"Mr. Smith, this is Wang Changyou. You can just call him Xiao Wang. He is a squad leader of our Hotan Geological Survey Team, a top student who graduated from the Capital University of Geology and has very good abilities. This is Liu Changchuan, Engineer Liu, the backbone of our Hotan Highway Bureau. With the two of them here, basically any problems you have can be solved." Zhao Mingyi, deputy director of the Hotan Regional Investment Promotion Bureau, said to Yang Jing respectfully.
Yang Jing looked at the two people in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. From their faces and hands, it can be seen that they are not the kind of people who sit in offices, but people who should be wandering in the wild all year round, otherwise their skin color would not be like this.
Both of them are not very old. Wang Changyou from the survey team is only 28 years old this year, and Liu Changchuan is only 35 years old. They are both in their prime.
Seeing Yang Jing was very satisfied, Zhao Mingyi was very happy. To be honest, since the big boss had flown around in the air, he proposed to take a few people into the mountains for a field investigation, and specified that there should be a geologist and a road construction expert. What does this mean? This clearly shows that the big boss has already chosen a place after flying around.
As long as the location is chosen, how can the investment be insufficient?
Although Zhao Mingyi was happy in his heart, he still showed a worried look on his face and asked, "Mr. Smith, are you really determined to go into the mountains yourself? That would be very hard and dangerous. You..."
Yang Jing smiled and waved his hand and said, "Director Zhao, this is nothing. When I was in the United States, I often hiked in the Rocky Mountains, and often climbed to the top of a mountain three or four thousand meters high to enjoy the scenery. And I have also been to the Alps in winter. Although the mountains there are not as high as the Kunlun Mountains, the conditions are also quite harsh. I think the current Kunlun Mountains are in good condition. Besides, it's not deep into the super-alpine area in the south, so it's okay."
After a pause, Yang Jing continued, "I am the only one who knows the specific location. If I don't go with you, others may not be able to find that area. And I have bodyguards. They are all retired elite bodyguards from the special forces. This kind of mountainous area at this altitude is nothing to them."
Seeing Yang Jing's insistence, Zhao Mingyi shrugged his shoulders and said nothing more.
Wang Changyou and Liu Changchuan seemed quite excited. They had heard a lot about Mr. Cole Smith these days. As natives of Hotan, they knew what this wealthy boss had done in recent days. Now, this boss had chosen them to go into the mountains with him. This was a very honorable thing.
Especially the blond and blue-eyed boss, who spoke Mandarin so fluently, made Wang Changyou and Liu Changchuan feel a little embarrassed. They were both college graduates, but their Mandarin was a joke compared to this foreign boss.
"Engineer Wang, Engineer Liu, do you two need to prepare anything else? We are going into the mountains this time and we will probably need to stay there for a few days, so you guys have to be prepared." Yang Jing asked the two with some concern.
Wang Changyou said nervously, "Mr. Smith, don't worry about this. We have already prepared everything we need. I am familiar with that mountainous area, and I also know the supply points of some Tibetan hunters in the mountains. You don't have to worry about us."
Liu Changchuan at the side said with a smile, "Yes, Mr. Smith, Xiao Wang is a well-known figure among us and the field workers. In the five years since he graduated and started working, he has traveled almost all the mountainous areas in the north of Kunlun Mountain. Not to mention the area we went to, Xiao Wang has even been to some places in the southern high mountain area."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jing looked at the young man with obvious highland red on his face with some surprise. He really didn't expect that this young man was so amazing.
Wang Changyou felt a little embarrassed by being looked at, and scratched his head to explain, "Mr. Smith, I work in geological surveying. If I don't understand the actual situation in the local area, I will definitely not be able to do this job well, so..."
Having said that, Yang Jing still gave the young man a thumbs up.
Everyone prepared for the whole day, and early the next morning, they got on the car and drove east along National Highway 315.
Yang Jing and his group naturally rode in the two Mitsubishi Pajeros provided by the autonomous region government, while Wang Changyou and Liu Changchuan brought a Lada Niva off-road vehicle.
When Yang Jing saw this car, he was surprised for a moment, but then he was relieved.
In the 1980s, when people talked about off-road vehicles in China, the most popular thing was the 212 Jeep, in addition to imported off-road vehicles such as Mitsubishi and Cherokee. But in fact, in the 1980s, there was also a small off-road vehicle produced in the Soviet Union that was also very popular, that is, Lada Niva.
This legendary off-road vehicle, which was born in 1970 and still retains its charm today, was produced by the Lada Automobile Plant in the former Soviet Union.
The first car produced by the former Soviet Union's Lada Automobile Plant, which was established in 1966, was called 2101, an imitation of the Italian Fiat 124. The Lada Niva is a small off-road vehicle independently developed by the Lada Automobile Plant based on the 2101 chassis and power. It began development before 1973. The prototype car has many similarities with the former Soviet military Jeep GAZ-69, but the body and power system are more similar to the national car Lada 2101. It was mass-produced in 1977 and subsequently sold to Eastern European countries. In the 1910s, some of them entered China through barter.
