Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 240 I am not being taken advantage of
Regarding study, Chen Ruobai has never dared to take it lightly, and has been working hard to try to do better.Whether it is about geology or mineral mining and surveying, he is always studying hard.

Of course, he is also very clear that the things he has learned are just superficial, that is, common sense.After all, even if he is engaged in the gold mining industry, it does not mean that he needs to become a professional scholar.

In any case, it is obviously not a bad thing for Chen Ruobai to be more talented and learn more things.

These are actually Chen Ruobai's laziness, because he has not learned many things about machinery, and many surveys either buy existing materials, or spend money to hire professional companies and teams to complete.

He doesn't think that some of the things he has done are useless. Now Chen Ruobai has a lot of maps, including survey maps of large and small rivers and streams, especially some major mining areas, which are the objects of his focus.

Even if he found Fa Caixi in the first place, it was not just pure luck, it was also because Chen Ruobai had made some preparations in advance.Pure luck cannot explain Chen Ruobai's great success.

A lot of harvest is also a kind of affirmation and reward for Chen Ruobai's hard work.

These are also considered Chen Ruobai's cognition, even though he seems to be enjoying himself in time and not making progress, he still believes that God rewards hard work.

There's still a lot to learn, and we can't stop now.

He brought his own drone to send for repairs. Although Chen Ruobai seemed to have some strength now, he couldn't waste money.Naturally, what needs to be spent will be spent, but it must be saved in the province. The drone is not a one-off.

These things are not small things for Chen Ruobai. If these things are not done well, the next gold rush will not go smoothly. Whether it is a team or an individual, there will be no growth.

Having been busy all day, Chen Ruobai returned to his residence, and immediately couldn't help feeling surprised.

Toby was hanging around the door, which was unexpected.

Chen Ruobai put down the car window, and jokingly said, "Old guy, you can choose to call me, and I will give you the password or come back directly. You should be lucky that you didn't meet the patrolling police, otherwise he would definitely drive you away, or just come back directly. take away."

Toby joked, "They will think I am a model citizen, we don't have to worry too much."

This is a slightly racist joke. Toby is also an aborigine after all, and basically has yellow skin.

In addition to self-deprecating identity, there is also a bit of a joke about black people.In fact, the old American police are not necessarily very good to Asians, but relatively speaking, they must be slightly better than Lao Hei and Lao Mo.

Chen Ruobai was also happy, and said directly, "Although I don't know what you are here for, I don't have to worry too much."

Toby got into the car directly. Although this was not the first time he came to Chen Ruobai's residence, he still looked at him after he came in, and he couldn't hide the envy in his eyes.He has worked hard for decades, and he is indeed stronger than many people.But Toby also knows that he can barely be regarded as a middle class, but even so, he may not be so outstanding.

Without money to buy a villa, I bought a house in a middle-class community.Several children, without exception, are studying in public schools and can only receive those happy education, not the elite education of private schools.

After all, the money he worked hard to earn is not enough to send his children to private schools, let alone let his children enter certain classes.

"Your children will definitely be very lucky in the future, and they will win many people." Toby took the coffee brought by Chen Ruobai and said directly, "You must know that the current class is very solidified, including the blue-collar class. gone."

Chen Ruobai nodded, he probably knew something, "Those big families are very good, and now it is difficult to make some breakthroughs. I heard that only some successful sports stars and movie stars can break through the hierarchy and live in high-end communities from slums .”

Toby immediately complained, "Really? Many people in Hollywood have their own social and family relationships. Maybe those girlfriends can get a chance lying on the red sofa, and the same goes for male stars."

Chen Ruobai is still very interested in these entertainment gossips. The red sofas of Hollywood producers and directors are very famous.As for the many connections in Hollywood, those aren't secrets either.Even many people involved in politics have family connections, and it is no longer so easy to start from scratch.

Ordinary family Bill Gates, or the former president of an ordinary family, etc., are just some people willing to believe.

Toby looked at Chen Ruobai and said, "You have the opportunity to enter those classes, you can create greater wealth, and you can have the opportunity to create a successful enterprise. But I also believe that when you threaten the interests of some people, they will Maybe it will trouble you."

