Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 272 Greed
Dick was working hard, and Chen Ruobai seemed to be discussing something with Dawson at this moment.I reported my psychological expectations, and the rest is for Dawson, the middleman, to discuss.

If there is no accident, Chen Ruobai can directly take down this excavator.Not all gold diggers are rich, and not everyone in Laomei can easily spend tens of thousands of dollars in full, especially for small and medium-sized gold digging teams.

Therefore, it is understandable that Harkers wanted to slaughter Chen Ruobai before, after all, this is a high-quality customer.

The next matchmaking and so on, of course, are finances and the like, and Chen Ruobai doesn't need to worry about it.

This is probably one of the benefits of having your own company. To be honest, it really saves a lot of worry.For this point, Chen Ruobai felt more and more, and now he has also tasted the sweetness of it.

It is not enough to get one excavator, Chen Ruobai may need to purchase one or two large excavators next.For his washing machine, it also needs to continuously improve performance and increase efficiency, which is what he should do.

This is Chen Ruobai's expectation to become bigger and stronger, and to create another glories, and he has been working hard towards this direction.

Chen Ruobai and Dick set off, both of them were in a very good mood, the main reason being that this time the work went smoothly.

"Martha and the children have already started packing their luggage." Dick said proudly while sitting in the co-pilot, "The happiest thing about me now is that I didn't buy a house like them last year. I didn't buy a house in Anchorage. I can directly Go to Seattle."

Chen Ruobai also said, "I will continue to rent my current residence, and I'm used to it. I'm also very glad that I didn't buy a house, so I can go directly to Seattle."

Still, Dick said, "Real estate in the past two years has looked good, and it has always been able to guarantee returns."

When mentioning this, Chen Ruobai joked with a smile, "It seems that land has always been the most popular investment, maybe I also need to learn from Bill Gates, their investment seems to be a very obvious signal."

It is said that the houses on Laomei's side are 'only for living, not for speculation', but there is no shortage of some people on Laomei's side who earn some money by relying on real estate.The market in the past few years is indeed not bad in terms of seeking truth from facts. Many people can make a lot of money by holding it for a few years.

As for some rich people are also buying a large amount of agricultural land now, Bill Gates and others are considered to be the best among them.The income from land does not seem to be the highest, but these investments have always been relatively stable.

This is also a good idea. Instead of being a rancher or farmer, you can rent the land to some people.

Dick looked at Chen Ruobai enviously and said, "This is not a problem for you. You can consider buying a villa by the sea after earning a lot of money, you can buy a vacation villa in the countryside, and you can consider riding a horse on a ranch, playing sports after retirement. Golf."

When mentioning this, Chen Ruobai wanted to complain, "Actually, I don't really like golf, and it's hard for me to understand the charm of golf. I prefer watching football, ice hockey, baseball and basketball. I like watching almost all games. , including fighting, racing, but I will not participate in it."

This is a standard talker king, and it may also be a little involved in some sports.But if you really want to say that you are a master, Chen Ruobai obviously doesn't have that kind of courage, this is the fact.

Dick was also troubled by happiness. He looked at Chen Ruobai and said, "I feel that my income is not enough now. Martha has investigated several private schools. You know that the tuition fees of those schools are very expensive, and they also have rich specialties. .She wants to enroll the children in equestrian lessons, do I want to buy riding horses for the children in the future?"

See, that's what's going on with some private schools.Those public schools don't care about this, but some private schools are different, and the threshold for some specialty courses is actually relatively high.And these are also of great help to the children's future education.

Chen Ruobai looked at Dick sympathetically and said, "It seems that you have fallen into the trap of the middle class."

This is probably not a joke, such things are basically equivalent to the truth, and many middle-class people are like this.

It seems to have a pretty good income, and it does live decently.But the pressure on these people is not small, they are also constantly trying to squeeze into a higher class, and the investment in various aspects is naturally not too small.

Just like Dick, the mortgage after buying a house, the expenses of two children in private schools, plus the living expenses of the family, etc.If there is no seventy or eighty thousand dollars, it will definitely be too much.

If he encounters some market conditions or economic downturn, etc., it will naturally have a great impact on him.

