CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Chapter 252 The Name of the Richest Man Spreads Far and Wide
Lu Yiming ended his live stream that evening.

The event's ranking on trending searches has been gradually improving.

The current trending topic can rise or fall in popularity, but it cannot be removed.

With the involvement of multiple mysterious forces.

It eventually climbed to third place on the trending topics list before 10 p.m.

As its popularity continues to rise.

The topic has successfully broken out of its niche.

Even the question of whether Lu Yiming was wrong.

This sparked widespread discussion.

Compared to the overwhelming condemnation of Lu Yiming on Weibo.

The situation is different here on another platform.

According to my country's "Public Security Administration Punishment Law" and "Criminal Law", those who participate in gambling with a large amount of money shall be detained for up to five days or fined up to 500 yuan.

In serious cases, the offender shall be detained for not less than ten days but not more than fifteen days and fined not less than five hundred yuan but not more than three thousand yuan.

Anyone who organizes gambling for profit or engages in gambling as a profession shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, or public surveillance, and shall also be fined.

In conclusion...

I don't think Mr. Lu did anything wrong.

Participating in online gambling.

Whether you make a profit or a loss.

Just bear it quietly by yourself.

You come out to gain sympathy after losing money? Do you really think you're right?
This is a post on Zhihu that strongly supports Lu Yiming.

The visit lasted less than half an hour.

The number of likes exceeded 10,000.

It garnered thousands of comments.

I couldn't agree more! I really don't know if those trolls next door who criticize President Lu are thinking with their asses; they're blaming President Lu for all this.

Well, I feel like it's mostly resentment towards the rich over there; they all wish President Lu were dead!

[This has nothing to do with wealth or poverty; I think President Lu did nothing wrong! Why are so many people criticizing him? Are there paid trolls involved?]

[To be honest! I originally thought this trending topic would be taken down by 6 PM at the latest, after all, CEO Lu isn't some small-time streamer. I didn't expect it to stay on the trending list and even get more popular. Doesn't CEO Lu have any PR backing? This shouldn't be happening!]

I've read the original post. The story is indeed very moving, but that can't mask the fact that this person has problematic values.

[Is it just this one person? I have a feeling that those people next door who are criticizing President Lu are probably the ones with problems!]

All I can say is you'll get used to it.

【.】

It is already midnight.

The trending topics mechanism updates every ten minutes.

If it's about spending money to buy popularity.

At most, it'll only be one day.

However, this trending topic showed no signs of going down by 10 a.m.

Even at noon.

There are signs that it is climbing from third to second.

The difference in popularity between the two.

Only tens of thousands.

"Mr. Lu~ Aren't you going to take this trending topic down? Just let me know if you need any help!"

noon.

Lu Yiming received a call from Lu Zhen, CEO of Perfect World Group.

This is Lu Yiming's time from this morning until now.

I've lost count of how many calls I've received.

Everyone was asking why Lu Yiming wasn't removed from the trending topics list.

He then asked Lu Yiming if he needed any help.

Just like the previous few phone calls, Lu Yiming politely declined Lu Zhen's offer of help and hung up after thanking him.

In fact, Cao Siyun's side has already begun their public relations plan.

The first step is to debunk the rumors.

The article mentions that the gambling website used by the person involved in the trending topic was not among their "achievements," meaning that either the website or the person involved is definitely lying.

Evidence was also presented in the clarification.

All "achievements" will be updated on the Fish Bar.

However, among these achievements...

The website shown in the screenshot does not exist.

This was quickly confirmed by many netizens.

The clarification was made using the official account of Lu Yiming's live streaming studio.

The comments below the post were very interesting.

[Hilarious! It turns out it had nothing to do with President Lu at all!]

[I knew it! Even with his closest relatives gone, he still had time to edit a 10,000-word post.]

[Upstairs! I remember your ID! Didn't you criticize President Lu quite fiercely yesterday? How come you're saying you already knew all along?]

[Haha~ Just another bandwagoner!]

[Upstairs! I looked at your repost, and it seems you're also a hater of President Lu!]

【.】

The situation took a turn.

Weibo users have begun to regroup and form new factions.

of course.

There are also stubborn people.

[Who knows if you're hiding it from us? Besides, we wouldn't even notice if you deleted one, right?]

Even if it's true, it was still your decision, Mr. Lu, that led to the website's decision to shut down, right? Otherwise, why would it send that kind of text message to the victim?

Yes! Yes! The person's family members have all passed away! What's the point of your denial? Just honestly take responsibility for your actions!

