Chapter 321 Novartis' desperate situation, a new member of the brainstorming team
As the world's second largest pharmaceutical group, Novartis has a freshwater biology institute on the shore of Lake Constant.
At this moment, there was a miserable mist in the institute. Through the glass door, Professor Pierre's roar could be clearly heard. He was losing his temper at his assistant. His gray hair stood upright, and his eyes were filled with fierce light, like an angry old hunting dog.
"The professor seems to be very excited," said Sim Khan in his German with Indian curry flavor. "I really didn't expect that this piranha has such strong resistance. Professor Pierre's team was helpless with it. We had great hope, but in the end we had no choice. This should be the real reason why the professor got angry, because he was upset, so he took his anger."
Director Graf had a somber face and didn't say anything.
Switzerland is a very strange country, with three official languages: Italian, French and German. In addition, the English of Swiss people has generally reached a very smooth level.
As for what you ask about Swiss?
Sorry, there is no Swiss language in this world, nor does it exist. From an ethnographic perspective, they are just a group of Germans living in the mountains, with Germans and Austrians being relatives.
As an Indian, Sim Khan can speak French and German fluently, which is really commendable, but Graf heard the sarcasm from his words.
After all, Sim Khan strongly advocated cooperation with Xingchen Technology, and the reason why the cooperation broke down was precisely because of the intervention of Graf and the board of directors. Although Sim Khan did not say it, he was actually a little proud of the experiments.
"You didn't want to listen to me at the beginning. Now, we are upset." Sim Khan thought quietly in his heart.
Through the floor-to-ceiling glass, Graff saw Professor Pierre cursing his assistant and sitting on the chair, rubbing his head in pain. In just one week, the professor's hair turned much white again.
Graff gritted his teeth, "This Frenchman who loves to complain! If Pierre hadn't repeatedly claimed that he would have a way to deal with the piranha, I wouldn't have been fooled by him!"
Sim Khan quietly gave Graf a blank look and said, "Boss, you are shirking responsibility. No matter what, you found this old French man."
The two left quietly, there was no need to watch anymore. If Professor Pierre had a solution, he would not have reached this point today. Obviously, he was already exhausted and had no choice but to do anything.
Back in the office, Graff looked through the company's phone book and muttered, "Can't our group find talents who can do this work? We have ninety-three laboratories around the world!"
Sim Khan shook his head gently, "I'm afraid Xingchen Technology is right."
Graff suddenly looked up at him, "What did you say?"
Sim Khan said in a deep voice: "This is not an ordinary South American piranha. They have amazing evolutionary abilities and resistance. We want to eliminate them in chemical ways, which is the wrong choice from the beginning."
"Star Technology chose to physically eliminate piranhas and has developed a method to physically eliminate piranhas, which shows that they are prepared for the harm of this strange fish."
Graff was silent. The piranha was extremely cunning and it was difficult to achieve success by relying on capture. Professor Pierre never had any results. The longer the time delayed, the more unfavorable it would be for Novartis. What should we do?
Graf looked at Sim Khan with a questioning look.
Sim Khan said helplessly: "The arrest team has worked very hard, but it is really impossible to complete the task by relying on the capture of piranhas. I am afraid that in the end, we will still ask Xingchen Technology for help."
"Please those Chinese?"
"Yes, you also saw that Star Technology controls the natural enemies of piranhas, and that big black fish does not pose any threat to humans. I have to say that their methods are really brilliant, and all things in nature are incompatible. They use biotechnology to modify the laws of nature, which is incomparable to any drug or method."
Graf felt like a big head, and he said with a bitter face, "Xingchen Technology said that they will not come back. Even if we go to beg them, we may not be able to change their minds, right?"
Sim Khan said helplessly, "Then you have to give it a try, it's better than just waiting for death? I believe that everything in the world has a price. As long as we can give a big price, we will definitely have a chance."
Sim Khan was almost convinced by Graf, making him realize the seriousness of the situation and to resolve the piranha crisis, there was no second way except to seek help from Star Technology.
However, at this moment, something they never dreamed of happened.
A laboratory staff member rushed into the office in a panic. He even forgot to knock on the door, his face pale as paper and his eyes were full of fear.
"It's over, we're done!" the staff member said in a hoarse voice.
"Don't panic, make it clear." Sim Khan said hurriedly.
The staff swallowed heavily and spitted a newspaper on the coffee table. "It was exposed. Le Monde Munich reported the news that there were piranhas in Lake Constance! Now the whole of Europe and the whole world know about this!"
Huh ~
When Sim Khan and Graf heard these words, they gasped and their faces were ashamed.
The next step in the news exposure should be the authorities intervening in the investigation.
Everything is really over. It was too late to agree to Xingchen Technology's conditions at the beginning.
......
Hudu, Xingchen Technology Headquarters.
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 pan.
An Ran chuckled and said, "If I had known this, why wouldn't it be? In my opinion, Novartis was desperate and came to ask us for help. And Director Graff, who had rejected us, came in person. Anyway, I think, no matter what the result is, Novartis is full of sincerity this time."
