Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 102
Chen Ruobai started crazy big purchases, such as fuel, supplies, etc. These are naturally the most basic.These most basic things must not be missing, including not only the parts brought back from Seattle, but also some small, fragmented tools and so on.

When Chen Ruobai was busy, a young man ran up to Chen Ruobai, "Robert, can you give me a job?"

Chen Ruobai looked at the young man in front of him, feeling a bit unfamiliar, "You know me?"

The young man hurriedly introduced himself, "I am Sean Marshall, from Texas. I am an excellent gold digger. I have worked here for two seasons of gold panning, and I am able to adapt to various jobs in the mine."

"My team is full, I'm sorry." Chen Ruobai refused without thinking, "Which team do you work in?"

Marshall has not given up yet, and continued, "You can give me a very low share, and I will use my performance to prove that I am worthy of the salary."

"I'm really sorry, my team is full." Chen Ruobai emphasized again, also feeling curious, "You don't look like an adult yet, but you have worked here for two gold rush seasons?"

Don't look at the fact that the United States always talks about child labor in other countries, but there are also many child labor in this country.Some children who have not finished high school will also come out to find a job, or just wander the streets.

Marshall was disappointed, but said, "I'm ready to join the army. It's not surprising to work here for two gold digging seasons. Robert, you can consider me. I'm really a good gold digger."

Chen Ruobai just left Marshall's number, which can be regarded as a perfunctory way. The so-called practice in the future when there is a job is just a rhetoric. Chen Ruobai really did not intend to recruit Marshall.

It's not surprising that Chen Ruobai thinks this way, the main reason is that panning for gold is special, Chen Ruobai needs someone he can trust, not just someone.

However, Chen Ruobai was not surprised that Marshall came to Alaska because he was dissatisfied.Although the gold rush in recent years is not as good as before, there are still many people who come to Alaska with the dream of getting rich overnight.

Marshall is one, and Chen Ruobai is even one. There are many people who have the same dream as them.As long as there is gold in Alaska, as long as the Alaska gold rush myth continues, it will attract many people.

As for Chen Ruobai, although it was only a successful gold rush season, he already had some fame in Fairbanks.

Gold diggers are also very realistic. They may have their own team, but they work in the wilderness to make money.

If you encounter some excellent teams poaching corners, or the original team fails to find enough gold, personnel turnover will also be common.This is the case with Marshall now, and it was the same with Roy before.

After sending Marshall away, Chen Ruobai was thinking.Because Abigail doesn't plan to go to the mine anymore, Chen Ruobai is planning to recruit someone in charge of logistics.And three operators and one maintenance technician seem to be enough, but this is enough.

It is necessary to consider recruiting a firefighter, which is actually a handyman, who can help wherever it is needed.

You can't just think about mechanical equipment, but also need to further improve the team configuration so that you can work efficiently.

Chen Ruobai's market seems to have improved a lot. With outstanding achievements, he has the right to speak and get more recognition and respect.

I also carefully asked Devi for their opinions. After all, working in the mine will take a long time, and the tacit understanding of the team is very important.It is obviously more important for the members to get along well with each other.

Chen Ruobai, who returned to Este, drove straight to a house on the side of the road without any hesitation.

Knocking on the door, Chen Ruobai shouted loudly, "John, are you at home?"

"Who?" A hoarse voice came from the room, a little wary, "John is not at home, he is at the timber factory."

Chen Ruobai immediately reported his family name and said, "Mrs. Lawrence, I am Robert Chen."

This time it was all right, Gina Lawrence took off the anti-theft chain, and immediately babbled, "Didn't you move to Anchorage, why did you come back again? It's great here, you shouldn't leave here. You young Everyone has ideas, as long as they make money, they will leave here.”

Chen Ruobai smiled and said, "I'm only here for work. Although this place is good, I've never been the kind of person who can settle down. You all know this, otherwise I wouldn't have come to this town."

While Chen Ruobai was talking, a boy in his teens ran over, "Robert, is Anchorage interesting? I saw your INS, and the feeling of living in a big villa must be great!"

"If you go to Anchorage, I will definitely entertain you." Chen Ruobai said with a smile, "We are neighbors, and I am always willing to share."

