Soon it was October 3, the day of the "Tuna Cup" event.
At 2 pm, officials, media and fishermen who were invited to attend the opening ceremony arrived one after another.
This time, Xingzhou Island will broadcast the entire event live on V-blog and other accounts.
So those netizens who follow Xingzhou Island's official blog and keep an eye on whether there are any lucky draws noticed this live dynamic while lying at home and browsing their phones, and clicked in one after another.
The silly netizens were the first to post comments: "Fishermen vs. tuna?"
Gossipy netizens followed closely: "Where is the island owner? I want to see what the island owner looks like!"
Lin Qitong's fans also started to barge in: "Sure enough, the host is my Qitong!"
The haters were unwilling to be left out: "Why is she everywhere? Is she the only one with such good looks on Xingzhou Island? Isn't the island owner also a woman? Why doesn't she come out for a walk? Is she ugly?"
Someone retorted: "Using appearance to attack others is a very low behavior."
The hater was afraid that no one would pay attention to him, so when this person replied, he got angry. He was about to continue posting comments, but found that his account was blocked and he could no longer speak. So he changed to a small account and continued to curse...
In less than half an hour, the staff of Xingzhou Island's official blog blocked dozens of accounts. In the end, he also realized that this was an organized and premeditated water army.
There is no end to the blacklisting, so they can only temporarily turn off the speech function according to the plan, and also turn off the gift sending function. All viewers can only like and follow.
In front of the live broadcast screen, Yu Fan, the owner of the Fishing Club, frowned and asked: "What's going on? Why is no one talking? I paid them to do the work. If they continue to quarrel, they will ruin Xingzhou Island's popularity!"
His employees told him helplessly: "Boss, Xingzhou Island has turned off the comment function, and no one can speak."
"Coward!" Yu Fan said disdainfully.
He stared at the screen and saw that the person who gave a speech on behalf of Xingzhou Island at the opening ceremony was just a department manager. He, who was well versed in marketing, laughed immediately: "This Li Yaolin is really interesting. She hides her true colors and is afraid that others will see her. But they don't know that the public is very curious and the discussion of gossip is endless. By directly exposing the true identity of the island owner as a gimmick, this live broadcast will definitely be watched by millions of people."
The employees complained in their hearts: "Not everyone is as showy and domineering as you, boss."
Suddenly, his expression became a little subtle, and he said: "Boss, this female fisherman looks a little familiar. Judging from her back and sunscreen, it seems that she was the one who caught the tuna the day before yesterday."
Unexpected changes occurred, and Yu Fan asked unhappily: "What's going on? Didn't you confirm the list? Why is there one extra person?"
The employee looked at the list in the group chat and was a little puzzled: "I checked the list, there are ten people for sure! I don't know what the situation is with this extra person. Could it be that she caught a tuna the day before yesterday, so Xingzhou Island temporarily asked her to come to the rescue?"
Not only the people in the Sea Fishing Club were not sure, but also the staff in the Sea Fishing Club were also confused . The explanation came to several anglers at the scene, who were also quite puzzled. One of them asked Lao Li, "Lao Li, didn't they say there were only ten places? Why is there one more person?"
Lao Li glanced at Li Yaolin, who was fully armed next to him, and cleared his throat, "This person is not on the event list, he is a special guest."
The anglers looked at each other, "What does special guest mean?"
Lao Li smiled and didn't explain.
Another fisherman who was very familiar with Lao Li said, "The final right of interpretation of the event lies with Xingzhou Island. They must have their reasons for making such arrangements. Why should we care so much?"
"Since the event is said to be fair, we have to ask questions when we encounter a situation!"
Lao Li then said, "The special guest is the guest invited by our island owner to participate in the event. Even if she catches a tuna, she will not receive any reward."
Well, the island owner decided to leave by himself, so there is nothing wrong with what he said.
The fishermen looked at each other in bewilderment: How can participating in a small sea fishing event involve relatives?
The angler who was familiar with him sneered again and said, "This event not only confiscated our registration fee, but also allowed us to take away the fish we caught. If we catch a tuna, we will get an annual ticket as a reward. No matter how you look at it, we are getting the upper hand. Of course, you don't have to catch fish to make money. Some people don't catch any fish, but they may earn more."
Hearing this, the faces of several anglers looked a little unnatural.
The fisherman who asked the question frowned and said, "Lin Jun, is there something fishy here?"
Lin Jun said, "Nothing. Someone contacted me yesterday and offered me 5,000 yuan to let me take part in this activity. This included but was not limited to tampering with the fishing rod and deliberately using inferior fishing line, so as to create the illusion of broken line and bottom hanging. Then, let alone catching tuna, it is hard to say whether you can catch a big fish."
