Chapter 215 – Love In The World
The crowdfunding website was set up by Lu Chen himself, and it originated from the business ideas in the dream world.
Since the establishment of the website, Lu Chen has never thought to vigorously develop in this area. A few days ago, he successfully transferred most of his shares to the Li family, and retired behind the scenes.
Now, Muchen Crowdfunding was really in the hands of Li Mushi. As the founder, Lu Chen took away tens of millions of proceeds and 10% of the original shares. Li Mubai was still a miserable business manager.
Naturally, if one gain something, one will lose something. After selling most of his shares, Lu Chen only has the right to make suggestion on the operation of the crowdfunding website. It was impossible for this rising website to only serve him.
This time, if Lu Chen wanted to conduct charity crowdfunding for Meng Meng through the crowdfunding website, he has to turn to Li Mushi. But, he wasn’t worried that the latter would refuse such a request.
But he has never thought that not only would Lu Mushi promised so readily, but would treat it like a treasure!
“Charity crowdfunding!”
She asked Lu Chen with bright eyes, “How did you come up with such a great idea?”
Lu Chen was speechless.
He simply wanted to help Meng Meng, and never thought of the impact on the crowdfunding website.
However, Lu Chen already understood Li Mushi’s train of thought.
Li Mushi intended to use this charity crowdfunding project for promotion and publicity, and at the same time enhance the popularity and reputation of the crowdfunding website.
In contrast, what was a small percent of commissions?
With her astuteness and the power of the Li family, it was estimated that there would be a lot of hype with the help of the media.
To put it bluntly, as long as it was properly managed, the crowdfunding website was likely to take off with the help of such projects!
At that time, there would be no problem for the valuation to increase by several times.
Lu Chen was only thinking about saving people, while Li Mushi was thinking about commercial interests.
But he didn’t have much aversion with it.
Lu Chen wasn’t an extremely virtuous person1. If hype could save a life, then what does it matter?
In fact, helping others on the premise of obtaining reasonable and legitimate interests was more worthy of support than helping others completely for free!
Li Mushi seemed to see Lu Chen’s thought and said with a smile: “Don’t say that I am cold-blooded and heartless. If this charity crowdfunding project couldn’t reach the goal, I’ll cover all the rest!”
Lu Chen admired: “Elder Sister Mushi is wise!”
Li Mushi’s eyes brightened up: “Then let your sister help me with the operation…”
Lu Chen immediately interrupted her words: “I’ll send you the contents of the charity crowdfunding project when I get back. Goodbye!”
This one really has a wicked mind!
Lu Chen ran away quickly.
“Hehehe…”
Li Mushi looked at his fleeing figure, smiling like a blooming spring flower.
…….
At 7 p.m., Lu Chen posted a new blog post on his blog, Lu Chen FMX.
This was his first blog post after “The Heroes Save The Beauty”.
This blog post has nothing to do with the acid-throwing incident.
The title of the blog post was [As long as everyone gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful world!].
In the blog post, Lu Chen described Meng Meng’s bitter experience and called on everyone to show their love.
Therefore, he set up a charity crowdfunding project on the crowdfunding website, with a fundraising goal of 1 million yuan. One preorder2 was 1 yuan, and the period for the fundraising was 7 days.
Lu Chen wrote that he currently has more than 9.7 million blog fans, and that as long as one-tenth of his fans were willing to donate 1 yuan, that would be enough to save Meng Meng’s life!
Unlike ordinary crowdfunding projects, there was nothing in return for this charitable crowdfunding campaign, and the crowdfunding website would not charge any fees. It would will also send someone to monitor the use of the charity funds, which would be earmarked for special purposes. At that time, the expenditure account would be made public to all donors.
In addition, Lu Chen also said that If the fundraising target wasn’t achieved by the end of the period, he would undertake the rest to ensure that Meng Meng could be treated and continue her life journey.
At the end of the blog post, Lu Chen attached a photo of himself with Meng Meng and the website address of the crowdfunding project!
Due to the impact of the acid-throwing incident, Lu Chen’s popularity in Inspur blog has always been high. The ordinary blog post he posted in Hangzhou the day before yesterday had more than 2 million comments.
These comments were mostly admiration and praise.
Lu Chen’s fame and reputation in the blog could be said to have exploded.
And the number of his blog fans has increased dramatically. It was very close to the 10 million mark.
So, when his new blog post was published, it immediately got a lot of attention.
Many people in the circle who follow Lu Chen quickly reposted it.
These included big names in the circle such as Tan Hong and Chen Fei’er. When Chen Fei’er reposted the blog post, she also posted a screenshot of her preorder, and added a comment “Come on Meng Meng!”.
The number of preorder she made was 50,000. In other words, 50,000 yuan of support.
This sum of money was undoubtedly a very small amount for Chen Fei’er. With her ability, not to mention 1 million, even 10 million could easily be taken out.
