Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 397
If some troubles can be solved by spending money, Chen Ruobai would naturally not object to such a thing.

However, there are prerequisites for this. The first one is that the money is within the scope of one's own responsibility, and that this money can get visible returns, whether it is direct realization or hidden benefits. In short, this Money cannot be wasted.

On the other hand, of course, such a sum of money would be 'legal' when needed, and he didn't want to cause any trouble for himself.Even if some of the things you do may not be completely legal, they won't cause too much trouble.

As long as these prerequisites are met, Chen Ruobai feels that spending money is acceptable.

As it is now, it would be nice to sponsor a study tour and have the Mining Department in Fairbanks go on a study tour to Florida, which is a good thing.After they return from the inspection, they can provide better services to gold diggers like Chen Ruobai and bring advanced experience from colleagues from other places. This is a good thing.

Since it is a good thing, it is natural to support it.After all, Chen Ruobai wants to become bigger and stronger, and has no intention of just playing small things all the time, so it is necessary to strengthen some connections with the outside world.

Kessler is quite proud. He has always been relatively confident in his abilities. He also believes that what he needs is a better platform.

And now it is very good. Although Robert Mining Company is not large in scale, this small company has great potential.Today's companies are actually healthier and more promising than some larger companies.

"Dawson came to me again and mentioned the matter of cooperation." Chen Ruobai looked at Kessler and said some things of his own, "Actually, I am also considering it. You also know that my prospecting ability is very good, but I There is no more time now."

Kessler understood what Chen Ruobai meant and asked seriously, "Robert, do you think the team can't keep up with your prospecting speed?"

Seeing Chen Ruobai smiling and saying nothing, Kessler naturally understood what Chen Ruobai meant.Think about it carefully, this is really the case.

As it is now, Fortune Creek now has two proven mines.One is being mined, and according to Kessler's expectations, it will probably take a gold mining season to complete.And the other gold mine that has not yet been mined must have a mining cycle of at least two gold mining seasons.

Judging from such an expectation, everyone's work efficiency really can't keep up with Chen Ruobai's prospecting speed.

This phenomenon is not just now, it has been like this a long time ago.In the past, when everyone was working hard, Chen Ruobai had already found a new gold mine. Chen Ruobai's team never had to worry about work stoppages.

Kessler thought for a while and then asked, "Didn't you already confirm that a new team will be added tomorrow?"

Seeing Chen Ruobai nod, Kessler asked again, "Isn't this enough?"

Chen Ruobai explained with a smile, "If it were in the past, I think it might be good if a gold mine could mine three hundred ounces. But since last year, I think the benefits that such a gold mine has brought to me have been very low."

Kessler rolled his eyes, not even bothering to say anything.This is what Chen Ruobai dared to say. If other gold diggers said it, they would be considered to be bragging. This is no longer an exaggeration, but a complete lack of understanding of the sky and the earth.

What's even more terrible is that Kessler even thinks that what Chen Ruobai said makes sense. Some of these statements do not make sense to other people, but they still make more sense to Chen Ruobai, because he does have such strength.

Chen Ruobai also continued, "If it only takes my team a month to complete the work there, I will be more satisfied. But if it takes longer, I think it is no longer cost-effective."

Kessler seemed to understand and asked, "You mean the kind of place where the gold content in the ore is relatively low, but the total amount is good?"

Chen Ruobai nodded and said, "That's it. Not every gold mine is a rich ore. Some gold mines are like this. The gold content is very low, but the mining area is large enough and there is enough ore sand. Maybe there is some gold."

This time Kessler felt embarrassed, because the fact was that some of these gold mines seemed to have little value.But if you really want to give up, it will definitely make you feel reluctant.

Chen Ruobai also continued, "Those guys have very high requirements, especially some newcomers. They have always worked in rich mines. When they entered the gold mining industry, they were already accustomed to high productivity. If they were allowed to work in such a gold mine, those Guys would have gone crazy and thought it was a failure."

Kessler complained, "Then they should be allowed to go to other mines for further training, so that they can see the true meaning of the gold mining industry!"

It seems that it is really necessary. There are too many newcomers in the team. From the beginning, they have been "big fish and big meat". Not only their appetite has become bigger, but their vision has also become higher. If you are not careful, they will become big-eyed and weak-handed.

This is not a good thing. This impetuous trend needs to be curbed. 'Studying' seems to be a good choice.Let them go to other gold mining teams and let them see what it is like for a team of five or six people to only harvest [-] or [-] ounces in a gold mining season!

Seeing Chen Ruobai's thoughtful look, Kessler said silently, "They actually learned from you. You are just like them. You don't look down on some small mines at all now. The small mines you think of are other gold mining companies." A rich mine in the eyes of customers!”

Chen Ruobai didn't know how to answer this time, because it seemed to be the case, and he was actually quite arrogant.

There is nothing that can be done about this. Who has allowed him to continue to be successful? It is not just as simple as success.

After entering the gold mining industry, Chen Ruobai has been developing rapidly. He has gained more and more and his requirements have become higher and higher.Some people who thought they were big mines when they first entered the industry now think they are just average.

This is also part of progress. It can’t be said that it’s just drifting away. It probably means that the experience is getting richer and richer, so I am becoming more and more confident. I know what level I can achieve and understand more clearly what I can do. What kind of wealth is created.

