Physician’s Odyssey
Chapter 1503
Joanna and Su Tao communicated a few words and were in a good mood.
On the one hand, Su Tao took the initiative to contact him, indicating that this Eastern man had not forgotten himself, and on the other hand, the advice given by Su Tao was indeed worth adopting.
Tosca Group also established a subsidiary in London. Because the European Medicines Quality Agency is located in London, all pharmaceutical companies and pharmaceutical talents are gathered there. The subsidiary can not only easily recruit a variety of top talents, but also Knowing the latest important developments in the industry, you can still enjoy policy support, and happily receiving a large amount of scientific research funding subsidies every year is a very profitable investment.
The British government has called for Brexit for many years. Therefore, it is a foregone conclusion that the European Medicines Agency will relocate to Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The building is already under design and is expected to move in in April next year. At the same time, top pharmaceutical giants such as Tosca and Noy The company has already been registered in the Netherlands, and land has been purchased near the administration to build the office address of the new company.
The international pharmaceutical industry is bound to usher in shock due to Brexit. London will gradually lose its title as the world's pharmaceutical capital, and Amsterdam will become the new center of the pharmaceutical industry.
When many people gave up London, the caring people sensed the business opportunities here. If so many companies move out of London, it also means that this is the best time for bargaining.
High-rise buildings can be built in a short time, but the industry atmosphere and the difficulty of gathering talents take time to settle.
However, different people have different interests in their eyes.
Su Tao and Joanna's focus is obviously different from Albert.
The business opportunity Albert aims at is that when a large number of pharmaceutical companies leave London, there will certainly be opportunities for low-price bargaining. For example, the headquarters building will be sold at a low price. If it is purchased in the near future, it will definitely have room for value-added in the future.
In the process of communication between Su Tao and Joanna, they focused on another entry point.Su Tao's interest in R&D talents in the pharmaceutical industry is obviously higher than that of high-rise buildings.
There are more than 200,000 practitioners in the pharmaceutical research industry in London. With the relocation of the European Medicines Quality Agency to Amsterdam, at least 70% of these personnel will face unemployment or reduced income. After all, most of these people are If you are a native of London, or have lived in London for a long time, if you let them leave the familiar environment they are used to and move to another city, they will definitely consider carefully whether to emigrate and live in another city.
The Tosca Group has been secretly digging walls for so many years, but the core talent hasn't been recruited. Now it is undoubtedly the best time.
Tosca Group only needs to hold on to its position, continue to lock London as its own R&D center, and dig a foothold against the core talents of its competitors, which can definitely take the lead in the competition for talent.
As for Su Tao's plan to set up an international research and development center in London to engage in the research of Chinese patent medicines and western medicines.
With the successful acquisition of the Ruixing Group by the Sanwei Group, the Sanwei Group has not only engaged in traditional Chinese medicine, but also dabbled in Western medicine.With Tosca’s investment in technology, Ruixing’s R&D center has greatly improved the level of scientific research, but there is a huge gap between the level of international top Western medicine research.
If you want to close the gap, you can't solve it without transferring technology from others or hiring talents with high salaries.While working hard on internal skills, we must also go out. Setting up R&D centers abroad is the appropriate way.
Take the Internet as an example. Why does Lenovo set up its R&D center in Silicon Valley, USA? Because Lenovo knows that the top computer technology R&D talents are gathered there. As long as Lenovo sets the R&D center there, it can not only know the latest technological direction at any time. And dynamic, and can recruit suitable candidates in the fastest time.
As for Huawei, it has overseas R&D centers in 16 cities around the world. Paris, France is the R&D center for Huawei’s technical standards research field, Berlin, Germany is the R&D center for Huawei’s technical standards research field, and Lund, Sweden is Huawei’s terminal field R&D center. Center, Milan, Italy is Huawei's R&D center in the field of optoelectronics and microwave transmission.
Therefore, if you want to further improve China's medical level, you must set up R&D centers around the world. London is the most suitable city. Especially with the impact of Brexit, the talent market in the field of life science R&D in London is bound to fluctuate greatly. , It is the most suitable time to cut in at this time.
The conversations between Su Tao and Joanna on the phone mainly focused on the large number of existing research talents in London. These talents are the most worthy targets for bargaining, and they are also the most scarce resources of Sanwei Group today.
Although Sanwei Pharmaceutical has performed well in the research and development of Chinese patent medicine, Su Tao feels that if he wants to comprehensively enhance the competitiveness of his products, he must continue to incorporate top talents.Although some recruits have never been in contact with Chinese medicine or Chinese patent medicine, they can borrow their ideas and logic in product development, so that Chinese patent medicine can be more in line with the development trend of modern life sciences.
As for the research on western medicine, Su Tao also feels that he should put some effort into it. Both western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine can learn from each other. Improving the competitiveness of Sanwei Group in the field of western medicine is also beneficial to expanding the influence of Chinese patent medicines.
