Chapter 412 These are the ten seconds that changed history
Time passed little by little and Taylor left the Protoss Group headquarters. Although the assistants were surprised by Taylor's clothes, no one dared to ask.
"Boss, why is she wearing your sportswear?" Gao Jin's assistant Sonia didn't have so many concerns and directly asked about Taylor's clothes.
"It's nothing, she feels hot and wants to cool down a little bit," Gao Jin said with a smile and turned back to the room.
Sonia immediately glanced sideways at Gao Jin, conveying a very clear message, you guys are cheating!
Gao Jin didn't bother to explain, so he turned to Jane and said, "Jane, come in here."
After saying that, he returned to the office, and Jane followed him in. Not long after, Jane came out holding Sonia's clothes and threw them directly into the trash can.
Sonia asked beside Jane, "How is it? Is it a mess inside?"
"You are wrong. She took off her clothes to threaten the boss, but she failed in the end." Jane said calmly, having just watched Gao Jin's computer screen in the room.
"No way!" Sonia had a shocked expression on her face, unable to believe this.
"It's true, I won't joke about this kind of thing." Jane said this very seriously. She was also very shocked when she watched the video.
The two of them went to the small office and began to whisper about the matter in a low voice. After hearing Jane tell the story, Sonia really couldn't believe the fact.
Taylor is Sonia's idol and a representative of independent women. It is simply unbelievable that she would resort to such methods.
Early the next morning, Taylor took a plane and left Tianchaori Morning Market. Before boarding the plane, he called the company's public relations department to issue a notice of a press conference.
He only said that there was a major announcement, and said nothing else.
Three days passed slowly, and many media reporters gathered in Silicon Valley, almost two hundred people.
This time, several large media outlets even specially sent news gathering vehicles.
Many reporters came with the goal of becoming famous.
CNN Media Group is even ready to broadcast live, knocking the entrepreneurial goddess from the clouds to the earth, which is definitely a topic worthy of hype.
This hot topic will greatly increase the company's ratings and will also allow many people to receive generous bonuses.
As for the life and death of Taylor Holmes, these people don't care at all. In their opinion, exposing a liar makes them just.
This morning, reporters came to the lawn in front of the One Drop of Blood Health Company building, and many people began to prepare.
Taylor stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window of the office, looking at the reporters below with a calm expression, and no information could be seen on his face.
"Boss, it's time," assistant Maisie said next to Taylor.
Taylor nodded and turned around and walked towards the office door. Maisie followed quickly. The two of them left the office and entered the elevator, and soon arrived downstairs.
As soon as I walked out of the lobby, I remembered the sound of "click", "click" and "click". The dense sound of license plates.
Taylor came to the podium and looked at the reporters and said directly, "I know you have a lot of questions. Please let me announce something first, and I will give everyone time to ask questions."
Hearing Taylor's words, the reporter with ulterior motives did not ask questions for the time being. Within a few dozen seconds, Taylor could not change his fate today.
They never imagined that this would change history in ten seconds.
"Thank you friends from the media for coming, I have something to announce today."
"The development of the Dico tester of One Drop of Blood Health Company failed. We were unable to meet the promised 300 test goals. Starting today, we will begin accepting returns from consumers."
"Here, I apologize to those investors who trusted me. I have failed to live up to your expectations!"
"If you want to withdraw your capital, you can call me at any time, or come to the company in person to start negotiations. I will do my best to protect the rights and interests of investors."
"sorry"
After Taylor said this, he bowed to the camera, then straightened up and turned around with tears in his eyes, without giving these reporters any time to react. All the reporters below looked at Taylor in shock.
Several reporters with ulterior motives were dumbfounded and stared blankly at Taylor's back without reacting. By the time they realized it, Taylor had already walked away.
Frank, how could you do this?
It's us who should expose your scam, not you who declare the failure of R&D!
The difference between the two is huge.
When reporters exposed the scam, Taylor was a fraud.
Now that Taylor himself has announced that the research and development has failed, it means that the company's vision and goals have not been achieved, and it is no longer fraudulent.
You know, there was a live broadcast at the scene, and what Taylor just said had been broadcast, making the feast they carefully prepared completely lose its power.
Soon, the whole scene began to become chaotic, and the people watching the live broadcast were also dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, the goddess announced the result.
Many people were heartbroken when they saw the goddess' tearful eyes.
