Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 7 Team
Leisner and Devi were worried. They knew that Chen Ruobai had been indirectly blind almost throughout the winter, and had also lost his job a while ago.They originally thought that Chen Ruobai had gone to the coastal area to find a job, and they had been unable to get through to the phone or reply to the messages these days, but now he suddenly appeared to ask for help.

Devi, who was sitting in the co-pilot, thought for a while and said, "I'd better call him, I'm worried that he might be spotted."

Lesnar said, "I don't think those people will look at Logan. He is very strong. I haven't heard that people here have too many strange hobbies. Although Vivienne is fatter and older, she It’s a woman, and when many miners and loggers have no choice, they still take care of her business.”

The two brothers were worried while driving.

After driving more than 40 kilometers along the path, they saw a figure in the distance.With a rifle on his back, and a dog on a leash.

As long as it's okay, it seems that Chen Ruobai is just catching up at night.But this needs to be wondered, why is it like this?
Devi and Lesnar startled when they got close.Chen Ruobai looked a lot thinner, and his body was also dirty. This guy didn't look like he went out to work, but rather like he was arrested and worked as a coolie.

Opening the car door, Lesnar immediately asked concerned, "Dude, why are you in such a mess?"

Chen Ruobai who climbed into the car immediately said, "Water, you must have brought water and bread, right?"

Chen Ruobai thought too much, there was no shortage of guns or condoms in the car, but there was really no bread and water.If you want to fill your stomach, you can only go home quickly.

Dewei turned his head to look at Chen Ruobai, and asked again, "Brother, what's going on with you?"

Chen Ruobai was surprised, "Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be with your Abigail?"

"You suddenly called for help, we are worried that you are in big trouble." Pointing to the gun in the back seat, Devi said angrily, "I brought the big guy, we will definitely take you home."

Chen Ruobai, who was more moved in his heart, joked, "I'm not an easy guy to deal with, and I won't get into those troubles."

"Who can guarantee it!" Lesnar said calmly while driving, "Remember the Jesse I mentioned to you? He was a marine, but he was killed by a bullet flying from nowhere. My Uncle is the best hunter, but he died in the misfire of his companion's gun, I never thought it was misfire, it was murder."

Chatting, this also returned to the town, back home.

Chen Ruobai thought for a while, looked at his two friends sitting in the living room and said, "I'm going to pan for gold."

Devi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We guessed it too. You must be panning for gold from your appearance. Robert, I know you need money and a job, but you shouldn't go to the river to pan for gold alone. Too dangerous."

Lesnar also said, "Yes, you shouldn't go gold panning alone, especially if you don't have any gold panning experience at all! We all know that there is a lot of gold in Alaska, but there are too few people who can find gold. Bankruptcy, waste of time!"

Chen Ruobai immediately triumphantly took out the bottle from the pouch, "Brothers, look at my harvest!"

Lesnar and Devi immediately stared straight into the bottle.They could see very clearly that there was a dense layer of gold dust in the bottle, and they actually found gold!
Chen Ruobai took a sip of water happily, and began to feed the impatient Da Zhuang dog food.

Chen Ruobai who opened the refrigerator said, "I'm going to sell the gold tomorrow, and I should be able to exchange it for four thousand dollars."

Devi opened the bottle and poured some gold on the table, carefully pushed aside the gold dust, "You still need to use a magnet to remove impurities, no one is willing to accept gold sand like yours. Robert, you don't have the procedures, right?"

"I picked it secretly, you must all know." Chen Ruobai knew that these things cannot be kept secret, "But it doesn't matter, there are many people who secretly mine gold, so I won't be in trouble like this."

"Indeed there will be no trouble, you have too little gold here." Devi said with a smile, "but you still need to pay attention to safety and don't let people catch you. If you find more gold, you can sell it When the gold is dropped, their quantity will be recorded in the system, and the people in the Bureau of Mines will know this."

Seeing that Chen Ruobai didn't seem to understand, Dewei continued, "When mining gold, the government will ask for about [-]% of the harvest. If you hide the harvest, it doesn't matter, they may only become black goods. But when you want When exchanging money, it is difficult to prove your property and income, and the IRS will not let you go."

Well, death and taxes are inevitable, don't mess with anyone and don't mess with the IRS.

And once the government agencies start to get serious, many things can't be hidden at all.

Chen Ruobai's current income is not worth fighting, but if he is unlucky, he might encounter some troubles.

"Damn it!" Chen Ruobai said angrily, "They didn't participate in any action, but if they want to take away [-]% of my harvest, I still have to consider filing taxes. My income has dropped a lot!"

Lesnar joked, "But you dig up gold on their land, and you should pay a mining fee for it."

This is when the public says the public is right and the woman says the woman is reasonable, Chen Ruobai also knows that he must pay attention to these things in the future.But at this stage, there is no need to pay too much attention to it. His little gain is really not worth mentioning.

After thinking for a while, Chen Ruobai looked at Lesnar and asked, "Do you want to go panning for gold with me? I found gold, and I can give you [-]% of the harvest. I need people now, and the work there is too tiring. "

Lesnar froze for a moment, and asked seriously, "How long can your mine continue to mine?"

"I don't think it's a problem to spend a week. This is what I gained in a week." Chen Ruobai said, "But I spent three or four days on the road. If you start working with me, our efficiency will be even higher."

Lesnar thought for a moment, then asked again, "A week? It would be nice to get an ounce of gold a week. But why don't we keep digging for gold there? You've found it, there must be more of gold."

"It's just a small river bend, and there isn't much ore." Chen Ruobai also said helplessly, "If you join the team, we will sell the gold tomorrow, and we will prepare supplies and leave."

"Hey, I'm still here!" Devi was not happy, and said, "And I, I am also your good friend, why don't you invite me to work together?"

Chen Ruobai looked at Dewei, and said rationally, "You have a job, you have a girlfriend, would you like to go to the wilderness with me to pan for gold?"

"As long as I can make money, then I will go there." Devi said clearly, "The income of loggers is not high, it is very dangerous and very hard work, but I can only earn less than four hundred dollars a week. income."

That's the difference, the difference between making $[-] a week and making $[-] a week is huge.

Chen Ruobai thought for a while and said, "Of course I'd be happy if you joined the team. My method of digging pits is too primitive, basically using manpower. But it's very small. After mining there, I will continue to look for gold mines."

Dewei probably understood what Chen Ruobai meant, and said, "You will ask me to give up my job and join the gold digging team?"

"Yes." Chen Ruobai nodded and said, "I can't just let you go there while panning for gold. Finding gold mines is what this team should do."

Devi thought for a while and said, "I will join, and I will seize the opportunity during this time."

Chen Ruobai immediately showed a smile and said happily, "Then you are about to start preparing. I will sell the gold tomorrow. I will prepare supplies and food. You should also bring your own clothes and sleeping bags. Don't forget to bring your shotguns." .”

"I have begun to regret it, the environment may be more dangerous than I thought."

"I seem to understand why you look so bad. Gold mining is really hard work."

That being said, Devi and Lesnar went home and started preparing.They are originally the bottom of society, hard work is nothing, as long as they can make money.

And Chen Ruobai also took a bath comfortably, lying on the bed, he soon fell asleep, and the feeling of going home was very good!
