Alaska Gold Rush

Chen Ruobai is definitely confident in his abilities, and he also believes that his reputation is not small. Sometimes there is no need for deliberate publicity, and some people will naturally take the initiative to do something.

Just like among the gold diggers, Chen Ruobai actually prefers to keep silent and make a fortune, which is part of his character.

But some things were not at all according to his wishes. Those gold diggers were willing to discuss them from time to time. Even if some people were unknown to Chen Ruobai, it would not affect those people's concern for some of his news and gains.

Who made Chen Ruobai gain so much? He achieved the results that those gold diggers dream of. To these people, this is a big shot, this is an out-and-out industry icon.

It is actually not difficult to inquire about some of his movements and roughly know some of his gains.

Kessler naturally understood this, so he was just joking, "So we have to be careful. Soon some of your reputation will spread, and some of it may not be very good."

Chen Ruobai pretended not to understand and said directly, "Is there anything wrong? I can find gold, I can find gold mines, and I am willing to share some of my discoveries with others. Will this affect my reputation?"

Regarding Chen Ruobei's shamelessness, Kessler said directly, "Share? You made me think that you were sharing your findings with everyone for free, but that's obviously not the case."

Chen Ruobai was even more straightforward, "There is no free lunch in this world. After my hard work in prospecting, there is no reason why others can easily take away the results. They only need to pay a small amount of money to make a lot of money." , this is a very good deal!”

Kessler complained, "That's how you're going to get a bad reputation very quickly, I don't doubt that at all."

If you really say that, there doesn't seem to be much of a problem. The main thing is that if Chen Ruobai is willing to sell the mining rights, the buyer will definitely need to pay a sum of money. And it seems that his asking price will obviously not be low.

Selling the gold mine that he dislikes naturally means that the output will not be too much, and it is basically impossible to make more money here.

Kessler continued to joke, "You will soon be despised by everyone. You will take away most of the profits. No matter how hard others work, they can only earn a hard-earned sum. They have borne the risks and pressure." , but I don’t earn as much as you.”

Chen Ruobai asked rhetorically, "Should they take all the money because they have put in more effort and worked harder? I don't think the jobs of lumberjacks and fishermen are easier, but their income is compared to those on Wall Street." It’s not worth comparing at all.”

Kessler was speechless. Although such a comparison seemed unfair, that was basically the truth.

Once you master the core technology, you will naturally be able to make more money. Otherwise, if you work hard, you will only be able to earn very little. This is a fact.

Of course, Kessler is not complaining for other gold diggers, nor does he think those people should earn more. They may indeed have put in a lot of effort, but if they can't find the gold mine, it means their efforts are aimless and have no results, so who can blame them?
  However, Kessler still said, "A business like ours won't be just one time, so our quotation must be more appropriate, rather than making every customer happy and worried when they want to cooperate with us in the future."

Chen Ruobai also understands this truth. He obviously doesn't intend to make a one-time deal, but he can't kill the goose and lay the eggs. That's not advisable.

So there is obviously some knowledge about quotation, and this matter also requires some skills.

As a gold digger, Chen Ruobai naturally understands this truth better, so he said confidently, "Of course, I will definitely consider the interests of my customers, and they will definitely make some money. I have done this before, and our customers I also made money.”

Kessler was noncommittal and just said, "Thirty-three thousand US dollars, this is the cost for us to obtain the mining rights, so you also need to consider this, which will definitely help your quotation."

It’s okay to say so. The contracting fee is neither too much nor too little. Chen Ruobai can naturally accept such a price. These will naturally be included in his costs, allowing him to make better quotes in front of customers. .

After chatting with Kessler for a while, Chen Ruobai put down the phone. There were some things that Kessler could help with, but there were some things that Chen Ruobai still needed to do.

After all, the current business does not belong to Robert Mining Company. In theory, even if Kessler cannot come to help, there is actually no problem.

After thinking about it carefully, there are not many potential partners, and there are two people who can be said to be the most likely to work together.

Naturally, one is Dawson. Although this broker is an old slicker, he puts profits first. But when it comes to his network resources, etc., they are not small, and they can also bring a lot of help in some tasks.

Now when it comes to finding some suitable buyers, Dawson can still provide some help. This old guy can definitely bring the most suitable customers to Chen Ruobai.

Another option is Thomas, whom I just met a few days ago. This mining agent has more connections and is basically a gold digger. Thomas actually knows which gold diggers currently have no suitable place to start their business.

After thinking about it, Chen Ruobai picked up the phone. It was a good choice to chat with Dawson for the time being. After all, we have cooperated with each other many times. Although the cooperation is not always pleasant this time, I am generally quite satisfied.

As soon as Dawson answered the phone, he said jokingly, "Robert, do you want to show off your results? It's obvious that you won. Some people will leave Alaska because of you, and they won't want to come here again." "

Chen Ruobai laughed evilly, which was called a proud one, "Really? I think this seems to be a good thing. I can completely accept that old bastard Toby paying the price after causing trouble for me, but it's a pity that I can't do anything about it." Recover the loss from him.”

Dawson complained and said, "Loss? Will you have a loss? Come on, that guy is leaving the money-making industry now and can only find a part-time job to earn pension money."

At this time, Chen Ruobai was furious and asked excitedly, "My loss is not big? I spent a lot of money to hire someone to follow him. My team wasted a lot of time because of that guy, and he also made money from me." Dot stole some gold! Man, that's a loss of at least a hundred thousand dollars!"

