Battlefield Contractor

After the Black Island negotiating delegation arrived in Libya, Lin Rui went to meet Angel, the head of the delegation.

Angel, a limping old man in a suit and leather shoes, with his big belly, is a bit like a big boss.

After seeing Lin Rui, he was very happy. He patted Lin Rui on the shoulder and said, "Michelle did not misunderstand you. He was able to win such a big contract. It seems that this world is indeed young. We are. These old guys should indeed retire."

"Don't pretend to be humble, everyone knows that you, the chief financial officer, are the key to the operation of Black Island." Lin Rui shook his head, "How is the negotiation process going?"

"Very good. Harris is currently one of the few Libyan warlords with strong financial resources. It is no wonder that the wealth and connections accumulated by the Gaddafi family back then are enough to ensure that he becomes one of the powerful warlords in Libya.

So the negotiations went smoothly, but there were some minor problems that needed to be resolved. Although this guy has money, he doesn't want to give us the money too easily.

His proposal is that the contract we signed with him, including specific cooperation projects, can only receive 1/4 of the payment due for the time being, and the rest will be paid later. "Angel shook his head.

"Unexpectedly, although he has strong financial resources, he needs to spend a lot of money. At this stage, it is not very realistic for him to pay the full amount." Lin Rui nodded.

"Yes, but then we will suffer too much. So we proposed that if there is no money, we can use other physical collateral. Including part of the income of Sirte Port within 5 years, and a few good output The annual revenue of the oil well.

We must all draw a certain percentage from it. The situation a few years later is uncertain, so we require rapid cost recovery, at least to be guaranteed. "Angel dipped a cigar in his mouth.

"He would definitely not agree to such a condition." Lin Rui smiled.

"Actually, he agreed, but ah, he also played a trick. If we want the benefits of oil wells and ports, he will take advantage of the trend to provide protection for oil wells and ports.

In other words, only if we undertake the protection of oil wells and ports at the same time, they will agree to extract part of the proceeds from it. "Angel replied.

"It's not a loss. For us, a certain amount of work has been increased, and for him, he can save a lot of security expenses." Lin Rui nodded.

Angel also nodded, "If this is the case, I have nothing to say. However, one of the problems is that one of their oil wells currently has problems."

"What kind of question?" Lin Rui frowned.

"It's too close to the battlefield. You know that there are frequent wars in Libya. The current news is that the Libyan National Army in the east has assembled a large force to march towards the Libyan capital and has occupied a few strategically important places.

In the process of ground advancement, it also encountered firm resistance from the Libyan Unity Government. The latter not only launched 6 air strikes, but also seized 3 military vehicles of the Eastern Forces.

Although Sirte was far away from where they were fighting, one of the oil pipelines was close to the Libyan Unity Government.

Because the two sides are fighting fiercely, the southern Syrian area controlled by the Libyan National Army contains more than 70% of the country's oil, while the northern area controlled by the Libyan National Unity Government controls the southern oil transportation pipeline.

Neither side would give in, and they have been fighting for a long time. In Harris’ oil well, an oil pipeline is also under the control of the Libyan National Unity Government and has been forcibly closed.

Harris was very clear about what he meant. He asked us to reopen this pipeline. Guarantee the output of the oil well, because only then can he have the money to pay us. "Angel shook his head.

Lin Rui smiled bitterly, "This guy is really cunning. They threw this matter to us, just wanting us to help him solve this trouble.

If it can be resolved, it will be no problem for us to share a portion of the profit from the oil well's output. If it can't be solved, it's not that he refuses to pay, but we can only blame our inability.

So no matter how this problem is solved, he will not suffer. "

Angel nodded, "A wise man is a wise man. As long as I say it, you will understand."

"So what does Silver Wolf mean?" Lin Rui asked.

"The meaning of the silver wolf is that we can give it a try. If we can solve this problem and reopen this pipeline. It means that our remuneration is adequately guaranteed.

We make oil wells produce normally and output oil normally. Then Harris, there is no reason to owe our salary. Because this time the contract also marked related matters.

You know that we and Harris will conduct comprehensive cooperation. Just for military training, we have to invest a lot of money and personnel.

If there is no timely income, it means that we will have to subsidize this part of the input in the early stage, and then there will be benefits in the later stage.

This is not a small amount of money. Although our company is currently in a good financial situation, it does not want to drag on such an unnecessary burden. After all, we are a large military company with thousands of people. There are many places to spend money. "Angel explained.

"This is a bit tricky. The Libyan National Unity Government is currently the legitimate government of Libya. In theory, the power to open the pipeline is in their hands.

Although Harris is wealthy, he belongs to a local warlord after all. Although he bears the name of a head of the Sirte local government, he cannot change this fact. Lin Rui frowned, "Moreover, the relationship between him and the Libyan National Unity Government is not so harmonious. Otherwise, the Libyan National Unity Government will not close this oil pipeline.

I am afraid that this matter cannot be resolved through ordinary negotiations. "

"The difficulty lies here. The Libyan National Unity Government cannot let go. Although they are caught in a bitter battle with the Libyan National Army, they will not bow to a local warlord. What do you think of this matter?" Angell Replied.

"They will not bow to a local warlord. If other forces intervene, they will not bow their heads. For example, what is the attitude of other Western powers, the United States and France?" Lin Rui thought about it and asked.

"The attitude of the United States and France is ambiguous, because this pipeline has little to do with them. I personally think that to solve this problem, what is needed is not the country, but the business." Angel replied.

"Business?" Lin Rui frowned.
