Rhode Island Park Project

"Yes!"

The Duke of Caister tapped off his cigarette ash, his eyes cold.

Rhodes Island announced that it would sell 50 smart bracelets in the first batch, and the price of each one was clearly marked on the homepage. If this batch of goods were actually sold, the profit it could bring to Rhodes Island could be easily calculated.

This is just the economic benefit. Rhodes Island has already gained the upper hand in public opinion by relying on the titles of King and Steam Knight, and is now constantly hyping up its own reputation. If they are allowed to continue like this and constantly build momentum for themselves, it will obviously not benefit anyone.

She didn't count on the conservatives, but she didn't know what Wellington was doing. There was no movement at this time, so she had to rely on herself.

"I don't ask you to overwhelm the other side with public opinion right now, but I want you to keep up the pressure of public opinion at all times. Once the operation in Rhodes Island is completed, you must defeat the other side both in public opinion and physically!"

As the Duke of Caister spoke, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes that was not in line with his age.

How many former celebrities have seen their reputations destroyed overnight because of a mistake, and even ruined everything they had accumulated before?

She didn't need to attack the titles of Rhodes Island's previous king and steam knight. As long as she could ruin Rhodes Island's reputation this time, she could still make Rhodes Island a disappointing deceiver.

The assistant quickly left Duke Caster's room to busy himself with new tasks. Meanwhile, the Rhodes Island ship—

"If the current public opinion situation continues, it is likely to have a certain reputational impact on our products. Should we take any action, Doctor?"

Biting the biscuit that Gumi gave to Luo Hang, Amiya's expression returned to one of worry.

"Of course we have to take action, but have you figured out how to act?"

There seemed to be no anxious look on Luo Hang's face. Instead, he asked the little rabbit sitting in his arms with great interest.

"Um, I noticed that Miss Igolin, who worked with you yesterday, seemed to have posted a video specifically about using the Qihang bracelet. How about we get more people to review it?"

Amiya obviously has no confidence in her operations in the areas of public opinion and traffic, and her cute little face is full of confusion.

"Ha, then do you think we can rival the Duke of Caister's channels in terms of media traffic?"

Luo Hang continued to ask leisurely, "Last time, our public opinion was able to win because the name Steam Knight had accumulated many years of popularity in Victoria. Coupled with the current situation, it was able to get everyone to spontaneously discuss and spread it. But now that we are selling bracelets, I'm afraid that won't have the same effect, right?"

“Mmmm…”

Amiya's expression turned distressed.

"How about we ask the Duke of Windermere for help?"

In the absence of spontaneous discussion among the masses, the direct traffic confrontation between Rhodes Island and Shi Huaiya alone is indeed quite far behind the Duke of Caster, not to mention that the other side still has the Duke of Wellington and the conservatives who have not yet made their move.

However, Luo Hang still shook his head.

"Any help has a price. Duke Windermere has already tied down the main forces of the two Grand Dukes for us. If we want the Duke to pay anything, we must think carefully about the price we will pay."

"Goo."

Now Amiya is really having a headache.

"Doctor, just be frank. I give up!"

"Want answers?"

"Yes."

Amiya nodded obediently.

"Then kiss me."

"—?!"

Chapter 298 Please Be Silent

In fact, we don’t even need to look to the future for the standard answer to traffic hype. Before modern times, our ancestors had already given the answer.

Phoebe Taylor Barnum is a man with a very special resume, and the reason why more people have heard of this name may be the Barnum effect.

That is, when people use some common, vague, and broad adjectives to describe a person, people tend to accept these descriptions easily and think that the description is about themselves.

In fact, this is the core theory of fortune-telling, astrology and various metaphysical scams.

As for what Barnum did to become the master of traffic hype, the situation is this.

When Barnum first debuted, there was an old lady who claimed to be 161 years old and had once been a slave to Washington, who used this as a gimmick to make money in the theater.

