In the lounge, Gail gado sits quietly next to Murphy, looking at the girl who is not a few years older than herself. Her eyes are full of curiosity. Murphy and she just meet by chance, and there is no special intersection. She is not a movie lover like Morson and John. What do you want to do with Murphy?
Of course, she will not be silly enough to think that the other party has a crush on Murphy. In the eyes of people in the film industry, Murphy is absolutely priceless, but this girl has nothing to do with Hollywood.
Gail gado heard that this talented cousin just dropped out of Stanford University last year or the year before last. She didn't drop out because of poor academic performance, but because she wanted to start a business!
According to mossen, conservatively, the other side should also have millions or even tens of millions of dollars.
"I've read a lot about you, Murphy." Elizabeth Holmes looked across and said with a smile, "your experience is definitely a miracle of entrepreneurship."
"Er..." Murphy was stunned for a moment. "It's the first time someone has said that about me."
"Isn't it?" Elizabeth Holmes opened her hand and said, "your Stanton studio has been involved in making many successful films and investing in the dead man. Isn't this a successful start-up?"
Murphy didn't speak and couldn't figure out what the other person meant.
Elizabeth Holmes seemed excited that "any successful entrepreneur deserves respect."
"Well, it is." Murphy nodded, gradually grasped some of Elizabeth Holmes's ideas, and deliberately asked, "Liz, you must be a successful entrepreneur, too."
"Yes, although my career has just started, it has entered the stage of harvest." Elizabeth Holmes appears quite confident.
Murphy takes a look at Gail gado. Gail gado immediately becomes a curious girl and asks, "do you know what you're doing?"
The answer given by Elizabeth Holmes made Murphy and Gail gado stare. "I hope to build a medical system that can completely change the status quo of health care. I don't want to improve some existing technologies, but want to invent a new technology that can benefit all people regardless of region, race, age or gender."
This ambition is really not so big. It seems that Austria and black carbon all fell down on the medical reform later, right? Murphy became more and more curious.
"The year before last, I started a company with my saved tuition." Elizabeth Holmes seemed to be talking about something extraordinary. "At the beginning, I could only rent a room in the basement of the college and work while studying. But after a semester, I officially dropped out of Stanford University and started to start a business wholeheartedly, and developed into a company that has been published in technology and financial magazines for several times Division
"Oh..." Gail gado nodded politely. "It's amazing."
Unlike Gail gado, Murphy did not take the initiative to speak, but continued to look at Elizabeth Holmes curiously until Elizabeth Holmes could not bear his burning eyes.
"Liz is a direct person." Murphy didn't want to pester here. He simply said, "I believe your time is precious, too."
At this point, Elizabeth Holmes is no longer in circles, "my company is financing outside, looking for suitable investors."
This is not a particularly unexpected answer. Murphy just frowned, pointed to himself and said, "do you think I'm the right investor?"
Elizabeth Holmes asked, "isn't it? Do you need me to list your successful investment cases? My company will be your next success. "
Don't know why, Murphy faintly smelled the smell of Uncle Joe from her.
On the contrary, these words aroused his more curiosity, "can you talk about the specific projects your company is doing?"
"I set up an innovative blood testing company. Elizabeth Holmes should be in urgent need of foreign capital injection. She said very carefully, "there are many loopholes and deficiencies in traditional blood testing. For example, when a blood test is needed, the nurse always draws a large tube of red liquid from the patient's arm. Some patients who are not in good health may not be able to afford to draw blood again and again. If they encounter a person who is blood sick, they will be even more deadly. In addition to causing double discomfort to people's body and psychology, traditional blood testing has a more serious problem, that is, manual testing will cause errors in blood data, so it is often unable to completely test the virus in blood
Seeing Murphy listening carefully, she said more vigorously, "according to my idea, when testing blood, you just need to take out a drop of blood gently with the tip of a needle on your finger as a sample. Don't underestimate this drop of blood. Through the equipment being developed by my company, you can test hundreds of indicators in the blood."
