Chapter 138: I can't be happy

Once in Ruoqiang, the two had two choices on the road: continue along National Highway 315 to Haiqing Province, or go north to Bayingol and Turpan. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Zhang Nan chose to walk along National Highway 315, but after entering Haiqingsheng, he turned north to Provincial Highway 305 to Dunhuang.

As soon as he heard this arrangement, Guan Xingquan said: "That section of the road is not easy to walk, except for the mountainous area is a desert road, especially in the middle of the 900-kilometer road, there is only a cliff administrative committee is a county-level unit, and the others only have the petroleum engineering team and some small towns, and the distance between each place is hundreds of kilometers if you are not careful!"

There seems to be a county in the middle, but it is already very close to Dunhuang, so you can ignore it directly.

But having said that, the two still decided to take the path chosen by Zhang Nan: because Guan Xingquan also wanted to go to Mogao Grottoes to see.

As for the problem that the weather is too hot, after surviving the Gobi Desert, there are several roads leading to Haiqing Province in the Hexi Corridor, and a turn can directly cool you down.

However, at that time, the two of them are probably not in the mood to see any Qinghai Lake, and they are likely to run all the way along the Hexi Corridor to Shaanxi Province.

"When we arrived in Shaanxi Province, we had to stop by to see three places. ”

"Digging something?"

"It's hard to say, there are two places where we can move and we can do it, and the other place will go to investigate, even if we can dig it, we can't move, our car is too small. ”

Jeep too small?

What would that be?

On the same day, at the post and telecommunications office in Ruoqiang, Zhang Nan sent a telegram to his family, reporting that he was safe, and by the way, he would not be able to go back until a while later.

If you can't get through on the phone these days, then this is the way to communicate faster, if writing a letter will make you feel desperately slow!

In the next three days, the two drove from Ruoqiang to Dunhuang!

It's a real rush: once you enter the Altun Mountains, you can't get up to speed. The speed of the car is as slow as a snail, and in many places, there is a road, which is a flat terrace, and it is completely dependent on time. And after entering the Gobi Highway, the road is straight, and both of them are up to 100 yards!

Halfway down the road, I also ran into an old liberation truck that broke down, and when I saw Zhang Nan and their jeep coming, the two truck drivers were happy!

These two truck drivers pulled a truckload of dry goods from Xijiang to Haiqing, but there was a problem with the spark plug - there was only one spare item, but three of them were broken before and after!

The old driver has the old driver's way: if you are in the plains, you can drive with two less cylinders (this is not a joke, the truck drivers of thirty or forty years ago could have done this!). But this is in the mountains of the Altun Mountains, plus it is a heavy car, and the two are directly dumbfounded.

What to do?

Silly wait!

People who run in remote areas for long-distance travel have ten days and a half of living supplies in the car, otherwise they can starve to death and die of thirst!

But it wasn't until the third day that a car passed by, and this is a national highway!

Zhang Nan: Of course, they have spark plug spare parts, or a whole box.

It's okay if the length is not the same: try it, the diameter is the same, and the gasket is OK.

gave the other party 5 spark plugs, and the truck driver directly gave the two of them a large bag of raisins, which was a dozen pounds!

Drivers will help each other, especially on roads like this, and you may not know when you will encounter difficulties.

To help others is to help yourself.

On the first night, the two of them missed the settlement in order to get on the road, so they simply slept in the car - this was in the Altun Mountains, and it was safe to get a snow leopard down from the mountain.

Encounter several salt lakes along the way, desolate!

When you enter the S305 provincial highway, you will face the vast Gobi Desert!

After staying in Dunhuang for a day, Zhang Nan took a lot of photos.

Because on the way to Mogao Grottoes, he would pass through the small airport in Dunhuang, Guan Xingquan also quipped: "Why don't you take a plane to Xi'an first?"

"you!"

All the way through Guazhou, Jiayuguan, Jiuquan, Zhangye, Wuwei, Lanzhou, until Baoji!

Guan Xingquan's interest was very high, and the goal was in front of him, but after Zhang Nan went to a village called Yimen in the south of the city, the two of them couldn't be happy.

