Chapter 321: Novartis' Desperate Situation, a new member of the Brainstorming Group
Novartis, the world's second-largest pharmaceutical group, has a freshwater biology institute on the shores of Lake Constance.
At this moment, the research institute was in a gloomy fog, and through the glass door, Professor Pierre's roar could be clearly heard, and he was losing his temper at his assistant, his gray hair standing on end, and his eyes showing a fierce light, like an angry old hound.
"The professor seems excited." Sim Khan said in his German with the smell of Indian curry: "I really didn't expect that this piranha is so resistant, Professor Pierre's team is helpless against it, we have great hopes, but in the end there is nothing to do, this should be the real reason why the professor is angry, because of frustration, so angry." ”
Director Graff grimaced and did not speak.
Switzerland is a strange country, with three official languages: Italian, French, and German, and the Swiss generally have a fairly fluent level of English.
As for the Swiss language, you ask?
Unfortunately, there is no Swiss language in this world, there are no Swiss people, they are ethnographically a group of Germanic people living in the mountains, and they are related to the Germans and Austrians.
Sim Khan, who is of Indian origin and speaks French and German fluently, is commendable, but Graf hears a hint of sarcasm in his words.
After all, Sim Khan advocated cooperation with Xingchen Technology at the beginning, and the reason why the cooperation broke down was precisely because of the intervention of Graf and the board of directors.
"You refused to listen to me at the beginning, but now it's okay, we're in big trouble." Sim Khan thought quietly in his heart.
Through the floor-to-ceiling glass, Graf saw Professor Pierre sitting on a chair after scolding his assistant, rubbing his head in pain, and in just a week, the professor's hair was much whiter.
Graf gritted his teeth, "This complaining Frenchman! If it weren't for Pierre's repeated claims that he must have a way to deal with piranhas, I wouldn't have fallen for him! ”
Sim Khan quietly glanced at Graf, and said in his heart, "Boss, you are shirking your responsibility, no matter what, you found this old French man." ”
The two of them left quietly, there was no need to look any further, if Professor Pierre had a way, he would not have come to this point, it was obvious that he had exhausted his skills and had nothing to do.
Back in the office, Graf flipped through the company's phone book and muttered, "Can't we find the right people in our group to do the job?" We have 93 laboratories around the world! ”
Sim Khan shook his head slightly, "I'm afraid Xingchen Technology is right." ”
Graf looked up at him suddenly, "What did you say?" ”
Sim Khan said in a deep voice: "This is not an ordinary mermaid of southern gourmet food, they have amazing evolutionary ability and resistance, and we want to destroy them by chemical means, which was the wrong choice from the beginning." ”
"And Xingchen Technology chose physical extermination, and researched a method to physically eliminate piranhas, which shows that they have long been prepared for the harm of this strange fish."
Graf was silent, the piranha was extremely cunning, it was difficult to rely on capture, and Professor Pierre's side was always fruitless, the longer the time dragged on, the more detrimental it would be to Novartis, what should I do?
Graf looked at Sim Khan with an inquiring look.
Sim Khan said helplessly: "The capture team has worked very hard, but relying on the capture to kill the piranhas is really an impossible task, I am afraid that in the end, we still have to ask Xingchen Technology for help." ”
"Ask those Huaxia people?"
"Yes, you also saw that day, Xingchen Technology has the natural enemies of piranhas, and that kind of black big fish is not a threat to humans at all, I have to say that their methods are really clever, everything in nature is restrictive, they use biotechnology to modify the laws of nature, which is incomparable to any medicine and method."
Graff felt his head as big as a fight, and he said with a bitter face, "Xingchen Technology said that they won't come back, even if we go to beg them, I'm afraid we won't be able to make them change their minds, right?" ”
Sim Khan said helplessly, "Then you have to give it a try, it's better than sitting still, right?" I believe that everything in the world has a price, and as long as we can come up with a big price, there will be opportunities. ”
Sim Khan was close to convincing Graf of the gravity of the situation and that there was no other way out of the way to solve this piranha crisis than to turn to Stellar Tech.
But at this moment, something happened that they never dreamed of.
A laboratory worker broke into the office in a panic, he even forgot to knock on the door, his face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were full of horror.
"It's over, we're finished!" The staff member said in a hoarse voice.
"Don't panic, make things clear." Sim Khan hurriedly said loudly.
The staff swallowed heavily and left a newspaper still on the coffee table, "It's been exposed, the Munich Welt newspaper reported the news of piranhas in Lake Constance!" Now the whole of Europe, the whole world knows about it! ”
Call~
Sim Khan and Graf gasped at the same time, their faces as dead ash as they heard this.
The next step in the news exposure should be for the authorities to intervene in the investigation.
Everything is really over, I didn't promise the conditions of Xingchen Technology at the beginning, and now it's too late to say yes.
......
Hudu, the headquarters of Xingchen Technology.
Luo Jia fell into deep thought in her office, and at this moment, Graf, the executive director of Novartis Pharmaceutical Group, was waiting anxiously outside the door, like an ant on a hot pot.
