When Li Mu was still on his way to Manchester, Buckingham Palace had already begun to release the news according to the agreement.
Although Buckingham Palace had its own information release channel, in terms of influence, it was still most effective to cooperate with media like BBC.
According to the usual practice, major news would be reported to the media immediately, and then the media would release it to the whole country, or even the world.
Therefore, the authoritative British media, such as BBC and The Times, suddenly received a big news from Buckingham Palace in the afternoon.
"The Queen and the Queen met with Li Mu at Buckingham Palace this morning. In view of Li Mu's achievements in the development of the global Internet, strengthening global ties, and other charitable fields, the Queen awarded Li Mu the Duke Grand Cross of the Empire. At the same time, at the initiative of Prince William, Li Mu decided to launch the 3321 UK website as soon as possible. All the technical support work before and after the launch of the 3321 UK website will be undertaken by Makino Technology for free. 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 photos of Li Mu's visit to Buckingham Palace, as well as the video of the whole process of the Queen awarding Li Mu the medal in a low-key manner.
For the media, this news was like releasing two nuclear bombs in a row.
First of all, the Duke Grand Cross had not been awarded for some years. This level of medal was simply the highest honor of the country to the British. In the past, only those who had made great contributions to the United Kingdom and dedicated half of their lives had the opportunity to receive it. The Queen actually awarded it to Li Mu. This move could be said to be completely subversive.
Secondly, the topic of Prince William's introduction of British education and the topic of 3321 was hotly discussed on Twitter and all over the United Kingdom, and it received unanimous praise. Unexpectedly, Li Mu responded so quickly and confirmed that he would introduce 3321 to the United Kingdom and hand it over to Prince William to operate. This also meant that the topic of 3321 had a final result so quickly, and it was the final result that everyone was looking forward to. Once this news was released, the people who supported William would definitely cheer excitedly!
BBC, as the most influential and influential television media in the United Kingdom, immediately broadcast special news in many programs, reporting the two major events that happened in Buckingham Palace. All of a sudden, the whole country was in an uproar!
Interestingly, the fact that Li Mu had been awarded the Grand Cross of the Baron rank caused a polarizing situation in the country.
First of all, there were the traditional nobles and the old-money. Some of them had worked hard all their lives, but in the end, they could only get a CBE medal like Davison. Some of them couldn't even get to this level. Moreover, many of those who got to this level had been promoted step by step. The number of people who could get a CBE on their first try could be counted on one hand.
As for Li Mu, he had obtained the supreme GBE all of a sudden. It was simply unacceptable! What right does he have? Was he worthy?
However, the reaction of British netizens and ordinary people to Li Mu's Grand Cross of the Baron rank did not feel any disappointment, nor did they find it unacceptable. In fact, most people felt that there was no problem with Li Mu being awarded the medal.
The ordinary people and the traditional nobles were two different classes. Although both groups respected the royal family and the empire's honor, the biggest difference was that the latter would desperately defend it, while the former would not.
The former generally felt that Li Mu himself was an existence that no one could match in the field of the Internet and business. Moreover, he had 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 was simply the biggest idol in their lives. Why couldn't such a person be awarded the Grand Cross of the Baron rank? The royal family did not have a princess of the right age. Otherwise, even if the royal family married the princess to Li Mu, no one would feel anything wrong. They might even think that the princess was trying to climb up the social ladder with Li Mu.
Moreover, the Queen had already made it very clear in the video when she was awarded the medal. Even someone as old as the Queen could list out Li Mu's achievements one by one. It was enough to show how influential Li Mu was. There were not many people in the world who knew about the Grand Cross of the Baron rank, but at least two billion people knew about Li Mu. With such an obvious comparison, they naturally felt that Li Mu was not worthy of the medal.
There was another piece of news that made the British people's impression of Li Mu even more favorable.
Li Mu had agreed to Prince William's request so readily. He was willing to introduce 3321 to the United Kingdom and provide all kinds of free support!
One had to know that just before the news was released, everyone was still discussing enthusiastically on the Internet. They were discussing what companies in the United Kingdom could develop products similar to 3321 if Li Mu did not care or did not see the British people's demands for 3321.
