Selling oil across Libya

Chapter 32 An endless supply of money, simply too much to spend.

Qin Rui bought the tunnel boring machine not to build a subway, but to dig a tunnel.

Tripoli and Zawiya are both peaceful and have an open view, making it difficult to keep secrets.

There are not many mountains in Libya.

Within the Numidian Brigade-controlled area, the only relatively large mountains besides the Western Hills are the Tibesti Mountains, which straddle the border between Lebanon and Chad.

The main ridge of the Tibesti Mountains lies within Chad, with only a small portion in Libya, and it is nearly 1000 kilometers from Tripoli.

Therefore, Xishan became the best choice for digging tunnels.

Qin Rui was not on the Jefala Plain side either.

Instead, they went around to the Hamla Desert side to excavate.

Although the plateau at the top of Xishan Mountain is only 19-26 square kilometers in area, the total area is about 3000 square kilometers.

Qin Rui didn't mention hollowing it out.

Digging only one-thousandth of it would be enough for Qin Rui to achieve his goal.

Many caves once inhabited by ancient humans remain in Xishan.

Many caves are several kilometers, or even tens of kilometers, deep.

Qin Rui named one of the caves, which was up to 100 meters wide and 1 kilometer deep, Cave No. 1. After renovating the cave, he moved Bengaldan's fireworks factory there.

The toy factory is in hole number two.

There's no need to worry about electricity.

Qin Rui plans to cover the platform at the top of Xishan Mountain with solar panels.

The beach is filled with windmills.

Solar energy and wind turbines can be used to power Ding Jian.

The factory cannot be handed over to Ding Jian.

It's not that I don't trust Ding Jian.

Even with the utmost trust, you should always keep a backup plan.

Of course, Qin Rui wouldn't exchange workers from the system.

This year, global sales of industrial robots reached approximately 16.5 units, a 37% increase compared to last year.

There are many outstanding industrial robot companies in East Asia, such as Siasun, which is backed by the Shenyang Institute of Automation.

Another example is Huaheng, which has made outstanding achievements in the field of automated complete sets of equipment.

Qin Rui has contacted Siasun and Huaheng to prepare to use industrial robots as much as possible.

All the researchers Qin Rui redeemed from the system have now been transferred to the field of industrial robots.

……

The payments made by Eni Group were deposited in accounts at Union Credit Bank and Union São Paulo Bank.

United Credit Bank was slightly slower to respond.

United São Paulo contacted Yuri, hoping to locate its African headquarters in Tripoli.

Although Intesa Sanpaolo had operations in Africa, it did not have a headquarters there; its operations were all handled by its global headquarters in Turin.

Even after the establishment of the African headquarters, United São Paulo may not transfer all of its business there.

The key is attitude.

Yuri was delighted and, with a stroke of his pen, approved 150 acres of land for United São Paulo next to Martyrs' Square.

When the news broke, United Credit, the Big Four banks, and Eni Group flocked to the scene.

Yuri accepted all comers. One family owned 150 acres and designed and built the house themselves. The only requirement was that the green area should not be less than 50%.

Banks are flocking to establish branches in Tripoli in preparation for future financial business.

Eni Group, on the other hand, hopes to continue developing its business with Numidia.

For Numidia, 700 million barrels of oil is just one month's production.

Even including the 100,000 barrels per day supplied to ExxonMobil, it would still take a month.

Although Ding Jian has not yet officially started the next phase of negotiations, a 29-person inspection team has arrived in Tripoli and is inspecting the oil fields controlled by Numidia Company.

Meanwhile, a 150-person oil development team has arrived at the Sharara oil field, which has greatly boosted the resumption of production at the Sharara oil field.

The Sharara oil field alone has a peak daily production of up to 30 barrels.

Libya's oilfield extraction equipment is outdated, technologically backward, and inefficient.

After surveying the oil extraction equipment, the inspection team concluded that if the most advanced oil extraction equipment were used, the daily output of the Sharara oil field alone could easily reach 50 barrels per day.

The most amazing thing is that Numidia doesn't even need to spend money on upgrading its equipment; all the costs of upgrading the equipment are covered by the Tripoli company.

The Tripoli company was established less than three days ago and is registered in the Cayman Islands.

Since the Tripoli company is funding the equipment upgrades for the Sharara oil field.

The increased oil production will naturally belong to the Tripoli Company.

The Tripoli company not only did not take the opportunity to lower prices, but also hoped to reach a long-term supply agreement with Numidia at a price of $110 per barrel.

Qin Rui finally understood why oil-producing countries were so wealthy.

This money is practically like finding it on the street.

After entering November, the oil fields controlled by the Numidian Brigade had increased their daily production to 11 barrels, reaching about 30 percent of the peak production before the outbreak of the war.

The oil fields controlled by the provisional government had a daily output of only 200,000 barrels, less than 20 percent of the total.

This is very embarrassing.

This cannot be blamed on the interim government.

After all, the legitimacy of the president has not yet been confirmed, and the interim government is fraught with uncertainty from top to bottom, with its future uncertain.

An even more important reason is that the oil fields in the areas controlled by the interim government have all been taken over by Royal Dutch Shell and Total, and the interim government has not been involved.

Therefore, the exact production volume is entirely determined by Royal Dutch Shell and Total.

Qin Rui did not take charge of the provisional government.

Of the 300,000 barrels of oil produced by Numidia, 100,000 barrels went to Eni, 100,000 barrels to ExxonMobil, and the remaining 100,000 barrels to Tripoli Company.

Both Eni and Mobil are offering $90 per barrel.

Tripoli Company 110.

Numidian Travel is doing nothing right now, yet it's making 2900 million a day.

Now that we have money, we have to spend it; we can't just let it sit in the account.

With nothing else to do, Qin Rui opened Tieba and continued posting using the account "Numidiya Travel Translator".

We are looking to purchase 100 armored vehicles, with the following requirements:

The vehicle body can withstand 12.7 mm bullets;

Undercarriage lightning protection;

Modular design, allowing for the replacement of a 40mm grenade launcher or a 12.7mm heavy machine gun;

Equipped with an active protection system;

(Bold) The air conditioner must have enough power to be suitable for use in the desert environment.

The post was published in less than 20 seconds.

Hand of Justice: With such a small quantity and so many requirements, the price will be very high. It would be better to consider spot trading with more mature technology.

Numidian translator: Can one car afford to spend $2900 million?

The Hand of Justice took a full two minutes to reply: You can't spend it all.

Although he couldn't see it through the internet, Qin Rui could imagine how much the Hand of Justice's emotions had fluctuated in those short two minutes.

Numidian translator: Then bring 100 vehicles in stock, make sure the air conditioning is strong enough, and don't skimp on fuel!

Hand of Justice: ...

Numidian translator: Replace all the seats with aviation seats, reinforce the vehicle body, and use Kevlar for everything that needs to be used. Don't try to save me money.

The Hand of Justice: There's something better.

Numidian translator: Then use it.

Hand of Justice: However, this makes it more expensive.

Numidian translator: Can we possibly spend $2900 million?

The Hand of Justice: Never-ending!
