Chapter 255 Lobster’s Resentment
As the scheduled three hours of live broadcast came to an end, Li Menglong could no longer care about communicating with the girls. His eyes were now focused on the amount of rewards in the backend of the website, which was too much.
Li Menglong has his own understanding of the relationship between celebrities and fans. First of all, he believes that there is nothing wrong in principle with fans spending money on idols. After all, girls rely on their own talents to earn this money.
For ordinary people, who doesn’t have a hobby? It’s completely normal to invest in one’s hobbies, such as albums, concerts, and even support gifts.
But at the same time, Li Menglong's idea is that everyone should have a limit between each other. At least you have to understand your own financial resources. Most fans have a good grasp of the balance.
For example, although Yanse just now said that he could only eat one steamed bun in the second half of the month, and although his wallet was completely empty in the second half of the month, he still had friends and parents next door, so he would not starve to death. .
When idols can actually receive gifts from fans, they naturally have to be grateful. After all, there are many ways to like you, and those who directly consume them are the people who like you the most.
So when converted into money, in Li Menglong's mind, there is a limit to the monetary gifts that girls can accept in different activities.
He rioted because he saw a bunch of small students giving away such expensive food on the singing stage. In the same way, he was also uneasy today. He even communicated with the leader of the fans on the opposite side: Can some of it be returned to everyone?
Like the fans who supported the song last time, this Chinese fan club president was really moved by the fact that Girls' Generation had such staff around them, and even pushed the money they got to other countries, simply because it was too much money.
The number of people who went online for today's live broadcast reached 600,000 at one time. These people came through various channels, mainly SNSD's various related groups, post bars, and fans. After all, Li Menglong and the others did not promote it.
So these people are very pure. Since Girls' Generation can think of them and find time to privately give them benefits, naturally they will not let go of some rewards within their ability, and the idea of some wealthy people is that this money can Getting it directly into the hands of girls is simply much better than all other methods.
So when the 600,000 long-cherished people each gave a reward of one dollar, the total reached 600,000, which is nearly 100 million won.
Of course, there are definitely many people who do not reward for various reasons, but in contrast, almost everyone will only reward 1 yuan.
In the end, even if Li Menglong closed the reward channel in advance, the amount was close to 720wrmb and 1.2 billion won. Li Menglong could not accept this amount of money, at least not under his operation.
The fan club president opposite was almost crying. When did they get into a dispute over pushing money to others? "In this way, you give half to a few girls, and the other half is considered to be deposited by us with you. When the time comes, everyone will Just buy them food and support for this kind of activity, that’s our wish!”
"No, the result will be the same. They will not be able to secure the money!" After speaking, Li Menglong simply started discussing with a few people behind the camera.
"This time everyone's reward money was too much. I plan to return at least half of it to everyone!" Li Menglong said seriously.
"Okay! It's still there!" Li Shungui didn't even ask about the amount. She was very open-minded about money, and the other girls did it because of their trust in Li Menglong.
However, the fans gave up. Led by a wave of Korean masters, they all tried to persuade the girls. Yanse also added a few words, but she didn't know if the girls could see it.
His idea is very simple. As long as the money can be used for the girls, it can be used for food or drinks. What will he do when he comes back? I don't know if there will be such an opportunity in the future.
The girls were in a dilemma between Li Menglong and everyone else. Li Menglong and the fan club president opposite were also frozen there.
The president’s statement is: No one wants the money anyway, and we don’t have the function to return it. Should we go there and ask one by one? So the money is here whether you want it or not.
And Li Menglong's temper is no joke, at least when he is serious: "Then I would rather the money rot in China than I want it. Goodbye!"
A good thing turned out to be like this in the end. The girls and fans were a little confused about what to say, but they couldn't get angry.
Fortunately, Yoona is a smart girl. She walked behind the screen and inserted Li Menglong. Yoona's meaning is very simple: This money is too much for us, and you can't get it back.
Then give us half. As for the other half, make it into a fund, or donate it directly. Just treat it as fans of the girls and give back to China.
With Yoona's perfect idea, the girls' first fan live broadcast ended in such a heartwarming way, but things were not over on both sides. The audience heard that the girl only wanted half of the money, and the other half would be used for charity. No one shamelessly stood up and asked for the money back, but everyone's only request was that the money should not be donated indiscriminately, and it would even be better if it could be sent directly to the frontline poor. After all, everyone is still worried about some situations in the country.
