    "It's time for us to do something!"

    In the early morning, Wang Lei stood on the steps next to the stadium and said loudly to Luca and the others.  In front of him was an empty stadium and a quiet, desolate street.  A rusty road sign hung down on a pillar on the side of the road, its arrow still pointing to the abandoned steel factory ahead.

    "Rex, what's your new plan?"

    "The big devil is too arrogant, he should be taught a lesson."

    "Tell me, if you have any good ideas, we will support you." Everyone looked at Wang Lei and said in a hurry.  Like Wang Lei, they were often harassed by Hawke's "women's brigade", and they all felt suffocated.  Especially when they see Hawke's momentum rising, they feel even more aggrieved. This aggrievedness can be turned into motivation, or it can also make them disappointed and discouraged.

    "Yes, our voice is too low. Many people can't hear it. We have to make a louder voice. We have to go to newspapers! Go to TV! Let more people see it." Wang Lei pointed out  He nodded and waved his fist.  He had thought of things too simply before. The most difficult thing in the world might be to get others to change their inherent prejudices.

    "Oh, it's very cool to be on TV!" Luka twisted his big butt and made a bicycle motion on the spot, being the first to express his support.

    ¡°But we have no money!¡±

    "Five hundred dollars is only enough for half a page of advertising for a week"

    ¡°Ten seconds of TV commercials.¡±

    ¡°When it comes to advertising, we can¡¯t beat Hawke!¡±

    "Rex" Emily looked at Wang Lei worriedly, fearing that he would make an impulsive decision out of anger.  Five hundred dollars can print tens of thousands of flyers, but newspaper advertising will be very inconspicuous and the effect may not be good.

    Wang Lei smiled and shook his head. He seemed to have already made up his mind: "Who said we want to advertise?"

    "If you don't advertise? How can you get it in the newspaper?"

    "News! I'm talking about news. An eighteen-year-old boy is running for mayor of a small town. Isn't it very newsy? Although he is not the youngest in the history of the United States, at least in the Pittsburgh area, it is not yet available, right?  Wang Lei raised his finger and said with a smile.

    "Wow, this is a good idea. It's more interesting than the news that Mr. Smith's Labrador on Seventh Avenue gave birth to seven puppies!" A beautiful smile broke out on Emily's face, and she added today's "  The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, a newspaper that frequently saw Hawke's campaign ads, derided her.

    "Yes, maybe we can make headlines!" Wang Lei was in a good mood. He should have thought of this method a long time ago. However, it is really difficult to change people's opinions. He originally thought that as long as his method was good and he sincerely  If you do good things in the town, you will win the election. Now I know that is not the case. The reality is cruel.

    ¡°Pittsburgh Post-Gazette headline, cool!¡±

    "Yes, the chance of appearing in the newspaper is very high, although the chance of being on the front page is smaller, only half!"

    "That's enough, isn't it?" Wang Lei looked at Colin, who also nodded: "Yes, that's enough, you can give it a try."

    ¡°What¡¯s even better is that it doesn¡¯t cost money!¡± the smart Wang Yang said happily.

    "The effect of news will be better than advertising." Douglas also said.

    "Then, leave this matter to me. I can use my father's connections to see if I can contact the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette or other media!" Emily said happily, with her long blond hair on the back of her head.  After wandering around, she could finally help Wang Lei. This would be an extremely important attack.

    Wang Leiping raised his arm, pointed at Emily with two fingers, and said with a smile: "Of course, you are our press officer, and you have no shirking responsibility."

    "Giggle, I'm willing to help!" Emily smiled and nodded.

    "Then, I think we should make our own newspaper" Wang Lei continued as he looked at his friends who became elated because they had found hope again.

    "Oh, run your own newspaper? How is that possible?"

    Wang Lei¡¯s words shocked everyone again, but some people were full of confidence in him. Emily smiled and asked: "Rex, do you have a good idea again? Tell me quickly."

    "Yes, it should be a good idea. We can make a tabloid with eight pages in four pages. One page will be used for campaign content, one page will be used for community projects, and one page will be used for leisure and entertainment, such as various humorous stories. The front page will be  Comprehensive, it can be about current affairs or something else," Wang Lei explained his specific plan to everyone.

    ¡°This is not difficult, we have done it in school, right?¡± Wang Lei smiled and blinked.

    Whether it¡¯s Braddock¡¯s elementary school or Woodland Hills School District¡¯sIn middle school and high school, the school has its own tabloid. Teachers are responsible for guidance. Students act as reporters, editors and typewriters, and contact printing. The newspaper is distributed among students. Wang Lei, Emily, Colin and others all have this aspect.  experience of.

    "However, this requires money, and five hundred dollars can't do much."

    "It doesn't matter, the money is gone. We can continue to think of ways to raise it. If everyone doesn't object, then it's settled. Let's do two issues first and take a look." Wang Lei said, and the others looked at each other and did not raise any objections.  It's just a tabloid, not a big deal.

