Chapter 757 Establish a website with the potential of one billion people
Not surprisingly, Richard finally reached a tacit understanding with William.
Although he pretended to think for a long time before giving William a meaningful look,
He said, "There is no rush in this. When you return to Blue Star, you will study the method of cloning dinosaurs. I don't know how long it will take."
Besides, we don’t know whether the House of Representatives will approve it.”
Haha, you can't agree explicitly so as not to leave clues, and then say in the end that it needs approval from the parliament, but capital countries have a lobbying system.
Besides, no one wants to have an accident. William is willing to let England be the legal person for the benefit, just in case.
If a dinosaur riot did occur, causing the death of ordinary people, there would be official support and a clear contract to determine the responsibility for the accident.
Then even if William is the major shareholder, except for the amount of compensation he should pay, other things are not his responsibility.
However, there is no criminal liability, and the civil liability is settled by paying money, but the reputation will still suffer a certain loss.
After watching Richard leave, William looked at Wilson, "I heard you have a girlfriend, how are you getting along with her?"
When he heard that William asked this, Wilson became angry, "Kate has wanted to get to know you many times, but you have been hiding in the manor and made me break her trust several times."
"Come on, I don't believe you are really willing to bring this girl you just met to see me."
Wilson chuckled. He would be a fool to take someone to see William before confirming the relationship.
Maybe after meeting you, the other person will say, "You are a good person, but I love someone else."
No one else needs to think that this is William.
"Let's talk about the theme."
After hearing William's words, Wilson stopped smiling, nodded seriously, and said with a serious look, "Don't worry, I promise to help you."
"Haha", William was amused by Wilson's serious look, "Okay, it's not a big deal to ask you to come."
Seeing Wilson frown, William knew that he had unintentionally hurt his self-esteem.
He hurriedly explained, "But it's not a trivial matter, and what I'm about to say is suitable for you to do. As for other dangerous things.
Man, our status is destined not to take risks on our own, otherwise we would have so many people under our command."
Wilson's face improved after receiving this explanation, and he asked doubtfully, "Is it about the live broadcast? Or is it about your bet with the public?"
William nodded and smiled, knowing that although Wilson was sometimes unreliable, he immediately became smarter once he was around him.
"Let me talk about the first thing first. I have chosen the independent television station in England to cooperate. In the future, the live broadcast signal will be broadcast to the world through them.
So, I need you to help me talk to them."
"Are you planning to acquire it?" Wilson asked in surprise, "But even if it's an acquisition, why not go to the largest company?
According to the reported number of viewers, your current live broadcast has at least three billion viewers at its peak, and more than one billion viewers at its lowest peak.
If you use this as a condition, it’s not difficult to invest in Beepc, so why choose independent television?”
William's eyes flickered. It can't be said that only ITV is fair, and the relationship with China is not bad.
"Beep C is not a purely English company. There is no need for me to abandon an English company when most of England supports me.
And I don’t plan to acquire it wholly. I told the people at ITV that I would pay 500 million pounds to acquire 33% of their shares.”
"All right".
Wilson looked at William doubtfully. As far as he knew, William was not like this, but he didn't intend to go into details.
"The acquisition of one-third of the shares of a company with a market value of 1.4 billion pounds for 500 million pounds, plus the hundreds of millions of viewers attracted by the live broadcast, ITV should not refuse."
"If they refuse all these conditions, then let them play by themselves." William curled his lips and continued,
"The second thing is that the website I built will be published later.
It is foreseeable that the number of people participating in guessing the weight of potatoes this time will exceed one billion.
So I don't plan to use it just once, but think about how to retain this huge group of people,
When the website is released, a simple web chat tool will also be released.
Later, functions such as adding friends, commenting, personal homepage, and uploading photos will be added.
Anyway, I'm going to take this opportunity and build a social networking site directly.
The name of the website is Facebook, and the slogan is "Show yourself".
"you you",
Wilson hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to express his shock. In the end, he could only shout,
"If you don't let me take a shareholding, we will break off our relationship immediately."
"As you may think, this website is expected to be valued at hundreds of millions from its establishment.
Once I'm on Mars, I can keep hundreds of millions of people participating in chats and discussions every day.
It’s normal for the market value to be estimated at one billion US dollars.”
"No, you damn miser." Seeing William's refusal, Wilson cursed angrily and heartbrokenly, "Then why are you telling me these things to show off to me, a poor man?"
"Ha, are you considered poor?"
William said with disdain, "The shares of energy-saving lamps alone will make you worth nearly 100 million."
Before Wilson could say anything else, William interrupted, "I can give you 10% of the shares in the TV station, but as for the website."
William thought for a moment and said, "Tell your friends that when I return to London and the website conducts its first IPO,
I will consider giving 5% of the shares to you people, but if the website’s valuation is far higher than expected and you don’t have enough money, then don’t blame me.”
"No problem, no problem." Wilson agreed with William's promise, "I can get the fifty million pounds the TV station needs today.
As for the money for the website, the worst case scenario is that if I mortgage the shares of the energy-saving lamp company to my grandfather, he will definitely lend me money."
"You're smart," William said with a smile. "Even if the TV station can only grow two or three times in ten years, for people like you and me, it means more than money."
Wilson nodded affirmatively, knowing very well that if William hadn't been in charge of the matter of buying a stake in the TV station, he wouldn't have been able to do so.
As the second heir to the royal family, it is impossible for him to invest in shares.
Not to mention the internal affairs of the family, there will be many objections and vigilance among ordinary people outside.
"Thank you," Wilson thanked him sincerely, then changed his mind and said,
"Since you asked me to find those noble friends with whom I have good connections, there must be something for us to do.
Just tell me, as long as you can do it, I believe those guys who have long wanted to get closer to you will definitely use all their energy to complete what you tell them."
"Hehe", William grinned, "Since you want to get on the ship, you have to show your own value."
Wilson nodded seriously. Not only did William look down on the worthless noble children, he also looked down on them.
“Find some reliable guys to build momentum together, and let them record their specialties and show them in videos.
Attract discussions among ordinary people, induce their competitiveness, and then actively display their excellent side on the website."
