Meng Meng is an ordinary girl.
Her family background is average, her academic performance is average, her high school is average, her appearance and height are also average, she belongs to the kind of ordinary that is completely inconspicuous among the crowd.
Of course, 18-year-old girls all have their own interests and hobbies. Meng Meng likes to sing and listen to music. She can even play a few simple songs with her guitar, although her level is also very ordinary.
The most glorious moment in her eighteen years of life was playing and singing "Edelweiss" at the school's New Year's Eve party last year, which won the applause and applause of many students.
It's a pity that he didn't win the favor of the male god senior in his mind.
But Meng Meng is not sad, because she knows the distance between dreams and reality, she likes silently and never confesses, just like she likes several singer idols, but she doesn't go crazy about star chasing and spend money on peripheral products.
It's all a scam!
She said to herself, if you like a singer, just buy his album, and everything else is used to cheat fans out of money.
Sometimes, Meng Meng also feels incredible for her rationality.
Until two months ago, she saw a video in the Feixun group.
The content of this video is a program clip of a university graduation party. A handsome boy is playing and singing a song called "Those Flowers" on the stage.
It was this singing video that Meng Meng watched dozens of times over and over again that made her know Lu Chen!
The girl's heart was suddenly smashed open.
Meng Meng became Lu Chen's fan.
She searched for information related to Lu Chen on the Internet, learned about the latter's blog, post bar, Feixun group, and live broadcast room, and even joined Lu Chen's fan support group - Lu Jiajun!
In the Lu Family Army where more than 80% of the boys are boys, Meng Meng's ID "Mengmeng" has gained a lot of popularity because she can write some fresh articles and song reviews, and because she is a girl.
This made Meng Meng spend most of her free time in Lu Chen's fan circle.
In this big virtual family, she is confident and beautiful!
September 23rd is Wednesday, a very ordinary day.
At 10:25 in the evening, Meng Meng finally finished all of today's homework exercises.
The studies in the third year of high school are already very heavy. Although her parents don't have high expectations for her, Meng Meng herself wants to get into a second-year university, so 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 didn't stop her from loving Lu Chen.
Putting away her homework and test papers, Meng Meng couldn't wait to log on to the Inspur blog.
Reading blogs every day has become one of her living habits. Lujiajuntuan V of Inspur Blog is one of her online homes. She likes to chat with thousands of friends about music and Lu Chen's songs in the discussion forum.
In this way, Meng Meng relieved her academic pressure well.
According to her habit, the first thing she clicked on was Lu Chen's personal blog.
Lu Chen FMX, number of fans: 6720056.
A lot of fans have risen again!
Seeing that the number of fans of the blog has increased by tens of thousands, Meng Meng smiled happily.
When Lu Chen's popularity grows, she always feels a sense of accomplishment and feels genuinely happy.
In the past, when she saw a fan of a certain celebrity, she always secretly despised her in her heart, but now she seemed to be on the verge of it too.
Meng Meng stuck out her tongue and shifted her gaze to Lu Chen's latest blog post from FMX.
Her eyes suddenly lit up!
"You at the same table" album crowdfunding campaign has started!
Meng Meng already knew about the fact that this album, which was a hit on Feixun Music.com, would be released on CD.
She was all for it, and was eagerly looking forward to it.
Although the albums downloaded from the website are very cheap and convenient, they have no sense of reality, and it is a great pity that her CD player is useless.
Meng Meng, like many music lovers, firmly believes that the sound quality of CDs is better than lossless high-quality audio files.
Now that the long-awaited CD is coming out, she is really excited.
What made her wonder was, what is "crowdfunding"
After reading the content of the blog post, Meng Meng finally understood. It turns out that the so-called "crowdfunding" means everyone pooling money!
If the pre-preparation goal is reached, then the official CD album will be released, if the goal is not reached...
How could it not be achieved!
Meng Meng knew that many, many Lu Jiajun fans were waiting for the release of this CD album just like herself.
She definitely has to do her part.
Meng Meng clicked on the URL in the blog post and entered the so-called crowdfunding network.
