"The person in charge of 3321 UK?!"
Li Mu's words stunned all the royal family members.
Even the queen felt a little weird.
They never expected that Li Mu would give them such a big gift as soon as they came up, and before that, he had just taken the initiative to give William a "Twitter gift package", which made William truly attract global attention for the first time.
3321 has a very high reputation and recognition around the world. It is definitely the most recognized charity project in the education field. If William can become the person in charge of the 3321 UK station and be fully responsible for the operation and promotion of 3321 in the UK, it will be a great help to him. In terms of popularity, exposure and even recognition, it will be a very powerful overall improvement.
In that case, whenever the British mention 3321 in the future, they will not only think of Li Mu but also William. When the British media reports on 3321, they will also report on William. Every British citizen who praises 3321 will also think about it. William has a good impression, which will have a huge positive impact on him and the entire Windsor family!
The Queen suddenly became excited, and she happily asked Li Mu: "Mr. Li, can William really be the general person in charge of the 3321 British website?"
Li Mu nodded and said affirmatively: "Why not? Your Majesty, William is very young, so he is easily recognized by college students, and he is a member of the royal family. Members of the royal family are concerned about domestic education issues, and introduced 3321 to solve some problems in colleges and universities. This will bring William great social recognition, which is much better and more influential than sending him to the army to serve as a soldier. .”
The Queen said in particular agreement: "On this point, Mr. Li and I have completely the same view! It is indeed much better than going to the army!"
Li Mu looked at William and said: "We can package this matter properly. The news that I was invited to Buckingham Palace today should be announced to the public in the afternoon, right?"
Charles took over the conversation at this time and said: "Mr. Li, according to your request, we are going to release this news to the outside world after you leave Buckingham Palace."
Li Mu nodded slightly and said with a smile: "In this case, we will jointly prepare a piece of news. The core of the news is: I was invited by William to be a guest at Buckingham Palace. During the meeting with members of the royal family, William took the initiative to propose that 3321 The model was introduced to the UK to solve the practical problems faced by the UK in education to a certain extent, and I happily agreed to William’s request and decided to open the 3321 UK station and leave the operation to William to take full responsibility.”
When Li Mu said this, all the royal family members, except William, smiled with joy.
At this time, Li Mu made a serious statement again, saying: "When announcing it to the outside world, it must be said that William took the initiative to introduce 3321, because this will be a very good bonus for William. He saw the problem. , actively wanted to solve the problem, so he took the initiative to find me, invited me to Buckingham Palace as a guest, and waited for an opportunity to make this request. The reason why he made this series of preparations was to successfully introduce 3321 to the UK."
The queen looked at Li Mu with surprise in her eyes. She expected that Li Mu's style of doing things must be different from his peers, but she did not expect that Li Mu would be so thoughtful and generous.
Li Mu's doing this is almost equivalent to completely giving away the 3321 British station and using it to gild William alone.
In the eyes of her and other members of the royal family, Li Mu can simply read minds. You just felt sleepy and before you showed it, he had already handed the best pillow in front of you, which was extremely considerate.
Moreover, members of the royal family also know that 3321 is an innovative model with great development prospects and soil in the UK. It is not only in line with China's national conditions, the US's national conditions, but also the UK's national conditions.
The UK's education level ranks among the best in the world, but even so, the cost of higher education in the UK has always been a very serious social problem. In the UK, like the United States and even China, the government's compulsory education does not cover university and above education.
In fact, there are only a few countries in the world where college is free, and most of them are countries in Northern Europe with a small population base and high social welfare.
The United States and the United Kingdom, two major education countries, not only do not have free higher education, but the cost of higher education is generally high, often exceeding 10,000 pounds a year. In these two countries, only a very small number of students can obtain full education. There are very few scholarships that families can easily afford.
Most college student families cannot afford the high tuition fees, and these students either choose work-study programs or student loans. Many students not only have to apply for student loans, but also work-study programs while studying.
When many British and American college students graduate from school, they already owe 40,000 to 50,000 US dollars or even pounds in student loans. This money will have to be repaid slowly over several years after they work. If they are in medical school or law school , then the tuition burden will be higher.
Considering this current situation, the British and American governments almost never think of solutions. At this time, the 3321 student aid model becomes particularly necessary.
