Chapter 65: Speculation

Next, Li Guang's plan has a long-term vision.

The war in Europe was imminent, and Li Guang had a clear memory of the time when the war broke out in Europe, and Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 39.

Li Guang was very majestic in front of Yuan Ran's beautiful eyebrows this time. He ordered $10 million worth of goods in the United States in the form of a margin. The largest number of them were marine steel, as well as homogeneous armor of carburized steel of various thicknesses, and many boilers and engines, propellers, etc., necessary for a number of free wheels were also ordered. An order was also placed for a number of equipment needed for the manufacture of submarines.

This is an appalling order, not to mention domestic companies, but also companies here in Uruguay have never had such a large order. The total value of this list is equivalent to the annual revenue of the city of Montevideo.

For this order, Li Guang raised $1 million as a deposit. Li Guang has every reason to believe that this million-dollar deposit, just waiting for the start of the war, will definitely bring huge returns.

Another business move, which Li described as a strategic plan, was against the guano business group.

Is the lost guano business group really lost? Will Li Guang suffer so honestly?

The transfer of shares took place on May 20, just over three months after the German attack on Poland.

Li Guang's calculation is very clear, even if the guano business group starts to prepare to sell guano to Yueben, then it will be in June at the earliest. It is said that the mainland is much farther away from Nauru than Guangxi, and there are at most two business trips. What's more, with the existence of Pixiu, I don't know if I can do business, Li Guang is not worried about this.

Once the war broke out and the sale of guano from Nauru to Nauru, it was up to the British to agree, and Nauru was nominally a British colony. Li Guang doesn't mind doing this kind of thing once or twice.

Li Guangke didn't just set the goal of stopping the delivery of guano to the capital, how could Li Guang be so cheap Laplace?

The current shipyard has three senior managers, one is the director Arthur. The other is Rapanga Marie, and the most important thing is, of course, Yuan Ran's beautiful eyebrows.

Rapangamariel, a Jewish broker, has now been brought under Li Guang's command and has set up an investment company within the shipyard. Among them, Rapanga Mariel invested 300,000 US dollars, accounting for one-tenth of the shares.

Rapangamariel worked hard for decades and earned hundreds of thousands of dollars. Seeing Li Guang's wealth growing like a rocket, which one is envious and admired. He knew Li Guang's development footprint quite well, and as soon as Li Guang opened his mouth to invite, he immediately agreed.

Li Guang's investment company, if it is put into the future generations, will definitely be illegal fund-raising and illegal accumulation of savings. The business is very simple, and the monthly interest rate is two cents to absorb the investment. The three-month cycle is a three-month cycle, and the principal and interest will be repaid immediately at that time.

What is the most valuable? Fame, that is, brand. Now Li Guang's shipyard has become very famous, with more than 2,000 workers and millions of assets, and the wages of workers in the factory are also higher than those of surrounding enterprises. It's all fame, it's a brand, it's an intangible asset.

With tangible and intangible assets guaranteed, this investment company immediately attracted countless eyes as soon as it opened. First the shipyard workers invested internally, and then the wind spread throughout the city of Montevideo.

In the first month, it attracted less than 200,000 US dollars in investment, in the second month, it attracted more than 1 million US dollars, and in the third month, it had attracted 3 million US dollars. That's even more than a medium-sized bank in Uruguay.

Along with the illegal fundraising is a rumor. Since May, there have been rumors in the community that the financial giant Laplace's Laplace Bank is in deficit and has a bad turnover.

As time went on, it was now rumored that a freighter of Laplace's guano business group had been sunk by the Japanese army.

Of course, Li Guang will not admit that these rumors were spread by himself. As for who spread it, Captain Alfred has been more likely to find people to drink and chat with lately. He knew Li Guang's shipyard well, and he also came up with empirical evidence -- in the past, the guano business group would launch three to four ships every month, but now only one ship has been launched, and I heard that there will not be even one next month.

With these two or three million US dollars, Li Guang invested all of them in the US crude oil market at once. The pattern of oil production in the world today is completely different from that of later generations. Although oil production is already in many parts of the Middle East, the United States now ranks first in the world in oil production, accounting for more than half of the total. As long as the war starts, there is no doubt that the price of oil will rise in the price of a commercial country like the Americans.

There are no futures for marine steel, but there are futures for crude oil, and Li Guang gambled to invest two or three million US dollars, and the power of financial leverage is not inferior to 20 million US dollars in the spot market.

Li Guang knew that a world war would break out soon, but he was not sure how the oil would be in turmoil. This investment has also been researched in many ways, and even Rapangamaliel gave a war hypothesis as a subject to the famous Goldman Sachs company in the United States for research. Li Guang had heard of Goldman Sachs in later life, but he did not expect that he would now have business contacts with this company.

After arranging everything, Li Guang felt that he had nothing to do in Uruguay, except for a limited number of tasks that Li Guang needed to take ideas, everything else was done in an orderly manner by Yuan Ran and Director Arthur. For a certain period of time, Li Guang felt that he had no other role than pretending to appear at a drinking party in Uruguay.

Li Guang is now nominally a businessman, so naturally he will appear in public more often. For the time being, I can't ask him to grab the handle.

It would be wrong to say that Li Guang was completely useless, at least Yuan Ran, who had recently coaxed him, smiled with beautiful eyebrows. But Li Guang is so bitter in his heart, looking at the beauty, he just doesn't dare to do it, it's just a beast.

Li Guang's depression is justified, his career has been going well recently, and the Pixiu has also achieved brilliant results, but the relationship is still swaying back and forth between Su Zizi and Yuan Ran. Now Li Guang is reluctant to give up any of them.

This makes Li Guang even more painful, will the little brother who has not been used for more than two years be scrapped? This is a problem.

At the beginning of August, Li Guang took a small invention and flew to Shixiang Island by plane. This little invention was sulfur soap, and since the last time in the submarine, the officers and men of the army have been unspeakably hidden. Although Li Guang later solved a large part of the problem with prickly heat powder, there was no way to eradicate it. When he heard the report of the fishing industry on Statue Island, there was an unknown big fat fish around Stone Statue Island, which was large in quantity, but the taste was very problematic. However, the only advantage is that there is a lot of oil. This reminded Li Guang that there is oil to produce sulfur soap. It is equivalent to finding a good business for the people on the island again.
