Alaska Gold Rush

At the beginning of the year, Chen Ruobai's conservative expectation for the fortune stream was 6,000 ounces, which he felt was not difficult.

For the gold-absorbing team, the expectation is that it will be above two thousand ounces, which is also an achievable goal.

These are naturally based on the results of last year's work. Last year, the gold mining team's harvest just reached 5,000 ounces. The profit of the gold-absorbing team was not low, reaching 1,600 ounces.

These are numbers that many gold diggers and gold collectors simply don’t dare to hope for, and it is really difficult for them to achieve them. Some of the better teams set their target at 2,000 ounces, but Chen Ruobai’s team easily doubled that.

Stable growth is also one of Chen Ruobai's goals. He does not think that the figures he has set are just some fantasy. These are still very pragmatic, and they all have a chance to achieve their goals.

Needless to say, for the gold mining team, the various production conditions in Facai Stream are relatively complete. With the team's tacit understanding and the increase in personnel, it is not a fantasy to increase production. It is strange that there is no improvement in numbers.

Although the gold-absorbing team has made some team adjustments, the upgrade of the Golden Hunter's equipment has also brought great convenience. Even if Toby's interference affected efficiency and progress at the beginning, it was just a phased trouble.

So it doesn't matter at all. When the team's tacit understanding begins to improve, and when Chen Ruobai's ore prospecting ability is still online, many things will naturally not be a trouble.

A slight increase in numbers is nothing at all. You could have found more gold!
Although it was a bit unexpected, overall I gained more and achieved the predetermined amount, which is fine.

Chen Ruobai's requirements are really not too high, so he has achieved some achievements now. He also feels that this is a matter of course, and he will not make any fuss about it at all.

This is just normal performance and level, and even because of some things that slightly reduced production, he could have made more money and found more gold.

Thinking of this, Chen Ruobai naturally became even more disgusted with that bastard Toby. Even if Toby left the money-making industry, he still couldn't change some of Chen Ruobai's perceptions. After all, a series of losses do exist.

In addition to the decrease in harvest, Chen Ruobai spent a lot of money to start a confrontation and stalemate with Toby, and finally brought him down.

Such a sum of money has actually been spent, which naturally means that Chen Ruobai has spent more, which must also be accounted for.

But these don't seem to be the most important things. The matter has passed and the trouble has been solved. Naturally, there is nothing more to say. Now everything is on the right track. This is the most happy thing.

Chen Ruobai is basically satisfied with this year's work, and it is basically in line with expectations. This is enough for him. As long as you take every step in a down-to-earth manner, that will be fine.

You don’t need to think too much about anything else, as long as everything goes smoothly. As for some small details, there are some places worth paying attention to, and the exposed shortcomings must be found ways to solve.

It's just some less important things that you can actually choose to ignore.

Not only Chen Ruobai is satisfied with this year's work, but other members of the team are also very satisfied with these gains.

Everyone can see the harvest from each mineral washing, how big the mining area is, and how much harvest there is. In fact, everyone knows very well that it is completely enough to have harvest within the expected range every time. .

As long as the expected figures are reached, boss Chen Ruobai will make more, and everyone knows it. But that doesn't have much to do with them. The amount of money he received is good, and that is what makes him even more happy.

Chen Ruobai, Henderson, and Morgan have finally completed their work. The drilling machine has been shipped back and is ready to be shipped.

Staying in Golden Mountain is actually to do some finishing work, that is, to do a little bit of protection.

This year's work is indeed completed, but it is also preparation for next year's work. Now that we are busy with some things, we can start work directly when the gold rush team comes next year.

Henderson cleaned up the site and joked, "My job content is the most complicated. I thought it was just prospecting for gold or protecting Robert. But now I know it's not just those, I also have to do prospecting and other things."

Morgan acted like a senior and pointed, "It's the same in other teams. Everyone has many part-time jobs. There are not many clear divisions of duties here. You have to work as long as you need it."

Chen Ruobai joked to Henderson, "Listen to his advice. He has worked on many gold mining teams in Alaska. His experience is very helpful and can help you better adapt to your current work and life."

"Him?" Henderson said jokingly to his friend, "He just has more useless experience. The teams he worked for before were all unsuccessful. What I need is successful experience, not failed experience."

What else does Morgan have to say? At this time, he can just show his attitude with his middle finger.

After the joke, Chen Ruobai said, "This place is better than Facai Creek. The site is more open. We just have to draw the area now."

"I think we should build water diversion channels first. During the Chinese New Year next year, the laying of pipelines will be a big trouble." Morgan's experience came in handy and said, "You definitely won't wait until the snow has completely melted before starting construction. Without a team It will be like this."

This is also true. It is really impossible for the gold mining team to wait until the snow has completely melted before starting mining. It basically stopped snowing and the temperature started to rise, so gold prospectors began heading towards the mines.

These are naturally one of the reasons why Chen Ruobai is busy now. There is no other reason than that he needs to start preparing some work in advance to make next year's work easier.

"The site needs to be divided and the pipelines must be prepared in advance." Chen Ruobai said with a capitalist attitude, "So don't think that you can end this year's gold mining season early. We still have a lot of work to complete."

Henderson and Morgan are not surprised at all, nor do they think they can leave now.

The previous removal of drilling machines and the like only meant that the prospecting work seemed to have come to an end for the time being, but it did not mean that other work would also stop. On the Golden Mountain side, there is still a lot of work that needs to be completed continuously.

