The Facebook event hadn't even started yet, but this computer company had already become famous.
This made all the companies that had such an idea but were a step too late regret.
Even some world-renowned companies had to seriously consider competing for the remaining nine exclusive opportunities this month.
It was foreseeable that the second company to qualify would also be covered by the media in the world's capital countries.
Unfortunately, things had completely exceeded most people's expectations. For some companies that had ambitions to break out of the country and enter the world, money was no longer a problem.
.....
The purpose of the TV station's connection with the audience exceeded expectations. William, who was in a good mood, chatted with the netizens for more than two hours and didn't end the connection until after ten o 'clock in the evening.
Because of the signal transmission, ITV earned nearly 50 million pounds in cash alone.
Not to mention the 200 million viewers who watched one channel directly, which brought in a lot of advertising revenue and increased popularity.
In just one day, the market value of ITV had increased by hundreds of millions of pounds. When William returned from Mars, the audience would form a viewing habit and the market value would probably double.
As for the later program plan, William already had some preliminary plans in mind.
When the live broadcast on Mars ended, the ratings of the TV station would inevitably decline. When the stock price fell, he would take the opportunity to buy a large amount of shares, control the TV station, and then come up with a program.
As for Facebook, there would be a lucky draw for the next month.
The website could not only chat with friends, but also display oneself on the website to attract fans' attention and comments. It shouldn't be difficult to retain most people.
With hundreds of millions of registered users, plus the fact that the live broadcast ended today, there would still be more than 40 million people online on Facebook.
Now, even if William offered 10 billion pounds, it wasn't that no one would dare to take the gamble.
But if he sold too many shares, William wouldn't be willing to part with them. If he sold too few shares, it would only be a few hundred million pounds, which wouldn't be enough to burn for half a year.
So, he decided to wait for a month and see how the event turned out.
If it didn't work, he would burn the one billion pounds himself.
After turning off the live broadcast, William looked at the potatoes in the spaceship.
In fact, there wasn't much to see. It had only been three days, and at most, the roots had grown in the ground.
It would take at least 20 days for them to sprout, unless he used plant magic on the roots. Only then could they grow in a short time.
He opened the portal and returned to the basement of the castle. Pretending that he was still on Mars, he instructed Abigail to recruit the staff of Facebook.
Although Facebook would not have any problems with Sunday managing it, the company was already facing the whole society. It might even go public in the future to scam money.
The departments of an internet company, servers, and so on had to be equipped.
As for the reason why Facebook could go public, to be honest, unless Facebook did not intend to enter other countries, it was difficult to avoid going public.
There was still a big difference between an internet company and an industrial company. Not only would it not make money during the development stage, but it would also burn money.
Even if William didn't care about burning ten billion pounds, if you didn't let others participate and form a body of interest, it was equivalent to pushing the majority of people to the opposite side of the competition.
The right thing to do was to pull one faction in and beat the other.
Of course, not just anyone could board William's ship. At the very least, you had to show some actual value.
If they were useless or could not keep up with the company's growth in the future, he would not be soft-hearted. He would definitely find an opportunity to kick them out.
This was also the reason why many investors, who had invested in the company a long time ago, did not appear on the list of shareholders of the listed company when the company went public.
After instructing Abby to recruit people and set up the company, it was already past midnight. William washed up and went to bed.
He did not know that the old Mr. Lai Jianguo, who had been in London for the past two years to assist Abby in appraising the cultural relics of the Celestial Dynasty,
Just as he was falling asleep, a phone call woke him up.
The old man, who did not sleep well, picked up the phone angrily.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Professor Lai, hello. I'm very sorry to wake you up so late. I'm a staff member of the foreign affairs department of the Celestial Dynasty in London."
Hearing that it was someone from the Celestial Dynasty, although he did not know whether it was true or not, the old man's attitude was much better. He would listen to what the other party had to say first.
"Oh, hello, hello. What's the matter?"
"It's like this, Professor Lai. Half an hour ago, we received a call from the Celestial Dynasty.
The content was to ask for our help in contacting the Devonshire family.
However, when the call was made to the Devonshire Castle in Oxford, the person who answered the phone said that Madam Abigail and Madam Lena Devonshire did not have time to meet outsiders at the moment.
It would take too much time to find the English authorities, so we had no choice but to ask for your help. Take us to Oxford Castle. "
After hearing this, Professor Lai said noncommittally, "Well, wait a moment. I'll ask about the situation first and call you back."
After hanging up the phone, he confirmed it with someone he knew.
If he was not mistaken, the person who had just called was really a foreign affairs staff member, and his identity was an adviser.
Professor Lai thought for a few seconds and said, "Don't you know that William Devonshire is trapped on Mars?
What exactly is the matter that requires you to meet Abigail and Lena Devonshire when they are most guarded against the outside world? "
"Of course, those of us who work in London know about the situation you're talking about.
However, there are a few companies in the country that are eager to get in touch with the Devonshire family to discuss the qualifications for Facebook's special event in a few days. "
"That special event that costs 10 million USD in three days." After Lai Jianguo asked, the person on the other end of the phone said happily,
"It's good that you've watched today's interactive live broadcast."
"Domestic companies that are interested in entering the international market want to use this opportunity to push their products directly to customers all over the world.
Therefore, they hope that our London foreign affairs office can help to set up a bridge and talk to the Devonshire family. "
"Well, that's a good idea." Lai Jianguo thought for a few seconds, "What price does the domestic company plan to pay? Is it 10 million USD or 30 million USD?
If it's 10 million USD, with my understanding of William in the past two years, you can tell the people in the country to forget about it.
I don't know how much the production cost of the 50,000 computers that the computer company took out, but the price of 40 million USD is already 40 million USD.
So, after the special event, if it's less than 30 million USD, William Devonshire won't even care about us. "
"Haha, don't worry, Professor. The domestic companies have also guessed what you said. As long as we don't have to take out USD directly,
"If it's a product, our company still has the courage to take out 200 to 300 million RMB worth of products.
"So, the lowest standard they gave me this time is 200 million. If William Devonshire can still do the same as tonight,
"If he personally introduces our company to the world, the amount will immediately rise to 300 million, and, and,"
"Stop, stop, stop."
Professor Lai impatiently interrupted the other side of the phone. Some people who thought too highly of themselves.
He kindly reminded them, "If I were you, I would never talk about money.
Instead, I would directly tell Abigail the number of products.
For example, 100,000 units? "
