Happy Tycoon

The speed of the Trident passenger plane was still acceptable. After more than four hours of flight, the passenger plane finally landed steadily at Diwopu Airport.

Compared with the prosperity of Diwopu Airport in later generations, this airport, like the Capital Airport, is very simple and deserted, with not many people.

Similarly, Urumqi in this era is far from being as big as thirty years later. Thirty years later, Diwopu Airport is almost surrounded by the urban area, but now, after leaving the airport, all you can see is the Beyond the mountains and snow-capped mountains, there are endless farmlands left. It feels like Zhongwu City is still far away from the airport.

Because Wu Dawei had already contacted the autonomous region government before coming here, so after Yang Jing and the others got off the plane, there was already a minibus waiting outside the airport. A group of people from the Foreign Affairs Office of the autonomous region and the China Merchants Bureau also waited outside the gate early, and when they saw Yang Jing and his group coming out, they greeted them excitedly.

Although there are quite a few joint ventures in China these days, most of those joint ventures are located in the eastern coastal provinces. In purely inland provinces like Xinjiang Province, foreign capital still rarely comes in.

When Wu Dawei contacted the autonomous region government at that time, he said that their boss would go to Xinjiang Province for inspection. If it was suitable, he would invest according to the situation. The minimum investment amount was more than 20 million U.S. dollars, and there was no upper limit!

This figure is definitely an unimaginable sum of foreign capital for Xinjiang Province in this era, so the autonomous region government attaches great importance to this inspection from top to bottom. Especially when Wu Dawei said that even if this investigation fails, their boss will donate no less than 10 million US dollars to improve local transportation, drinking water and other basic livelihood projects.

In fact, with the support of the Evil Dragon Fund, the patriotic overseas Chinese Pete Wu has always left a very good impression in the eyes of the senior management of China after he entered China a few years ago. At that time, Huaxia's foreign exchange reserves were pitifully small, but at that time, Pete Wu directly donated tens of millions of dollars on behalf of the Dragon Fund to support Huaxia, and later donated a large amount of money every year without asking What kind of return, this made Pete Wu even register with the leader. Even the leaders of Xinjiang Province have heard of the name Pete Wu.

Now that Pete Wu's boss has personally come to Xinjiang Province for inspection, Xinjiang Province must pay more attention to it from top to bottom.

Yang Jing couldn't bear the warm hospitality of the leaders, but he had to accept it. If he didn't accept such warm hospitality, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

So, Yang Jing spent the whole day dealing with these leaders, but today passed, and tomorrow there are still many leaders waiting to negotiate with Yang Jing.

There is no way, even though Xinjiang Province is the largest province in the country, but in this era, there is really no foreign investment in Xinjiang Province. Now it is hard for a super rich foreign boss to come in. It would be dereliction of duty if these leaders didn't seize this opportunity.

In desperation, Yang Jing had no choice but to directly announce a charitable donation of 20 million U.S. dollars to Xinjiang Province to improve the basic livelihood of the people in Xinjiang Province.

The current money doesn't matter to Yang Jing anymore, 20 million dollars is nothing more than two estates, it really doesn't matter.

Although Yang Jing looks like a foreigner now, he is really a Chinese. Besides, the money was earned from foreigners, so it is absolutely natural for Yang Jing to donate it to the poor areas in the country.

Sure enough, as soon as the 20 million dollars were thrown out, everything went smoothly. Especially when the main leaders of the autonomous region heard that Yang Jing was going to visit southern Xinjiang, they immediately arranged a special plane for Yang Jing and his party. Although it was an old-fashioned military transport plane, it was still a special plane, right?

But Yang Jing politely declined the offer. In his past and present lives, Yang Jing had never been to Xinjiang Province, so taking advantage of his visit to Xinjiang Province this time, Yang Jing decided to take a bus from Wushi to Southern Xinjiang. On the way, take a good look at the great rivers and mountains in Xinjiang Province.

In order to meet the needs of Yang Jing and the others, the autonomous region government donated the best two imported Mitsubishi Pajero jeeps specially used to entertain foreign guests. It was supposed to provide drivers for Yang Jing and the others, but Yang Jing declined again.

Just kidding, the five bodyguards brought here are all good drivers, besides, Yang Jing also wanted to feel the heroism of driving in the desert.

In this way, Yang Jing and his group rested for another night in the guest house of the autonomous region, and then in the morning of the third day when they arrived in Urumqi, the moon in the sky had not yet set, and a group of eight of them set out on the road—— The government specially sent a deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Office to accompany the whole process to solve possible problems.

The car is still good. The imported Mitsubishi cars of this era are far from comparable to the imported cars of later generations. Little Japan still has a bit of conscience in this era. In the Paris-Dakar Rally of this era, Mitsubishi cars are in a dominant position.