An Ran chuckled and said: "I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place, in my opinion, Novartis was desperate, so he came to us for help, and it was the director of Graf who refused us to come in person, anyway, I think it, no matter what the result is, Novartis is full of sincerity this time." ”
Li Moran said in a deep voice: "European laws are very strict, and the current situation is that there are piranhas in Lake Constance, and this matter has been poked out by the Munich Welt Zeitung, and the EU is investigating." ”
"Novartis can't carry it for too long, and their only choice now is to ask us for help to solve the trouble at Lake Constance as soon as possible, so that the EU may open the net and let Novartis go, so that they will not be fined and ruined."
An Ran waved his hand, "You overestimate those Europeans, the EU is not a gentleman, I don't know if Graf was sent by the EU, in the West, the most powerful are the media and the masses." ”
"Once the media knows that those piranhas are related to Novartis, even if the EU wants to keep Novartis, the European people will not agree, so they must solve this crisis immediately, before public opinion ferments."
Li Moran nodded slightly, "That's the truth, Novartis is the largest pharmaceutical group in Europe, directly competing with Pfizer and Samerdon in North America, and the relationship between Europe and North America is also very complicated, and the EU never wants Novartis to fall and give up the market to North American companies, so it should secretly protect Novartis." ”
"The only question now is whether we should help Novartis, in the current situation, no matter what conditions we propose, Novartis can only agree, the life science center is being built, if we can take this opportunity to knock Novartis, it will be a good opportunity for us to enter the biopharmaceutical industry."
An Ran scratched his head, "Of course, it's good to knock Novartis, and it's even better to take the opportunity to enter the medical field, but don't forget, Mr. Luo has been ruthless, and he wants Novartis to suffer by himself, if he breaks his promise now, it won't look good." ”
"Besides, even if we don't knock Novartis a sum, we still have the strength to carry out biopharmaceutical research, we are a scientific research group, not a blackmail group, and the huge Xingchen Technology is not extorted by blackmail."
Regarding Enron's words, Li Moran has a different judgment, "We can indeed engage in biopharmaceuticals on our own, but in that case, the time will be extended indefinitely, and it will take a few years to say the least, before we can plant our own banner in the field of biopharmaceuticals." ”
"Novartis is one of the largest pharmaceutical groups in the world, and we can take this opportunity to knock off one of their arms directly, which can accelerate the progress of entering the pharmaceutical industry."
Everyone is a smart person, and An Ran and Li Moran's judgments are reasonable, so the decision is back in Luo Jia's hands, and the key is to see how the boss chooses.
Suddenly, Luo Jia looked at Shen Lang in the corner, the little guy held his chin and didn't say a word, and seemed to be thinking.
"Shen Lang, what do you think?" Luo Jia asked. Li Moran and An Ran also turned their heads to stare at him.
Shen Lang thought for a while, "Not long ago, the teacher asked me to read Machiavelli, Frederick and Bismarck. ”
Luo Jia smiled and asked, "So what?" ”
Shen Lang said, "So I think we should accept Novartis' plea." ”
"Oh." Luo Jia's eyes lit up, "Then I'm going to break my word, in front of Graf, I'm going to let them fend for themselves." ”
Shen Lang said seriously, "But the teacher's broken promise can be exchanged for huge benefits, children can distinguish between right and wrong, adults only talk about interests, in history, because of the inability to wipe face, and there are too many examples of missing strategic opportunities." ”
"Assuming that Xiang Yu killed Liu Bang at the Hongmen Banquet, I'm afraid this world would have been different for a long time, right?"
"The more you read history, the more you will find that those who are truly successful, no one is a moral model, when it is time to make a decision, they can endure humiliation and burden, and even be scolded by future generations and do not care, successful people do not be moral models, they only make the right choice."
"The current situation is very obvious, Novartis has a request for us, if we agree, we can take the opportunity to enter the field of biopharmaceuticals, the teacher doesn't often say, in the top 50 pharmaceutical companies in the world, there is not even a Chinese company, it is too embarrassing."
"Now there is an opportunity to tie the world's second largest pharmaceutical company to our chariot and kill the pharmaceutical industry monopolized by the foreign powers in one fell swoop!"
"And if the teacher refuses, he can indeed save his face and let the whole world know that the teacher is a ruthless character who speaks, but in the end, there will still be no Huaxia in the top 50 global pharmaceutical companies."
"So I think the teacher should have an open attitude and seriously discuss the conditions with the Novartis Group, instead of rejecting them from thousands of miles away, compared to the goal of the stars and the sea, what is it at the moment."
After Shen Lang said this, there was silence in the office.
Luo Jia smiled and nodded lightly with satisfaction, while An Ran and Li Moran were stunned by Shen Lang's wonderful performance, this demon has subverted everyone's worldview again and again, and he will not be thirteen years old until August this year!
When his peers were still watching anime and playing games, Shen Lang was already the top thinker around Luo Jia, and he was on a par with Xingchen!
"Makes sense." Luo Jia nodded lightly, "My face must not be important, what matters is our goal." ”
He pressed the phone on the desk and said to his colleagues outside, "Ask a representative from Novartis to come in." ”
Shen Lang stood up and prepared to leave, he was too young, Luo Jia was deliberately protecting him to prevent Shen Lang from being exposed to the public's eyes too soon, except for the people in the company who knew that Luo Jia had a peerless little genius by his side, and the outside world didn't actually know about it.
However, this time, Luo Jia suddenly stopped Shen Lang.
"You'd better stay." Luo Jia said in a deep voice: "From today onwards, you, as my personal assistant, will officially join the brainstorming team. ”