【.】

have to say.

Some of the comments are quite infuriating.

Fortunately, Lu Yiming was also smart.

I only download Weibo when I need it.

Uninstall it when you don't need it.

The clarification was issued at 1 p.m.

Until Lu Yiming started broadcasting.

The initial results of debunking the rumors are just beginning to show.

At least now the live stream no longer needs to restrict the level of the chat messages.

The moment the broadcast started.

During the interactive session, Lu Yiming reiterated his stance.

He also gave a new response to the incident that made him a trending topic yesterday.

"I thought about it seriously last night and realized that there were indeed areas where I fell short."

Talk about this.

Lu Yiming's fans were taken aback.

They thought Lu Yiming wanted to back down.

But at this moment, Lu Yiming continued, "It was wrong of me to only target the gambling websites that interfered with the campus tournament! I have decided to spend money to build a team specifically to target gambling websites, and to work hard to crack down on all online gambling websites in China, both domestic and foreign. I hope to contribute my personal strength to the cause of banning gambling!"

The words fell.

The number of comments dropped by more than 95% in an instant.

The viewers were all shocked by Lu Yiming's decision.

At this moment, Lu Yiming held up one finger and continued, "Furthermore! I will also set aside 100 million yuan as a reward for those who provide clues about online gambling websites! 100 million yuan every year! You can refer to our previous paid rewards!"

In fact.

The online gambling site is similar to a certain gambling website.

It belongs to the kind of organization where one is defeated and several others are established.

They simply can't defeat them.

It can be said to be a case of inflicting eight hundred damages on the enemy while losing a thousand of your own.

Lu Yiming's actions are tantamount to throwing money into the sea.

Its effect is very limited.

But this is also the attitude he has given.

It's just a small goal.

It's nothing to Lu Yiming right now.

It's currently ranked second on the trending topics list.

After Lu Yiming expressed his attitude in the live broadcast room.

The headline, "Shark Platform CEO Lu Makes Decision in Live Broadcast! 100 Million Yuan to Ban Gambling Every Year!" quickly became a trending topic.

Online trolls also adapt their tactics to different audiences.

They don't dare to be too reckless about certain political issues.

This led to Lu Yiming starting from this moment.

They have seized the high ground in public opinion.

Why was Lu Yiming so widely criticized on Weibo yesterday?
The main reason is that his decision caused some people to lose their loved ones.

In addition, the story is very moving.

You should know that someone once wrote a novel in which the female protagonist empathized with the male protagonist who was a casual reader.

It's one thing to empathize with someone in a novel.

The most absurd thing is that some novel readers actually agree with this. The midday clarification, coupled with these remarks before the broadcast, successfully silenced most people.

However, that alone is certainly not enough.

In this public relations plan that Cao Siyun prepared for Lu Yiming.

This is just the first step.

The ultimate goal is to completely exonerate Lu Yiming from these inappropriate accusations and to increase his influence beyond his immediate circle through this incident.

Four p.m.

The China Charity Foundation posted a message on its Weibo account.

The message expressed gratitude to Lu Yiming for his contributions to charity.

And statistics were compiled for the entire previous year.

Lu Yiming has achieved three small goals in his philanthropic endeavors.

It was also stated that...

Before this news was published today, we had surpassed ten small goals!

After the news was released.

It immediately went viral and became a trending topic.

Currently, five of the top twenty trending topics are related to Lu Yiming.

soon.

Lu Yiming, who was live streaming, saw someone asking a question in the chat.

He immediately admitted it in the live broadcast room.

He proudly stated that this was merely a personal charitable expenditure and did not include the charitable efforts of his personal companies.

Regarding charity.

Lu Yiming neither kept it a secret nor talked about it all the time.

These are seemingly contradictory ideas.

But for Lu Yiming, this was his true thought.

Anyway, just ask him and he'll admit it, and then he can brag about it.

He wasn't bothered by not asking, since it was something he felt he could do.

That's right!

Yes, it's something you can do.

Rather than something you have to do.

Just like how he receives at least hundreds of private messages every day from people asking him for money under various pretexts.

He ignored these things.

The main problem is that I don't have the energy to distinguish between real and fake.

However, he would proactively seek out areas where he could provide financial assistance, either through recommendations from his fellow netizens or by having Cao Siyun collect information from others.

Then I used my personal charitable foundation team to handle it.

Wow! Mr. Lu, you're so low-key! You've done so much and kept it all a secret!

