Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 149
Panning for gold is Chen Ruobai's job, and he has higher and higher demands on himself and his team.Some small gains are not in his eyes at all. He needs to find bigger gold mines and dig out more gold so that he can make more money.

The accumulation of experience has also become more and more abundant. Several gold panning and experience in several mines have also made him handy in the preparation work in the early stage. He knows how to prepare efficiently and how to improve efficiency.

The most important thing is wasting money, and he won't spend too much now. He knows what he needs and what things are necessary.

Portis felt the mine and was very happy to see Chen Ruobai. A warm hug made people feel a little overwhelmed.

Up to now, Chen Ruobai doesn't particularly like to hug when they meet, especially when two big men hug, it always feels weird.Furthermore, the weather is getting hotter now, and people in Europe and the United States generally have some body odor, which is even more tormenting.

It's just that there is no other way, just treat it as doing as the Romans do, and it is obviously impossible not to accept these.Then you can only work hard to overcome it. Fortunately, it is just a superficial article, and the problem is not too big.

"According to our current layout, the requirements for the living quarters are very simple." Chen Ruobai said with a smile, "I can accept any one-off prefabricated houses, as long as you ensure that they do not affect our health and safety."

Portis immediately joked with a smile, "I will choose the thinnest logs, so as to ensure that there are no harmful substances such as formaldehyde. You don't need decoration, and the requirements for sound insulation are not high, so the cost can be greatly reduced."

That's what he said, but Portis still said, "But it's going to be summer soon, and you also know that prefabricated houses are not heat-resistant."

"It's okay, we may only be working for a short time, so we don't have to worry about that for the time being." Chen Ruobai smiled and said, "If it is really necessary, then we can only use the air conditioner. Fortunately, the summer in Alaska is not particularly hot."

Hearing what Chen Ruobai said, Portis naturally understood.It seems that there is no need to think about summer, which naturally means that there is no need to think about winter, so this time the prefabricated house can keep everything simple.

Cost saving is also one of Chen Ruobai's requirements, and what can be saved must be saved.Everyone is here to work, not to go on vacation. Of course, you don't need to think about things like vacation cottages, as long as it doesn't affect your normal life and work.

Portis thought for a while and said, "No problem, it will definitely be completed within two weeks, but you need to take me to see the site."

This is also natural. The living area cannot be built casually, and it must not affect the work in the construction area.

These things must be investigated in advance. If these things cannot be done in advance, it will definitely mean that Chen Ruobai, the mine owner, has neglected his duty, and it may cause a series of subsequent troubles.

Such low-level mistakes are definitely not allowed, and Chen Ruobai will never make such mistakes.So there is nothing to say, just go directly with Portis and clarify some things.

Driving straight to the new mine is a common sight in the wilds of Alaska.

Portis couldn't help feeling emotional, "Although I often cooperate with gold diggers, I still admire you very much. You always come to these places without people and work hard to find gold in such a harsh environment."

"So it is very difficult for us to make money. You should give me a low price." Chen Ruobai couldn't help but said happily, "It's pretty good. Although there are no real roads here, I can drive directly in the valley. I The first mine had no road at all and I had to drive across the river. God knows what madness I was going through, it was my first mine!"

Portis said bluntly, "You're not crazy, you're just sick with poverty, that's why you're so crazy!"

This was the fact that Chen Ruobai was speechless, because that was the situation at that time.

Passing by the stolen gold mine, Chen Ruobai said, "There were people panning for gold here before, but they didn't report it, which wasted a lot of my time."

Portis turned his head and looked out of the car window, a little thoughtful.Seeing his expression, Chen Ruobai became curious.

"This should be a long time ago. I heard that some people mined gold here." Portis said directly, "It may have been 20 years. A group of outsiders found gold here. I heard that your mine Many people find it strange that many people have been on this road before.”

Chen Ruobai didn't find it strange, but felt proud, "They must regret it now, I found a big mine."

"Yes, many people are regretting it." Portis said with a smile, "Many people know the location of the mine now. Many people know more about your mine than you. There are also people who have explored there. , but they found no ore."