One of the fishermen with an unnatural expression said, "Just because you were bribed doesn't mean that others were also bribed. If you say these things, don't those who can't catch tuna become bribed? Isn't it unfair to everyone?"
His words resonated with others. There was a sound of the bell. There was also a fair-skinned rookie angler who had not participated in sea fishing activities before, saying: "Yes, I just got started and I don't have the confidence to catch many fish!"
Lao Li said with a smile: "Don't worry, when the fish situation is unclear, no one knows whether you can catch fish and what kind of fish you catch. It all depends on luck. Xingzhou Island will not maliciously speculate about you just because you didn't catch any tuna, and will not do such shameful and dirty things as revenge." The
bribed angler: "..."
Aren't you implying that the Fishing and Sailing Club is doing dirty things such as revenge!
Although Lao Li gave a guarantee on behalf of Xingzhou Island, since Lin Jun had already brought this matter to the surface, the fishermen who did not perform well would easily be suspected of having received money. Therefore, after the event started, all the fishermen put aside their distractions and focused on fishing.
Lao Li and Lin Jun looked at each other, and they were very satisfied with each other's performance.
Not all fishermen are tempted by interests. Yu Fan may not be able to afford the interests that can make all fishermen excited. When Lin Jun was found by people from Yu Fan's fishing club, he told Lao Li about it. After analyzing it, the two believed that it was impossible for the other party to find only Lin Jun, but only Lin Jun took the initiative to confess to Lao Li.
Lao Li was not sure whether the remaining fishermen would agree to the other party's request to go undercover on Xingzhou Island and disrupt the event
for the sake of the 5,000 yuan. Lao Li said: "Not everyone is as frank as you and told me directly. Some people may not accept bribes, but they will not tell me because once they tell me, their performance will not be good, which will arouse suspicion. With the mentality of less trouble is better than more trouble, they simply pretended not to know about it."
Lin Jun said, "Are you just pretending that you don't know about this?"
"Of course not, otherwise too many man-made accidents will happen frequently, which will affect the audience's impression of Xingzhou Island. And several fishermen can't catch any fish, which is too ugly."
So after mentioning this to Li Yaolin, the two decided to play the good cop and the bad cop on the spot to deceive them. When the event is over, it will be clear who was bribed.
——Those who were not bribed will naturally not feel burdened, and they can also show it on their faces. As for those who were bribed, they failed to meet the other party's requirements and must face the situation of returning part of the money, so they will naturally not feel very happy. Of course, it is possible that Yu Fan is a generous person and does not ask for a refund.
Even if they knew who was bribed, Xingzhou Island would not take any measures against them, but in the future, Lao Li would be much more cautious when dealing with them.
Lao Li found an opportunity and went to Li Yaolin's side, and asked in a low voice: "What do you think of the island owner? Did we use this trick to shock the tiger?"
Li Yaolin quietly raised his thumb and said: "I didn't expect the other party to be willing to spend so much money. Five thousand yuan is more than a month's salary for many people."
Although the annual ticket of Xingzhou Island is more valuable, at 70 yuan a day, 365 days is 25,550 yuan. Few people would give up more than 20,000 yuan for these 5,000 yuan.
But the account is not calculated in this way:
first of all, they cannot guarantee that they will catch tuna, and the 5,000 yuan they can get now is more practical than the unknown 20,000 yuan.
Secondly, some of them have full-time jobs, and even if they get the annual pass, they cannot come to Xingzhou Island every day. The annual pass is tied to the person and cannot be used by others. In this way, apart from its symbol of honor, the monetary value it can bring is limited.
Finally, it involves the social relations of these fishermen.
Lao Li said: "In fact, many anglers are members of that club. It is normal for them to be bribed."
Yufan Sea Fishing Club is the largest sea fishing club in Youshi. Its owner, Yufan Sea Fishing Co., Ltd.'s executive director and manager Yu Fan is also the president of Youshi Fishing Association and executive vice president of the Provincial Leisure Fishing Association. He founded and managed the "Youshi Sea Fishing Club Forum". He is very capable!
Most of the boats with qualifications for sea fishing in Youshi are under the name of Yufan Sea Fishing Club. All the fishermen in Youshi who want to go out to sea fishing will deal with the club to some extent. Many professional anglers are members of various sea fishing clubs. It is too common for them to succumb under coercion and temptation.
Li Yaolin said with relief: "Fortunately, I had foresight and dug you here in advance."
Lao Li also laughed: "Today's protagonist is not me, but you, the island owner, are the trump card of our event!"
Facing Lao Li's rainbow fart, Li Yaolin did not comment on his face, but he was madly muttering in his heart: "I beg the sea god to bless me to catch a super large tuna, I want to blind their eyes!"
