"Pah!"
Barron threw the newspaper onto the dining table.
"What's the matter, dear?"
Bonnie, who was having breakfast, saw her boyfriend's action and asked casually.
As she spoke, she picked up the newspaper on the table and saw the red headline. It was indeed The Sun again...
Then, Barron saw Bonnie reading a newspaper with a strange smile on her face.
The report that angered Barron just now was easy to find, because his photo was printed there...
As for the content of the newspaper——
"Recently, a game has become popular at Cambridge University. That is, on a website called Woaw, people comment on the photos of girls. When our reporter found a student for an interview, he said that this was a 'beauty pageant' initiated by the young Duke of Devonshire, Barron Cavendish. The most beautiful girl will receive a prize of up to 50,000 pounds. As for why he initiated such a boring 'beauty pageant', it is probably self-evident..."
Yes, they regarded the promotion of the Woaw website as an activity for Barron to select beauties for himself. The words used above are already the most "elegant" in the entire report. As for the speculations that follow, I'm afraid that everyone who has read this report will regard Barron, the Duke, as a jerk...
No wonder Barron was so angry!
Bonnie glanced at Barron and smiled:
"I think the speculation in their report is not unreasonable."
"Haha, they are just too naive to see how great a viral campaign this is."
"So what are you going to do? Sue them? Or have the newspaper write an article to scold them back?"
When Bonnie finished speaking, Barron touched his nose and laughed:
"Of course I can do both."
"This is not your style. Didn't you tell me before that I shouldn't pay attention to those tabloid reports? Suing them will only bring them attention..."
"Specific issues specific analysis - well, this is the revelation I got after reading a great book recently..."
Barron calmed down at this time, and said to Bonnie calmly:
"My purpose this time is to promote the Woaw website. Of course, the more people know about it, the better. So by making this matter bigger, more people will be impressed by the Woaw website, and naturally many people will take the initiative to browse this website."
"I am a little curious, what is this 'great book' you are talking about?"
"Selected Works of MAO TSETUNG, this is a great book, I am reading it recently and it is very inspiring."
"Wow, that's cool."
Seeing Bonnie giving him a thumbs up, Barron said seriously,
"So I will have my lawyer send them a letter, and then I will humiliate that tabloid in my newspaper. I hope they can have a mutual relationship with me, which will have the best effect."
Barron did what he said and asked his lawyer to send a letter to The Sun newspaper that day.
Then, in the evening's London Evening Post, an entire page was used to list in detail some of the vulgar and fabricated reports by The Sun in recent years, directly slapping the newspaper in the face.
This is mainly because The Independent is a morning newspaper, and in terms of time, the London Evening Standard can respond first.
But there is no rush. There will be another article in the Independent tomorrow morning that will "criticize" The Sun.
Even today, when a reporter interviewed him, Barron changed his usual attitude of not commenting. In response to the Sun's claim that he was looking for beauties at Cambridge University through the Woaw website, he directly said:
"Their speculation is groundless, and the facts will speak for themselves. What makes me angry is that they not only slandered me with such dirty thoughts, but also humiliated those students. The activities of the Woaw website are only to enhance the confidence of those female students and make them believe that beauty is diverse and everyone has the right to be appreciated by everyone. As for those awards, they are purely for encouragement!"
As he expected, The Sun did not show any weakness in response to Barron's "counterattack" and continued to report on the Woaw website's "beauty pageant" the next day.
In response to Barron's statement yesterday that "it is to encourage female students and boost their confidence", The Sun believes that this is pure nonsense. If that is the case, why is the evaluation based on appearance? As a top university in Britain and even the world, shouldn't it pay more attention to the inner qualities of students?
Well, since you are so cooperative, I can't miss this opportunity to promote it -
So the London Evening Post responded that night:
"You are right, but Woaw is a new open real social networking site developed by us. The site will set up personal homepages for students, where they can show their lives and personalities and find companions with common interests and hobbies. You will get to know more people as your real self in the virtual network, and at the same time, gradually discover more ways to play the Woaw site..."
"As for the fact that this evaluation is based solely on appearance, I would like to say that beauty is diverse. Please do not define beauty with your secular eyes. Everyone can find someone who is compatible with them on the Woaw website..."
…
"Your website is called Woaw, right? It's pretty cool."
Barron had never expected that during his verbal battle with The Sun, he would receive a call from Prince William about the Woaw website...
"Many of my classmates are talking about this website, but what's frustrating is that although we have been invited, we cannot register successfully. Only students from Cambridge University can register. So can't the registration scope be expanded?"
Barron had thought about this at the very beginning.
If registration is by invitation, then there will definitely be students outside Cambridge University, or adults, who can also be invited to register on the Woaw website.
Therefore, when registering personally, you need to fill in the correct information about your Cambridge University college and class, as well as the address of your dormitory.
All of these need to be confirmed by the Woaw website, that is, the students working for the website at this time, before the registration can be completed.
Or if you need confirmation from at least three people in your class or dormitory, you can still register.
This will prevent people outside the school from registering - they will only be able to browse the Woaw website as visitors for the time being.
Visitors have limited rights and can only browse. They cannot create personal homepages or leave messages, nor can they participate in this evaluation and voting.
Therefore, many people now know about the Woaw website through the media, but they cannot register and can only browse it.
The reason for doing this, instead of trying to get more registered users in the shortest time, is because Baron hopes that the Woaw website can develop steadily, rather than having a mixed user base from the beginning, which would have some negative effects.
In the beginning, the more users the better was not the case. Baron still had enough time. He hoped to cultivate enough high-quality "seed users" before gradually opening the Woaw website to the public.
Unexpectedly, such a strategy would create a "hunger marketing" effect for the Woaw website.
"Don't worry, William. We will gradually open schools to join the Woaw website. This will take some preparation... The University of St Andrews will be at the front of the queue."
