Rebus has been feeling a little depressed recently. It's not that he's anxious because he can't complete the tasks set by the Brotherhood. On the contrary, it's that he feels sad because his output is rising steadily.
During the period under the control of Basel Petroleum Development Company, the daily output of Mobil Oilfield was basically about 8,000 barrels, with a fluctuation of about 500 barrels.
It is normal for production to fluctuate, and Basel Petroleum Development Company allows such fluctuations.
When the Brothers Alliance took over the Mobil Oilfield on the first day, the production that day was still 8,000 barrels. Then on the second day, the production task assigned by the Brothers Alliance was 10,000 barrels.
Ten thousand barrels
This was a production rate that the Mobil Oilfield had never achieved, so Rebus went to the menacing-looking Jackson and wanted him to modify the production tasks.
Jackson flatly rejected Rebus and categorically stated that if the Mobil Oil Field did not reach the production of 10,000 barrels at sunset, all Mobil Oil Field employees, including Rebus, would die.
die
This word that sounded a little bloody immediately frightened Rebus, so much so that he rolled up his trousers and got on the derrick that day, using a desperate posture to cope with the increase in the workload by a quarter.
.
What Rebus didn't expect was that at four o'clock in the afternoon, before the sun had set, and before it was time to get off work, Rebus and the others had pulled out 10,000 barrels of oil from the ground, and the output that day was one million barrels.
A thousand barrels.
Rebus still can't forget the meaningful look in Jackson's eyes when he saw that number.
Then on the third day, the daily production became 12,000 barrels. Without any accident, this production was completed ahead of schedule again. By sunset, the final production was 15,000 barrels.
There has been no improvement in Rebus's management methods. The reason why output has increased so much is partly because the five daily prayers have been reduced to one before work, and partly because of the additional bonuses paid by Jackson.
You know, after over-fulfilling the task on the first day, Jackson announced on the spot that half of the profit earned from exceeding the completed task that day would be used as a reward for the workers.
Rebus didn't know exactly how much money this was, but judging from the bonuses paid by Jackson, in just one day, Mobil Oilfield workers received a bonus equal to their salary in the past month.
So there was no need for Rebus to supervise, everyone worked hard like clockwork, and the output of Mobil Oilfield also increased again and again, from the earliest daily output of 8,000 barrels to 10,000 barrels, and then to
Twelve thousand barrels, thirteen thousand barrels, and until these days, it has remained around fifteen thousand barrels.
To be honest, Rebus is numb now. If the Mobil Oilfield could reach this output before the Brotherhood came, I am afraid that Rebus and Leslie would have been promoted early, and they would not have to continue to sit here and eat sand.
Rebus has a better fate and still has the opportunity to eat sand. Leslie may have turned into a mummy now and doesn't even have the chance to eat sand.
Just when the brotherhood alliance occupied the Mobil oil field, Leslie, as a distant relative of Basel, still resisted, but it was meaningless. Leslie and several confidants loyal to Basel were shot to death, and even those who surrendered were shot to death.
No chance.
Thinking of this, Rebus felt happy and sad at the same time.
Fortunately, I am still alive. What is sad is that those locals who were terribly lazy under the Basel Petroleum Development Company have become model workers under the Brotherhood. This is simply incredible for North Africans. You know,
If they can perform so well when working under Basel Petroleum Development Company, then Basel Petroleum Development Company will not mind paying these workers such a high salary.
Unfortunately, there is no chance to compare.
But Rebus is not in a hurry, because Rebus knows very well that Prince Basel will not let the Mobil Oilfield fall into the hands of the brotherly alliance. Sooner or later, the people of Prince Basel will come back, and Rebus can feel it.
, it should not be far away when the Prince of Basel's men return, because in the past two days, fewer and fewer Brothers Alliance soldiers have fallen in the Mobil oil field, and it seems that they are preparing to retreat.
On this day, when Rebus was about to go to work as usual, two Brother Alliance soldiers brought Rebus to Lewis Iprasin.
This Lewis Iprasin is Yang Deshan.
To be honest, although the Brotherhood has occupied the Mobil Oilfield for half a month, Rebus has not had many opportunities to see Yang Deshan. There are only three times in total, and they have only met from a distance. Speaking of which, this is Rebus' first time.
A close encounter with Yang Deshan.
