Alaska Gold Rush

Heyman blinked at Chen Ruobai and asked loudly, "Robert, how is your gold mine doing now?"

"Not bad." Chen Ruobai understood and responded, "My biggest trouble now is the lack of time and manpower. You are not a gold digger, so you may not know the specialness of this industry. We must complete this year's work before it snows. It's a pity that My current team can't finish the gold mining this year."

This is the truth. Although the volume is deliberately controlled to ensure that the girls next to him can hear it, this is also Chen Ruobai's actual situation. He is indeed short of manpower and often feels pressed for time.

Hyman was somewhat sympathetic, "It's like this every year, you always need to keep looking for new people and new equipment."

This is really the case. New manpower is often needed and the mining progress needs to be accelerated. The gold mine will never be exhausted.

Chen Ruobai still knew the admiration and said to Heyman, "If I hadn't known that you had returned to Hong Kong, I would definitely not have come down from the mine. You know that we are special. We can only make more money by working continuously. I envy you, you have your own fleet and you can return to port at any time."

Hyman complained, "I don't understand the miners, just like you don't understand the fishermen. My fleet has seven boats, and we have to fill them up before we can return to port. My time has always been very tight, and I have to work in this fishing industry." I can catch enough fish every season to make enough money, and I also want to go skiing in Switzerland after the fishing season ends.”

Chen Ruobai couldn't help complaining, "Going to Switzerland to ski? You can go to Utah or stay in Alaska. You can also ski in this way. You don't have to go to Europe."

Hyman asked back, "Why did you choose an Italian yacht? Come on, we all know that some cultures in Europe are older. Only by going there can you experience the most authentic and traditional culture."

There is nothing wrong with what Heiman said. Although many Americans look arrogant, they also know that some cultures in the United States are relatively poor, and they still stick to some European things.

While Chen Ruobai and Haiman were complimenting each other, the girls sitting next to them seemed to be getting serious.

They were just partying and chatting, but now they seem to realize something is different.

Next to them are gold prospectors and fishermen, which are relatively 'traditional' occupations in Alaska.And these two young people seem to be very successful, which can be heard from the content of their chat.

If you think this is just bragging, forget it, but judging from the reactions of the bartender and others, these two seem to be regular guests here and VIPs here. This can also prove some of their financial strength from the side.

A girl with wavy blond hair raised an eyebrow at her companion, then turned around and said, "Gentlemen, are you from Alaska?"

Heyman took a quick glance at the girl and responded, "We just work here. We're both from the West Coast."

The girl was a little surprised and said quickly, "Is it true? We also live on the West Coast. We came to Alaska on the weekend. I heard that there will be salmon migration here soon."

Heyman immediately explained, with some regret, "Then the time you came is not the most suitable. The salmon migration season is from the end of June to September, so you came early."

The girl was a little disappointed and seemed a little depressed, "Well, it seems we made a mistake. But I'm glad to meet you. Thank you for providing the correct information. I am Eva Anderson."

Haiman and Chen Ruobai also briefly introduced themselves, and then they got to know Eva's friends more naturally.

Eva seemed to be more interested in Chen Ruobai. She approached and asked, "Are you a gold digger? I have heard of this profession before. My grandfather said that my family also came to Oregon during the development of the west."

Oregon was once one of the most popular areas for the gold rush during the Western Development Period.Of course, gold is not everywhere in Oregon. Just like the California Gold Rush, there is actually quite a lot of gold in some areas.

Chen Ruobai did not deny that his profession is something to be proud of, "I am indeed a gold prospector, but this industry is not very interesting. Prospecting, then using an excavator to dig out a large amount of ore sand, and using a large ore washing machine to start washing the ore. In this way There is a chance of harvesting some gold, or of course nothing.”

Hyman, who was chatting with a girl, immediately said, "If you know some gold diggers in Alaska, you can know the story of Robert. He is the best gold digger in this industry, not even one! He has achieved great success Results, he harvested thousands of ounces of gold last year!”

Eva immediately widened her eyes and covered her mouth, "Thousands of ounces of gold? God! This is crazy!"

Eva actually didn't know much about whether a few thousand ounces was much.But she could guess some rough figures. Thousands of ounces of gold must be worth millions of dollars, so she had some intuitive impressions!
Let alone millions of dollars in annual income, even hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual income is considered a high salary in the eyes of most Americans.And those with millions are even rarer.

Heyman pointed at Levi and said sourly, "His employees can take a business jet back to Seattle when they are on vacation. His company has a business jet. His employees have already begun to settle in Seattle. This is just In his third season in the gold mining industry, his success is beyond anyone’s imagination!”

It seems that after a man has a career, his charm does rise linearly.For example, Chen Ruobai looks attractive to some people now, and his attractiveness is completely different from before.

Eva seems to be really curious about Chen Ruobai's career. There is gold in Alaska, and even some old beauties who seem to lack common sense know it.But many people understand that the gold rush has long since passed.

Not to mention people in the United States, even people living in Alaska, many people will not come into contact with gold diggers.

Looking at Chen Ruobai, Eva's eyes were full of curiosity, "Do you have any secrets for choosing a mine?"

“Every gold digger has his or her own experience, or uses some scientific instruments.” Talking about his profession, Chen Ruobai said, “For me, many people know that I like to look for gold deposits in river valleys. "

Eva then answered, "I've heard of some, and now there are some people who like to look for gold in rivers."