Upon hearing what Chen Ruobai said, Dawson also fell silent. Although he felt that Chen Ruobai might be exaggerating a little, it was basically the truth.

Many people only saw Toby's sad departure, and may feel sorry for him, but when it comes to Chen Ruobai's loss, it is direct or indirect, and this is real. One hundred thousand dollars is really not that small. It is normal to have a feud over such a sum of money. Even some seemingly more intense conflicts are actually understandable because of this.

Dawson said without sincerity at this time, "When I heard what you said, I can understand your anger. I have always said that that guy chose the wrong path. He could have been your friend, and you might have A chance to work together, but he screwed everything up."

Chen Ruobai smiled and said, "Now that things have happened, it is useless to talk about it. But he did mess up. He has messed up everything since last year. He is too short-sighted."

Dawson didn't want to talk more about this topic, so he asked directly, "You are calling me now, obviously not to show off that you got rid of that guy. Tell me, what is going on?"

The relationship between Chen Ruobai and Dawson is like this. At first glance, the two people seem to have been friends for many years, but in essence, the two people have interests first, and they simply cooperate. Maybe a little bit of friendship, but not a lot.

The most important thing is that their friendship cannot withstand any test at all. If there is even a little interest factor, it may fall apart.

Normally, two people don't have frequent contact. If these people have some contact, it must be because of something, and they must be discussing some cooperation matters.

Naturally, this is also the case this time. This is the case for the two people who can't afford to be early without any benefit. If nothing else happens, the two of them may continue to maintain this model in the future. For them, they will not consider changing it at all. This kind of cooperation model is the best.

Time is precious, so Chen Ruobai naturally stopped being polite, "You know it became a joke that I went to Dongshan to prospect, but that was only a temporary mistake on my part, and it still can't change the fact that I am the best gold prospector in Alaska."

Dawson also recognized this. To be honest, "I don't think it was a mistake. It was just that you were not well prepared, and it was just because your time in this industry was too short. Of course, if you can communicate more with these colleagues, it will obviously be better." Mistakes like these can be avoided.”

Chen Ruobai asked back, "It's definitely okay to communicate more with colleagues, but you want me to tell them the key prospecting areas? Come on, I won't tell them, and they won't tell me!"

Dawson was unable to refute this time, because he knew that what Chen Ruobai said was very reasonable, and these gold diggers didn't care about information sharing. Some information can only be known to themselves, and some discoveries should be kept hidden.

If you keep the secret, you will have the opportunity to make more money. If you keep the secret, you can ensure that competition and pressure from peers are reduced. Of course, you will not tell the truth at this time.

It is impossible to expect people in this group to tell the truth. Even if there is some public information, half of the ten sentences are probably lies. You must learn to distinguish, otherwise you will really fall into the trap accidentally. , this is also a very terrible thing to happen.

After Chen Ruobai complained for a while, he also brought up the business, "I want to talk to you about gold mines now. You also know that I have very high requirements. I have always just liked big mines and rich mines. But when I was prospecting, I You will also encounter some smaller gold mines.”

Dawson immediately became excited and said hurriedly, "Yes, I can completely understand this, and I don't think what you found is just a big mine!"

This is the fact. Large mines are not that easy to find, and some gold mines are relatively small.

Even when Chen Ruobai first entered the gold mining industry, he mined some relatively small gold mines, and those gold mines might only produce about two hundred ounces. The only thing he did well was that these small-scale gold mines were mined quickly, and it was acceptable to add up to a small amount.

Chen Ruobai said, "If I find some small gold mines, I can hand them over to you. I still have large mines in Facai Creek, and my team doesn't have time to mine them."

Dawson's eyes lit up. This was a very rare opportunity. The small mine in Chen Ruobai's eyes was not necessarily a small mine. If he managed it well, he might be able to make some money.

Dawson asked tentatively, "Do you want to choose cooperation or buy out the fee? I can give you some good prices, and you can trust my sincerity!"

Just listen to these words for a while. Chen Ruobai still understands Dawson's personality relatively well. He is a gold digger who is only interested in profit.

Chen Ruobai joked, "Where's your quotation?"

Dawson said without warning, "I have to know the size of the mine. I can't give you a quote without more information. But I think three percent is the most reasonable price." "

Chen Ruobai immediately became happy and said directly, "Three percent? Are you kidding? This price is not even enough for me to buy the mining rights."

Dawson explained, "But not every mining right in a mining area requires a high price to buy. You still have room for profit, which is already a lot."

Chen Ruobai said directly, "I don't think so. I have worked hard and found a gold mine. If it is only [-]% or [-]%, I will completely lose my interest and motivation. My requirement is at least [-]%." Thirty, it’s in my interest.”

Dawson immediately screamed, "Thirty percent? You can go directly to rob, that way the return will be higher!"

Chen Ruobai analyzed and said, "The rewards for robbery are not so high. Many small banks only have tens of thousands of dollars."

This is not an exaggeration. In fact, even some small banks do not have much cash. Some robbers succeeded, maybe tens of thousands of dollars, which was considered pretty good.

If you think about it carefully, those high-risk jobs may not necessarily make more money than Chen Ruobai's gold rush.

But there is no way. Without technology, you can only bear high risks. The return may be high, as it means you can start from scratch with just one gun, and it doesn’t require much investment. (End of chapter)
