Alaska Gold Rush

Chen Ruobai, who returned to Anchorage, has finally returned to a normal life. Being in the wilderness for a long time always makes people feel a little dazed and alienated from the real society.

Chen Ruobai actually likes places with fewer people, which are more quiet and comfortable.But if he is allowed to live in such an environment for a long time, he is obviously not very adaptable. After all, he is a social creature and cannot completely separate from society.

In a particularly prosperous big city, Chen Ruobai would also feel a little stressed, and it was too lively and not suitable for him.

So places like Anchorage and Seattle are great, as you don’t have to worry about being too remote or too noisy.

In short, Chen Ruobai has already made his own plans. He will not settle in places like Los Angeles or New York.Even though it is more complicated there and some conditions are indeed better, it really may not be suitable for him.

I originally wanted to have a few days of leisure, but some news obviously spreads faster.For example, for a character like Chen Ruobai, regardless of whether he is narcissistic or not, some people are indeed paying attention to some of his activities.

Dawson, an old guy, rarely came to Chen Ruobai's residence. In the past, we basically communicated by phone.

Looking at Chen Ruobai sitting at the door and sunbathing, Dawson said, "You won't feel envious because of my car now."

Looking at Dawson's old Porsche, Chen Ruobai said, "I have never been particularly envious of you, because I believe in my abilities and potential, and I know that I can get them soon, even better."

Dawson was speechless. He considered himself a relatively successful gold digger and had indeed made a lot of money.He was once the envy of many gold diggers, after all, he owned a Porsche.

Just thinking about Chen Ruobai, who came from behind, it seems that Dawson really has nothing to show off.

His car is indeed very good, but that's how it looks to ordinary gold diggers.

Chen Ruobai continued, "When we first met, I was a little surprised. But that was not because I was envious that you had a Porsche. I could easily afford a good Porsche at that time. I was just surprised that you had a Porsche. I know Most gold diggers don’t earn a particularly high income.”

Dawson, who was showing off his failure, complained, "I should have thought of this a long time ago. You really don't need to envy me. You have achieved greater achievements, you have made more money, and you are the most enviable person in this industry." The presence!"

No, this old guy Dawson has worked for decades to save some money.

But as for Chen Ruobai, he has entered this industry less than 30 years ago with full plans. He has a villa, one good car after another, and there is a high probability that he still has a large deposit in the bank. This is an out-and-out success, and he is the equal of other gold diggers. A success that I couldn't even imagine.

Looking back, this may no longer be appropriate. Other peers have long been left far behind by the outstanding Chen Ruobai. Now you can't even see the taillights of the car. You can only mention this successful person in some conversations. .

Dawson no longer dwells on this issue, mainly because he is a little numb now.He had long seen that Chen Ruobai was unusual and knew that Chen Ruobai's achievements were unimaginable by others.

Comparing yourself with such people is just adding to your troubles. It can only increase your blood pressure, but not how much your wealth can be improved. This is not a cost-effective thing.

Dawson was not joking. He came here for business this time, "I want to talk about cooperation with you. Many people want to cooperate with you."

Chen Ruobai said narcissistically, "I'm not surprised at all. There are too many people who want to cooperate with me. But now I doubt whether these people can help me and whether they can create more wealth for me. If there are not enough If there are too many benefits, I think there are no basic conditions for cooperation.”

Dawson naturally understood this and continued, "Of course, so this is cooperation, not charity or gifting. Their ability is not as good as yours, but they have a team and machinery, and they only need the information you provide, so You can save a lot of time, and you can also take away part of their income.”

This method of cooperation is actually very straightforward, and is even relatively common in Alaska.

The most common method of cooperation in the Alaska gold mining industry is actually that the mine owner provides the land, the gold prospectors bring equipment and teams to mine, and then everyone takes their own part of the harvest.

And now someone wants to cooperate with Chen Ruobai, the condition is that Chen Ruobai finds a good gold mine, and the rest is for those teams to go gold mining, and Chen Ruobai can directly enjoy the share.

It sounded good. Chen Ruobai was a little excited for a moment, but it was just a little excited.

Looking at Dawson, Chen Ruobai did not hide anything, "I have considered this matter before. You should know that someone once approached me and wanted to cooperate in this way, but I refused."

Dawson nodded. He naturally knew that someone had indeed approached Chen Ruobai before, and he also knew that someone had mentioned this method of cooperation.

However, Dawson continued to try to persuade Chen Ruobai, "I know those things, but the chips they offer are not good enough. They will take most of the income, which is definitely not cost-effective for you."

Chen Ruobai nodded. He had rejected such a proposal before, naturally because he felt it was not cost-effective.He wants to take away most of the benefits. He believes that his work is the most important. Of course, he needs to take the absolute initiative and take away the vast majority of the benefits. In his opinion, these are the basis of cooperation.

Other gold diggers don't think so, although they all admit that Chen Ruobai's work will be very important.If you just allow yourself and your team to take risks, and after putting in enough effort and time, you can only get some scraps and earn some hard-earned money, then obviously you can't continue the discussion.

For those gold diggers, agreeing to Chen Ruobai's conditions means working for him, which is definitely unacceptable.

Chen Ruobai spread his hands and said helplessly, "Look, we can't continue talking. I will definitely take the most money, and I will have absolute dominance. My conditions are very harsh, no one will I am willing to accept such conditions.”

Dawson said jokingly, "Although your conditions are very harsh, I think someone will be willing to accept it. There are too many teams in Alaska that cannot persist, and many gold diggers are already on the verge of bankruptcy. As long as you can give them Hopefully, they can lower their share and work hard for you.”

