Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 79 New Members
Devi and Abigail's purchase of a house is basically confirmed, but that's just the basics.As for Lesnar and Chen Ruobai, they are still on the sidelines, and they don't seem to need to rush to make a decision right now.

Although some things at work made people anxious, but Chen Ruobai had no other choice but to wait patiently for approval.Fortunately, he spent money, so the troublesome things have to be resolved by the broker. He only needs to maintain communication and pay when he pays for the mining rights.

Holman Dick rushed to Anchorage and met his cousin Nathan Montgomery first.

Looking at his vigorous cousin in his youth who now has a messy beard, he can feel his downcastness from his eyes and appearance, and Montgomery feels a little melancholy in his heart.

But now he has a chance, if it's just a lumberjack, he can't help his cousin more.But this time is different, he has the opportunity to introduce a good job to his cousin, as long as he grasps the opportunity, his life can be changed.

After the two brothers hugged each other, Dick said, "The last time we met was two years ago, and you have changed a lot."

"I'm more confident because I made money." Montgomery said with a smile, "I didn't continue to work for Tom, I was working for Robert. So I introduced you, and I will bring you to make money together. We are family! "

Dick said in a hurry, "It seems that my luck is good. I just landed. It was really bad to go to sea. I could hardly get any money, so I came here when I received a call from you."

Montgomery was silent for a moment before saying, "Robert is a good friend, but he may not be the best boss."

Dick got serious and asked, "What do you mean? I contacted some people, and they all said that your boss made a lot of money."

He came here in a hurry, naturally because he believed in Montgomery.Although I haven't returned to my hometown in these years, some contacts are still there, so I will naturally inquire about the situation a little bit.

Montgomery explained, "You don't need to worry about the income stuff. He's a very good guy. He won't make excuses to deduct your salary. I mean his style, that is a domineering guy."

Dick said calmly, "I was used to this when I was on a fishing boat. There can only be one voice on a boat. Although we can doubt the captain's decision, we cannot express it, especially when the captain makes the decision."

Hearing this answer, Montgomery also laughed, and it seemed that he didn't have to worry about his cousin becoming a thorn.

But Montgomery said immediately, "We are friends with him, so we joined the gold panning team. But we also have some neighbors who have a good relationship with him, and they also want to make money. But Robert didn't agree. Every member of the team Everyone has their own job, and they have to do their own thing well.”

Dick joked, "I taught you how to drive an excavator. I was also in charge of machine maintenance on a fishing boat."

That would be even better, Montgomery believed his cousin could get the job.

After eating and drinking, Montgomery drove Dick to the bar.It's not just for entertainment, it's also a social occasion, and many people like to chat in bars.

A bar can be a great place to chat, this is not a loud and lively nightclub.

When they arrived at the bar, Montgomery quickly saw Chen Ruobai and his party, and walked over directly.

"Robert Chen." Pointing to Chen Ruobai, then to Dick, Montgomery introduced, "Holman Dick."

There is no bear hug or anything like that, and the relationship has not reached that point, just a natural handshake, which is a more formal and masculine way of greeting.

Devi looked at Dick and joked, "Dude, you shouldn't have a beard, it makes you look 40. You're not 30, we all know that."

Touching his beard, Dick said helplessly, "I don't have time to care about my image on the fishing boat. The sea is rough, and I don't want to shave. If it wasn't for coming to see you, I wouldn't even change a piece of clothing."

"I have also worked on a fishing boat. I have caught Boston lobster and bluefin before." Chen Ruobai suddenly became interested because he met a colleague, "The first job I want to get after I come to Alaska is a fisherman, but I underestimated the dangers of the Bering Sea."

Dick said naturally, "Smart choice, the work on fishing boats is too hard, too dangerous, and the most important thing is that the income is not high. Unless you are a good captain, you can get more shares."

Chen Ruobai asked curiously, "Is the fishing boat you work on big?"

"It exceeds [-] tons, and it is difficult for a small boat to work in the Bering Sea." Dick immediately introduced, "I am in charge of mechanical maintenance, not only the main engine of the fishing boat, but also its crane, winch, fish washing machine, and fish fillet machine. I'm good at mechanical repairs, but I'm not good at communications, and I still don't know how radios work."

Chen Ruobai pointed to the person in front of him, "We don't know these principles, we just need to know how to use them."