It is simply impossible to start the vacation early. There are still many things to do next. After finishing this period of work, it is possible to go back and officially start the vacation, at most it will only be a few days earlier than the gold mining team in Fortune Creek. The money-attracting team has indeed begun to finish the work in an all-round way, and has basically entered a state of vacation. But there is nothing we can do about it. Gold mining and gold-absorbing are two different things, and there will naturally be some differences depending on the content.

Don't be envious. In fact, the overall income of the Gold Rush Team is slightly higher, and the efforts are rewarded.

So it seems more appropriate to do your own job first and then consider other things.

Henderson and Morgan both understand this and naturally have no complaints. This is their job. It would be best if the holiday could be earlier, but two days late is actually not a big deal.

Now I am still praying for better weather, trying to complete a series of tasks in the shortest possible time, so that I can enjoy the vacation early, instead of working in a hurry here in Golden Mountain because of bad weather affecting the progress.

It is everyone's unanimous wish to finish it as soon as possible. Now this is not a 'package', this is a 'work contract'. Only when everything is done can the holiday begin in a real sense. Of course, we need to hurry up.

Chen Ruobai looked at the map carefully and said, "In fact, zoning is not difficult. The site is large enough. Our equipment, living areas, etc. can be completely placed without causing any interference."

Henderson also had the same opinion, but still said, "The biggest problem is the laying of pipelines, how close they are, how much water is taken, and how to avoid some interference. I think this is very important. Especially considering that we need to dig for gold here for a long time. These are no small things.”

Morgan also added, "Don't forget to drain the water. This is not a difficult task, but we also need to consider some of the dangers caused. The soil quality here does not reassure me."

Everyone is familiar with the matter of mineral washing. The sewage from mineral washing is actually nothing. Under normal circumstances, it is just a little turbid. It doesn't matter if it is discharged directly into the river.

Many gold diggers want to save trouble and no one says anything about draining water on the spot. They just moisturize the earth directly.

But for people like Chen Ruobai, there are a little more things to consider next.

There is actually no big problem at the foot of the mountain, just drain it directly. But when washing ore on the mountainside, a large amount of drainage may easily cause some problems, so naturally some things need to be considered more comprehensively.

These things are not too difficult for Chen Ruobai. At any rate, he has accumulated a certain amount of experience and can be considered a relatively mature gold digger. Naturally, he knows how to classify such things.

The improvement of experience still has some effect, and it can make you more comfortable when handling some tasks.

Chen Ruobai and others are also working overtime. Now they are really racing against time, thinking about completing some work as soon as possible. These are what they think is the most correct way.

Time waits for no man, this is not something that is said casually, this is what these people are doing now.

In fact, it's not just Chen Ruobai who is busy here, Devi and the others are also watching the weather and arranging work, and they also dare not relax.

And the people in Lawrence are actually not idle. Although the work has stopped, the repair and maintenance of the Golden Hunter must continue, and the maintenance and upkeep of other gold-absorbing equipment cannot be stopped.

Do you really think you can just relax if the weather doesn’t allow it?
That is obviously impossible. It will definitely not work if these trivial things are not handled well. All of this is to prepare for next year's work. Even for people like Chen Ruobai and others, even if the weather does not allow working, they are not necessarily just drinking and playing cards.

If you can't work outdoors, then you need to maintain mechanical equipment and do some work that can be done indoors. All of this is to be able to work normally, and time must be fully utilized.

Then get busy and stand at the last post. This is still very necessary, but you can't make a mistake at this last moment.

If you make a mistake at this time, it will be ridiculous, and it will be a very unprofessional and low-level mistake. Being laughed at, etc. is a small matter, but being considered incompetent or unprofessional at work is a big deal.

I've been busy for more than half a year, but I can't make a big mistake at this time. I just keep gritting my teeth and persisting. It's only a few days anyway. If I hold on, that's it. It's not a big deal!
Normal vacations, etc., and any vacations now, they are all about starting the final sprint at full speed.

Chen Ruobai is now in combat mode, preparing to finish all the work perfectly before thinking about vacation.

He is really busy, even if some snowflakes have begun to fall now, it will not affect some of his work. Even if it starts to snow now, it actually won't have much impact on work.

The only thing that happened a little more was that I had more contact with Devi who was far away in Facai Creek. Basically, I had to discuss work matters every day, follow up on the next work arrangements, etc.

This is the real reason why we cannot have long-term plans. Let alone ten days and a half, now even for the next two or three days of work, we actually don’t dare to arrange it too fullly. It must be based on the weather conditions at any time. And make some fine adjustments to the progress of the work and so on.

He may be a little too busy, but it's not a big deal. Gold diggers are used to this kind of work mode, so naturally they won't make any fuss about it, it's just normal.

What's more, people like Devi have some experience, so naturally they won't make a fuss about it. I have become more comfortable handling some things, and I will no longer make mistakes while busy at this time.

Plans cannot keep up with changes. This may be the best portrayal of Chen Ruobai and his team's work during this period.

Fortunately, all this is not difficult. Chen Ruobai does not think that these things will disrupt his rhythm at all.

People like Devi are also full of confidence and are waiting to finish the last bit of work before starting to think about enjoying their vacation.

Hawaii is waiting for this group of gold diggers to visit. This is something that the team members have been looking forward to for a long time. (End of chapter)
