Chapter 20: Legend [Ask for Recommendation, Collect]
After distributing the bonuses, Mo Fan did not continue to nag and announced the adjournment of the meeting.
Some people get more gold, some people get less, and the maximum is a difference of more than six times. Anyway, Mo Fan once again encouraged everyone's enthusiasm.
"Hi Mo. Show me your gold. "Kyle and his party have been here for a long time.
Mo Fan met the tax official first, and then opened the safe.
There were still 24,652 ounces of gold left in the safe, about 762 kilograms.
The moment the safe is opened, the sparkling gold is revealed.
The market price of gold today is $1,279, but it is impossible to sell it to a bank at the market price of $1,235 per ounce, which is $30,445,220.
And now, there are 50 days left in the gold rush season. It is not easy to achieve the goal of 100 million, but it is not far off.
People from the tax bureau and the land resources bureau did not come here to collect taxes, but wanted Mo Fan to announce the results of the gold panning, so as to attract more people to come to the Great Northwest Wasteland in search of gold.
The Great Northwest Heath is a virgin land, less than one-twentieth of the area has been explored. Mo Fan doesn't have much energy to explore anymore, and now this gold mine, if Mo Fan mines it himself, he won't be able to mine it for decades.
The next day, Radio Whitehorse reported that MF Gold Mining had found the Super Gold Mine, and news then spread, and the previously reported Great Northwest Gold Mine reappeared in the press.
"A super gold mine has been discovered in the Great Northwest Permafrost Wasteland of the Yukon, which is full of rivers of gold flowing with gold...... "The Toronto Daily.
"The discovery of a magnificent prehistoric civilization in Tombstone Hill in the Yukon has unearthed a large number of oracle bones, bronzes, gold cakes, and gold bricks. Experts have long wondered where the gold came from, and now they have finally found the result...... "CNTV.
"The bronzes excavated from the Mobia site show that the people of the time had a very high metallurgical technology. However, the unearthed bone armor script resembles a Chinese oracle bone inscription, and the archaeological team plans to invite Chinese archaeologists to participate in the excavation......"
News of the Mobia ruins still dominates most of the mainstream media. However, then the Great Northwest Gold Mine announced that it had already explored gold reserves, and for a while the interest of the Canadian media was to pan for gold.
More than 650 tonnes of gold reserves have been discovered, all of which are high-grade gold deposits. The super gold mine is about 4.6 kilometres long and 0.79 kilometres wide at its widest and has been explored to a depth of 70 metres. The highest-grade horizon with a high contained of 9.9 g/t Au. But the further down the road, the grade of the gold mine decreases. Eventually, it is estimated that the mine's gold reserves could reach 1,000 tonnes.
In a short period of time, news of the discovery of mega-gold mines in the Yukon spread around the world, and a large number of gold prospectors with dreams of making a fortune poured into Yukon, gathered in Dawson City, and then traveled along the 'Gold Road' to the Great Northwest.
The Golden Road, the name of the newly built road.
Mofan's mining area has long been enclosed with iron fences, and there are obvious land boundary markings. Gold diggers usually don't cross the line easily, which is very dangerous, especially in inaccessible wilderness areas. These gold prospectors searched for gold in the wasteland further north, and it only took a team of days to find gold, and some people even picked up a piece of dog's head gold weighing 1,498 grams by an unknown stream, and found an ancient river along the discovery, and found a large amount of gold on the deposit of the ancient river......
The gold mine where the gold was discovered was easily taken out of the tenement and easily obtained a loan at the Phipps Investment Bank.
Just like the Yukon Gold Rush and Alaska Gold Rush at the end of the last century, countless people with dreams of making a fortune came to Yukon...... At the beginning of August, the normally quiet city of Dawson City became extremely prosperous, and tents were erected in the suburbs, and the population of Dawson City exceeded 10,000. Some people come to travel, some people come to do business, and the rest are all in search of gold.
Radio Whitehorse reports daily news of the Great Northwest Heathlands.
"Gold has been discovered in the Angina River, and the discoverer has acquired the mineral rights and secured a $3 million loan from the Phipps Investment Bank. ”
"A third palaeochannel has been discovered in the middle of the wasteland, and gold reserves are abundant. Judging from experience, there must be a super mineral comparable to the gold mine in the Great Northwest in the Great Northwest, and I don't know who will be lucky enough to find it. ”
"Oh God. I hosted today's show alone, and my partner quit his job to pan for gold. His father, Johnson, a well-known gold hunter, found gold in the Cordor Mountains, further north in the Tombstone Mountains. It was rumored that there could be more than 100 tonnes of gold......, who knows? Some people got rich and some went bankrupt during the Great Gold Rush era, and if it was really unsustainable, report to the Dick Gold Mining Company, they needed a lot of experienced miners. ”
"Today is August 15th. A particularly bad thing happened in Whitehorse, which is usually very safe, the 7.5 supermarket was robbed, and the police arrived 37 minutes after calling the police...... The reason is that half of the police officers in the police station quit their jobs and became involved in the gold rush. Fake, what the hell......"
