Under Sunday's operation, Facebook had borrowed the code of most websites and chat programs from around the world. It was officially completed and was just waiting to go online.
As long as the code was not copied, there would not be much of a problem if it could be optimized.
For Sunday, it was impossible for him to innovate and create a new program from scratch.
However, using ready-made program code to find various advantages and disadvantages and let him optimize it was definitely better than hundreds of network engineers.
The next day, William put on the space armor and opened the portal to return to the Mars spaceship. He ordered Sunday to do the final test and make sure that everything was normal.
He ordered the live broadcast ball to start the live broadcast and the signal was directly connected to the headquarters of the English Independent Television in London.
Yesterday, Wilson did not sleep at all. He brought his team and the negotiation team of William's shareholding in Moonshedd.
They were bargaining with the Independent Television about the shareholding agreement.
The shareholders of the Independent Television were having a board meeting to discuss how to obtain the right to broadcast the Mars live broadcast. They were still having a headache about how to move William.
They did not expect to receive the news that Wilson and William's negotiation team had come directly to their door.
While they were overjoyed, they could not help but be confused.
Logically, if they were in William's position, they would definitely choose Beep Beep C TV station which had a wider signal coverage.
They would not choose a regional media like theirs which could only be played in England and a limited number of federal countries.
The directors who were already surprised and happy calmed down. They thought that William was planning to buy their company.
However, the truth was once again beyond their expectations.
After the introductions and pleasantries, Wilson said that he and William only wanted to buy 33% of the TV station's shares for 500 million pounds.
If the negotiation was successful today, as long as the shareholding agreement was signed, the Independent Television would be responsible for William's Mars live broadcast signal tomorrow.
This made the shareholders of the Independent Television extremely excited.
These capitalists who had been in the media business all year round knew very well that once this happened, the TV station's ratings in the British Isles would directly exceed 70%.
If William did something amazing on Mars or made some discoveries, the ratings might even reach 90%.
Even if it fell after the peak, it would definitely be much better than the original situation where it could only occupy 30% of the ratings.
Therefore, it didn't take long for both parties to reach an agreement on the matter of investing in the company. All that was left was the specific price, the number of shares, and William's rights on the board of directors after investing in the company.
To be honest, the 33% figure was right at the bottom line of the shareholders' hearts.
Even though William had a veto right after he officially became a shareholder.
However, if William were to act recklessly, the other directors would be able to do something about it.
With their interests at stake, it was not difficult to get 51% of the shares to overrule William's decision.
If he could make money, a lot of money, then even if William wanted the TV station to have no professional ethics, it would not be a problem.
After a whole night of negotiations, the shareholders of the television station were faced with the negotiation team of Wilson and William who did not relent at all.
In the end, they could only propose one condition, and that was to let them try the broadcast of the three English islands for a day.
If the viewership ratings could reach 60% and above, the contract would be signed immediately.
Therefore, when William started his live broadcast today, viewers from other countries continued to watch as usual.
In England, the viewers who were used to watching William's live broadcasts on Beep C and other television stations were shocked.
When they realized that these channels were not broadcasting what they wanted to watch, they had no choice but to switch channels to see if other channels were broadcasting live broadcasts.
But the channel kept changing, and in the end, it was only on Independent TV Channel One. William was already introducing the newly established Facebook to the audience.
Anyone could participate in the bet on the weight of the potatoes as long as they registered on the website and left their ID number.
Looking at the website URL that was constantly scrolling on the top of the television screen, the English viewers were attracted by the red wine of Latour and Chateau Margaux, and the two thousand dollars and hundred grams of gold coins.
At this time, they were not in the mood to pay attention to why only England's ITV could broadcast live broadcasts.
While watching the live broadcast, they turned on the computer, entered the URL, and entered Facebook.
At first glance, they felt that the website was very clean, unlike other websites with so many advertising strips.
Most of the netizens only intended to enter the numbers and ID number, then turn off the website to watch the live broadcast on TV.
Unexpectedly, the most conspicuous place on the website showed a post called "Common Sense Mistakes in Guessing the Weight of the Mars Potato".
The netizens who did not know how much weight they had to guess could not help but click on it curiously.
After reading through it, they found that the article was written by a Ph.D. in botany from Oxford University named Mock.
Although the entire content of the post contained a lot of professional knowledge, most people could not understand it.
But the most important theme was still understood, and they could not help but feel lucky that there was someone who understood it to explain it.
Otherwise, most of them would definitely use the Blue Planet's production to calculate the weight of the potatoes.
According to the Ph.D. in botany, if William planted potatoes on Mars, either he would not have a big harvest, or the weight of the potatoes would be much lower than the Blue Planet's production, or even zero.
This was because they did not know whether the volcanic ash on Mars was suitable for planting, nor did they know how much nutrients and minerals the volcanic ash contained.
Therefore, the probability of a high yield or a poor harvest was much higher than the probability of a normal yield.
In the end, the Ph.D. who revealed that he knew Prince Wilson revealed that he had personally called Wilson.
He had even called Wilson personally. According to Wilson, Wilson had said that,
With his understanding of William, when he watched the live broadcast before, he had noticed that William had sinisterly said something to mislead the audience.
Specifically, the Ph.D. mocked Wilson, saying that he was afraid of William's revenge and did not dare to say the news.
The audience who had finished reading the article had not thought about what had misled them.
On the computer screen, people began to comment under the article, and some people asked for help. How did William mislead them?
For the sake of the red wine from the five major wineries and the hundred grams of gold coins, some people either directly commented on the discussion or silently looked through all the comments to find useful information.
But because there was no video left and they could only rely on their memories, most people could not remember what the sentence was.
After a few minutes, before the few people with good memory and strong logical thinking could post.
Someone posted a post on the website's homepage. The content was to call everyone together to start a topic that asked Wilson to come out and explain.
Now, even if some people thought of the truth of William's misleading words, most of the netizens still responded to the post's call.
They were not afraid of asking Wilson to come out and explain in person.
After two hours, this post was sent by no less than a million people. Wilson, we want to know the truth.