Elizabeth Holmes laughs, "in this way, people who have blood sickness will not worry, people who have chronic diseases will not worry, and people who need to regularly test their blood will not worry. More importantly, with the help of the machine, the accuracy of blood detection will also be improved."Although there is no comparability, Murphy can see that this young girl, like Gail gado, is so "different" among her peers.
As if to make her words more convincing, Elizabeth Holmes continued, "Murphy, you must know something about the terrible health care system in the United States. How can such a convenient, cheap and accurate blood test service not be popular with the government and the public?"
"That sounds pretty good." Murphy nodded.
If Elizabeth Holmes's research is successful and patented, the service will definitely make her company a star.
The question is, can she make it?
It's not Hollywood or the film industry. Murphy doesn't understand it at all. It's no exaggeration to say that it's a layman who invests in projects he doesn't understand. He must be cautious.
And Elizabeth Holmes brings that kind of female version of the feeling of Uncle Joe, also always let Murphy feel that something seems very wrong.
From Murphy's face, Elizabeth Holmes faintly saw the heart, and said, "my goal is to raise $100 million for R & D, and then at the right time, the company will go public."
Murphy nodded again, as if completely moved by Elizabeth Holmes.
Gail gado reaches out a hand without any trace and twists Murphy's back slightly, trying to remind her boyfriend not to listen to the so-called empty talk of listing and financing.
"A lot of people have expressed their investment intention." Elizabeth Holmes is trying to woo Murphy as much as possible. "If you invest $10 million now, you can definitely become a $400 million company share in the future."
On the other hand, Murphy gently pinches Gail gado's hand. Gail gado immediately puts down her heart and knows her boyfriend can distinguish priorities.
"Well, Liz." Murphy didn't completely block the road, and said, "send a copy of your company and research project information to Stanton studio. If it's really as promising as you say, I will invest."
"That's good." Elizabeth Holmes was happy. "I'll get someone to do it as soon as possible."
She's looking around for investment, and of course she won't miss any opportunities.
Murphy laughed. "I'll wait for your good news."
Elizabeth Holmes had another chat with Murphy before leaving the lounge.
"Are you really interested?" Gail gado looks at Murphy. Murphy shakes her head. "I just want to see what kind of company this is."
He doesn't know much about investment, but he knows some very simple things. The more extravagant projects are described, the more serious problems are unknown.
This is not necessarily the case with Hollywood's film projects and the investment in the business circle.
Shortly after Elizabeth Holmes left, John knocked on the door again and came in. He said a few words to Murphy. After earning his consent, he went out and brought in more than a dozen men and women.
These people all have the same identity, a fanatic film fan and a member of Gail gado's film club.
"Murphy, this is Morson, this is Minna..." Gail gado introduced Murphy one by one, "this is Chris, this is Alston..."
Anyway, these are Gail gado's classmates in the club, and compared with Hollywood, these students in the ivory tower are too simple and lovely.
After a simple conversation, Murphy also found out that they found themselves through Gail gado. In fact, their purpose was very simple, and they didn't have any complicated ideas. They just wanted to know something about Hollywood and the current situation of the industry, and how to really enter Hollywood out of their love for film production.
It can be said that these people's love for film making is pure, more out of love.
In the face of these relatively simple people, Murphy also put away those complicated thoughts. On the basis of the facts, when talking about Hollywood movies and industry, he appropriately added a little decoration to avoid hitting the love of these people.
"Those great filmmakers were born with a high sensitivity to the art of film. For this kind of talent, we can only look forward to it. We just want to constantly improve our skills and enrich our experience in the process of film production again and again. But even today's greatest and most legendary filmmakers, such as David Finch, Quentin Tarantino or Wes Anderson, stand on the shoulders of giants to achieve today's achievements. "
After listening to Murphy's words, John asked the first question, "what do you think is the most important thing to make a movie?" (to be continued). )For mobile phone users, please browse and read for better reading experience.
