江湖之大11月7日 Pharma Strategy -- Novartis makes major R&D and vaccines investments in China [转]Novartis has unveiled investments in China that are intended to help it capitalize on a population with increasing access to health care. The Swiss firm will sink $1 billion over the next five years into bolstering its R&D activities in China and will buy a majority stake in a Chinese vaccines company. Much of the R&D investment will go to the Novartis Institute for BioMedical Research in Shanghai (CNIBR). Focused on basic research into diseases that impact China, the institute will eventually house R&D in analytics and biomarkers, pharmacology, chemistry, proteomics and genomics, imaging, and protein production. The company expects to increase the number of associate-level scientists to roughly 1,000 from 160 today. To accommodate the added labs and manpower, CNIBR will move from Shanghai's Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park to a new campus in the city. Separately, Novartis signed a deal under which it will pay $125 million for an 85% stake in Zhenjiang Tianyuan Bio-Pharmaceutical, a privately owned vaccines company with sales of roughly $25 million last year. Although a major vaccines player worldwide, Novartis currently has a limited presence in China. China has become an attractive market for drug companies experiencing stagnant sales in the U.S. and Europe. According to market research firm IMS Health, China will be the third-largest pharmaceutical market by 2011, up from number six today. Roche, AstraZeneca, and GlaxoSmithKline have all established a significant R&D presence in China. Novartis launched its push in 2006, when it began planning CNIBR and broke ground on a technical center in Changshu. The company has since invested $250 million in the Changshu site.
9月26日 《国富论》片段 人们天赋才能的差异，实际上并不象我们所感觉的那么大。人们壮年时在不同职业上表现出来的极不相同的才能，在多数场合，与其说是分工的原因，倒不如说是分工的结果。例如，两个性格极不相同的人，一个是哲学家，一个是街上的挑夫。他们间的差异，看来是起因于习惯、风俗与教育，而不是起因于天性。他们生下来，在七八岁以前，彼此的天性极相类似，他们的双亲和朋友，恐怕也不能在他们两者间看出任何显著的差别。大约在这个年龄，或者此后不久，他们就从事于极不相同的职业，于是他们才能的差异，渐渐可以看得出来，往后逐渐增大，结果，哲学家为虚荣心所驱使，简直不肯承认他们之间有一点类似的地方。 8月6日 印度超哥和蛛妹【转】国内购买赴美机票经验 很多人问机票，就顺便讲一下自己的经验。 国内买赴美机票机会很少故研究不多。这次终于需要，发现iflychina很好用。（绝对不是广告，  ）其中强烈推荐iflychina提供的一项“一封电子邮件询问多个代理报价”的服务。我试过，12小时内收到接近10个代理的回复，24小时内收到接近20个代理的回复。这些代理中，很多是iflychina上rating极高的代理。 我还留了手机，但是只有一个代理骚扰，其它的都是留下他们的电话。 之所以推荐这个服务，是因为我发现和美国这边的代理报价八九不离十不同，国内代理的报价大有自由发挥的感觉。我咨询的是北京或上海至Tampa的机票，结果代理报价从￥3500到￥6000都有&*%!(@&#%U$后来发现是因为每家代理的航空公司不同所致。 二是感觉国内代理行业还不规范，如我电话问询的Delta代理报价也从￥3500到￥3700不等。感觉是代理拿到他们的价格后自己加一个差价作为的利润，而这个差价完全看代理自己。更搞笑的是有一家我上午问时报￥3500，下午我再去问时却说：“我给你报过价么？是多少？”我答：“你上午说的三千五。”接着他居然说：“那三千五就三千五吧”。我再&*%!(@&#%U$最终我还是在这家买的，因为便宜，而且网上的review也非常高。 问题是review这么高的都这样。 |