The simple logic is that if a company can manufacture high-quality western medicines, the effects of proprietary Chinese medicines it develops will certainly not be bad.
Su Tao decided to jointly register a research and development company with Joanna. Tosca Group and Sanwei Group each invested 250 million pounds, each holding 50% of the shares. Both parties can enjoy the research and development results.
250 million pounds is not a small amount of money, whether it is a huge investment in Tosca Group or Sanwei Group, but from Joanna’s attitude, it should not be a big problem. After all, Su Tao is nominally a shareholder of Tosca Group. The number of cooperation between the two parties is increasing. At present, the investment of Tosca Group in China has been quickly reported, occupying half of China's high-end medical equipment and pharmaceutical products.
Through this cooperation, Joanna has secured her position on the Tosca Group’s board of directors, and her decision-making can generally be trusted by the board members. After all, she saved the group from the crisis of Qishanling Village virus and saved all directors. Interests.
"Now Noy Pharmaceuticals, Elber Pharmaceuticals, and Ferrer Pharmaceuticals are very surprised by the development of Tosca Pharmaceuticals, because we not only take China Huaxia as a key business market, but also invest a lot of money in the research of Chinese patent medicines. "Joanna shook her head and sighed, "I am under a lot of pressure on the board. Although all directors trust my decision, I know that many people are watching my jokes."
"Are you acting like a baby with me, begging for hugs, and begging for comfort?" Su Tao asked with a smile.
"Who acted like a baby with you? I just told you that I have put a lot of effort into you, and you must not let me down." Joanna's face turned red and her tone became serious and reminded.
"Don't the Tosca Group taste the sweetness?" Su Tao shook his head indifferently, "Your group's share price has been soaring. There is no profitable business in the world. If you want to continue to make money, you have to keep investing. You He has a good vision and knows how to invest in me. I am an excellent businessman."
Joanna couldn't help but laugh, "Is there anyone who puts gold on her face like this?"
Su Tao chuckled, and suddenly his tone became serious, "Since you have decided to invest in proprietary Chinese medicines, you must be desperate and not half-hearted. There are two things, I need your help. This has a problem for the rise of proprietary Chinese medicines. The decisive role of life and death."
Joanna also showed a solemn expression, and said solemnly: "Oh, let's listen."
"First, I am pushing the United Kingdom to abolish the ban on botanicals, and good progress has been made. Second, amending the EU Botanicals Regulations and lowering the entry barrier for proprietary Chinese medicines are also planned." Su Tao's voice is growing. The lower the tone, "As one of the four major pharmaceutical giants, Tosca Group must have participated in the ban on herbal medicines, right?"
"What do you mean, you want me to stand on the opposite side of the pharmaceutical groups that silently promote the ban?" Joanna smiled bitterly, which is really a very difficult request.
On the surface, the four major pharmaceutical giants, Noy Pharmaceuticals, Elber Pharmaceuticals, Ferrer Pharmaceuticals, and Tosca Pharmaceuticals, are in a competitive relationship, but they have a secret cooperative relationship. When it affects the core of the industry When there is interest, they will unite as one.
In the case of promoting the ban on herbal medicines, it is not surprising that the four giants smelled the threat of proprietary Chinese medicines.If Chinese patent medicines replace Western medicines as mainstream medicines, it means that the entire Western medicine industry will incur huge losses, so they unite and let the British government and the European Medicines Quality Agency pass relevant regulations.
"If you don't break, you won't stand." Su Tao continued to brainwash Joanna. "From the perspective of the development momentum in recent years, the growth rate of Chinese patent medicine far exceeds the rate of research and development of new western medicine products. If you want to maintain high growth, it is better to start from Start with Chinese patent medicine. You should know the situation of Sanwei Pharmaceutical. Not only does it have rigorous research and development technology, but the product quality far exceeds the products on the market. As long as Tosca continues to pay attention to and support the development of Chinese patent medicine, there is a chance to become a pharmaceutical industry The leading overlord of Ferry Pharmaceuticals and Noy Pharmaceuticals are all defeated men who directly trample them under their feet. And you, to become the queen of the pharmaceutical industry, everyone has to look up to the existence..."
Joanna was silent for a long time without speaking.
Seeing that there was no movement, Su Tao curiously asked, "Why don't you speak anymore? Are you completely immersed in the fantasy of a better future? Come back to me quickly."
Joanna took a breath and smiled helplessly: "I'm thinking about the consequences. I was targeted by the three collectives, but there is no good end."
"I'll give you an idea." Su Tao smiled slyly, "I suggest you contact the person in charge of Elber Pharmaceuticals to promote our plan. If they are interested, it is not three to one, but Two on two, do you still lose confidence like this?"