The login speed is very fast, the design of the website is simple and clear, and there are no annoying pop-up advertisements. The banner area in the middle is the promotional picture of the "You at the Same Table" album. Lu Chen looks very handsome holding a guitar.
According to the website guide, Meng Meng successfully registered a member.
After the account is successfully created, she can choose which method to use to support Lu Chen's first record.
There are 4 choices in total.
The first lottery selection was directly ignored by Meng Meng. She never believed that such a 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 wants to choose to support it.
But the third and fourth support options later made Meng Meng hesitate.
Signed posters, U disks customized by the support team, key chains, metal plaques... She really wants it too!
But buying peripherals violated her previous habits, which made her very entangled.
Although the money is not much, 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, wouldn't it be a bit embarrassing
who cares!
Meng Meng gritted her teeth, and manipulated the mouse to click on the fourth support item.
She wants to buy a package of 188 yuan!
But what Meng Meng didn't expect at all 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 struck by lightning, why did it sell out
At this time, she noticed that under the support button, there was a display of support numbers: 1000/1000!
Limited to 1000 sets!
Only then did Meng Meng realize that she was late.
Fortunately, the 100 yuan package above shows 975/1000, indicating that 25 sets have not been sold.
So Meng Meng quickly clicked on the third option, otherwise it would be too late.
[Please forgive me that this item is sold out, you can choose other support items!]
Still the same prompt!
Meng Meng was stunned, and quickly pressed F5 to refresh the page, only to find that it was already 1000/1000!
The words "Support" above the two buttons have all turned into "Sold Out" gray words, and they can no longer be clicked.
Both sets are sold out!
"what!"
Meng Meng dropped the mouse, put her hands on her head and yelled.
She was really depressed to the extreme.
Even though there were still some just now, they were all snatched up in the blink of an eye!
If I had known she would not have hesitated just now, maybe I could have snatched a set.
This is the limited commemorative edition of Lu Chen's first album!
The first 15 yuan CD record has no quota limit, you can buy it as you like.
But Meng Meng felt as if she had lost her beloved treasure.
With infinite resentment, she logged into the discussion area of Lujiajun V, and posted a post to express her grievances.
As a result, Meng Meng discovered that there were more than one person who had the same experience as herself.
Many people are complaining about not grabbing the limited edition package, or hesitating, and it will be too late to buy again.
Some people jumped out to show off their achievements triumphantly.
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 it was the first time he spat at someone on the Internet.
Then the other party was overwhelmed by countless saliva, was sprayed to pieces, and quickly disappeared.
Everyone had no choice, so they ran to Lu Chen's blog one after another, strongly requesting that the limited edition support be released again!
Such a situation was never expected by Lu Chen.
When Ms. Meng complained on her blog, he was on the 29th floor of the same building as her studio, at the headquarters of Crowdfunding Network—Jingcheng Muchen Crowdfunding Network Co., Ltd.!
This newly established company spun off from Lu Chen's studio occupies an area of 500 square meters. The decoration alone cost more than 1 million, and it was completed in a hurry.
At present, the company has hired nearly 30 employees. Since the crowdfunding website is officially launched at night, more than half of the employees are 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 packages of 100 and 188 were all sold out, and it only took two and a half hours..."
Ms. Li Mushi Li stood in front of the projection screen and announced to the employees in high spirits: "We have completed the planned crowdfunding goal, and our first project has achieved a complete success!"
A newly established website, a new business model that has not been tested in the market, without any advertising investment, the first operation project was declared a success in just over two hours.
The crowdfunding goal of 500,000 has been broken through so far, and it is still rising.
Although 7% commission is not much, is there any website that can make money immediately after it is launched
Most of the websites have to spend money desperately in the early stage, and they all rely on free to attract customers.
Crowdfunding has subverted this conventional model, which is simply an incredible miracle!
Among the employees present were senior professionals who had been poached by headhunters, and they knew very well what this meant!
This company has a bright future!
Everyone is very glad that they joined as the first batch of employees, because the company promised that as long as they work hard and make achievements, any employee can get stock option rewards.
If one day Crowdfunding is listed on the Internet, 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 cheered and clapped their palms!
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, "Congratulations!"
