Reborn 2005: The Internet Myth

The person who called him was Elizabeth Holmes, the most powerful female liar in the future.

Considering that she is also a Stanford alumnus, it is not surprising that she appears here.

And she was dressed very beautifully tonight, wearing a short evening dress, which highlighted her beautiful figure. The two diamond-shaped earrings on her ears were very dazzling under the light.

"Hey! You look so beautiful tonight."

After a period of getting along with people at Midland, Wang Zheng initially mastered the way to communicate with people at Midland.

"Thank you, you are very handsome too." Elizabeth asked curiously: "Did you come alone too?"

"No, my assistant brought me here. She blamed me for not having a party for the company today, so she punished me for accompanying her here to the party."

While Wang was joking, Catherine was walking over and saw Elizabeth standing next to him.

Catherine shouted in surprise: "Hello, Miss Holmes, I am Catherine, Justin's assistant."

It seems that this Elizabeth is still very famous at Stanford, and Catherine, who has just graduated half a year ago, can recognize her.

"Boss, I'll give you a ticket and wish you good luck."

Catherine took out a ticket and stuffed it into Wang Zheng's hand, winked at it, and then rushed into the bar without a trace, and never mentioned the male companion again.

Wang Zheng shrugged and said to Elizabeth: "As you can see, my first party trip will probably start from you."

Elizabeth smiled and nodded: "Of course, no problem, let's go in too."

When I walked into the bar, there was no such loud DJ beat, but the music was still loud.

Moreover, the bar was crowded with people, and everyone was standing. There was a small square table every few meters, filled with wine glasses, which contained a blue or pink liquid. It was impossible to tell what kind of wine it was.

Elizabeth was obviously very used to this kind of environment, but she also noticed that Wang Zheng was not used to it.

So he took the initiative to pick up two glasses of blue wine and asked before handing them to Wang Zheng: "Are you over 21?"

Wang Zheng himself is indeed 19 this year, but Justin is 22, so after nodding, Elizabeth handed him the wine glass.

After looking at it for a while, I realized that the blue ones contained alcohol and the pink ones were just soft drinks.

Because California does not allow people under 21 to drink alcohol or enter bars. However, parties are an exception.

Elizabeth took Wang Zheng to find a slightly secluded place, sat down casually, and said with a smile: "Justin, do you rarely attend parties?"

Wang Zheng nodded and looked around. Most people at the party were very relaxed. Both men and women were swaying to the music.

“Welcome to Party California.”

The two clinked their glasses, and Elizabeth asked, "Justin, why don't you call me?"

Wang Zheng explained: "I have been too busy at work recently. The product has just been launched today, so I plan to take a rest."

"Did you really start a company?" Elizabeth's beautiful eyes flashed and she quickly asked: "What is the name of your company? What is its product?"

"Meta! Picture sharing community, if you are interested, go back and check it out, I believe you will like it."

Elizabeth thought for a moment, confirmed that she had not heard of this name before, nodded and said: "Meta, I remember it."

"What about you, how is your company?"

Speaking of the company, Elizabeth shook her head worriedly: "Not very good. Last time I went to Bangguo, I purchased some of the latest equipment, but it couldn't meet our technical needs. This equipment cost a lot of money, and the company almost ran out of funds.

Already."

It would be strange to be satisfied.

You have to insist on collecting only 5ml of blood and do more than 240 kinds of tests. Even the northwest wind thinks that you collected too little.

It takes so much to collect DNA.

The most terrible thing is that the technology has not been developed, so this girl started to add water to the blood... and then the test results were extremely inaccurate.

Eventually the scam went bankrupt.

But what cannot be denied is that this girl is really capable. At least Bill Gates, Rupert Murdoch and other big guys are not that easy to fool, so she just succeeded in fooling them.

At its peak, Thearuos was worth 9 billion U.S. dollars, equivalent to 60 billion in Daxia!

So Wang Zheng paid her the highest respect: "Elizabeth, I believe you will succeed. Come on!"

Elizabeth was very touched: "Thank you Justin. Apart from my professor, you are the only one who said this."

Then your professor is really not very good.

Wang Zheng complained secretly, and suddenly thought of another scam. With a thought, he smiled kindly and said, "Elizabeth, have you tried telling everyone about your ideals to get more people to support you?"

"Tell everyone?" Elizabeth was confused and shook her head: "I don't have that kind of channel."

"No, you have it now."

Wang Zheng smiled mysteriously and said under Elizabeth's expectant gaze: "Elizabeth, your ideal is really great. This is a pioneering work for ordinary people."

"I think we can't just allow capitalists to participate in this project. Ordinary people also have the need to participate in this project."

Elizabeth shook her head again, "Technology research and development consumes too much money. I don't think ordinary people have the ability to participate."

Wang Zheng smiled and said: "Elizabeth, you misunderstood me. I meant early sales."

Facing Elizabeth's puzzled gaze, Wang Zheng explained: "My idea is to set up a website where Xianos will launch a fundraising event."

"You announce all the technology, ideals, and difficulties encountered in development, and at the same time promise customers how long it will take to complete the research and development, and how much money I need to raise for this."

"For example, if you raise $1, you will get a free blood test service after the project is successfully developed. Then set the tier of $5, $10, or even $100 to get the service."

"At the same time, we declare to users that if sufficient funds cannot be raised within one month, the project will be terminated and all funds will be returned to the original route."

Seeing Elizabeth's eyes getting brighter and brighter, Wang Zheng smiled and said: "Elizabeth, believe me, you will succeed!"

Wang Zheng is talking about the crowdfunding model, a business model that started around 2008.

What's great about it is that it can quickly absorb funds in the short term, and companies can speed up the process of research and development, production and delivery.

In the end, the company succeeds and users also have the pleasure of successful investment.

But I can’t stand the scammers who are becoming more and more high-end, and their copywriting, videos, and PPTs are becoming more and more fantasy-like, and there are more and more cases where they make money and run away.

Later, things like crowdfunding for critical illness were developed, but 95% of them were scams.

Based on the future path of Elizabeth, a big liar, it is completely inconsistent with Wang Zheng's business worries.

The key is that this industry sounds very scary, but in fact it’s not very profitable, and you can’t do it without some background.

It's better to leave it to Elizabeth. She has connections and resources, and can handle such a business easily.

If it succeeds, Wang Zheng will make money; if it fails, Wang Zheng will not have to take the blame.

This is very pleasant.