Although the technology at that time was not very advanced, obviously not many people believed that someone could live to 161 years old, so the old lady's business was not very good. Barnum took a fancy to the old lady, spent some money to hire her for a year, and then started to hype her.

Barnum had already reached two conclusions at the time:

First: People can be fooled.

Second: People are more willing to believe the answers they infer than to be forced to believe them.

Therefore, after hiring the old lady, the first thing Barnum did was to hire a large number of writers and newspaper pages, but instead of advertising for the old lady, he began to attack the old lady, saying that she was a liar, that it was impossible for a human to live to 160 years old, and that she happened to be Washington's slave, and that anyone who believed her must be a fool.

After several days of criticizing the old lady in the newspapers, Barnum arranged another batch of articles to refute these attackers from the opposite side, arguing that what the old lady said was reasonable and well-founded, and that she was a living fossil witnessing American history and should be protected by the country.

In this debate, both sides will formally bring up many professional issues, whether they are right or wrong, but it makes many people who have only a superficial understanding of professional knowledge feel as if they can also speak out. And whether the more professional people point out mistakes or put forward their own views, there are always people who can't help but say a few words.

Soon, this debate, which occupied a large amount of space in newspapers, sparked a heated discussion in the entire society.

Medical scientists began to discuss the authenticity of the old lady's age, historians began to discuss the truthfulness of the old lady's stories about Washington's childhood, and even the church began to analyze whether the hymns the old lady sang were the ones from that year.

In a short time, the topic about the old lady spread almost to every corner.

From beginning to end, the article arranged by Barnum did not encourage people to visit the old lady, but this debate involving the whole nation successfully aroused the curiosity of countless people, who came to visit spontaneously and rely on their own eyes to determine whether their views were correct and whether they were as the rumors said.

So far, an extremely standard and successful hype marketing case has been completed.

There is no need to discuss in detail how much money Barnum made from the old lady, but it was still the 19th century, and many modern marketing hypes can still see clear shadows of this case.

Therefore,

When facing the current situation before them again, Luo Hang actually smiled insincerely at the news reports criticizing the Rhodes Island smart bracelet from its professionalism to its resume and other aspects.

Well, and I successfully tricked my little rabbit into giving me a kiss.

……

When Luo Hang was starting to arrange his own public opinion plan, Rhodes Island's Third Underground Engineering Department.

The 23-member special forces team of the Self-Rescue Army is still undergoing special training here.

The team members, who only had a TV as a channel to understand the outside world, didn't know much about the noise on the ground, and their days were still filled with intense training.

However, Ke'er suddenly pulled Lolo excitedly that day.

"Look at this!"

"Ok?"

Lolo looked at what Ke'er excitedly handed over.

It's a photo, and the picture on it is...

Uh, Luo Hang...

And it seemed like the close-up of Luo Hang talking on the show that they had seen on TV.

Because the shot was taken from one of the scenes, it looks pretty handsome.

"Miss Aleda got this for me. I'm going to stick it on the headboard of our bed. With Mr. Luo Hang guarding us, we'll definitely be able to fall asleep easily during our noon nap!"

"Uh,"

Luo Luo looked at Ke Er, who looked so happy and confident, as if she really believed it. His expression was quite strange for a while, but in the end he couldn't bear to affect Ke Er's good mood, so he just sighed helplessly.

"Okay, then it's up to you."

They live in the same dormitory, so I hope the doctor can really protect them...

***

The next day, many people in Victoria discovered that there were a large number of comments on the Internet and in the media that were diametrically opposed to the original criticisms and attacks on Rhodes Island's newly launched Sailing Bracelet.

Many of the remarks raised some professional knowledge that is difficult for ordinary people to access, and even the areas covered were as diverse as those of the critics.

There is no need to study it carefully, many people have already smelled the strong smell of gunpowder.

The media industry naturally became excited as a group. Needless to say, all kinds of reports and remarks that were eager to join in the fun emerged rapidly behind the two main forces like a volcanic eruption.

