North America 1849, from Gold Rush to Warlord

Chapter 46 The Real First Bucket of Gold

In fact, if A-Zu had not come to this era, most of the hundreds of thousands of Chinese workers who came across the ocean would only be able to re-pan the tailings washed by the white people to get the few remaining leftovers.

No matter what industry they are in, Chinese workers are at the bottom of the society on this continent. They can only do the dirtiest, most difficult and lowest-paid jobs that other races are unwilling to do, in order to barely survive.

At A-Zu, all Chinese workers not only received the same treatment and respect as white people, but also, in addition to their normal salary, A-Zu also gave them a considerable commission from bonuses.

The same is true for this gold rush!

Being able to get a 0.5% bonus also makes everyone look forward to the first day's gains.

A-Zu personally picked up a heavy iron can and poured the gold collected inside onto the large scale pan bit by bit.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."

Looking at the golden gold particles gradually accumulating on the scale plate, the golden light becomes more and more dazzling!
The eyes of all the people gathered in the board house became brighter and brighter!

Except for Jason, no one in the room had ever seen so much gold!
"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."

As A-Zu continued to pour, the gold on the large scale plate piled up like a tower and continued to increase!
Finally, the iron bucket that A-Zu was holding was completely vertical, and then he patted it and poured the last bit of gold remaining at the bottom of the bucket completely onto the scale pan.

"hiss……!"

When everyone saw the numbers on the scale clearly, they took a deep breath and then burst into a cheer that was loud enough to blow the roof off!

"Wow, I'm rich!!!"

"Wow, A-Zu, you'll make a fortune with us!"

Looking closely, the pointer on the scale pointed to three hundred and seventy-four ounces!

The strong Ayan picked up Azu and was so excited that he wanted to throw him into the air!

"Wait, what are you guys rushing for? Put me down now! I haven't even finished the weighing yet!"

A Yan quickly put him down, and A Zu picked up another identical iron bucket from his feet.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."

From this iron bucket, golden particles continue to pour out!
The gold on the large scale increased again! And the pointer reading continued to rise!
Seeing this scene, all the people who were cheering and ecstatic just now fell silent again. Everyone stared at the gold and readings without blinking!
"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."

Finally, this small half bucket of gold was completely poured out, and the gold in the scale had piled up into a small hill!

"Pa pa!" A-Zu patted the bottom of the bucket and poured out the last bit of liquid.

Then he put down the bucket and looked carefully at the reading.

"Today, we found a total of 527 ounces of gold!"

A Zu's tone was exceptionally calm!
But everyone in the wooden house suddenly burst into cheers that resounded through the sky!

"Long live! A-Zu, long live!!!"

"Long live the boss! Long live the boss!!!"

"Li, we're fucking rich!!!"

Jason, Harley, Ayan and everyone in the room surrounded Azu and threw him high into the air!

Then countless pairs of arms caught him steadily!
This cycle repeats many times!

Five hundred and twenty-seven ounces of gold, worth $21 per ounce!

In other words, in just one day, these fifty-odd people found $11,000 worth of gold! And in addition to their basic salary, each of them received a bonus of over $50!

In other words, in just one day, they earned all the income they had earned in the previous month!
The atmosphere in the board room instantly reached its climax!
This is just the bonus for one day, and according to the plan, they will be panning for gold here for a hundred days!

Until the rainy season arrives in November, or until all the gold here is mined!
Moreover, everyone knew that what they were panning for today was only the gravel with the lowest gold content by the lake!

Therefore, whether it was the forty or so Chinese or the dozen or so white people, they were extremely excited and the cheers that broke out did not stop for a long time!

"Put me down, put me down, you lunatics!"

"Put me down now! You guys are shaking me so hard I'm dizzy! I'm going to puke!"

Amid the deafening cheers, A-Zu's voice seemed insignificant.

When everyone put him down, he was really a little dizzy. He sat on a folding stool and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"You... you lunatics! Where have you come to now? Are you so excited already?"

A-Zu panted, and after he slowly recovered his breath, he slowly stood up and glanced at everyone who had extremely excited expressions.

"Be quiet and listen to me...!"

Everybody shut up.

A-Zu continued, "Today is just the beginning! From now on, as we go deeper and deeper into the lake, we'll find more gold every day."

"Today, each of you has received fifty dollars' worth of gold. Believe me, it will get more and more every day!"

"But we're making too much noise, and we might soon attract the enemy."

"To protect the gold we worked so hard to find, do you know what to do?"

Everyone looked at each other in silence!
"What else can we do? Fuck his mother!" A Yan waved his fist high. "Whoever dares to steal our gold will be killed!"

"Yes, fuck his mother!"

"Fuck his mother! Fuck his mother...!"

Dozens of fists were waving in the air at the same time, sharing the same hatred for the enemy, with high morale and momentum!
A-Zu looked at the morale being aroused with satisfaction. After they shouted the battle slogan in unison, he pressed his hands together to quiet everyone down.

"That's right! We'll beat them to death. No matter how many come, we'll kill them!"

"The enemy will be greedy and perhaps even brutal. It's inevitable that some of our brothers will get hurt, or even lose their lives!"

"For all injured brothers, my company and I will take full responsibility, not only for medical expenses, but also for salary and bonuses during the recovery period!"

"If... any of you unfortunately die, your family will not only continue to receive all your wages and bonuses from the gold rush, but we will also provide your family with a one-time pension of $2,000!"

"Also, I will reward those brothers who fight bravely and kill the enemy first, depending on the circumstances!"

A Zu's words instantly dispelled everyone's worries, and morale was unprecedentedly high.

"But let me be frank! If anyone is afraid of fighting, doesn't follow my orders, and hides away like a coward, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Having said that, A Zu's sharp eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one again.

"If anyone dares to steal our gold, or even betrays me or the company, don't blame me for being ruthless. I will make sure he dies a miserable death!"
