2279. The origin of Tagge family
However, the real rise of Tepasi was the beginning of the rule of Tagge family more than 200 years ago.
But if you want to say it, Tagge family can dominate Tepasi, which is a very dramatic thing. The degree of magic of this thing is even more outrageous than some novels.
In 200BBY, an unprecedented super earthquake broke out in Tepasi, which was already prone to earthquakes. This earthquake and countless aftershocks almost destroyed the entire Tepasi. Countless people died and many more were displaced. And this huge disaster triggered a very large case of corruption and malfeasance.
Because during this earthquake, Tepasi buildings in major cities were severely damaged, and many towering buildings even disintegrated directly during the earthquake! Tens of thousands of meters of buildings disintegrated and collapsed. For the residents on the ground, this simply meant a rain of stones!
But such a situation should never occur on Tepasi, a planet with a history of more than 20,000 years and which is prone to earthquakes. Counting even more than 30,000 years of civilization history, don't you know that there are many earthquakes on the planet? How is it possible for a building to collapse or even disintegrate on a large scale?
And in view of Tepasi's extremely high political status in Galactic Republic, then Chancellor of the Republic immediately ordered a disaster relief operation and investigated Tepasi's construction company.
So after a thorough investigation, as many as one million cases of corruption were discovered in Tepasi's construction company, and the figures behind the amounts involved were enough to blind anyone.
In fact, this incident can already explain how corrupt Galactic Republic was at that time.
As a result, local construction companies were basically wiped out, and construction companies from other planets could only be introduced. So at such a time, a legendary figure appeared-Tarzan-Tagge (Tarzen Tagge).
This guy was originally the leader of a very large smuggling gang. He often engaged in the smuggling trade of illegal items and made a lot of money as a result. However, he has never been satisfied with his current achievements, so he plans to expand his illegal smuggling business to Core Worlds.
Then at this time, Tepasi, a large-scale investment company, fell in love with him, so he went to Tepasi to register a construction company, not for any other reason, just because at this time, Tepasi was the most convenient to register a construction company. This construction company was originally a leather bag company. Under the cover of this construction company called Tagge Company, Tarzan-Tagge successfully opened up the smuggling market of Core Worlds.
Because the amount of money and materials coming in and out of Tepassi at that time was astronomical, his smuggling business was going very smoothly, so smoothly that he even worried about whether the local economic and security department was fishing for law enforcement. And in order to cover his business, he simply organized a humanitarian aid aid, distributed it for free, and mixed his smuggled goods into it and sent it to the Core Worlds market.
This move gained him some local popularity. Then, something interesting happened - Tagge Company began to receive many construction project orders one after another!
As for the reason, it was actually entirely caused by the corruption of Galactic Republic at that time. Do you think that after the corruption in the construction industry of Tepasi is solved, construction companies from other planets will no longer be corrupt and cut corners? No, they will only take advantage of the situation and cut corners even more.
As a result, some investors who were dissatisfied with this situation began to look for new construction companies, so the new face Tagge Company came into their eyes. The boss of Tagge Company, I heard he is a nice person and he also provides relief supplies for free? Then it's him!
But what about Tarzan-Tagge? He was in a panic at this time. He felt that someone from the leather bag company that had a project come to him was definitely targeting him and wanted to investigate his background and then wipe out his smuggling business.
So Tarzan-Tagge was so determined that he actually bought a large number of construction robots, and even bought a mineral planet. Then he hired experienced construction engineers with high salaries to guide him, and he actually ran over to do construction projects!
And in order to avoid being targeted for the smuggling business under the cover of his own company, Tarzan-Tagge, who has no understanding of the unspoken rules of the construction industry, insists on the principle of quality first. Not to mention cutting corners, the construction projects he does can be said to be excellence. Every building he builds is of the highest quality in terms of quality and beauty!
Although in order to do these construction projects, Tarzan-Tagge almost lost all the money he had earned from illegal smuggling, but he just wanted to compensate. As long as he could avoid this hurdle, there would be more opportunities for smuggling in the future.
But in the eyes of the investors on Tepasi, this Tagge Company is simply the conscience of the industry! The price is fair, the quality is on point, and we strive for excellence. After testing, the buildings built by Tagge Company can withstand even more violent earthquakes, not to mention the damage caused by this rare earthquake!
Core Worlds's wealthy aristocrats don't lack money, they lack a sense of security. After experiencing this Tepasi earthquake, who wants to still live in those shoddy projects? As a result, orders for construction projects flew to Tagge Company like snowflakes.
What? The materials you use are stronger so the cost is higher? No problem. Is doubling the budget enough? If it's not enough, ask me again.
Tarzan-Tagge felt even more frightened at this time. He thought this was a trap! So he dealt with every project very carefully, fearing that his smuggling business would reveal any flaws. There were too many projects, so he continued to expand his construction team. When the supplies were not enough, he purchased a few more mineral planets. I am afraid that I will be exposed because I am overwhelmed.
Moreover, at this time, visits and visits from political figures at all levels began to increase. In order to package himself as a genuine builder, Tarzan-Tagge studied hard day and night, and really regarded himself as a small construction expert. In addition, he was a smuggler, so he naturally had a sharp tongue. When the dignitaries came to visit, what he said was that of a leader who spoke the truth and his words made them stunned.
As a result, there were more and more construction projects, and Tarzan-Tagge almost forgot that he was still a smuggler.
Finally one day, at a planet-level rally, when Governor of Tepasi praised Tarzan-Tagge as the national hero of the planet, he looked at the friendly eyes of the famous officials and wealthy families around him, lowered his head and looked at the blinding long string of zeros on his credit terminal, and then he realized that his business seemed to have gone astray...
After taking a quick look at Tagge Company, Tarzan-Tagge, I discovered that he had already established a large-scale construction company that ranked high even in Core Worlds. The material transportation network spreads over more than ten planets, and an efficient and clean administrative management system has been established. In order to meet the needs of construction projects, he has even acquired several robot companies. Even Space Shipyard, which is building a spaceship, is also under construction.
Compared with the capital he has now, the smuggling business he once did is not even a scumbag.
More importantly, he has a reputation that no one can match on Tepasi! Walking on the street, you can see his holographic avatar almost everywhere, and the hosts and guests on the show also gave him kind words without hesitation. In Tepasi's cities, Tagge Company's advertisements are almost everywhere!
During this gathering, Tarzan-Tagge accepted an archipelago donated by Planet Governor on behalf of all the people as his hereditary private domain, and he was also awarded the status of baron, hereditary.
So... maybe no one is investigating my smuggling business now? Tarzan-Tagge thought in his heart.
