Chapter 318 The Insurance Company Thinks the Risk Is Too Great!
PICC is a cooperative insurance company of "The Great Challenge". Sha Bei once said publicly that when Yang An bought 200 million accident insurance for each of them, PICC took over.
This time, they are the insurance company that cooperated with "Adventure with Bell". Out of trust in Bell and Wang Shi's team, and the emphasis on Yang An's brand, PICC initially offered a preferential insurance price and sent a commissioner follow along.
At the beginning, everyone’s plan was to go directly to the Himalayas at the end of March, but Bell was willing to come and play one month in advance, and Wang Shi was also very interested. So in early March, everyone went to the rainforest to do a warm-up activity, playing simple and difficult wild survival, this That is, the content of the several promotional videos that Shenzhen Satellite TV broadcast continuously.
Before entering the rainforest, the People's Insurance Company had already protested, but they did not turn their backs on the spot.
Unexpectedly, after returning from the rainforest, Yang An followed the advice of the Bell team and Fang Weijie of the Pathfinder Association, and everyone took Nyalam as the first stop, and the ancient tea-horse road and Himalayan exploration tour officially started.
The first stop is Nyalam. In this small county, everyone followed the Tibetan customs, prayed for the smooth return of the expedition, and carried out the last cleaning and energy supply, and set off on the road fully armed.
The weather was good, and the team chose to use helicopters to pick up and drop off in the mountains. They just put everyone down for fixed-point shooting in a few characteristic ancient trail areas selected by the director team.
Don't think that this kind of adventure show is filmed all the way. There is no TV station in the world that does this kind of thing.
Even Bell is the same in "Survival in the Wild". In key knowledge points and dangerous levels, Bell has become a good actor. He will also pose for many times, and the director will cut again. Bell would even entrust them to do this kind of trivial matter, but it was all his credit for the filming in the end.
All for the effect of the program, Yang An always said so, and he did the same.
Going up and down in a helicopter, regardless of safety, stopping when encountering beautiful scenery, these things are for explorers such as Bell, Zhu Weijie, and Wang Shi, it doesn’t matter if you go to some dangerous areas Go, it doesn't matter!
But for the commissioner of human rights protection, more and more anger accumulated in his chest, and he insisted on arriving in Kathmandu, Nepal, and finally couldn't help but explode.
After entering the Wildlife Sanctuary in Kathmandu, the commissioner of the PICC refused to go with him, and made solemn representations, arguing that the contract was void.
Faced with this request, Yang An called the three members of Bell's team, Fang Weijie, and his own security experts to have a showdown in the temporary camp.
The commissioner was filled with righteous indignation: "Mr. Yang, what you are doing now is far beyond the scope agreed upon when the contract was signed. This is irresponsible to yourself, us, and everyone else!"
Yang An said: "Survival in the wild is clearly written in the contract. I don't think it is beyond the scope of the contract. Isn't it what we are doing now? And our security team is fully sure that no one wants to let No one can bear the responsibility for people being injured.”
The commissioner sneered and said: "You choose to start from Nyalam and take the most dangerous ancient tea-horse road. I don't say anything. But you have all entered Nepal and Kathmandu. Why don't you set up camp near Kathmandu? Why not set up camp near Kathmandu? Wildlife Nature Reserve? I'm sorry, it is precisely because you have repeatedly changed the itinerary at will and failed to communicate with us in time, this behavior is beyond the scope of the company's tolerance, and the company decided to abandon this policy!"
PICC is a commercial company. At first, it chose to cooperate with Yang An to provide accident insurance services for the expedition team. The price was low, which was all because of the reputation of Yang An's program.
And once the insurance evaluation team thinks that the risk outweighs the benefit, they will not continue to do it, and the worst is not to cooperate. PICC is not unable to live without Yang An. For them, Yang An's small premium can be completely ignored. Excluding.
Fang Weijie and the security experts here are trying to explain, but the commissioner firmly grasps one point: "There are a considerable number of wild elephants, wild boars, rhinos, crocodiles and other ferocious beasts in the reserve, and the most terrifying thing is the king of the jungle, Bengal Tigers come and go frequently! Except for these large wild animals, how do you deal with poisonous snakes and scorpions? Bell can eat scorpions, how about you? The jungle in southern Nepal is full of dangers, even if your insurance premium is higher, we will not accept it!"
"That's a pity, how about this, Xiao Wang, you can make arrangements and send the commissioner back to China immediately!"
Yang An couldn't help giving orders, then turned around, and said gratefully to the commissioner: "You have worked hard during this time, please contact my assistant as soon as possible to cancel the contract, if we fail to cooperate, we can still be friends in the future, yes wrong?"
The commissioner was dumbfounded. Is this the rhythm of overturning the ship if there is a disagreement?
He said so much, and he just conveyed the company's opinions, and he didn't want to make the relationship too rigid: "Mr. Yang, if you can provide..."
