106. Entering the Game (Part 1)
Gross has adjusted his mentality and replied with a smile: "It doesn't matter, this is a common thing."< br>
She picked up the document dropped by the Muun people from the ground, took a brief look at the contents, shook it and said, "Okay, in fact, it's not an exaggeration to say that you killed all three of them just now. . Manager."
After saying that, she raised her hand and threw the document onto the body of the Munn man.
"Speaking of which, I haven't asked his name yet." Tang Xiao waved for people from the logistics department to come over and clean up the scene.
"I don't think he deserves you to know his name." Gross replied.
Tang Xiao suddenly felt a little strange, because his sense of the force told him that this youngest master-level business negotiator did not seem to have much fear. On the contrary, she seemed to quite like it.
That’s right, I’m talking about killing the Muun just now.
"You...are not afraid? I just killed a person in front of you." Tang Xiao asked with interest.
"They are just a few rude aliens. Just kill them. I was just thinking, in fact, you don't have to do these things yourself." Gross stroked his golden waves and said with a smile. .
“But the forces behind these aliens can completely crush our fourth civilization. Doesn’t it matter?”
“This is only temporary, manager.”
Tang Xiao stared at her big lake-blue eyes, waved his hands after a few seconds and said: "In that case, you can go down first. By the way, you will be in the administrative department for the next few days. Let’s study with Clement.”
“Okay, I’ll take my leave, manager.” Gross-Shelbia bowed to Tang Xiao generously, then turned and left.
Tang Xiao looked at the Muun corpses on the ground, waved his hands and said to the people in the logistics department: "Throw this smelly thing into the shit collector."
...
Galaxy Core Area , the capital of the Galactic Republic, Coruscant.
On this planet, which is about the same size as the Earth and about 12,240 kilometers in diameter, there are representatives of various planets in the Milky Way, as well as personnel from various prominent organizations, large and small, as well as various existences from three religions and nine streams.
A full trillion people live on this planet.
The overexploited planet has almost its entire surface urbanized, and even its mountains and oceans have been completely destroyed and exploited, but that's not enough. Coruscant has a multi-layered structure, with a total of 5127 floors. It can be said that almost the entire crust of the planet has been transformed into a city.
Among the 5127 floors, the lower you go, the darker and more chaotic it becomes. In contrast, those well-dressed so-called masters are qualified to live on the surface of the planet. These are also the most powerful people in the entire galaxy.
A modified Priest-class shuttle entered Coruscant's atmosphere and headed directly toward the underworld. Finally, we parked at a spaceport on the 100th floor.
The hatch of the spaceship opened, and Francis Underwood walked down, looking at the surrounding buildings with almost no gaps, and only a small patch of sky above his head.
Then a tall, dignified middle-aged woman came over and stood behind Underwood, and took Underwood's arm very naturally. She is Underwood's wife and most tacit partner, Claire Underwood.
"We should live under the bright sky, not in this crowded and dirty sewer." Francis said, looking at the sky.
"What the young manager promised us seems a bit far away." Claire smiled faintly. "It won't last long." Francis patted the back of Claire's arm meaningfully.
Another thin and capable middle-aged man also stepped off the spacecraft and stood behind the Underwoods without saying a word. He is Doug Stamp, Francis' chief of staff and his most effective assistant.
Three T-850s wearing suits and sunglasses came down from the back, carrying several large suitcases.
Soon, Rosanna Goodes, the commercial representative of the Fourth Group stationed in Coruscant, came over with several assistants. She saluted Francis very politely and said: "Hello Francis Sir, I am Rosanna Goodes, the business representative of the administrator in Coruscant."
"Ms. Goodes, you can just call me Frank," Francis said to her. He shook hands, and then said straightforwardly: "Let's talk about the current situation first, what we have, and then what needs to be done."
"We are in the process of processing the colonization license and the company registration of the Fourth Group. Currently We have a residence and a small office on the 100th floor. In terms of funds, Galaxy credits are about 200,000. A trust fund will gradually transfer funds to us, and there should be another 1 to 2 million credits in the future." Shana replied.
"This basically makes us start from scratch." Claire said with a frown.
“At least it’s better than when I came out of the military academy and ran for Congress with nothing.” Francis smiled, “I would rather say that I like this environment better.”
"But..." Claire still felt a little uncomfortable.
“We don’t have many chess pieces to use, not only on Coruscant, but also in the Fourth Group. The industrial capabilities of the colonies are changing every day, and if we can’t keep up with this speed, we will be more If there are too many things, I believe that the promise he gave is just empty words." Francis smiled meaningfully and pointed out the key to the problem.
It is not only the promise Tang Xiao gave them, but more importantly, it is also the value they can bring to Tang Xiao.
Claire nodded and sighed softly.
Francis turned to Rosanna and said: "For now, we need a place to stay. Maybe we won't be able to do much in terms of permits for a while."
"It's okay, Mr. Frank. The manager asked me to fully assist you in your work. If you need anything, just ask." After Rosanna finished speaking, she and her assistant took Francis to an apartment area and entered an apartment. In a fairly spacious residence.
T-850 opened the suitcase and took out the clothes and hung them up. Most of them were Claire's evening gowns.
And Francis has opened his personal terminal, put on his glasses and looked at the files inside, "OK, let's start working, Claire. The plan you proposed before can now start working initially."
"Where is the candidate?" Claire asked.
“Rosana gave a message that the food production on Rodia planet is currently decreasing, and they are looking for more food import channels.”
"But the Trade Alliance took the opportunity to increase transportation costs by 2%..." Doug also took out the document and said.
"Eldin, the representative of the Rodia Planet Import and Export Trading Company on Coruscant." Francis said a name, "He lives... on the 20th floor of Coruscant, planet administrator. Residential area."
"In the name of the Fourth Group..."
Francis smiled, "Of course it is a new association, the Galaxy Outer Ring Planet Mutual Aid Fund. . Don’t forget, you are the advocate of this foundation.”
