My Age of Investment

  Chapter 80 What is my body?

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

  This Sherlock Holmes is not a detective. Instead, he was given to a detective by others, exposing a century-old scam.

  When Xia Jingxing met her, it was through television, media, and newspapers.

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

  The direction of entrepreneurship is to check whether people are sick and prevent diseases with a drop of blood from your fingertips.

  Actually, many medical professors reminded her in the early days of entrepreneurship and told her that this was not possible.

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

  But the other party is determined to change the world!

   Relying on fraud and fooling former Secretary of State Schultz, Kissinger and other American dignitaries to join the board of directors, endorsed her and the start-up company, and raised a lot of funds.

  Since then, she has appeared on the covers of various magazines and weekly magazines, attended state banquets, and talked with political figures and economic celebrities. The scenery is boundless and she is well-known in Silicon Valley!

  Until the scam was cracked in 2015, the blood testing company's valuation has reached 9 billion US dollars, and she owns more than half of the equity and is worth 4.5 billion US dollars.

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

  Oguanhai also appointed her as the "Entrepreneurship Ambassador".

  Later, her shares were cleared and she faced multiple fraud charges. Until Xia Jingxing was reborn, the case had not been cleared, and the other party had not eaten prison food.

  It seems to be heard that a Chinese self-media boss surnamed Chu was fooled into Southeast Asia to engage in shared bicycles. I don’t know if it is true or not.

   In short, this is a cunning woman.

  Xia Jingxing didn’t expect to meet each other here, and after thinking about it for a few seconds, he replied:

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

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

When Xia Jingxing said this, the audience exclaimed.

  I really dare to say that if you surpass Yahoo, the market value will exceed 100 billion US dollars!

  Most of the students in the audience think that Dai Lun has gone, and he has only 500,000 users, so he dare to surpass Yahoo. This kind of ruthless talk is really ignorant.

  Some students think that it should be the case. Is Yahoo great? Isn’t it also Stanford’s going out student entrepreneurship project?

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

  Holmes is the small group of people who support Xia Jingxing. She smiled and nodded, admiring this ambition very much.

  As a woman who aspires to be a billion-dollar rich at the age of nine, she has always had the dream of starting a business.

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

  Xia Jingxing answered the questions of several students again, and the sharing of the event came to an end.

  In the voice of thanks from the hostess, he stood up and was about to leave.

  Students also lined up from another direction, preparing to leave one after another.

  At this moment, Holmes ran against the flow of people and rushed over, shouting Xia Jingxing.

   "Daren, please wait!"

  Xia Jingxing thought to herself, this woman shouldn’t ask me to make investment, right? I have no money to cheat her.

  He calmly asked: "What's the matter with you?"

  Holmes is far less long-sleeved and can dance, but he also showed some luminous points.

  She stretched out her hand generously, “My name is Elizabeth Holmes and I am a freshman in the School of Engineering. After listening to your entrepreneurial sharing, I was very touched.

  Want to buy you a cup of coffee, and ask a few questions about entrepreneurship? I wonder if it's inconvenient? "

  Xia Jingxing shook hands with the other party politely, showing awkward expression, and was about to say no to the other party.

  Holmes seemed to notice the change in his expression, and smiled and added: "Don't worry, it won't take up too much time. Ten minutes is enough."

  Old man John just passed by and smiled and patted Xia Jingxing’s shoulder: "Go, Elizabeth is the proud student of Dean Qianning. You outstanding young people, you can communicate more."

  Xia Jingxing also did not expect that this Holmes was actually registered with Old Man John.

   Really deserve to be in the circle, this skill, convinced!

   "Okay, let's talk."

  Xia Jingxing changed his mind. Now that John is old and talkative, the principal and angel investor's face still has to be given.

  Anyway, no matter how much the woman said, he is crying poor and has no money.

  Holmes led Xia Jingxing to an upscale cafe on campus, ordered two cups of coffee, and started talking.

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

  Holmes’ first words stunned Xia Jingxing.

  What's so special, the script is reversed!

  Xia Jingxing was drinking coffee and was almost choked. She looked at Holmes earnestly.

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

  "What do you think will be the scale of Facebook's Series A financing?"

  Xia Jingxing asked jokingly, he doesn’t like her money. How much pocket money can a girl from a middle-class family have?

   Facebook wants not only money, but also relationships and connections.

  These things, the current Sherlock Holmes cannot give.

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

  I think the A round of financing must be at the million-dollar level! "

  Holmes thought for a while, and replied with a serious face.

  She did some research on Facebook, otherwise she wouldn’t ask Xia Jingxing for coffee.

  Xia Jingxing said with a smile: “Facebook is not short of money now, and financing is to wait for the company’s scale and development to reach a new level.

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

  Holmes smiled faintly, the baby's fat cheeks were fleshy, and they looked very simple, 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 the pace of expansion. To support this kind of rapid growth, a lot of money is needed.”

  Holmes is indeed a little interested in Facebook, and her family has saved a lot of education funds for her.

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

  Ke's brief conversation, she has already heard the other party's refusal.

  This made her a little bit discouraged, but she has always been a reluctant person, 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 did not speak, Holmes thought that the other party did not believe it, and explained: “They are still a bit 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.”

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

  This small company of only 26 people was acquired by Microsoft for $400 million after it was founded one and a half years ago.

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

  He doesn't doubt that Holmes has this connection, and he knows a few venture capitalists.

  But why should the other party help themselves?

  Bad my body?

  Hetui

  ……
