Basel is the third largest city in Switzerland, second only to Zurich and Geneva.

However, the so-called big cities in Europe are really unpredictable for Chinese people. Basel has only 170,000 people, which is not as large as any county in China.

However, in this small city, there are two arrogant super companies, namely the Swiss pharmaceutical duo, Roche and Novartis, Novartis ranked second in the world and Roche ranked third in the world.

According to statistics in 2018, Pfizer in North America ranked first in the world with annual sales of US$45.3 billion, while Novartis and Roche were US$41.8 billion and US$41.7 billion respectively, and the gap was not big.

Moreover, in terms of R&D investment in the pharmaceutical group, Swiss pharmaceutical teams all surpassed the world's number one Pfizer.

Among them, Roche Pharmaceuticals invested $9.1 billion, Novartis invested $7.8 billion, while Pfizer's R&D investment was only $7.6 billion.

From this we can see that in the pharmaceutical field, the gap between the Swiss two heroes and North America Pfizer is really small, and it is possible that the Jedi will surpass it at any time.

The fourth-ranked world-wide Sammer East Group has an annual sales of only US$35 billion, which is not in the same level as the three major pharmaceutical companies.

Huawei took out 14.9% of its annual revenue for research and development, and for this reason, the land of China was in an uproar. People were amazed at the crazy investment in Huawei's R&D, and regarded it as a model. The authorities promoted it heavily, fearing that the world would not know.

However, what does the truth look like?

In this world, no company with ambitions has a low R&D investment!

The crazy Roche Pharmaceutical uses 21.8% of its annual revenue for research and development!

Novartis invested 18.6%, Pfizer invested 16.7%, Shammerton Pharmaceutical invested 21.2%, and France's fifth-ranked world's Sanofi actually invested 24.2%!

If you study carefully, the proportion of R&D investment of world-renowned technology companies will find such a fact.

Although Huawei is the pride of China, they are not the craziest in this world, and there are many companies with higher R&D investment than Huawei.

And this is the general law in the field of scientific research in the world.

Huawei's R&D investment is not high, but it seems to be relatively high in the special environment of China.

Most of the successful companies in this world are crazy R&D companies, and Huawei just follows the general rules of the world.

Suppose you have studied the financial statements of the world's top 50 pharmaceutical groups, and you will find a truth. No company in China is selected into the top 50 pharmaceutical companies in the world. There is only one fundamental reason, that is, it does not pay attention to R&D.

The world's strongest pharmaceutical groups have no R&D investments below 15%. In this fiercely competitive field, there has never been the craziest, only even more crazy.

The strongest pharmaceutical group in China is Jiangsu Hengrui Medicine, with annual sales of US$2.1 billion and R&D investment of 12%. The gap is really not small.

After receiving Luo Jia's instructions, Wang Liguo and Cheng Yu drove to Basel, entered the global headquarters of Novartis Group, and showed the rotating Galaxy badge of Star Technology to Novartis' administrative department.

Suddenly, there was a sensation at the front desk. The beautiful blonde picked up the phone and informed him layer by layer. The chief executive of Star Technology Group's European Region visited him in person. This was a big deal for Novartis Group.

Facts have proved that Xingchen Technology's current status in the world is extraordinary. When Wang Liguo entered Novartis Group, it was already 4:30 pm, with only 30 minutes left before getting off work.

Soon after, news came from the president's office that the company's senior management would meet Wang Liguo and delay the get off work time for this.

Shrugged, Wang Liguo and Cheng Yu walked into the elevator. As members of the tough guy group, they have always been unable to stand the lazy and casual working habits of Europeans. They just get off work late, and they are like a big deal.

In fact, Basel is a German-speaking region. The locals speak the same language as German Germans, and there is almost no difference in races. It is already a representative of the great efforts of the whole of Europe.

In Latin-speaking areas, such as Greece, Italy, Spain, France, etc., Europeans are so inefficient that they can kill the Chinese.

The blonde girl with big wavy hairstyle pushed open the door of a conference room. Wang Liguo and Cheng Yu walked in and met Novartis president Sim Khan.

He is Indian and dark-skinned. He has such a high position in a white-dominated enterprise, which shows that Sim Khan still has a few tricks.

However, as the president of Star Technology in Europe, Wang Liguo is not an ordinary person. This theoretical physicist and an outstanding graduate of London Business School, his professional knowledge spans science and business. Although Star Technology is genius, there are not many who have such a large professional span.

After a few greetings, Wang Liguo went straight to the topic and explained his purpose.

The matter has come to this point, and Star Technology has come to him. Sim Khan actually talks about him and refuses to admit that there has been a serious safety accident in Novar.

After hearing this, Wang Liguo smiled and said to Sim Khan: "Mr. President, we are not here to hold you accountable today, but to save you!"

"Although Lake Constance is not big, the other side of the lake is Germany. You can reach Strasbourg, France, along the Lin River. The lower reaches of the Lin River connect Austria and Italy, and finally merge into the Mediterranean."

"The entire European water system is interconnected. If you continue to drag it down, you will likely drag the entire Europe into the water!"

"Don't blame us for not reminding you at that time."

Sim Khan's dark face twitched a few times. He thought quickly for a few minutes and asked tentatively, "Do you have a way to destroy that creature?"

This is considered admitting.

Wang Liguo glanced at Cheng Yu and nodded, "Of course, we have mastered the natural enemies of that kind of creature. While they are still in Lake Constance and have not been transferred to the European continent, this is the last chance."

Sim Khan gritted his teeth and said that this matter could not be delayed anymore. If piranhas breed in large quantities in Lake Constance and spread to the whole of Europe, Sim Khan and Novartis will definitely die without a burial place.

As for whether Sim Khan believes that Star Technology can eliminate piranhas.

Of course I believe it, because the sample was stolen from Xingchen Technology. The peerless genius Wen brothers have joined Xingchen Technology and will preside over the latest established life science department. Sim Khan is also very clear about this.

"What are the conditions? What are the conditions you want?" asked Sim Khan.

Wang Liguo shrugged, "It's very simple. I'll give us what should be returned to us. I'll destroy everything in the laboratory. You will bear all the costs of this last operation."
