1986, Economic System (Part 1)
"Trade Federation … Newt Gunley …" Hearing this name, Tang Yu's expression turned ugly. He naturally understood what it meant for these two names to appear at the same time!
The Trade Federation was one of the largest business-political entities in the world of Star Wars. Together with the Trade Guild, the Galactic Banking Alliance, and the Technological Alliance, they were the behind-the-scenes manipulators of the entire Milky Way. Among them, the Trade Federation monopolized the market in the processing industry, the Banking Alliance monopolized the financial industry, the Technological Alliance had extremely powerful research and manufacturing capabilities, and the Trade Federation monopolized the commerce and transportation of the entire Milky Way.
Although there were constant internal conflicts in the Milky Way Republic, in general, it was still a peaceful and prosperous world. In such an environment, one could imagine how powerful these organizations that had started with business were! Moreover, they were terrifying forces with tentacles all over the Milky Way!
Under the control of the Neimoidians, the Trade Federation had an extremely large space fleet to protect their own transport fleet. The Neimoidians were known for their shrewd business vision and ruthless competitive methods! It was definitely not a good thing to be targeted by such an organization.
Newt Gunley was the most cunning, cold-blooded, and ruthless among the Neimoidians! In the movie Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, it was about Newt Gunley leading the Trade Federation fleet to blockade Planet Naboo without permission, trying to force the Naboo people to sign an unfair trade agreement with them, which led to the War of Naboo. This war was also widely regarded as the beginning of the civil war of the entire Milky Way Republic.
Chen Gang stood up and said to Tang Yu, "Don't think about the worst. Newt Gunley is still a businessman. Merchants would never reveal their fangs and trump cards at the first moment. Therefore, this time, the Trade Federation's delegation should not do anything to us immediately. But their goal is also very clear, which is to integrate us into their business system and become a screw in the Trade Federation. "
Tang Yu pondered for a moment. He looked up and said, "Peacock, go find Senator Bell Organa immediately and tell him about Newt Gunley's visit. Then, see what he has to say. After that, I'll leave the negotiation with Organa to you. Lee Sung-ho will assist you. "
Immortal Fox nodded and said, "At this time, we should raise the level of negotiation and let the Queen Peacock meet Organa. We can also send him a message of importance and goodwill." As she said that, she looked at Peacock with a teasing look. It was clear that in such an occasion, Peacock's title as Queen was a little strange in the team.
However, Peacock didn't seem to mind at all. She nodded and said, "Alright, I understand. I will use the conditions proposed by the Milky Way Republic as a bargaining chip and try my best to fight for a senator seat. "
"Then, with Newt Gunray's position, I still have to meet him personally. Chen Gang, Shao Liwen, you two come with me to see him. Emma, you come too. Help me see what Newt Gunley is thinking, "said Tang Yu.
White Queen Emma stood up and smiled at Tang Yu.
…
In the most luxurious reception hall of the Imperial Palace in Yu City, Tang Yu sat on the central throne, with Emma Frost, Chen Gang, and Shao Liwen on his left and right. Among the diplomatic negotiators under him, Chen Gang was mature and experienced, while Shao Liwen was young and aggressive. The two different negotiating styles matched well with each other in order to gain a certain initiative in the upcoming negotiations.
Accompanied by the drumming of the guards of honor outside the door, two strange-looking people walked in, surrounded by more than ten attendants. The two people in front were wearing red cloaks and tall hats, and their hands were instinctively placed on their abdomens. It was Newt Gunley, the Viceroy of the Trade Federation, and his assistant, Rene Harko!
The skin of the Neimoidians was almost green, smooth and hairless, and their faces were wrinkled together. Their lips were turned outwards, and they had no nose. Their round eyes were red without pupils, and there was only a black line in the middle of their eyeballs. From a human's point of view, it was simply ugly, like a walking flatfish.
Seeing them come in, Tang Yu pretended to laugh and greeted them. He said loudly, "Welcome, Your Excellency, Governor of the Trade Federation." All these actions were taught by Chen Gang through Emma Frost's mental link. After all, this negotiation was of great importance, even related to the survival of the Guardian Empire, so he must not be careless.
Naturally, Tang Yu did not dare to be as reckless as before. Although the negotiation with the Emperor of Mecha in the world of the Matrix was no less dangerous than this, this was a very formal occasion, after all, and this was not what Tang Yu was good at.
"Hehehehe …" Ryan Harko, who was walking next to Newt Gunley, took a step forward. His skin was paler, and his eyes were bigger. He looked a little pitiful, and even a little ugly, but adorable. He bowed slightly to Tang Yu and introduced, "This is Sir Newt Gunley, Governor of the Trade Federation. I am Rene Harko, Your Excellency's adjutant."
Newt Gunley just puffed out his chest and looked around arrogantly at Tang Yu and the others. He pursed his lips and did not speak, only nodding slightly to Tang Yu.
Seeing him like this, Tang Yu did not pay attention to him. Shao Liwen snorted coldly, stepped forward, and said sternly, "Is this the attitude of the Trade Federation toward His Majesty the Emperor?"
"Hehehe, if you continue to call yourself His Majesty the Emperor, then you can only live for another month." Newt Gunley sneered. "You know nothing about the Galactic Republic, so you should be the ones who should be more respectful."
Chen Gang laughed and said, "Hahahaha, why are you making a fuss in the hall, Governor Gunley. Please come with me. We have prepared a banquet to welcome you, who have come from afar. "
He mocked the other party, but the effect of these words was greatly reduced after the translation robot relayed it. Newt Gunley did not care. Under Chen Gang's guidance, he came to a seat and sat down, but he still had an arrogant look on his face. A few maids came up with a small table and a variety of exquisite food, but they only tasted it.
Unlike the bustling Chinese cuisine that Tang Yu chose to entertain Obi-Wan and Anakin at the banquet, this time, the Trade Federation Governor-General Newt Gunray was seated at a table of Western cuisine. Of course, Newt Gunley didn't come for a meal this time.
Gunley ate a grape and said, "I wonder what His Excellency Ruler thinks about joining the Galactic Republic this time?"
Tang Yu smiled and said, "We are honored to be able to join such a powerful and democratic alliance like the Galactic Republic. This is also the most important turning point for us."
"Yes, the Galactic Empire is powerful and prosperous, but what does this have to do with you?" Newt Gunley asked slowly.
