Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 151 Realistic New Friend
Chen Ruobai returned to Anchorage in a good mood, took the initiative to call Dawson after washing and resting, "You must know that I have made money again, in order to show respect for you, I took the initiative to call you."

Dawson cursed a curse word, and then said reluctantly, "Although I am very jealous and envious, I still want to congratulate you: well done!"

This is deserved praise, all because of Chen Ruobai's outstanding performance, this is the best proof.

Dawson didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly, "Boy, you definitely didn't want to get my affirmation, just tell me, what's the matter?"

"I'm not such a realistic, philistine person, you need to change your impression of me." Chen Ruobai didn't continue to be unruly, and started to be serious, "I just want to know if many people are interested in my mining area now?"

Dawson was also unambiguous, and said bluntly, "Of course, everyone will be interested in hot areas that make money? Do you know the history of Fairbanks? Do you know the history of Yukon? They are the gold rush You have successfully attracted the attention of many gold prospectors, and they will go to the area where you work to prospect for ore."

As if feeling that such stimulation was not enough, Dawson continued, "I just discussed with you a few days ago that your mine and the new mine are all in the river valley. We have reason to believe that there will be more mines in that area. Gold mine."

Chen Ruobai didn't know what to say, and couldn't swear, because what Dawson said was the truth.

His mine is indeed in a river valley, and it is possible to find more gold mines along the direction of the ancient river course. This is a fact.

Moreover, although Chen Ruobai bought mining areas in some areas, he obviously couldn't buy the mining rights in areas tens of kilometers away.So if someone wants to pick up a ready-made one, that is also possible.

It is impossible for Chen Ruobai to scour all the gold by himself, and that river valley may bring some surprises to people.It appears to be a productive area, and worth a few gold diggers' gambles.

It's hard for Chen Ruobai to say anything about it. Everyone is a gold digger. Some areas have a higher probability of producing gold, so naturally people will flock to it.Since they haven't won the mining rights of those areas, don't say that those people want to take advantage of it.

Cheap is not so easy to find, after all, these people also have to take risks, and gold mining is not so easy to do.

Only those who can find the gold mine will have the last laugh, so Chen Ruobai has nothing to worry about, just wish those gold diggers good luck.

After chatting with Dawson for a while, I feel that I am becoming more and more conspicuous now, and I have become a role model and a guiding light in the eyes of many colleagues.Whether those people will make money because of him, these things should be cared about in the future, and don't care too much now.

The most important thing is that these people are not blocking his way of making money or affecting his work, so naturally there is nothing to care about.For some things, Chen Ruobai was quite open-minded.

After finishing the phone call with Dawson, Chen Ruobai also contacted Abigail to confirm the job.

After finishing these things, Chen Ruobai didn't stay idle, he took the dog leash and drove Da Zhuang into the car, and went shopping and having fun when he was about to go out.

As soon as I drove out of the villa, I saw a big car in the driveway. If it was an accident, it should be the neighbor next door.

The neighbor lowered the car window, and a middle-aged man dressed in the traditional elite asked, "I wanted to come over to say hello to you a long time ago, but you seem to be very busy and often not at home."

"Haha." Chen Ruobai greeted with a smile, "I haven't been here for a long time, and I still have to work. Chen Ruobai, but you can call me Robert Chen, a lucky man in the gold mining industry."

The middle-aged man smiled and joked, "Our occupations are similar. I am also looking for wealth in the soil. Arthur Ball, a petroleum engineer."

Chen Ruobai said happily, "Then our occupation seems to represent the past and present of Alaska, and it is the most popular occupation."

The fact is that the former Alaska rose because of the gold rush.But it is different now. Oil and natural gas are the pillar industries of Alaska.Fishing, etc., that is supplementary.

Bohr pointed to the villa and asked, "The house you bought?"

"It's rented." Chen Ruobai was not embarrassed, "If you pay attention, you can check that the property rights here have not changed."

These can be regarded as a characteristic of the United States, and these can also be regarded as a characteristic of the United States. Some information is not confidential.For example, the property rights of houses are almost always transparent, mainly because the public supervises the local government to assess the value of houses and collect property taxes.

