Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 42 Experience
Chen Ruobai and Dawson do have some conflicts in concept, but the interests of the two people are relatively consistent now.So two people can temporarily put aside some differences and talk about some things together.

However, both of them are also very clear that this is not some kind of year-end friendship, and it is not even a partner.Because once some interests are involved, the two people will definitely face each other, and they will definitely not give an inch, turning their faces like turning over a book.

It is good to be aware of these things now, and it has not reached that level for the time being, and the superficial harmony can still be maintained.

Dawson also gave some constructive suggestions, saying that in addition to controlling the flow rate and flow of water during ore washing, it can also be adjusted through the length and slope of the frame groove.It is also possible to install a nozzle in the drum to clean the ore more thoroughly.
These are all useful information for Chen Ruobai, although he will not accept all the experience of some gold diggers.However, the experience accumulated by some gold diggers can indeed be absorbed, so that they can avoid some detours.

"Looking at your employees, I know that they are all novices." Dawson pointed at the excavator and said dissatisfiedly, "If they are experienced, you can tell from when they are mining. They still need to continue training, They can’t even drive an excavator over some obstacles autonomously now.”

It is also true that some skilled excavator drivers can use buckets to support the ground to cross small pipes and so on.Some skilled excavator drivers can also pass some ditches and ridges with more confidence.

Chen Ruobai laughed and said, "At first I thought you were going to persuade me to fire them."

Dawson glanced at Chen Ruobai before saying seriously, "I don't suggest you fire them, unless you have better candidates. In this field, we need ability, but more trust. We work in a special place, and our benefits Also special. If you want to develop in this field for a long time, you need stable teams."

These can be regarded as experience talk. The gold rush team really needs to look at the ability, but the trust between each other is also very important.

Dawson continued, "There was a guy in my previous team, he was the best engineer I've ever seen, he could help me fix the mining machine, the excavator, I didn't need to pay extra for maintenance personnel to come to the mine. But that He's an alcoholic, he loses his mind after drinking, no one likes him after drinking. So I have to fire him, or I can only rebuild the team."

Seeing Chen Ruobai nodding, Dawson continued, "There used to be a few people in my team, and they all wanted to come to Aslaga to make a lot of money. But when they found out that gold digging couldn't make more money, they kept complaining. .We mine where there are no people, and if your team has such instability, there will be a lot of quarrels."

"Listen, you must pay attention to safety." Dawson looked at Chen Ruobai and said very seriously, "During my gold mining career, two members of the team lost their lives. One was driving an excavator down a hillside , one was standing under the washing machine and was hit by a stone and broke his neck. I have also been injured, and my arm has been broken twice.”

Chen Ruobai also became serious, and said, "I know, so I always emphasize safety."

"No, this is not emphasizing!" Dawson was extremely serious, staring into Chen Ruobai's eyes, "You'd better remember what I said, if there is one person in your team who doesn't pay attention to safety, everyone may be in trouble, they You will be injured and you will lose your life. If you are lucky, you may be covered by the insurance company. If you are not lucky, you will lose money and encounter lawsuits.”

Chen Ruobai nodded, but asked again, "What should I do if I encounter such a thing?"

Dawson said calmly, "I fired my brother, my own brother, just because he didn't like wearing a hard hat. So he hasn't forgiven me until now, but I never regret it. I reminded him, But he didn't pay attention."

Chen Ruobai thought for a while and said, "I will remind them too, but maybe only once or twice."

Dawson nodded, but said, "This is a smart way, and everyone will have less trouble because of it. You have to understand that sometimes you remind them that they don't care at all. A person doesn't pay attention to safety, or thinks that those safety Measures will only cause inconvenience, then the whole team will be infected, then you are in big trouble."

Dawson looked at Chen Ruobai and said with a smile, "The employee who died is my eldest son. I told him to fasten the safety rope, and I told him to pay attention to the slope and to be guided when he encountered a hillside, but he didn't want to wait. A colleague came over. He couldn’t see the suspension of the chassis in the cab, let alone the soft soil.”

Chen Ruobai was silent for a moment, and then said, "Sorry, I don't know this."

"That's his choice." Dawson patted Chen Ruobai's shoulder with a smile, and said, "I hope you make money, I hope all gold diggers can get rich, but I don't want to see tragedies happen. Life only For once, you're responsible for your family, aren't you?"

Chen Ruobai nodded, he agreed with such a statement.

"I like a stable team. All gold diggers need a stable team." Dawson continued, "If you look carefully, many gold mining team members are fixed and they will not change easily. Even in the gold rush season, They won’t add staff easily either.”

Chen Ruobai joked, "This gold rush season, my team has added three people. This team was originally just me and my dog, and my friends just joined."

"Friends, relatives, this is the best choice." Dawson laughed and said, "But your friends are not gold diggers. You need a mechanic now. If possible, you also need a logistics."

Dawson continued to pass on his experience, saying, "Six people, a mature gold mining team needs six people. Three main operators, they need to be proficient in driving excavators and bulldozers. One mechanic is responsible for the maintenance and repair of machinery. You You also need a handyman, who needs to do the unskilled chores. There is also a logistics, who also needs to take care of the accounting work."

Hearing this, Chen Ruobai was overjoyed, and said, "Then my team looks very bad. The three operators are all rookies, and there are no logistics and mechanics. If the machine breaks down now, I can only ask the engineer to come over."

Dawson said, "That will only delay your work. This is not a local area, and engineers often don't come here immediately. And once you encounter them without parts that need to be shipped from the local area, you may be unable to do so for a week or half a month. Work. You can't wait, the gold rush season is too short."

Normally, the gold rush season in Alaska is less than eight months, and if the rain and snow weather, prospecting time, etc. are excluded, the working time is even shorter.

Gold diggers in Alaska basically race against time. They understand that time is money, and they can't afford to wait or spend it. This is the essence of Alaska gold rush.

Chatting with Dawson, naturally did not delay some business, and carefully checked the washing machine.With Dawson's reminder, Chen Ruobai also learned some knowledge.

The people from the relevant departments haven't come yet, so they can only continue to wait, but these will not affect Chen Ruobai's work.

When starting to prepare lunch, Chen Ruobai really felt that his team needed someone to take care of the logistics.

Otherwise, these things will really affect everyone's work efficiency, and Chen Ruobai dare not be careless when it comes to engineers.In fact, he has always been consulting engineers, but there is no better choice now.

Either some experienced and capable engineers looked down on Chen Ruobai, or the conditions offered by those people were too high, or they didn't trust some people's ability and character.

It is really not that easy to form a team, especially the formation of a gold mining team, both ability and character are indispensable.

These things are either urgent or not urgent, Chen Ruobai will definitely not relax, but he will also prefer to be short rather than excessive.