The fan club presidents are actually rich second-generation people who have no worries about food and clothing. When I think about what everyone said makes sense, and for the sake of the reputation of the girls, it would be better if they just manage the money. It will become a charity foundation for Girls' Generation. It will donate to wherever it is needed in the country or do some small charity work in daily life.
Lee Mong-ryong also agreed very much, and even made 200 million won as Girls' Generation's first donation, so a nearly 5 million Girls' Generation China Charity Foundation was established.
As the influence of the girl herself and the group expanded, the organization gradually became more formal and more cohesive. Of course, these are all the follow-up.
Li Menglong hadn't expected it to be so far away. He was now looking at the girls discussing what they wanted to eat in the afternoon. Although they were a little tired, they were still happy enough to communicate directly with fans. Moreover, they had made money, so naturally they wanted to go out for a big meal.
Yoona came by car, so a group of people and two cars rushed towards a lobster restaurant. Li Menglong found the restaurant, and the name of the restaurant was indeed xxx lobster, but Li Shunkyu always felt that he agreed too readily.
You must know that even if South Korea is close to the sea, the price of lobsters has always been high. Even if Xu Xian and the others said they were going to eat lobsters, Li Menglong would not let them go. He actually agreed to so many people today. Li Shunkyu was really surprised.
Facts have proved that Li Soonkyu is the person who knows Li Menglong best. A Chinese-style restaurant makes everyone a little confused. After all, lobster seems to be Western food.
However, Li Menglong didn't explain, and they didn't ask. Anyway, don't worry about how to cook it, just lobster. Since Xiao Jingshu hasn't made much money yet, it's rare for her to have a big meal and sharpen her knives.
But in my impression, there were no knives and forks, not even chopsticks, but everyone was given a lot of disposable gloves. Although the last time Crystal ate lobster was a long time ago, she still nuzzled her sister, but it seems that this time she didn’t peel the lobster with her hands!
Then a sweet and spicy smell wafted over first, and then the waiter held an iron basin on his chest, but the lobsters piled on it reached the height of his nose.
Of course it’s not because the lobsters are big, but because there are so many lobsters! Li Menglong put on his own gloves and soaked a lobster in the soup first, then picked it up and looked at it: "Look at the color, look at the ferocious shape of the head, and look at these two pairs of shrimps as big as claws..."
As he spoke, Li Menglong peeled off the shrimp head, sucked it, and threw it away. Then he opened the milky white shrimp meat, which was trembling and very tempting. He took a satisfied bite and liked it very much: "Everything." Eat, I’m afraid you won’t have enough to eat, so I ordered a lot, and the boss may even give me some as a gift.”
Song Qian was the first to take action. After all, there are a lot of these things in Qingdao’s night markets. The lobsters sold all over China are very good. Of course, it is more appropriate to add a small word in front of it. If you add the word spicy, more people will buy it. .
Although all they ate were lobsters, the crayfish thing was really a bit deceptive, but fortunately the taste was really no joke. Several girls grinned in disgust at the spiciness and kept stuffing it into their mouths. .
Li Menglong raised his eyebrows at Li Shungui proudly. The crayfish in this pot was not as expensive as the big lobster in the Western restaurant, and it tasted pretty good.
The group of people had a great time chatting and eating together. As a Chinese, Song Qian has finally established a good relationship with the company's top boss. At least in the future, she can be seen hugging the shoulders of girls at family concerts. .
As for Little Crystal, who gave me a good sister? She was simply the tenth member of Girls’ Generation, and she and Li Menglong didn’t know what it meant to be polite. After hearing the price of this dinner, she regretted it very much. She should She's here for a treat.
Because the TV series that Li Menglong contacted her, The Heirs, has already started airing. Although she is only the third female lead, the popularity of this drama is so high that she has also become quite popular along with it. There are two maknae in the team. The competitive landscape from songs to dramas has truly become evenly matched.
So she always thought about treating Li Menglong to a meal, but she also had to worry about her own wallet, which was very confusing.
At the end of the meal, Li Menglong talked about the issue of dividing the money. After all, everyone has contributed to the success of today's live broadcast, but Song Qian and Xiao Jingjing refused directly. Seriously, they took advantage and let more people know about it. own.
Li Menglong didn't force it, but when it came to the girls, he was rude: "You Yoonas should get at least 10% for your efforts, Kim Taeyeon and Seohyun..."
"Oh, let's forget it. Isn't this time just for Lee Soon Kyu? We just happened to be there!" Kim Taeyeon and several sisters exchanged glances with each other and stepped forward to refuse on behalf of everyone.
