Who would still be a social slave when they are so rich?

Chapter 233: Explore the unexpected gains from the first experience!

"I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep well in the mountains, but I didn't expect to sleep until dawn."

Su Chen stretched lazily and walked out of the wooden house. He took a breath of the fresh mountain air and felt much more awake.

Before, he had thought that there would be all kinds of mosquitoes, small insects and the like in the mountains at night, but in the end there was nothing. But after Ivan explained it to him, he realized that they used professional mosquito repellent measures around their camp.

After all, this camp is semi-permanent, and the patrol team naturally has to consider the comfort of the living environment for a long time. For this reason, many plants that repel mosquitoes or small insects are planted around the camp.

"Huh?" Last night I only knew that I had arrived at a small basin between two mountains. Now I can see clearly what it looks like.

The entire basin is located between two mountains. The basin is very flat, about one kilometer long and only about seventy or eighty meters wide. There are small hills on both sides, and green birch forests as far as the eye can see. In the distance of the basin, you can also see a river passing by.

"Boss~Good morning!"

At this time, Ivan came over with a plate of things. Su Chen took a look at what he was holding, roasted lamb leg, smoked fish and a pot of milk.

"These are all made at the ranch this morning. Boss, please eat them while they're hot."

Su Chen nodded and took the breakfast, then asked, "Where are Xiao Chen and Chen Fei? Why can't I see them?" After saying that, he found a table and chairs made of wooden stakes, sat down, and started to eat with relish.

I climbed the mountain road for nearly an hour last night, and after a night of consumption, the roasted whole lamb I ate last night had long been digested, and my stomach was already growling with hunger.

"Boss~ Mr. Xiao took Fade Chen and the two Mel brothers to the gold mining site to investigate the situation."

Su Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He didn't expect that Xiao Chen was more anxious than himself.

"Huh? Did they go to the gold panning place? Is that place far from us?" Su Chen had heard them mention it when they were chatting last night. The gold panning place was nearby, but Su Chen was not sure how close it was.

Hearing Su Chen's question, Ivan raised his hand and pointed to the short river at the end of the basin and said, "Boss, that's the river. It's just that the gold panning location is a little further upstream. If we go over the mountain next to it, it will take half the time, but it's more difficult to walk."

After listening to Ivan's story, a real-life picture of three mountains and two pieces of land immediately emerged in Su Chen's mind. After thinking for a moment, Su Chen nodded to indicate that he understood, and then he said no more, but he ate breakfast a little faster.

In less than ten minutes, Su Chen finished a leg of lamb and smoked fish. At the end, he drank half the pot of milk. He wiped his mouth, patted his butt and said, "Let's go and see what's going on."

Upon hearing this, Ivan immediately called three or four patrol members, took weapons and protected Su Chen in the middle as they walked towards the river. As for taking a shortcut by climbing the mountain, Su Chen didn't even think about it. It was already tiring enough last night, and who would get up early in the morning to climb a mountain.

There was a narrow path leading from the basin to the river. Su Chen took a look and thought it should have been cleared recently. After walking for seven or eight minutes, the group finally reached the end of the basin and the river.

Su Chen then looked at the river. The water was very clear, and occasionally one could see large fish of about ten centimeters long playing in the water. Looking upstream along the river, he saw a few small black dots moving in the river in the distance. He knew without thinking that they were Xiao Chen and others.

"You're in really good spirits and not afraid of the cold at all!" Su Chen smiled and shook his head. Although it is already May, the temperature in Siberia is low, especially the temperature difference between morning and night is very large. In addition, the water in this river is snow water flowing down from the Siberian permafrost. Those who can go into the water are in good health.

When Su Chen and his group were about to arrive, they heard several exclamations. Su Chen thought that they had encountered an accident, so he hurriedly took Ivan and others to run towards Xiao Chen and his group.

"Brother Chen~Are you okay?" Su Chen shouted loudly when he was still more than a hundred meters away. At this time, Su Chen also vaguely saw Chen Fei and the others picking up a big thing from the river, which was still shining with golden color.

"You came at the right time!" Xiao Chen said with a smile as he looked at Su Chen who was panting.

"What treasure did you find?" Su Chen took several deep breaths in succession before he calmed down his panting breathing.

As Xiao Chen looked away, Su Chen saw a golden object with a diameter of nearly one meter placed on the grass, "Is this gold nugget?" A look of surprise and astonishment appeared on Su Chen's face.

You should know that wherever there is gold nuggets, there are basically gold mines. Although there is a possibility that some of them are mixed with soil and washed down by water, the possibility is very small.

Although the previous speculation about the gold mine was just the judgment of the Mel brothers based on their own experience, now there is supporting evidence, which can prove that there is really a gold mine here as the Mel brothers thought.

"Hahaha~ Just now Chen Fei insisted on experiencing the feeling of gold panning. I don't know if he was lucky last night. He found a place nearby and dug up this stuff." As he said this, Xiao Chen kicked the gold nugget.

