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 is now as simple and deserted as the Capital Airport, with not many people.

Similarly, Urumqi at this era was not as big as it would be thirty years later. Thirty years later, Diwopu Airport was almost surrounded by the urban area, but now, after leaving the airport, all you can see except the mountains and snow-capped mountains in the distance are endless farmlands. It feels like Urumqi is still a long way from the airport.

Because Wu Dawei had already contacted the regional government before coming, a minibus was waiting outside the airport when Yang Jing and his group got off the plane. People from the Regional Foreign Affairs Office and the Merchants Bureau were also waiting outside the gate early, and when they saw Yang Jing and his group coming out, they greeted them excitedly.

Although there are many joint ventures in China these days, most of them are located in the eastern coastal provinces. In purely inland provinces like Xinjiang, foreign investment is still rare.

When Wu Dawei contacted the autonomous region government, he said that their boss would come to Xinjiang Province for inspection. If it was suitable, investment would be made based on the situation. The minimum investment amount was more than 20 million US dollars, and there was no upper limit!

This amount of foreign investment was absolutely unimaginable for Xinjiang Province at that time, so the autonomous region government attached great importance to this investigation from top to bottom. Especially when Wu Dawei said that even if the investigation did not produce any results, their boss would donate no less than 10 million US dollars to improve local transportation, drinking water and other basic livelihood projects.

In fact, after the patriotic overseas Chinese Peter Wu entered China with the support of the Dragon Fund a few years ago, he has always left a very good impression in the eyes of the Chinese top leaders. At that time, China's foreign exchange reserves were pitifully small, but at that time, Peter Wu donated tens of millions of dollars directly on behalf of the Dragon Fund to support China. Later, he donated large sums of money every year without asking for anything in return, which made Peter Wu even register with the leaders. Even the leaders of Xinjiang Province have heard of the name Peter Wu.

Now that Peter Wu's boss has come to Xinjiang Province in person to inspect, Xinjiang Province from top to bottom will certainly pay more attention to it.

Yang Jing felt a little overwhelmed by the warm hospitality of his leaders, but he had to accept it. If he did not accept their warm hospitality, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?

So, Yang Jing spent the whole day dealing with these leaders, but today was over and tomorrow there were still many leaders waiting to "negotiate" with Yang Jing.

There is no way. Although Xinjiang is the largest province in the country, there is really no foreign investment in Xinjiang in this era. Now, finally a super rich foreign boss has plunged in. It would be dereliction of duty if the leaders of Xinjiang Province do not seize this opportunity.

In desperation, Yang Jing had to directly announce a charitable donation of 20 million US dollars to Xinjiang Province to improve the basic people's livelihood in Xinjiang Province.

Money now doesn’t matter to Yang Jing. Twenty million US dollars is nothing more than two manors. It really doesn’t matter.

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

Sure enough, once the 20 million dollars came out, everything immediately became smooth. 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?

However, Yang Jing declined the kindness. In his past and present lives combined, Yang Jing had never been to Xinjiang Province. So, taking advantage of this trip to Xinjiang Province, Yang Jing decided to take a bus from Urumqi to southern Xinjiang and appreciate the beautiful scenery of Xinjiang Province along the way.

In order to meet the needs of Yang Jing and his team, the autonomous region government contributed two of the best imported Mitsubishi Pajero jeeps that were specially used to entertain foreign guests. They were also going to provide Yang Jing and his team with a driver, but Yang Jing declined again.

Just kidding, the five bodyguards brought are all driving experts. Besides, Yang Jing also wants to experience the heroic feeling of driving across the desert.

In this way, Yang Jing and his group rested for another night in the autonomous region guesthouse, and then on the morning of the third day after arriving in Urumqi, the moon in the sky had not yet set, but they set off - the autonomous region government specially sent a deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Office to accompany them throughout the journey to solve any problems they might encounter.

The car is still good. The imported Mitsubishi cars of this era are far from comparable to those imported cars of later generations. In this era, the small Japanese still have some conscience. In the Paris-Dakar Rally of this era, Mitsubishi cars are the dominant force.

Although the car was good, the road conditions really made Yang Jing lose the desire to even complain.

The most difficult road Yang Jing had ever experienced in his life was naturally the road he took from Myanmar to Hpakant, but this road from Urumqi to Korla is actually not much better than the road in Myanmar.

This highway is a section of the Aba Line, which is a highway from Altay to Bayinguole League, which is the old National Highway 216.

Although it is a national highway, the national highways of this era are really not as good as the county roads twenty years later. Even some village roads are easier to travel than the national highways of this era.
