My Age of Investment

Although he was in the same university and was a student of the same level in his previous life, Xia Jingxing had never met Elizabeth Holmes.

This Sherlock Holmes is not a detective. Instead, he was given to a detective and exposed a century-old deception.

When Xia Jingxing knew her, it was also through TV, media and newspapers.

This woman dropped out of school early to start her own business. It seems that she founded the blood testing company Theranos this year, which will be famous in the future.

The direction of the business is to check whether people are sick and prevent diseases through a drop of blood on the fingertip.

In fact, in the early days of her business, many medical professors reminded her that this would not work.

Because when the finger is punctured, the cells will also be punctured, so impurities such as cell debris will take the opportunity to mix into the interstitial fluid, resulting in inaccurate test results.

But the other party is determined to change the world!

Relying on fraud, as well as fooling former Secretary of State Schultz, Kissinger and other American dignitaries to join the board of directors, endorse her and the startup company, and raised a lot of money.

Since then, she has appeared on the covers of various magazines and weekly magazines, attended state banquets, and sat down with politicians and economic celebrities.

Until the scam was broken in 2015, the valuation of this blood testing company had reached 9 billion US dollars, and she owned more than half of the shares, worth 4.5 billion US dollars.

Selected by Forbes magazine as "the world's youngest self-made female billionaire";

Ao Guanhai also appointed her as an "Entrepreneurial Ambassador".

Later, her shares were cleared and she faced multiple fraud charges. Until Xia Jingxing's rebirth, the case had not been heard and the other party had not been jailed.

It seems that I heard people say that I was fooled by a Chinese self-media boss surnamed Chu to go to Southeast Asia to share bicycles. I don’t know if it’s true or not?

In short, this is a cunning woman.

Xia Jingxing did not expect to meet each other here, and after thinking for a few seconds, he replied:

"I hope that in the future, Facebook will go out of the United States and be sought after and loved by young people all over the world. Everyone can make friends on it, chat about topics of interest, and become a part of their lives.

As for valuation or market value, try to surpass Yahoo! "

As soon as Xia Jingxing said these words, the audience exclaimed in surprise.

I dare to say that if it exceeds Yahoo, the market value will exceed 100 billion US dollars!

Most of the students in the audience thought that Daeron was adrift and only had 500,000 users, so he dared to say such cruel words as surpassing Yahoo.

There are also some students who think that's how it should be. Is Yahoo great? Isn't it also a student entrepreneurial project going out of Stanford?

Google also went out from Stanford, and maybe in the future, it will be able to rub Yahoo on the ground.

Sherlock Holmes was one of the few people who supported Xia Jingxing, she smiled and nodded, admiring this ambition.

As a nine-year-old woman who aspires to be a billionaire, she has always had a dream of starting a business.

She made up her mind that after the event was over, she would have to ask for contact information and make friends.

Xia Jingxing answered questions from several students, and the sharing of this activity came to an end.

In the thank you voice of the hostess, he stood up and was about to leave.

The students also lined up in a long line from the other direction, preparing to leave one after another.

At this time, against the flow of people, Holmes rushed over at a trot and called out Xia Jingxing.

"Daren, please wait!"

Xia Jingxing thought to himself, isn't this woman asking me for investment? I don't have the money to cheat her.

He asked quietly, "What's the matter with you?"

Sherlock Holmes is nowhere near as long-sleeved as he was in the future, but he also showed some shining points.

She held out her hand generously. "My name is Elizabeth Holmes,

I am a freshman in the School of Engineering. After listening to your entrepreneurship sharing, I am very touched.

Want to buy you a cup of coffee and ask a few questions about entrepreneurship? Not sure if it's convenient? "

Xia Jingxing politely shook hands with the other party, with an embarrassed expression on his face, and was about to open his mouth to reject the other party.

Sherlock Holmes seemed to notice the change in his expression, and added with a smile: "Don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time, ten minutes is enough."

Old man John happened to pass by and patted Xia Jingxing on the shoulder with a smile: "Go, Elizabeth is Dean Qian Ning's proud student, you outstanding young people, you can talk more."

Xia Jingxing also did not expect that this Sherlock Holmes actually had a number on Old John's place.

It really deserves to be mixed in the circle, this skill is convinced!

"Okay, let's talk then."

Xia Jingxing changed his mind. Now that John had spoken, the principal and angel investor still had to give face.

Anyway, after a while, no matter how hype this woman said, he just cried poor and had no money.

Sherlock Holmes led Xia Jingxing to a relatively high-end cafe on campus, ordered two cups of coffee, and started chatting.

"Daren, is Facebook still short of development funds?"

Sherlock Holmes' first sentence made Xia Jingxing bewildered.

This is so special, the script is reversed!

Xia Jingxing was drinking coffee and almost choked, and looked at Holmes seriously.

This woman is well dressed, and it can be seen that she should be from a standard American middle-class family.

"How much do you think Facebook's Series A financing will be?"

Xia Jingxing asked in a joking tone, he doesn't care about her money, how much pocket money can a girl from a middle-class family have?

Facebook wants not just money, but connections and connections.

These things, the current Sherlock Holmes can not give.

"I heard that your angel round financing is 500,000, and the valuation is 5 million.

I think the Series A financing must be in the millions of dollars! "

Sherlock Holmes thought for a while and replied with a serious look.

She still put a lot of effort into investigating Facebook, otherwise she wouldn't ask Xia Jingxing for coffee.

Xia Jingxing said with a smile: "Facebook is not short of money now, and it is only after the company's scale and development has reached a new level that it needs to raise funds.

Million dollar level, there may be a certain gap from my psychological prediction. "

Sherlock Holmes smiled lightly, and the baby's fat cheeks were chubby, looking very innocent, and no one could see that this was a big liar in the future.

"So, your financing target is tens of millions?"

Xia Jingxing spread his hands, "Of course, we will not stop expanding. To support this rapid growth, we need a lot of money."

Sherlock Holmes did have an interest in Facebook, and her family had saved a lot of money for her education.

The purpose of her conversation with Xia Jingxing was to see if she could invest a little, not too much, and she could accept one or two shares.

But in the brief conversation, she could already hear the other party's refusal.

This made her a little discouraged, but she has always been a person who will not admit defeat, and said: "I have a few uncles who are in venture capital.

If you have financing needs, I can recommend it for you. "

Xia Jingxing didn't say anything. Sherlock Holmes thought that the other party didn't believe it, so he explained: "They are still a little famous. They have invested in well-known companies such as Hotmail and have a good relationship with Internet technology giants such as Microsoft and Yahoo."

The Hotmail mailbox is also made by a Stanford student and is an Indian.

This small company with only 26 people was acquired by Microsoft for $400 million after it was founded a year and a half.

Xia Jingxing still has a certain understanding of this acquisition case five or six years ago.

He did not doubt that Holmes had this connection and knew several venture capitalists.

But why should they help themselves?

Hungry for my body?

He tui
