"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!..."

The sound of short breathing filled my ears.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

The dull banging sound gradually became chaotic, and even the originally rhythmic breathing began to become chaotic.

A slightly thin figure kept pumping his fist in front of the huge sandbag!

"Tian, ​​your time has come!"

Just as Tian Lu gradually felt his arms becoming numb and heavy, a thick voice rescued him in time. Looking up, John, the owner of the boxing gym, was standing next to him with a smile on his face.

In front of him, he shrugged and spread his hands helplessly.

As a boxing coach who is 1.9 meters tall, weighs more than 100 kilograms, and has a lumpy body, John's movements are really not coordinated with him, and it is so awkward that it is funny.

However, Tian Lu didn't dare to laugh at the muscular man to his face. He looked up at the clock on the wall and sure enough, an hour had passed.

"Sorry, I was a little too focused."

Tian Lu nodded apologetically, quickly packed up his equipment and returned to the locker room.

More than a year ago, Tian Lu came into contact with the sport of boxing by chance. Out of curiosity, he came back to find this boxing training gym and experienced a boxing training class.

Within an hour, he actually became interested in this seemingly violent sport!

There are two classes a week, each class is one hour, and Tian Lu miraculously persists. Of course, so far, Tian Lu has been practicing alone, and has never sparred with others. In this boxing gym

, he can’t find a boxer with a similar physique for the time being: even the thinnest boxer is several times stronger than him!

After taking off his soaked clothes, Tian Lu stood under the nozzle and started rinsing. The energy that had been exhausted in the past hour seemed to slowly return to his body.

After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Tian Lu pushed his bicycle out of the boxing gym.

Today is the weekend, and I made an appointment to go out for dinner with Ye Lan. Seeing that it was almost time, Tian Lu took out his mobile phone from his pants.

"Huh?!"

A series of missed calls on the phone all showed the same name: Professor Bruce.

Tian Lu couldn't help but frown: "Did something happen to the institute?"

While thinking about it, Tian Lu quickly called back.

"Hey, this is Bruce, Tian, ​​I finally contacted you!"

Although his tone was urgent, it was obvious that the voice on the other end of the phone was cheerful and full of vitality, which instantly put Tian Lu's heart at ease.

"Professor, today is the weekend!"

Loudly emphasizing the specialness of today's day, Tian Lu asked with a smile: "What do you want from me? You know, I'm getting ready to have dinner!"

There was a slight pause. Professor Bruce on the other side of the phone seemed to be considering his words. After a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Tian, ​​I have an old friend who really wants to meet you. If it is convenient, he would like to invite you to join us.

Have dinner.”

"Of course, you can come with Ye!"

Just after he finished speaking, as if he remembered something, Professor Bruce immediately added. Because he admired Tian Lu's work very much, Professor Bruce had invited Tian Lu to have dinner with him several times, so he naturally knew about Ye Lan.

"this......"

Tian Lu only hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay, but I need to go home and change clothes. Tell me the address of the restaurant and I will go find you later."

Professor Bruce happily gave him an address. When Tian Lu heard this, he immediately knew that today's invitation was definitely not ordinary: it was one of the most exclusive restaurants around here!

Secretly thinking about the identity of Professor Bruce's friend, Tian Lu called Ye Lan, got on his car and rushed home...

..................................................

The melodious sound of the violin, like a green and purple-eared hummingbird, dances slowly and lightly in people's ears, and the waiters in white also shuttle between the tables with great dexterity, bringing people one after another.

Exquisite deliciousness.

Yes, exquisite!

In Tian Lu's opinion, regardless of whether the food in this restaurant is delicious or not, the word "exquisite" is definitely well-deserved!

Just like the pile of young bamboo shoots in front of him, they were gone before he could taste anything. However, Tian Lu still had to pretend to be very satisfied. This contradictory feeling inside and outside made him feel extremely awkward!

Involuntarily glancing at Ye Lan beside him, Tian Lu slightly curved the corners of his mouth.

Unlike Tian Lu, who is not used to the etiquette, dishes, and even everything of Western food, Ye Lan seems to be born for this kind of occasion. Her lavender evening dress, her long black hair simply tied up, and her unique delicate skin make her look charming.

Thousands of kinds, radiant. Her speech and behavior are not only in line with Western etiquette and habits, but also have Eastern demureness and elegance. Her charming charm is indeed a scene in the restaurant.