Chen Ruobai naturally knew these things and explained, "In Alaska, you can see people looking for gold in various ways. I am a more traditional gold prospector. My team will look for gold in the mines, and we will dig out the ore and wash it. Mine. But on the seashore, there will be gold-sucking boats to find gold on the bottom of the sea."

Seeing Eva nodding, Chen Ruobai continued, "There are also some people who will search along the river, and they will look for gold in the river bends. However, it is difficult to scale up this way, and their harvest is relatively small."

It's not that Chen Ruobai looks down on his peers, but that those who search for gold in rivers basically have difficulty using large-scale equipment, and their gold mining methods remain on a relatively small scale.Under such a premise, naturally there is no need to expect more gains.This is even considered a guerrilla force. It is always searching in the river and it is difficult to truly stabilize.

This method also has advantages, that is, the investment is very small and the risk is relatively low. You only need to put in your efforts.

Heyman praised Chen Ruobai again in time. He felt that Chen Ruobai had something to play for. "He has always been very humble, which is why he can succeed. He spent 70 US dollars to buy a mine last year. He has a gold-absorbing boat on the beach, and he should be there now." On the beach, for $100 million. This guy is so successful, he's become a big shot in the industry."

Hearing what Heyman said, Eva instantly felt a sense of crisis.

This sense of crisis came from her companions. Some of her companions seemed to be curious about Chen Ruobai, but they did not take the initiative or were not more active and enthusiastic for other reasons.

But it's different now. They seem to know something about Chen Ruobai. This may be the richest person they can come into contact with.Not only is he rich, but he is also very young.

There seems to be no need to brag, because the car key looks very high-end, that is, it is a Bentley.Even if you have never driven those cars, even if you have no chance to sit in these cars, it is enough to recognize the car logos.

Chen Ruobai is not a man of faith. In the past, he might have been more serious about relationships.But now, he may not necessarily think that he is a scumbag. After all, he has not done anything messy or immoral.

But at this time, he obviously didn't say anything about how innocent he was, and he didn't take some things so seriously.

This may not be because 'men become bad when they have money', but more likely because they make careless friends, such as Heyman.This guy definitely played a bad role in Chen Ruobai's life of eating, drinking and having fun.

However, Chen Ruobai didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He actually preferred this kind of living situation. He felt that he could continue to maintain such a pace of life now.

Maybe one day you will meet your true love and you will stabilize, or maybe you are tired of playing and plan to return to a normal attitude towards life.

But at this stage, it is better to enjoy yourself in time, and sometimes it can even be said to be dissolute.

Chen Ruobai is not a good man or woman, and Eva is not a good man or woman either.Although he didn't realize that the car belonged to Heyman until he got in the car, but when he saw that the villa belonged to Chen Ruobai, he didn't think he had been deceived.

Chen Ruobai woke up naturally after sleeping. Feeling refreshed, he patted Eva and said, "Do you need to contact your friends?"

Eva said lazily, "They have their own activities and arrangements. Do you have any work arrangements today?"

After thinking about it carefully, Chen Ruobai said, "I might go to the beach to see my money-making boat. The work there still needs to be arranged. I'm sorry that I can't date you."

Eva seemed to be very considerate and said directly, "I don't think you need to affect your work because of dating me. I am very curious about making money. This is something I have never experienced before. We can go to the beach, which is also a date." Content."

It seems to be true. As a job, making money can be said to be boring.

But for some people who have never experienced it, they can also join in the fun. This will be a relatively fresh and interesting experience.

Since Eva doesn't mind, Chen Ruobai is naturally happier. He can balance work and life. This is definitely the best state he hopes to see. Being able to achieve such a balance will naturally make him happier.

Da Zhuang may be numb, mainly because his owner brings a woman back every now and then, and it doesn't think there's anything new about it.Anyway, this has nothing to do with it, as long as those women don't tease it, it doesn't like the smell of perfume very much.

Looking at the car in the garage, Eva complained, "Are all rich people like this? If I have a car like this, I can guarantee that it will always look like new."

Chen Ruobai could understand some of Eva's thoughts and explained, "I used to be like this too. I used to cherish my pickup truck very much, even though I only bought it for $[-]. But now I have no driver or housekeeper. I can only go to the car wash when time permits."

This is also a fact. Chen Ruobai really doesn't have time to take good care of his car now, but he doesn't drive violently or deliberately.For him, a car is just a means of transportation, and it seems that it is really difficult to have other emotions.

Da Zhuang ran to the back row, which was his exclusive position.

When they arrived at the beach, Chen Ruobai proudly pointed to the ship on the sea, "Golden Hunter, this is my ship."

When Chen Ruobai introduced his money-making ship, Lawrence stood on the deck and waved, and naturally noticed Eva who was following Chen Ruobai.

He was a little unsure, so he turned around and asked, "How many girlfriends is this Robert's?"

Griffin was even more uncertain and said, "Maybe it's the second or third one. I know he has always had a female companion. But no one can guarantee whether this is his girlfriend."

Lawrence thought for a while and said, "This may be the third girlfriend. This guy is such a bastard. But I can understand, who makes him a rich man? He is very popular now."

Griffin felt that there was something in Lawrence's words because he had also just ended his last relationship.It's not because my economy is improving now, but because my relationship has faded and my work has affected me.

But he also felt that what Lawrence said was true. That guy Chen Ruobai really has no shortage of female companions now. (End of chapter)
