Chapter 2 Explorers, Inc

Hey, wind, what do you think? It can't be homesick again, right? I said if you're so homesick, why don't you go back and see your mother and your sister? Isn't it just a few thousand dollars of travel expenses, it's a big deal that you can take a little from here first, don't worry, I won't give you interest, who made us two good brothers Oh, OK, OK, I didn't say okay? ”

Tang Feng glanced at the nagging Sam, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes, and he continued to twist his head to the side, looking at the scenery that flashed like lightning outside.

Sam's full name is Sam. Mendez is also an employee of Explorer. I have to say that Americans think differently from Chinese, Sam's family background is very good, his father is a fairly big-name lawyer, and her mother is an executive at Big Blue IBM, and the family's annual income is as high as tens of millions of dollars, even in the United States, it is considered a rich class.

But Sam was born restless, and after graduating from college, he studied law and did not follow his father's will to work in a big-name law firm, but plunged headlong into Explorer and Arnold. Stallone's guy was mixed up, and he was like Tang Feng all day long, wandering around the world. Sam's parents have nothing to do about this only son, but Sam's parents will never be stingy with their son with a large amount of money. Many times Tang Feng is very envious of Sam, don't be so carefree in this rich second generation's little life, okay?

But Sam seems to be enjoying this kind of life very much, in his words, how comfortable it is, not only to be able to enjoy global travel without spending money, but also to be able to use his professional knowledge to make money in addition to travel, where can I find such a good thing! In case there is really no money, there are still two old people at home to provide for!

That's right, Sam is playing the role of legal counsel in the company, and as for him often drilling holes like Tang Feng, that is his own hobby, anyway, the stingy Mr. Arnold will not give Sam even a penny more than a penny in addition to paying Sam a lot of consulting fees.

Sam's personality and Tang Feng are somewhat complementary, Sam is very outgoing, and Tang Feng is relatively much more reserved, so since the two of them got to know each other, they have become a pair of good friends.

Now even the place where Tang Feng rents is an apartment rented with Sam.

The relationship between the two is good, but Tang Feng, who is so strong in his heart, never talks to Sam about money, and Sam has mentioned it several times, but Tang Feng refused. Tang Feng firmly believes that with his own ability, he can pay off his family's debts.

Americans generally drove fast, and Sam's President 1 maintained an 80-mile-hour speed on Highway 101 along the west shore of San Francisco Bay, and it didn't take much to reach San Francisco International Airport in San Mateo County.

After parking the car, the two men took their respective luggage and walked to the departure hall, where they met with the other guys.

"Hey, Sam and Don, you two are late, and the boss just lost his temper!" Johnny clapped his hands with Sam and Don Feng and said with a playful expression on his face.

"Hell, the wind, it's all your fault, if it weren't for your wife abandoning you, why would we be late?" Sam turned his head and pretended to be angry and said to Tang Feng.

Tang Feng shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, spread his hands, and said, "Brother, even if you go to hell, won't I still be with you?" ”

Several other people also gathered around and greeted Sam and Tang Feng one by one.

As soon as he finished saying hello here, the thin head walked over briskly from the other side, and after seeing Sam and Tang Feng, he roared in a low voice: "Damn, you two hurry up and check in for your boarding pass, I warn you both, if you are late again, beware of me deducting your winnings!" ”

Tang Feng and Sam glanced at each other, and went over there to check in for the boarding pass without saying a word, Sam said as he walked: "The boss is good anywhere, but this mouth is not good, just know how to scare people!" Wind, do you calculate, how many times has our boss warned us both? ”

Tang Feng smiled slightly and said: "Our boss is a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted guy, how many times he warned us Anyway, I can't remember, but I know that the boss has never deducted our bonus!" Oh Sam, do we have a bonus? ”

Sam said hatefully, "Hell! I just found out when you say that, no wonder our boss always talks about bonuses! Oh my God, don't say it's you, I've been here for almost four years, and I haven't even seen a single bonus! Our boss is a Grande! ”

Tang Feng smiled and didn't squeak.

