巴塞尔是瑞士第三大城市，仅次于苏黎世和日内瓦。
Basel is the third largest city in Switzerland, after Zurich and Geneva.
不过欧洲所谓的大城市对华夏人来说，实在有些摆不上台面，巴塞尔总共才十七万人，还不如华夏随便一个县城的规模。
However, the so-called big cities in Europe are really not on the table for Chinese people. There are only 170,000 people in Basel, which is not as large as any county in China.
然而在这座不大的城市里，却有两家不可一世的超级企业，它们就是瑞士制药双雄，罗氏和诺华，诺华排名全球第二，罗氏排名全球第三。
However, in this small city, there are two powerful super companies. They are the Swiss pharmaceutical duo, Roche and Novartis. Novartis ranks second in the world, and Roche ranks third in the world.
根据2018年的统计，北美辉瑞排名全球第一，年销售额四百五十三亿美元，诺华和罗氏，分别为四百一十八亿美元和四百一十七亿美元，差距并不算大。
According to statistics in 2018, Pfizer in North America ranked first in the world, with annual sales of 45.3 billion US dollars, Novartis and Roche, respectively, 41.8 billion US dollars and 41.7 billion US dollars, the gap Not too big.
而且在制药集团最重要的一项，研发投入上，瑞士制药双雄全部超过了世界第一的辉瑞。
Moreover, in terms of R&D investment, the most important aspect of a pharmaceutical group, the Swiss pharmaceutical duo has surpassed the world’s number one Pfizer.
其中罗氏制药投入九十一亿美元，诺华投入七十八亿美元，而辉瑞的研发投入，只有七十六亿美元。
Among them, Roche invested US$9.1 billion, Novartis invested US$7.8 billion, and Pfizer’s R&D investment was only US$7.6 billion.
由此可以看出，在制药领域中，瑞士双雄和北美辉瑞的差距，真的只是微乎其微，随时有可能绝地反超。
It can be seen from this that in the field of pharmaceuticals, the gap between the Swiss duo and North American Pfizer is really very small, and it is possible to overtake it at any time.
而全球排名第四的沙默东集团，年销售额只有三百五十亿美元，和三大药厂并不在同一个档次。
As for the Salmedon Group, which ranks fourth in the world, its annual sales are only 35 billion US dollars, which is not at the same level as the three major pharmaceutical companies.
华为把每年收入的百分之十四点九，拿出来搞研发，为此华夏大地一片哗然，人们惊叹于华为的研发投入如此疯狂，并且奉为楷模，当局大肆宣传，唯恐天下不知。
Huawei spends 14.9% of its annual revenue on research and development. For this reason, China is in an uproar. .
然而，事实是什么样子的呢？
However, what is the truth?
在这个世界上，凡是有雄心壮志的企业，研发投入就没有一个是低的！
In this world, there is no low R&D investment for any ambitious enterprise!
疯狂的罗氏制药，把年收入中的百分之二十一点八，拿去搞研发！
Crazy Roche Pharmaceuticals spends 21.8% of their annual income on research and development!
诺华投入百分之十八点六，辉瑞投入百分之十六点七，沙默东制药投入百分之二十一点二，排名全球第五的法国赛诺菲，竟然投入了百分之二十四点二！
Novartis invested 18.6%, Pfizer invested 16.7%, and Salmedon invested 21.2%. France’s Sanofi, which ranks fifth in the world, actually invested Twenty-four point two percent!
如果你仔细研究，全球知名科技企业的研发投入比例，就会发现这样一个事实。
If you carefully study the R&D investment ratio of world-renowned technology companies, you will find such a fact.
华为虽然是华夏的骄傲，但在这世界上，他们却还不算最疯狂，研发投入比华为高的企业比比皆是。
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.
而这，正是世界科研领域的普遍规律。
And this is the universal law in the field of scientific research in the world.
华为研发投入并不高，只是因为处在华夏的特殊环境下，显得比较高而已。
Huawei’s investment in research and development is not high, but because it is in China’s special environment, it seems relatively high.
