Swiss Federation, referred to as " Switzerland " (English: Switzerland), is one of the Central European countries and is divided into 26 states in the country. Switzerland is adjacent to Germany in the north, France in the west, Italy in the south, and Austria in the east and Liechtenstein. The entire area is dominated by plateaus and mountains, and is known as the "Roof of Europe". Berne is the location of the federal government. The land area is 41,284 square kilometers and the population is 8.5089 million. However, such a small country can rank 19th in the world in terms of economic output, with a per capita GDP of up to 82,800 US dollars, second only to Luxembourg, which can be said to be quite powerful.
How powerful is Switzerland? Let's put it this way, Israel's population is 9 million, which is recognized as the small bully of Middle East , but its per capita GDP is only half of that of Switzerland. If it is Switzerland in the Middle East, Syria and Iran may not have a way out.

Switzerland's ability to achieve today is related to Switzerland's open and inclusive policy and geographical location.
1815, Vienna Conference officially confirmed Switzerland's identity as a permanent neutral country. Switzerland will no longer be involved in any war in Europe. Even in the two world wars, the war burned across Europe, and Switzerland is still peaceful and quiet as ever. In previous wars, Switzerland was undoubtedly a paradise, and talents from all over the country fled to Switzerland for refuge, including during World War II, many Jews went to Switzerland to escape the pursuit of Nazi Germany.
Switzerland is a neutral country, but its military strength is not weak. In order to protect itself, the whole Swiss people are holding guns. Even the old lady goes shopping for groceries, and the vegetable basket may have a pistol in it. Switzerland once hollowed out the mountains in China and established a large number of military facilities in the mountains, ready to resist invasion at any time.
Switzerland is located in the center of Europe. With its inclusive and open policy, it has attracted talents from European countries. Moreover, the Swiss attach importance to science and technology, take their work seriously, and can even be said to be meticulous. Therefore, they can make breakthroughs in precision instruments and gain universal recognition from all countries. Moreover, Switzerland does not play the virtual economy, mainly engaged in industry, and occupies an important place in the fields of medicine, machinery, etc.
Do you think Switzerland is a mechanical nerd? They do business and run the financial industry like Jews.
Swiss In everyone's mind, there is a consumer perception:
The average life expectancy of Swiss companies is over 120 years old. The reason why Swiss companies live so long is mainly because of the Swiss craftsman spirit . They choose to work hard in their fields of expertise, maintain a high moral standard and professional ethics, and do not seek immediate short-term interests, and do their best products and services, so as to maintain a leading position. For watches with complex design and manufacturing processes, Switzerland can be the world's leading position and cultivate many well-known brands. For example, Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin , Rolex , Omega, Longines, Tissot, etc. For example, the famous Swiss Army Knife has a basic process of 200, and some are more refined, and can even reach 500 processes. Therefore, the service life of the Swiss Army Knife can exceed 50 years. It can be seen that the spirit of Swiss craftsmanship is reflected in many Swiss companies and products. Who doesn’t yearn for a Swiss watch? People all over the world seem to think so, except for the Germans, because Germans are also powerful in precision machinery manufacturing.Switzerland's precision machinery manufacturing is much more than that, and watches are not the largest output value industry in precision manufacturing.
Swiss watches everyone yearns for. And Swiss banking industry is another weird thing. You said that this country with uneven roads and bends of mountains and roads is also amazing that the banking industry is highly developed. UBS, a financial group that controls trillions of dollars, also plays an important role in Wall Street. The private account of Swiss bank is the yearning for rich people all over the world. But others' requirements are not low. Many famous banks require more than 1 million euros to open an account, which means they don't have much money. Never do not need to do any Swiss bank accounts. On the other hand, if a person can give you a Swiss bank account, it is a kind of credit. France has made perfume into famous brands and bags into luxury goods. Switzerland has turned its bank accounts into luxury goods.
Switzerland is not just an ancient country, but also a modern country. If we talk about the mechanical processing industry, you can still believe that joke: We in Switzerland are long winters, and people have to stay in the house. We like to fiddle with machinery when we are idle. And Russians can drink wine in winter. This is a kind of collective consciousness and collective spirit of people. Just like the Jews. There is a small town in Switzerland, Sanger, now seems to be the pioneer of the Internet and value Internet, so Switzerland is not the kind of mechanical nerd. The Swiss have that consciousness and move forward. When the world is still unable to grasp Bitcoin, Switzerland announced early that it can be used as a legal payment. Swiss Bank Anchon Private Bank is also the first bank in the world to provide services including Bitcoin, including custody. You can't help but admit their attitude towards tomorrow.
Switzerland is not as simple as the spirit of craftsmanship. The Swiss are not a group of simple people. They have made achievements in food, medicine, business, infrastructure, finance, banking, machinery, etc., not just as simple as machinery and precision machinery.
The development of enterprises is inseparable from talents. Most of the employees of Swiss enterprises have received good education and vocational skills training. For corporate development, high-quality employees are the most valuable resources of the enterprise. In order to maintain the demand for talents for corporate development, Switzerland is open to talent immigrants, so there are many immigrants in Switzerland, which is also an important means for Switzerland to maintain its competitiveness. Moreover, Swiss companies pay more attention to creating good relationships between enterprises and employees, and there are fewer labor-management conflicts in enterprises, which is conducive to the company's concentration on operations and development. According to data, the number of employed people in Switzerland in 2018 was 5.08 million, accounting for 60% of the national population, which is quite terrible.
Switzerland implements a free economic policy and the government minimizes intervention. Promote free trade to the outside world and oppose trade protectionism. Swiss corporate culture is relatively diversified. If a company wants to become bigger and stronger, it cannot be limited to Switzerland, and it must go to Europe and the world. Therefore, Swiss companies conduct global mergers and acquisitions in the fields they are good at. Since Swiss companies have a diversified cultural atmosphere and can better integrate themselves and incorporate them into the development of the company, the success rate of mergers and acquisitions is relatively high, which is the diversified survival skills. The 14 companies on Switzerland are all global multinational companies with business spanning many countries around the world. Moreover, Switzerland is a multilingual country. English, French and German can find their own market here, which can be said to be an ideal place for multinational companies.
