Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 487 Everyone must make progress

Whether Lawrence or Freddy, they still have some expectations for their careers and want to take a further step.

This is definitely not a bad thing. It is human nature to have some ambition, and it is natural to want to develop better.

If you just want to make progress, you also need to have enough ability. Without sufficient ability, even if an opportunity arises, it might just be a fantasy, which is obviously not good.

Chen Ruobai believes that he has built a good platform, and it can indeed provide more opportunities to some of his people. As for whether those people can grasp it, it naturally depends on their series of performances. Who can make his career develop faster?

As the business develops rapidly, it naturally requires more high-tech talents and a team of trustworthy people.

Now it seems that people like Lawrence are trustworthy, but they are not outstanding in ability. This is also a small regret for Chen Ruobai.

But there is no other way but to wait. Growth also takes a certain amount of time. We cannot expect these gold diggers and money suckers to become powerful figures overnight.

Freddy does seem to be a good choice. There is nothing to say in terms of ability, and he is also suitable for him to lead a profit-generating ship to start work.

But for Lawrence, Chen Ruobai obviously has other plans. When the two gold-absorbing ships start working simultaneously, many things will become complicated, and reliable manpower will naturally be needed.

Looking at Freddy, Chen Ruobai asked jokingly, "Do you have any familiar friends? Whether they are divers or captains, they are all very needed for us."

Freddy said jokingly, "If you just need divers, I can recommend familiar friends, and I can guarantee their abilities. But if you want me to recommend a captain, I can guarantee that there is no suitable captain, absolutely not!"

Brand next to him joked, "I can recommend captains. I know some good captains who are qualified to work on the Golden Hunter. But if they are divers, I don't think anyone is more suitable than us."

"Really?" Lawrence also broke the news and said jokingly, "It seems that I, a newcomer, is the most suitable for this job. Whether it is a diver or a captain, I can recommend it. I know some good guys. If necessary, I I’ll give them a call.”

Chen Ruobai became happy and said with a smile, "You can rest assured that even if I need to recruit new members, I will not be able to fire you."

Freddy immediately said, "Then I can recommend good divers and captains immediately. You also know that I have been in this industry for a long time, and my connections can bring in very good candidates."

Brand said without joking, "Robert, the new ship has not been built yet, and the profit-making season is still going on. We don't need to recruit people immediately. Wait until the captain and team are formed, and then contact the divers."

Freddy also said sternly, "That's true. Although our current cooperation is good, many money attractors are used to stable teams and like members who work well together."

Chen Ruobai understood what they meant and said with a smile, "I understand, I'm just reminding you to keep an eye out for suitable candidates. Excellent captains and divers are always in demand, and we have to choose these people in advance."

Freddy said very confidently, "Robert, you don't need to worry so much. You may not be able to hire the best people, but according to our treatment, you will definitely get an excellent team."

Brand also said with absolute certainty, "I also have the same view. Except for those who have their own money-making boats, divers or captains like us, we don't care who we work for, we only care about whether we can make more money! "

Now that everything has been said, Chen Ruobai naturally has nothing to worry about. He can indeed be confident enough, and his series of treatment can be very good.

If that's the case, it's not a big problem to recruit some good-looking members.

I chatted with everyone for a while and briefly discussed the next work arrangements, but this is just a preliminary plan.

Seeing Chen Ruobai taking Lawrence away, Freddy and the others didn't say much. We are all used to this kind of thing, and we also know that this must be a new way to attract money. This work is still very important, and it is also related to everyone's future development.

However, Freddy and the others also understood that even though they had been working together for a while, they had a good understanding of each other and got along relatively happily. It's just that it may be a little difficult for them to replace Lawrence.

Obviously, in this money-making team, Chen Ruobai always trusts Lawrence the most. Especially after experiencing a betrayal, even if those troubles are solved now, he will still be a little wary in his heart.

Sitting on the co-pilot, Lawrence said, "Robert, if we are two profit-generating ships, I will be responsible for managing both ships?"

Chen Ruobai glanced at Lawrence and asked with a smile, "Can you guess what I'm thinking?"

"I'm not a fool, of course I can understand, and I think they can understand too." Lawrence said with great confidence, "I am the person you trust most. Our money-making information needs to be kept confidential, even to some members of the team. Can’t know more.”

Chen Ruobai obviously does not object to this statement, because this is the actual situation. It is indeed impossible for him to share more accurate information. When it is time to hold back, he must still hold back.

This can be regarded as a lesson learned. If you have already suffered a loss once, you will naturally not be fooled again.

These are Chen Ruobai's true thoughts. When it's time to be careful, he must be more careful. He doesn't want to trip over the same stone twice.

Lawrence continued gushingly, "And if there are two ships, it also means that our subsequent ore washing work needs to be more careful. I can be responsible for logistics and management, and set tasks and indicators for each ship. Check out their work.”

Chen Ruobai laughed and asked, "What do you think? If you are really asked to be responsible for these things, do you think you can bear it?"

Lawrence said confidently, "Of course, I don't think these jobs will be difficult for me. I can take on these tasks. But I may still need to study by then. I am not familiar with some of the machinery on the ship."

Chen Ruobai thought about it carefully and said, "Obviously, you do need to continue to learn and improve, and so do they. But I may also recruit a full-time mechanic, a diver or a captain who needs some simple excavator driving."

