Chapter 181 - Thanks and Apologies

　　Muchen Crowdfunding, the name was decided by Li Mus.h.i.+.

　　“Mu” represents her and Li Mubai. “Chen” was naturally Lu Chen. Lu Chen was the chairman and legal representative of Beijing Muchen Crowdfunding Network Co., Ltd., and Li Mus.h.i.+ was the CEO and CFO.

　　Although Lu Chen held 51% of Muchen Crowdfunding shares, according to the agreement between the two parties, his shares would be diluted sooner or later. The company would introduce venture capital and equity incentives, which didn't rule out the possibility of future listing.

　　Lu Chen had no intention of developing in the IT industry. His eyes were always fixed on the stage under the spotlight.

　　But the success of the crowdfunding was also his success!

　　The first crowdfunding project on the website platform was Lu Chen’s alb.u.m, which was directly related to Lu Chen’s interests. The more successful the crowdfunding website was, the higher the value of his shares!

　　Therefore, Lu Chen was grateful to and admired Li Mus.h.i.+, who established Muchen Crowdfunding.

　　Without this returnee, the young lady of the Li Family, the online operation of the crowdfunding website wouldn't be so smooth, the future would be uncertain, and he would have to invest too much time and energy.

　　Now, it could be said that he could just sit back and wait for the reward to come!^[1]

　　In the past two and a half hours, Lu Chen was still a little excited in retrospect.

　　The promotional post in Inspur blog was released at 8 o'clock in the evening, and the crowdfunding website went online at the same time. In just 190 minutes, the amount of crowdfunding has climbed from 0 to 500,000+. The process was a bit breathtaking!^[2]

　　As of 10:30, the number of registered members on the website has reached 26,820, the first, third and fourth support options were fully filled, 2,000 limited edition commemorative sets were sold out, and the pre-sale volume of the single alb.u.m has reached 13000+!

　　The 500,000 crowdfunding goal was enough to ensure that Lu Chen’s physical alb.u.m achieves a small profit.

　　Originally, he wasn't completely sure about this, but now the fact was that 500000 has just the start, and there was still a lot of room for growth, which represents huge profits!

　　Lu Chen discovered that he underestimated his influence and the potential power of fans!

　　Unknowingly, Lu Chen already has a large number of real die-hard fans, or true fans.

　　Such a discovery made him happier than achieving his crowdfunding goal.

　　As Lu Chen was thinking about this, Li Mus.h.i.+ was looking at him.

　　Originally, Li Mus.h.i.+ was not very interested in Lu Chen and had doubts about the business idea that he proposed.

　　She even suspected that Lu Chen has a motive for getting close to Li Mubai.

　　There was no shortage of people who fawn upon the rich and powerful around the children of the Li family.

　　However, after returning to Beijing, in the process of establis.h.i.+ng Muchen crowdfunding, Li Mus.h.i.+ gradually put aside her prejudices.

　　The Wharton Business College graduate has to admit that Lu Chen provided a brilliant idea, and the friends.h.i.+p between the latter and Li Mubai was sincere, and the two even almost quarreled over the issue of shares.

　　Lu Chen had intended to transfer his controlling rights to Li Mubai, but Li Mubai firmly refused.

　　This made Li Mus.h.i.+ have more favorable impression to Lu Chen. She even found many of the latter's strengths.

　　Needless to say, Lu Chen was tall, handsome, sunny and healthy. It could be seen that he was someone who regularly exercise. He wasn't a pretty boy or a teen idol type, but a very manly type.

　　His talent in music was obvious to all. He not only won the t.i.tle of champion in “Singing China”, but also successfully released his debut alb.u.m and gained a foothold in the entertainment industry.

　　Li Mus.h.i.+ has never paid attention to star artists in the entertainment industry, but Lu Chen gave her the impression that he was mature, reliable, and resolute in character, without the arrogance and impetuosity of young people, and has a different kind of charm.
