Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 378 I am the best

Montgomery was drilling holes carefully according to Chen Ruobai's request, and he was drilling deeper.

For Chen Ruobai, through these drilling holes, he began to understand more about the conditions of this mine, and his mood became increasingly complicated at this time.

Sometimes reality is more magical than stories, and it is actually a bit difficult not to believe something.

Montgomery jumped off the excavator and walked to Chen Ruobai, "Robert, do you have anything to say now?"

Chen Ruobai shook his head and said with a smile, "I seem to have nothing more to say. Now I can only look forward to confirming the scope of the mining area."

"I dug into the bedrock easily. I even know the terrain here." Pointing to the location of the rich ore downstream, Montgomery said with a smile, "We should think of these things. The two mines have the same terrain. They are basically the same." integrated."

Chen Ruobai agreed with this statement and said with a smile, "It does seem to be the case. The trends in the mining areas are basically the same. The areas near the river are basically shallower, and the deeper you go towards the mountainous area, the deeper the ore sand layer becomes."

Dick next to him said, "I can understand that this is an alluvial flat, so the mineral sand is thicker near the river channel."

This should be the case. Although the flow and scale of this river seem to be average now, who knew how big this river was 1 years ago.Moreover, alluvial shoals are also accumulated continuously. First, sedimentation occurs in the distance, and then slowly accumulates near the river channel.

All this is very normal, so Chen Ruobai can calmly accept the current trend of the mining area.It's not a bad thing to say, because now I have some experience in mining rich ores, so I have more experience in the construction and mining of new mines.

Kessler urged at this time, "Then I'm going to take action now. I'm going to get the mining rights here."

"You have enough time. According to my estimate, extending the distance up to three miles is enough." Chen Ruobai also became serious and said, "We need to build a dam upstream, which can basically guarantee our safe construction."

To extend upward for three miles, naturally does not mean the area of ​​the mining area, but to build a dam upstream.Moreover, a certain amount of space is left to facilitate various tasks of the gold mining team. This is a factor in the three-mile distance.

Hearing what Chen Ruobai said, Kessler smiled and said, "That's okay, I need to leave here right now."

Chen Ruobai frowned, "In such a hurry to leave? You have enough time to handle this matter."

"No." Kessler said sternly, "I belong to the city, not to the mine. There is still time now. I need to find a hotel in the town to take a good shower and have a good rest. This is what I should do Things to do."

Well, even the manager of Robert Mining Company may not be able to adapt to or like some aspects of life in the mine.This is considered normal for Kessler. Even though he has been in the mining industry for a long time, he has rarely been on the front line.

Chen Ruobai didn't force himself and said with a smile, "You can go find Paul and ask him to send you away."

Dick said directly, "Paul doesn't have time. He also needs to be responsible for the logistics of the entire team."

Drake really didn't have time to leave, but he didn't need to worry about no one sending Kessler away.The bottom line is that the team is not that short of manpower now. The second general Heng Ha also has some work now, but it doesn't matter if Kessler is sent to the town.

Henderson took the initiative to take on this responsibility and just sent Kessler away.Others continue to stick to the mine. Everyone still has some work to do, and they can't get away for the time being.

No one had any objections to Kessler's desertion. In the final analysis, the division of labor was different, and no one regarded him as a member of the gold mining team.It doesn't matter if he comes to the mine. If he doesn't come here, everyone won't have any objections.

Chen Ruobai pointed to the forest nearby and complained, "I'm going to start destroying the environment."

Montgomery smiled and joked, "Don't forget that this is a forest farm, not a mining farm. If you want to cut down trees, there will be no difficulty at all."

It seemed like this was the case. If Montgomery hadn't mentioned this, Chen Ruobai would have almost forgotten about it.

This is indeed a mining farm. When I bought this land, it was in the name of a forest farm.There was no problem with these trees being cut down, and the procedures were complete, so there was nothing to worry about.

It's just that in his mind, he always regarded Facai Creek as a mine, so he couldn't react for a while. This was almost a joke.

But these things are harmless, that is, people within the team regard it as a joke, and there is nothing to say at all.

Kessler is gone, but those who stay in Fortune Creek still need to continue some of their work. The prospecting work here has just begun. There will still be a lot of work to be done, which means that it cannot stop. .

Even though they have more and more information about the mining area, everyone knows that this is just the beginning.

Even Chen Ruobai knows this truth, but he doesn't feel that he has completely found a gold mine now.

A series of ongoing prospecting work will still be carried out, and it is impossible to think about starting to live a life of debauchery and live in extravagance right now.At most, I have found a new mine, and the sense of urgency in my heart has suddenly become much smaller. Now I can start the next series of follow-up operations without any rush.

Things are just that simple. Now you can start to take your time and be practical.

Commanded Montgomery to continue drilling, but now he is further determining some of the scope of the mine.

Morgan held the probe with an expression of joy on his face, "BOSS, there is no need to worry about my job and income next year. I can look forward to it for a while longer."

Chen Ruobai nodded and said confidently, "The workload for at least the next two years has been guaranteed, and there is no problem with your income. We can definitely maintain the high-output and high-return model, and you will all make a fortune. "

Although Chen Ruobai is definitely the one who really made a fortune, Morgan is also contented with his current income. There is no need to think about comparing with Chen Ruobai, the boss, which is meaningless at all.

