Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 118 The Shrewd Gold Sucking Captain

Not being able to scare Chen Ruobai, Vivian was not too disappointed.At the beginning, she reported unrealistic conditions, that is, she wanted to deceive others, but she had heard some things, and knew that this year was Chen Ruobai's second gold rush season.

The most important thing is that Chen Ruobai is a miner panning for gold in the mountains, and he doesn't know anything about absorbing gold in the Bering Sea.

Since Chen Ruobai was not taken advantage of, Vivienne continued, "Then I need a rent of 15 US dollars, and I don't trust my boat to be steered by someone else. I will be the captain, and you have to pay me for the completion of the gold rush season. I can Accept the price of $[-], and you will pay me a share of the profits."

Chen Ruobai laughed angrily, and said, "If you can rent out the boat under your conditions, I will immediately switch to chartering. With a minimum income of 20 US dollars, I only need to work for less than four months. This salary is too impressive. Excited."

Vivienne said as a matter of course, "If you rent my boat, you can get 200 million or 500 million yuan in the Bering Sea, so those benefits are not high for me."

Chen Ruobai lost interest, so he said, "Then there's no need for us to continue chatting, you can try to find an idiot who is willing to rent a boat, or try to attract money yourself, you don't have to give up 20 million for 500."

Chen Ruobai naturally understood the truth of asking prices all over the sky to pay back the money, and he didn't think there was any problem with it.

It's just that even if it's asking a price, it needs to show some sincerity, instead of the lion opening his mouth and thinking about deceiving people.

For these outrageous offers, Chen Ruobai really felt that there was no need to continue the conversation, so he might as well not talk at all, this would save him some time, it was not that Chen Ruobai had no room for choice.

Vivienne has not given up yet, and continued to say, "I started to suck money at a very young age. I was less than 16 years old when I first boarded a gold boat. I have been working in this field for 20 years, and I know where there is money. Find the gold."

"Dawson may not have made it clear to you now, I just need a gold-absorbing boat and a captain who obeys my command." Chen Ruobai said bluntly, "So those areas you know are not attractive to me, you You can build your own team and you can bring gold ashore in those places.”

Chen Ruobai's attitude naturally made Vivian a little unhappy, she felt that Chen Ruobai was very dishonest.As for whether the conditions offered by him are too much, then don't care, just keep an eye on Chen Ruobai's attitude.

The impatient Chen Ruobai was perfunctorily chatting with Vivienne, and he felt more and more that if Dawson introduced such a thing, then there was really no reason to waste time, and he could go and investigate by himself. Or find some brokers, that's more conducive to finding a satisfactory ship and suitable team members.

At this moment, Dawson walked into the bar with a short yellow-skinned old man in his arms.

The aborigines in Alaska are also generally of yellow race, so Chen Ruobai didn't think there was anything strange about it.

Dawson seemed a little surprised, but he still smiled, "Ms. Bill is already here? That's great, I don't need an introduction, you are half an hour earlier than our agreed time."

Vivienne didn't seem to be able to hear Dawson's dissatisfaction, with a cheerful and honest look, "I just want to drink, I can't wait. I have been repairing my gold suction boat these days, and I changed a lot of equipment. I haven't been to the bar for half a month."

"Harris Toby," Dawson began. "He's not an aborigine on a reservation."

Chen Ruobai can probably understand that the aborigines also have many distinctions. In addition to some so-called reservations, some Native Americans have left the reservations and have more ties with society.

Toby patted Chen Ruobai on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "I heard about your performance last night, you did a good job! Those bastards need to be taught with fists. I once pulled the trigger near a bastard's ear, and he Pee immediately!"

"That was all 30 years ago!" Dawson laughed and said, "And you didn't shoot him in the ear, you just shot him in the open space next to him. There's a big difference!"

Toby was even more unhappy, and said emphatically, "But that bastard pissed, and he dare not appear in Alaska again!"

Dawson introduced the situation and said, "This guy used to pan for gold in the mountains like us. He was one of the first people to attract gold in the Bering Sea. This is a new industry, which cannot compare with the history of our gold diggers."

This is really the case, the history of attracting gold in the Bering Sea is indeed much shorter.Leaving aside the long history, it is simply the Alaska Gold Rush. Hundreds of years ago, countless gold diggers panned for gold in rivers and valleys.As for gold absorption, it has a history of about 30 years, and it has really developed in recent years, and the scale is far less than that of gold mining.

Toby said helplessly, "All the gold in Alaska has been dug out, and the big mines have been found by gold diggers. I can only focus on the sea. Fortunately, there is still gold in the sea, which can make me earn money to support my family. family."