However, although the car was good, the road conditions really made Yang Jing no longer have the desire to complain.

Yang Jing has experienced the most difficult road in his life. Naturally, it was the road from Myanmar to Pagan, but this road from Wushi to Korla is actually stronger than the road in Myanmar. not going anywhere.

This highway is a section of the Aba Line. The so-called Aba Line is a road from ALT to Bayingol League, which is the old 216 National Highway.

Although it is a national road, the national roads of this era are not as good as the county roads twenty years later, and even some villages have better access to roads than the national roads of this era.

Most of the national highways in this era are two-way and two-lane, especially in such inland provinces, there are almost no spacious national highways. In fact, in this day and age, let alone an underdeveloped province like Xinjiang, even in a province like Lu Province, where the roads are well-known throughout the country, most of the national roads look like this.

Yang Jing heard from his father that in the 1980s, even in the urban area of ​​Tianqu, there were only two two-way four-lane roads, and most of the roads in the urban area were two-lane.

Two lanes are just two lanes, it's better if you level it up. But just like the roads in this era are generally not wide, there are not many roads in this era that are in good condition. Especially this kind of road in the middle of mountains and deserts, the road conditions are even worse, which makes people crazy.

Yang Jing thought that after the trip to Myanmar, he would never encounter such a difficult road again, but this time he came to Xinjiang Province, this road directly made him experience the madness of being trapped.

If it is a light pit, it is better. The most important thing is that this road will enter the Tianshan Mountains not far from Urumqi, especially when passing the Tianshan No. 1 Glacier, this road cannot be used alone. To describe it, when walking this tens of kilometers long mountain road, it is simply a cautious one.

However, the scenery of the No. 1 glacier next to the Aba Line Highway is really shocking. This glacier is 2.4 kilometers long, with an average width of 500 meters and an area of ​​1.85 square kilometers. It is only a few hundred meters away from the glacier. Looking at the past from the road, you can directly see the crystal clear blue inside the glacier, the cracks on the ice surface, the pyramid-like peaks, the jagged ridges, the arc-shaped glaciers and the noisy glacier river are unique and shocking.

Have you seen this mountain? Wang Renzhong, deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Office sitting on the co-pilot, pointed to a snow-capped mountain not far from the front right.

Yang Jing, who was driving, looked in the direction Director Wang pointed and found a peak.

This mountain is 4,350 meters above sea level, and it is the highest mountain in the vicinity. At the same time, because this mountain is close to this road, it is considered to be a landmark snow peak separating the northern and southern Xinjiang. We locals call it Shengli Daban .”

Yang Jing nodded.

This kind of snow-capped mountain pass with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters has two completely different views on the mountain and below the mountain. The sun was still shining brightly at the foot of the mountain just now, but here, there is snow and mist everywhere, and even the ground is covered with transparent dark ice. The most important thing is that the winding mountain road under this terrain is really dangerous.

After Yang Jing drove through the pass carefully at a speed of less than 30 kilometers per hour, the sky cleared up again, and the magnificent scenery of Tianshan Mountain was once again unobstructed.

Yang Jing and the others set off at six o'clock in the morning, and arrived in Barentai Town at almost two o'clock in the afternoon. They ran for nearly eight hours for the 200-kilometer journey, which shows how difficult this road is.

However, there is still less than 150 kilometers away from Barentai Town to the destination Korla. If all goes well, it will take about four hours to reach Korla.

At noon, the group ate in Barentai Town. This small town is located deep in the Tianshan Mountains. It is the intersection of National Highway 216 and National Highway 218. Both sides are mountains with an altitude of 1,000 meters. Because in spring, snow-capped mountains melt into water. The converging Wulastai River roared from the valley where the town is located and rushed downstream. Finally, when this roaring and unruly river drilled out of the mountain, it would bring abundant water to Korla and Hejing near the mountain pass. .

Eventually, the river will continue to rush across the Gobi Desert, then join the Kaidu River, and finally flow into the famous Bosten Lake.

It's a pity that the route Yang Jing and the others took didn't pass by the shore of Bosten Lake, otherwise Yang Jing really wanted to visit Bosten Lake. After all, this lake is the largest inland freshwater lake in China, and the scenery is really nice.

But this time I don't have a chance to play there. When I return to the original time and space, I can bring Gege here for a free self-driving tour.

Along the way, although the road is difficult, the scenery is definitely not covered. Walking all the way and seeing all the way, even if Yang Jing drove for several hours, he didn't feel bored at all.

Especially in the 1980s when there was no pollution, this place is simply the purest original ecology.

At around 7 o'clock in the evening, the two cars finally arrived in Korla, but at this point, the sun was still hanging in the western sky.

Yang Jing and the others will rest here for one night, and then move on the next day, but from Korla to Hotan, the journey of more than 1,000 kilometers will take two days.
