This also is why, when Theranos was without omen ground to decline from altar 2015 cereal bottom, those investor that believe Holmes were full of astonish and astonishment: This girl that does not arrive 20 years old is to have what magic power after all, can use a nonexistent product, dally with these old fox at between the palm?
Him Holmes the poineering legend that the story is a standard.

Likelihood also because of such domestic environment, elizabeth showed as a child with other child's different idea and aspiration: She longs to change the world, longing can find oneself can struggle for it the target of lifetime. For this she can abandon everything her.
2003, reading at that time big the Holmes of 2 thought of that can change world spot: Make an OK and cheap, apace undertake to the patient all-around the device of hematic check, make Everyman OK master his body state at any time.
Without any hesitation, she is decisive from Stanford discontinue one's studying, the supportive open that relies on parents Theranos, became the nova that Silicon Valley rises another times gradually.

The headquarters of Theranos studies in the Stanford with famous Silicon Valley garden area, made neighbour with the company of well-known science and technology such as Gu Ge, Facebook.
Everybody knows, silicon Valley is the bethel of the person that industry of American science and technology does poineering work.
There is one to plant here approximately enthusiastic to innovation and technology like adore. Adventurer people taking a huge sum of money, to each like gamble poineering company throws money. And the person that do poineering work people invest to strive for, also contend for exaggerated investor of oneself product, deceit.
Silicon Valley has a saw: Fake It Until You Make It, pretend till oneself can go really till oneself all right.

The fact proves, holmes special the financing game that is good at this kind of Silicon Valley.
Almost all contact crosses the investor of Holmes to be able to tell you: Holmes has a kind of inexpressible magic power.
? Her eyes is sturdy, sound is composed
When Holmes is staring at you to look, be like each word can respecting goes in your the bottom of one's heart. She is like omniscient, omnipotent, talk about time 5 minutes to as if with her oneself can suddenly see the light finds life sense.
Have leadership particularly, look special rely on chart.
An investor accepts later when interviewing, say: There is the holy god feeling like a kind of angel if she says, two put light, whole person resembled wearing halo general.
"As if saw Qiaobusinian is light the appearance of moment "

Depend on a kind of such capacity that exceed a god namely, the investment that Holmes attracts is increasing.

Want to know, these politician that withdraw house second line once dominant the mainest event on American history: Jump over war of incident of battle, floodgate, Iraq... can saying is the part like person essence of life.
These high official are the platform of Holmes, saying basically namely: Complete United States, did not compare this more rely on the investment project of chart. The high point to 2014 when, the appraise value of Theranos had exceeded 10 billion dollar.
This kind is successful, made a company in-house also appear to adore to the individual of Holmes:
Discontinue one's studying does poineering work, financing one billion four hundred and ten million and sixty-five thousand four hundred and eight, world of women's right pioneer, change, next Qiaobusi... when all when these symbols are added on one individual body, holmes had become a spirit.
"At that time my feeling is, the carpet that she has walked along somebody can want to be kissed gently "
But on the other hand, the research of Holmes is without progress however.
Incorrect research detail becomes specific explanation here. Anyhow, through 10 old the several investment of 100 million, they still cannot produce the product that the world can change in that Holmes brain.
The technology is a technology. No matter Holmes has many hard, also do not have a law the force by oneself lets science fiction become reality. More what is more,the rather that she did not read even undergraduate course.
When just beginning to do poineering work, holmes invited the expert inside a lot of industries, want to build up the most powerful head captures the difficult problem of miniaturization of hematic check instrument.

But as research continuity, these expert scholars begin to keep reacting to Holmes: I am sorry be not done, your requirement very not actual. To continue to consider, holmes leaves to say to her besides these not expert, turn and invite applications for a job is all to her of requirement always follow sb's advice " expert " .
To 2014, the scientific research group of Theranos, can say to leave a flock of a disorderly band only: Besides what mix salary, namely by Holmes brainwashing.

But in the world in investor, the cake that Holmes draws to investor is bigger and bigger: Research obtains breakthrough, product to had shaped, can change the world immediately.
She expects, rely on such means assemble more capital, the company that can allow oneself completes research and development in the last moment.
Fake It Until You Make It.
To continue to persuade investor, holmes becomes crankier and crankier, more and more by hook and crook.
She built a false blood test establishment in company headquarters.

Look around every time before investor, holmes can arrange blood test experience to them. Her employee can be in another lab fill the blood in capsule to be taken out, the instrument that uses Xi Menzi next undertakes detecting to blood...
Divide this beyond, because built a holiday to had made tacit common sense in company interior, holmes intensified the control to him employee.
Internal postal matter of company of nucleus of their joint hearing, monitor total telephone call and network record.
Each employee that leave one's post, be asked to sign confidential agreement of Yan Ke, cannot divulge any information of any concerned companies, or see with respect to the court.

Almost all because of the employee that stung by conscience and resigns, got the ado of Holmes lawyer. The biochemist Ian Gibbons that still has finish school of college of a Cambridge among them can'ts bear pressure of front courtyard careful and commit suicide.
In Holmes so ironhanded regnant below, her company is able to continue to side with the inevitable travel before breaking down...
Paper does not include fire of course.
The agreement that Walgreen of the 2nd big chemist's shop signs Holmes and United States, the machine of requirement Holmes appeared on the market formally 2015 use.
Holmes still took the machine of her piece together forcibly.

Its result, namely countless people received bad unusual blood check to report, a lot of people are informed even: Oneself got incurable disease. Negative news is increasing, till daily of last wall street whole thing exposure, the mythological ability of Theranos runs quickly finally;burst;ulcerate;fester.

Holmes is mixed to invested people to tell a court with crime of fraud by her client, the likelihood should be waited for all one's life be in the jail.

Whole thing most make everybody infatuate, as good as the character charm at him Holmes.
Some people say she is a swindler, it is chronic fabulist, be by hook and crook narcissism is mad.
Also somebody feels she is very ideal to her certainly, can dig group potential, it is a great leader. It is the end that she means to reach only, honest too difficult.
These two kinds of evaluations do not contradict actually: Her succeed and fail, it is the child of her disposition
Ground of home of intentional a Confucian school of idealist philosophy of the Song and Ming Dynasties the behavior of Holmes, speculation gives her may be one has the person that opposes social character.
And those who want is different, turning over social character is not cold blood killer. Great majority has the person that opposes social character to be able to live in normal society well.
The person that turn over social character to carry often lies chronically, because they do not have the feeling sufferring a pain when the law feels normal person is lying, lying mix say true word is euqally self-confident. This also explained Holmes is studying again and again below the circumstance of be rebuffed, OK still remain calm ground and investor speak with fervor and assurance.
If change,do normal person, be impossible to have quality of this kind of psychology.
Besides, the typical feature that turns over social character is: Have glamour, narcissism very much apparently, be good at operating others... etc, OK also the behavior with Holmes is one to one correspondence go up.
Be in of course before doing not have psychologist to detect technically, these just still guess.
Nevertheless allegedly, instead social character was occupied probably in total population all over the world 1% , and reached the proportion of 5% in American CEO crowd.
Inside reason, most propbably need not have said more.
