Capital International Airport.
A Boeing 747 parked firmly on the tarmac.
This flight CA897 has just flown from New York, USA to Beijing after a 13-hour flight.
In the arrival hall on the first floor of Terminal T1, Lu Chen, Lu Xi, and Li Mubai were standing among the crowd waiting for the airport.
They came to welcome Li Mubai's older sister Li Mushi back home.
After a while, a large number of passengers appeared in the passage ahead, making the entire arrival hall noisy.
"sister!"
Li Mubai found a familiar figure among the passengers and hurriedly waved his hands to greet him.
It was a beautiful woman in her twenties, with phoenix eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, bright eyes and white teeth. She was wearing a new off-white Chanel autumn dress.
From the frequent glances of the passengers around her, it can be seen how outstanding she is.
Li Mushi, Li Mubai's second sister, a graduate of the Wharton School of Business!
Although after a long-distance flight internationally, Li Mushi still looks energetic and not tired at all.
Hearing Li Mubai's greeting, she turned her head with a charming smile on her pretty face.
Dragging a dark blue suitcase, Li Mushi walked out of the gate and quickly came to Lu Chen and the others.
"noob!"
She put down the suitcase, and suddenly stretched out her hands, grabbing Li Mubai's cheeks from left to right like lightning.
She squeezed her younger brother's face hard, and she asked with a smile, "Do you miss your sister very much?"
"It hurts!"
Li Mubai grinned his teeth and didn't dare to struggle, he could only beg vaguely: "I know I was wrong!"
Li Mushi let go of her hand, and asked with a half-smile, "Where did you go wrong?"
Li Mubai rubbed his face with a mournful face, and said, "Sister, let's talk about this matter when we get home. Let me introduce you first. This is my good friend Lu Chen."
"Hello!"
Li Mushi took the initiative to reach out her hand to Lu Chen, and said with a smile, "Nice to meet you!"
In front of Li Mubai, she was a queen-like elder sister, but in front of Lu Chen, she transformed into a capable white-collar elite.
"Welcome home!"
Lu Chen smiled and shook hands with her, while introducing his sister: "This is my sister Lu Xi."
Li Mushi's smile suddenly became extremely charming, and she opened her arms and hugged Lu Xi tightly: "When I was in the United States, I thought about what kind of person you would be, and now I finally meet you, and I am not disappointed!"
She leaned over and kissed Lu Xi on the face.
Lu Xi didn't expect her to be so enthusiastic, so he was taken aback before he realized: "Hello."
The two had made many overseas phone calls before, and discussed the matter of crowdfunding online.
Li Mushi and Lu Xi are the same age and major in the same major, so naturally they have a lot of common topics.
So even though it was the first time we met in person, he was no stranger.
Lu Chen helped carry the suitcase, and everyone left the terminal together.
Li Mubai drove his all-electric Porsche F17 four-door sports car over.
After getting into the car, Li Mushi looked at the interior, and said, "Xiaobai, how many millions did you spend on this sports car? Now that your pocket money is cut off at home, you can't afford it anymore. Let's pay 30% off." Leave it to me."
Although the Porsche F17 is an electric car, the usual maintenance and insurance premiums are still very high. If the paint surface of this luxury sports car is scratched, it will cost more than 100,000 yuan to repaint the whole car.
Li Mushi's teasing really hit Li Mubai's sore spot.
He and Lu Chen partnered to start Crowdfunding Network, and all the funds came from the family, but as a condition, Li Mubai will be self-reliant in the future. If Crowdfunding Network makes a profit, he can get dividends. If it loses money, he will have to drink Northwest Wind!
And this matter is not to be discussed, Li Mubai should not think about it when he gets on the boat.
He said with a bitter face: "The 30% discount is too cruel, sister, if you want it, I will give you 50% off."
After the family cut off the debt, the dignified Li Sanshao really couldn't afford a sports car anymore.
Li Mushi is willing to take it, he is really willing to let go.
It's just that the 30% discount is too bad, basically it's a new car!
Li Mushi said that there is no need to discuss.
Lu Chen, who was sitting in the co-pilot, felt that this pair of siblings was quite interesting.
In Lu Xi's heart, he always felt that Li Mubai's elder sister was a bit weird, but he couldn't say exactly why.
But Li Mushi's character is nothing to say, she doesn't have the slightest squeamishness of a rich girl, she is bright, generous and beautiful.
Talking and laughing all the way, the four of them came to Lu Chen's studio in the Creative Park.
Although the idea of the crowdfunding platform was conceived by Lu Chen, and the registration of the website and application for creative protection were all done in the name of the studio, after cooperating with Li Mubai, Crowdfunding.com will be spun off to form a separate company.
The Li family has so much energy that they actually rented a 500-square-meter office building on the 29th floor of the same building as the headquarters of the new company, which has just started to be renovated.