"Ouch, be gentle, be gentle. This thing will be worthless if you break it!" Mel said with a painful look on his face.

"Hmm?" Hearing Mel's voice, everyone present looked at him.

Mel saw everyone's gazes and deftly took out a small wooden awl with a sharp end from his pocket. He squatted down and started fiddling with the nugget of gold. After a short while, the dirt on the nugget of gold was lifted off.

He washed the gold nugget in the river, then carried it to a place three to five meters away from the crowd and said, "Look at what this gold nugget looks like?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard Mel's words. Su Chen and others who came to their senses squinted at the piece of gold nugget in his hand.

"Sir~ Look at this golden dog-head statue. Doesn't it look like an eagle standing on a stone with its wings spread out, ready to fly?" Chen Fei, who was standing behind Su Chen, said suddenly.

"Eagle?" After hearing Chen Fei's words, the image of an eagle immediately appeared in everyone's mind, which perfectly matched the image of the dog-head gold in Mel's hand.

"It really looks like an eagle!" A smile appeared on Su Chen's face. You know, dog-head gold is naturally formed. A fist-sized piece of dog-head gold can be worth at least millions. But if it forms an image with special meaning...
Goutoujin: I’m sorry. My buddy’s worth will at least increase tenfold!

This is only in China. If it were abroad and the image happened to fit the totem of a certain country or a top chaebol family, the value of this gold nugget would double.

When Su Chen saw this eagle-shaped gold nugget, the names of several countries immediately emerged in his mind, the bald eagle, the Middle Eastern dog owners, especially the Middle Eastern dog owners. Their totem is the eagle. If they knew there was such a gold nugget, wouldn't they fly to him on a private plane overnight?
Su Chen made a small guess in his mind that the price of this gold nugget would definitely not be less than nine figures. After all, the rich man named Dog was famous for his wealth and generosity.

Thinking of this, Su Chen also felt a little bit of evil taste. He took out his mobile phone and took a series of cool photos of the gold nugget in Mel's hand. He selected a few clear ones and sent them directly to someone in the form of text messages.

After finishing this, Su Chen's eyes swept over Chen Fei, the Meier brothers, Tiandi Xuanhuang and others, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Then he said loudly: "Here we emphasize the ability to do more work, and there will be rewards for merit. As long as you have achieved results, there will be rewards. I, your boss, am not that kind of stingy person!"

"Fade Chen, you did a good job this time. I'll give you a reward of 100,000 when we get back to the ranch!" He then turned to look at the two Mel brothers standing aside and said, "You two brothers have also made contributions. Each of you will receive 50,000!"

"Thank you, sir (BOSS)!" Chen Fei and the Mel brothers laughed happily when they heard this.

"As for the four of you, Tiandi Xuanhuang?" The four of them didn't go into the water just now, but they still put in some effort.

Looking at the expectant eyes of the four people, the smile on Su Chen's face became even wider, "Ten thousand each of you four!" "Thank you~Mr. Su!" Tiandi Xuanhuang also grinned and shouted loudly, sighing in his heart that if he had been more proactive and went to the river to pan for gold, maybe Chen Fei's wealth would belong to them.

Ivan and the other members of the patrol team who were standing nearby were so excited when they saw this scene. A bonus of 100,000 is more than 1 million rubles, which is the salary they cannot even earn in a year. How could they not be jealous?

When they thought that all this was because of the nugget of gold that Chen Fei salvaged from the river, everyone looked towards the river flowing beside them, their eyes flashing with eagerness to try.

After arranging Chen Fei, Tian Di Xuan Huang and the other three to send the nugget gold back to the camp, he also saw the anticipation of the patrol members. His eyes moved slightly and he said softly, "If you are interested, you can go down to the river to look for it. If you find the nugget gold, the reward will be the same as Chen Fei's!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the patrol members immediately cheered for joy, shouted thank you to the boss, took off their clothes, and ran towards the river with the tools that Chen Fei and others had given them.

As if afraid that he would run too slowly and let others get ahead of him.

Even the Mel brothers came up to Su Chen and asked a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Su, can we go too?"

Su Chen couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and nodded, "If you want to try it, you can go."

"Yeah!" An excited look appeared on the faces of the Mel brothers, and they immediately turned around and went into the river to search for treasure.

Xiao Chen, who had been silent all this time, walked to Su's side with a smile on his face. After looking Su Chen up and down, he said, "I think I understand you now. You are a very scheming guy!"

"Brother Chen, I take your words as a compliment to me!" Su Chen smiled slightly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen looked at Su Chen deeply and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he had underestimated Su Chen. From the moment he arrived at the ranch, everything was part of Su Chen's plan. The bonus at the beginning brought together the hearts of the people on the ranch, and later when he brought the Mel brothers under his command, the powerful force he inadvertently displayed also put an invisible shackle on Ivan.

Just now, Su Chen performed the drama of spending a large sum of money to buy horse bones, which showed everyone that he was not a stingy boss, and also gave all the employees of the ranch hope to strive for progress.

