Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 13 The Dust Settles
Abigail was waiting at the intersection in a second-generation Dodge Ram, and she rushed to pick someone up after receiving the call.She is also very curious and worried these days, and wants to know if Chen Ruobai and the others have found more gold.

Seeing the three savages coming out of the forest, Abigail immediately laughed, "Hi, gentlemen!"

Devi happily waved at Abigail, and immediately hugged her and kissed her after getting in the car, which was really sensual.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Abby asked quickly, "It seems that everyone has gained a lot, and you are all very happy."

Chen Ruobai immediately took out the small bottle and shook it, "Look, this is our harvest!"

Abby immediately widened her eyes, she felt incredible, "Is this true? You have made a new discovery in your mine?"

Devi immediately explained, "Robert found a new mine, and those large particles of gold come from the new mine. We are about to get busy now. I remember that you have a classmate who is a broker, right?"

Abby immediately said, "Are you talking about Thomas? He is indeed a broker. If you are panning for gold in the river, you cannot buy mining rights."

"This time it's not in the river." Chen Ruobai said hastily, "We're just not sure if it belongs to the mining area, so we need to consult. We may have to work for a long time, so we must think clearly."

Abby probably understands some meanings, and may not be able to continue making small troubles, so she should be more formal.

Back in the hut, Chen Ruobai took a shower and changed his clothes. While he was busy preparing dinner, Devi brought Derek Thomas over.

Thomas and Chen Ruobai shook hands, and immediately took out the map, "I'm very busy now, and many outsiders want to know the information of the mining area. Let's start directly. Where do you want to buy the mining rights?"

The United States has a well-developed service industry and high labor costs.Brokers like Thomas are more familiar with the situation and know some information about mining areas and mine owners, and will provide various information for gold diggers who go to Alaska to pan for gold every year.

Chen Ruobai roughly drew the area, and Thomas smiled and said, "You may need to be more specific. This is close to the protected area and the river. I can tell you responsibly that the environmental protection agency will not allow you to pan for gold in the river."

Chen Ruobai drew a little more specific location, which also made Thomas embarrassed, "In theory, you can pan for gold here, which belongs to the mining area. But the government's requirements will be very strict. If you are panning for gold for the first time, I don't recommend you do this." .”

Devi hurriedly asked, "Why?"

"The difficulty is too high." Thomas said immediately, "Your mining area seems to be too close to the river, and the environmental protection agency will not allow you to cause damage to the river bed. Moreover, it is difficult to transport large machinery into that area, and you need to recover after mining. The terrain there, that will increase your mining costs."

Chen Ruobai immediately said, "I don't care about those things, we will strictly abide by the law."

Thomas glanced at Chen Ruobai thoughtfully, and said, "How much mining area do you want? The area of ​​the mine is equal to the price, and the actual effect of the mining right is also equal to these."

Dewei and Chen Ruobai looked at each other, and then narrowed down the area slightly, "How much do you think it will cost? I asked, it is not a popular mining area, the price will not be too high, right? We only need the mining rights for this year, if the government allows We lose the rights after October, so that's even better."

Thomas immediately smiled and said, "That's impossible. The snow will start to fall in October, and the permafrost will be difficult to mine. The government will not save you money. It seems that the short-term mining rights belong to you. As long as you spend [-] dollars, and then sign contracts and conduct safety training for mining.”

Thirty-five thousand dollars is not a lot, but don't forget that if Chen Ruobai finds gold there, the government will take away 12.00% of the harvest.This is not a one-time fee, and there are many requirements in the later stage.

Chen Ruobai heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "I will sign the contract tomorrow, what do you think?"

Thomas agreed, and the deal was concluded, basically without any major problems.It is not difficult to win the mining rights. As for the subsequent protection of the environment, etc., that is Chen Ruobai's business.

Thomas, the broker, is only responsible for helping to obtain mining rights, and he doesn't care about other things.This business can also make him earn more than 2000 US dollars, which is not too small, and he is very satisfied.

The main thing is that it is simple and efficient. If you meet some gold diggers, they will choose thousands of mines when they choose mines. Signing a contract cannot be achieved in a day or two.

Lesnar returned with a check.He brought back a check for $4, and a total of 31.7 ounces of gold were obtained from the last gold rush.

"We have to find a way to transfer this money to the mine, otherwise it will be very troublesome in the future." Eating the steak, Lesnar said happily, "But we can sign the contract tomorrow, which is not difficult for us. "

It's really not difficult, as long as everyone is not thinking about tax evasion, it's no problem to add a little bit afterwards.

For this gold panning, everyone can say that they are very satisfied, and the harvest is quite good.

Chen Ruobai was also happy, although he had to share a sum of money, it was enough to buy the mining right now.This matter did not cause any disturbance, Chen Ruobai successfully signed the contract and got the mining right of that mining area.

Devi and Lesnar were also extremely excited. They were also nervous in the past two days, for fear of any twists and turns at this time.Now they can rest assured that they don't have to continue to mine gold secretly.

With the contract, it naturally means that everyone can feel at ease and work in the mine in a fair manner.

"Tomorrow I'm going to train. I'm the person in charge of the mine." Chen Ruobai said and made work arrangements, "You two need to go there first and build our mine."

Devi had no objection and joked, "It's a good thing I'm a lumberjack, so we can build a wooden shed. It's just that it's difficult for us to transport large tools there, and the cost is too high."

"I don't have much money to buy excavators now." Chen Ruobai also complained, "Especially those large excavators, we can only continue to maintain the original working condition. First build the wooden house and open up the road for the follow-up The machine is ready to enter the field."

The main problem of large machinery now is that it cannot be purchased, or it cannot be afforded.It's a bit difficult to transport it in, but when the time comes, find a way to open a road from the wasteland and rush directly across the river.

After all, the lack of money is still the biggest problem.Even if it takes a little effort and a little detour for the others, that's okay.

Thinking of something, Chen Ruobai said again, "If it's a logging machine, we can all use it very well. But the excavator is a bit difficult for us, and you have to start preparing to learn how to drive the excavator."

Not only the driving of the excavator must be considered, but also the various maintenance and use of the washing machine, etc., everyone also needs to learn.A job like panning for gold is not easy, and requires some skills.

Although I didn't know these things before, I will start to learn now.

In order to pan for gold and make a lot of money, everyone should be able to maintain enough enthusiasm for learning.If you don't master these skills, you can't eat gold panning.

Learning must be learned, not only Devi and Lesnar need to learn, Chen Ruobai also needs to learn.

He is now participating in a series of trainings, some common sense trainings on mining, and trainings on environmental protection and safety.When panning for gold in Alaska, gold diggers cannot escape such an experience.

Chen Ruobai didn't think there was any problem with this, learning this knowledge was also very important.Making money is very important, and safety cannot be ignored.Knowing the knowledge about environmental protection and a series of emergency measures can also work better, avoid being fined, and so on.

Chen Ruobai was also communicating with some experienced gold diggers, and he had a little knowledge of working and living in the mining area.

It may not be efficient if you just keep exploring on your own.Less detours and more learning can make better progress.
