"Let me calculate. After deducting losses and multiplying by 400, this piece of gold is probably worth... more than 170,000!" Li Chunlai was so surprised after calculating that he opened his mouth and stared at everyone.
"170,000! My God, this piece is so heavy! It doesn't look that heavy at all." Huang Fei sighed as he weighed the gold in his hand.
"This money is so good that it's worth it, even if it's just digging a hole more than ten meters deep."
"It's only been a short time, and we've already made 270,000 yuan. If we keep doing this for a day, the profits will surely reach a million!" Li Chunlai calculated verbally, his eyes gleaming.
"One million? My God! Our mine has so many people and so much money invested, and we only make a little over a million a day!"
"And we actually made more than a million in one day, it's unbelievable just thinking about it." Li Chunlai scratched his head in amazement, feeling it was all too real.
In the past, it was quite difficult to earn a few hundred yuan a day, but now it's easy to earn hundreds of thousands or even millions a day. The difference is truly enormous.
The results he has achieved now are something Li Chunlai never dared to dream of before.
"Haha, this gold has been buried here for decades. It looks like it was just waiting for us. Damn it, you wait for me to work here for ten days or half a month, and I'll dare to even mention a Land Cruiser!"
Huang Fei was extremely excited, waving his hand vigorously, his mouth agape.
"One million a day, ten million in ten days, plus the previous nine hundred thousand, damn, if that's really the case, I have to get my hands on that Mercedes with the hood ornament!"
"The Mercedes-Benz logo isn't just a symbol; it's a symbol of my insecurity that I can never face my relatives with!"
Li Chunlai spoke viciously, his eyes filled with the pleasure of revenge.
His parents were genuine country folk; his father had farmed all his life.
Li Chunlai was always idle and his parents couldn't control him, so after his grandfather passed away, Li Chunlai lived in his grandfather's house by himself, while his parents lived in the house next door.
Although no one in the village dared to mess with Li Chunlai, and his relatives didn't dare to do anything to him, his extended family members also looked down on him.
They've been talking about him behind his back for who knows how long, and the ridicule and sarcasm have never stopped.
Li Chunlai knew about this situation, but all he could do was ensure that no one dared to say anything to his face. He couldn't control whether people mocked him behind his back.
Nobody wants to be born a scoundrel; they're all forced into it.
If Li Chunlai didn't behave this way, his relatives would dare to laugh at and ridicule him to his face.
His father had a hunched back from farming his whole life. Despite his hard work, he still couldn't hold his head up in front of his relatives and was always sighing.
Who doesn't want their family to live a good life and be able to hold their head high in front of relatives?
His father had been bent over his whole life, and no doctor could cure him except for a Mercedes-Benz.
"How come there are suddenly so many more cars available to pick up? Hahaha," Lin Nian laughed.
"Brother Feng, whatever you say, I'll do it. I'm willing to go through fire and water for you!" Li Chunlai suddenly became excited, his eyes sparkling.
No one knows the feeling of being looked down upon your whole life and suddenly seeing your day come.
He knew that even if he had two million, he shouldn't have bought such an expensive car, even one worth over a million. But it was more than just a car; it represented the dignity he had never possessed before.
Li Chunlai is determined to show off!
"No, no, it's not that big of a deal. If you're talking about wishful thinking, I can't help you achieve it, but if you're talking about something like a Mercedes-Benz Land Cruiser with a hood ornament, I can definitely get it done."
"Let's all get a new car when we go home!" Chen Feng shouted, getting everyone excited.
"Let's do it!"
"We have to do it!"
"Damn it, bottoms up!"
The group carried their tools and headed towards the prefabricated houses, ready to start digging early the next morning.
After everyone returned home, Chen Jianguo, who was cooking, suddenly felt that these young men were acting a little differently.
They all looked like they had smoke coming out of their heads and fire spitting fire in their eyes, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Shaking his head, Chen Jianguo didn't ask what happened and continued cooking. Young people are like that, it's normal for them to suddenly act like this.
He'd been through something like that too; he was way more passionate than they were back then.
After all, he was truly passionate back then, blood was spilled all over the ground, and then he ran for twenty years.
"How much is the second piece of gold worth?" Chen Jianguo asked, flipping the pot over.
“Over 170,000. Look, this is a whole size bigger than the last one.” Li Chunlai said, taking out the gold from his pocket while smoking.
"Wow, 170,000! How come they're all so big? Could it be that they haven't finished mining down here?" Chen Jianguo said incredulously.
"That's why it's called finding a bargain," Chen Feng said, taking a sip of water.
"This is called finding a bargain. Brother Qi has been running mining sites for so many years, and he has never heard of anyone making hundreds of thousands of yuan a day. Usually, a few hundred or a thousand yuan a day is considered good."
"And yet, when you arrived, the starting price was hundreds of thousands, and the key point is that this only took a few hours."
"Who's picking up whose bargain? How can you pick up a bargain like that?" Chen Jianguo shook his head and chuckled.
"Brother Qi just didn't know me sooner. If he had known me earlier, he would have been making hundreds of thousands a day by now." Chen Feng peeled a peanut and threw it into his mouth.
"Well, it's all about timing, location, and people. Gold panning is all about fate. This gold hadn't been dug up for decades, but you found it as soon as you arrived. It's destiny with you," Chen Jianguo said as he served the dishes.
"Others rely on fate to strike it rich, but not me," Chen Feng said, adding to himself.
"I'll check the system."
"Come on, let's eat. When you go to the toilet tonight, don't go too far. There are a lot of pits in this area. Don't fall in while you're not paying attention, or you'll be in big trouble," Chen Jianguo warned.
“Okay, there are still so many flashlights in the prefab house, take one with you when you go out at night.” Huang Fei nodded.
Today's meal was just simple home-cooked food, and everyone ate quite quickly. A few of us made some tea, drank it, and then went back to sleep.
The next morning, Chen Feng got dressed and was about to go out to wash up when he was almost blown back by a strong gust of wind.
"Bang!"
That was the sound of the prefab door hitting the sheet metal, rattling loudly in the wind.
Lin Nian was still sleeping inside when the noise startled him. He sat up abruptly, his sleepy eyes still filled with fear.
"Holy crap, why is the wind so strong?" Chen Feng said, squinting as he covered his eyes with his sleeve.
It seems like washing up outside today will be too much trouble, so I'll just have to wash up a little bit inside.
Chen Feng came back with a basin, picked up a bucket and poured water into it, and saw Lin Nian sitting up.
