"Damn it."
He casually threw the potato the size of a coin into the weighing box and the number immediately changed to 76381 grams.
Fortunately, the website showed that only 4,000 people guessed the number correctly, and 8 million dollars was not enough to satisfy the audience's desire to make William bleed.
The audience clamored again, demanding that William continue to check the remaining flower pots.
If he wasn't facing a worldwide audience, William would definitely yell at them to get lost.
However, sometimes, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing for a celebrity to suffer.
Not to mention anything else, after the answer was announced, the number of viewers decreased by more than 300 million. However, when he started digging again, the number directly increased to more than 100 million.
As for the other 200 million viewers, they must have changed the channel or turned off the TV.
However, with a new attraction, the TV station was not stupid. They put up text advertisements all over the channel to attract those who changed the channel to watch again.
Therefore, while William was hesitating, the number of viewers was already slowly increasing.
However, William would not slap himself in the face again and again. He took off the armor's gloves and personally went to the soil to search.
Digging was because of the bet. Even if he didn't want to dig, he had to dig another side to show fairness.
However, the matter of guessing the weight was to attract the attention of the public. Therefore, even if there were undeveloped potatoes that were left out, they were all directly put into the storage space.
If he made a mistake once, it could be said that he was negligent. However, if he made consecutive mistakes, he would be stupid.
Moreover, every time he found one more, unless William admitted that he had won the award, the people who guessed it before would definitely not be grateful to him. It would be a light punishment if they didn't curse him to death.
Therefore, the soil in the 40 flower pots were all turned over. The result was unsurprisingly, not as the audience expected.
Seeing that the soil in each flower pot had been searched twice, the audience could only accept that the final number of winners was 36,000.
After washing his hands, William smiled and said, "Fortunately, I only made a mistake once. Otherwise, I would have been embarrassed today.
The 36,000 winners also cost me 10,000 bottles of red wine and 26,000 Devonshire gold coins. And the value of these gold coins? "
After calculating the value of the gold coins, William frowned and asked in disbelief, "Hmm? It's only 52 million dollars? "
William, who was frowning, pretended to recite the calculations in a low voice, but his expression quickly became happy.
"I thought that giving out 100,000 gold coins was normal, but I didn't expect you guys to be so weak. More than two billion people participated, and only 30,000 people guessed correctly?
If I hadn't been careless, the final result would have been around 4,000 people. "
At this point, William suddenly realized something and said painfully, "God, if it weren't for my negligence, these four thousand people could have shared ten thousand bottles of red wine, and the profit would be two and a half times more than now.
And I, a fool, also lost 26,000 gold coins because of a low-level mistake. That's 52 million US dollars? "
"Haha." Hearing William's words, everyone was stunned at first. Then they reacted and recalled the previous rules. If there were less than ten thousand people, the red wine would be divided equally.
Only those with more than ten thousand people had the chance to choose gold coins.
Thinking about it this way, it was precisely because of a potato that was only ten grams and not fully developed that William lost 26,000 gold coins.
Haha, this is going to be fun. Needless to say, this potato will definitely make headlines all over the world. There is no need to think about the title, 2.6 tons of gold is only equal to a potato.
This time, the audience who felt unbalanced immediately felt at ease.
Although 52 million US dollars was nothing to William, no matter how rich a person was, losing such a large sum of money because of a small oversight would definitely make him unhappy.
Not to mention anything else, 50 million was enough to buy a private jet with a long journey.
"Damn it, 50 million is enough for me to buy a football superstar, or add hundreds of acres of land to Chelsea's training ground in the suburbs of London."
This time, the Chelsea fans all over the world looked at William's vexed expression and became frustrated.
"No." William rolled his eyes and said, "It's our first time playing this kind of game. We're too cautious. Why don't we play again?"
As soon as his voice fell, the word "agree" was all over Facebook.
Some people immediately understood what William meant when he said that they were too cautious.
They directly posted that the number of guesses could no longer be accurate to grams, but directly calculated by kilograms.
"By kilograms? Do you think I'm an idiot? "
William rolled his eyes at the live broadcast ball, "Today, there are more than seven million people who guessed 76 kilograms.
Do you know how much money a hundred grams of gold coins is seven million?
14 billion US dollars, are you trying to take half of the cash in my bank? "
Moreover, the weight of the second potato would not fluctuate by 20 kilograms, so the number of people who guessed correctly was definitely more than 100 million.
If I agree to it, in forty-five days, I will go from being one of the richest people in the world to being a super poor person with negative assets of hundreds of billions of dollars. "
"So, don't think about such a good thing. If you want to play, then be fair."
After saying that, William ignored the heckling netizens and lowered his head to ponder.
After waiting for a few seconds, under the gaze of billions of viewers all over the world, his frown suddenly loosened.
He smiled and said, "I can't always be the only one who pays and doesn't get anything in return.
Therefore, there must be a prerequisite for those who want to play this time.
From tomorrow onwards, only those who have registered on Facebook and paid one US dollar for the first charge experience card are eligible to participate in the next game.
Since the requirements have been raised, the rules of the game have to be changed.
Those who guessed accurately to the gram will still get a hundred gram gold coin worth 2,000 US dollars, and those who guessed within ten grams will get a ten gram gold coin worth 200 US dollars.
One US dollar can be exchanged for 200 or even 2,000 US dollars. Whether you want to play or not, it's up to you.
Also, the potatoes that I will plant this time will be randomly selected from the harvested potatoes and will be directly planted under your supervision.
As for the yield, it will be up to God.
In any case, in this game, other than ensuring that the potatoes have the necessary moisture, I will not take care of them as carefully as before the first harvest. "
Damn Devonshire.
Hearing William say that he would not take care of them carefully, everyone who wanted to play again could not help but curse.
If they were allowed to grow, there would be too many variables. It was even possible that the potatoes would not sprout, let alone the volcanic ash soil that had already been planted once.
Whether the remaining nutrients would be enough to meet the normal needs of the potatoes was a problem.
If William did not apply fertilizer, the yield would definitely be less than the first time.
However, Facebook was now a necessary part of many people's daily social interactions.
In the past 40 days, nearly 20 million people had applied for a five US dollar monthly membership.
This membership function was created by William by referring to the social media apps that he had used before.
It was not very advanced, but it was definitely better than other software in this era.
After William made his decision, the number of people who would pay for the first charge in the next three days was directly calculated in hundreds of millions.