Lawrence became more confident and said, "Those things are not difficult, they all know them. The excavators on the money-sucking ships are all fixed, and there is no need to consider transitions or complex terrain. They only need to be able to simply control the direction. Everyone can Have this skill." It seems that this is really the case. Even if Chen Ruobai is actually on a gold-absorbing ship, he can still drive an excavator to dig up the seabed.

In places like Fa Cai Xi, Chen Ruobai does not have such confidence because the terrain there is rugged and he has to drive an excavator into the mine from time to time, which is even more complicated and difficult.

There is no need to worry about this on a gold-absorbing ship. The excavator is basically fixed on the bow of the ship. It only requires some basic operations and is not difficult at all.

These are the facts, so when adding a new ship to a gold-absorbing ship, it does not necessarily mean recruiting several more people at once. It is still necessary to consider fully tapping everyone's potential.

As for other things, they are simply not worth mentioning. Just increase the necessary manpower. Such a necessary increase in manpower may seem to increase costs, but it can indeed bring more benefits.

This account is not difficult to calculate at all. Chen Ruobai thinks this is a smarter approach. He has always been eager to further his career and is looking forward to gaining more.

At this stage, the price of gold is at a low point. If you want to see the price of gold surge, etc., there is no such trend yet.

Then we can only consider increasing production. As long as production increases, profits will naturally increase.

And if the price of gold begins to recover after further increase in production, then Chen Ruobai can make a lot of money. He does not believe that the price of gold has always been around $1,400 per ounce and will definitely pick up in the future!

Lawrence, who was sitting in the co-pilot, was a little envious, "Robert, we harvested 6,000 ounces last year. If we add a new ship and a gold mining team, you can easily harvest more than 10,000 ounces of gold every year!"

Seeing Chen Ruobai nodding, Lawrence thought this was incredible, "God, this is so crazy. When others are still satisfied with the harvest of one thousand ounces or eight hundred ounces every year, you are too far ahead of them!"

Chen Ruobai became complacent, but also said, "That is only the goal of some small and medium-sized teams. Some better teams will also consider the output of two thousand ounces and three thousand ounces."

"But there are very few such teams in the whole of Alaska." Lawrence analyzed it realistically. "In addition to the factor of very few teams, those teams also have more members, and their mining costs are higher than ours!"

This is also true. Chen Ruobai's team not only harvests a high amount of gold, but also has a much lower mining cost than other teams. This is why he can make more money.

Chen Ruobai is full of confidence in these undertakings of his. He has already achieved a certain degree of success, and he also believes that he will definitely achieve greater success in the future. He has no doubt about this.

When they arrived at the money-making spot they had chosen earlier, Chen Ruobai began to introduce a series of situations in detail, and Lawrence naturally remembered them firmly.

But suddenly Lawrence became a little worried, "Robert, if we follow the tide, there will definitely be a lot of tidal flats here."

"Yes, it does happen, so the test for you will be even greater." Chen Ruobai said bluntly, "So I also asked people to prepare a high-power pump, which should make your work a little easier."

Lawrence couldn't help complaining and said, "Our current profit-making point is in the deep water area, and the place we are about to come to is the tidal flat. This change is too big, and our next work will be very difficult."

Chen Ruobai also understood this truth and could only comfort him by saying, "This is work. When working here, you must pay attention to the maintenance and cleaning of mechanical equipment. You are all experienced money earners and you must know how to deal with these problems."

Lawrence nodded confidently and answered confidently, "Of course, this is not the biggest problem for us. We can definitely solve these."

As long as you can take care of these things, it's natural that you don't need to worry too much if there are many. Even if Chen Ruobai's team is not particularly experienced, it is not a blank slate after all.

Everyone actually knows what to do. Scenes like this that seem a little complicated are actually a piece of cake and can be handled.

It's just that the difficulty has increased slightly. As long as everyone works more carefully, there is basically no need to worry about anything else.

There are indeed quite a lot of work-related matters on this day-to-day basis, but Chen Ruobai must also handle them well.

It took Lawrence and him nearly a day to clearly explain the key points of the new gold-absorbing work. This made Chen Ruobai feel a lot more at ease. It seemed that he could devote himself to the new phase of prospecting without any distractions.

It was certainly a pity not to get together with Eva. But everyone's time is not rushed, so there is no way to force it. We can only overcome it temporarily and deal with the work at hand first.

Things on the money-attracting team have basically been arranged clearly, and there should be no need to pay special attention to them in the short term.

As for the new members of the team, the addition of mechanical equipment, etc., everything is going on in an orderly manner.

For Chen Ruobai, this is a very good thing. If everything goes smoothly, his next work will be easier and he will have more energy to focus on more detailed surveys of new mining areas and so on.

That is the top priority, and those are indeed the things he should do well. It is no exaggeration to say that these can be regarded as opportunities for new breakthroughs in his career, and they are some very critical important nodes.

If I don't arrange these things clearly, I really won't be able to feel at ease.

These days can be regarded as a small rest. Although they are busy with big and small things, it is not a real vacation, but Chen Ruobai doesn't care.

At least I haven't done any physical work, and my mood is relatively happy, so I can devote myself to my work full of energy.