That's true, people like Chen Ruobai are not scientists, they don't need to understand many things so deeply, they just need to use them.

Dick introduced himself, which can be regarded as a demonstration, "Although I work on a fishing boat, I have worked in the garage at home since I was very young. You also know that this is Alaska. In addition to the common family cars, we also help repair trucks, Logging machines, including repair and maintenance of excavators and bulldozers from time to time."

Excavators and bulldozers can't be sloppy. These big guys work efficiently, but they are also prone to failure.Even if it is some new machines, if they are not properly maintained, it is easy to lose the chain.

Therefore, for most excavator drivers, the first lesson is to learn to knock off the soil on the track shoes, which is the most superficial maintenance method.

Chen Ruobai nodded, and then said, "I believe in Nathan, he thinks you have the ability to get this job, so I am willing to give you a chance. If you can successfully complete our job requirements, I can provide you with a weekly salary of one thousand Three hundred dollars. I know blue-collar pay is good here, but that's my limit."

Some occupations in the United States may not seem so decent, but the salary is indeed not low.For example, the income of truck drivers is even higher than that of ordinary white-collar workers.

Seeing what Dick wanted to say, Chen Ruobai continued, "There is also a bonus. The basic salary of my team is only a part, and the bonus is very important. If you finish your work well, you have the opportunity to get a monthly income of [-] US dollars."

Dick said quickly, "I can guarantee that I will do my best to complete these tasks. I will study hard and become the best excavator and bulldozer mechanic in the shortest possible time."

"Don't forget the mining machine, this is gold rush." ​​Montgomery said in a good mood, "Only when the mining machine is working, we can earn income. Don't let the mining machine stop, this is the focus of your work .”

Montgomery's words also aroused the unanimous approval of Devi and Lesnar, which is the key!
It seemed that the interview was pretty good, mainly because this Dick was considered an 'acquaintance', and he was familiar with Montgomery and Devi, so the atmosphere was naturally not bad.

Chen Ruobai looked at Dick and asked again, "You are in Juno now, I heard that you have a child and a family."

"Yes." Dick smiled wryly, and was very helpless, "My fiancée will take care of the children, and I will work in the mine. I only need three to four days of vacation every month. That's what I did when I was working on a fishing boat. It happens when we don’t go ashore for a month during the fishing season.”

This is a fact. Some ocean-going fishing boats don't go ashore for a month, and sometimes they don't return to Hong Kong for half a year or a year or two.

It would be great if Dick could accept being separated from his family. Chen Ruobai didn't want his employees to be away from the mine all day long.

"I can give you three days, you need to deal with your affairs, and then meet us in Fairbanks." Chen Ruobai explained, "Our excavator is under maintenance, you need to check our machine in advance. "

This was another assessment. Although Chen Ruobai believed in Nathan and Dewei, the mechanic was a key figure in the gold digging team, and he couldn't lose the chain. Naturally, the assessment was due.

Naturally, Dick has no objection. Life has long since made him lose the vigor and ignorance of the sky and the earth when he was young. The burden of life has also made him lose his vigor. The wasting and bumping into walls in the past few years also made him have to accept some things.

This can be regarded as a pleasant consensus, and the new members of the team seem to be complete for the time being.

With the core framework in place, it naturally means that Chen Ruobai doesn't need to worry too much, just continue to upgrade and supplement in the future, and start from scratch and then develop slowly.

Of course, his team also needs to have a certain level, the current Chen Ruobai is also qualified to pick and choose.It is very important for him to choose the right person.

Dick looks good, he knows the basics, and the family burden is relatively heavy, which means that he can work in a down-to-earth manner.

Having completed one thing, Chen Ruobai also heaved a sigh of relief, he can go on vacation in a happy mood and continue to wait for some news.

On the turbulent sea, Abigail leaned on the guardrail and vomited wildly.

Chen Ruobai smiled gloatingly, and said, "That's why I chose to take her with me. As long as she's on the boat, we won't lack bait, and the big fish will always follow our boat."

Although Abby was exhausted, she still responded to Chen Ruobai's teasing with her middle finger.I have to admit that sometimes Chen Ruobai is very wicked and likes to watch jokes about his friends.

But so what, such a face will also appear on the best buddies and bad friends, this is the real friend!
