Star Wars: The Silver Pledge

A topic that embarrasses lobbyists obviously carries extraordinary weight.

When Xiao En accompanied Zhuang Yuanying and went to the bilge of the Black Stone under the leadership of the lobbyist himself, what he saw and heard made him, who was already mentally prepared, dumbfounded.

"Here, is the place where you imprisoned the dragon man?"

The same unbelievable feeling also existed in Zhuang Yuanying's heart. Standing in front of the bottom cabin door, the girl in a soft hat couldn't help but staggered back.

The Twi'lek sighed. "Very different from what you expected, isn't it?"

Sean nodded, not minding his surprise.

Because what I saw in front of me was indeed far beyond expectations, even contrary to common sense.

The bilge didn't have the bloody, filthy, inhuman picture he imagined, not even the cold iron gates and heavily armed guards.

There is only a warm and harmonious living space whose style and temperament are completely incompatible with the Black Stone. The main colors here are milky white and blue, like a pure and flawless fairyland in fairy tales. In the center of the rotunda facing the door, there are a variety of green plants and flowers. The surrounding walls are painted with warm-themed paintings, and there are simple bone carvings in the open space.

On one side of the hall, there are a variety of food display cabinets, ranging from local vegetables and fruits to exquisite compound dishes.

"Don't worry, there are no traps or tricks here, and the materials and workmanship are all real. And the dragon people who took the Black Stone have always lived here."

The lobbyist didn't make a fool of himself, and led the two of them inside to the bedroom behind the hall—of course it was equally warm and exquisite—while explaining why this hold was so special.

"This place was originally prepared for big figures like Ning Tao, that is, some high-ranking officials who committed taboos in the group and had to flee to the end of the world. Our job is to take them to break through layers of blockades and reach a safe place. These Nobles, even when they are in trouble, often pay attention to food and clothing, so we have followed suit and built this hold to be exquisite and luxurious."

"However, this kind of business of smuggling political figures does not satisfy Kong Zhang. On the one hand, we only make friends with the downcast losers, but offend people on stage; on the other hand, without the cooperation of Baiyin, this kind of business It is also difficult to carry on. So Kong Zhang quickly transferred the Black Stone, and turned to start more profitable business, including the business of the dragon people."

"Well, don't look at me with such hostile eyes. Compared with our colleagues [Qinglong], what we have done is already very kind." The lobbyist waved his hand, indicating that Zhuang Yuanying, who was obviously angry, slightly Don't be impatient, take a seat on the soft recliner in the bedroom.

"Let me make two points first. First, we are not on the Blackstone. We are not sorry for any Dragon Clan. We even try our best to meet some of their tricky requests. We are almost responsive to these people. Even Kong Zhang I may not have such a good treatment when I boarded the ship; secondly, we never used violent means to invite them to board the ship, and everyone boarded the Black Stone willingly."

After finishing speaking, the lobbyist also found a recliner and sat down, spreading his hands: "Next, you can ask any questions you have."

Zhuang Yuanying couldn't restrain herself at first: "I don't believe a word of what you said!"

The lobbyist nodded: "It's a reasonable question. Even I, the person in charge of the matter, often find this kind of thing unbelievable. But, this has to be said about Mr. Kong Zhang's business experience."

"When Kong Zhang first decided to wade into this muddy water, I opposed it, because at that time the Black Stone was already operating a very stable pharmaceutical business, and there was no need to take risks to open up new areas. However, it soon became clear that he was Yes, I was short-sighted."

Sean urged: "Don't tell a story, get to the point."

The lobbyist smiled: "Then you are really embarrassing me. As a lobbyist, being concise is more painful than going on a diet, but since you are the distinguished guests of the bilge, I will refrain from doing it... Kong Zhang’s reason for doing this There were two. First, there were many people who hunted dragonmen for the Qiankun Group at that time. The most outstanding one was [Qinglong]. People can't compete with them at all, so we can only find another way; second, the method of being gentle is often more effective than conquering by force... Speaking of which, how much do you know about the current situation of the dragon people?"

The lobbyist looked at Zhuang Yuanying, but saw that the woman just bit her lip tightly and did not make a sound.

"Well, as expected, you should not be born in [Gen], so your eyes will inevitably be blinded by the world...Of course, I know very little about the dragon people, I only know that they are mainly distributed in [Zhen] ] and [Gen]. Among them, [Zhen] is the industrial area of ​​the entire dry galaxy, so the dragon people living in [Zhen] needless to say, are naturally breeding types. Sorry, the word breeding may be inappropriate, but it means you It should be understandable. For example, the little girl in front of me is fair and clean, and her body is completely imprinted by the civilized world, and the difference from those wild species living in [Gen] is clear at a glance."