Besides, for Morgan, he is somewhat self-aware.There are really too many people prospecting for gold in Alaska, and he has joined several teams one after another, many of which are experienced gold prospectors.But don't look at those people who talk about the truth clearly and eloquently.

It’s just that when it comes time to harvest, those people’s profits may not be that high. When it’s their turn to share the bonuses, they will naturally have to search. This is one of the most common things in Alaska. .

The team is very good now. No matter how much gold the boss finds, it doesn't seem to have much to do with the first-line gold diggers.

But the boss will not be stingy when it comes time to distribute the bonus, which is enough for the workers.

If you envy your boss's income, etc., you can choose to go it alone, as long as you don't lose all your money when the time comes.

"Do we need to expand the size of the team tomorrow?" Morgan asked, "According to some of our understanding, there is likely to be more than a year of construction here, even if our team adds new members and new machinery. "

Dick next to him also became serious. Since he joined the team, he has been watching the team members continue to increase.He, the so-called veteran, is actually only the fourth worker in the team. Compared with the newcomers who come later, he only has half a year or one year of seniority.

The number of team members is constantly increasing, and the equipment is constantly being upgraded. This can be said to be one of the fastest growing teams in Alaska and Fairbanks. This kind of growth rate is the envy of other teams.

Without certain financial resources and strength, it is impossible to support such a team. The daily operating costs are a pressure for some gold diggers, not to mention the salary expenditure of employees, which is a greater cost pressure.

Hearing Morgan mention this, Chen Ruobai thought about it carefully, "Maybe I can consider it. I have considered this before."

Although the team seems to be larger now, in the final analysis it is just a team of gold diggers.

Even purely in terms of the size of the team, this kind of scale is considered medium-sized in Alaska, and is naturally better than a small team of three or five people.Here, it is indeed dominated by some small teams.

It's just that there are some teams of about ten people, and it's not impossible, and they can be counted.Basically, they work in relatively large mining areas, and the composition of the team is relatively stable.

At most, the output efficiency of those people's teams is far less than that of Chen Ruobai's team. Those people have worked hard for a season, and the target number is set at around one thousand ounces.

That is to say, Chen Ruobai is "rich" and thinks that one thousand ounces is nothing. Others have no confidence to say so.

I did consider continuing to increase manpower and equipment in the past. I originally thought about having Devi and Lesnar each lead a team when new mines are found. This is indeed more conducive to further improving harvests and is more efficient.

As for things like costs, they are not worth mentioning. Although the costs seem to be increasing, the benefits are also increasing.Since this is such a situation, it will be of great benefit and no harm to Chen Ruobai.

Listening to Chen Ruobai's words, Morgan and the others didn't feel any sense of crisis. Even if the team added new members, it might not be a bad thing for them, and it wouldn't conflict with their direct interests.

In the final analysis, just do your job well. When the boss is considering the development of the company, he may indeed consider adding new members.This is the case with the Gold Rush Team, and other companies are more or less following this model.

The current Robert Mining Company is developing rapidly and is far from reaching the saturation stage. It is normal to introduce some new people in the future.

This matter really needs careful consideration. There is no problem in increasing manpower. Just dig out the gold as soon as possible.

As for the current team working here for the next two to three years, or adding a few more people to shorten some of the construction period, it seems to be the same.

As long as it can save some time, it is a good thing for Chen Ruobai.

While chatting and laughing, everyone continued to complete some prospecting work, and there were still a series of details that needed to be perfected.

The day's work was over, and Chen Ruobai returned to the camp calmly. There were some things that he couldn't hide at all.He was prospecting there, and others were always paying attention to some news there, which could be regarded as representing some of their interests.

In the past two days, I knew that some good news was constantly coming out, and everyone was in a very happy mood.And now good news is constantly coming out, and everyone basically knows something about the situation.

I know that the newly discovered gold mine and the current gold mine were supposed to be one, but I don't know what factors caused it to be disconnected.

I also know that some trends and distributions of the two gold mines are basically the same, which means that there is a high probability that there is a rich mine.

This is of course good news. It means that everyone has the opportunity to make more money and work here for a long time.

Devi showed a flattering smile and said, "Robert, everyone needs some good news to boost morale. As you know, working in the mine has always been very boring, and we need to constantly adjust the atmosphere."

"Morale is low?" Chen Ruobai asked suspiciously, "I have never found such signs. I think you are a little too excited. But the good news is that I can confirm that there is a gold mine there, and it is not small. I Getting rich is the best news!”

Chen Ruobai has become rich, this is naturally true.But other people are also smiling, and they can have some soup with this boss.

"I've told you a long time ago that you just need to work hard, and you don't need to worry about prospecting at all." Chen Ruobai started to tremble now. He was confident after finding a gold mine, "You have always only had to worry about not being able to keep up with me. The speed of prospecting, rather than having no place to pan for gold. It turns out I was right, I’m the best!”

Seeing Chen Ruobai looking so confident and hearing his seemingly arrogant words, no one had any objections.

This is the fact. When he is looking for a mine, there will always be some big mines.Everyone is working hard, but they really may not be able to keep up with his speed of prospecting.

So when it comes to the most outstanding gold digger, everyone thinks that it is Chen Ruobai. This is not arrogance, this is a statement of fact!