Li Moran said in a deep voice: "European law is very strict. The current situation is that there are piranhas in Lake Constance. This matter has been exposed by Le Monde Munich, and the EU is investigating it."
"Novartis Group can't handle it for too long. Their only choice now is to ask us for help and solve the troubles of Lake Constance as soon as possible. In this way, the EU may open the door and let Novartis Group run its course so that they will not be punished and will lose all their money."
An Ran waved his hand, "You overestimate those Europeans. The EU is not a gentleman. Maybe Graf was sent by the EU. In the West, the most powerful ones 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 resolve the crisis immediately and take advantage of the fermentation of public opinion."
Li Moran nodded slightly and said, "That's the reason. Novartis is the largest pharmaceutical group in Europe. It directly competes with Pfizer and Shammerdong in North America. The relationship between Europe and North America is also very complicated. The EU will never want Novartis to fall and give the market to North American companies, so it should secretly protect Novartis."
"The only question now is whether we should help Novartis. Judging from the current situation, no matter what conditions we have to ask, Novartis can only agree. We are preparing to build a Life Science Center. If we can take this opportunity to win Novartis, it will be a good opportunity for us to enter the biopharmaceutical industry."
An Ran grabbed his head, "It's certainly good to knock Novartis, and it's a better idea to take the opportunity to enter the medical field, but don't forget that Mr. Luo has been ruthless and wants Novartis to suffer. If he breaks his promise now, his face will not look good."
"Besides, even if we don't make a deal with Novartis, we are still capable of conducting biopharmaceutical research. We are a scientific research group, not a blackmail group. The huge Star Technology is not a blackmailing group."
Li Moran has a different judgment on An Ran's words, "We can indeed do biopharmaceuticals, but in that case, the time will be infinitely extended. It will take at least several years before we can put our own banner in the field of biopharmaceuticals."
"And Novartis is one of the largest pharmaceutical groups in the world. We took this opportunity to knock one of their arms off to speed up the progress of entering the pharmaceutical industry."
Everyone is smart, and An Ran and Li Moran’s judgments make sense. In this way, the decision-making power is back to Luo Jia’s hands. 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 said nothing, as if he was thinking.
"Shen Lang, what do you think?" Luo Jia asked. Li Moran and An Ran also turned their heads and stared at him.
Shen Lang thought for a while, "Not long ago, the teacher asked me to read Machiavelli, Frederick and Bismarck."
Luo Jia asked with a smile, "So what?"
Shen Lang said, "So I think we should accept the Novartis Group's plea."
"Oh." Luo Jia's eyes lit up, "Why am I going to break my promise? In front of Graf, I asked them to fend for themselves."
Shen Lang said seriously, "But the teacher's breakup can bring huge benefits. Only children can distinguish right from wrong. Adults only talk about interests. In history, there are too many examples of missing strategic opportunities because they cannot erase their face."
"Suppose Xiang Yu killed Liu Bang at the Hongmen Banquet, this world is probably different, right?"
"The more you read history, the more you will find that no one is a moral model for those truly successful people. When decisions are needed, they can endure humiliation and even be scolded by later generations without caring. Successful people do not be moral models, they only make the right choices."
"The situation is very obvious now. Novartis has something to ask for. If we agree, we can take the opportunity to enter the field of biopharmaceuticals. The teacher often says that there is not even a Chinese company in the top 50 pharmaceutical companies in the world. It's so embarrassing."
"Now there is an opportunity to tie the world's second largest pharmaceutical company to our chariot and attack the pharmaceutical industry monopolized by the great powers!"
"If the teacher refuses, he can indeed protect his face and let the whole world know that the teacher is a ruthless person who keeps his word. However, in the end, there will still be no Chinese in the top 50 pharmaceutical companies in the world."
"So I think the teacher should have an open attitude and discuss the conditions with Novartis Group seriously, rather than rejecting them from thousands of miles away. Compared with the goal of the starry sea, what is it now?"
After Shen Lang said these words, the office was silent.
Luo Jia smiled and nodded slightly with satisfaction. An Ran and Li Moran were stunned by Shen Lang's wonderful performance. This monster has repeatedly subverted everyone's worldview, and he will not be thirteen until August this year!
When his peers were still watching anime and playing games, Shen Lang was already the top think tank around Luo Jia, and he was on the same side as Xingchen!
"What he said makes sense." Luo Jia nodded slightly, "My face must not be important, what is important is our goal."
He pressed the phone on the table and said to his colleagues outside, "Please come in with the representative of the Novartis Group."
Shen Lang stood up and prepared to leave. He was too young. Luo Jia was deliberately protecting him to avoid Shen Lang being exposed to the public's sight too early. Except for the people in the company, Luo Jia had a peerless genius around him, which the outside world actually didn't understand.
However, this time, Luo Jia suddenly stopped Shen Lang.
Chapter completed!
