The first day of the competition has ended. Regardless of what the contestants think, their scores are now finalized. If they want to improve their scores, they can only continue to work hard tomorrow.
After Bai Yu finished fishing, he went back to the crew room alone. Since there weren't too many people in the washroom yet, he went to wash up first.
If I don't wash up now, it'll be inconvenient and I'll have to wait in line later. There are female competitors and staff on fishing boat number 13 this time.
The proportion of female contestants in this fan competition was not very high. There were only about 70 female contestants out of 500 contestants. There were not many female contestants to begin with, and even fewer when they were divided among 20 fishing boats.
Some fishing boats have as many as seven or eight, while others have none, or only one or two.
Among dozens of people on the ship, there were only one or two women, which would put a lot of pressure on those one or two women.
In this situation, Bai Yu and his team would assign a few more female staff members to the fishing boat to live with the female contestants, creating a relaxed and safe atmosphere for them as much as possible.
The same applies to Bai Yu's fishing boat number 13; they have only one female competitor on board.
To this end, the organizers specially arranged for three female staff members to board the ship and stay in the same crew cabin as her, and even vacated the room closest to their crew cabin.
Apart from these four people, the rest of the crew were all men; there were quite a few people on the ship.
The game has just ended, and everyone's mind is still on the previous match; not many people want to wash up right now.
This gave Bai Yu time to wash up without having to wait in line, and then he returned to his cabin.
Back in the crew quarters, Bai Yu immediately lay down on her small bed and started playing on her phone.
As Bai Yu pulled out his phone again, he couldn't help but sigh, "This year's contestants are truly fortunate. Thinking back to the previous three fishing competitions, even when there was a live stream, there was never any internet access for them to use their phones."
Thinking of this, Bai Yu couldn't help but shake his head. The development of technology is really too fast now. There is even internet on the sea. It's hard to imagine what the world will be like in a few decades.
Upon realizing that she had been thinking too far ahead, Bai Yu immediately put those thoughts out of her mind. She figured she could deal with the future later; for now, they just needed to focus on the present.
What needs to be done right now?
Then of course we'll check out what's going on in the live stream. Has the direction for the next match been decided yet?
Bai Yu then found the live stream room of Yuxue Shipping Company and clicked in to check the details.
However, Bai Yu entered the live stream a little too early. The title said that the lottery would be held at 12:15 sharp, but it was only 12:05, and there were still ten minutes left.
During those ten minutes, Lu Sheng was selling goods with another female livestreamer—newly produced snacks from the Yuxue Seafood Processing Plant.
The sales of this thing are skyrocketing, always at x9999, and then once one product sells out, the next link comes up.
Given such high sales volume, is there any possibility of fraudulent orders?
There's absolutely no need to worry about that, because their live stream backend data is monitored in real time by professionals. There are even people specifically watching their live streams. The amount of goods sold in the live stream determines their tax payment standards.
Otherwise, if it's discovered that their company's tax payments are insufficient to cover the sales revenue of their livestreaming sessions, they will face only two outcomes: either suspected data manipulation or suspected tax evasion.
Regardless of which one it is, it will be a fatal blow to their company's top-tier live-streaming sales channel, or even a benchmark live-streaming channel.
That's why their company wouldn't engage in any fraudulent practices. They'll show the actual number of items sold, and even if they didn't sell a single item, their company would accept it.
Moreover, many of the products their company is selling this time are not being sold for the first time. Although they are newly launched products, many fans have already bought them or even tried them.
Everyone raved about these new products, and in addition, Yuxue Seafood Processing Factory, as the advertiser for this event, also gave out a lot of vouchers during the live stream.
With these vouchers, these items are at least 60% off, if not 50% off, compared to usual.
Under these circumstances, it would be impossible for these snacks not to sell well.
Of course, even with such low prices, Yuxue Seafood Processing Plant is not entirely without profit, but the profit margin is quite low. After deducting various expenses, they may only earn a few cents or a few dollars per order.
Although the profit margin is much lower, it is still very beneficial for these new products. At least after today's sales, their new products have gained some recognition.
Once more and more people try these products and find them delicious, do you think their processing plants will still have a market?
Therefore, sometimes we cannot simply look at the immediate benefits, but also consider the subsequent impact. If the subsequent impact is very beneficial to us, then it is acceptable to earn less or even lose a little in the early stage.
However, this product promotion didn't last very long. At 12:15, Lu Sheng and the female host stopped introducing the products, as they needed to get down to business.
That is to extract the direction of the second day's competition, and then decide which direction their fleet will sail in.
Is it the cardinal directions (north, south, east, west) or the cardinal directions (southeast, northeast, southwest, northwest)?
That's right. Initially, Bai Yu and her team envisioned one direction, but after discussion, they realized that four directions were still too few. The competition was going to last five days, and it was inevitable that they would draw duplicate directions.
If you're just heading east, there shouldn't be any problem, since heading east will get you into the Pacific Ocean. But if you encounter several westward-bound spots in a row, then things could get a bit complicated.
Because if you drive west, it won't take long to reach land, and there are five roads ahead.
That's why they added four more directions, in order to reduce the proportion of those who draw Chinese or Western options.
The lottery box was a transparent box containing eight small balls, each about the size of a traditional Chinese medicine pill, and each ball represented a direction.
In order to give his own streamer more exposure and increase his own popularity, Lu Sheng gave up his chance to draw prizes to the female streamer and also got the camera to give her a close-up shot.
Don't get me wrong, Lu Sheng and the female anchor have absolutely no relationship. Even if they did, it would only be a superior-subordinate and alumni relationship.
Moreover, he doesn't just take care of this one streamer; he takes care of all the streamers in their company, after all, he's the head of the live streaming sector.
Besides, he has a girlfriend who is also a streamer at their company.
It's worth mentioning that all the live streamers in Bai Yu's company have one thing in common: in addition to being beautiful, they are also highly educated, and most of them are students from Ocean University.
In terms of demeanor, she truly embodied what it means to be poised and confident, far surpassing those online who merely urge their families to hurry up and post links.
Under Lu Sheng's special care, his junior sister lived up to expectations, demonstrating what it means to be "working hard, but also very curious" during the lottery.
She then rummaged through the lottery box, took out a small white ball, and handed it to Lu Sheng.
"Brothers and sisters, now that the ball representing the next direction has been pulled out, let's see what the next direction is."
Hmm? East, southeast? Tsk, how come it's this direction? This might be a bit tricky. Hopefully, everything goes smoothly in tomorrow's match.
As Lu Sheng opened the white ball and saw the note inside with the words "Southeast" written on it, he muttered something to himself.
As soon as Lu Sheng finished muttering to himself, the live stream chat was filled with question marks, with viewers wondering what he meant.
Lu Sheng didn't offer much explanation, only saying, "Look at the map, see which country is to the southeast of the South China Sea, and what is its relationship with our country?"