    "Now, it's time for us to fight back." Luka quirked his arms in a funny way, showing off his arm muscles.

    Wang Lei was not so optimistic. He shook his head: "We want to do more publicity, but we also need to have some actual results. We can't beat Hawke just by talking."

    In this regard, Wang Lei has always paid attention to the fact that the Braddock Club and the I Love Braddock Volunteer Association have begun to operate, especially volunteers, who have begun to provide services to libraries, medical centers, schools, elderly clubs, etc.  Although the number of people in the service is still relatively small, the effect is being reflected.

    However, volunteer service cannot be Wang Lei's fatal weapon against Hawke. Everyone will only think that he is a young man who is enthusiastic about the community, rather than a leader who can lead the town out of trouble and achieve development.  produce more convincing results.

    If it can be said that Hawke's last term just failed to produce results, then Wang Lei's age and experience have no advantage at all compared to it, and are even more doubtful.

    He had to do something. No one had any good ideas in this regard, so Wang Lei had to put it aside for the time being and continue to discuss the arrangements for other matters.

    "Alvin, our webpage seems to be deserted?" After everyone left and went to different places, Wang Lei deliberately came together with Alvin and asked about the situation of the website.

    Wang Lei asked Alvin to make a personal homepage for him and put some campaign materials on it. It has been online for several days, but now it seems that the effect is minimal.

    In order to let everyone know about this website, they printed the URL on the flyers and told the small town residents they were facing: Our website is there, and you can see more detailed information.

    ? ?Obviously, very few people are interested in this website. They are not interested in turning on their computers, entering the URL into the browser, and viewing the content of the website.

    "Yes, basically no one is watching!" Alvin scratched his head sheepishly.

    ¡°In addition, the response to my updated blog posts on the camworld website and Braddock¡¯s bbs posts was also very lukewarm.¡±

    "Well, that's not surprising. Alvin, don't blame yourself. After all, this is my personal website. It's normal for people not to be interested." Wang Lei saw Alvin's annoyed expression and quickly comforted him.

    "It seems that we have to make some changes and add some content to the web page."

    "I've thought about it too, but what kind of content should be added? News, jokes, essays, novelsor something else?" Alvin listed the things he could think of in distress, and everyone seemed to have read them, but they were all very boring.  It is difficult to guarantee that everyone will read their website, because there are too many similar websites, and they cannot do a better job.

    "Alvin, do you think this will work? Let's make a website like this, similar to the Braddock Club we are doing now, so that everyone can interact on the website. I'm not talking about bbs. bbs is a place to talk. They should  There are other things you can do¡­¡±

    Wang Lei felt that what he said was a little unclear. He waved his hand, paused, and then continued: "This is what I think. This website is like Braddock. Everyone has his own home.  "

    When Wang Lei conceived this website, he wanted to attract more small town residents and let them pay attention to him. However, his influence is limited. If he is the only one, he will not be able to attract everyone to click on this website.  He had to change his perspective and let everyone go online and have such a homepage online, then they would come.

    Once they come to this website, it becomes easier to get them to pay attention to you.

    "Rex, you mean a blog site like Camworld?" Alvin's eyes suddenly shone like small light bulbs looking at Wang Lei.

    "Blog? No, no, no, blog is too complicated. Not everyone is willing to write their diary on the Internet. You know, there have always been very few people writing diaries."

      ¡°I mean, everyone can have a blog-like homepage, but they don¡¯t need to write anything. They can have a circle of friends like icq, but they don¡¯t necessarily have to chat. They can knock on doors and call  Say hello, or even play a prank" Wang Lei said with some lack of confidence. He knew that there were very few people who wrote blogs, and icq was also very unfamiliar to people over thirty years old. This website could only be as simple and relevant as possible.  Only in daily life can it be accepted by everyone, but is it really acceptable?  He wasn't sure.

    "I kind of understand, I think we can give it a try!" Alvin frowned and thought for a while, then he seemed to understand what Wang Lei meant.

    Wang Lei and Alvin continued to exchange the details of the website. Although they still didn¡¯t know what kind of website it was and whether anyone would like it, their intuition told them that it seemed to be very interesting.

    Think about it, everyone has a home on the Internet. Sitting at home every day, you can say hello to your good friends, even tease each other, and tell everyone some interesting things. What an interesting life it is.  .

    Whether it is bbs or icq that everyone knows, or blogs that are rarely used, or personal homepages that technical men are passionate about, none of them seem to be so interesting.

    "The key is simplicity and convenience!" Wang Lei said to Alvin. If it is not simple enough, the elderly small town residents will not know how to use it.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    PS: Does anyone know what kind of website this is?  The novel is written by a family, and its purpose is to bring happiness to everyone. There are some details, so don¡¯t take it too seriously. Anyway, the protagonist must change the world, so changing the fate of a website seems to be nothing. What do you think?  ?  The protagonist's path is to enter politics, and of course he will occasionally cross the line. This is very common in American political culture.
