  In the end, Barron decided to try this kind of social network project in England before Facebook was founded.

  And he has already made two preparations. If it fails in the end, he will wait until Xiao Zha founded Facebook before investing.

  After all, the temptation of having a social network controlled by oneself is too great. Even if his social network can only retain the European market in the end, it can still be considered a success.

  It's not that he was too unconfident. In fact, in his previous life, the global Internet market could be said to be dominated by the United States. Only China could maintain its own market in this regard.

  This has led to the fact that the United States can be said to be completely controlled in terms of online public opinion - even though Britain is the "traditional ally" of the United States, when it comes to interests, it also needs a platform that it can control.

  "The project I am planning to carry out will be a real social network on the virtual Internet. Each user can create a homepage of their own, where they can share their photos, personal interests, and life details, and they can also find and connect with each other. My friends interact..."

  "Isn't this very similar to the website I created?"

  "It seems similar, but the most important thing is to be authentic!"

  Regarding Davao's doubts, Barron explained to him:

  "The original intention of your current website is to allow students to interact and communicate, but you have found that most of the users who registered for your website may actually be students from Cambridge University, but they often do not Use your real name and information, so this will create a sense of alienation in mutual communication..."

  Including most of the websites with social functions at present, almost all are "stranger socializing", that is, everyone on the Internet , mainly communicates with "netizens", but what Barron wants to do is a real social network on the virtual Internet. Users need to use their own information to show themselves and communicate with other people.

  "So how do we do this, because most people on the Internet are not willing to show their original identities to others." "

  This is why I want to start from university first. In the early stage, I will use the invitation system to allow everyone to invite their classmates and friends to join this network. In this way, our social network will have a real relationship network as the basis, and then through other methods, we will encourage everyone to show their true identities. , you can achieve the goal."

  At this time, real-name authentication methods such as face recognition are not yet realistic. It is still difficult to achieve 100% real social interaction. It only needs to be used in the initial stage. Just create a real social atmosphere based on the actual relationship network.

  Of course, the website that Barron is about to launch will be a new model called SNS (Social Networking Services), which is a social network service, as well as the subsequent development direction. For more detailed content, Barron It won't be told to Davao now.

  Although he has signed a confidentiality agreement, Barron needs to be the leader of this project, and Davo will only be his "tool" to achieve this. The tool does not need to know too much, and basic defences are still needed.

  In his previous life, Barron was engaged in the financial industry, but because his work often involved overseas work, he was quite familiar with applications including Facebook, Twitter, etc., and because of the once popular "Social Network" This movie also provides a more detailed understanding of some of the things that happened when Facebook was first founded, as well as its version changes. The only thing is that he himself is not a technician.

  So what he needs now is for professional people to complete the project under his leadership instead of sharing the company's growth with them. The attitude required is completely different.

  In other words, Barron himself knows what functions need to be implemented and how to develop in the future. He just needs people to implement them according to his ideas.

  This is somewhat similar to Boss Ma, who founded Alibaba. He himself is not an Internet professional, but it still does not affect his leadership of the company. He only needs to think about how to do it. As for how to realize his ideas, it is up to him. Hire staff to make it happen.

  So after an afternoon of talking, Davo already understood what kind of website Barron wanted him to complete initially. Next, he needed to go back to school and complete these.

  "What is this website called?"   

  As for this question, originally, Barron wanted to call Facebook directly. After all, following other people's paths would leave others with nowhere to go...

  But he thought that if this time it didn't succeed, he would still have to wait to invest in Xiao Zha's Facebook. Forget it. Let's not do anything about it yet.

  After thinking for a while, he said:

  "Let's call it Woaw. It's easy to remember and makes everyone marvel at this website. Well, that's it."

  While talking like this, they decided on the name of the website. In Davao, before leaving, he signed a contract with Barron to help him complete the website and receive corresponding compensation.

  Next, Barron's staff will help him register Woaw Technology Company. After that, Dawo will become the first employee of this company, and some students will be added in the future.

  The reason why Barron specifically asked Dawo, who is a student, to do this is that he happened to have built a similar website, and on the other hand, Woaw itself was planning to promote it on campus first, so Davo Being a student is more conducive to the initial development of the website.

  Anyway, there are still more than two years before Facebook appears, which is enough time for Barron to develop slowly. In the beginning, the website was not large in scale, and the user scope was limited to students, so the cost required was not much. First of all, It would be painless for him to spend tens of thousands of pounds to give it a try.

  ...

  "How are you today? My dear."

  After Bonnie returned to London, Barron also ended his "single" life. Now, the two of them are living together, so most of the time, Bonnie will come to Devon. Hill Hotel, staying with Barron.

  After returning to the hotel, Barron waited for a while before seeing Bonnie in professional attire return to the room. He couldn't help but give her a hug and ask her affectionately.

  "Today went well. We contacted Julian Fellowes. He said that he liked the novel "Downton Abbey" very much and was willing to adapt it into a script himself and serve as the producer of this TV series."That's really great

  . Okay."

  "This is the person you recommended."

  Yes, Julian Fellowes was recommended to Summit Media by Barron. The reason is because this person was originally the star of "Downton Abbey" in his previous life. Writer and producer of this TV series.

  Of course, the reason Barron gave to Summit Media managers Fergal and Bonnie was that he liked the movie "Gosford Park" that Julian was the screenwriter for, and it also described the aristocratic manor, and it was also a production in itself. Julian, a human being, can be considered a more suitable candidate.

  Julian Fellowes just won the Best Original Screenplay Award at the 74th Academy Awards for his work "Gosford Park" in March this year, and his popularity at this time is considered good.