这个世界上大多数成功的企业，都是疯狂研发的企业，华为只不过遵循了世界的普遍规则。
Most successful companies in the world are crazy R&D companies, and Huawei just follows the universal rules of the world.
假设你研究过全球五十大制药集团的财务报表，就会发现一条真理，华夏没有企业入选全球制药五十强，根本原因只有一个，那就是对研发的不重视。
Assuming that you have studied the financial statements of the world’s top 50 pharmaceutical groups, you will find a truth. There is only one fundamental reason why no Chinese company has been selected into the top 50 global pharmaceutical groups, and that is the lack of emphasis on research and development.
全球最强的这批制药集团，研发投入就没有低于百分之十五的，在这个竞争激烈的领域里，向来没有最疯狂，只有更疯狂。
The most powerful pharmaceutical groups in the world don’t invest less than 15% in research and development. In this fiercely competitive field, there has never been the craziest, only crazier.
华夏目前最强的制药集团，是江苏恒瑞医药，年销售二十一亿美元，研发投入百分之十二，这其中的差距，着实不小。
Currently the strongest pharmaceutical group in China is Jiangsu Hengrui Medicine, with annual sales of 2.1 billion US dollars and 12% investment in research and development. The gap between them is not small.
汪立果和程宇在接到罗佳指示后，开车来到巴塞尔，进入诺华集团全球总部，向诺华的行政部门，亮出星辰科技的旋转银河徽章。
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.
顿时间，前台一阵轰动，漂亮的金发女郎拿起电话，一层层向上通报，星辰科技集团欧洲区大总管亲自拜访，这对诺华集团来说，是一件蛮大的事情。
In a short while, there was a commotion at the front desk. The beautiful blonde picked up the phone and reported to the higher level.
事实证明，星辰科技如今的江湖地位超乎寻常，汪立果进入诺华集团的时候已经是下午四点三十分，距离下班只剩下三十分钟。
Facts have proved that Star Technology’s current status in the arena is extraordinary. When Wang Liguo entered the Novartis Group, it was already 4:30 in the afternoon, and there were only 30 minutes left before get off work.
不久后，从总裁办公室传来消息，有请，公司高层将会见汪立果，并为此延迟下班时间。
Shortly after, news came from the president’s office, please, the company’s senior management will meet with Wang Liguo, and the off-duty time will be delayed for this reason.
耸了耸肩，汪立果和程宇步入电梯，作为硬汉天团的成员，他们一向看不惯欧洲人慵懒散漫的工作习惯，不就是晚点下班嘛，搞的和多大事情似得。
Shrugging their shoulders, Wang Liguo and Cheng Yu stepped into the elevator. As members of the Tough Guys, they have never been used to the lazy and sloppy work habits of Europeans. Isn’t it just getting off work late, and it seems like a big deal.
事实上，巴塞尔是德语区，当地人和德国日耳曼人说一样的语言，人种也几乎没有区别，已经是整个欧洲非常努力的代表了。
In fact, Basel is a German-speaking area. The locals speak the same language as the Germanic people in Germany, and there is almost no difference in race. It is already a very hardworking representative of the whole of Europe.
在拉丁语区，诸如希腊，意大利，西班牙，法国之类的地方，欧洲人的办事效率之低，能把华夏人活活急死。
In the Latin-speaking area, such as Greece, Italy, Spain, France, etc., Europeans’ inefficiency in handling affairs can make Chinese people anxious to death.
留着大波浪发型的金发妹子，推开一间会议室的门，汪立果和程宇走进去，见到了诺华总裁西姆汗。
The blond girl with big wavy hairstyle pushed open the door of a conference room, Wang Liguo and Cheng Yu walked in, and met Sim Khan, the president of Novartis.
他是印度裔，皮肤黝黑，在一个由白人主导的企业中，做到如此高位，说明西姆汗还是有几把刷子的。
He is of Indian descent and has dark skin. In a company dominated by whites, he has achieved such a high position, which shows that Sim Khan still has a few brushes.
