Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 113 The goal of five thousand ounces?
A successful gold laundering made Chen Ruobai's team extremely excited and excited. This time, they gained a lot and laid an extremely solid foundation for the new gold rush season.

Now there is no need to mobilize, because enough gains have greatly mobilized everyone's enthusiasm.As long as more gold can be panned here, as long as everyone can earn more money, then there is a reason to work hard.

Chen Ruobai didn't delay too much, and everything about the mine was arranged, and everyone was familiar with the daily work process.Even if Chen Ruobai is not in charge now, it doesn't really matter much, things in the mine will definitely go smoothly.

Chen Ruobai did not have any adventures along the way, and smoothly handed over 37 ounces of gold to the Bureau of Mining. What was actually converted into a check was 34 US dollars. This is the money that Chen Ruobai and his team can share.

It hurts to think about it, that was nearly fifty thousand dollars, so Chen Ruobai and others scolded the Mining Bureau again.After a while, I might scold the IRS, because I always feel that those government agencies have taken their money.

It's just that there is nothing you can do about it. If you don't want to be revoked mining rights, or don't want to go to jail, then be honest.

The others still wanted to go back to the mine, but Chen Ruobai rushed to Anchorage happily with Da Zhuang.

Back at the villa, Chen Ruobai was immediately happy, "It's not a life in the mine, it's more comfortable to come back!"

Chen Ruobai, who was talking to himself, didn't care that his car was too dirty to look at, and he didn't care that his image was rather sloppy, which seemed a bit out of place with this villa.He spent money, so naturally he didn't have to worry about it.

Da Zhuang is running around happily, this fat dog also needs a good wash.

After taking a bath and changing into comfortable home clothes, Chen Ruobai immediately began to study, "I have to reward myself, I'm tired of eating barbecue and hamburgers every day. When I come back, I have to eat a seafood feast, and then buy some food and cook it myself Order some food."

Chen Ruobai, who was comfortably slumped on the sofa, was also listening to the phone and leaving messages, basically having nothing to do.Really, anyone who has serious business will make a satellite phone call. Now most of the phone calls at home are sales calls.

Suddenly a message made Chen Ruobai serious. This is Morgan whom he met in the bar earlier.

"Robert, we have started a new gold rush season. According to our tradition, we will open a gamble. Each person invests two hundred dollars. At the end of the gold rush season, whoever has the most harvest can win all the money."

"If you are interested, you can contact me or Mr. Dawson, and now five teams have joined the gamble."

It is also very common to have some innocuous small games.Gold diggers will have such a gamble, and sometimes fishermen will also have a small gamble, which is normal.

Chen Ruobai picked up the phone and called Dawson, "Mr. Tutor, is it too late for me to join the gold rush team in Anchorage?"

Dawson immediately smiled and said, "Of course, you are now the seventh team to apply to join, two hundred dollars. Our prize pool is about to reach seventeen hundred dollars, and the answer will be revealed at the end of the gold rush season, and the winner is responsible The drink bill."

Chen Ruobai was not surprised either, this kind of gambling is like this, the bonus is basically used up by eating and drinking.

Everyone is a scene person. Although there were some unpleasant things last year, everyone tacitly did not mention these things.Superficial jobs are still available, as if we are still good friends.

It's actually quite understandable to do so, everyone is in the gold rush circle, as long as it's not a particularly big grievance, everyone pretends not to mention it.Maybe at some point in the future, the other party will need more resources. This can be regarded as fighting without breaking.

Dawson also seemed to be idle, and asked curiously, "You have already entered the mine, right? I heard that you made a lot of noise in Fairbanks. Your team is one of the first teams to start the gold rush season." one."

This is also true, Chen Ruobai's team is indeed one of the first teams to start the gold rush season.

As for Dawson's current residence in Anchorage, this veteran gold prospector also has some contacts in Fairbanks.

This is the case with gold diggers. Although there are some fixed areas of activity, they are generally concentrated in some mining areas.There is indeed a lot of gold in Alaska, and it's not that everyone is running around. Gold diggers appear more frequently in some popular areas.

"That was a bad decision!" Chen Ruobai immediately began to complain, with a look of regret, "When I entered the mine, the snow had not melted, and the road was even more difficult. Many of my supplies were not delivered in time. It’s a painful memory.”

Dawson looked understandable, he has experienced these things, "Every gold digger will encounter this, this is your first full gold rush season. Going through these things will make him better able to deal with it." These things."

