When Lord Ecclesi was in a hurry to find someone, Chen Gang left the place on the excuse of drinking too much.
Things calmed down strangely after that, and even Lord Ecclesi didn't look for him again, but Chen Gang became active. He used his identity and some people he met in Corellia through Ecclesi during this period.
Networking begins.
Chen Gang's official status is the Minister of Transportation Management and the Honorary Advisor of the Geological Exploration Industry of the Galactic Republic, which is roughly equivalent to the deputy minister level. Before the war broke out, Palpatine and Count Dooku were already at the political level.
At that time, as a guardian planet that had secretly joined Count Dooku's camp, it naturally received care in this regard. Svetlana, who had been operating on Coruscant, had several official positions that she could use.
Moreover, these official positions were jointly released by Palpatine and Count Dooku. No matter who comes to investigate, there will be no flaws.
There are many such people in the Republic and the Confederation of Independent Systems. Just like the recent peace turmoil caused by Palpatine using Minna Bonteri, it was all caused by such people. And Palpatine and Dooku
The count also uses these people to control each other's political trends and monitor and plan at any time.
What Chen Gang did was actually very simple. There were three main reasons why he approached Lord Ecclesi. First, this man had always wanted to go further in politics, so he hoped to get to know and get closer to more officials from Coruscant.
Second, although his family is not very eye-catching compared to those giants, it is also an old family in Corellia, with intricate relationships in all aspects. And the last and most important point is that he is on the Bespin planet at the edge of the galaxy.
Has a huge mineral mining industry, in other words, his business spans the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Galactic Republic.
The first two points mean that it will be very convenient for Chen Gang to approach him, and he can also use him to get closer to the real giants in the Corellian sector. The third point means that Lord Ecclesi is the kind of person who just wants to do
Business, interest groups who do not want to fight, and this group is exactly what Chen Gang hopes to win over.
News of the Confederacy's successive military victories and the subsequent peace wave had also reached here, and Svetlana and Bolivar Trask, two conspirators under Tang Yu, also proposed actions.
The plan was also informed to Chen Gang. However, although Chen Gang was in Corellia, a political entity that played an important role in the Republic, he did not preach the benefits of war everywhere, seek to cancel the peace talks, and bankrupt the Republic's delaying war strategy. This is useless.
, which goes against the general trend.
But Chen Gang knows better that following the trend can sometimes have the opposite effect! Real politicians will never go against the trend. They will find their own opportunities in the direction of the general trend, and even guide this general trend!
The current political trend, the current general trend, is peace, but when peace reaches its extreme, what will it be?
A decent smile appeared on the corner of Chen Gang's mouth, he put a document on the table, gently slid it to the middle-aged man with a big beard opposite and said: "I have some black market orders in my hand, but these orders are still
It's not released on the black market, and the order quantity is large, but I can't eat these things. If you don't mind, I will transfer this order to you, and then I will just share a small portion of the profit. What do you think? Mosiya
count."
The middle-aged man flipped through the document, and his expression changed a little. He calmly put down the document, leaned back on the back of the sofa, and said slowly: "5 million tons of concentrated nutrient solution...Planet Jabim...you are kidding me."
What? Your Excellency Chen Gang. This is an order from separatism."
Chen Gang smiled and said: "But it is also an order worth 1 billion credit points. The Republic will not offer this price. For the same goods, the Republic will give you a maximum of 500 million credit points, right?"
"Your idea is very dangerous, Mr. Chen Gang."
"Hehehehe, I am an explorer, collector and archaeologist. I can explore and travel everywhere in the galaxy without any source of funds. Moreover, these are civilian supplies."
Earl Mosia thought for a while, but still shook his head and said: "No, it is impossible for freight of this size to pass through the border."
"But now is an opportunity. The two sides are currently in peace negotiations. I can take this opportunity to arrange a meeting with your representatives. The consignee will provide an absolutely safe channel and pay a deposit in advance. As long as the transaction is completed during the peace talks, there will be no
Any questions?" Chen Gang said with a smile.
Then he took out a few more documents, "If you think it's dangerous, then I have a few orders from the Republic. They don't go into the official accounts, so no tax is required, but the price..."
Earl Mosia took a look at the orders from the republics, smiled contemptuously at the numbers on them, threw them into the trash can, then stared at Chen Gang and asked: "Then how do you prove that you are not a separatist spy?"
Woolen cloth?"
Chen Gang tapped on the order and said: "I don't need to prove this, because money is the most important. Whether it is separatist money or republican money. Do you want products from the separatist side?"
For example, I can get the most advanced combat robots on the Guardian Planet, but the key is...money."
Count Mosia picked up the order from Planet Jabim and read it again. The long list of zeros behind the transaction amount made his eyes a little hot. He took a deep breath and said: "According to the information I got, both parties
The representatives have started the first round of negotiations, but they almost got into a fight at the venue. In my opinion, this peace negotiation is a farce and nonsense. There will be no results in a few months, and I think
There is no outcome, and the war will continue."
"In that case, we must seize this rare period of peace to make money." Chen Gang said.
"A lot of things can be done in a few months. Are there any orders like this?" Earl Mosia asked.
"Of course, I travel around the galaxy, and naturally I have many connections. Everywhere I go, in addition to exploring and archeology, I make money. However, I'm worried that you won't be able to take these orders," Chen Gang said.
Earl Mosia glanced at him, smiled confidently and said: "When Lord Ecclesi introduced you to me, didn't he mention my strength? I really can't eat too much by myself, but my connections
Once it's spread out, I'm afraid you won't have enough orders. Let's put it this way, in the Corellian galaxy, except for the three giants who never show up, no one has more extensive connections than me."
When Chen Gang heard this, the smile on his face became brighter. He picked up the wine glass on the coffee table, raised it and said, "Then, I wish us a happy cooperation."
Count Mosia also raised his wine glass and touched it gently with him, "To my precious peace, hehehehe."
After finishing this pleasant conversation, Chen just returned to his residence, took a short rest and went straight to a private park behind the hotel, where there were other people he needed to see and talk to.
