Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 423 Confidence
Chen Ruobai doesn't need to worry about Toby's affairs at all now. Someone can handle some of the follow-up matters. This will naturally save him a lot of time and energy, allowing him to deal with other important matters.

This is excellent, and it is excellent for Chen Ruobai. His time is extremely precious, and there are other things that need to be dealt with, instead of being wasted here with an old scoundrel.

These can be regarded as the meaning of development. His company is constantly developing. If he needs to do everything by himself, it would seem a bit meaningless.

After all, development is often done to save yourself more time and effort, so you can concentrate on other things.The focus of my work is always on prospecting and some strategic matters.

This is Chen Ruobai's understanding, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with such a division of labor.

In his opinion, this division of labor is actually the most reasonable.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little complacent. If Robert Mining Company had more troops and abundant funds, it was precisely because of these that it gave him more confidence.

Chen Ruobai, who was in a good mood, went back to work again. Although it was unlikely that he would go to Facaixi to prospect in the next period of time, this did not mean that his work would stop. Some things there also needed to be dealt with.

After all, even if he plans to prospect elsewhere, it cannot change the fact that Facai Creek is his base camp.

There is a large mine in Facai Creek. Other colleagues have now heard about this, and a series of speculations naturally exist.Those people's envy and jealousy towards Chen Ruobai is self-evident, and they all feel that Chen Ruobai has made a lot of money there.

This time Chen Ruobai didn't ask his company's plane to pick him up, he just drove there.This road is quite familiar. I spent several hours running along it before, so now it’s good to reminisce about the fun of long-distance driving.

Looking at the valley on the roadside, Chen Ruobai couldn't help complaining, "Sure enough, there are more cars coming and going, and the environment here has been affected."

Complaints are complaints, but he has no intention of changing at all.As the biggest destroyer of the environment in Facai Creek, Chen Ruobai has no conscience. Although he has caused some impacts, he still has some bottom line. Basically, he has not caused any permanent pollution, which is considered legal.

Now it's just because there are many more traces of human activities, such as roads and so on.Compared with the inaccessibility of the place when I first came here, these are indeed very obvious and intuitive impacts.

Especially as we get closer to the mining area, the river water becomes more and more turbid.This is nothing else, mainly just some turbid water caused by mineral washing, just like the muddy yellow appearance after a heavy rain, it will be naturally purified quickly and there will be no problem.

Chen Ruobai didn't think there was any problem. Mine washing was just what it was. It was impossible to keep the river water crystal clear all the time.

Seeing Chen Ruobai appear, Devi and others just did what they should do, there was no need to entertain him.

Zhuang is now full of life. This is a very familiar place for it. The most important thing is that it can run around. Such an unfettered life must be very happy for it. It has a relatively energetic personality. In the city There isn't much room for him to have fun.

Even if you live in a relatively large place, there is still a lawn for it to play, but that has some limitations.

Seeing Da Zhuang having fun, Chen Ruobai didn't restrain him. In fact, Da Zhuang wouldn't go to some places.And there are people around, so there is no need to worry about too many dangers.

After saying hello to Drake, Chen Ruobai took his helmet and set off.

Carefully observing the area of ​​the mining area, according to Chen Ruobai's calculation, it seems that it will definitely not be possible to completely mine all of this area in a short time.Even if the gold mining season starts next year, we will continue to struggle here for about two months.

This is still based on the premise that manpower and mechanical equipment are not allocated to new mines, otherwise it will definitely be delayed slightly.

But this is not a bad thing. The longer the construction time here means the more gold will be harvested and the more money will naturally be earned.

Lesnar came over and joked, "Come to inspect our work again? We are definitely not lazy, and the daily workload is recorded. However, the mine was washed two days ago, and the gold is now in the safe. The company's No one has come to take it away yet.”

Chen Ruobai also joked and said, "Then I will deduct their bonus. Several hundred ounces of gold are still here, and this is in a valley. If someone comes to sneak attack, our losses will be huge."

Lesnar joked seriously, "That's true. Although we all have insurance, this batch of gold is not insured. If they are robbed, your losses will definitely be huge. This will be terrible bad news." , your recent loss is always there, so we need to protect it!”

This is naturally a joke, although some people may consider robbery if they are crazy and poor.But the mine is not without some preparations. In addition to the self-defense weapons brought by Devi and others, they also obtained the automatic rifle license using the company's factors. There are also two better automatic rifles here.

Although there are some people in the United States who give full play to the DIY spirit and convert civilian semi-automatics into fully automatics, this does not mean that these people in Facai Creek are weak persimmons. They can still fight against ordinary groups.

Of course, according to some customs in the United States, if you encounter real danger, you must surrender when you should, just to lose money and avoid disaster.

And even if such a thing happens, Chen Ruobai will not ask team members to protect property at all costs.What is not insured is one thing, but the mere team members are miners, not armed escorts.

Safety is still the first priority. This can be regarded as leaving green hills without worrying about running out of firewood. Everyone still follows the rules.

Even Chen Ruobai usually swipes his credit card. This is also a habit of Americans. Most of his purchases are made by swiping his card.

But he basically keeps dozens of dollars in cash on him, which is also a safety factor.If someone really puts a biubiu or a dagger to the chest, twenty dollars is the going price. If those people really want to go empty-handed, it might still be a bit risky.

Everyone is a stickler for rules, so they all know what they should and should not do.