This is also a fact, Chen Ruobai performed well in last year's gold rush season, but many people don't think it was a complete gold rush season.But now it is different, this is the complete gold rush season, Chen Ruobai will participate in it from beginning to end.

"I have indeed improved my experience, and I also realized some shortcomings." Chen Ruobai joked with a smile, "I have experience, but I should have discussed it with you, so as to avoid low-level mistakes."

Dawson said with a smile, "I happen to be free now, we can go to the bar and have a sit."

Being idle is also idle, Chen Ruobai decided that it is still possible to get together with Dawson.It's sad just thinking about it, I finally ran out of the mine, and I was drinking with an old man in a bar.

This is not in line with Chen Ruobai's personality, he is a successful young man with a lot of money, and an upstart with no background.After he makes money, he should be rich and extravagant. How can he be busy with various things all the time?

Although he was complaining to himself, Chen Ruobai was still busy preparing to go out, and he could wait to enjoy life.

Just when Chen Ruobai had finished changing his clothes, the phone rang again, and Chen Ruobai immediately laughed when he saw the number.

Picking up the phone, Chen Ruobai said bluntly, "Abby, I just came back, why are you calling me in such a hurry?"

"Javier is not at home now, this is your chance!" Abigail, a sturdy woman, said rudely, "I knew this was your plan, you moved to Anchorage with us, you Deliberately leaving my boyfriend in the mine. Come on, this is your chance, a good chance you created!"

Chen Ruobai was defeated, so he could only say angrily, "I see, what's the matter with you?"

"I need money!" Abigail said more bluntly, "You have laundered the mines, and we can get a check. Robert, we have no deposits now, and I need to prepare more money."

"Understood, I will send the check later." Chen Ruobai laughed and joked, "You must have some big plans, I don't believe you spent last year's income, you must still have a lot of savings."

Alaska's prices are generally more expensive than other places in the United States, and the cost of living ranks fifth in the United States.

According to some statistics, Alaska's per capita GDP has just reached [-] US dollars, ranking seventh in the United States.Regardless of the size of the house, the average price is almost [-].

It's just that all of these are "per capita", and there are too many far exceeding the average.According to statistics in the past few years, households with million-dollar assets in Alaska accounted for nearly [-]% of the total, which is the fifth highest level in the United States.

Moreover, the economy here is mainly oil and gas, and these pillar industries even account for more than half of the state's economic output.

Only a small number of people hold a lot of wealth, so the economic status of many people is far below the average.For example, Chen Ruobai and others in the past, these lower-level people can only look at the average line with envious eyes.

Driving his dirty car straight to Hanks' bar, Chen Ruobai also saw Dawson's old Porsche.

Pushing the door open and entering, Chen Ruobai greeted Dawson with a smile, the two still looked like they had forgotten their friendship.

Handing over two hundred dollars of betting money to Dawson can be regarded as a complete completion of the previously set bet.Chen Ruobai felt that he was definitely qualified to be the final winner, and he was full of confidence and expectation for this year's gold rush season.

Dawson looked at Chen Ruobai with a smile, and asked, "How is the situation this year?"

"I just washed the ore once, and the results are very good." Chen Ruobai said proudly, "[-] ounces, I found a rich ore. My goal this year is [-] ounces, and we can work there for a long time!"

Chen Ruobai's words were half-truths and half-false. There was no need to conceal his ore washing situation. Those gold diggers in Fairbanks would soon know the news, and Dawson would be able to find out after a little inquiring, so there was no need to conceal it.

It's just that this year's goal is obviously not just [-] ounces. Chen Ruobai's goal is far beyond this figure.

Dawson couldn't help shaking his hand holding the wine glass, three hundred ounces, the gold rush season has just begun, and many gold prospectors have just found the mine and completed the preliminary construction of the mine, and Chen Ruobai has already Bring back three hundred ounces of gold!

"No wonder you will participate in this gamble, you will win." Dawson said immediately, "You have found a rich mine, and you will be rich! Boy, I believe that your goal will definitely not be just fifteen hundred ounces, you will be there Five thousand ounces for a bonanza!"

Chen Ruobai replied with a smile, "Five thousand ounces? It's a pity that my rich mine can't last that long, there won't be five thousand ounces there."

Dawson still smiled and clinked glasses with Chen Ruobai, and said sincerely, "In the years when I was the most profitable, even when my mine had the most gold, I couldn't earn [-] ounces of gold in one gold rush season. Boy , you have a chance to achieve this goal!"

Chen Ruobai smiled and said nothing, five thousand ounces, that's not Chen Ruobai's goal!
