After listening to William's words, Wilson's forehead was covered in sweat as he stammered.
"Are you planning to use our reputation as a bait to attract all the ordinary people to step on us?"
"That's right, but I already said that you'll only show us what you're good at," William reminded them in a bad mood.
"It's not like we're asking you to fight for the number one spot in the world. We're just showing the positive side of the aristocrats to the outside world.
Even if you can't compete with ordinary sports, can't you compete with etiquette, horseback riding, golf, and cricket? "
"That's easy for you to say," Wilson held his head and said without confidence, "Even if there are some powerful people among us, can we be compared to people of the same age all over the world?
Once the competitive spirit of ordinary people is aroused, they will definitely trample on us until we lose all face. It might even be a one-sided beating. "
Looking at Wilson who had lost his will to fight, William said angrily, "Damn it, I can't wait to beat you up.
There were so many aristocratic children, but none of them were good in a certain aspect?
I'm not asking you to compete with the world champion. Even if you can't compete in other aspects, can't you compete in horsemanship? "
"That's hard to say," Wilson said helplessly after a moment of silence. "Most of the aristocratic movements have been popularized.
Many children from rich families start to learn horsemanship at the age of five or six. We might not be able to beat them.
After all, compared to the number of nobles, there were simply too many rich people.
Plus, many nobles can't even be considered rich, so how can they compare? "
"I …"
William was so angry that he almost cursed out loud, but what Wilson said was also the truth.
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment. He could only settle for the next best thing. "Then find a reason, like a charity competition or an academic discussion.
Diluting the atmosphere of the competition and highlighting the sportsmanship of participation and hard work.
Let people feel that nobles aren't just a bunch of people waiting to die. Some of us can also work hard and study hard. "
"Alright, alright, that's more like it. Actually, there are quite a few of us who are passionate about sports," Wilson heaved a sigh of relief and said, "As long as it doesn't cause conflict, there should be people who participate."
"Hmm?"
Hearing Wilson's words, William could not help but be stunned.
He suddenly understood that it was not that Wilson did not want to compete with him, nor was it that there were no capable people, nor was it that he did not want to follow him to earn money. Instead, it was because he was afraid that being too high-profile would cause the entire society to dislike him.
After all, the situation of the nobles was indeed not very good. However, William only cared about whether he could stir up a topic on the new website.
He didn't care about anything else other than keeping the young people, the main force of the internet, on the website.
"I'm warning you, Wilson. If any of the noblemen's descendants are messing around on the website, I'm warning you.
If you guys can't do anything, then our previous agreement will be voided. "
William said with a straight face, "It's not that easy to follow me and make money.
In my estimation, the market value of this website will be at least 10 billion pounds in five years, and if it doesn't reach 100 billion in ten years,
Taking all of the federal countries in England, the social market of young people, and occupying half of the European market, there was no point in keeping it.
In the future, the survival of internet companies will be the winner takes all. "
"A hundred billion pounds in ten years?"
Hearing this, Wilson was so excited that he started to stutter.
"That, that, that 5% is five billion pounds?"
"What do you think?" William said, "If it weren't for the fact that England is my base, and that I myself am a hereditary aristocrat, I wouldn't have been so arrogant.
Now that I can use you guys, do you think this money will be so easy to earn?
So, I'm warning you, if you want to be worth a billion, then you'd better manage those noblemen who want to hitch a ride and become billionaires.
You're not the only ones who can be talked about. If you can't satisfy me, I'll look for celebrities.
Maybe the price will only be tens of millions of dollars.
Moreover, if you guys can't be of use to me in the future, I can't guarantee that I won't dilute your shares before the listing. "
"Understood, I'll carefully choose the right people, and I won't let the black sheep slip in."
Wilson felt that William's ability to make money was higher than the prestige that his grandfather had left in his heart for more than ten years.
After all, not everyone could start from scratch and have a net worth of tens of billions of dollars in just two years.
Even if there were people who had the same ability as William, they would never bring them along to make money.
At the same time, if it weren't for the fact that William was too young and couldn't chat with other adult noblemen, he wouldn't have taken a fancy to this group of young noblemen either.
Wilson, who was abnormally excited by the bright future of money, hurriedly left the space center after chatting with William about some details.
He called his butler, lawyer, and confidant over with a phone call.
He seriously dealt with the matter of investing in the independent television station that William had asked him to.
He knew very well that if he failed to invest in the television station, he wouldn't have a share in the website.
William pulled Wilson in to reduce the chances of Abby and the others appearing in public, so that they wouldn't be used to threaten him.
Another reason was to return King Philip's favor.
During this time, although Philip didn't publicly support William, he didn't want anything to happen to him, so he secretly helped to get rid of a lot of people and forces who had designs on Lena.
From the point of maintaining the aristocratic system, William absolutely believed that Philip wouldn't want to see him, who was already somewhat the spokesperson of the English aristocracy, die young.
Since they were allies and had already expressed their goodwill with practical actions, he should also give an appropriate response.
After hanging up the communication with the space center, William opened the portal and threw the body of the alien to planet X17 for Sunday to deal with.
He opened the door and returned to the basement of Oxford Castle. He checked the website that Sunday, who was authorized to secretly check the existing website code of the Blue Star, combined with his requirements, and created.
A few hours later, a website called Facebook was successfully registered, and as soon as it opened, nearly half of the empty servers in major countries around the world were rented.
William thought that there would be one billion users online, but from the results of Sunday's survey,
In this era, although there were billions of people watching live television, the number of netizens was only about 500 million.
For the time being, Facebook didn't need to increase the number of online users to one billion.
After a night of testing, Sunday, who had learned to use cloud technology, reported.
"Sir, the rented servers and our free server group are already able to support 100 million people online at the same time.
If necessary, we can also rent nearly a thousand large servers in more than a dozen major countries under the limit, enabling 200 million people to be online at the same time.
However, the website's chat and comment functions can only be done with simple text replies.
More functions need to be tested continuously, and the servers and source code upgraded.
If we rush it, the network technology of the entire society won't be able to keep up with our needs. "
William, who had personally tested it for a night, was very clear that Facebook's online social networking was actually very simple, even crude.
However, other social networking functions were also at the stage of simple text communication.
Let alone 100 million users online at the same time, even if there were one million users online at the same time, they would be considered industry leaders.
