Li Guang wandered around the empty courtyard for more than an hour, but he didn't even meet a person. Judging by the structure and facilities of the building, this is a shipyard or repair shop.

The structure of the building is somewhat European-style, but the facilities are outdated and I can't tell what age it is, and the only thing that feels a little modern is that there are electric lights in the factory.

The factory has been apparently idle for a long time, and there are two open docks facing the Río de la Plata, one of which is a dry dock, and the rails at the bottom of the dock are rusty and obviously not used for a long time. And the crane above the dock, although it is a steel structure, turned out to be several chain hoists. Li Guang is a little strange, shipbuilding is a real heavy industry, can it be done by relying on chain hoists?

Until this time, Li Guang did not understand what era he was in. Needless to say, the location is Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, and the large river outside the dock is clearly the Río de la Plata.

After a long time, Li Guang finally met his life-saving benefactor. This is a European, unkempt, unkempt, shabby and greasy overalls, and he looks very sloppy.

Sergio Rameau, 51 years old, a Spaniard, was in World War I when his family's merchant ship was sunk by Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare. Rameau survived, and after the war, he took his share of the family property to Uruguay and opened the shipyard.

But Sergio. Ramo was clearly not a good manager, and as a result, things worsened, and now the factory is no longer viable. Sergio. Rameau is already planning to sell the property back to Spain.

This is a situation that Li Guang has only been able to figure out after many days of hard work. There is no way, Li Guang does not know Spanish, like most university graduates in China, he only understands some English. Rameau only knew a little English, so it was difficult to communicate.

However, although Ramo was poor, he did not drive Li Guang away because of this, and Li Guang, who was unaccompanied, lived here.

Li Guang can't stop it, he doesn't even have a dollar in hand. In Uruguay, there are no ships to China, let alone planes.

If you want to get from Uruguay to China, you usually go to the United States or Europe first, and then take a boat to Shanghai, China.

It is simply impossible for a penniless person like Li Guang to make such a long trip. As a matter of urgency, Li Guang must get some money.

Uruguay is known as the Switzerland of South America, and the scenery and climate are not ordinary, but after Li Guang figured out the era in which he lived, it was difficult to feel at ease.

It was January 1937, on the eve of the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War. Back in this era, if he can't do his part for the country and the nation, Li Guang will find it difficult to feel at ease.

Li Guang is also a small angry youth, and he has also taken to the streets to boycott the Diaoyu Islands dispute. I also killed Xiao Yuben and stepped on Tokyo. Anyway, the fantasies that ordinary young people have had, he has fantasized.

But now Li Guang is trapped in this small South American country, which is like a tiger falling into Pingyang. It's troublesome enough to eat for nothing here in Ramo, and Li Guang still can't talk about such a thing as Ramo's exit fee. In his spare time, Li Guang began to take the initiative to help Ramo do some work.

A few days later, Li Guang finally figured out why Ramo was about to go bankrupt. Rameau remembered that a German submarine had torpedoed and sunk his merchant ship, and he was working on it. For a decade or two, Rameau spent almost all his energy and money on the development of torpedoes.

Li Guang had only heard of torpedoes, but he had never seen them. After the two got acquainted with each other a little, Ramo saw that Li Guang had a considerable level of both machinery and electrical appliances, and gradually did not hide anything from Li Guang, and invited him to visit his reserve and small workshop.

Li Guang was stunned by this warehouse, and did not expect that next to the humble workshop, there were hundreds of torpedoes piled up in a warehouse, including old-fashioned steam torpedoes, new-type electric mines, and oil-fired torpedoes. The small ones are just over a meter long, while the large ones are four or five meters long.

According to Ramo's own boasting, he has torpedoes of all kinds here, and they are all designed by him. Li Guang was very suspicious, he had never heard of such an arms master in Spain.

Later, Li Guang learned that Ramo was indeed a torpedo expert, although he was not an outstanding expert, but he was also very skilled in the study of torpedoes. Slowly, Li Guang also knew about Ramo's predicament.

To say that Ramo is a person, he does belong to his ancestors. The Spaniards, knowing a little bit of history, can know where the wealth comes from, the Age of Discovery, the little Spain plundered half the world's wealth. Although Rameau's family is not a seafaring pirate, it has a lot of connections. According to his boast, his ancestors also sold red-coated cannons to the Qing Kingdom.

The arms business in the Age of Discovery allowed the Rameau family to accumulate a huge fortune. But the good times came to an end in the First World War, and due to the lack of attention to research and development, the Rameau family's arms business did not make any money in the world war, and because the merchant ship was hit by a German torpedo, the family's fortunes plummeted.

But Rameau was bombed from a merchant ship and saw a business opportunity. He keenly foresaw that in the future, torpedoes would be a weapon of great use in the ocean. So he concentrated his efforts and began to develop torpedoes with the limited money at hand.

More than ten years of research and development have drained the last bit of Lamo's assets. And the world peace of one or two decades, (not peace, in fact, but no naval wars.) Rameau's products can't be sold, so much so that he is now impoverished and has defaulted on nearly $100,000 in bank loans.

And now, Rameau has found a business opportunity. His homeland, Spain, began a civil war. Spain, a maritime country, is stuck in the Strait of Gibraltar, and it would be strange if there was no naval battle in the Great War. Ramo saw the business opportunity from then on, and he wanted to make a fortune without any psychological barriers.

There is a conundrum in front of Rameau, money. If he could not pay off the 100,000 dollars in the bank in time, not only would the factory be liquidated by the bank, but also the hundreds of torpedoes he had in stock would not be able to sell. According to Rameau's estimate, the torpedoes alone were worth more than half a million dollars.

But this thing can't become money for a while, and if it can't become money, it will be difficult for Ramo to leave Uruguay (the court forbade Ramo to leave Uruguay), and it will not be able to make money without Uruguay. It's an endless loop.

Li Guang now has a preliminary concept, and money in this era is really valuable. The Ramau factory covers an area of 300 acres, and it has a small island dozens of nautical miles away from the factory. And it's all worth just $200,000.

To put it simply, Ramo is now planning to sell the assets and then pull the torpedo back to Spain. However, it seems that there are not many businessmen willing to take over the shipyard now.

After learning all this, Li Guang's head began to run rapidly. When he first arrived in this era, he also needed a foundation to settle down and live. And this shipyard is a very good opportunity.
