After the meeting had ended.

Gu Feng then saw a group of staff members arranged by the Elders Council coming over.

They were there to back up internal documents and finalize his benefits in advance.

"Head Gu, in terms of security personnel, do you have any candidates in mind? And for the secretary as well," the recorder asked.

Gu Feng shook his head, "Not yet, I’ll select a security officer and a secretary from my own department later and back them up with the Elders Council."

The recorder nodded, then arranged for someone to take Gu Feng’s measurements because they needed to prepare a new suit for the awarding ceremony.

Besides that, they also needed to hand over the customized departmental seal to Gu Feng.

Because going forward, no documents issued without the departmental seal could be handed over to other departments.

"Regarding your official car, you can customize the interior of a Dragon Flag sedan to your liking. This benefit is exclusive to Hall Masters, including your family members who will also get a personalized license plate. A representative from Dragon Flag Automobile Company will come to help you select and customize," the recorder continued.

Gu Feng nodded; he was aware of this.

His father had an exclusive car, and as a family member, his mother had one too.

For Gu Feng here, he would probably have one or two exclusive cars and license plates, and his wife Lin Yue, as a family member, would also have a car but of a relatively lower scale and grade.

Apart from him having a Hall Master level car, his three direct subordinates including Li Yan would also have departmental cars and secretaries.

"There’s no need to make it too complicated with the customization; just max out the standard features. I don’t have any special customization requests. Also, for my wife’s car, please set her license plate number to her birthday," Gu Feng stated.

Once the car was ready, he would give it to Lin Yue as a gift.

The recorder nodded and immediately noted it down in her book.

Li Yan and his two companions left the meeting room in high spirits and saw Hall Master Song coming over. They saluted and greeted him before heading off to their duties.

Hall Master Song, accompanied by his secretary and the head of the Drug Administration, entered Gu Feng’s office and waited on the side.

Currently, Gu Feng was using a temporary meeting room at the corner of the Beijing administrative office building.

Later, the office might be moved to a separate secure unit within the military area.

After Gu Feng had finished his tasks, he broke into a grin and approached, "Feng, why delay the inevitable? Let’s discuss our collaboration now," he suggested.

To prevent other departments from encroaching upon their plans, Hall Master Song had called his subordinates in charge of the drugs today.

The Drug Administration head greeted Gu Feng with a bow and a smile before respectfully standing aside.

Gu Feng got straight to the point, "Mr. Song, I’ll just be direct. The condition on my end is that going forward, all the Alchemical Medicinal Materials needed for our department’s purchases will be supplied by your department free of charge."

Hall Master Song had already reviewed the list of Medicinal Materials Gu Feng had sent him. Although they were high-grade and expensive materials on the market, they were negligible compared to the global cancer treatment profits.

As for any issues arising from the Drug Administration handling these Medicinal Materials?

There was no need to worry.

Because after these Medicinal Materials were delivered to Gu Feng’s research department, they still had to overcome numerous challenges in drug purification effectiveness technology.

Simply put, supplying anti-cancer agents to the USA and expecting them to figure out how to boost gene-enhancing elixirs was unrealistic.

It’s like developing a certain electronic product; you’d need to overcome myriad technical challenges with electronic components, like a material resistant to high temperatures, which would demand years of research.

Substituting other defective products wouldn’t work—medications couldn’t be adulterated. Any change in materials amounts to suicide!

Moreover, the final step of Alchemy was in Gu Feng’s hands.

Once all the single-research Medicinal Materials were delivered to his supervision department, only then could he complete the Elixir configuration process.

And speaking of which, if the Drug Department truly lacked the Cancer Technology, that was their department’s fault, a blame Hall Master Song himself couldn’t bear, so he wouldn’t let the formula slip out.

That was one less worry for Gu Feng. With risks came opportunities—since they had accepted the technology from his department, they had to bear the secrecy risks!

"No problem," he agreed quickly, "Then, how shall we split the sales revenue?"

Gu Feng pondered for a moment, "We’ll take 70 percent."

"That," Hall Master Song looked troubled, "Feng, you must understand that all the costs from setting up the new research platform to sales channels are borne by us. Only giving us 30 percent, doesn’t that seem a bit low?"

Playing on emotions, Hall Master Song stood up as if coaxing a younger family member, "Feng, add another 10 percent! I don’t ask for much, just that little extra. Whenever your department needs anything, just come to me. I’ll absolutely help out."

"Moreover, any employee from your department, even retired ones, will receive free medical treatment at any top-tier hospital nationwide," he offered.

After all, it was their technology, and they were only responsible for sales routes.

If it weren’t for the clear division of labor, Gu Feng’s own department could have made money using this technology.

But since everyone was part of the same group, each department had its specific duties; you couldn’t overstep boundaries.

Just like other departments wouldn’t interfere with your overseas strategies.

If you overstepped, other departments wouldn’t manage your authority to reward or punish!

"You said it, add it to the contract. My department, from soldiers on the frontline to regular clerical staff, all get this benefit?" Gu Feng questioned.

"Yes!" Hall Master Song slapped the table for emphasis, "I’ll add it to the contract and personally stamp it with the Hall Master’s seal!"

Gu Feng smiled, "Okay."