Mo Fan's motivation played a role, and each team spontaneously worked overtime, and if someone in the team cheated and cheated, it was very unpopular.
Most of the people are working hard to get two percent of the prize money for first place. There are also people who can't stand the suffering and choose to leave, one of them named Johnson also went to the union to denounce Mo Fan, saying that Mo Fan abused laborers, and only knew that he urged everyone to work......
The Yukon Gold Rush is a race against time, and the gold rush season is too short to compare with the mines that can mine gold all year round. The union ignored him, and the guy went to court.
Mo Fan did not appear in court on the day of the debate meeting, and sent a lawyer over, and the miners naturally lost the case.
“Boss。 Everyone works hard every day, and now I am afraid of the situation, do you want to stipulate everyone's rest time?"
"There are only a dozen days left in the gold rush season. You go over and ask everyone if anyone wants to rest. During this time, Mo Fan announced a new reward to let everyone work overtime voluntarily. The reward is nothing more than a share of gold, in addition to the previous reward mechanism, and a dividend of one percent. This hundredth is the group's gold rush dividends, and more work gets more.
Gold production is now maintained at around 1,700 ounces per day.
Six teams, the best of the best, produce 300 ounces a day, and one hundredth of a week is 18 ounces. There are 10 people in a team, and now there are only 7 people left in some teams, and it is also a lot of income to distribute to everyone.
"Gold panning in the Yukon has always been a game for the brave and the hardworking. Not only do we have to race against time, but we also have to push our limits. Mo Fan baked the gold he had found: "I remember the first day I rented the gold mine, and I only set a sleep time of 6 hours a day. In fact, 5 hours of sleep a day is not bad...... I persevered to get to where I am today. Even now, I set a limit for seven hours of sleep a day, but do you think I slept enough for seven hours?"
Mo Fan's words quickly spread throughout the mine through the workers beside him.
"Gold panning in the Yukon has always been a game for the brave and the hardworking...... I like this sentence. At noon, Mokfisn, who was eating at the restaurant, said, "So far, each member of our group has made $240,000." Aiming for $300,000 by the end of the gold rush season, with another $500,000 in prize money, it seems that we are only eligible to compete for the sixth group. Guys, come on with the gas. In two weeks, three weeks at most, the gold rush season is over, and we can take our families out on vacation with the $500,000 prize money, or split it evenly. ”
"I chose to go on vacation to impress my wife, who had always felt that I was unproductive. ”
Miners in Canada are blue-collar workers and belong to the high-income group. But elsewhere, Yukon's miners were generally not well paid, mainly because of the number of hours they worked.
"I also chose to go on vacation, I wanted to go to Tahiti. I've heard that our boss has been to it twice, and it's a very nice resort island. ”
It is very pleasant and necessary to choose to go out on vacation to relax after a long and high-intensity work. The premise is that you have to make enough money......
……
"Gold panning in the Yukon has always been a game for the brave and the hardworking...... Chairman of MF Gold, FanMo. Whitehorse City Radio: "Big guy, I'm Benjamin, the radio host. In the Yukon, gold diggers refer to skilled miners as gold hunters. Especially in Dawson, everyone has probably heard of the name of the gold hunter, the most famous of which is FanMo, the initiator of the second Yukon Gold Rush and the chairman of MF Gold. There was a saying in their company that gold panning in Yukon has always been a game for the brave and hardworking, and according to the people of MF Gold, this sentence was said by their chairman himself. ”
"Everyone knows that FanMo is a very mysterious man, said to be Chinese, very young and very handsome. I'm sure the gold diggers in Yukon have heard Fanmo's stories, but they're all glorified stories. Few people knew that he was a penniless poor boy when he first arrived in Yukon, and no one believed that he had worked as a restaurant worker, a renovation worker, a roadbed worker, or a lumberjack...... FanMo's saga began seven years ago, the day he officially became a gold digger. Yesterday I had the pleasure of interviewing Elson, chairman of Hunter Gold Mines, who told me that FanMo is a hardworking and almost tireless person, and that in his opinion, FanMo's work is like abusing himself. He leased the mine four years ago, and he worked more than 15 hours a day during the gold rush season, and the gold diggers he worked under were all superhuman ......"
On the road from Whitehorse to Dawson, Mo Yu sat in the passenger seat of the pickup truck driven by Xiong Xi, looking out over the vast and beautiful scenery above the wilderness, listening to the radio broadcast telling the story of a gold hunter named 'Fa Mo'.
"Chinese, what a strange name. ”
"Europeans and Americans are used to putting the first name in front and the last name in the back. MF Gold, your brother's company. Xiong Xi gave a thumbs up: "You don't know about Mo Fan? ”
Mo Yu glared: "No, he never told me about work." We've only talked on the phone three times since the Chinese New Year...... He's that kind of person, so stingy that he can't do it. ”
"Why can't I feel it, I think my cousin is quite generous. Xiong Xi shrugged.
"I mean, he has a temper, like a child, and gets angry at every turn. It's like the Chinese New Year, I don't know why I've been angry until now, and I haven't taken the initiative to contact my family. ”
