"Ah, isn't this the great god who brought glory to our country in his humble days?"
"Yes, yes, I was wondering why he looked so familiar. It turned out to be this great master."
With so many people present, someone was sure to recognize Zheng Ganlai, which brought the atmosphere to a new climax.
"Haha, now everyone is talking about your contributions in daily life. I almost forgot that you are also a 'national hero'." Secretary Jiao looked at the reactions of the audience below on the stage and joked with a smile.
Zheng Gan replied helplessly, "Please don't tease me, Secretary. I'm not a hero at all. You're flattering me."
"Hahaha, this is the Internet age. You are much more famous than me online." Secretary Jiao laughed.
The two were chatting quietly on the stage, while the host continued to announce the prizes for the top three.
The contestants in the audience were also very much looking forward to it. The prize money for the top 50 was already very generous, and it was hard to imagine how much the champion would get.
"The third-place finisher will receive a cash prize of 20,000 yuan, and the second-place finisher 30,000 yuan."
"The champion's prize is fifty thousand!"
When the amount was announced, everyone at the scene gasped. This was just an ordinary sea-hunting competition organized by the public, and the champion's prize was actually 50,000 yuan?
You know, although we have fully entered a well-off society in this era, there are still quite a number of people whose annual income does not reach 50,000 yuan. How can there be so many champions in one competition now?
"I'm sure everyone is familiar with the rules. With that, I declare the fishing competition officially open!" the beautiful hostess announced. "As for the contestants, the rules, prizes, and so on, I'll announce them tomorrow."
The competition is divided into two parts, one is the sea-hunting competition and the other is the fishing competition.
The first day's competition was sea-hunting. Due to lack of manpower, the two events had to be carried out separately.
Seeing that they would not hear any useful information today, the contestants who participated in the fishing competition could only step aside and start watching the sea-hunting competition.
"Mr. Zheng, I leave the rest to you. I'll be leaving first. I still have a lot of things to do." The opening ceremony was over and Secretary Jiao was about to leave. He was the top leader of Shan County and usually had a lot of official duties to attend to. It was already very good that he could come to the opening ceremony to give a speech.
"I'm here to see you off, and I want to thank you for taking the time to come." Zheng Gan quickly stood up and went to see the leader off.
"Okay, since you're so busy, just leave me alone. Also, safety at the scene is of paramount importance. You must pay close attention to it. If you have any difficulties or problems, be sure to call me immediately." Secretary Jiao stopped Zheng Gan who was about to send him off, gave him a few instructions, and then left.
With so many people on the scene, no safety issues must occur, otherwise, this good thing will turn into a bad thing. Secretary Jiao took this into consideration, so he arranged a lot of police officers to help maintain order.
After the boss left, the competition officially began and Zheng Gan started to get busy.
From the moment the contestants enter the sea-hunting area, all drones will take off and begin monitoring the competition to prevent cheating.
"Hey, my brother, originally we just planned to hold this competition simply, but do you know how much money we invested?" Zhao Xing couldn't help but say as he looked at the large number of drones circling in the sky.
"How much?" Zheng Gan was also a little helpless. All the costs had far exceeded the previous estimate.
"It's more than 13 million." Zhao Xing felt like crying. The cost of this competition was just a boat.
"Oh my god, so much." The company was responsible for all the payments, so Zheng Gan only knew that he had spent a lot of money, but he didn't expect it to be so much.
No wonder those official people who came before looked at him as if he was a sucker. Sure enough, he was a sucker.
"Of course, the labor, equipment, drones, early publicity, winning prizes, and the seafood we buy all cost money. The cost of participating in the competition is only two hundred yuan per person, and five thousand people will only make back one million yuan in total." Zhao Xing counted for him on his fingers.
"Well, this money is mine alone." Zheng Gan's heart was bleeding, but he could only grit his teeth. He was determined to give Lin Hao a good beating when he got back. It was this bitch who instigated him to spend so much money.
Zhao Xing shook his head. "Come on, the company is paying for it, and the event is held under the company's name. Stop arguing."
Thirteen million, averaged out to just over four million for three people, didn't make him too heartbroken about the money, but he wanted to tell Zheng Gan that his brothers were fully supporting him.
Sure enough, when Zheng Gan heard this, he felt differently. "Okay, let's do this for now. I'll make up to you when I go out to sea and earn more."
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Zhao Xing instantly forgot about the missing four million and went to work on the scene with a smile.
Today's tide officially starts to recede at nine o'clock. You can go into the sea and start catching seafood an hour after it recedes. Now it's a little after ten o'clock and all the contestants have already gone into the sea.
Among the more than 5,000 contestants, three-quarters are just here to join in the fun. They all come here to travel under the guise of participating in the competition, but there are also quite a few who are real masters.
Some of them are local veterans who make a living by going to the beach, and there are also internet celebrities who go to the beach and broadcast live while doing so.
The competition was very intense from the beginning. The masters went directly to the place where the water was a little deeper, and all kinds of equipment were prepared very fully.
Zheng Gan was watching their actions through the map plug-in.
There were already some seafood in the sea-hunting area, but for the competition, he specially bought hundreds of thousands of large conches, red crabs, abalone, sea cucumbers, etc. from Wang Dongqiang and put them all in.
"It's almost time. Prepare lunch for them and shout a few times in the sea to ask them to come up and eat." Zheng Gan said to the staff beside him.
Lunch was provided for the contestants. There were more than 5,000 contestants, and a total of 7,000 meals were prepared by the staff and police officers. These were all provided by the villagers. The cost of one meal was 20 yuan, and it included three meat dishes and one vegetable dish, which was very good.
This alone cost 140,000 yuan, and the village also made a small profit from it.
Other tourists and spectators also had lunch nearby, and many women in the village set up stalls on the beach.