Sean asked: "You mean, there are dragon people living in [Gen]?!"

According to Xiao En's understanding, [Gen] should be a polluted planet that is not suitable for living creatures. Although the Qiankun Group has planned to remediate and develop it several times, it has not been able to start work due to various difficulties. The reason why Nan Wuyou was able to promise [Gen] to Kong Zhang was also because it was basically like a chicken rib in essence.

But now the Twi'leks say that there are dragon people living on [Gen]? !

"Not only are there, but there are many. Those wild dragon people have incredible ability to adapt to the environment. They use their own talents and the experience passed down from generation to generation to constantly search for areas where they can survive on [Gen], and at the same time hide from the universe. Hunting by the group. Each [Blue Dragon] must send out the most elite hunters to capture a few dragonmen in the extremely dangerous [Gen] by chance. Of course, as long as they can succeed, the Qiankun Group will definitely give a generous reward."

Then, the Twi'lek grinned: "But we are different. It took us a year to make friends with the local dragon people. The Black Stone went to [Gen] several times and sent them a lot of supplies. From food to agricultural tools, from medicine to weapons, of course, more importantly, we also brought them the temptation of the civilized world."

Sean asked: "Those dragon people, just for some food and farming tools, abandoned their homes and trusted you?"

"Of course it's not as simple as a few words. During that year, Kong Zhang devoted almost all his energy to managing the relationship with the dragon tribe. And the temptation of the civilized world is far stronger than you imagined. You know, The so-called civilization is hundreds of billions of trillions of intelligent creatures who spend tens of millions of years to make their lives better. This accumulation will have a fatal temptation for any intelligent creature! Moreover, we don’t need all Everyone has been recruited, as long as some dragon people are willing to trust us, there will be no shortage of guests in the bottom cabin of our Black Stone."

Sean still finds it difficult to accept this kind of argument: "This kind of deception cannot last long. Those dragon people left their hometown with full of hope, but you sent them to be used as experiments for others. Don't those who stay here have any suspicion? "

The lobbyist said: "It is also a very reasonable question. However, in a sense, we did not deceive people. The dragon people we took away from [Gen] all lived a better life than before, pampered, They have everything they need, and they don’t have to fight against nature in the deadly polluted [Gen] everywhere. All they need to do is to cooperate with Xiarun Medicine to do physical examinations occasionally and take blood samples. In addition, they also have family leave, every year There will always be someone who will return home full of glory."

Zhuang Yuanying couldn't help but question: "According to what you say, isn't this a unilateral concession? Are you purely doing good deeds?"

The lobbyist nodded: "If you only look at what we have done, then we have indeed done good deeds so far. At best, it can be regarded as a win-win situation. After all, we have received a huge subsidy from Xiarun Medicine and established a personal relationship with the top executives of the Qiankun Group. But no matter what However, the dragon people are indeed able to enjoy the beauty of civilization because of us."

Then, under the absolutely distrustful eyes of Zhuang Yuanying and Xiao En, the lobbyist laughed again: "Hehe, of course, there are no perfect fairy tales in the real world. The reason why Qiankun Group indulges the dragon people sent by us , It’s just a long-term plan to catch big fish. Over the years, as our reputation has gradually established, coupled with the background of Qinglong, more and more dragon tribes in [Gen] are willing to trust us. Every batch we send There are more and more dragon people."

"At the same time, those dragon people who enjoy the prosperity and wealth in the civilized world are also an important control group for Xia Run Medicine's experiments, that is, compared with those dragon people who have suffered inhuman treatment, the indicators of this group of people who enjoy the prosperity and wealth will be different. It will be different. However, as far as I know, this kind of controlled trial is coming to an end. Although I don’t know the details, judging from the limited contact, Xiarun Medicine doesn’t seem to get the idea from being kind to the dragon people. If you want the result, then the next..."

Sean asked, "Next, are they going to turn their heads and deny anyone?"

The lobbyist replied: "Probably, Kong Zhang is the only one who has contact with the senior executives of Xiarun Pharmaceutical. I am not qualified to talk directly with them. But judging from Kong Zhang's recent performance, I am afraid he does not want to continue this business." How long has it been. After all, he actually put you group of dangerous elements on board the Blackstone, which was absolutely unimaginable before."

Xiao En asked again: "So, after all, you sent those dragon people to death."

The lobbyist responded: "First, the [Gen] they lived in was not a fairyland with beautiful mountains and rivers. The living conditions of the dragon people have always been very bad, and it may not be much better than being a test product for the Qiankun Group; second, I never said I was a good person, I just explained to you clearly why there is such a warm space on the Black Stone, and there is no need for you to be so hostile and vigilant towards me."