Yang An interrupted him, waved his hands and smiled: "Since the senior management of your PICC has decided to give up the policy, let's not say anything unpleasant, okay, that's it, I'm a little busy beforehand!"
After walking out of the temporary camp, Yang An was not angry, and said to his assistant, "Notify Sunshine Insurance, the people from CPIC, we can add a little more premium, and try to sign the policy within one day, and take effect as quickly as possible."
The sudden arrival of the PICC made Yang An feel uncomfortable.
To be honest, no matter how good Bell and the others promised, and no matter how comprehensive the security personnel on their side were, they still couldn't guarantee the safety of the artists 100%.
For the safety of this expedition, he even used his connections and money to obtain gun carrying licenses in both countries, and handed them over to professionals like Fang Weijie to carry them.
But unless it is absolutely necessary, he will not use these people, otherwise it will really become a celebrity tourist.
Yang An left the conference room of the camp and returned to the vicinity of the expedition jeep, seeing that everyone's faces were full of sorrow.
Sha Bei jumped out of the car, pulled Yang An a little farther, and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter? I heard the staff say that the kid is from the PICC? Is he trying to find fault with you?"
Yang An hummed in a low voice, pretending to be dazzled by the sun, and turned his head. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the jeep and found that everyone was looking at him. That's demoralizing!
Yang An turned his face, and whispered quickly in Sha Bei's ear: "They think the wild animals here are dangerous, so they refused the insurance. But Bell didn't think so, I decided to listen to him, so I drove the PICC back! "
Sha Bei cried and laughed again and again: "You are really desperate to play!"
After a while, the roar of the diesel engine came, and the two vanguard jeeps that explored the road came back. One was an expert team that had played an outpost here a few days ago. Bell was sitting in the other car, and he braked the car with a squeak. , raising a burst of loess dust, he gave Yang An a thumbs up: "There is no problem with the living place, let's camp today!"
The three jeeps were divided into ten people, the fourth car was for the production team, the fifth car was for safety experts and team doctors, and the five cars were roaring forward in the wildlife sanctuary, and soon found a suitable place to camp—— It is located in a rocky protruding area like a small isolated island.
The area of this raised area is about 20 square meters, and the height is two meters. It is a protruding hillside, as if cut vertically by a giant axe. The highest is a "cliff" of two meters.
There are three dense trees growing at the bottom of the small slope. There are a lot of weeds and plants under the trees. The ground is a mixture of soil and gravel. Generally speaking, everything looks normal.
Yang An asked, "Why don't we look for pools or lakes?"
Bell introduced: "Water is where animals must go. If you don't want to become prey, please stay away from water!"
Everyone wailed for a while, Huang Bo couldn't believe it: "Is there really a man-eating animal here?"
Li Jingtian also asked: "I know there are elephants here, but aren't elephants gentle animals?"
Sha Bei said: "No matter how docile an animal is, you lie down and sleep in the grass by the pool, and it steps on you when it passes by. How can you bear it?"
Thinking of the several tons of elephant legs stepping on him, everyone felt scared, Yang An said: "I will tell the truth, except for the herbivores such as gazelle and gazelle, other carnivorous and omnivorous animals here are all from us. enemies. In a wildlife sanctuary, we are not hunters, we are prey!"
"Not as bad as you say!"
Bell came over, comforted everyone with a smile, changed the topic, and then introduced how to camp.
The terrain here is special, completely different from the rainforest. The biggest hidden dangers are actually the aggressive animals that break in suddenly, and the poisonous insects hidden in the gravel.
Everyone carefully inspected the gravel first, drove the poisonous scorpion away from the crevices of the stone, and finally sprinkled insect repellant powder, so they were relieved.
Next, Bell led a few men to make defensive traps. The traps were made with great care. This kind of delicate work should be done last, but now, other things are needed.
Bell sharpened the arm-thick branch with a dagger: "This is the most important defensive weapon, it can be used to defend against small herbivores that rush in."
Just herbivores? Or small? The listeners looked at each other, and Huang Bo asked, "What if we encounter omnivores like wild boars and rhinos?"
Bell continued to sharpen the thorn stick without raising his head: "Run!"
As soon as the men made ten primitive spears, they were faced with the dilemma of finding food. Bell ordered three men, one of whom carried two spiked spears, and began to search for food.
However, the expedition team had no hunting experience, so they couldn't get close to animals such as antelopes. They could only try their luck to see if they could find small animals such as hares.
Five wild boars came out of the grass 50 meters away. Bell hurriedly stopped everyone from moving, stooped, and half hid in the grass. He introduced: "These wild boars weigh up to 100 kilograms, with thick skin and rough flesh. It’s not something our spears can pierce easily. Look at their fangs, if you are stabbed in a vital part of your body, there is only one end, and that is to die on the spot.” (To be continued.)