不过，身为星辰科技驻欧洲大区总裁，汪立果也不是凡人，这位理论物理学家和伦敦商学院的优秀毕业生，其专业知识横跨理科和商科，虽然星辰科技天才如云，但专业跨度这么大的，还真是没有几个。
However, as the president of Xingchen Technology in the European region, Wang Liguo is not an ordinary person. This theoretical physicist and an outstanding graduate of the London Business School, his professional knowledge spans science and business. , but there are really not many with such a wide professional span.
稍微寒暄几句后，汪立果直接进入正题，说明自己的来意。
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wang Liguo went straight to the topic and explained his reason for coming.
事情已经到了这份上，星辰科技都找上门了，西姆汗居然顾左右而言他，死活不承认诺华出了严重安全事故。
The matter has come to this point, and Star Technology has come to the door, Sim Khan actually talked about him, and refused to admit that Novartis had a serious safety accident.
汪立果听完笑了笑，对西姆汗说道：“总裁先生~Soverse.com~我们今天不是来追究责任的，而是来救你们的！”
Wang Liguo smiled after hearing this, and said to Sim Khan: “Mr. President~ Soverse.com~ Today we are not here to pursue responsibility, but to save you!”
“博登湖虽然不大，但湖对岸就是德国，沿着林河而上，能够到达法国斯特拉斯堡，而林河的下游，连接着奥地利和意大利，最终汇入地中海。”
“Although Lake Constance is not big, Germany is on the other side of the lake. Along the Lin River, it can reach Strasbourg, France, and the lower reaches of the Lin River connect Austria and Italy, and finally flow into the Mediterranean Sea.”
“整个欧洲水系是互通的，继续拖下去的话，你们很可能会把整个欧洲都拖下水！”
“The entire European water system is interconnected. If you continue to drag it down, you may drag the whole of Europe into the water!”
“到那时候，别怪我们没有提醒你。”
“At that time, don’t blame us for not reminding you.”
西姆汗黝黑的脸上抽搐了几下，他快速思考了几分钟，试探着问道，“难道你们有办法消灭那种生物？”
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?”
这就算是承认了。
This is an admission.
汪立果看了程宇一眼，点头道：“当然，我们掌握着那种生物的天敌，趁它们还在博登湖，没有转移到欧洲大陆，这是最后的机会了。”
Wang Liguo glanced at Cheng Yu, nodded and said, “Of course, we have the natural enemies of that creature. It is our last chance to take advantage of them being still in Lake Constance and not being transferred to the European continent.”
西姆汗咬了咬牙，这件事真的不能再拖了，万一食人鱼在博登湖里大量繁殖，并且蔓延到整个欧洲，西姆汗和诺华集团，绝对会死无葬身之地。
Sim Khan gritted his teeth. This matter really cannot be delayed any longer. If piranhas multiply in Lake Constance and spread to the whole of Europe, Sim Khan and Novartis Group will definitely die without a burial. land.
至于西姆汗是否相信，星辰科技能够消灭食人鱼。
As for whether Sim Khan believes that Star Technology can eliminate piranhas.
自然是相信的，因为样本就是从星辰科技偷来的，绝世天才温家兄弟，已经加入星辰科技，将主持最新成立的生命科学部，这件事西姆汗也很清楚。
Of course I believe it, because the samples were stolen from Xingchen Technology. The peerless genius Wen brothers have joined Xingchen Technology and will be in charge of the newly established Life Science Department. Sim Khan is also very clear about this.
“条件呢？你们想要什么条件？”西姆汗问道。
“What about the conditions? What conditions do you want?” Sim Khan asked.
汪立果耸了耸肩，“很简单，该还给我们的都还给我们，实验室里该销毁的都销毁，最后这次行动的全部费用，由你们来承担。”
Wang Liguo shrugged, “It’s very simple, return everything that should be returned to us, destroy everything that should be destroyed in the laboratory, and you will bear all the costs of this final operation.”
西姆汗惊呆了，他万万没有想到，星辰科技开出的条件竟然如此简单，该不会有什么猫腻吧
Sim Khan was stunned. He never expected that the conditions offered by Xingchen Technology would be so simple. There must be no tricks