The little mermaid: "..."
Island owner, your serious look is really cheap!
...
This boat fishing activity will last for five hours, from three in the afternoon to eight in the evening. This time is the time when many fish are more active, and tuna is no exception.
Fishing for tuna also requires skills. First of all, Li Yaolin's target is a tuna weighing about 200 kilograms. Generally, tuna of this weight are newly grown adults, and they live in relatively deep waters, about 200 meters. Therefore, the fishing rod she prepared is a super hard large casting rod, and the fishing line is also the line with the strongest tension. In addition, she also prepared a fully automatic fishing rod.
Secondly, the bait for tuna is generally sardines, squid, etc. For safety reasons, she prepared live baits of "Poseidon Brand".
All the anglers used "Poseidon" bait - the bribed anglers probably didn't want to show off so obviously. They could still explain that the fishing rods and fishing lines were too expensive and they couldn't afford them, so they had to make do with the usual rock fishing equipment. But as for the bait, they were used to using "Poseidon" on weekdays, and it would be strange not to use it during the event.
After everyone cast their rods and hooks, about five minutes later, one of Lao Li's fishing rods caught a fish, and he easily caught the half-pound pomfret.
I don't know when the ban was lifted, but now people can speak again. The audience commented: "The fish is caught very quickly, it looks like the nest here is good!"
"This is a pomfret, the fishermen's target is tuna, as long as they don't catch a tuna, it's not a harvest."
Although there were a few discordant comments occasionally, everyone's attention was on the fishermen at the moment, and no one quarreled with the sailors, so that the sailors were left alone.
Afterwards, all the fishermen caught some fish, but there was no sign of tuna.
Yu Fan stared at the screen for half an hour, and slowly relaxed. He said to the employee: "I have to deal with the work, you are responsible for watching, and remember to report to me at any time if there is any situation!"
The employee was eager to slack off at work, and hurriedly agreed.
As soon as the boss left, the employee immediately put on the live broadcast and started playing games. He glanced at the screen every ten minutes, and saw that the barrage was still calm, and continued to immerse himself in playing games. Later, seeing that the phone was running out of power, he simply took the phone aside to charge it.
While charging, he completely missed the most exciting scene in the entire live broadcast.
——The
boat fishing activity had been going on for an hour and a half, and Lao Li finally caught a tuna weighing more than ten kilograms in front of thousands of people. Because it was a juvenile fish, Lao Li released it after taking a photo.
This brought great pressure to the anglers on the same boat. Lao Li had already confirmed that there was indeed a tuna nest here. How embarrassing would it be if they didn't catch one?!
For a moment, they forgot about being bribed and used bait to lure tuna.
Another half hour later, Lin Jun also caught a tuna. His luck was slightly better, this one weighed about 20 kilograms and could be sold for 1,000 yuan. He didn't let it go, but thinking that he had already got the annual ticket, there was no need to waste effort to catch other fish, so he began to swim around the boat.
When he finished chatting with Lao Li and came to Li Yaolin, he found that she suddenly jumped forward. As an experienced person, he immediately realized that Li Yaolin had caught a big fish. Because the pulling force was too great, she suddenly jumped forward because she was not standing firmly.
"I caught a fish." Lin Jun shouted, which immediately attracted the attention of several anglers. The live camera also turned to Li Yaolin's hand holding the fishing rod and the sea surface.
At this time, under the mask, Li Yaolin's face was not very good, because the fish was too big. With her strength, 20 minutes of struggle with it was already the limit. But the bigger the fish, the more time it takes to completely catch it. She was afraid that she didn't have so much strength to waste with the opponent.
When Li Yaolin was exhausted, he decided to call for help: "Lao Li, come and help."
Lao Li immediately put down his fishing rod and came to take over. As soon as he took over, he knew what Li Yaolin had been through and why he had to take over after only 20 minutes. Because even if it was him, he would have to take over after half an hour, otherwise his waist would not be able to bear it.
Fishing is a physical job, and fishing for big fish is even more waist-breaking. When Lao Li was young, he twisted his waist because of sea fishing. Later, he always took good care of his waist. Today, it seems that his waist can no longer be protected.
"I can't do it anymore, let's take over." Lao Li called Lin Jun.
Lin Jun took over, and it was less than half an hour before Li Yaolin took over again.
Their reactions attracted everyone's attention. Some people wondered if they had stuck, some were curious about what kind of fish they had caught, and some were so nervous that it seemed like they had caught a fish.
In this way, the three of them took turns, and later the captain and the fishing safety officer also joined the rally. After an hour and a half of hard work, everyone on the boat was able to glimpse the figure of this big guy.
The author has something to say:
The island owner in front of people: Stay calm!
The island owner behind people: Sea God, please help me!