However, even though 3321 has already become famous around the world with the rise of Li Mu, there are few people who are really willing to copy the 3321 model. Before 3321 cooperated with Harvard, no one in the United States had tried to copy the 3321 model in the United States. In the end, The main reason is that this model of 3321 is a pure charity. Not only all the finances of the fund must be transparent and public, but all net profits must be invested in educational charity, so no one is willing to develop, promote, and implement this model. a pattern.
3321's entire set of product support is actually a complete C2C online mall, which is no different from Taobao. It not only has a front desk, but also has a backend for sellers and buyers. It also needs to embed payment functions and other functions and algorithms, and more The important thing is that this entire solution must be extremely stable. In the absence of open source code, the cost of independent development is very high, and the cost of maintenance is also very high.
No one is willing to spend millions of dollars and several months to build the underlying framework of a charity project. For those who are willing to do charity, it is better to spend so much effort on preliminary preparations and investment. Instead of spending a lot of energy on post-operations, it would be easier to just donate a few million.
Internet companies with technical strength do not dare to try 3321's model easily, because although 3321 has not applied for any patent protection, it is an original project of Li Mu and Makino Technology after all. If it is just copied, it will have a certain negative impact on the company's image. Impact, if it is a product that makes money, then you have to imitate it and imitate it. But it is a product that does not make money and even requires a lot of money and energy. In this case, no one is willing to imitate it.
For Li Mu, it is very easy to export 3321 to overseas markets. He only needs to take out the 3321 brand name and the complete set of solutions that 3321 has developed, and he can build a complete solution in a very short time. For a new 3321 branch, for example, if you want to start the 3321 British station, you only need to activate the second-level domain name uk.3321.com, and then put in the full set of the English version of 3321 architecture, and then add the British cities, counties and major cities. Once the school information is entered, it can be used by British college students and parents of primary and secondary school students.
However, 3321 is not a simple e-commerce, but an O2O model. What buyers and sellers trade on the platform is not goods, but an offline service. Therefore, this requires the platform to provide additional offline services on the premise of providing online support. Support and supervision cannot be ignored. Tens of thousands of students and parents of students in the UK are using 3321, but 3321 does not even have a single staff member in the entire UK. In this way, if any offline problems arise, it will be difficult to solve them in time. Therefore, Li Mu has not been in a hurry. To expand 3321 to more countries, the only place it expanded to was the United States. It was only at Harvard’s strong request that I was willing to cooperate with them, and handed over all operations and offline support in the U.S. market to Harvard.
Now, if I want to export 3321, a complete set of mature products and charity models, to the UK, I also need individuals or companies in the UK who are capable and strong enough to cooperate with me. William is a good choice.
…
When the Queen thought that William would become the crown prince who took the initiative to introduce 3321 to the UK, she felt indescribably happy.
Holding Li Mu's hand, the Queen sincerely sighed: "Mr. Li, thank you very much for your generosity, and thank you very much for taking care of William. If you need any help from the Windsor family in the future, please tell me, or tell me William.”
For the Queen, although her status and symbolic significance are very high, her rights have been almost completely weakened. Even in front of a young man like Li Mu, she is still a little unsure, fearing that the Windsor family has nothing to show Li Mu. Well, if we can't help each other and the Windsor family only seeks help from Li Mu unilaterally, such a relationship will not last long. Therefore, after Li Mu is willing to help William in this way, she also hopes that the Windsor family can do something for Li Mu. What, reciprocity.
Li Mu also knew this truth, so he said to the Queen: "Thank you for your concern, Her Majesty the Queen. Speaking of help, I really have something I hope to get help from the Windsor family. I have just obtained the ownership of Manchester City Club. In the future, I I hope to be deeply engaged in the management and layout of football in the UK. Regarding this matter, on the one hand, I hope to be treated well by the British people, and on the other hand, I also hope to provide a good development environment for Chinese players, so I may also do so in the future. We need some public support from you and other members of the royal family, even including the issue of labor certificates for future Chinese players."
Although Davidson said that it could help him solve the labor certificate problem, Li Mu still felt that it would be safer to have another channel. Davidson's solution was to rent to other clubs in Europe first and then find a way to obtain a British labor certificate. Li Mu hoped that the royal family If we can provide a fast track to directly resolve labor certification, it will be much more convenient in the future.