Chen Ruobai looked at Toby and asked, "How is your boat?"

"It's an old boat with a history of 25 years." Toby introduced the situation and said, "But it's well maintained, so you don't have to worry about the condition of the boat. It weighs eighty tons, and it's a large flat-bottomed boat with a very shallow draft. .”

That also means that it is impossible to cope with complicated sea conditions, but it is not surprising that most gold-absorbing ships are like this.

"My excavator is relatively small, 16 tons." Toby continued to introduce the situation, "but my boat has a strong ability to absorb sand. I modified the boat to integrate gold absorption and ore washing."

Vivienne suddenly said, "But your boat can't continue to work, your boat is too powerful. We all suck money in the sea, and we all know how big the waves are. You can't dig the seabed and wait After a while, the seawater will wash away the gold."

Toby glanced at Vivienne, with undisguised disgust in his eyes.He also didn't want to talk to Vivienne at all, because what that stupid woman said was not trustworthy at all, and could only deceive some rookies.

There is an essential difference between absorbing gold and panning for gold. It is not to use an excavator to continuously dig ore.This requires divers to dive into the sea with a sand suction device, so the so-called continuity is a paradox.

The sea will wash away the gold, which is also a concern.But the reality is that it is difficult for excavators to dig up all the ore on the seabed. Any gold-absorbing ship must be prepared to dig out some ore, but be washed away by the sea.

But there is no need to worry too much, the gold-absorbing boat can basically only work in calm seas, and gold can't go far.

Toby looked at Chen Ruobai and said, "[-] dollars, this is the rent you have to pay me. My boat cannot be driven by others unless you are willing to increase the insurance and rent. As the captain, you need to pay [-] dollars for the gold rush season. dollar salary."

Chen Ruobai was silent for a moment, then said, "I can barely accept the salary, but you can't participate in the share."

"Of course." Toby replied without hesitation, "I know the rules, I can only take one share of the money."

It's not that Chen Ruobai is stingy, but that many teams of gold diggers are like this.If you get a guaranteed salary, you don't get a share. If you get a share, you have to take risks and can't ask for wages.

As for whether the mine owner is willing to give a bonus, that is the character and morality of the mine owner.

Vivienne was very dissatisfied when she heard Toby's quotation, and felt that it was disrupting the market and causing her to miss out on a large sum of money.

Chen Ruobai also continued to say at this time, "I think we can continue to discuss about the rental part. But I need to check the condition of the ship. I can't quote at this time without seeing the ship."

Toby immediately replied, "Although it will rain tomorrow, it will not affect your inspection of my boat."

This is considered to have reached the preliminary intention, and Chen Ruobai looked at Vivienne at this time and said, "It's just the first time I've absorbed money, so I can't accept a big advanced ship at all."

Dawson and Toby both smiled and said nothing, and they naturally knew what was going on in their hearts.Deceiving students and deceiving laymen is the same in any business, and gold diggers often do the same.

When it comes to their own interests, each of them is obviously more shrewd, and each of them can have a very low bottom line.

Chen Ruobai didn't care about Vivian's dissatisfaction, and if they couldn't reach an agreement, they couldn't reach an agreement. This was just normal business behavior.

He also has expectations now, if Toby's boat is more suitable, Chen Ruobai doesn't mind a good negotiation.Because the current general framework seems acceptable, but the prerequisite is obviously that the gold-absorbing boat must meet the requirements.

With some small expectations, Chen Ruobai also went back. In this gold rush-themed bar, which is mostly middle-aged and elderly people, Chen Ruobai would not feel that there is any atmosphere. If it was not for talking about business, he would not come here.

Now I don't want to go out to be cool, it's better to go back and recharge my batteries.If the gold-absorbing boat is settled, Chen Ruobai can breathe a sigh of relief, and he will feel a lot more relaxed when he wants to go wild.

There are still many things to deal with, and the work has not been completed yet, Chen Ruobai knows that he cannot be idle.

"If the gold-absorbing ship is done, we need to consider team building." Lying on the comfortable big bed, Chen Ruobai was planning, "The captain basically has it, but the divers and safety officers can't be careless."

If it was a gold digger, there would be no shortage of people to respond to Chen Ruobai's call, because he has made achievements and can lead everyone to make money.But if you want to attract money, recruiting people may not be so easy.Especially some good players in the industry, they also pick their bosses.

This is a two-way choice, and everyone has their own requirements.Only when we are satisfied with each other can we cooperate!