But unless it was deliberate hype, most of the star artists would not take care of everything.
In fact, the reason was very simple. Saving a person would very likely attract a group of people to ask for help, and there was no way to tell the true from the false. At that time, there would be endless trouble and even lead to bad reputation.
It might sound incredible, but it was the case, and they had learned their lesson.
Therefore, as a public figure, it was necessary to be careful in showing kindness. If it was a catastrophic event, such as an earthquake, then it was okay to donate more. But for individuals, it must be controlled to a certain extent.
Unless it was a completely private anonymous donation, it was enough to express their intention.
People in the entertainment industry basically understand this point, and some people will teach them if they don’t understand it.
Lu Chen used charity crowdfunding to help Meng Meng, partly because he didn’t have enough money, but mostly because of such general knowledge.
Chen Fei’er preordered 50,000 for the same reason.
Tan Hong also preordered 50,000, which was very face-saving.
Interestingly, Tian Tian, who was certified V as the host of Zhedong Satellite TV, has preordered 30,000.
There was also Flying Stone’s MSN girl group, which also preordered 20,000.
In this kind of charity donation activity, there was an unspoken rule in the circle, that was, the amount of donation was determined by one’s position, and the higher the position, the more the donation.
If one’s position wasn’t high enough, donating more money than a big shot was actually a face-slapping act.
This, together with other star artists in the circle who have relation with Lu Chen or have little relation with him, has actually supported more than 500,000, directly reaching more than half of the fundraising goal requirement!
The most important thing was that after these star artists reposted and supported this charity crowdfunding project, more and more people has paid attention to it, triggering the so-called tidal effect.
The number of users of the crowdfunding website continued to rise, reaching or even exceeding the sum of the previous period in a few hours!
And this was just the beginning.
In just five hours, from the time Lu Chen posted his blog post at 7:00 pm to 12:00 am, the number of preorder in the charity crowdfunding project on the crowdfunding website has exceeded 1 million.
A goal that would have taken seven days to achieve was unexpectedly accomplished in less than half a day!
Lu Chen’s support group official V, related post bar, forums and fan groups were all in full swing.
The hearts of the people were like a tide, and the love was surging!
“Meng Meng is Meng Meng3. I have read her articles. I must support her!”
“Younger Sister Meng Meng has leukemia. Everyone can support her on the crowdfunding website, 1 yuan will doan!”
“I supported 10 yuan, that’s my tomorrow’s breakfast money.”
“The breakfast upstairs actually cost 10 yuan, which is too extravagant. I supported 20 yuan, the cost of a day’s meal! “
“I wanted to change my phone, but I’ll use the old one. It’s more important to save people.”
“Lu Chen said it well too. As long as everyone gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful world!”
“I supported 100 yuan. Come on, Younger Sister Meng Meng!”
“50 yuan!”
More and more people joined the ranks of support, which made the upgraded crowdfunding website experienced a brief lag – the traffic has reached hundreds of times the usual!
Such a situation made Lu Chen, the initiator, dumbfounded.
He underestimated both his influence and the number of good people – there are still many good people in the world.
Lu Chen had to contact Li Mushi to change the original plan.
When the amount of money raised by the project exceeded 1.2 million, the crowdfunding website released an announcement, saying that they would withdraw part of the funds in advance to pay Meng Meng’s medical expenses to help her complete the operation as soon as possible.
For a disease like that of Meng Meng’s, the earlier the time of treatment, the better the effect of postoperative recovery. It couldn’t be delayed.
As for the period of the charity crowdfunding project, it would not be changed. The extra funds will be used to donate to other leukemia patients who are also in urgent need of assistance at the First People’s Hospital of Ningwan City!
At 12:45 that evening, Lu Chen posted another blog post.
In the new blog post, Lu Chen first thanked everyone inside and outside the circle for their support in the charity crowdfunding project, and posted an audio clip of a song that he had composed for the charity event.
The name of the song was “Dedication of Love”.
“This is the call of the heart.
This is a dedication of love!
This is the spring breeze of the world.
This is the source of life.
A desert without a heart.
There is no more wasteland of love.
Death is also prohibitive.
The flowers of happiness bloom everywhere.
Ah ~.
As long as everyone gives a little love.
The world will become a beautiful world.
Ah ~.
As long as everyone gives a little love.
The world will become a beautiful world.
Ah ~.
As long as everyone gives a little love.
The world will become a beautiful world.
……”
The song was played by Lu Chen on the piano without an accompaniment. The singer was Chen Fei’er, and it was not recorded in a professional recording studio. It was a piece of work that was hastily put together
But it was precisely this very roughly produced song that touched countless people, and allowed the charity crowdfunding activity the next day to reached a new peak, and didn’t diminished because it met its goal!