It can't be said about flaunting wealth, of course someone wants to say that, Chen Ruobai can only admit it.He did share some photos on social media such as INS and Facebook, some seemingly affluent life fragments.

When Mrs. Lawrence was pouring coffee, Chen Ruobai also said straight to the point, "I just want to invite John to work for me when I come back this trip. But you also know that the work in the mine is very special, and he can only come back one day a week at most. Javier and the others all trust John, and I also appreciate that hardworking kid."

John Lawrence was Chen Ruobai's target, and he was indeed a very good choice.

It's not just black people who have "finding fathers", in fact, other races are the same, at most, the probability is not as high as that of black people.

About 18 years ago, John Lawrence's unknown father disappeared after successfully sowing.It's just that his mother didn't seem to have learned the lesson, and had a good time with a lumberjack in another place ten years ago.

So John Lawrence is now living with his half-brother Jose Lawrence at their grandmother's house, since their mother also disappeared a few years ago.No one knows where she went to be free and easy, or curled up in an abandoned unfinished building.

Mrs. Lawrence looked at Chen Ruobai and asked seriously, "How much salary will you give him?"

"A weekly salary of US$750, if we find gold, he may also get a bonus." Chen Ruobai said, "He can't operate the machine now, so I can only arrange for him to do some handyman."

This salary is indeed not low. In a place like Alaska, this salary is definitely justified.After all, Chen Ruobai's work may not be so high-end, and this kind of treatment is not even worse than that of ordinary white-collar workers.

At most, it is not that decent, and a little tired, and not particularly stable.

Mrs. Lawrence immediately said, "He will definitely agree to your invitation. When are you going to start panning for gold in the mountains?"

"A week later, I will leave his number." Chen Ruobai said with a smile, "Let him tell me the result earlier, it is best to have the answer today. If he refuses, I can invite other people."

Chen Ruobai felt that there was nothing wrong with giving a job to someone who still knew the basics.But this does not mean that he has no other options, or that he will accept some relatively high conditions.

Mrs. Lawrence said quickly, "He will definitely work hard. I know my child. He has always worked hard."

"That's why everyone is recommending John. I know he is a diligent young man." Chen Ruobai said with a smile, "He is still very young. If he exercises more in my mine, he can learn some skills and Make more money."

Forget about technology or something, at most it is learning to drive an excavator and the like.But for the Lawrence family, they have no right to pick and choose. The family is now living on some relief funds and John Lawrence's meager salary, and almost every expense needs careful planning.

After contacting the handyman, Chen Ruobai set off again and knocked on the door of Paul Drake's house directly, "Paul, go to work in my mine and do a good job in logistics support. The weekly salary is 750 US dollars, maybe you can get it Some bonus."

The fat man Drake smiled honestly, "My figure is suitable for working in the mine?"

"So you're just in charge of logistics, and I've taken a fancy to your cooking skills." Chen Ruobai joked half-truthfully, "And you're very courageous, and your strength is even better, no one will reject you."

Drake, a fat man who is less than 1.8 meters tall but weighs [-] catties, does have some skills. Being able to eat is one thing, but the main thing is to be able to cook. His high-calorie food is indeed suitable for those who are physically strong in the mine. miners.

Although Drake can barely run, and he can't climb to a higher place, it's just that he doesn't need to do those things in the mine.If he usually chops firewood and carries an iron frame, Drake can definitely become the main force.

"I'll have to talk to my family, but they'll be happy." Drake said, plopping down on the couch. work."

In fact, Drake has no more choices. It is difficult to find a relatively high-paying job in a small place. In many cases, there are even no job opportunities at all.

Chen Ruobai is still very happy, his recruitment has been relatively smooth, and the current situation is naturally because Chen Ruobai can provide a job with a decent income.

The reason why everyone had no doubt about Chen Ruobai's ability was because of Chen Ruobai's great success in the gold rush season last year, all of which made it easier for Chen Ruobai to recruit troops.

Now there are quite a few people who want to work for Chen Ruobai, and everyone hopes to be able to catch up with this potential stock and take off together.