"Got a baby?"

"Yes, very precious. But it's too close to the village, and it's at least five or six meters underground, and you can't get out at once. ”

Exhaled, "Forget it, there is nothing perfect in this world, and all good things can't belong to us, so leave it to the archaeological team." ”

It's not that he can't crack the hole of this depth, but thinking about his worth, he can't put himself in such a dangerous situation: not whether he is guilty of breaking the law or not, but the hole itself - it is the work of tying his head to the belt of his trousers!

Guan Xingquan felt a little pity, but he was not reluctant.

Since they gave up, the two no longer have nostalgia and take the car to Xi'an.

Passing through Meixian County on the way, we drove to a place called Yangjia Village, Majia Town. In front of a dirt cliff far away from the village, Zhang Nan tried it horizontally with a metal detector.

"Crackling" sounded.

"Brother Guan, come and listen!" shouted Guan Xingquan, who was looking at the wind from above.

Substitutions.

After some investigation, when the two of them finally packed up their things, Guan Xingquan asked: "It seems to be a bronze vessel, it should be one or two meters deep, and there are a lot of things!"

"We can't take this trip with us, and we can't fit this car. We will recognize the door, at least ten years will be given to us, no hurry. ”

Since Zhang Nan said that he was not in a hurry, Guan Xingquan was even less anxious.

Before going to Xi'an to stay, the two of them also ran to a place in the north of the city called Shilipu Village, which was easy to find, and there was a huge brick kiln factory.

"Anan, what's here?"

"My favorite, gold!"

"You have more than 200 million dollars, and you're afraid that you won't have gold?"

Now Guan Xingquan's vision is different: if he simply likes gold, Zhang Nan can casually buy tons of gold in the United States and watch and play at home!

"Is the gold of the Han Dynasty good!"

"Baoji is also gold?"

"Well, it's still the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but it's not quite. I didn't talk about that, I said I was annoyed. ”

Zhang Nan was annoyed: because the huge brick factory made him lose his sense of direction.

I took out a small notebook, and there were words on the top two pages, one of which read: Xi'an Shilipu, early November '99.

Put away the notebook and said to Guan Xingquan, who was standing there looking at the scenery: "It seems that we will come back here in more than ten years, which will make us blind and difficult to find." ”

The brick kiln factory dug a huge deep pit, and the side of the platform is even more huge, even if the two of them can use the detector in broad daylight, don't even think about probing over without a week's effort!

Guan Xingquan didn't ask why, so let's go.

Where to go? Finding a place to live, of course.

The thousands of kilometers down this road are all wandering around the most difficult places in China, and even those roads are often one or two hundred kilometers of no-man's land as soon as they are opened!

Even after entering the Hexi Corridor, the conditions were difficult, but after arriving in the southern part of Gansu, it was relatively good.

A super tyrant plus a bodyguard, what will happen to this will have to find a place to rest and recuperate. And tomorrow is July 1st, and I haven't called home and the United States for a month, so I have to find a place where I can make international calls.

"Go to the Xiqin Hotel. ”

I made a map of Xi'an and went straight to the hotel in the south of Xi'an City, known as "Shaanxi's Diaoyutai".

An hour later, Zhang Nan was soaking in the bathtub and calling the United States, which would estimate that it would be time for Nicole and them to get up.

"Dear Nicole, miss me?"

Zhang Nan's phone flirtation was exchanged for an exaggerated exclamation: "Alan, you have finally appeared! We have been looking for you for half a month..."

Nicole "crackled" and kept talking, and it was all good news: At present, Zhang Nan has 300 million funds in the stock market! In addition, the small farm in Hawkson, Suffolkshire, England, has also been taken, and all the formalities have been completed.

Zhang Nan is not in the UK, what should I do?

It was purchased in the name of a wholly-owned holding company authorized by him, and the authorization procedures had already been completed in the United States.

The last good news is that the investment company has been registered, the people have been gathered, and the office of the Empire State Building has been renovated, just waiting for the boss to come and do a big job!