It wasn't just the media that were excited. The assistant who was in charge of this operation under the order of Duke Caister also got the news immediately and slammed the table.

"Intensify!"

The assistant's instructions were direct and confident.

The people of Rhodes Island actually chose to compete with them in terms of traffic, which was undoubtedly the direction they were least afraid of.

How big is the size of Rhodes Island combined with the Shihuaiya Territory? How big is the size of Duke Caister and his allies?

The channels of both parties are not even on the same level!

They will increase the intensity of Rhodes Island's counterattacks to ensure that the opponent will be suppressed from beginning to end!

The people below received orders and started to get busy. After they started to act, the situation outside did change immediately.

After the strong voices supporting the bracelet emerged, the voices of opposition immediately rose to a higher level. The voices of support rose again, and the voices of opposition continued to rise.

The topic, which had already attracted the attention and participation of many people, was intensified in this way, and the scope of influence suddenly expanded by several levels, almost to the point where you can be forced to hear it even if you don't want to pay attention.

In just a few days, the topic of whether the bracelet's functions were true or false, and even the topic of the debate itself, seemed to fill the streets and alleys, and you could hear people talking about it wherever you went.

"Doctor, is our plan considered a success?"

Rhode Island main ship.

Amiya was excitedly asking Luo Hang in front of the screen.

The large screen displays trending topics from various social platforms and news media, along with the publisher's IP address and related identification information.

"Although we are still at a disadvantage in this debate, the gap between us and the opponent has narrowed compared to the beginning.

Our traffic spending increased by 32%, but our overall traffic increased by 109%!

Amiya looked very happy, and her long ears were shaking.

The little rabbit pointed at the screen.

"For example, the posts supporting us that received the most likes and comments in the thread weren't posted by people we arranged, but rather spontaneously by people from conservative factions, the Territory of Wellington, and even the Territory of Caister."

Amiya pointed her slender fingertips at several places on the screen, and the content on it was indeed very eye-catching.

[Victoria was once a powerful country. We have the most fertile land in Terra, the most central location in the world, countless honors and advanced technology.

The walls of Londinium have stood for hundreds of years without being breached by the enemy. The towering defensive wall is lined with main and secondary guns, and the large and small garrison guns can penetrate the armor of a high-speed warship with one shot.

Our Steam Knights have crushed countless enemy plots and struck fear into the hearts of countless villains hiding in the shadows who were trying to covet our glory.

Guys,

I believe, and I have reason to believe, that our country has the ability and the qualifications to develop world-leading technologies.

If our Victoria today is not what it is now, perhaps some things will appear before the world in a more acceptable way, and more laden with flowers and praise.

I don't have the professional knowledge of scientists, nor the sharp eyesight of mages, but as an ordinary member of this country, I am willing to believe and want to believe all this!

[In fact, most people may have some misunderstandings about the energy imaging in the Originium technique. The energy from the Originium is not as docile and obedient as we think, just like they never show any mercy to mineral patients.

It is not impossible to use the energy-shaping spell to form a stable, detailed image that can be touched by outsiders, but it is difficult to achieve this goal through the spell trigger unit.

The existing magic devices, even the most eye-catching one displayed at the last Tremont Technology Expo held in Columbia, can only create images that are clearly blurred and rough, which is a clear difference from the images we saw in a certain live broadcast content.

also……】

From the perspective of chip technology...

【exist……】

“It does look pretty good.”

Luo Hang also smiled and pinched the happy little rabbit's face, getting a cute "hehe" smile in return.

Amiya looked back at the screen.

Many comments, long or short, are placed in the most prominent position at the forefront of various hot topics, and cover various angles from personal feelings to professional levels, and have received extremely high likes and comments.

Regardless of whether these people sincerely want to stand on their side or want to get their own benefits from this huge traffic, these people have undoubtedly become a force belonging to them.

"what?"

Amiya blinked.

Several pages on the screen suddenly refreshed automatically, and then the comments she was reading suddenly disappeared.
