In mid-January, Li Guang left Guangxi and sailed three ships from the South China Sea to Nauru.

Li Guang didn't know anything about Nauru at this time, but it was enough to know that there was guano on the island. Li Guang has two ideas for obtaining guano. The first is to buy, and the second is very direct and violent - robbing.

At the end of January, after the three ships arrived in Nauru, Li Guang figured out what the situation in Nauru was. In 1798, British ships sailed here for the first time; In 1888, it became a colony of the German Empire; In November 1914, the British hired Australian troops to occupy the island; In 1919, the League of Nations placed the island under the confederation of Australia, Great Britain and New Zealand.

Now there are a few British people on the island who run a fertilizer factory, but the business is not very good. At this time, shipping was too expensive to transport fertilizer from the center of the Pacific Ocean to the United Kingdom or Australia, but the surrounding island nations did not use guano at all.

And there is a more important reason, there is no shortage of food in Europe now, so guano is not a seller.

Although the British Empire has begun to decline, no one can deny that it is still the world's largest power on the surface. The United States really secured the first place in World War II at the end of World War II.

This behemoth is not something Li Guang can offend, and of course he can't afford to offend. Now Li Guang has money, and after simple business negotiations, he paid 10,000 pounds, and Li Guang got the mine. And a few Englishmen happily walked away with 10,000 pounds.

In fact, it doesn't matter if Li Guang mines directly, no one cares about it at all, and a few Britons are not representatives of British political axes, but just businessmen. It is simply impossible for the British to send troops to protect this poor mineral mining right. Of course, the premise is that Li Guang cannot occupy this place militarily, and if it is occupied, then the surname will be completely changed, and it is a face of the British political axe. Li Guang's weak strength simply could not carry a little finger of the world's largest British Navy.

Li Guang was very realistic, so he reluctantly paid for the purchase of this mine, a picture is fast, after all, the British built a wharf and conveyor belts to facilitate loading. And there are also some miscellaneous equipment that can also be used.

Second, as long as the British are gone, Li Guang will be able to have more room to work.

Wait for Li Guang's freighter to be loaded with guano. The island of Nauru has been turned upside down, and a group of pirates have appeared on the island.

After their personal safety was threatened, the Nauruans were forced to cooperate with the Chinese who mined guano, in which the Nauruans contributed to the production of guano and Chinese merchants provided security and food.

Naturally, the pirates were dressed up by Junjiro Koizumi with more than a dozen of them. And the Chinese businessman is naturally Li Guang. Li Guang promoted a few wounded soldiers to company platoon commanders, leaving 50 Guangxi soldiers here to be in charge of mining, and then began his journey around the world non-stop.

Li Guang was not distressed about the giant ship that was robbed, and directly appointed Huang Zhonghua as the captain, and allocated a hundred soldiers as the crew, including more than ten little devils as technical guidance. In this way, Li Guang's ocean-going fleet was officially established. As for the little devil who is disobedient, what to do?

The Gui troops suffered heavy casualties on the battlefield in Shanghai, and hatred had long been filled in their chests, and without Huang Zhonghua's order, they could immediately tear the dishonest devil to pieces.

The pickup made a detour to Spain, delivered torpedoes to Rameau, and again got two scrapped 88mm anti-aircraft guns. Ramo is very interesting, the two cannons he got this time can be loaded directly on the ship without repair. Li Guang hated the old 75mm guns on the Sakura and Harada, and with the help of Rameau, he spent 30,000 US dollars to purchase six German-made 75mm infantry guns and 500 guns of various kinds. Of course, these things are all obtained in the name of scrap.

It seems that Ramo is doing very well, and his position in the rebels is becoming more and more secure, and his power has increased. The higher Ramo's status, the more beneficial it will be for Li Guang. Regardless of the fact that Spain was still at war, Li Guang knew very well that although Spain sided with Hitler in World War II, it did not actually participate in the war.

Once the European war began, Ramo was an excellent channel to get in touch with the Germans. However, Li Guang still has too few chips in his hands, and it is difficult to gain any benefits from Germany. Since becoming the leader of a small group, Li Guang has paid more and more attention to planning and layout. As the saying goes, people are light-hearted without pressure, and now that Li Guang is working hard alone, under pressure, it is naturally a bit of foresight.

