Chapter 175: 173. The Commercial Value of Ren He (Fifth Update)_1

Although he didn’t know what the surprise that Liu Erbao mentioned was, since a person like Liu Erbao called it a surprise, it must be something to look forward to.

Now it wasn’t like when he had just crossed over; he dared not take on missions at night. Having Super Vision meant that day and night made no difference. Therefore, since Liu Erbao thought the effect would still be better at night, he would play this round of Heavenly Road downhill speed challenge at night!

He didn’t know how many roads were suitable for speed descending abroad, but Ren He only knew that if he successfully completed this descent on Heavenly Road, it would mean he had effectively graduated in the arena of road downhill racing.

turns, 30 hairpin bends, even seasoned drivers who were used to driving on Heavenly Gate Mountain would have to behave and not dare to act recklessly.

This was a miracle of nature and a testament to human strength, and today, Ren He was going to challenge such a place. TK Company didn’t make a big fuss; they planned to wait for the video to be fully produced before launching an overwhelming promotional campaign.

Now, the name ’Knight’ was deservedly the top in the realm of extreme sports for cycling, but it was a bit of a pity that only the drifting had been witnessed by the whole world, while the road downhill was only known through rumors, without any solid proof.

Today was the perfect opportunity, and TK Company was very happy. After all, they made bicycles, and the person who was the first in the field of extreme cycling was their spokesperson. This was enough to cause ’Knight’s’ fans to have a bias when choosing bicycles.

However, Ren He was a little curious. The entire length of Heavenly Gate Mountain road was over 10 kilometers. How would Liu Erbao choose the camera positions this time? After all, it would be very difficult to record the whole process. If only Ren He carried a head-mounted camera or set up equipment on the bicycle, it would be too simplistic.

Yet if they followed him with a vehicle, it was doubtful any car would dare to keep up with Ren He’s speed, which would require a professional racing driver.

Even if they did find a professional racer, they still might not be able to get good footage because both vehicles would shake violently during turns. The shaking would be much worse in relation to each other, causing the camera to likely capture nothing and the cars might interfere with one another.

And if they used aerial drones for filming, the technology for aerial drones in 2006 was not mature, and their maximum speed was just over 40 kilometers per hour. A drone wouldn’t be able to keep up with Ren He even on a straightaway.

Ren He laughed. This wasn’t something for him to worry about. Liu Erbao seemed very confident and excited, so he would wait to see what kind of surprise the man would offer.

Liu Erbao had already gone ahead, and Ren He had to wait for An Si to bring the agreement. He could only set off after signing it.

Included was the competitive agreement for Ren He this time, as well as the personal accident insurance provided by TK Company. When Ren He saw the insurance TK Company had bought for him, he was stunned for a moment. If he had an accident during this extreme sports competition, the insurance company would pay out a maximum of 4.8 million US dollars.

This wasn’t part of the agreement, and TK really didn’t need to do this. But they did it anyway to build a deep friendship with Ren He. It had to be said that sometimes multinational companies had to appear more humanized in their actions.

Of course, that was only when they thought it was worth their while.

Ren He signed his name, but he hesitated about whom to write as the beneficiary. His parents, Elder Ren and Mrs. Ren? They truly were not short on money, and if he were gone, the 4.8 million US dollars would only add to their sorrow.

The same went for Yang Xi, and Su Ruqin was not wanting for money either. Yang Xi herself was about to become a star, and even if Ren He was gone, she would only be reduced to having to invite songs or write songs like other singers.

So, to whom should he leave it? Ren He thought for a while and ended up writing the name Zhou Wumeng.

He couldn’t directly write Qinghe Fund on the policy, but he believed Elder Zhou, upon receiving the money, would definitely use every penny of it for the Qinghe Fund.

Ren He reflected and felt it might be time to make a will. It wasn’t that he was cursing himself to die but rather to make arrangements in case he really did fall in one extreme sports event, then the rights to the Qinghe Fund would be transferred to Zhou Wumeng.

There’s no need to donate the rest of the property, it should be left to whomever it’s meant for. The only thing that’s truly important for those children in the mountainous areas is the Qinghe Fund. It can’t be interrupted just because I die.

At that thought, Ren He laughed at himself first. It was as if a sense of indifference towards life and death had suddenly arisen in him, a bold spirit. He believed that he wouldn’t die, that he would definitely have the chance to play to the very end and become the biggest Big Player!

Others play games, but what Ren He is playing with is his life!

After signing all the agreements with An Si, he drove straight to Heavenly Gate Mountain, because he had to complete a night descent, so on the way there, An Si volunteered to drive, for fear of tiring Ren He.

You could say that now An Si is the person who most hopes Ren He can complete the task. Firstly because he truly admires Ren He’s skills and is proud to see such a top extreme sports genius emerge among the Chinese, and secondly because Ren He carries an enormous business value.

It’s not that what Ren He plays is that much more high-end than others, nor does An Si know that Ren He is capable of playing other sports—this secret he doesn’t know. In fact, the business value of the top parkour athletes who are now emerging doesn’t fall short of Ren He’s.

But what An Si is considering is this: Ren He is only 16! He still has a long time to play!

A 16-year-old who has reached the top in an extreme sports field—An Si doesn’t know how much heat such a youth can radiate in the future, but he looks forward to it.

Zhangjiajie is located in western Hunan, and it takes over ten hours to drive there from the Capital. Even An Si found it a bit too much, so halfway through, he still switched and let Ren He drive for a while.

By the time they finally arrived at Heavenly Gate Mountain, it was already 11 p.m. At this time, countless lighting equipment had already been set up on the mountain. The beams from these lights shone out and formed huge columns of light, and if you looked down from the sky, the whole Heavenly Road would look like a brightly dotted Milky Way!

And those columns of white light intersected in the sky, as if they were a real bridge to heaven.

Big moves for sure! Really! Ren He couldn’t help but marvel inwardly. He hadn’t expected Erbao to make another big play!

An Si stared at the illuminated Heavenly Road from a distance, murmured, "Do you know? Erbao directly asked me for 5 million in production fees this time, and the headquarters actually approved it. I really don’t understand what those people are thinking. This isn’t just making a video, this is creating a legend!"

Anyone who has ever participated in commercial video production knows that the cost of creating such effects with post-production would far exceed 5 million in terms of technology, but Erbao boldly utilized external objective equipment to achieve this feat.

At that moment, Ren He suddenly heard a loud roaring from the sky. A beam of light swept over his head, brightening the space around him as if it were broad daylight. The strong wind pressure approached the ground, and Ren He felt a strong premonition—a premonition that was part excitement, part surprise!

A voice came from the sky, Erbao speaking through a loudspeaker, "Haha, Ren He my friend, I told you I’m awesome, right? We directly shelled out 170,000 to rent a helicopter for a whole day, just to film your ascent of Heavenly Road! Has anyone ever received such treatment? No! Brother, I wanted you to experience what it feels like to shoot a major commercial film!"

Indeed, the most suitable means of transportation for filming here was the helicopter, which could freely weave through the mountain ravines!

So the surprise Erbao mentioned was a helicopter!