It seems that there is really no big problem in saying this, because the actual situation is almost the same.When there is no retreat or choice, even if the conditions are harsher, there are still people who can accept it.

Hearing what Dawson said, Chen Ruobai fell silent.He didn't dare to continue answering. He was just joking half-heartedly. If Dawson followed the stick, it would be embarrassing if he took it seriously.

Based on Chen Ruobai's understanding of Dawson, this old treacherous guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Most of the time, there is something in his words. Many times, he is constantly testing, and there will be some "excessive" behavior.

Dawson continued, "Many gold diggers work hard all season just to stay afloat. They dream of finding a thousand ounces, but in the end they probably only find a hundred ounces of gold. They want to make a hundred Thousands of dollars, but after working hard for a season, they may only make ten thousand dollars.”

Dawson is not exaggerating when he says this, because this is the reality, and this kind of thing happens time and time again in Alaska.

Especially some novice gold diggers, all of whom come here with the dream of getting rich, as if they can dig gold anywhere they look, as if they can become millionaires or multi-millionaires in the next moment.

But in the end, many people will be unable to survive and will soon be hit.What was once an ambition has turned into a torment, and they will be very nervous and cramped throughout the gold mining season, because they will know how difficult the gold mining industry is.

It is not an easy thing to make money, especially if you want to make a fortune by digging for gold, it is not an easy thing.

This requires enough experience and enough luck. Not to mention tens of millions or millions, if you can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars in a season, it is a great success for most gold diggers.

Dawson looked at Chen Ruobai and continued, "If working with you can guarantee an income of one hundred thousand dollars, it is enough for many people. They only need to work for four or six months to earn a lot of money. A year’s income.”

Chen Ruobai immediately shook his head, "Many of my team members do not have such an income. It is impossible for me to make other people's income higher. I can only take care of my team first. I don't want to destroy the good chemical reaction now."

This is definitely Chen Ruobai's innermost thoughts. He naturally does not give benefits to outsiders, and only takes care of outsiders when he loses his mind and goes crazy.

Dawson explained, "I understand your concern, but those people are also taking risks, and they may make a hundred thousand dollars, or they may only make thirty thousand dollars. But your team members are different. Their income will be different." Guaranteed."

Chen Ruobai still smiled and shook his head, "If such conditions are offered, I can form a new team by myself and ensure that I have absolute initiative. I can better arrange the work instead of just having some suggestions."

Cooperation, of course, has some prerequisites. If it cannot take the lead, in Chen Ruobai's opinion, there is no value in cooperation.

The so-called risks are not worth mentioning. After all, if Chen Ruobai really finds a gold mine, there will basically be no risks.As for the cooperation partners, they are all ready-made, so there is no real risk!
If we really want to cooperate with those so-called teams, it is really better to form a team by ourselves.At that time, I can directly arrange the work, instead of just watching other gold diggers perform freely.

Chen Ruobai would never do such a thankless thing, because it was really not cost-effective.

Dawson looked at Chen Ruobai and asked seriously, "Didn't you consider the cost of time? It's impossible for your team to dig out all the gold in one season. Your time is very precious and valuable. And now you have found a new building." Mine, you probably won’t need to continue prospecting for two or three years.”

Chen Ruobai was speechless. Some news spread very quickly, which made people feel a little unexpected.

I have indeed found a new mine here. According to my current team size and work efficiency, it is true that I will not be able to complete all the gold mining work in the next two to three gold mining seasons.

If this is the case, Chen Ruobai seems to be idle. Even if he finds some gold mines, it is obvious that he will not be able to dig them out in time. The efficiency of his team's gold mining will definitely not be able to catch up with his prospecting speed.

If you put it that way, Dawson seems to have some basic conditions when it comes to cooperation.Those potential partners can buy him some time and can mine the gold mines that cannot be mined in time. This seems to be their value.

If that's the case, it seems to be no problem. Dawson's ability to become a successful broker is obviously not just because he has been in Alaska all year round, or because he is a senior in the gold mining industry.

He has a wide range of news channels and can collect some valuable information. This is indeed the reason why he is still active in the gold mining circle. He has his own value of existence.

However, even if some news is known quickly, it does not mean that it is an absolute success, nor does it mean that it is [-]% accurate.

For example, Dawson knew that Chen Ruobai had found a new mine, and even roughly guessed the size of some new mines, etc.

However, he didn't know that Chen Ruobai wanted to add a new team, and he didn't know that Chen Ruobai's team was about to expand its recruitment.

It seems that some information needs to be disclosed in a timely manner to prevent some people from overthinking it. Some rumors can also be released in advance, so that 'people with lofty ideals' can defect to it and more capable gold diggers can be selected.

By the way, let’s complain about some people like Jones. Chen Ruobai’s team has just started public relations and has just begun to lay some foundations for the preliminary construction of the new mine. People like Jones have leaked some news.

As expected, we can't believe what those politicians say. Sometimes those guys are just trying to be smart.

Although he did have some complaints in his heart, Chen Ruobai couldn't do anything about it.He also knew very well that once his new mine started the preliminary work, some information could not be kept secret. This was considered semi-public information, and those who were interested could definitely find some clues.

But you still have to be careful in the future. Now it's not a big deal to leak some information in advance.But we can't take it seriously, because some people are more successful than others, and some people just can't see the good of others.

Be careful, don't wait for things to happen, don't rush to show off, and being low-key is not a bad thing. (End of chapter)