On 15 February, the pickup returned to Uruguay.

At this time, the factory had changed greatly, and Director Arthur immediately expanded the scale of the shipyard after learning that Li Guang had earned another seven or eight hundred thousand dollars. A 10,000-ton dry dock has been excavated.

Captain Alfred has been having a very bad time lately, and he even suspects that he has fallen for Li Guang. In the more than three months since Li Guang left, Alfred added two new ships, both built by Li Guang's shipyard. But when he found that although the freight industry was booming, his three ships could not run at full capacity for a while. Alfred was almost out of breath at the bank's interest.

When Li Guangyi returned, Alfred almost burst into tears, as if he had seen a savior. Now Alfred was staring at a bunch of unknown things in a daze.

This pile of strange things made Alfred dizzy, and he couldn't figure out what Li Guang was doing with this unknown thing.

Li Guangdao: "Take it to test the phosphate content, and there will be agricultural experts to explain it to you." ”

Two days later, Alfred became doping and ran to find Li Guang. The test results came back and the guano was rich in phosphate, which can be added directly to the field as fertilizer.

According to experts' speculation, as long as 50 pounds of fertilizer per acre can ensure that the field will not lack phosphate fertilizer within three years. It could increase food production by at least 20 percent. (Note, the grain yield in this era was very low, far from the yield per mu in later generations.) If each mu of land can be increased by forty or fifty catties, the yield can be increased by 20 percent. ）

Li Guang understood Alfred's excitement, and he had a page of business plans on his desk. Yuan Ran is logical and clear, although he has learned law, he is not bad at doing business copywriting.

According to the most conservative estimates, it would take two months for a 4,000-ton dry bulk carrier to make a trip from Nauru to China, and excluding the cost of about $10,000, there would still be a net profit of $10,000. In other words, Alfred will be able to recoup his investment in the vessel in just over a year.

It's not a huge business, but the advantage is that the volume can be unlimited. The rate of making money can increase exponentially, and the prospects are very attractive.

And with the increase of ships, it can also be transported directly to Uruguay and Argentina across the river from Uruguay. The market is huge and can hardly ever be saturated.

Money is the biggest driving force for social progress. This sentence is not false at all, and on the same day, this guano business group was established by Alfred and Li Guang. (With the main product, the shipping company of the two was changed to this guano business group.) ）

The next day Alfred set sail with three freighters.

And Li Guang's shipyard has also begun to work non-stop day and night, do you have money to make and worry about the bank not being able to get a loan?

The pickup, which had been resting for half a month, went to sea again to carry out a great robbery business. This time, Li Guang did not lead the team, and Zheng Xuechang served as the captain. Su Qing's position was changed and he no longer managed the ship's weapons. Instead, he became the captain of the Marine Corps.

The pickup is now considered to be combat-effective, and dozens of crew members have left the rookie level after three or four months of fighting and sailing, and the sharp edge in their eyes has already shown signs of elite.

This time, in addition to a hundred crew members, there were also sixty marines on board. Well-staffed, not as embarrassed as last time.

There is a special person who travels with the pickup number - the big beauty Yuan Ran. Now Li Guangdu is a little inseparable from this beauty. Yuan Ran is very capable, handles many things in the factory in an orderly manner, and is a rare good helper.

And another big beauty, Li Guang, was itching in her heart, but she never had a chance. This time, Su Zizi's umbrella Su Qing went to sea, and Yuan Ran, a chili beauty, also went out on business, Li Guang felt that he had a chance? Su Zizi is completely different from Yuan Ran, delicate as flower petals, beautiful and gentle.

Such a girl, every time Li Guang sees it, he can't wait to embrace it. But Su Zizi didn't give her a chance at all, making Li Guangqi go up and down.

Yuan Ran volunteered this time, she was going to Chile to discuss business. Since Li Guang found out that it was inconvenient to rob in the South Pacific without a base, he branded the idea of Robinson Island and Easter Island. Now Yuan Ran is going to talk about the lease or purchase of the two islands, in short, he must have the legal right to use.