When CNN received the news, the angry editor-in-chief threw the cup, picked up the bench and started smashing the office crazily.
The good news is gone, and all preparations become meaningless. If the original manuscript is released now, it will only be despised by consumers.
Everyone there held a press conference to admit their failure, but here at CNN, you actually said that they were scammed. What bothers consumers the most is the person who arranged the event afterwards.
Taylor walked into the company's R&D department. Hundreds of researchers in white coats looked at Taylor. They all saw Taylor's speech just now.
No one expected Taylor to say this.
"Gentlemen and ladies, I apologize to you."
"If I had listened to your opinions, the company would not have reached this stage. I know many of you think I have deceived consumers."
"This is really not my intention. I really want everyone to have access to cheap, high-performance testing equipment, so that everyone can know their physical condition in advance and receive early treatment to get rid of the torture of the disease."
"I'm too anxious, I"
Taylor said these words with tears in her eyes, which made many male researchers soften their hearts. The tears of beautiful women are still very lethal.
"Everyone, please continue research and development, starting from the prototype."
"Don't worry about your salary. Everyone's salary will be paid on time, I promise."
"If I can't do this, everyone can sue me at that time, please!"
After Taylor finished speaking, he bowed to everyone again, leaving a group of researchers at a loss of what to do.
"Ding ding ding ding ding" Taylor's cell phone rang, "Sorry" Taylor said to everyone, took the phone and turned around to leave.
The call was from an investor. Taylor answered the call and admitted what he had just said at the press conference. If he wanted to withdraw his capital, he should come to the company in three days to start negotiations.
According to business procedures, if a company in which an investor invests fails, he or she can initiate divestment negotiations, and the investor's investment will be refunded according to a certain proportion.
If Taylor is exposed by the media this time, he can no longer play like this. The nature has changed and it is a fraud.
Let me start by saying that and being exposed, the two represent completely different results.
The first call was hung up, then the second call came, the third, the fourth, one after another.
Taylor always said the same thing, asking these people to come to the company to discuss divestment, and he would not run away and would have the courage to take responsibility.
For almost three hours, Taylor plugged in the charger and answered the phone in the office to get over it.
He didn't eat lunch. He drove home directly after get off work in the afternoon and couldn't eat dinner. At about 10 o'clock in the evening, Taylor started making phone calls.
Soon, the call was connected, and Taylor said calmly, "I have done as you asked."
“Very good, executed as planned”
"You are lucky. If you don't announce it today, tomorrow the headlines of CNN and other media will be news exposing you."
"If you don't believe it, you can verify it. I believe you have your own channels."
Gao Jin's voice came from the phone. Everything Taylor did today was executed according to Gao Jin's plan.
"I believe what you said, I have verified it."
Taylor said this very calmly. When she answered the phone in the morning, an investor asked her if she had obtained the inside information in advance that CNN wanted to expose her.
Although Taylor's tone was calm at that time, his heart was already in a turmoil because everything Gao Jin said was correct.
Today is really too risky. If you postpone it until tomorrow, you will definitely be doomed.
"Don't think too much, just follow the plan." After Gao Jin said this, he hung up the phone.
Listening to the disconnection sound coming from the phone, Taylor hung up the phone and sat there alone in a daze. After a while, he let out a long sigh, "Sigh."
One night passed, and on the next day, media outlets of all sizes in the United States began to report on the incident. The video of Taylor's press conference had more than one million views.
A small number of media used the word fraud, but most media did not use this word, and only used the word "the goddess of entrepreneurship fell from the altar".
Even though this is a capital country, most people have respect for entrepreneurs. Many people believe that starting a business requires great courage.
Many Taylor fans expressed regret when they saw the news reports.
Three days passed slowly. Investors and representatives of investment institutions all arrived at One Drop of Blood Health Company. There were many people sitting in the huge conference room.
Big bosses that are usually rare to see appeared today.
Everyone was the same, their faces were very calm. Even though they hated Taylor in their hearts, they didn't show it on their faces. They maintained their proper demeanor.
Soon, the door to the conference room was pushed open, and Taylor appeared dressed as usual. Compared with the previous few days, he was a little thinner and less energetic.
Without saying a word, he just bowed to everyone and expressed his apology first.
"Gentlemen and ladies, please forgive me for betraying your trust. Instead of bringing you profits, I have caused you losses."
"Please believe that this was not my intention"
"I will use my greatest strength to solve this matter"
