Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 359
For Chen Ruobai, perhaps he really needs to consider some of his own changes, and perhaps also consider some of his own viewpoints and attitudes.There must be some changes in life, at least now I don't worry too much about money.

Some changes in the quality of life can be considered subtle, but some things at work may also need to be changed.

This also needs to keep pace with the times, because some developments are indeed real.

In the past, it was a small workshop model, where a grassroots team was just put together casually.But now, it is obviously not those modes.

So it is normal to need some changes at this time, and progress should be made in all aspects.Even though it looks pretty good now, if it can go further, it's obviously not a bad thing.

Perhaps in Kessler's view, Chen Ruobai, the boss, is too easily satisfied.He felt that if he had such excellent prospecting ability, as well as some funds, etc., he would definitely make great progress.

It's a pity that he is just a part-time job after all, and he meets a boss who seems to be a little rich and easy, although he is somewhat self-motivated, but his self-motivation is also very limited.So many times, it can only be heartbroken, and I can only follow along in a hurry.

From Kessler's point of view, Chen Ruobai really missed a lot of good opportunities, opportunities that could go further.

After ending the call with Kessler, Chen Ruobai was also thinking carefully and reflecting on some issues.

In fact, what Kessler said is correct, because now his company is of some magnitude, and it is slightly different from ordinary gold diggers.So honestly speaking, it seems that there is no need to maintain some business cooperation with the broker Thomas, because he cannot bring more help.

This is the fact. This is not about crossing the river and tearing down the bridge. It is simply that everyone wants to cooperate now and there is actually not much foundation.It can't be Chen Ruobai who stops or accommodates Thomas, this is the fact.

There is not much difference in strength, so they can be competitors.The strengths are similar and complementary, so naturally more cooperation is possible.

If the difference in strength is too great, it may be attachment, which obviously means losing the necessity and premise of working together.

It's actually not difficult to figure these things out. At least Chen Ruobai doesn't think it's too difficult to figure them out.I just didn't consider this aspect before, or it can be said that there was no need to study these things in depth.

But things are different now. Maybe we can really consider these things seriously, and we really can't just muddle along.

In fact, Chen Ruobai is also making some changes and breakthroughs intentionally or unintentionally. He is also working hard to build and develop new circles of contacts, and he is also trying to obtain more resources.

He is indeed trying hard to do these things, and some of them can be regarded as slightly effective.It's just that the progress may not be particularly rapid, and it seems a little lagging behind.

It doesn't matter, there is no need to be discouraged now, just keep working hard. You can't expect to swallow a big fat man in one go.

Thinking about these thoughts, Chen Ruobai also fell into a deep sleep.

I got up on time, took a quick shower and had breakfast.Chen Ruobai, who looks like a successful person, is waiting patiently for the arrival of his important tools and toys.

When he saw a Hummer appearing in the parking lot, Chen Ruobai couldn't wait any longer and had to rush over to receive it.

Although many people complain about the lack of comfort of the Hummer, they also say that this is an out-and-out oil tiger.But such a tough and powerful car is still very eye-catching. It is difficult not to pay more attention to such a car.

Seeing Kessler get out of the car, Chen Ruobai complained directly, "You took over the business jet, and so does this car. Is there any mistake? My toys actually give you some experience every time. !”

"Who told you not to work hard? This is your mistake!" Kessler said with a smile, "If you are willing to receive the plane, no one will stop you. If you want to receive the car, you can also Waiting at the pier, but you missed it."

This is also a fact, who told Chen Ruobai to be lazy, so now it's really hard to blame others.

These are indeed his choices, so just accept these realities calmly, it's no big deal.

After finding the car key, Chen Ruobai walked around the car and said, "It seems that you have strictly implemented my requirements."

Kessler said seriously, "Of course, you are the boss and you are Party A. We will find a modification shop according to your requirements, and they will modify the car strictly in accordance with our requirements. Even if it is just the appearance, we will not Any slack will have to be satisfied."

This is quite comfortable to listen to, but it is also explaining a basic fact.

Appearance is actually a small matter. Chen Ruobai's main concern is the internal modifications. This is the most important thing.

After sitting in the cab, Chen Ruobai couldn't help complaining, "I spent one hundred thousand dollars to get such a car?"

"BOSS, this is your choice!" Kessler said with a straight face, "Strictly speaking, the company paid more than 12 US dollars for this car, and its modification cost exceeded its purchase price. The most important thing is We know that subsequent maintenance, repairs and consumption will definitely cost more money.”

Chen Ruobai smiled. Such a gas-hungry car does consume more fuel. The average fuel consumption is 22L, which is still an ideal situation.If the road conditions are worse, the fuel consumption will obviously be higher.

"We have made some modifications to the engine, enlarging the forged pistons and strengthening the connecting rods. There are also some changes in the air intake, but this is not the most important. We have made the most important modifications to the braking system and suspension system, which can basically meet the requirements. Your needs." Kessler became serious and said, "If you find any shortcomings when using the car later, we can continue to upgrade."

Chen Ruobai naturally thinks so. Now he basically thinks it should be enough. But if he has some new feelings and needs after using the car, he naturally needs to wait until he uses the car.

After all, I basically used a pickup truck before, even if it was a modified pickup truck, the driving experience was naturally a bit different, but it was still somewhat different from the car in front of me.

These are facts, and we need to wait for the subsequent car experience.Only after using it can we know the true feelings and whether any subsequent modifications are required. Only after using the car for a period of time can we know some answers.Kessler looked at Chen Ruobai and said with a smile, "After opening a company, operating costs continue to increase."