Chen Ruobai knew this well, and joked with a smile, "They still look down on me, I'm just a little gold digger. Maybe they will promote me. My success seems to prove that the American dream is continuing. Many people will envy it Me, jealous of me, and then come to pan for gold. When I find a big mine, those guys will trouble me."

Toby thought it made sense, the current Chen Ruobai didn't have much size to threaten some people.

Among the group of gold diggers, Chen Ruobai may be a super dazzling new star, a "big man" emerging in this industry.

But in the eyes of real big shots, the present Chen Ruobai is actually just a nobody, the so-called Nobody.

After the simple exchange of pleasantries, Chen Ruobai didn't hide anymore, "Don't you need to work tomorrow? I don't think so. I read the weather forecast and sea forecast, and it should be possible to continue working."

"I will continue to work tomorrow, I just come over after today's work is done." Toby smiled, and then said, "I will remain efficient until the end of the contract, this is my professional ethics."

Regarding this, Chen Ruobai just smiled and didn't say anything. It was obvious that his attitude was that he didn't believe in the so-called professional ethics.

Some people do have a work ethic, but some don't.And Toby, in Chen Ruobai's opinion, has no professional ethics.

Toby is probably also an old man, so it can be seen naturally, but he doesn't necessarily care about such things.Since he chose to come to find Chen Ruobai on his own initiative, he naturally had some mental preparations. He really had a business to do, and it could be considered that he would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

"I know that something has happened recently, and we have caused some unpleasantness." Toby said straight to the point, "My child needs money, and he is in a lot of trouble, so I made a wrong decision."

Chen Ruobai still smiled and didn't speak, maybe Toby had some difficulties, but Chen Ruobai didn't think it could damage his interests.

What's more, Chen Ruobai thinks that he is not a holy mother. There are too many people in difficulties in this world. He does not have the love to take care of everyone, nor does he have the ability.

As for Toby, it seems that this is not a stranger, but everyone is just a colleague relationship, an employment relationship, or even a short-term cooperative relationship.It is obviously redundant to talk about personal relationships now.

Seeing that Chen Ruobai didn't speak, Toby continued, "I know everyone doesn't recognize me now, it's a torment. Originally we were an excellent team, and we achieved great success."

"It's really good, we found a lot of gold." This is true, and Chen Ruobai also admitted it, "It's a little more than I expected, and I think I've chosen the right path."

This is a successful attempt, and Chen Ruobai firmly believes in it, the gold is the best proof.

If Chen Ruobai is not considered successful, then few of the gold-absorbing teams in Alaska are considered successful.

"I originally thought that if you can find [-] ounces of gold, you will be successful, and you will definitely continue to work hard in this industry." Toby looked at Chen Ruobai, envious but also admiring, "Many people's goal is only [-] ounces , This is a very good result in our eyes, but it is still difficult for us to achieve."

That's true, Alaska's coastline has a lot of gold, and many people know about it.But how to work efficiently, this is the most difficult thing, knowing that there is gold in the sea is useless, and there is no way to dig it ashore, that is empty talk.

Looking at Chen Ruobai, Toby asked, "You have ordered a gold-absorbing boat now, and you want to achieve greater success next year. I believe you have the ability to do so. But the Knight Brothers are just divers, they can't drive the gold-absorbing boat .Robert, you don’t have to be an excellent captain of a large ship to drive a gold-absorbing ship well, and the complicated sea conditions on the coastline are also very dangerous.”

Chen Ruobai was stunned for a moment, finding it hard to understand, "You mean you want to stay in the team?"

Toby immediately said affirmatively, "Yes, I want to continue working with you. Working here will give me a sense of accomplishment, and I can get a good salary and bonus."

Hearing what Toby said, Chen Ruobai felt that he was hallucinating for a moment, he never thought that Toby would actually bring up such a thing, a thing that was impossible at all.

"Where's your boat?" Chen Ruobai said directly, "I don't need two gold-absorbing boats, and your boat can't meet my requirements. I will try more and have higher requirements for gold-absorbing boats."

Toby said bluntly, "I will sell it, or let my children take over."

Chen Ruobai seems to understand that Toby is trying to catch a sheep.

But Chen Ruobai couldn't understand: Do I look so taken advantage of?
