Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 19 Team Building
Being rich naturally means having confidence. Chen Ruobai hummed and listened to music in a happy mood. Although this is just an ordinary log cabin, the house is fully furnished and equipped with kitchen utensils, so it can barely be regarded as a cozy nest.

Da Zhuang wagged his tail and walked around the house. Although he lived more in the dormitory of the mine during this time, he is more familiar with the current log cabin, which is what he considers home.

"We will move in a while, and I have to find a way to buy a place with mountains and rivers behind." Regardless of whether Da Zhuang can understand, Chen Ruobai still said, "We will also move to Anchorage, although Alaska is cold, But it’s better there.”

The most important thing is that Anchorage is the largest city in Alaska, on the edge of the peninsula.It seems that there is a lack of beaches, but there are vast and unpredictable tidal mudflats. Those who want to go to sea can actually find a pier, and at most run a little farther.

"Or we can live outside the city and buy a piece of land on the hillside." Chen Ruobai suddenly had an idea, and said, "It's more comfortable that way, and we can make money now, it's more comfortable to have a large piece of land."

Buying a villa in some high-end community seems good, but it's not comfortable.

It's better to buy a large piece of land at the foot of the mountain or on the slope, and then build a big villa by yourself.It doesn't matter if you need to spend more money, as long as you have the ability to find gold, you don't need to worry about money.

Living comfortably and comfortably is the most important thing.Inconvenient transportation and so on can actually be overcome.What's more, Chen Ruobai didn't want to go to some deep mountains and old forests, but just a little far away from the city, and there wouldn't be too much inconvenience.

Thinking of these, Chen Ruobai's heart skipped a beat, but now he just thinks about it, this matter needs to be considered more fully.

When Chen Ruobai was busy cooking, there was a knock on the door, and immediately Montgomery came in directly.

Montgomery sat directly on the sofa and said lazily, "Robert, you are now the focus of everyone's discussion."

"They're all talking about my getting rich?" Chen Ruobai was not modest, and said with some pride, "I'm not surprised at all, everyone will envy me for finding a gold mine. Maybe they are still discussing resignation, and they all want to find gold."

Montgomery did not deny that among the employees of the logging camp, Chen Ruobai was very inconspicuous.Everyone is struggling with logging and earning a meager salary, but who would have thought that Chen Ruobai would suddenly become prosperous.

Don't look at the fact that there seems to be less contact with Chen Ruobai now, but in the small town, many people know that Chen Ruobai will sell some gold every now and then, and they all know that Chen Ruobai has found a rich mine.

The most indispensable thing in Alaska is the story about gold panning, but many people will not go to gold panning desperately.Because everyone in Alaska knows that panning for gold requires ability, but more luck.

Chen Ruobai was a little curious and gossiped, "What are everyone talking about about me now?"

Rubbing Da Zhuang's head, Montgomery said, "Everyone says that after the gold rush season is over, you should invite us to the bar for a round of drinks."

"No problem, I agree." Chen Ruobai was not stingy, and said directly, "After the gold rush season is over, we can go to the bar and have a sit. Mr. Chen pays the bill for the whole audience, and I am willing to pay for this consumption."

At the lumberyard, Chen Ruobai had a good relationship with his colleagues, so if they went to the bar for fun, that would be fine.After all, everyone just goes to ordinary bars, not high-end nightclubs.

Even if it's a round of treats, it's only two or three hundred dollars at most, which is nothing to Chen Ruobai.Don't say that he is 'rich and powerful' now, even if he encountered some happy things in the past, everyone would occasionally treat guests for a round of drinks, but such things rarely happen.

In the final analysis, everyone's income was low in the past, and they were not rich people, so naturally they had to plan carefully.

Montgomery was curious and gossiped, "How long will your mine continue to be constructed?"

"It may take another half a month." Chen Ruobai did not hide anything, and said, "We have completed most of the mining work in the mine, and there is only half a month's mining capacity there. But after the mining is over, we may need a week To restore the landform there, the Environmental Protection Agency has very strict requirements."

Montgomery was not surprised. The Ministry of Environmental Protection was something no one wanted to deal with, and it was very difficult to communicate with those people.

It doesn't matter whether it is the mine owners or the forestry owners of the logging camps, dealing with the Ministry of Environmental Protection is inevitable, and restraint is also inevitable.

"What's your next plan?" Montgomery became even more curious. "You definitely don't look down on the jobs of two or three hundred yuan a week now. You are all rich people who have made a lot of money now. Continue to pan for gold? Become a professional gold pan people?"

Chen Ruobai did not hide his thoughts and said, "I may become a professional gold digger, but I can't guarantee whether Javier and the others are willing to work with me. Now they are very satisfied with their income, but who knows what will happen in the future!"

Becoming a professional gold digger is definitely the direction of Chen Ruobai's future development, there is no doubt about it.He has already tasted a lot of sweetness from the matter of panning for gold, so naturally he will not give up easily.

Keep working hard and panning for gold so you can make more money instead of working in a lumberyard.

Montgomery was a little envious, and said, "They all say you can make $100 million this year."

"This is an exaggeration, it's unrealistic." Chen Ruobai said honestly, "If those guys know about gold panning, they know that I want to give Javier a share, and the Mining Bureau will also take part of the profits. And I bought excavators, laundered Mining machines need a lot of money, I hope to earn 100 million, but unfortunately the total amount of gold dug out is less than 100 million."

"But that's a lot." Montgomery said enviously, "I've always wanted to make more money, and I've always thought that if I could earn $[-] a year, my life would be great .”

An annual income of US$[-] is almost the middle-class level in the United States.However, this is not absolute. In places like New York and Los Angeles, $[-] is not considered middle class, but in places like Alaska, the annual income of $[-] is more than the average middle class. The economic level here is relatively poor.

Chen Ruobai joked, "If I find a big mine, I can invite you to work for me."

Montgomery's eyes lit up, and he definitely had no objection, "Of course it's the best, so I can realize my dream."

"However, all of this is based on the premise that I have found a big mine." Chen Ruobai also said seriously, "I hope that my team will be some reliable people, we have been working together for a long time, and I know your character and ability. But I also want to keep the work going, and I value ability more.”

Montgomery took it for granted, "Don't forget that I am the real excavator driver, and I am better than Javier and the others."

This is also true, Montgomery's ability to drive an excavator is still very good, this is a fact.

Thinking of this, Chen Ruobai was a little worried, "I still need technicians, excavator drivers are enough for now. I need maintenance engineers, Javier and the others can only drive excavators, but they don't know how to repair and maintain them."

To continue to upgrade, the team needs more professionals and more efficient work.

Although I have two new excavators in hand now, the quality is good for the time being.But when those things are used, it means that they are constantly getting old, and mechanical failures will also occur during bumps and bumps.

The current team really lacks engineers.It is not necessary to be able to overhaul, but to deal with some faults in an emergency, which is also necessary.Otherwise, you can only wait for the maintenance engineer to come, which will greatly increase the cost and cause delays.

Team building is urgent. After all, Chen Ruobai wants to become bigger and stronger, which means he needs a more professional team.

The current team seems to be good, but there are also many shortcomings.These are all problems that Chen Ruobai needs to solve. He can't wait until something really happens to think about it. He must be prepared in advance!
