Read Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies of a Silicon Valley Giant

Watching this book "Bad Blood: The Secrets and Lies of a Silicon Valley Giant", I can't extricate myself, breathe, and exhaust my eyes. I've heard of this incident before, but it's an eye-opener to get so deep into the details. The author is an investigative journalist who has been in the Wall Street Journal for sixteen years when he intends to investigate the incident.

Whether it is the financing of diseases detected through blood tests in this book, or the previous Ponzi scheme, or LeTV in recent years, although the degree of glamorousness of the cloak is different, the essence is the same. This feeling is probably a professional model, going to different venues, wearing different designer clothes, walking different shows, and the model itself has not changed, and the model itself is a show.

Elizabeth, a college dropout with no medical background and only two semesters of chemical engineering classes, became a female Version of Jobs-esque entrepreneur, with dark blue eyes, always fond of wearing a black turtleneck sweater and speaking in a low voice. In fact, this is not her real appearance, and many of her employees have occasionally discovered her natural side.

So this week, in Zhuang Mengdi, has she completely changed her nature, or is this her Buddha-figure? Was it Elizabeth's own idea, or was it a conspiracy with Sonny, or was it just Sonny's will?

I wonder what kind of persuasiveness and performance ability can make investors, academics, engineers, etc., willing to invest a lot of money to promote the commercialization of this project without seeing the laboratory and without seeing the accurate test results.

What is the strong marketing ability that can make this illusory product promote to pharmacies, retail giants, and let various quality funds inject fresh blood into this company again and again. It seems that the glossy coat is indeed important, after all, it is equipped with the best lawyers in the country and employs highly respected people as special advisers.

In fact, think about it, in those years of Silicon Valley, there were successful projects such as Facebook, Yahoo, Twitter, and Uber, and the tentacles of investors penetrated into every tiny opportunity, and no one wanted to miss a fresh idea, who also wanted to share a piece of cake in that space of explosive growth of technology and technology.

Just for this Edison instrument that can measure hundreds of different diseases through simple fingertip blood collection, known as a mini laboratory, some people have questioned it, and some people are convinced of it. Even the famous Doctors have made important contributions to its promotion and promotion. However, this instrument is only a utopia. The company atmosphere is tense, the information is strictly confidential, the dismissal is the norm only to look at the personal emotions, working day and night but never knowing what content is busy; every time you want to check the signed business contracts, you say that it is still under review...

Interestingly, the female entrepreneur, not only was called "the youngest woman with a billionaire morality from scratch" by Forbes, making her one of the top 400 for Forbes' annual list of America's richest people, but also nominating her by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world; even Oba President Ma appointed her as an ambassador for global entrepreneurship in the United States, and Harvard Medical School invited her to join its prestigious Fellows Council....

Consuming nearly a billion dollars from investors, there were 800 employees at its peak, from intimidating her CFO to prosecuting employees, confidential hard drives that federal prosecutors have collected containing about 16 million pages of evidence... Another "miracle" to step down from the altar. I don't know whether it is because information has become more developed, or because the urban routine is now deep. Over the years, there have been many stories of vigorous wind and fire but tragic and fierce and hurried endings. It may just be that history repeats itself, but the way it appears each time is novel.

In this turbulent world, in the rapid noise and noise, it is true to be down-to-earth. Although there are many whimsical ideas in this world that eventually become revolutionary creations, there are indeed not so many whimsical and lofty ambitions, and one step at a time is true.

Although this book is very exciting, because it is written by an investigative journalist, the angle of finding out the truth is the mainstay, and the details are also very detailed. There are relatively few descriptions of "flickering" in themselves and descriptions. If one day, this "brilliant" and popular female entrepreneur can publish an autobiography, it will be perfect.