Actually, Arnold. Stallone is already very good, the economy of the United States has not been very good in the past two years, and the business of Explorer Survey Company has not been very good due to the recent decline in international oil prices and iron ore prices. But the boss insisted on not cutting or even laying off the big guys, which is already very good. But fortunately, the Explorer company has a very good reputation in the industry, and there are not many people, so it has been able to stick to it until now. You know, now many private survey companies in Europe and the United States have begun to drastically reduce their employees, that is, there are not a few who have closed their doors, and the boss can insist on maintaining the previous level, except for saying that the boss is good-hearted, Tang Feng can't think of any other reason.

After getting the boarding pass and returning to the team, it didn't take long for the boarding prompt to sound, and Tang Feng and his group of twelve people began to line up to board the plane.

The flight was an international flight from San Francisco to Sydney, Australia, and the flight distance was very long, almost from the northeast corner of the Pacific Ocean to the southwest corner of the Pacific Ocean, a journey of more than 12,000 kilometers, and it took nearly 20 hours to float in the air. If it were an ordinary person, it would be absolutely difficult, but for people like Tang Feng and them who orbit the earth all day long, such a voyage is nothing.

This is the case with private mineral resource exploration companies, as long as the price is reasonable, then they will go anywhere, so the work of the employees is to fly all over the sky and the ocean. The explorer company where Tang Feng is located is not very large, there are only fourteen people in total, but the reputation of this company is very loud in the industry. Because under the leadership of the leader, the company has not only successfully detected many mineral resources on land, but also detected many oil and gas fields in the ocean, and what is even more jaw-dropping is that the explorer company has also detected the precise location of two shipwrecks for a shipwreck salvage company in Europe

Therefore, Tang Feng has only been in the Explorer Company for a little more than two years, but he has basically turned around this earth, and the seven continents of the world, except for Antarctica, have not been to Antarctica, and the other six continents have left Tang Feng's footprints, just like Australia this time, this is the third time Tang Feng has gone.

This kind of work is very hard, but it is quite in line with Tang Feng's heart. Tang Feng himself is a person who likes to walk around, otherwise he would not have chosen the major of resource surveying in the first place. You must know that the reason why Tang Feng chose this major was to make two preparations, if you can't pass the civil service examination, then rely on this major to enter the relevant survey team, and then travel to the whole country for free!

And now the facts just made Tang Feng's original two hands ready to use, my father had an accident, and he could no longer take the civil service examination, so he had to enter the survey team, although it was a little different from what he originally thought, but this foreign survey company is also quite good. If you work in China, you can't get such a high salary, not to mention, you can only walk around the one acre and three points of land in China. Now that he has joined the explorer survey company, in addition to the hard work time, Tang Feng is very satisfied with the company's logistics support or the equivalent of free world travel.

In fact, the conditions of foreign private survey companies are much better than those survey teams in China, in China, you may not be able to get a monthly salary of 3,000 US dollars in your life, and in this kind of private survey company abroad, the salary will basically increase significantly every two years, for example, when the salary is opened next month, Tang's monthly salary can rise to 4,500 US dollars, an increase of up to 50%, and the salary in a year will exceed 40,000 US dollars, and you can directly enter the ranks of the middle class salary standard.

And although it is often in the field, the company's logistics support is still very in place, and compared with the simple tools of the domestic survey team, the company's various high-tech equipment is still very complete, which ensures that the physical consumption is minimized during the operation. So the hard work is a little harder, but if this kind of hard work is really compared to the domestic survey team, it is nothing at all.

Aside from the salary, it's this free global tour that is the most appealing. Many of Tang Feng's classmates in college now work in more than a dozen geological survey brigades in various cities in China, and Tang Feng often chats with them in the class group. Many times, while they were living in tents and eating in some poor ravine in China, Tang Feng might be sunbathing on some small island in the Caribbean; While those classmates were firing cannons on the slopes of a certain mountain, Tang Feng might have been admiring the beautiful aurora borealis in Alaska's Eskimo settlement; While those classmates were searching for water in the desert, Tang Feng might have been dancing with lions on the East African savannah

Every time before going out, Tang Feng will always announce the destination in the group, causing a group of livestock and women to sigh in surprise, and when they get to the ground, Tang Feng will take pictures of the local customs with his mobile phone, and then transmit them to the group, which will set off a wave of bloody rain in the group.

This time Tang Feng was no exception, before boarding the plane, he posted the destination in the group, which led to a series of question marks
