Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 130 A Little Accident, Nothing to Worry About
There are some accidents, which of course everyone does not want to see, but some things seem to be unavoidable.

Working in a mine naturally has certain risks, and being injured by a stone is the most likely kind of accident.There may also be some dangers if you fall into a mine pit and fall, and the excavator or bulldozer or engineering vehicle overturns.

These are relatively common accidents, and these are also the particularities of the work.Just like when a fishing boat goes out to sea, it can capsize or fall into the water. This is all possible.Injured arms and fingers by fish cages, dragged into the sea by nooses and ropes are some of the dangers that many fishermen will face.

As long as you are engaged in some occupations, it is difficult to avoid some dangers, and you can only be careful when working, so as to reduce some risks, so that you can "go to work happily and return home safely".

Montgomery was in danger this time, Chen Ruobai naturally didn't want to see it, but he understood rationally that as long as he was panning for gold, sooner or later he might face big or small situations, and these might be unavoidable things.

The situation seems to be pretty good now, and Montgomery's life is not in danger, which is a blessing in misfortune.

Some accidents happened, instead of lamenting here, it is better to solve those problems in a down-to-earth manner.This is also what Chen Ruobai should do now, whether as a friend or as a boss, he should do it.

Chen Ruobai, who was worried all the way, arrived in Fairbanks, went straight to the hospital, and got good news.

Montgomery, who had a bandage on his head, was not alone, his parents were also here with him, and they all smiled when they saw Chen Ruobai.

It is definitely not enough to blame Chen Ruobai, this is part of the job.

"I'm very unlucky." Montgomery was very calm. Although his face was pale, he was in good spirits. "I was hit by a rock. I didn't expect to encounter such a big rock. Our excavator also needs to be repaired. This is a loss."

Seeing that Montgomery was fine, Chen Ruobai heaved a sigh of relief, "Now you don't have to worry about work, the happiest thing is that you are fine."

"I may have to rest for a few days, and I have to check for concussion." Montgomery said to Chen Ruobai with a smile, "The good news is that my skull is fine, I'm just unlucky and bled a lot."

Flesh injury, this can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune, and this can also be regarded as the best news for Chen Ruobai after he knew the accident happened.To put it bluntly, it was just bleeding, and it wasn't a serious injury.

Looking at Montgomery, Chen Ruobai asked with a smile, "How do you feel now? You are injured at work, and you have insurance."

"I don't have to worry about bills." Montgomery joked, "You bought accident insurance for us, and my medical insurance is fine. I'm lying in the hospital now, and I don't need to worry about my salary."

Chen Ruobai also jokingly said, "I also feel fortunate that I don't need to increase some expenses, and the insurance company will take care of it. So now you can take care of your injuries and don't have to worry about work and income."

This is also true, Montgomery is injured, so there is really no need to worry about medical expenses.

In the United States, many people are afraid to call an ambulance, let alone a rescue helicopter, which is charged and very expensive.

However, people like Montgomery also have medical insurance and have bought various accident insurances.It's not that it's just medical expenses at this time, even during the period of work-related injuries, Montgomery can still get a 'basic salary'.

Anyway, there is a formal contract, and the insurance company will also pay for this part of the salary while Montgomery is recuperating.This is what many American companies like to do. They do have to pay some insurance premiums, but when something really happens, the company needs to pay a lot less money.

"The insurance company can't give me much. If my head is okay, I want to go back to the mine immediately." Montgomery said truthfully, "If it's just compensation from the insurance company, I can only maintain the minimum income. I want to earn Big money, and I have the opportunity to make even more money."

"You will never lack opportunities to make a lot of money. Your body is the most important thing." Chen Ruobai comforted Montgomery and said, "You also know my ability, I can find gold. You may not know that my Bering Sea Gold Absorber has obtained preliminary Success, I found more than thirty ounces of gold in yesterday's experimental gold suction!"

Montgomery regained his energy in an instant, and asked excitedly, "Thirty ounces? You have already sucked thirty ounces of gold in the sea?"

Chen Ruobai became complacent, and there was no need to be humble, "Of course, I am the best gold digger, and finding gold has never been difficult for me. You just need to follow the doctor's orders carefully, and I will only allow you to do so after getting the doctor's report." Back in the mines. There are plenty of opportunities to make money, and the body needs to come first.”

