Chapter 992 - The Female Liar (Part II)

"Mr. Zhou, I found it!

We found a journalist who has done an in-depth investigation of Elizabeth Holmes, John Carrero, a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist. Chen Wen happily found Zhou Shi

"Oh, really?" Zhou Shi didn't expect things to go so smoothly

"Yes, this reporter is a financial reporter for the Wall Street Journal, but he has a Yahoo account. "Chen Wen

"Yahoo public account?" Zhou Shi didn't understand why Chen Wen was emphasizing this

John Carrero had been preparing to expose Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos fraud last year, but it was not supported by the Wall Street Journal, and the reason for this seems to be that John Carrero started his own self-media channel on Yahoo Toutiao. "Chen Wen,

Zhou Shi knows that in Europe and the United States, there are some conflicts between self-media and traditional media, mainly the division of interests. However, Toutiao is a platform, and its main task is to review piracy. The contradiction between self-media people and traditional media enterprises, especially between self-media people and employers, is the main contradiction, and to put it bluntly, it is the uneven distribution of interests.

John Carrero wanted to resign, but the Wall Street Journal would not allow it, and Carrero already had the control in the hands of the newspaper because of the problem of developing self-media. What is the specific reason for the situation, it is difficult for outsiders to figure out anyway, and it is not very important, anyway, it is a conflict between the two sides, or there are other reasons, so Elizabeth Holmes's fraud has not been made public so far.

"Shall we contact John Carrero directly?"

"Try not to let people know that we're meddling!" Zhou Shi

There are many ways to keep people from knowing that this is related to him, such as bribing someone from his team, or having someone join John Carrero's team and guide them to make certain choices. Of course, this is more troublesome. The means of making people obedient are nothing more than coercion and temptation and emotional offensive, Zhou Shi has so many subordinates, there are always people who can use it flexibly. Maybe John Carrero himself was looking for an opportunity to detonate the bomb, but it was a legal problem that made it difficult for him to decide.

This cannot be blamed on John Carrero, because he is dealing with an unusually strong team of lawyers.

David Boyce, a legendary barrister, has won many cases that are almost impossible to win. In 2007 and 2008, in the largest antitrust out-of-court settlement in history, Beuys helped his client American Express win a big victory, forcing the two major credit card giants Visa and Master to pay more than $4.1 billion!

In July 2009, Beuys won the "Super Litigator Showdown" (Wall Street Journal), defeating AIG to save his client, Starr, from a massive $4.3 billion payout from AIG!

From 2010 to 2011, in the largest patent and trademark infringement lawsuit in history, the veteran Boyce achieved another feat, helping his client Oracle win a $1.3 billion lawsuit against SAP!

And now, Elizabeth has paid him a sky-high $4.5 million in legal fees to protect Theranos. What are the chances that John Carrero will be able to get out of it?

Not only that, but Theranos employees have signed strict confidentiality policies, and anyone who leaks the information will face huge compensation. Her lawyer team even threatened employees: "If you dare to say one more word to that reporter, I will let you suffer a lawsuit!"

One of the most expensive former employees spent $400,000 on a lawyer just to withstand months of constant legal threats.

"Mr. Zhou, it's done, we have recruited a very special person" Chen Wen

"Who?" Zhou Shi

"Taylor Schultz is the grandson of Elizabeth's original supporter, former Secretary of State George Schultz......" Chen Wen

Next, Zhou Shi learned that Taylor Schultz may really be an idealist, because of his family background, he joined Theranos, and then, according to his own words, since then, he has found out that there are many problems with Theranos, Elizabeth and the company's CEO teamed up to cheat, but after he communicated with his grandfather, he did not get support, but was asked to keep it strictly confidential. Taylor Schultz did not agree, and George Schultz severed his relationship with his grandchildren......

The old Schultz's idea is easy to understand, he invested money in it, and was deceived, perhaps indirectly so that many old friends were deceived. At this time, there seems to be no way except to go to the dark and gain time to stop the loss.

"Then let Taylor Schultz come into contact with John Carrero!" Zhou Shi, a little guy who was discovered by his inner conscience, or a bitter ploy deliberately made to clear his name, Zhou Shi was a little confused about their logic.

In fact, Elizabeth Holmes's hoax should have been debunked last year, and it has not been disclosed until now, and it is unknown what happened in between. Anyway, it has nothing to do with him, maybe the Schultz family didn't suffer much loss!

"Okay, I'll arrange it!" Chen Wen

Zhou Shizhen didn't know what to say about Elizabeth Holmes's scam, and the progress of science and technology made it possible for her idea to be realized, but before it was realized, it was a thing that obviously violated scientific common sense! In particular, the shareholders and board of directors of Theranos have nothing to do with science and technology, and the cattiness of this is worth pondering. Maybe this is how those old men make some private money!

After that meeting, Elizabeth Holmes contacted Zhou Shi several times to get his investment.

"With a valuation of $20 billion, is it really true that Theranos is made of gold?" Zhou Shi discussed the matter of Theranos with several consultants, admiring Elizabeth's courage!

"Fakeittillyoumakeit!" is the culture of Silicon Valley, and this little girl is doing a great job.

The environment of the United States is certainly not so friendly to female entrepreneurs, or it is not so easy for female entrepreneurs no matter where they are. Wang Xirui's Snapchat is mainly a program ape because of its simple personnel relationship, and it was acquired by Zuckerberg before the market development or anything started, otherwise she would face more and more troubles.

Snapchat was not acquired, and Wang Xirui had a lot less trouble, but whether Mr. Zuckerberg could accommodate her is a question. Facebook and friends are together, and the sequelae are obvious, and it is difficult to form a joint force. And the different corporate cultures, at least the users want the two sites to keep different cultures, which is a struggle for a company to write. Zuckerberg doesn't have much background in Chinese culture, so he may not understand Tai Chi Yin and Yang, and he can't do a good job of seeking common ground while reserving differences......

Because of this, Zuckerberg made several adjustments and wanted to incorporate Friends.com into the Facebook system, which caused great disgust among Friends.com users and netizens, lost a lot of users, and promoted the rapid development of Toutiao.