As an organization that has already become famous in Tunisia and Libya, there are of course various rumors about Yang Deshan in Tunisia and Libya. Some people say that the leader of the Brotherhood has sex with meat every day. If there is no cattle,
Sheep, they will take people to satisfy their hunger; some people say that the leader of the Brotherhood Alliance is as lustful as life, and as long as she is a woman under the rule of the Brotherhood Alliance, she will live under the lustful power of the leader of the Brotherhood Alliance every day, and she will be forced to go to bed every night.
wait.
Rebus used to be a little skeptical about these rumors, but now he basically doesn't believe them. The Brotherhood has controlled the Mobil Oilfield for so long, except for shooting Leslie and others to death when they first took over the Mobil Oilfield.
Indiscriminate killing of innocent people and the so-called cannibalism are simply standard rumors. Yang Deshan is not a murderous person. This can be inferred from the behavior of the soldiers of the Brotherhood Alliance. If there is a murderous leader, the soldiers of the Brotherhood Alliance will not behave themselves.
Even the personal property of Mobil oil field workers was not violated.
As for lust, that is even more of a rumor. At least when Rebus met Yang Deshan, there was never a woman around Yang Deshan. This is enough to prove that Yang Deshan's character may be far from the prophet who is honored by the members of the Brotherhood, but
It definitely can't be called lustful.
With this cognitive difference, when Rebus saw Yang Deshan again, he showed less fear and more curiosity.
Rebus was honored to meet him. Yang Deshan's voice was low and he did not wait for Rebus to respond, showing strong control.
Yang Deshan spoke in standard French, which is the official language of Tunisia, and Rebus was also very proficient in it, so there was no need for an interpreter between the two of them. Only Yang Deshan and Rebus were present.
The place where Yang Deshan and Rebus stayed was Leslie's original office. The decoration here used to be extremely luxurious, like a palace for nobles, but now it is extremely simple and simple. The contrast is quite obvious.
This also proves that the people from the Brotherhood Alliance are indeed retreating. Look at this office. Almost all the valuable things in it have been moved away, leaving only some simple tables and chairs, which are not even the original ones.
The original tables and chairs were all shipped away because they were made of precious wood. Rebus didn't know where they were taken.
How about it? During this time, you don’t have any good suggestions for the Brotherhood. Yang Deshan’s speech was not fast, and the pauses between each sentence were obvious. It just gave people the feeling that I hadn’t finished speaking, which made people unable to help themselves.
of waiting.
A very weird feeling.
No, what you have done is good enough, that is not something I can evaluate. Sitting on the sofa, Rebus felt a little on pins and needles. After thinking about it, he added: Anyway, thank you very much for your kindness. It is precisely because of your kindness.
Kindness, so workers burst out with real work ability, and they also get better income.
Whether Rebus wants to admit it or not, in the past half month, workers in the Mobil Oilfield have earned money that they could not earn in the past year. Many workers sincerely hope that the Mobil Oilfield will always be under the control of the Brotherhood.
Work for the League of Brothers.
In Rebus's view, this is a bad sign. Fortunately, the Brotherhood is finally leaving. If the Brotherhood stays here for a while, Rebus is really not sure what will happen here.
That's what they deserve. As long as we are under the rule of the Brotherhood Alliance, we are all brothers, and I will never mistreat my brothers. Yang Deshan is a brother when he speaks. He is not too enthusiastic, but it can make people feel that it comes from the heart.
of warmth.
Many thanks to Rebus for his smile.
What else can Rebus say? During the period when the Brothers Alliance managed the Mobil Oilfield, Rebus also made huge profits. As a manager, Rebus received more bonuses than anyone else. Even Rebus
I never thought that even if he was transferred back to the headquarters of Basel Petroleum Development Company, Rebus would not be able to earn the income he has now.
Rebus is a Frenchman who came to North Africa under the employment of the Basel Petroleum Development Company. If he said it was to realize his personal value, it would be hypocritical. The reason why Rebus came all the way here is to support his family, so of course the money is more important.
The more the better.
It is estimated that Rebus has not noticed it yet. Although Rebus feels humiliated by playing for the Brotherhood, Rebus still hopes that such days can last longer.
In that case, Rebus can earn higher income.
You know, I also have an oil field in Galyan, which is much larger than this, with much higher production and more income. Do you understand what I mean? Yang Deshan did not finish, leaving enough for Rebus.
imagination.
I don't quite understand. Rebus's heart was beating wildly, and he still had doubts.
Then let me make it clear that you have performed very well during this period. I need people like you, people who know how to get oil out of the ground. You should know that Galyan Oilfield has not yet been put into production, and there is not even a general manager Yang Deshan.