These things are also easy to understand. The property tax assessment cannot be directly determined by a certain person or certain organization.And whether the property tax of the house is paid on time can also be checked.

"I'm not interested in caring if my neighbors are selling, especially since I'm just renting here," Ball joked. Moved to the villa area."

Chen Ruobai agreed with this statement, "It's very quiet here. I like this environment, which is better than ordinary communities and apartments."

"I like the security here and the privacy here." Ball also said his own experience, "and it can help me expand my social network and let me meet more outstanding people."

Although it seems very utilitarian to say so, it is not a big problem.Even if you just rent here, the monthly rent is [-] US dollars, which is equivalent to the annual income of some families with good conditions.

And the principle of dividing people into groups is actually the same everywhere.

"I'm going to go shopping and have a drink." Chen Ruobai invited, "If you have time, we can go get together."

Naturally, Bohr didn't have any opinions. Making friends with outstanding and capable people was also one of his favorite ways of socializing.

Even if I met some gold diggers in Alaska, I heard about some gold diggers.It's just that there are really few such people around, especially a gold digger who seems to be relatively successful.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the young man in front of him is lucky enough to find a gold mine and immediately enjoy life. This kind of thing is also common. Some people enjoy life immediately after making money.

Chen Ruobai did not object to expanding his social circle. After all, he couldn't just deal with lumberjacks and gold diggers all the time, and there was nothing wrong with getting to know people from other industries.

The two of them also found a coffee shop at random, and drinking coffee and chatting outside is not bad.

"Petroleum engineers have a lot of work, in addition to exploration and extraction, oil transportation, oil refining, and drilling operations. Including some petrochemicals, they can all be petroleum engineers." Bohr also introduced some of his work and said, "My A job is oil refining, a steady job with a good rate of return."

Chen Ruobai joked, "I know that shale oil has been very popular in recent years, and you are in a new round of industry peak."

"But your industry has always been very popular. Perhaps since the beginning of human history, people have liked gold very much." Bohr also followed the business tout, "There are many gold diggers in Alaska, and many people have made money."

Chen Ruobai poured cold water on him and said, "But there are also many people who went bankrupt, and they failed to realize their dream of making a fortune here. Gold resources have begun to dry up, and some large gold mines have been discovered and occupied by some large companies. Gold diggers like us, You can only make small money forever."

Ball joked, "If you find 100 ounces of gold, you will be rich. No one will think that 200 million or [-] million is a small number, and that is my income for more than ten years."

This seems to be true. Gold mining can really make you rich overnight, and it is not easy for Americans to earn 100 million US dollars.

Boer said to Chen Ruobai, "You can live in the villa area, and your car is also very good, which means that you have made money. I know that many gold diggers have a bad life, but you are different from them."

Chen Ruobai thought for a while and did not deny it, "As I introduced myself, I am a lucky gold digger, so I found some gold and made some money."

Ball was curious and gossiping, "Can you tell me how it feels to see that gold? Would you melt gold sand into gold nuggets?"

When it comes to this, Chen Ruobai has the right to speak, "It feels great to find the gold sand, especially when pouring the gold sand into the bottle, the sound of the gold sand flowing is the most beautiful sound when I stop working!"

The conversation between Chen Ruobai and Boer was quite speculative. Although the two of them didn't hit it off, they seemed to have some common topics during the conversation.It may also be that they feel that there is indeed something to learn from the other party.

For example, Bohr, in Chen Ruobai's opinion, has a good educational background, good job and income.Let's not talk about whether such a circle of friends will improve Chen Ruobai's level, it's all false.The main thing is such contacts, knowledge, etc., which are also helpful for Chen Ruobai to broaden his horizons.

After all, Chen Ruobai's friends used to be at the bottom, and all these people couldn't get together a community college diploma.

In Boer's opinion, meeting a new friend like Chen Ruobai is quite interesting.No other factors, but because this new friend is rich, it seems that he made a lot of money from gold mining.

Don't think about learning and work. Earning money is the most important thing. This is also one of the symbols of social status and connections. Sometimes capitalism needs to be more pragmatic.

A dollar stained with oil and a dollar covered in mud, no one is nobler than the other!
