Of course, thanks to his ability to "smell gold," he can accurately determine the gold content of each piece of land, making it almost impossible for him to misjudge.
The biggest reason why most gold mining teams lose money is that they misjudge the market.
Ordinary gold mining teams can only determine the gold content of land through methods such as land surveying.
However, the distribution of gold underground is often uneven. It is possible that the area being surveyed has a good gold content, but other areas may not have much.
In this situation, if you spend a lot of money to rent land and start a mine, you may end up losing everything.
In Alaska, this situation is very common, and it could even be said to be the fate of most gold rush teams.
This is a high-stakes gamble, with very low odds of winning.
But for Zhou Xin, this wasn't a high-stakes gamble; it was playing his cards openly.
Of course, this is on the premise that he tries to travel to every part of the land and has a full understanding of the gold content underground.
This will inevitably require a lot of time to investigate, and even a month or so might not be enough.
After all, it takes a lot of time to build a mine and start operations once the land is secured. In Alaska, the gold rush season is fleeting, and a single day's delay can result in huge losses.
Thinking about this, Zhou Xin began to feel the urgency of time.
He had originally planned to rest for a few days, but now it seems he has to set off immediately.
Then, a problem suddenly occurred to him: the traffic problem.
His previous secondhand pickup truck had mediocre performance and various problems, and it had almost no off-road capability.
However, to conduct a detailed survey of suitable land as quickly as possible, a vehicle with sufficient off-road capability is needed to carry out the survey work.
Many of these lands had roads built by the landlords themselves, but they were usually rough and rugged dirt roads.
In this situation, having a vehicle with strong off-road capabilities, capable of traveling to as many places as possible and as quickly as possible, becomes extremely important.
Moreover, even after the mine is up and running, an off-road vehicle is very useful and necessary, which can be considered an investment in the mine.
So, the next day, after Zhou Xin and A Luo finished the mechanical operation training course, they went to the car market to pick out a car.
Gas is cheap in the United States, so Zhou Xin can buy a car with a larger engine without any worries.
He had his eye on the Land Rover Defender OCTA, but soon his attention was drawn to an orange pickup truck.
This is absolutely a performance beast, a masterpiece in both the pickup truck and sports car worlds.
Without a doubt, this car is enough to make any man in the world's heart race; even the allure of a stunningly beautiful woman might not be as strong.
Zhou Xin realized that his judgment was correct. After listening to the shop owner's explanation, he was completely captivated.
He even felt that if he had to choose between Zhang Jianing and this Dodge Mammoth right now, he would choose the car.
This is the ultimate off-road vehicle I've always wanted; I'm going to buy it!
Although he was incredibly tempted, Zhou Xin didn't immediately inquire about the price. Instead, he checked the official price of the car on his phone.
The car in front of us is the top-of-the-line model, with an official price of $37.5.
Indeed, top-notch performance comes at a top-notch price.
Add in state tax, city tax, and other sales taxes, as well as vehicle purchase tax, and the on-the-road price will be around 40.
Thinking about the price, Zhou Xin hesitated again.
Although he already has a fortune of over 300 million US dollars, he is still somewhat reluctant to spend 40 dollars on a car.
Although the money left over after buying the car was enough to start the mine, one can't be without some reserve funds.
Of course, he can also choose to finance the purchase, which is the car purchase method that the shop owner prefers.
Even in many 4S dealerships in the United States, paying in full for a car requires an additional fee.
The shop owner quickly noticed the hesitation on his face and knew that he was struggling with the price of the car.
"My friend, this is a really good car. Believe me, you won't find it anywhere else for such a low price!"
The shop owner is telling the truth; most stores will sell these limited edition cars at a premium.
If the shop owner wasn't in a hurry to recoup his losses, it's definitely impossible for them to sell to him at the original price.
"If you really don't have enough money, you can apply for a mortgage. Bankers are very efficient, and you can complete the formalities and drive it away today."
The shop owner continued his offensive, determined to win over this customer in one fell swoop.
In his opinion, the guy in front of him was definitely putting on a show; he didn't look like someone who could afford this car.
But it doesn't matter if you can't afford it, as long as you're willing to take out a mortgage, things will be much easier.
Even if his credit score is low and the loan interest rate is high, that's none of my business.
Whether they can repay the loan in the future or whether they will be slaughtered by capital, those are things that bankers need to consider.
All he needs to do is successfully sell his car and recoup the losses.
The shop owner, all smiles, continued, "If you agree, I'll contact a bank employee for you right now."
Zhou Xin breathed a sigh of relief and made a decision in his heart.
"No need, I've decided to buy it, full price."
"Okay, okay, I'll contact the bank right away—what?!"
The shop owner looked up, his eyes wide with disbelief, at the man in front of him.