After saying this, Chen Ruobai jokingly said, "I heard that you had an accident, I am very worried. I am worried about your life, worried that you will be afraid, and I am even preparing to recruit another employee. But it seems that there is no need to worry now, you Will go back to the mines."

"Of course, I will not miss the opportunity to make a lot of money." Montgomery said a little annoyed, "I just hope that I don't have a concussion so that I can return to the mine sooner. My plan this year is to earn $12 , according to our current income, I can do this."

Chen Ruobai thought for a while and said, "You have a chance to earn this amount, or even more. I will continue to look for mines. After this year's gold rush season is over, I will organize a trip. Let's go to Hawaii or Florida for vacation. Can consider it."

Company reimbursement, team building, this part is completely fine, Chen Ruobai learns helicopter driving and yacht driving, and the tuition fees are all reimbursed by the company.He has tasted some benefits now, and many things are not personal expenses.

Even if his company has only one shareholder, at least it is registered as a mining company, which can bring a lot of convenience.

Montgomery's father, Jerry Montgomery, suddenly said, "Robert, I can drive an excavator, and I can also drive a bulldozer. If he needs to rest, I can go to the mine to work for a while. I am an old guy with rich experience."

Montgomery twisted his head with difficulty and complained, "Daddy, are you robbing me of my job?"

Jerry said as a matter of course, "Son, I'm keeping a job for you! You have to understand that many people want to pan for gold with Robert. If you can't go to work, someone will definitely come to him. I'm just making some pension money. In your I'll give you your job back when you're healthy. It's your job and it can't be taken away by someone else."

"I'm worried that you will take my job at that time." Montgomery complained, "But we really need to keep this job now, and we can't give anyone else any chance to join the team."

These words touched Jerry's heart, "Of course, many people are waiting for opportunities. John, that silly boy, has the opportunity to earn more than [-] US dollars in half a year, and Paul, a fat man who can only eat, can earn as much. Those guys at Este are crazy to get the job!"

This can be regarded as a kind of recognition for Chen Ruobai, and it is a consensus that they can earn a lot of money by working with him.

Lesnar, Devi, or Montgomery, who were the first to follow Chen Ruobai to pan for gold, made a lot of money.Dick or the newcomers Lawrence and Drake are earning quite a lot, which is naturally even more enviable.

Those neighbors in the past were all at the bottom, struggling near the poverty line, and they knew better how hard it was to find a good job.

"Speaking of which, I should prepare the bill for you." Chen Ruobai smiled and said, "It's a good number. I hope you can speed up your recovery from injuries after seeing it."

Seeing the bill in his hand, Montgomery said happily, "It's great! I can go to the mine tomorrow. The two mine washings this season are great. I have already earned property taxes and this year's living expenses, and there is still a sum of money Go to the bar for a few drinks."

Knowing that Montgomery was fine, Chen Ruobai felt relieved, "I still have to go to work, and you need to get a doctor's report if you want to go back to the mine. If you are worried about the work in the mine, I can promise to let your father take over temporarily. "

After explaining these things, Chen Ruobai didn't stay any longer, there were other things that he needed to deal with.

After knocking on the door, Jose Lawrence was surprised when he opened it, "Robert, you are here to deliver the check, right?"

"Your brother works very hard, he deserves it." Chen Ruobai said with a smile, "You don't have to worry about milk and tuition fees, your brother will take care of it for you. If you study hard, he will save enough money for you." college tuition."

Jose said confidently, "I won't go to college. You didn't even go to high school, and Javier and the others didn't finish high school either. I want to go gold panning with you and make a lot of money. That would be the best." work!"

Chen Ruobai didn't even know what to say, he seemed to be a 'bad example'.

Gina Lawrence happily took her eldest grandson's salary check, and asked with concern, "How is Nathan?"

"It's okay, it's just bleeding, and the skull isn't injured." Chen Ruobai explained with a smile, "If you're worried about John, I can totally understand. He's safe, and I've been emphasizing the safety thing."

Mrs. Lawrence immediately said, "I can totally understand that a salesman could be robbed, a logger could be killed by a tree, a fisherman could fall into the sea. Even if I walk on the street, I can be hit by bullets from the police and bad guys." .John needs the job and he's not coming back."

Well, there are dangers everywhere in life, but you can't give up your bright future because of some trivial things.
