While Li Mu was still on his way to Manchester, Buckingham Palace had already started to release news as agreed.
Although Buckingham Palace has its own channels for releasing information, in terms of influence, cooperation with media like the BBC is most effective.
By convention, major news is reported to the media as soon as possible, and then the media releases it to the country and even the world.
As a result, authoritative local British media such as the BBC and The Times suddenly received bombshell news from Buckingham Palace this afternoon:
"The Queen met with Li Mu, who was invited to visit, at Buckingham Palace this morning. In view of Li Mu's achievements in the development of the global Internet, enhancing global connections and other charitable fields, the Queen awarded Li Mu the honor of the Imperial Grand Cross; at the same time, in response to Prince William At the request of Li Mu, Li Mu decided to launch the 3321 British station as soon as possible. All technical support work before and after the 3321 British station is launched will be handled by Makino Technology free of charge. After the launch, Prince William will be responsible for the operation."
In addition to the content itself, Buckingham Palace also provided the media with some behind-the-scenes photos of Li Mu's visit to Buckingham Palace, as well as a video of the entire process of the Queen's low-key awarding of Li Mu.
To the media, this news was like releasing two nuclear bombs in a row.
First of all, the Knight-level Grand Cross has not been awarded for some years. The significance of this level of medal to the British is simply the highest honor of the country. In the past, only those who have made great contributions to the United Kingdom and dedicated half their lives have the opportunity. After obtaining it, the queen actually awarded it to Li Mu. This move can be said to completely subvert the perception;
Secondly, Prince William’s views on British education and the introduction of 3321 are being discussed enthusiastically on Twitter and across the UK, and have received unanimous praise. Unexpectedly, Li Mu responded so quickly, confirming that 3321 will be introduced to the UK and handed over to the UK. Allowing Prince William to operate it means that the topic of 3321 will have a final result so quickly, and it is the final result that everyone is looking forward to. Once this news is released, those citizens who support William will definitely cheer with excitement!
As the most influential and coverage TV media in the UK, the BBC immediately inserted special news into multiple programs and reported these two major events that took place at Buckingham Palace. The whole country was in an uproar!
Interestingly, Li Mu's receipt of the Knight's Grand Cross created a polarizing situation in the country.
First of all, there are the traditional nobles and Old-Money. Some of them have worked hard and struggled all their lives, but in the end they can only get a CBE medal like Devinson. Some even fail to get to this level, and many get to this level. People at this level are all promoted one level at a time, and there are only a handful of people who can be awarded a CBE for the first time.
But Li Mu took the supreme GBE all of a sudden. This is simply unacceptable! Why should he? Does he deserve it
However, British netizens and ordinary people did not feel any disparity in their reaction to Li Mu receiving the Grand Cross, let alone any unacceptable feeling. Moreover, most people felt that Li Mu was awarded this medal, and there was nothing wrong with it. question.
Ordinary people and traditional nobles are two different classes. Although both groups respect the royal family and the honor of the empire, the biggest difference is that the latter will fight tooth and nail to defend it, while the former will not.
The former generally feel that Li Mu himself is an unmatched existence in the Internet and business fields, and he has indeed brought more beautiful changes to the world and inspired a generation of young people to work hard. In the eyes of many young people, he He is simply the biggest idol in life. What's wrong with such a person receiving a Grand Cross? The royal family does not have a princess of the right age. Otherwise, even if the royal family marries the princess to Li Mu, everyone will not think there is anything wrong. They may even think that the princess is favoring Li Mu.
What's more, the Queen made it very clear in the video during the conferment. Even someone as old as the Queen can list Li Mu's achievements one by one. This shows how influential Li Mu is and the whole world knows it. There are not many people who have received the Knight-level Grand Cross, but those who know Li Mu start at least 2 billion. With such an obvious comparison, they will naturally not feel that Li Mu is not worthy of this medal.
And another piece of news made the British even more fond of Li Mu.
Li Mu actually agreed to Prince William's request so readily and was willing to introduce 3321 to the UK and provide various free supports!
You know, just before the news was released, everyone was still discussing enthusiastically on the Internet about which British companies might develop products similar to 3321 if Li Mu failed to take into account or fail to see the British demands for 3321.
Unexpectedly, Li Mu happily packed everything and sent it to England.
This means that the 3321 UK station will be deployed and launched in the shortest time. By then, the UK will not only have a tutoring trading platform like 3321, but also an educational charity foundation. After all, according to 3321’s operating model, all After deducting costs, all income will be used for educational charity, and financial accounts will be disclosed to the whole society.