As long as you desire money, you will only work harder.

In addition, the Mel brothers were beaten up by Ivan's men before, so they must have some grudges in their hearts. It is natural that both sides cannot stand together.

Su Chen will not stay in Irkutsk all the time, so he definitely needs someone here to watch over the gold mine that has not been found yet. The brothers Ivan and Mel naturally become the first choice targets. If the two teams are arranged together, it will only form a situation of mutual supervision.

"I found the nugget gold!"

"I have one here, but it's too small!"

After more than an hour of searching in the river, they didn't find much gold. Everyone focused their attention on finding gold nuggets, and they actually found three of them. Two of them were found by the patrol team, and the other one was discovered by Ciri in the mud by the river.

It was a coincidence that when Ciri was about to go ashore and give up, he lost his footing and hurriedly grabbed a small branch on the shore. As a result, he pulled the small branch up directly and fell into the river.

Just when Ciri was about to curse, she saw a flash of golden color where the small branch was originally on the shore. She quickly picked up the tools and started digging, and directly dug out a lump of nugget gold that was about seven or eight kilograms in size.

The two pieces found by the patrol were not very big, and there were no nice patterns on them, they were just a simple lump.

After everyone got ashore, Su Chen distributed the bonuses without any further ado, even the bonuses that had been promised before.

Everyone was in a happy mood when they returned to the camp. However, when they told the patrol members who stayed behind in the camp, they all beat their chests and stamped their feet, secretly annoyed that they had missed an opportunity to make a fortune.

Su Chen also announced on the spot that in the future, anyone who discovered something good or made any contribution would be rewarded, which made the remaining team members happy.

After this series of operations, Su Chen's image in the minds of these patrol members instantly became upright, and there was a hint of respect in their eyes when they looked at him.

"By the way, Brother Chen, are there any signs of the gold mine?" Su Chen then remembered that Xiao Chen had gone to the river before in order to verify what the Mel brothers had said about the gold mine.

Xiao Chen took out a bottle from his pocket and handed it to Su Chen. The fist-sized bottle was already filled with gold particles. "We found this at a random place. It took us less than thirty minutes to fill a bottle."

"If the gold mine had a 50% to 60% chance before, now that we have discovered the nugget gold, it's at least 80%. It's really a rich mine as the Mel brothers said!"

Su Chen weighed the bottle in his hand, it was at least half a pound. After thinking for a moment, Su Chen paused, holding the bottle in his right hand and said, "Brother Chen, find a professional domestic exploration team to come here and settle the gold mine as soon as possible. In addition, you can call a group of people from the training camp to look for the treasure that the Mel brothers mentioned!"

"No matter what, let's give it a try. What if we really find it?" Although Su Chen said it a little easily, he also hoped to find the Tsar's treasure, which is a fortune of enormous value.

"You kid are starting to order me around again. When you return to your country, you won't be able to get away without treating me to a hundred or eighty meals!" Xiao Chen's words were somewhat joking, but there was also a hint of caution in his eyes. He also guessed Su Chen's thoughts.

"Hehe~ Those who are capable should do more work. I will definitely arrange it after I return home!" Su Chen responded with a smile.

The gold mine is easy to deal with. After all, it takes a long time to mine it. It takes a lot of manpower and material resources. But the treasure is different. If it is really the 1,600 tons of gold lost by the Tsar, it is definitely unreliable to ask outsiders. Who knows if anyone will have any ideas?

Only by arranging a group of people from the country to come over and be responsible for this matter, will there be concern only if there is a bond, and naturally they will not do anything out of line.

In fact, Su Chen also thought about arranging his own people to come, but those trustworthy people stayed in the Zhengdao Park and could not come out in a short time. As for other people, Su Chen could not think of any suitable candidates for a while, so he could only leave this matter to Xiao Chen to arrange.

Money can move people's hearts. Su Chen has never thought of using money to test a person's morality. After all, in the face of interests, not to mention friends, even brothers will turn against each other.

He still trusts Xiao Chen very much. After knowing each other for such a long time, he still has the trust he should have. Whether it is Xiao Chen or Master Xiao, they are among the few people Su Chen can trust. This is the answer he got after going through so many things.

"Okay~ I'll arrange this matter. They're all people you can trust!" Xiao Chen naturally understood Su Chen's concerns and agreed immediately.

When the two were about to discuss the details, the phone in Su Chen's pocket rang. He took it out and looked at the caller ID, a look of pride flashed across Su Chen's face.

He waved the phone towards Xiao Chen and said, "Jiang Taigong fishes and those who are willing will take the bait. Look, here comes the big fat fish!" After saying that, Su Chen answered the call.

　I had a surgery scheduled today. In the morning the doctor said there was a shadow in the lymph area and it might have started to spread. After the surgery it was confirmed that there was no impact and I finally felt relieved.

　　Fortunately, thyroid cancer is a happy cancer. It does not have a great impact on the body. After the operation, you only need to take medicine for the rest of your life. It is a blessing in disguise!
