11. Some people go bankrupt and some people get rich
The trough washing machine with a total weight of more than 30 tons, this machine was in the 70s, and it was lost in the Jack Brothers mine for several years.
Inspections, repairs, and replacements start from the moment they come to the mine, and they are finally done.
Ye Mu invited a trailer, as well as a crane, to load equipment.
"Wilk man, thank you for your help in the past half month. Ye Mu loaded the equipment and said goodbye to the person in charge of the Jack Mine.
"You're welcome. Feel free to come over in the future......"
It took more than half a day to load a machine, and then half a day to transport it back, and the allotted nine-hour working time had already passed. When I came back to the construction site, everyone was still working, and Xiao Lu's machine was rumbling, and the abandoned mud and useless stones were left only with a large proportion of gold and a small amount of sand and gravel......
Finally began to wash the mine, the team that had been suppressed, today everyone is in good spirits.
Commander Ye Mu unloaded the rhubarb and took a look at Karn, and the washing was in progress......
"How many ingredients have been washed today. ”
"It's about 800 yards now, and the ore is piled up...... "Karn stroked his chin and beard, "The price of gold has fallen so much, 1 ounce to 1095." Yesterday Karaster's team declared the gold mining season over, bankrupt ......"
"So fast!" Ye Mu was stunned for a moment. Every year, many gold digging teams quit halfway, and this year, due to the increase in entry capital, the team with bad luck should be able to hold on for a while, and now it's only half a month, too fast. And the speed at which the price of gold fell was also unexpected. I remember that during the Chinese New Year, the North American gold price was $1,285 per ounce, and now it has fallen by almost $200......
"Karaster is in the mine, staying with Bote. The machines he left behind, two Case 2050M bulldozers, were very good, and he came over to ask if he would be interested in taking them. Their team was about to head south to the Juno gold fields...... "Juneau, the capital of the U.S. state of Alaska, across the Strait from the Alexandria Islands. There are also a lot of gold mines there, which are cheaper to excavate......
"Price?"
"175,000. ”
"What do you mean?" Hagi asked.
"The price is not expensive, and you will not lose money when you buy it. "The machinery and equipment in Alaska cannot refer to the price in North America, and the machinery here, even if you don't know how many hands of the machine, can be sold as new equipment, because it is remote and difficult to transport. $175,000, sold before the cold winter, 160,000 should be worth it. With two or two large bulldozers on board, the progress of mining can be much faster.
"Whatever. ”
Today the mine has been washed long enough that people need to rest, and so do machines.
After stopping the washing machine, Bot took someone to the bank and drove the two excavators back. Leafwood and Karn pulled out the primary ore from the washer trough, as well as the gold blanket......
From the gold left on the sticky gold carpet, it can be roughly calculated, and the harvest is quite rich.
The secondary washing takes place in a small machine, where the gold, sand and gravel are all separated and flowed into different tanks. The gold is then collected, dried, weighed......
A large group of people gathered around to see what was going on today......
The price of gold will fall, but the weight of gold will not.
"5 oz. ......"
"7 oz. ......"
"15 oz. ......"
"20, 20 is ......"
"20.43 oz. ”
When trying to wash the mine, it costs $30 a yard. Referring to the current price, 830 yards of ore were washed today, and one yard of ore is $25.6. A washing machine a day washed out $21,000 worth of gold.
Those present chanted.
Ye Mu was the biggest contributor here, and the excited Karn hugged him fiercely: "I've been digging a gold mine for decades, and it's the first time I've seen such a rich gold mine. Ye, we got rich. ”
"Yes, rich. Ye Mu said, hugged by a group of excited absentees and tossed.
Now, the guys on the construction site have no complaints, and they are eager to enter the mine again, work hard, and work hard.
This is a large vein (relatively speaking).
For the 'wild group', this vein is remarkable. At the current scale of exploration, the two washing machines have been dry until August, which is when the machines are not in condition.
Little Green's work efficiency is about 800 yards of ore a day. Rhubarb's work efficiency, 1,300 yards of ore a day is not a problem, and it is expected to have at least $4 million in gold.
Ye Mu invested 200,000 yuan, Zhang Kun invested 30,000 yuan, and the two were counted together, accounting for 32.4 shares. Counting the entire team as 100 shares, the total investment is 710,000, and the investment of one share is 7,000 US dollars.
Ye Mu personally has 28.5 shares in the team, so by the end of the mining season, Ye Mu's dividend income may exceed one million US dollars. Because there is also a theoretical bonanza center that has not been excavated, and the ancient Jinsha River that has been explored, that is, the river that was cut off and submerged a long, long time ago in the Valley of Good Fortune.
Everyone in the team contributed money, and at least 2 shares were shared. The investment of two shares is 14,000, but there is a five-fold dividend.
What's more, the team can afford to pay their salaries, so they won't go bankrupt without income.
Everyone discussed how to celebrate, and Bot returned with two seventy-percent new bulldozers.
"The washing is over, tell me how much gold there is. ”
Ye Mu gestured two fingers and picked up the gold in the bottle: "Twenty ounces." ”
"Hahaha...... Bot laughed convulsively, "I bought beef and came back, add food today, and then continue to work." Tomorrow I will work for another day, divide the gold I have found, and go out to relax for two days. ”
Bot came back with fifty pounds of beef, and Ye Mu took some back and made a potato roast beef. The chef invited was a local, and the food he cooked was not used to Ye Mu.
When the dish was almost ready, Bot and Karn came over with bowls and basins. These two guys liked the food made by Ye Mu and often came over as soon as the meal was served. But they will bring food, not for free.
"Ye, the price of gold has fallen to a low point, and now it is not cost-effective to sell the gold that has been dug up. What do you think?"
"Let's talk to everyone. In addition to the necessary expenses, the gold dug up first is stored in the bank and sold until the price recovers. As for wages, it depends on the individual's intentions to settle the settlement in gold, sell or keep it?"
"Okay. ”
The days here are so long.
The night is only a short three or four hours. After eating and resting for a while, Ye Mu locked the gold in the safe, and seeing that everyone went to work, Ye Mu pulled a few people over to set up the rhubarb and start the machine before dark.
The mineral sands are piled up, and the washing work cannot be delayed.
The next day, two machines were started and the mine was washed for 10 hours, resulting in a total of 52.6 ounces of gold, plus the previous 20.43 ounces, for a total of 73 ounces. However, the ore accumulated next to the washing machine has increased unabated, and everyone is working hard, and the machine is playing ......
The gold was distributed according to each person's stake in the team.
Ye Mu got 20.8 ounces of gold. Zhang Kun also got his share, 2.85 ounces. When I first found gold, I took it out and sold it, and at the current price, the selling price of an ounce is about $1,030.
The team is on vacation, but they won't all run out in a swarm, leaving a few and waiting for tomorrow's shift to come back and go out.
Ye Mu and Zhang Kun stayed, as well as Bote's son and three others.