Chen Ruobai smiled and didn't care much, "The more you earn, the more you spend. As long as there is good profit, I can accept it."

Hearing what Chen Ruobai said, Kessler naturally felt a lot more at ease.Because he knew that the expenses of some ordinary gold mining teams would not be too large. Under normal circumstances, the operating expenses of four to five million US dollars would be a sky-high price for ordinary gold mining teams.

But for Chen Ruobai's team, the operating expenses of 50 million US dollars are not worth mentioning at all. The salary of the team members alone exceeds this level, which is naturally a figure that some people find unimaginable.

But as Chen Ruobai said, the more you earn, the more you spend. If he gives his team members a combined salary of 100 million US dollars, then these people must create at least 300 million or 500 million benefits for him.

Chen Ruobai is not a philanthropist. Even though many people in the team are his friends and have good personal relationships, this is the business side.Even if you are generous, you cannot give out the money for nothing. There is no such truth at all.

Kessler continued, "According to our expectations, the revenue of the gold rush team will be very good, but the gold rush team will hardly make enough money for us this year. You also know that the overall efficiency has not improved, and we also have to admit that the gold rush team has spent money Too much money."

Chen Ruobai thought for a while and said, "If there is no trouble in the future, the money-absorbing team will ensure that our investment is recovered."

After all, he still had some greed. Chen Ruobai spent nearly a million dollars investing in the Golden Hunter, thinking that he would be able to get his money back within a year, and even make a little profit.

Such an investment return cycle seems incredible to some people, but he is still relatively optimistic. He also believes that he does have such an ability and can really do this, so this is not a fantasy at all. Tan.

As long as nothing goes wrong, his expectations and plans are really very certain to be realized.

This is not blind optimism, this is pure confidence in strength!
The new car is now in place, so naturally it’s worth being happy about.After a simple test drive, Chen Ruobai and Kessler began to purchase some supplies, which were also intended to be taken back to the mine along the way.

Kessler is not very familiar with this relatively rugged mountain road, but he has indeed been to Facai Creek several times.Naturally, he is not unfamiliar. Even if he is the management in a suit that Dewei and others complained about, it doesn't mean he doesn't understand anything.

"It looks a little bad." Looking at the road ahead, Kessler said with emotion, "When we came here last year, the road conditions were not so early, and this year's road conditions look much worse."

This is true. Chen Ruobai, who was concentrating on driving, said casually, "Yes, although the road surface has been somewhat hardened, it is the simplest hardening. The Environmental Protection Agency does not allow me to build a permanent road, so I can only accept this result. "

Kessler smiled. This was not only because the Environmental Protection Agency did not allow it, but also because the cost was too high.

So sometimes you can only make do with what you can, there is no way to be too particular.

In fact, in addition to the cost, it is also because of the environmental problems in Alaska. The permafrost and the like are indeed a test.Once the frost starts to thaw in spring, the roads will naturally start to get muddy.When it rains heavily in summer, it becomes even more muddy.

The Hummer staggered to the mine and immediately attracted everyone's attention.Even if some guys seem to be more interested in sports cars and the like, the appearance of the Hummer is enough to attract a lot of people's attention. This is a big guy.

Kessler didn't have much feeling for this car, he just smiled and greeted everyone.Even if he is indeed a manager, he still has a good educational background.Even though deep down he may feel that he cannot be friends with people like Devi, and everyone's social circles are different, it does not affect his superficial enthusiasm.

These are all normal things. After all, we are social beings, and sometimes things like human connection and sophistication are really important.Since we are colleagues, we should be friendly and enthusiastic on the surface.

Chen Ruobai is naturally not stingy. Although he likes this Hummer very much, in his eyes it is only a means of transportation and a production tool.Treating a car as a lover or wife does not exist for him.

As long as you're not messing around, there's nothing wrong with borrowing the car to go for a ride and experience it.

Morgan was in a good mood, and said to Chen Ruobai, "I liked it very much when I was in the army. You should add a machine gun."

Pointing in the direction of the warehouse, Chen Ruobai said jokingly, "The gun cabinet is right there. I remember there are two full automatics in it."

"Look, this is the difference." Kessler seized the opportunity to brainwash Chen Ruobai. "If they were just ordinary gold diggers, they would bring bear hunting guns, large-caliber pistols or more powerful rifles. But we Everyone knows that it is only a semi-automatic weapon for civilian use, and our company can allow three fully automatic weapons."

There seems to be no problem in saying so. Chen Ruobai's team is still relatively "full of martial ethics". The weapons are naturally different from those of law enforcement agencies, and they are also different from those gang members on the street.

However, legally possessing a fully automatic weapon is also a place worth showing off.Although it's only in Alaska and not in California and Washington states where gun control is stricter, there is no problem.

In Alaska, it is not easy to apply for a license for fully automatic weapons, which also requires some strength.

After taking a look at Kessler, Chen Ruobai was too lazy to say anything more. This guy was just constantly urging him, or this guy was the one who could push Chen Ruobai's career further.

That’s okay, there’s definitely something that needs to be heard.But if there is something that feels inappropriate, then of course it can be treated as a joke.

Even though Chen Ruobai knows that he has some shortcomings and knows that he has many areas that need improvement.But this does not mean that he is other people's puppets, nor does it mean that he obeys other people's opinions.

Some of my own subjectivity and some of my own opinions are definitely indispensable.
