Selling oil across Libya

From a purely business perspective, Yu Pangqian's business is not a supermarket, but a charity.

Coincidentally, Qin Rui doesn't need the supermarket to make money; he just needs it to break even.

This requirement, while not high, is not low either.

The key issue is that there are too few people in the community, and their desire for material goods is not high. The supermarket's current profits are not even enough to cover the water and electricity bills.

Although solar panels are installed on the roof, air conditioning is a major electricity consumer.

The supermarket, which covers nearly 2,000 square meters, has more stock clerks than customers, making it feel like you have the whole place to yourself.

The variety of products is quite extensive, with more than a dozen types of shampoo alone.

There are many kinds of food, with more than 20 kinds of canned fish alone.

The variety of fruits is not rich enough, with only common fruits such as apples, bananas, tangerines, and oranges.

It's good enough if there are any. There are only a few hundred people every day, and more are thrown away than sold.

Throwing it away is out of the question.

These fruits are only sold for one day; any unsold fruit will be sent to the cafeteria.

Mia's purpose was to buy clothes for Qin Rui, so she went straight to the clothing section of the supermarket.

It's quite surprising that the supermarket's clothing section sells suits.

And it's a branded suit, too.

Although it's not a major European or American brand, it offers exceptional value for money.

Mia bought Qin Rui two black suits, complete with shirts, ties, belts, and leather shoes, and also got him two boxes of underwear.

Qin Rui's figure is still very standard, and size 185 fits him perfectly.

Miller is also 185cm tall.

The white-skinned person has slightly developed muscles and needs to wear size 190.

The supermarket has no cashiers; it's a self-service checkout system where customers scan a code to pay, and the cards used are military cards issued by the Bank of Numidia.

After carrying her bags up to the third floor and having a coffee, Mia wasn't interested in watching a movie and went home.

Qin Rui called Ding Jian and asked him to send a letter to Yu Pang, inviting him to open a supermarket in Tripoli.

"Mr. Qin, you're quite knowledgeable in this field!"

Ding Jian was surprised by Qin Rui's knowledge of East Asia.

He was born and raised in Libya and has never been to East Asia. Not only does he speak Mandarin more fluently than Ding Jian, but he also knows about Pang Donglai, which shows he has an extraordinary level of knowledge.

At this time in 2012, many Chinese people were not very familiar with Pang Donglai.

"If Mr. Yu is unavailable in person, sending two senior executives will suffice. We will cover all expenses, and they can use Mr. Yu's nameplate."

Qin Rui hopes that companies like Pang Donglai will go global soon and re-establish standards in the service industry.

Ding!

[Evolution Value] +100000.

Qin Rui counted it three times before confirming it was 100,000.

This is insane!

Come!

The person must come in person!

If no one comes, then we don't need the 2000 defense shield.

While Qin Rui and Mia were shopping at the supermarket, a power struggle was unfolding behind the Shield 2000.

The game actually started a long time ago.

Following the conclusion of Operation Odyssey Dawn, the United Nations partially lifted the arms embargo on Libya, but not completely.

Although the Shield 2000 can only be used for defense, it actually has offensive capabilities and can attack all aircraft within its defensive range.

The Tripoli company was also smart; it didn't announce it to the public immediately.

Instead, the announcement was made after the Shield 2000 arrived in Tripoli.

By this time, the Black Hawk and Brahms aided by Mobil had already arrived in Tripoli.

Even so, the Shield 2000 still sparked huge controversy.

Let's not even talk about the attack power of the 2000-defense shield.

Orders worth $10 billion are rare, with only a handful coming in a year worldwide.

Including spare missiles, a single Shield 2000 system has 160 missiles.

Don't mention 160 pieces.

Even just 16 missiles would be enough to turn Libya, or at least Tripoli, into a NATO no-fly zone.

"Buying an FD2000 would be unwise; it's not the right time for us, nor should we."

Jalil demanded that Yuri tear up the agreement.

"Why not?"

Yuri wants Jalil to sell his properties in Europe.

If Jalil is willing to sell his properties in Europe, Yuri can give him the Aziziya barracks.

There is a golf course in the Aziziya military camp.

"If we need an air defense system, why can't we buy the Standard Missile 3?"

Jalil did not want to offend NATO.

"Not to mention that the standard 3 is more than twice the price of the FD2000; "

If Standard Missile 3 can be used to defend against intrusions by NATO military aircraft or missiles, then we have no problem purchasing Standard Missile 3.

You surely know why we need to buy anti-aircraft missiles.

Yuri was becoming increasingly impatient with Jalil.

After the United Nations recognized the National Assembly as the only legitimate government in Libya, Jalil became dispensable to the Numidian Brigade.

"We are NATO allies, how could NATO possibly attack us?"

Jalil didn't know if he was genuinely stupid or just pretending.

"Your Excellency, I hope that you will consider Libya's interests before you say or do anything."

Yuri spoke his mind.

Jalil turned pale, as if struck by lightning.

After Jalil resigned from the Libyan government, he publicly called on NATO to launch a military strike against Libya, which led to Operation Odyssey Dawn.

During the Benghazi coup, the rebel army used this as a pretext to claim that they would settle scores with Jalil.

That's why Jalil resigned and fled.

"The FD2000 will only be used for defense, not for attack."

Anyone who opposes our purchase of the FD2000 is our enemy!

Yuri, armed with a deadly weapon, was filled with murderous intent.

Off the coast of Libya, a U.S. destroyer carrying Tomahawk missiles is patrolling.

The USS Enterprise and USS Eisenhower aircraft carriers are in Alexandria, Egypt.

During Operation Odyssey Dawn, NATO aircraft launched more than 7,000 military strikes against Libya from airports in southern Italy.

Ding Jian brought nearly 600 instructors along with the Shield 2000.

If US Tomahawk missiles and NATO warplanes dare to come to Libya again, Yuri will certainly not hold back.

"You're insane! You must be insane!"

Jalil hadn't expected Yuri's attitude to be so resolute.

"If they have no ill intentions towards us, they have nothing to worry about even if we possess the FD2000."

Yuri is not afraid of death.

The cyborgs that Qin Rui exchanged for can be reborn through the system once they die.

Therefore, once they are seriously injured, they usually choose to fight to the death.

"I'm not crazy. I just hope that those countries that pride themselves on being 'civilized' can truly become civilized and do what civilized countries do."

Yuri remained expressionless.

"The world we live in has never had true civilization."

Or rather, the civilization we have built is merely a rudimentary mechanical civilization, not a civilization in the true sense of the word.

Jalil was saddened.

Jalil's standards of "civilization" also differ from those of Western countries.

"No, just like when European colonists held gunpowder guns and forced the world to accept their so-called civilized way of life."

"If we truly possess strength, we too can use the methods Europeans once used to treat the world to bring about genuine civilization."

Yuri has lofty ambitions.

Jalil was dumbfounded, his worldview completely overturned.
