The objections were simple: the Phantom Immortal Biotechnology Company was responsible for Cancer Cure No. 1, as well as the even more influential products and technologies that would be developed later.
Such an important role naturally had to go to one of their own. Putting a foreigner in charge just did not seem right.
But Shen Bing ultimately overrode all objections, and with Wang Sheng's support, the appointment went through smoothly... Well, that was actually redundant. If Shen Bing wanted to appoint someone, all it took was a word from him.
He had made this appointment because his requirements for the biotechnology company's general manager were extremely high, and the most important of them was loyalty.
Most of the current applicants had come for Phantom Immortal Technology's reputation, and there was no shortage of outstanding talent among them. But in terms of loyalty, they probably could not compare with people like Wei Changjia and Zhang Zi'an, who had grown alongside the company.
The foreigner Shen Bing appointed was capable, too. He had previously owned a biopharmaceutical company in the United States and served as its technical leader. Some problems had later arisen, however, and the company had gone bankrupt. He had then returned to technical work, becoming a researcher at a Genetic Biology Research Base.
Later, Shen Bing's men had swept up everyone at that research base, and he had become one of Shen Bing's utterly loyal subordinates.
This foreigner's name was Edmund. He was a white man under forty, the sort anyone would recognize as shrewd and capable at first glance.
The day after the biotechnology company's structure was fully established, Phantom Immortal Technology welcomed its second group of visitors: the Russian negotiators Shen Bing had mentioned last time.
Their objective was the same as India's: Cancer Cure No.