As a result, Li Mu suddenly won the favor of countless British people. They were full of admiration and gratitude for such a selfless and powerful international friend. This feeling, to a certain extent, is somewhat similar to Bethune's image in the hearts of Chinese people. status.
Just as people across the UK were eagerly discussing these two news, Makino Technology also officially issued its official announcement.
In the announcement, Makino Technology representative Li Mu thanked the royal family for the invitation to him, and also thanked the Queen for the honor bestowed on him. At the same time, he also expressed his appreciation for William in Li Mu's tone.
This passage was improvised by Li Mu in the car. He said: "Prince William is an impressive young man. I have never seen any royal family member with such a distinguished status as him. He thinks about it every day. How they devote all their strength to the country and the people is very admirable;"
“Prince William is very concerned about the teaching burden of British college students. He believes that the 3321 model may be one of the solutions to this problem, and he strongly hopes to introduce 3321 to the UK. I am touched by his sincerity, so, I decided to send 3321 to the UK and volunteer to provide all technical and structural support for the 3321 UK station;"
"At the same time, on behalf of Makino Technology, I will also donate two million pounds in start-up funds to the future operation team of 3321 UK station, which will be used to set up the team, solve the problems of office space and landing promotion. I sincerely hope that 3321 can serve British college students, As well as students at other stages in the UK to solve the problems they face, we also hope that 3321 can become a link to establish academic connections between Chinese and British university students in the future."
The official announcement of Makino Technology not only represents Makino Technology, but also represents Li Mu. Therefore, no one doubts the authority of this announcement. Therefore, as soon as this announcement was issued, it immediately caused a major response in the UK.
First of all, people's favorability towards Li Mu has risen sharply again. Secondly, Prince William has also been greatly sought after by the domestic people.
William is very young, about the same age as Li Mu, and today he suddenly showed the British that he is different from other members of the royal family. He is no longer a simple royal mascot. He did not join the army to be gilded like other princes, but At a young age, he saw the pain points of British education problems and actively looked for solutions. What's even more rare is that he actually found a practical solution. This is really rare and surprising.
For a time, William gained a large number of fans in the country.
On Twitter, William's fans are growing at the speed of light, and the hottest topic on British Twitter is "Prince William introduces 3321 to the UK." There are praises for him everywhere on the Internet.
At the same time, William, who is in Buckingham Palace, is immersed in the excellent social response like other members of the royal family, while keeping in mind Li Mu's instructions: Twitter should be centered on education, but it should also be supplemented by life.
So, William personally wrote a Twitter. This Twitter was a picture and text tweet. The picture was a snapshot taken when William was talking to Li Mu. The accompanying text was: It is a great honor to have a pleasant and in-depth conversation with Mr. Li Mu. He is like a life mentor who has given me so much inspiration and guidance. I am also very grateful to Mr. Li Mu for his generosity and kindness. He will send a team to the UK to support the normal operation of the entire 3321 UK station. At the same time, I would like to thank Mr. Li for his trust in me. He gave me the right to operate the 3321 UK station. I will definitely try my best to make the 3321 UK station the best it can be. "
This is a tweet with the word "humility" written all over it. William's humble gesture once again won him a lot of support. This tweet immediately received a huge number of clicks, retweets and comments, and all The comments are overwhelmingly one-sided and supportive of us.
Almost all the young people in the country stood behind him and supported him and the 3321 British station he was about to take charge of.
In Buckingham Palace, the entire Windsor family was amazed by the explosion of public opinion. The last time the royal family attracted such close attention on such a large scale was when the princess died in an accident. At that time, everyone had a lot of malicious speculations about the royal family, so at that time Paying close attention has brought only negative influence and pressure to the royal family. Unlike this time, this time is like a gift from heaven. Every step of development and every feedback about William far exceeds the expectations of the royal family itself.
There was another thing that greatly exceeded the royal family's expectations.
Originally, they were worried that awarding Li Mu a Knight's Grand Cross would arouse strong opposition from the people. After all, Li Mu's age, nationality, and contribution to the United Kingdom were far from the previous practice of awarding a Knight's Grand Cross. That's why the Queen specially In front of the camera, they listed Li Mu's achievements in the Internet field and his contributions to the world, hoping that it would have some relief. But what they didn't expect was that the vast majority of people were dissatisfied with this award. There was no objection at all. In their eyes, Li Mu fully deserved this medal!