But to her surprise, Li Mu packed everything up and sent it to the UK without hesitation.
This meant that the UK website of 3321 would be deployed and launched in the shortest time possible. At that time, the United Kingdom would not only have a private tutoring trading platform like 3321, but also an educational charity foundation. After all, according to 3321's operating model, all income after deducting costs would be used for educational charity, and the financial accounts would be open to the public.
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 helpful international friend. This feeling, to a certain extent, was somewhat similar to the image and status of Bethune in the hearts of the people of Hua Xia.
Just as the people of the United Kingdom were eagerly discussing these two pieces of news, Makino Technology also officially released its official announcement.
In the announcement, Makino Technology, on behalf of Li Mu, thanked the Royal Family for their invitation, and also thanked the Queen for granting him the honor. At the same time, he also expressed his appreciation for William in Li Mu's tone.
This paragraph was made up on the spot by Li Mu in the car. He said, "Prince William is an impressive young man. I have never seen any noble member of the royal family like him. Every day, his mind is thinking about how to devote all his strength to the country and the people. This is very admirable;"
"Prince William is very concerned about the teaching burden of British university students. He believes that the model of 3321 may be one of the solutions to this problem, and he strongly hopes to introduce 3321 to the United Kingdom. I am touched by his sincerity. Therefore, I have decided to send 3321 to the United Kingdom, and I am obligated to provide all technical and architectural support for the UK station of 3321;"
"At the same time, on behalf of Makino Technology, I will also donate two million pounds of start-up funds to the future operation team of the UK station of 3321 for the establishment of the team, solving the problem of office space, and landing promotion. I sincerely hope that 3321 can solve the problems faced by British university students and students of other stages in the United Kingdom. I also hope that 3321 can become a link between Hua Xia and British university students in the future."
The official announcement of Makino Technology not only represented Makino Technology, but also represented Li Mu. Therefore, the authority of this announcement was naturally unquestionable. Therefore, as soon as this announcement was released, it immediately caused a major response in the United Kingdom.
First of all, people's favorability towards Li Mu rose sharply again. Secondly, Prince William was also greatly praised by the people in the country.
William was very young, about the same age as Li Mu. Moreover, he suddenly showed to the United Kingdom that he was different from the other members of the royal family. He was no longer a simple mascot of the royal family. He did not join the army like the other princes, but at a young age, he saw the pain points of the United Kingdom's education problems and actively looked for solutions. What was more rare was that he actually found a practical solution. This was really rare, and it was too surprising.
In a short period of time, William gained a large number of fans in the country.
On Twitter, the number of William's fans increased at the speed of light. Moreover, the hottest topic on Twitter in the United Kingdom was "Prince William introduces 3321 to the United Kingdom". The Internet was full of praise for him.
At the same time, William, who was in Buckingham Palace, was immersed in the excellent social response like the other members of the royal family. At the same time, he kept in mind Li Mu's instructions: Twitter must be centered around education, but it must also be supplemented by daily life.
Therefore, William personally wrote a Twitter message. This Twitter was a picture of William and Li Mu talking. The accompanying text was: "It's a great honor to have a pleasant and in-depth conversation with Mr. Li Mu. He's like a life coach, giving me so much inspiration and guidance. I'm also very grateful to Mr. Li Mu for his generosity and kindness. He will send a team to the United Kingdom to support the normal operations of the 3321 UK website. At the same time, I would like to thank Mr. Li for his trust in me. He has given me the operating rights of the 3321 UK website. I will do my best to make the 3321 UK website the best it can be."
This was a tweet with the word "humble" written all over it. William's humble attitude once again won him a lot of support. This tweet immediately received a huge number of clicks, reposts, and comments. Moreover, all the comments were one-sided in favor of him and supporting him.
Almost all the young people in the country stood behind him, supporting him and the 3321 UK website that he was about to be in 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 was when the princess died in an accident. At that time, everyone had a lot of malicious speculations about the royal family. Therefore, the close attention at that time only brought negative influence and pressure to the royal family. Unlike this time, this was like a gift from heaven. Every step of William's development and every piece of feedback far exceeded the expectations of the royal family.
There was one more thing that greatly exceeded the expectations of the royal family.