But there is no way, this is the path they chose, and they really hope that their lives will get better and better.

In any case, everyone still has a lot of expectations for the future life, and there is no need to tremble because of things that have never happened.As long as Chen Ruobai can lead the team to continue to find gold, then everyone's income will be guaranteed.

Especially now that the price of gold continues to strengthen, which also gave Chen Ruobai and the others more expectations.From about 1250 ounces at the beginning of the year, it is now close to 1300 ounces. Even if it has not reached the previous high, there are obvious signs of recovery.

Although Chen Ruobai did not dare to say that he has fully grasped the market, but now he will not sell all the gold at once. He still needs to observe the signs and 'stop losses' in advance when the price of gold is about to fall.

As for the possibility of some mistakes, these are actually not too big of a problem, and he is completely acceptable.

A better life is obviously because everyone works harder, and all of this is the treatment they deserve.

While others were thinking about starting their vacation, Chen Ruobai and the others were still working hard, working hard in the mine.Before the permafrost is completely condensed, they are still working hard, wanting to expand the results of the battle and further increase the harvest.

Although there is already frost in the morning, the breath is white mist, and the body temperature is also below zero.But this is not a big problem, people like Chen Ruobai should work hard or continue to work hard, there is no sign of slack.

Probably because everyone in the team knew that Chen Ruobai was very greedy and wanted to put the last iron coin in his pocket.

There should be no problem with it. If you are not greedy, how can you make more money?
Dewei glanced at Chen Ruobai, and continued to drive the excavator hard.In fact, in the past few days, everyone can also feel that the situation is not very good. The main reason is that the signs of permafrost condensation are very obvious. This is what everyone is most worried about.

Seeking truth from facts, the soil layer is frozen at this stage, and excavators can still break through the soil, which is not a big problem.But if it continues like this, everyone knows very well that the gold rush season may end at any time, and this is a fact.

Montgomery came to Chen Ruobai, and said worriedly, "Now we can see that the river water is beginning to freeze, some small depressions or the edge of the river, those ice will not melt all day long."

Chen Ruobai nodded, and could only admit the result, "I know, but we have nothing to do. This is the season in Alaska. If we were on the west coast, we could work all year round, but obviously we can't do that."

Montgomery joked, "I don't think the West Coast has lost all the gold. We are all aware of these things. California has experienced a gold rush, and many areas on the West Coast also have gold. Although it is developing very well there now, it doesn't mean we will Opportunities are lost and we can keep looking."

It's probably not a big problem to say that, the California side was prosperous because of the gold rush.Nowadays, there is no need to use gold rush to support the economy, and many regions do not have gold.

But no matter what, there should always be some leftovers, just like Alaska now.

Chen Ruobai glanced at Montgomery, "Aren't you tired of working in gold panning in Alaska? Many people can't wait to leave, they want to get a vacation."

Montgomery said indifferently, "I want to make more money. I need a big house, a yacht, and a sports car so that I can attract hotter girls. Obviously, the money I make now Not enough."

It doesn't seem to be a big problem to say that. Montgomery has indeed made a lot of money now, which is a little better than most people.It's just that there is a higher pursuit, which is never a bad thing.

Chen Ruobai smiled, and said immediately, "I still need to think about this matter, the west coast is not our territory."

It is not impossible to pan for gold on the West Coast.It's just that the situation over there is a bit more complicated, unlike the gold panning environment in Alaska.Of course, this environment does not only refer to the natural climate, but also various man-made environmental factors and so on.

Montgomery didn't have any objections either, although he felt that he could also consider going to the West Coast for gold.But he knows better that Alaska is the base camp, and this is the real base.

As long as you maintain the victory in the basic market, then everyone's income will be relatively basic.Gold rushing on the West Coast is, at best, icing on the cake, and there's really no real sense of urgency to speak of.

After all, in Alaska, everyone is indeed very successful, and each of them can be regarded as earning a lot of money.

Greed is never a sin, as long as there is some measure in mind, it is obviously enough.As long as you are not lost because of greed, then don't worry too much.Greed is also for a better life and greater achievements!
