Selling oil across Libya

Chapter 13 Divine Protection

Qin Rui not only needs skilled manufacturing workers, but also various technical personnel.

Especially the technical personnel needed for oil extraction.

At its peak, Libya had more than 10 oil workers.

The Sharara oil field accounts for about a quarter of Libya's oil production.

Therefore, Qin Rui needs at least 2.5 workers to get the Sharara oil field and the refinery in Zawiya back into production.

There are two oil pipelines leading to Zawiya.

The pipeline leads to the Sharara oil field, passing through another oil field along the way.

The two pipelines together account for nearly one-third of Libya's total oil production.

Before the war, Libya's daily oil production was approximately 160 million barrels.

Of these, approximately 50 barrels were exported through Zawiya.

Affected by the Libyan civil war, oil prices once soared to $127 a barrel in April this year.

Even though the price has now fallen to $113, 50 barrels would be $5650 million per day.

The current exchange rate between RMB and USD is 1:6.3, and the daily amount is 3.5595 million.

Let's assume an annual salary of 12.

The daily profit is enough to hire 3000 people for a year.

3.3 people, 11 days is enough.

Qin Rui calculated the amount to be paid out over half a month, and the extra amount would be given as a bonus.

After learning about Qin Rui's plans, Wang Hai couldn't help but feel dizzy.

The oil industry alone requires 3.3 people.

Even if you only give someone 200, let alone 2, Wang Hai would still make sparks fly from the keyboard.

Qin Rui really gave 2.

With 2 per person and 3.3 people, the profits from two days wouldn't even be used up.

While Wang Hai was working hard, Qin Liang was having tea with Mayor Bashir in Bengaldan's office.

"Qin, you should know that Libya is currently at war, so for security reasons, I suggest you locate the factory in an inland area far from the border."

Bashir was very pleased; it was rare to see such a generous businessman as Qin Liang.

Qin Liang's gift to Bashir was a standard gold bar weighing 18.14 kilograms.

So Qin Liang only spent $5500 to obtain a piece of land located on the border.

There is a group of lakes on the border between Tunisia and Libya.

One of them is an uninhabited peninsula, with only half in Tunisia and the other half in Libya.

Qin Liang bought 5500 mu of land, including half a peninsula and the nearby lake.

Qin Liang glanced at the Rolex on his wrist, twirled the ring on his middle finger set with a ruby ​​the size of a pigeon's egg, and smiled as he said in Arabic, "Don't worry about me, you should know why I put the factory here."

Qin Liang has two factories: one produces toys and the other produces fireworks.

A moment later, Qin Liang took his leave, and Bashir personally escorted him to the door.

Three Lincoln SUVs silently rolled over and slowly came to a stop in front of Bashir's residence.

More than ten burly men wearing black T-shirts and bulletproof vests, fully armed, got out of the car and surrounded Qin Liang.

The fear in Bashir's eyes was fleeting. He ignored the M4s and AK74s in the hands of the burly men and his smile became even more ingratiating.

Although Tunisia does not allow the open carrying of firearms, Tunisian law has been virtually ineffective since President Ben Ali was ousted in a coup in January of this year.

After exchanging four companies in a row, Qin Rui now had 11 companies under his command. Six were in Tripoli, three were preparing to advance towards the Sharara oil field, one was preparing to attack the border between Turkey and Libya, and the last company was a blank unit, defending the old stronghold of Zawiya.

Near the Tunisian-Libyan border, a large number of Libyans who want to enter Tunisia but cannot obtain refugee certificates are stranded in Libya.

The Tunisian government has deployed barbed wire along the border and sent border police to patrol continuously to prevent Libyans from illegally crossing the border.

Tasnim and Aisha walked to the Tunisian-Libyan border, hoping their God would bless them so they could leave Libya and enter Tunisia safely.

"Mia has been poisoned by Tiger; she'll definitely regret it."

Tasnim wanted to go to Europe with Elsa, so the two traveled together.

Tasnim and Mahmoud's relationship wasn't as deep as she thought.

After leaving the port area, Mahmoud was going to Tripoli to seek refuge with the Liberation Army.

Tasnim didn't want to go, so the two parted ways on the spot.

"Who knows? Let's hope God will bless us."

Elsa gave a bitter smile, her eyes blank.

Elsa only began to regret it after leaving the port.

Elsa wanted to go to Europe, but she didn't know how to get there.

"Tiger is a bastard! He could have helped us, but he didn't say a word."

Tasnim was indignant.

"Tiger has already helped us a lot."

Elsa is not ungrateful; her ideals outweigh everything else.

"Tiger and Mia live in the villa, what about us?"

Did you see Mia's new clothes? Do we have them?

Mia doesn't need to receive training or do cleaning.

Mia must have slept with Tiger; they must have slept together last night.

Tasnim's feelings weren't entirely resentful; there was also a deeper sense of jealousy.

"Don't say that, Mia didn't. She's always treated Tiger like a brother."

Elsa took the initiative to defend Mia.

"That was true before, but what about in the future?"

I'm telling you, once you try that kind of thing, you'll never forget it...

Tasnim stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, his seductive smile tinged with a hint of wickedness.

Just as Elsa was about to speak, several pickup trucks suddenly drove up in the distance.

"Quick, hide!"

Elsa's first reaction was correct.

Tasnim looked at Elsa as if she were an idiot.

Libya, with a total area of ​​176 million square kilometers, has only 2000 square kilometers of forest.

You read that right, there wasn't a missing zero, it really is only two thousand.

More than 95% of Libya is desert and semi-desert. There are no perennial rivers or large lakes in the country, but groundwater resources are abundant and wells and springs are widely distributed, making them the main water source.

The northern coast of Libya has a subtropical Mediterranean climate with warm and rainy winters, which is why there are drainage ditches along the roads.

The inland area has a tropical desert climate, which is hot and dry with little rainfall. The average annual precipitation is less than 100 millimeters, and the central part of Sebha is one of the driest regions in the world.

Apart from villages and towns, there is virtually no cover on the surface of Libya.

In such terrain, there is nowhere to hide.

The pickup truck headed straight for the two men, but the armed men inside didn't get out immediately; instead, they kept circling around them.

"Get out of here! You damn bastards! Get out of here!"

Tasnim brandished a wooden stick, making a show of force.

Elsa collapsed to the ground, her face filled with despair.

A moment later, a convoy arrived.

Finally, some militants got off and threw Tasnim and Aisha into a truck in the convoy.

The truck bed was filled with women who were disheveled and had blank expressions.

A very beautiful woman, seeing someone board the train, lay down on the floor of the carriage with a silly grin and spread her legs.

Tasnim was stunned and remained motionless.

"God, bless me!"

Elsa bowed her head in prayer, then suddenly leaped out of the carriage.

The car behind couldn't avoid it and dragged Elsa under its wheels.