After the joke, Chen Ruobai asked, "Do you have any ideas about team formation?"

Lesnar gets excited when he mentions this. He has always been the deputy director of the mine. In fact, this is also the tacit agreement of the team. He is Devi's deputy. There is nothing controversial about this.But these are not justified in the end. Just being a deputy is obviously not enough. He still wants to lead a team by himself.There may be a slight increase in salary, which is naturally a very important factor.

And man, even if you are just a manager of a small team, that is very gratifying.Money and power are a man's confidence. Don't worry about real power, etc. The leader of a small team is also the management. Don't use bean bags as dry food, and don't use village cadres as leaders!
Lesnar was beaming and full of confidence, "Of course I hope my team will follow the current model."

Chen Ruobai immediately shook his head, "That's definitely not possible. We are unlikely to find seven or eight more people. The company does not need so many full-time employees."

After hearing what Chen Ruobai said, Leissner did not object to this statement.The current team members all have labor contracts with the company, but when recruiting people in the future, it is probably impossible to provide such conditions. It will definitely be similar to other gold mining teams.

It’s not that those people are entitled to share benefits, but that they only get paid during the gold mining season, and it’s impossible to guarantee it all year round.Chen Ruobai runs a company, not a charity.

As for this, there may indeed be some problems such as insufficient cohesion, but this is not an absolute thing.

As long as the salary and benefits are high enough, there is nothing to worry about.

Chen Ruobai explained, "Our team is different. They are all newcomers and not technically good enough. We will definitely not be able to continue like this in the future. I need skilled miners."

Lesnar lowered his voice and said, "Just bring the mechanics into the company. Their salary will be higher."

No, even if they are recruiting people, miners can actually recruit people on a temporary basis.But mechanics are different. There is no problem in working full-time. This is also one of Chen Ruobai's plans.

The team now has Dick and Francisco, which seems to be enough. It's just two mechanics maintaining the mechanical equipment of a team. After all, Levi's team has more equipment, so such a configuration will naturally not appear to be a waste of resources.

But if another team is assembled, the mechanic may need to consider hiring one or two more people.

Lesnar said, "A real man won't leave with me, so I need an experienced mechanic."

Francisco's skills are good, but it will take some time to digest some of the work in the mine.His basic skills are more solid and his overall level is higher, but he is really not as good as Dick at this stage.

Chen Ruobai understood this truth and said, "An experienced veteran and a newcomer with a solid foundation. I think this configuration is more reasonable. Now it's time to select candidates. Do you have a suitable candidate?"

Lesnar immediately smirked and said, "As soon as the gold rush season is over, you will definitely see my list."

Chen Ruobai became concerned, "How much confidence do you have?"

"I'm very sure!" Lesnar said with great confidence. "Even if they don't work full-time, they can get a stable salary by working here, which is more secure than elsewhere. Although they may not be able to work in other places. There’s higher income, but they may also have no income.”

This is also true. If you choose to use your labor force to participate in stocks, you may have the opportunity to make more money.But the probability is not too great. Not every team can guarantee to easily find one thousand ounces or eight hundred ounces of gold.

Therefore, the annual salary offered by some paintings is 10,000+ or ​​20, which may not necessarily be what is truly obtainable.Come to Chen Ruobai and work hard for more than half a year, and you can still be guaranteed $[-] to [-].

For most operators, this salary package is already very good, exceeding the national average income.

Even if the wages of truck drivers and lumberjacks are high, it seems that the wages of miners are also high.But that’s not absolute. This type of work also has a certain threshold and requires some skills.Especially in Alaska, it's not possible to work year-round.

It's good that Lesnar is very confident. In fact, Chen Ruobai is also quite confident about this matter.

The reason is very simple, simply because he knows that his team has a certain appeal.High productivity and stability are great attractions for many job seekers. Not everyone likes to take a gamble, and stability is also an option.

There are always dragons in the deep mountains, and there are phoenixes in the high mountains."

Robert Mining Company is no longer the original two or three kittens. It is no longer a grass-roots team that looks unprofessional and may disappear completely due to some minor disturbances at any time.Now this team can be considered a well-known team in the Fairbanks area, which will of course be extremely attractive to many people.

This is not blind optimism of Chen Ruobao or Lesnar, but they really know how good the team they are on is.At least no member of the team wants to leave at this stage. They all know that the treatment here is good, and they all understand that it is difficult for other teams to achieve such a high level.

Nowadays, many people who want to join this team have no chance, so if you want to recruit talents, you really don’t need to worry about not having enough people.By then, even if gold diggers are not flocking to the site, there will still be enough people to choose from.

Selective admission is not a big problem for Chen Ruobai and others.

It is certain to be confident, because your team is good enough, and of course it will attract some people who seem to be better.

After chatting and laughing with Lesnar about the future, Chen Ruobai also asked carefully about some mining matters.Even if everything seems to be on track now, many things can still be communicated on the phone.

However, Chen Ruobai would not feel at ease without seeing some things with his own eyes.This is also his character, and because the interests involved here are so great, he cannot help but ignore them.

Devi quickly came over and was discussing the mining plan, construction period, etc. with Chen Ruobai carefully.

Chen Ruobai was listening carefully, and from time to time he would put forward some of his own ideas and requirements. The pursuit of more efficiency and productivity has always been his goal, and he has never slacked off in this regard.