Li Mushi had just returned to China, she didn't rush home immediately, she proposed to visit the studio and the new company first.
According to the result of joint negotiation between Lu Chen, Li Mubai, Lu Xi and Li Mushi, Lu Chen holds 51% of the shares of Crowdfunding and acts as the legal representative of the company.
Li Mubai invested 5 million yuan in cash, holding 49% of the shares, and served as the company's business manager.
It is equivalent to the Li family's valuation of Zhongchou.com reaching 10 million!
Such a valuation can be said to be very kind, and it fully took into account the friendship between Lu Chen and Li Mubai.
Otherwise, if Lu Chen just provided an idea, it would be impossible to get such a high valuation from any venture capital, and it is even more likely that even a penny of investment would not be worth it.
Moreover, the Li family is also responsible for the application for creative copyright protection.
As a condition of cooperation, Li Mushi will be the first CEO of Zhongchou.com, responsible for the daily operation and management of the website.
For such a result, Lu Chen was actually very satisfied.
His original intention was to use Crowdfunding as a channel platform for his own business. He never thought about investing a lot of time, energy and money in the website to make it bigger and stronger.
So being a hands-off shopkeeper is his best choice.
After looking around for a while and returning to the studio, Li Mushi asked about Lu Chen's album.
Lu Chen's first album will also be the first project of Crowdfunding!
"My album will be available on Fetion Music tomorrow..."
Lu Chen said: "Tomorrow is also the official launch of Crowdfunding. I am still a little confident about my own project. The pre-funding goal is 500,000, and it is mainly crowdfunding for fans."
"It's good that you have confidence!"
Li Mushi nodded, and said: "My elder brother believes in you very much, and I am also optimistic about this crowdfunding platform. I hope that everyone can cooperate happily in the future. Then I will come back tomorrow."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Li Mubai sent Li Mushi home. When parting, Li Mushi held Lu Xi's hand and said a lot.
The siblings returned to the office.
Lu Chen noticed that Lu Xi's expression was different, and asked involuntarily, "Sister, what's the matter?"
Lu Xi smiled wryly: "It's nothing, maybe I'm a bit paranoid, let's pay attention to the situation on the Internet first!"
Lu Chen didn't think too much, turned on the computer and logged into his blog.
In just over a day, his blog fans increased by 300,000, and they were all active fans.
This is the result of promoting hype on the Internet.
Originally, Lu Chen didn't plan to spend much on the promotion of his album "You at the Same Table". On the one hand, there is not much money available in the studio, so every penny should be saved and not used indiscriminately.
On the other hand, the investment in media promotion is a bottomless pit. He currently does not receive announcements and commercial performances. Spending money on this aspect is not very meaningful except to increase the cost of the album. Maybe he will lose money in the end.
Lu Chen's album was first of all for the sake of being strong, using a well-made record to prove his own strength, and at the same time improve his status in the circle, so that he would have sufficient confidence to cooperate with other companies.
Compared with Fetion Music's online sales, Lu Chen paid more attention to the release of CD records.
Crowdfunding was born for CD distribution!
But Choi Jung-ji's provocation succeeded in arousing his anger, or more precisely, his fighting spirit.
They were all slapped in the face, if they don't fight back, what is the reputation in the circle
Therefore, with the help of Chen Jianhao, Lu Chen found an internet marketing company to carry out publicity and promotion.
His action was actually a little late. Originally, network marketing needed time to brew, and it would be on sale tomorrow. It seems a bit improvised to start hype now, and the effect will be much worse.
That network marketing company also said the same thing, but Lu Chen had his own ideas and persistence, and he also provided the other party with two materials for hype.
The first piece of material was the three words "Lai Zhan Pain", which was hyped up as a hot word on the Internet, directly revealing the grievances between him and Cui Zhengzhi, so as to attract the attention of passerby fans.
The second material is the graduation party video that Lu Chen requested from Jianghai University's Propaganda Office.
This video has been around for a long time, but it hasn't been moved before.
He clipped a clip of himself singing at the party and gave it to a marketing company for promotion. The focus was on major forums and post bars to attract the attention of young people, especially student groups.
In today's Internet age, most of the hot events on the Internet have behind-the-scenes promoters. With Lu Chen's own strength and the help of his fans, it is impossible to promote his album on a large scale in a short period of time.
For this reason, the cost of Lu Chen's album more than doubled!
But the effect is really good, whether it is the hot words "come to war pain" or the video post of the graduation party, it is spreading like a virus in blogs, post bars, forums and Feixun groups.
I believe that with the passage of time, the effect of the promotion will become better and better, and finally the sales of the album will be greatly increased!
Of course, this is an ideal state, and the specific results have yet to be tested.
Start tomorrow!
At 7pm on September 8th, Lu Chen's first solo album "You at the Same Table" will be on sale at Fetion Music!
