense of realism, so her CD player is useless. It's a huge pity.
Meng Meng, like many music lovers, firmly believes that the sound quality of CDs is better than lossless and high-quality audio files.
Now she was thrilled to see that the long-awaited CD was about to come out.
It's just that what makes her wonder is, what is "crowdfunding"?
After reading the content of the blog post, Meng Meng finally understood, it turned out that the so-called "crowdfunding" is everyone's pooling of money!
If the pre-fundraising goal is reached, the official CD album will be released. If you don't reach your goal
How could it not be reached!
Meng Meng knows that there are many, many Lu Jiajun fans who are waiting for this CD album to come out like him.
She's definitely going to do her part.
Meng Meng clicked on the URL in the blog post and entered the so-called crowdfunding network.
The landing speed is fast, the design of the website is simple and crisp, and it is refreshing and refreshing without any nasty pop-up ads. The banner area in the middle is the promotional picture of the album "You at the Same Table", and Lu Chen looks very handsome holding the guitar.
According to the website guide, Meng Meng successfully registered a membership.
After the account is successfully established, she can choose which way to support Lu Chen's first record.
There are 4 choices in total.
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, and she never even bought a lottery ticket.
The second choice is to support 15 yuan in exchange for a genuine record, and Meng Meng subconsciously wanted to choose to support.
But the third and fourth support options made Meng Meng hesitate.
She really wants signed posters, customized USB flash drives, keychains, and metal plates!
But buying peripherals violated her previous habits and made her very entangled.
Although there is not much money, Meng Meng can fully support it, but if her classmates and friends know that she, who has never bought celebrity peripheral products, has made an exception, is it a bit faceless?
Whatever!
Meng Meng gritted his teeth and clicked on the fourth support item.
She's going to buy a package for 188 yuan!
But what Meng Meng didn't expect at all was that as soon as her mouse was pressed, a striking prompt popped up on the screen - [This item is sold out, please forgive me, you can choose other support items!]
What the?
Meng Meng suddenly felt like he was struck by lightning, why was he sold out?
At this time, she noticed that below the support button, there was a display of support numbers: 1000/1000!
Limited edition of 1000 sets!
Only then did Meng Meng come to his senses. She was late.
Fortunately, the 100 yuan package above shows 975/1000, indicating that 25 sets have not been sold.
So Meng Meng hurriedly ordered the third option, otherwise it would be too late.
[Please forgive me for this item being sold out, you can choose other support items!]
It's the same tip!
Meng Meng was stunned, and quickly pressed F5 to refresh the page, only to find that it was already 1000/1000!
The word "Support" on both buttons has been grayed out as "Sold Out". It can no longer be clicked.
Both courses are sold out!
"Ahh
Meng Meng dropped the mouse, held his head with both hands and shouted.
She was really depressed to the extreme.
Obviously, there was still everything just now, but in the blink of an eye, everyone robbed it up!
I knew that she didn't hesitate just now, maybe she could grab a set.
This is a limited commemorative edition of Lu Chen's first album!
The first 15 yuan CD record, however, does not have any quota limit, you can buy it as you like.
But Meng Meng felt as if he had lost his beloved treasure.
With infinite resentment, she landed on the discussion forum of the Lu Family Legion V and posted to express her grievances.
As a result, Meng Meng found that there was more than one person who had the same experience as him.
A lot of people are complaining about not grabbing the limited edition package. Or maybe it's too late to buy it again.
Someone jumped out and triumphantly flaunted their achievements.
This guy actually opened 5 accounts and bought 5 sets of 188 limited editions!
Meng Meng finally knew the reason why he didn't grab it, and for the first time, he sprayed at someone on the Internet.
Then the other party was drowned in countless saliva, sprayed to the ground, and 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!
Such a situation was something that Lu Chen did not expect at all.
When Miss Meng complained on her blog. He is 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 formed company was spun off from Lu Chen's studio. It occupies an area of 500 square meters, and the decoration alone cost more than 1 million, and it was completed in a hurry.
At present, the company has hired nearly 30 employees, and due to the official launch of the crowdfunding network in the evening, more than half of the employees are working overtime in the office area to ensure the smooth operation of the website.
And they had the privilege of witnessing the birth of a business legend firsthand!
"The packages of 100 and 188 were all sold out. It only took two and a half hours."
Standing in front of the projection screen, Ms. Li 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 completely 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 crowdfunding target of 500,000 has been broken through so far and is still rising.
Although a 7% commission is not much, is there any website that can make money right away from its operation?
The vast majority of websites are desperately trying to spend money in the early stage, and they all rely on free to attract customers.
Crowdfunding networks have subverted this conventional model, and it's an incredible miracle!
Among the employees present were senior industry insiders who had been poached by headhunters, and they knew very well what this meant!
The future of this company is limitless!
Everyone was very glad that they joined as the first employees, because the company promised that as long as the hard work made the performance, then any employee could get an option reward.
If crowdfunding goes public one day, employees who own equity may become millionaires in one fell swoop!
Such stories are not uncommon in the IT industry.
Everyone couldn't help but cheer and clapped their palms one after another!
Li Mushi turned around, stretched out 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: "Tongxi!"
The first update is sent, asking for monthly ticket support!!! (to be continued.) )