That's right, Chen Ruobai almost gave up at that time, but he firmly believed in his own judgment.And those gold diggers obviously didn't expect that the ore sand layer would be deeper, so they missed a lot of money.

Panning for gold sometimes requires some luck, Chen Ruobai will never deny this.

Just because others can't find a mine doesn't mean Chen Ruobai can't find it, and this can't be summed up simply by luck, it's also a proof of strength.

When he reached the cliff, Portis couldn't help frowning immediately, "This is not a good choice, I don't seem to see any water source."

"I know that the biggest problem in mining has always been water. Whether it is domestic water or washing mines, it will be difficult." Chen Ruobai didn't care, and said, "We can lay pipelines, and if we are lucky, we may find a stream, so here I am Need water purification equipment."

There is really no way, it can only be a large number of domestic water purchases.Although it would add a little cost, compared to what Chen Ruobai gained, such a little cost is only a drop in the bucket, completely within the acceptable range.

Portis looked around and asked, "Where do you want the living quarters to be?"

"Maybe it's close to the open space next to it. The area right in front of the cliff is the area I mine, so I can only look for the living quarters on both sides." Chen Ruobai didn't hide anything. Where is more suitable?"

Portis thought for a while, and pointed to the left side of the cliff, "The left side is better, and the terrain is more flat. But if we want to build board houses here, we must cut down these trees. Are you sure you got the documents?"

Chen Ruobai said confidently, "Of course, this is not a cherished tree species. These are just some miscellaneous trees. I can cut them down. Not just a few trees here, I will cut down all the troublesome trees in this area. .”

Portis felt relieved now, he didn't want to cause any trouble, so Chen Ruobai had to produce the documents before starting work.

"Your new mine looks very big." Portis looked around, a little skeptical, "Is it really just a short-term job? I think according to the scale of your mine, it may be a long-term work here."

Chen Ruobai was also helpless, and could only explain, "The ore sand layer is relatively shallow, and we can't work here for a long time. The difficulty of mining this time is not too big, and I'm already prepared to make no money."

This is hard to be convincing, let alone Chen Ruobai, a new star in the gold mining world, has always maintained a super high success rate in prospecting.Any gold digger who chooses to start panning for gold is prepared to make a lot of money and get rich overnight.

If you say that you don't make money, this is something that no one believes at all. Everyone knows this.

Portis believes that Chen Ruobai will not take any risks. There should be a high probability of finding gold here, it's just a matter of earning more or less.

Looking at the mine in front of him, Portis also felt heartache for those former gold diggers.

If Chen Ruobai finds a large amount of gold here again, there must be countless gold diggers going crazy with jealousy.There must have been many gold diggers in this area. Judging from the situation, it doesn't seem to be a "poor mountain and bad water", and the mining conditions are not bad.

If gold is found here, it will inevitably make many people's mentality unbalanced.If those people were a little more patient, if their prospecting skills were better, they might really be able to make a lot of money.

It's just a pity that they have now lost their opportunity, and it is very likely that they have missed a large sum of money.

Portis wanted to think about it, but he didn't particularly care.He is not a gold digger, it has nothing to do with him, as long as he can complete this business, these are also the things he cares most about.

After carefully inspecting the mine with Chen Ruobai, the two also discussed it, and basically confirmed that there is no problem.The general layout of the mine is clear, and the various preliminary constructions are also well known.

Portis just came to take a turn, and then he will start to enter the preparation work.And Chen Ruobai couldn't be idle, the preliminary construction work of the mine was still going on, and he still had a lot of things to deal with.

Although Montgomery still had a bandage on his head, he happily ran to the mine.Resting for a few days is enough. Although I still need to go to the hospital for an examination, I don't have to worry about the impact too much. Going for the examination is just for insurance.

I have been recuperating these few days, and it is indeed relatively relaxed and happy, so I can treat it as a vacation.

It's just a holiday, so I have to prepare to continue to devote myself to work. I have already missed a mine washing, and I feel a little regretful in my heart.

Furthermore, this is also a restless person.In order to earn more money, you must continue to invest in your work and do what you can.

It's just a small injury, don't worry about not being able to take on some work yet.Doing your job well and making sure you earn more in this gold rush season are also Montgomery's simplest ideas.
