With so many people on the internet calling for Wilson to show up, the matter quickly alerted the English royal family and the staff who dealt with public relations.
When King Philip received the report, he was shocked at first, but when he heard that the matter was related to William, he quickly calmed down.
He could not help but wonder if this was the work of his grandson, Wilson, and William working together to do it.
He called Wilson and found out that the botanical doctor who posted the post was only twenty-seven years old and was in his first year at Oxford University.
Not only did he have a good relationship with Wilson, he was also the heir of a baron's family.
Without needing Wilson to explain anything, Philip knew that this matter was not out of control.
Philip chuckled and reminded Wilson with a few words before hanging up the phone.
With the help of the staff, he sat in front of the computer and opened Facebook.
After half an hour, he learned about the website from some channels. At the moment, the number of people online at the same time had reached more than thirty million.
Moreover, the think tank estimated that this was because the time zones of different countries were different. Many countries were still in the middle of the night.
After seven or eight hours, when the sun rose on the other side of the Blue Planet, the number of people participating together might even exceed a hundred million.
Otherwise, the whole world would probably be discussing what William had said to mislead them.
The media would definitely not let go of this topic that everyone was concerned about. They kept digging into what William had said in the past.
Moreover, even if the truth was dug out, before William publicly admitted it, the media would probably invite various experts to refute it.
Anyway, they would do whatever they could to attract the audience.
In the process, whether it was praise or slander, the result was that Facebook would be a free national advertisement in the eyes of the whole world.
After all, these topics were piled up with real money.
Just the ten thousand bottles of Latour and Margo's red wine alone was worth twenty million dollars, not to mention the hundred grams of gold coins.
If one hundred thousand people guessed correctly, apart from the red wine, William would have to pay ninety thousand gold coins, which was worth a total of 180 million dollars.
This was literally giving away money to those who were lucky.
For ordinary people, they could participate without any cost just by logging into the website and registering their own information.
Not many people would reject this kind of thing that did not take much time and energy and cost nothing.
At the same time, Latour and Margaux wineries would become famous all over the world. They would enter the eyes of ordinary people from the wealthy class.
In a few years' time, it should not be a problem for the value to double.
That would be 1.5 to 1.6 billion USD, which was far more than the 200 million USD that William could possibly pay.
Thinking of this, Philip sighed with a strange expression. William, this little b * stard, stayed on Mars, but he could still set off a trend of public discussion on the Blue Planet.
It was foreseeable that with William's character, he would not just make a bet.
Looking at the current situation, Facebook would not lack traffic at all before the results were announced.
Now, he was deliberately stirring up a topic to attract the interest of all the spectators participating in the bet.
If the content was rich enough, it would not be difficult to get tens of millions or hundreds of millions of people online at the same time, and billions or even billions of people to register.
Needless to say, from now on, William wanted to raise funds for the development of the website.
There will be people waving checks just to get involved.
However, Philip, who knew William very well, knew that if he wanted to take advantage of William at this time,
William would not be able to offer more than 10% of the shares unless it was valued at tens of billions of pounds. Otherwise, he should just go back to sleep.
Thinking of this, Philip could not help but take out his phone again and call Wilson.
When he learned that William had promised to leave 5% of the shares for Wilson and his friends in the first round of fundraising, Philip sighed with relief.
Philip gave Wilson a few words of advice before hanging up the phone regretfully. He could not help but think about how to obtain more shares of the website.
At one o 'clock in the afternoon, the shareholders of England's Independent Television Station were very excited to hear the report from their subordinates.
During the low ratings period in the morning, there were more than five million TVs locked onto their channel.
It was estimated that by night, more than ten million TVs in England alone would be able to watch.
In this way, there would be about ninety percent of the audience in England watching the live broadcast.
Just the revenue from advertising alone would be equivalent to ten days of the past, not to mention the invisible growth in popularity and market share.
However, just as everyone was happy, the operations director of the TV station reminded them that William would not be live broadcasting all day.
The best way to retain the audience was to let William talk to the audience directly through their TV station.
If the technology allowed, it would be best to let the audience come directly to the TV station's live broadcast room and talk to William face to face.
Or they could have a lucky draw and give out some Martian items as prizes.
For ordinary people, even if it was ordinary things like red metal sand and rocks from Mars, they would definitely be interested in them.
If it was a whole piece of gold ore, it would definitely make the English audience go crazy to participate.
This way, the matter of William and Wilson investing together was achieved smoothly without any obstacles.
Moreover, Wilson played a trick and took the opportunity to raise the price, forcing the shareholders of the TV station to transfer 36% of their shares.
William's 33% share remained unchanged, and he used 40 million pounds to get 3% of the shares.
He also obtained the qualifications to enter the board of directors.
This was something that was beneficial to William. After Wilson cleverly called Lena and asked Sunday to pass the message to William,
He did not stop Wilson.
According to yesterday's share price, 3% of the shares actually cost 42 million pounds.
However, the shareholders of the ITV station thought that it was Wilson who facilitated their cooperation with William, so the 42 million pounds was considered as Wilson's contribution fee.
As soon as the agreement was signed, both parties began to discuss how to retain the audience and how to make them form a viewing habit.
Wilson suggested waiting for William to return to London from Mars before discussing further plans.
However, the recent viewing plan could be carried out first.
At four o 'clock in the afternoon, William finished his live broadcast of his day on Mars. Before the broadcast ended, he smiled and asked everyone to pay attention to the English ITV program. There would be surprises waiting for them.
This time, not only the English audience continued to pay attention to the ITV station.
In other Commonwealth countries, viewers who could receive the ITV station via satellite also began to switch to the ITV station.
Half an hour later, the ITV station, whose viewership was increasing by thousands per second, appeared on all channels.
They had already invited Wilson to answer questions for the world on the live broadcast channel at 8 o 'clock in the evening.
If possible, he would even have a direct conversation with William on Mars.
As soon as this news came out, the ITV station received William's transmission of the space wonders and meteorites during the spacecraft's voyage to the Moon and Mars.
Not only did the existing audience stay, but the new number of people increased again without any surprise.