Zhang Nan actually knew that Nicole should give him good news: he had already called home, and his sister said that the United States had contacted him several times, but she only said that it was good news, and did not talk about it specifically. However, the business invitation letter for 20 people has arrived, and the formalities are being processed.

This time, even two leaders in the region will go with them, and this time the favor is great!

After calculating the schedule, he said into the phone: "I will still be in the west of China, I just went to Central Asia, it will take at least 20 days to go to New York, you and Anne will follow my plan, and all the stocks will be sold before August 1." ”

"Obey your orders, my boss! By the way, boss, are you going abroad?"

Hearing Nicole's witty words, Zhang Nan smiled, "No, part of China is also within the geographical scope of Central Asia, and I went to the Taklamakan Desert, the Sea of Death." ”

"I know, it's the second largest mobile desert in the world, boss, you're amazing..."

After talking nonsense with Nicole and talking to Anne for a while, I hung up the phone.

After thinking about it, I made a call to the Beijing International Hotel again. Coincidentally, Weng Qianhui was at work, but Weng Yeming was not there.

"Brother Zhang, Ye Ming has already collected a room full of things, and I don't know if you like it or not. Also, we went to inquire about the compound of the department store, and the leader over there said that it would cost 800,000 US dollars, otherwise it would be difficult to sell it to a private person..."

800,000 US dollars, that is 3 million yuan, if the price is higher according to the black market, it will be nearly 4 million yuan!

"When will the other party be able to go through the formalities?"

"The warehouse has been vacated, and I plan to contact you the day after tomorrow, saying that I will wait a month at most, otherwise I will tear down part of it and build a dormitory. ”

When Zhang Nan heard this, he hurriedly said: "Then you tell them that I will go to the capital to do this in a few days." But don't promise too much, I'm afraid that people will regret it. ”

"I understand, Mr. Zhang. ”

After finishing speaking, he dialed the phone number of his brother-in-law's house again, and after connecting, it was Xiang Weirong who answered: "Brother-in-law, Brother Guan and I are going to the capital, do you see if you can send two reliable drivers to Xi'an as soon as possible and drive the car back?"

Xiang Weirong on the other end heard it and said, "Then I'll ask your sister to call immediately to book a plane ticket." By the way, is there anything important in the car?"

"Yes, quite a few. ”

"Yes, wait for my call. ”

Xiang Weirong knew that Zhang Nan's room phone number in Xi'an Hotel had already been mentioned in the previous contact.

After Zhang Nan finished taking a bath and getting dressed, the phone rang again: "Anan, the earliest is the plane the day after tomorrow, and I will arrive at Xi'an Airport at about seven o'clock in the evening, I have already booked a ticket, and I will come with Yongqiang." ”

Since my brother-in-law has the time, this is the best, rest assured!

agreed that he and Guan Xingquan would go to the airport to pick up people at that time, so they hung up the phone.

I called the hotel reception again, asking for two air tickets to the capital the day after tomorrow, and then booking the room where my brother-in-law and their brother will stay when they arrive.

After that, I called Weng Qianhui again, informed him of his flight number, booked a room, and asked the International Hotel to send a car to the airport to pick up people.

As for his more than 100 tons of Hetian jade, don't worry, they haven't arrived at Cao'e Freight Transfer Station yet. I also said hello to the Materials Bureau, and when the time comes, it will be transported to the villa on the top of the mountain in batches, and I will find a few warehouses to pile up first, and my sister and Director Guo will keep an eye on this matter.

After all the calls were made, Zhang Nan found that he seemed to have forgotten something.

"Yes, I haven't told Brother Guan yet. ”

The two did not live in a suite, but door to door.

When I arrived at Guan Xingquan's room opposite, I saw that he seemed to have just finished taking a shower, "The day after tomorrow, my brother-in-law and Yongqiang came by plane to pick up the car, let's go to the capital, do you have any problems?"

Guan Xingquan glanced at Zhang Nan and didn't speak, but Zhang Nan could see that this guy was playing cool again: with an expression that still needs to be asked.

He also called home just now: everything is fine at home, the house has been renovated, and he will be able to move after summer. (To be continued.) )
