End of the press conference.Scientists and journalists began to walk away.But the influence of public opinion has only just begun.No matter how good it sounds to be said in the future, no matter how perfect it is to say [Blue Star No. 1].However, the doubts about [Blue Star One] will definitely not decrease, but will be more.The most important reason: such a powerful technology and such an exaggerated product would be produced by such a little-known small company.Isn't that doubtful?
If you replace Bluestar One with a giant of Internet companies such as Apple or Google, or a super group such as General Motors.That may be the suspicion that [Blue Star One] has been subjected to, and it will be reduced by more than 100 times.Because when faced with these giant companies.Although the technical details and abilities of [Blue Star One] are still a bit exaggerated and abnormal.But out of confidence in the scientific research strength of these large companies, there is also funding.It will be more trusting.If it weren't for the presence of many scientists in the field of environmental science.No one will even question it.It will simply be identified as a scammer product of a scam company.It's like the fake high-tech products of fake high-tech companies that happen almost every year in Silicon Valley.With these Taishan Beidou, who are famous in the field of environmental protection.
[Blue Star One] has been greatly questioned at present.But fortunately, it was not directly identified as a scammer product of an electronics company.Next, it will be up to Blue Star to prove itself in the future.The major international media that were able to access the interview, as well as the Los Angeles Times, the only major media in the United States, immediately published today's press conference.The tabloids near Los Angeles and the Bay Area, the small tech newspapers, were also published immediately.This press conference was quickly known to the world.As for whether it will turn into a worldwide scam joke.It depends on whether the next [Blue Star One] is really so powerful.However, Blue Star has not yet had time to prove itself in the future.But the news about it, as well as the details of the ability of [Blue Star One], has been quietly spread in a certain circle at the fastest speed.…………………………………… Dune Road, also known as Sand Hill Road.Just as Wall Street in New York is synonymous with the financial industry, Dune Road is synonymous with venture capital firms; However, unlike Wall Street investment banks, Wall Street investment banks mostly invest in finance and traditional industries, and venture capital companies invest mostly in high-tech enterprises.Therefore, it has become a holy place for entrepreneurs.The most prestigious building on this road, which is only two or three kilometers long, is 3000 Dune Road.It is built on top of a beautiful hill with a beautiful view of the seaside from the top of the mountain.The flowers and trees on the hillside are carefully pruned, BMW and Mercedes-Benz are lined up in the parking lot, Rolls-Royce and Bentley are interspersed, and all kinds of sports cars can be seen everywhere.This deliberately arranged pastoral scene exudes a splendid and extravagant quality of life.The world's best-known venture capitalists are crammed into this building, and they are all in one place, and they are shaping the fate of entrepreneurs in every country.There are more than 20 large venture capital firms in just one building.The company where Alfertley once worked.KPCB, which has successfully invested in Sun, AOL, Compaq Computer, Genomics, eBay, Amazon, and other current giants, is in it.KPCB Corporation (KleinerPerkinsCaufield & amp; Founded in 1972, Byers is the largest venture fund in the United States, mainly responsible for the investment business of major universities.The name of the company is based on the initials of the four founders.In recent years, KPCB's reputation has grown and has almost surpassed that of Sequoia Capital.KPCB Corporation.KPCB partner John Doerr is in his office, courteously entertaining an elderly man.If the reporter in the press conference was here, he would definitely recognize the identity of this old man, who is Professor Perry McCarty of Stanford University."
Professor.This is my black tea flown in from a tea plantation in Darjeeling, India. ”"Please try it."
John Dole smiled and skillfully brewed tea, making tea.Sit across from him.Professor McCarty took a sip of the top black tea with a mellow red color, and his face showed an expression of enjoyment.The black tea of Darjeeling is produced in the Darjeeling Plateau in the foothills of the Himalayas in the northern part of West Bengal Province in India.The local temperature difference between day and night in the Darjeeling Highlands is large, and the clouds and mist are perennial, but the daytime sunshine is very abundant, so it gives birth to the unique aroma of Darjeeling black tea, which is of high quality and grape aroma, and is known as the "champagne of black tea".Darjeeling black tea from this origin is one of the world's three most fragrant teas."
Very good!"
Professor McCarty, who likes to drink black tea, exclaimed, "This black tea is better than the Assam black tea I bought for more than 100 dollars a pound." ”John Dore smiled.The best batch of tea produced in his tea garden is not sold on the market, because he actually loves to drink black tea.But except for the best batch, the rest of the tea, selected high-quality tea will still be sold.The price of those defective products sold internationally is more than 200 US dollars per pound!
Not to mention the top quality of the ones that are drunk now, if you sell the ones you drink now.Prices start at $800 to $1,200 a pound!
The taste is naturally not comparable to the bargains that Professor McCarty drinks.Seeing Professor McCarty's drunkenness, John Dole took the opportunity to propose: "Since the professor likes this black tea, my tea garden can produce dozens of pounds every year."
I've already had the 20 pounds delivered this year to the professor's home. ”Professor McCarty hesitated, his face hesitant, "That's not good. ”"Haha!
It's rare that we are all people who love black tea.In the United States, this hobby is not common.This kind of black tea can only be tasted by people like you and me!
”John Dole said so much that he didn't blink an eye at giving out gifts worth tens of thousands of dollars at once.compared to the information that can be obtained next.Tens of thousands of dollars of tea are nothing.Unexpectedly, Professor McCarty didn't accept it directly, but smiled and asked, "Since it's already been sent."
Then I'll take it, but I have to pay, and I'll take the best tea I bought, $300 a pound, and $6,000, right?
Wait a minute, I'll ask my assistant to go to your account. ”John Doerr's teeth ached for a while, and he said in his heart: This is not good!
It seems that tens of thousands of dollars are not enough.But fortunately, he was prepared.As the only one of the KPCB partners who likes to drink black tea, John Doerr was sent to contact Professor McCarty, who also loves black tea.Before coming over to make contact.A small internal meeting had already been held, and how to operate it had already been decided.John Doerr simply said, "Professor McCarty!
KPCB would like to hire you as a consultant in the company's environmental protection field!
$100,000 per year!
”With a position and an annual salary of 100,000 yuan, the price of hiring a top Stanford university like Professor McCarty as a consultant is actually not expensive.Not to mention now.KPCB wants to know if Bluestar's future [Bluestar No. 1] is really that powerful.What's that little money?