Holy crap! One hundred schools? Mr. Lu is awesome!

[The Love Lunch Program is being directly contracted out to specific regions? No wonder donations to the Love Lunch Program in some areas are no longer possible; turns out you've taken it all over by, Mr. Lu!]

[A billion yuan for charity? Mr. Lu! I'd like to be your sugar daddy!]

【.】

For Lu Yiming's fans...

This news was like a shot in the arm.

In particular, this Weibo post indicates that Lu Yiming has established his own foundation.

Out of trust in Lu Yiming.

Inspired by Lu Yiming's charitable act, some of his fans have expressed their desire for him to open a donation channel, as they intend to contribute their share.

In fact.

Charity efforts are declining year by year.

The main reason stems from a crisis of trust.

People no longer trust traditional charitable organizations.

But for Lu Yiming...

His fans can still fully trust him.

After all, compared to traditional charitable organizations.

Lu Yiming's reputation is on a much higher level.

After seeing these comments, Lu Yiming...

He shook his head and laughed, "There's no need for that! The current model of my charity foundation is to take five percent of my personal income. In the future, it may become a system where a certain amount of operating capital is deposited, with the operating capital as the principal, and the profits will be used as annual charitable expenditures, striving to ensure a continuous flow of income."

This is Lu Yiming's true thought.

But these words of his.

This also reveals a huge piece of information.

[Holy crap! Five percent? Ten small goals only amount to five percent of CEO Lu's income? Holy crap!]

【? ? ? ? ? ? 】

[It can't be counted as ten. There were three last year and seven this year, which means President Lu's annual income is 14 billion?]

[Upstairs! It's only halfway through the year! It should be over two hundred! And that's profit!]

[Incredible! Mr. Lu's income is absolutely outrageous!]

【.】

Regarding Lu Yiming's annual income.

This has piqued the curiosity of many people online.

Some people have attempted to estimate based on the companies that Lu Yiming is currently known to.

However, the estimated results are not acceptable to everyone.

At this moment, Lu Yiming suddenly self-destructed.

It instantly caused the live stream to erupt in excitement.

eight pm.

Lu Yiming and Cao Siyun held a video conference.

Cao Siyun's expression showed a hint of embarrassment.

This "crisis" is the first public relations crisis that Lu Yiming has encountered since establishing the group.

It can be said that Cao Siyun prepared to deal with the situation with all her might.

It also tests the company's public relations capabilities.

It can be said that it is a Chinese company.

There are four departments that are of paramount importance.

These are HR, legal, finance, and public relations.

In order to deal with this crisis.

Cao Siyun and the public relations department stayed up all night.

But at this point, their plan had only reached the first step and was not yet finished.

The turmoil was completely quelled.

This is also why Cao Siyun's expression is a bit awkward right now.

Yesterday, there was heated debate about whether Lu Yiming was right or wrong, but starting tonight, Lu Yiming has become someone that netizens consider to be on par with Ma Huateng and Ma Yun.

Having assets worth hundreds of billions is nothing to netizens.

They could easily name someone whose assets exceed tens of billions.

But it's different when an individual's income is in the tens of billions annually.

The income of China's richest people has always been a secret.

Even if it's Ma and Jack Ma.

They have never actually disclosed their income.

However, after unexpectedly revealing his own income, Lu Yiming genuinely admitted in his live stream that his income was in the eleven figures.

The deposit is a phone number.

It's something most people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

But Lu Yiming's annual income is his phone number.

This is really an exaggeration.

And that's when this news came out.

All negative news about Lu Yiming has disappeared, and the entire internet is amazed by his income.

of course.

There's also a little anecdote here.

That is, as soon as the news came out, some people questioned whether Lu Yiming had paid taxes.

Lu Yiming's viewers relayed this question in the live chat.

Lu Yiming opened the tax app on his phone without hesitation.

The specific amount of tax paid was not displayed.

However, the ten asterisks left everyone in the live stream speechless.

One asterisk (*) is a single digit!

Lu Yiming has already paid a ten-figure sum in taxes even though the year is only halfway over.

A true major taxpayer!

This is one of the key pieces of evidence that sparked a frenzy among netizens after the initial revelation of his income.

It can be said.

starting today.

Lu Yiming is no longer the richest man in Funan, a title often jokingly referred to by netizens.

But in the truest sense!
The genuine richest man in Funan!
at this time.

With an embarrassed expression, Cao Siyun said, "President Lu! Regarding the widespread online discussion caused by this new incident, do we need to prepare a new public relations plan?"
