Selling oil across Libya

Chapter 54: Tripoli Taken Over by the Devil

This is why Qin Rui doesn't buy American goods.

The United States is a truly toxic country. Whether it's services or products, there are backdoors everywhere, making it impossible to guard against them.

The batch of "Vanguard" rifles that the Numidian Brigade obtained through Payne were used as rocket launchers by the Numidian Brigade officers and soldiers.

Qin Rui did not place any additional orders. After the Shield 2000 arrived, he destroyed all the remaining Vanguard units, leaving none behind.

Although these advanced weapons could be used to attack the armed helicopters equipped by the Zintan Brigade.

Qin Rui was certain that once Numidia Brigade and NATO clashed, these anti-aircraft missiles would become bombs that could be detonated at any time.

The same goes for the Hummer command vehicle.

If the Numidian Brigade distributes these command vehicles to its leadership, the U.S. military could launch a decapitation strike against the Numidian Brigade at any time.

To reiterate: being an enemy of the United States is dangerous, while being an ally of the United States is fatal.

If Qin Rui were a politician who wanted to make a quick buck, he wouldn't mind paying protection money to the United States through military purchases.

After all, the kickbacks offered by military enterprises are indeed quite generous.

No matter how much the military industry pays, it can't match the profits from oil fields.

The system would not allow Qin Rui to do that.

Since military contractors in the Middle East began tampering with Humvees, Numidian Brigade naturally terminated this business.

The command vehicle wasn't returned either; after all, a $2 Hummer military vehicle was a real steal.

Moreover, it's a specially reinforced Hummer command vehicle for a more comfortable ride.

After arriving in Tripoli, Qin Rui and Mia began their nine-to-five "office worker" life.

Qin Rui's official position is Yuri's assistant.

Mia is Qin Rui's assistant.

Qin Rui's office was next to Yuri's. Mia put her desk opposite Qin Rui. When Qin Rui was busy, Mia would use the computer to learn Chinese, hoping to communicate with Qin Rui in Chinese as soon as possible.

Although Qin Rui, Qin Liang, Ding Jian, and Wang Hai all speak Arabic, they are more accustomed to communicating in Chinese.

Mia couldn't allow any language barrier between herself and Qin Rui.

Qin Rui and Mi Ya went to a restaurant for lunch together.

In the evening, Qin Rui and Mi Ya went to the supermarket to buy groceries together, and then went home together to cook, just like any other couple, inseparable.

We still sleep separately at night.

Although Ding Jian was unable to invite Yu Pang himself, he did invite two senior executives from Pang Donglai, as well as Pang Donglai's entire set of rules and regulations.

Qin Rui not only put the two of them in charge of the supermarket's renovation, but also handed over the management of the entire commercial area to Meng Hong and Shen Feng.

"Mr. Qin, we've only ever worked in supermarkets, we've never done anything else."

Meng Hong was uneasy, worried about causing a negative impact.

"As long as you implement Pang Donglai's service philosophy in every corner of the commercial area and provide better service to customers, it doesn't matter whether you make money or not."

Qin Rui suddenly remembered something: "We don't have a grievance award here. If you are bullied, don't keep it to yourself. Call the police immediately or call security."

Whether someone is mentally ill or a minor, anyone who breaks the law here will be severely punished.

The Legislative Council is very efficient and has already passed more than ten laws.

In addition to the Constitution, the Criminal Law, and the Civil Law, the Agency Registration Law, which Qin Rui valued most, was also passed immediately.

The Agency Registration Law explicitly stipulates that all Libyans must proactively register with Numidia Travel and undergo rigorous scrutiny when engaging in economic activities with foreign organizations or individuals.

The economic activities mentioned here include, but are not limited to, exchanges and research conducted in the name of academia.

"President Qin, the purpose of establishing the grievance award is not to condone crime, but to provide financial compensation to employees."

Meng Hong said seriously that reporting the incident to the police and rewarding the employee were not contradictory.

"That won't work either."

Qin Rui persisted.

Every East Asian worker who arrives in Tripoli receives a booklet about Libyan customs and laws before departure.

In Libya, crying, making a scene, or threatening suicide will not only fail to achieve your goal, but may also escalate the situation further and result in more severe punishment.

Tripoli police do have loaded guns. If the police tell you to stop, it's best not to run, or they really will shoot.

Libya has introduced the rule of no retreat and the castle rule, which state that when individuals are attacked in their homes, cars, or workplaces, they are not required to back down and can use deadly force to protect themselves and their families from harm.

It is permitted, but the specific sentencing by the court will depend on the specific circumstances.

We must not be overly defensive.

A month ago, a young man in Hums broke into his neighbor's house while drunk, got into a fight, and was stabbed in the chest with a fruit knife by his neighbor. He died after being taken to the hospital.

The Hummus court invoked the rules of non-compromise and the castle rule, not only acquitting the neighbor but also ordering the drunkard's family to compensate the neighbor for his losses.

Also a month earlier, an Eni executive, while driving under the influence of alcohol, struck and killed a sanitation worker on a street in Tripoli.

Although the executive was Italian, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison after paying a large sum of money in compensation and obtaining forgiveness from the cleaner's family.

In Tripoli, drunk driving is illegal.

The executive should be thankful that the cleaner has family, which gave him the opportunity to gain their understanding.

Otherwise, the executives could very well be sentenced to death.

This verdict not only sparked heated discussions in Tripoli, but also attracted strong attention from the Italian media.

Every family has its own problems. Although Italy is a developed country, Italians' dissatisfaction with the Italian judicial system is even more severe than that of Libya.

In Italy, similar cases typically require a lengthy investigation that can last for several years before being brought to court for trial.

The Tripoli court took only half a month from the time the case was filed to its conclusion.

The trial was over before the Italian government even had a chance to plead for leniency for the perpetrators.

"President Qin, if we really do this, won't we anger Numidia Travel?"

Meng Hong was uncertain about the consequences of strictly enforcing the law and holding violators accountable.

The Chinese people have enjoyed peace for a long time, and "warlords" have become a historical term, disappearing into the long river of history.

"Mr. Meng, you were invited by Numidia Asia Travel; "

As long as you are conscientious and responsible, you won't anger the Numidian Brigade.

Qin Rui reminded Meng Hong to cheer up and work in Tripoli for ten years, after which he could retire.

Numidian Travel offered Meng Hong and Shen Feng a monthly salary of $1, plus an annual bonus of no less than three months' salary.

Qin Rui hadn't expected that Meng Hong and Shen Feng's biggest difficulty wasn't language, but rather the Libyan people's work habits.

Language is not a problem; there are translators available.

The work ethic of Libyans is far from serious and responsible; it can even be described as lax.

Qin Rui trusted his employees implicitly; he fined those who deserved it and dismissed those who deserved it, as long as the results were satisfactory.

Just as Meng Hong and Shen Feng were getting into work mode, Bo Bo broke the news: Tripoli has been taken over by the devil!