"Mr. Losis, what are the main products of your company?"

Although he knew that others might not be malicious, the way Mr. Losis looked at Ye Lan still made Tian Lu feel very uncomfortable. After enduring for a moment, he put down the wine glass in his hand and asked with a little dissatisfaction.

Hearing Tian Lu's question, Mr. Losis naturally withdrew his gaze and replied with a smile: "Sorry, I was a little distracted just now. That's right, our company has many products and covers a wide range of products.

, especially anti-tumor drugs, as well as cardiovascular, central nervous system, metabolic diseases and vaccines, etc."

"Well, there are quite a lot of majors involved..."

The corners of Tian Lu's mouth moved and he said with a faint smile.

Seeing Tian Lu's serious look, Professor Bruce couldn't help but feel puzzled. He didn't believe that as a neurosurgery resident, Tian Lu would have never heard of the name of Nofi, at least their company's central nervous system drugs.

You should always know something about anti-tumor drugs, right?

However, Mr. Losis had a very good temper, and he could still explain with a serious face: "In fact, our company's sales last year ranked third in the world, and it can be predicted that

, this ranking will most likely continue to rise in the next few years!”

When talking about his company's performance, Professor Losis' eyebrows are full of pride!

While Professor Bruce nodded in approval, Ye Lan also showed his surprise at the right time, covering his mouth in an exaggerated manner, which made Mr. Losis feel happy for a moment!

However, Mr. Losis’s focus was, of course, still on Tian Lu. Seeing him looking like he was thinking about everything, he went on to introduce: “Our company has always attached great importance to basic research and new drug development in related fields. Last year, we invested in research

The funding for this area is as high as 6.6 billion US dollars! It can be said that this number is among the best in the entire world!"

Hearing the number 6.6 billion, not only Ye Lan was horrified, but even Tian Lu, who had always been very calm, couldn't help but twitch his face!

Although he already had some understanding of this situation, when Tian Lu actually got this astonishing number from Mr. Losis, he was still a little distracted at that moment.

European and American pharmaceutical companies basically invest huge amounts of money in new drug development and basic research every year. The R&D investment of many companies accounts for between 15% and 20% of annual sales revenue! In comparison, domestic

The proportion of scientific research investment is pitifully small, often only about 2.3%!

How much research investment do all Chinese pharmaceutical companies invest in a year?

Two billion dollars?

Of course, in many cases, the intensity of investment cannot be simply compared with the absolute number of funds. For example, the income of a full-time doctorate in an American pharmaceutical company is 300,000 US dollars, while in China, it is only one-tenth. Another example is experiments.

Animals are several times more expensive abroad. As for clinical trials, which are more expensive, they are ten or twenty times more expensive abroad!

Therefore, driven by this situation, many so-called "pharmaceutical consulting companies" have emerged in China, outsourcing clinical trial projects of foreign pharmaceutical giants, significantly reducing research and development costs.

No matter what, the annual investment of Novofi is enough to make domestic pharmaceutical companies look up to it for many years.

High investment will inevitably bring high output!

The annual sales of a drug from these pharmaceutical giants can even be as high as seven to eight billion U.S. dollars. However, there are very few domestic pharmaceutical companies that sell more than 100 million U.S. dollars in drugs every year. As a generic drug

In big countries, only after the patent protection period of the new drugs of the multinational giants has expired can domestic companies pounce on them and get some of the leftovers...

Seeing Tian Lu's shocked expression, Mr. Losis was extremely satisfied.

As the senior executive of Nofi, he is full of confidence in the strength of the company, and thus has full confidence in the task of recruiting the young genius in front of him!

What is the most important thing for a real researcher?

Either it's money, or it's a superior research environment.

Money is definitely not an issue!

For talented researchers, Novifei has always been willing to pay high salaries. As long as they can get enough rewards, they can even pay the dead to crawl out of their graves!

As for the research environment, do you think the billions of dollars invested every year are used?

"Mr. Tian, ​​I just saw your last article published in Nature. I am honored that both of our company's drugs are on the list of substances that you have experimentally confirmed can pass the blood-brain barrier!"

Mr. Losis' face straightened, and he solemnly sent an invitation to Tian Lu: "We very much hope that you can join Novi, lead our newly formed research team, and promote the clinical practicalization of this method as soon as possible...

"
