Chapter 319: San Hill's Gathering
32BBY, March.
The term of the current Co-Chairman of the Interstellar Banking Clan has expired, because he had previously announced that he would no longer participate in the re-election, so he abdicated directly.
The election of a new Co-Chairman followed, and the eldest son of the Hill family, San Hill, participated in the election.
And because Hego Damask II, who once served as the Co-Chairman of the Interstellar Banking Clan, and even now has a very high influence, strongly supports San Hill, and several other families also support him to let San Hill's dominance be virtually unassailable.
The result of the election is also without any suspense, and San Hill officially serves as the new Co-Chairman of the Interstellar Banking Clan. To celebrate the exciting result, San Hill invited some of his closest ties to his own private dinner.
This dinner was extremely luxurious, even reaching the level of the party held by Hego Damask II on Planet Sojourn.
Hego Damask II, the Director of the Damask Holding Group, Shu Mai, the Presidente of the Commerce Guild, Nute Gunray, the Viceroy of the Trade Federation, Passel Argente, the Magistrate of the Corporate Alliance, and Wat Tambor, the Foreman of the Techno Union, the Representative of the Fourth Group, Gross Shelby, and Tang Xiao, the Governor of Dawn Star, also attended the dinner.
It even includes gangsters like Dryden Voss, the leader of Crimson Dawn, and Madam Bixi, the leader of White Worms, and there is another person Tang Xiao met for the first time—the Archduke of Planet Geonosis, Poggle the Lesser.
It can be said that the most notorious group of people in the Galaxy gathered at this dinner party.
Tang Xiao also specially brought his own extremely beautiful vase, Anna Isabella. Now this girl is much more generous, and her learning of singing and acting at Planet Dawn is also of great help. At this moment, the girl is holding Tang Xiao's arm very intimately, admiring this luxurious dinner.
Seeing her appearance, Gross Shelby snorted coldly and muttered, 'bitch'.
After the dinner party went on for a while, a somewhat unexpected person also came to the dinner party, it turned out to be the Jedi Master——Dooku!!
But at this moment, Master Dooku was wearing a solemn and noble gown, with a dark black cloak on his back, he was energetic and imposing, but there was no trace of a Jedi knight.
After exchanging pleasantries, Master Dooku came to Tang Xiao, bowed very gracefully, and said, "It's a pleasure to see you again, Your Excellency Governor. The development of Planet Dawn is really beyond my expectation. Such a leader who can lead his planet to self-improvement should be a role model for the outer ring planets."
"Where, Master Dooku is the great man who truly has the future of the entire Galaxy in mind, and you are the one I am looking forward to." Tang Xiao also said politely.
"Hehehehe, I think we will have a lot of common topics." Master Dooku was very helpful and nodded.
Tang Xiao also went to chat for a long time with Dryden Voss, the leader of Crimson Dawn who hadn't seen him for a while, and Mrs. Bixi, the leader of White Worms. I am very grateful for the brave queen's move, and even if they haven't met since then, they have actually been cooperating to carve up the Black Sun, the big cake of the gangster, so the relationship has also been shortened a lot.
In this gathering of bigwigs, the one who is a bit dazzling is the Archduke Poggle of Planet Geonosis, the inferior man. As an insect-like race, the Geonosians are actually a very discriminated group in the Galactic Republic, but the Geonosians are one of the best workers in the Galaxy. Their manufacturing and processing industries are very developed.
However, Tang Xiao knew that Poggle would also be an important figure in the future, so he also went to get acquainted with him. The Geonosian vocal system is complicated to speak Galactic Standard, so a Translation Droid is also accompanied.
Archduke Poggle the Lessor was originally an inferior caste among the Geonosians, which is also reflected in his surname. However, in 34BBY he launched an uprising against the previous leader, the upper caste Archduke Hades and the two sides waged a large-scale civil war.
The strength of the two sides in the civil war was very different, but Poggle was funded by Darth Sidious, so he finally defeated the Archduke of Hades last year, at 33BBY, destroyed his army, became the new Archduke of Planet Geonosis, and threw Hades into the Colosseum to feed the beasts.
The current Geonosians are also very eager to gain a higher status in the Galaxy, instead of being discriminated against for a long time-this point, Poggle, who was born in an inferior caste, empathizes.
Poggle maintained great respect in front of Tang Xiao, the disciple of Hego Damask II, and expressed that if possible, the Geonosians would like to cooperate extensively with Planet Dawn. Although they don't have any design and development capabilities, few people in this Galaxy can compare with the Geonosians in terms of production and manufacturing.
During this gathering, Master Dooku stood up, and he began to tell everyone about his ideals, denouncing the corruption and cowardice of the Galaxy.
Master Dooku was an excellent rhetorician, his voice deep and magnetic, his words full of passion, and he presented to everyone a magnificent and beautiful future—a future that would rule the Galaxy with efficient power.
He hopes that everyone present can participate in this significant change and build a new Republic.
Tang Xiao noticed that people including Wat Tambor, Shu Mai, and Passel Argente were very excited because the business has reached their level, and if they want to go further, they can only seek the country.
But the reactions of Nute Gunray, San Hill, and Poggle were relatively flat. There are more or less shadows of Sith behind them, and they pay more attention to their own Power, not what will happen to this Galactic Republic. Of course, this does not mean that they will oppose Master Dooku's incitement, on the contrary, they also strongly support it.
During the dinner, San Hill came over to find Tang Xiao and asked him a strange question, "Mr. Governor, I heard that you hired a group of Kaleesh mercenaries?"
"Strictly speaking, it's not my employment, but a partnership." Tang Xiao replied with a smile.
"So, what do you think of the Kaleesh mercenaries?"
"As mercenaries, they are fierce, brutal, and have extremely high fighting instincts. I can directly draw a conclusion that after the destruction of the Mandalorian, the Kaleesh people are the best army in this Galaxy."
San Hill, however, shook his head and said, "No, a real Army should enforce orders. The Kaleesh will never do that."
"Why do you suddenly care about this issue?" Tang Xiao asked.
"Because I'm weighing the pros and cons..." San Hill said while touching his chin, "weighing the pros and cons of...Droid and Humans. What do you think? Mr. Governor."
"Droids are a good tool, there is no doubt about it. But your question depends on what kind of Droid it is." Tang Xiao replied with an unpredictable smile.