Seeing that Chen Ruobai was silent, Kessler also said, "If we encounter gold mines that take a long time to mine, it is indeed a thorny problem for us."

Chen Ruobai nodded and said, "I have had this kind of trouble before. It's just that our foundation was poor before, but I couldn't make a better choice. I need to care about every gold mine and finish mining it."

Kessler is better able to understand this, because he knows that these are real, and he may continue to encounter similar problems in the future, which are really tricky.Looking at Kessler, Chen Ruobai said, "You may know something about Dawson and I. We used to mine in his mine. I found a second mine and he wanted to transfer the mining rights to others. I chose Instead of giving up, I only have to pay the transfer fee. It’s not because I’m afraid of going to court with him, but I think it’s not worth it.”

Kessler immediately pointed at Chen Ruobao and laughed, "I know about this incident. The members of the team are very angry about it, especially Javier and Ryan. They all think that it was the first real experience after entering this industry." betray."

There is no problem if you really say that. Dawson's 'going back on his word', although this is also the payment of liquidated damages according to the contract, etc., is essentially part of the betrayal.This kind of thing is also common in Alaska. Gold diggers are actually a group of profit-seeking characters, and it is human nature to pursue profit.

The betrayal that time was not just Dawson, but also the team members who chose to leave on their own initiative, which was quite shocking.

Kessler continued with a bad smile and said, "They are always discussing this matter. They all think that you chose to leave there because you knew there was no greater potential there. Although you never admit this, we all know it. !”

Chen Ruobai just smiled and did not deny this. Let alone Chen Ruobai's team members, Dawson was actually able to react to this matter now, but some people just refused to admit it.

At first it looked like he was leaving in despair, thinking he had suffered a big loss.But looking at it now, Chen Ruobai made almost all the money, leaving no profit margin for others.Perhaps he chose to leave just because Chen Ruobai judged that there was not enough potential there, even though it seemed quite productive at the time.

Chen Ruobai further said, "I don't want to discuss the past, but sometimes it's like this. The mining area is large enough, and everyone thinks it's a big mine, but the quality of the ore is not good enough, which just makes me feel like it's a waste of time."

Kessler nodded and said, "Such a gold mine has very bad potential for you and the company."

If you cannot produce more gold and make more money, you will naturally be labeled as 'bad'.

There is nothing to say about this. Gold diggers like Chen Ruobai are just so realistic.Washing out more gold in the shortest time is what they want to see.

A gold mine that can produce three hundred ounces of gold in one month is considered a large mine, but if it produces three hundred ounces of gold in three months, it is somewhat uninteresting.

This does not mean that the total amount is high, this is also a story of getting more gold in the shortest time.

Kessler looked at Chen Ruobai and said, "So you mean those gold mines can be cooperated with others?"

"I have such considerations, but I still want to maximize my profits." Chen Ruobai said frankly, "You also know how much I care about money. I don't want others to make even one cent from me. I want to Squeeze out every penny of profit!"

Kessler had no doubts about what Chen Ruobai said. He felt that Chen Ruobai was such a contradictory person.

It can also be said that this kind of thing is not contradictory at all. When it comes to people in his own team and company, Chen Ruobai is a relatively good boss and can provide a good job and relatively good salary.

But for people outside the company, he is basically not generous at all.Taking away almost all the profits is what he wants to see. It seems like he wants to let others work for him without spending a penny.

Chen Ruobai can really do such a thing, and everyone in the company knows that this is Chen Ruobai's character.

But they didn't think there was anything wrong with this, because they were in Robert Mining Company and they were not the ones being exploited.So when it comes to empathy and so on, it is obviously impossible. They may only gloat from the sidelines. They are more likely to think that their choice is the right one.

Kessler thought about it carefully and said, "If we find such a gold mine, our company's team is really not suitable to dig it. It will take too long. So it is very important to find the right partner, but how can we do it?" Ensuring our interests is also very critical.”

The trouble lies here, how to ensure the interests, these are Chen Ruobai's biggest headaches.

Cooperation, he has never actually closed the door to cooperation. He is just trying to gain more leverage and seize the initiative, rather than directly rejecting any possibility.

Chen Ruobai also said, "This is the most difficult part. I can make some rough calculations. We can get a number and know how much gold is there. But other people can also speculate, and they can also judge. They can also I want to fight for benefits, and I also want to get more benefits.”

"And we also have to consider management, the management of the work cycle, and the supervision of ore washing." Kessler added, "This will be a very troublesome matter. If we cannot handle these things well, our interests will suffer. .”

Naturally, this is the truth. Chen Ruobai could only say, "If it were our team, we might not have these worries. But if it is cooperation, we are only in a cooperative relationship and cannot affect other people's teams."

Kessler spread his hands slightly, everyone actually understood the reason and knew that it was not that easy to do so.

If you want to find the best of both worlds, you have to put a little more thought into it.Even if you try hard to find a solution, you may not be able to get the most ideal solution.

This matter really needs to be carefully considered and measured. Even if a perfect solution cannot be found, a method that seems to be more in line with the interests of all parties needs to be found.

Only by doing this can you avoid thankless tasks. You can't work for others. You have to ensure your own initiative and benefits.

It seems that things are going to be quite busy next. Chen Ruobai is not only on the front line now but has a heavy prospecting task.A lot of management work has begun one after another, and these things also require him to spend some time and energy.

There is no way, who makes him the boss? The development of Robert Mining Company is closely linked to his interests.
