As the fishing boat started to return to port, Bai Yu and others gathered in twos and threes on the deck, eating and chatting.
For most of them, although they were strangers to each other before boarding the ship, after spending a few days together, their relationship can be described as very harmonious.
You can't expect to become brothers and sisters in just a few days, but becoming friends is definitely possible. Then, you can exchange contact information and gradually get to know each other better.
Especially since most of the anglers on this fishing trip were video bloggers, they probably had no prior contact with each other.
However, after spending these few days together, they suddenly realized that their video content was very diverse, and there wasn't much interaction between their fans, so there was a great possibility of collaboration.
Especially since they saw the huge traffic that could be generated after the interaction, on this last night, these bloggers also exchanged contact information, looking forward to future collaborations.
Even Bai Yu and his three companions were asked for their phone numbers many times, and Bai Yu, Li Shuang, and Lu Sheng gave out quite a few business cards in response.
As for Wang Hai, he is now Bai Yu's assistant, so finding Bai Yu will naturally lead to finding Wang Hai.
While everyone was socializing, the fishing boats kept heading back. It would only take them about ten hours to get back to the county dock.
After chatting with others on the deck for a while, Bai Yu and the others returned to the crew quarters to rest. However, before resting, Li Shuang gave Bai Yu a suggestion.
"Brother Yu, I have a somewhat immature idea, but I'm not sure if I should say it."
"Hmm? You still have immature ideas? Just say what you want to say. The three of us will help you refine them and turn them into maturity."
Bai Yu listened to what Li Shuang said and couldn't help but tease him.
"Brother Fisherman, when we get back to the dock, we need to calculate the scores for the others, and also help them find fish buyers to buy up their catch."
Here's what I'm thinking: how about our company collects these contestants' scores? Plus, there are quite a few streamers and bloggers among them. What if we invite them to our company for a visit, so they can interact with us?
How about we sell the fish they catch during the live stream?
Brother Yu, you need to know that our company's official account has a lot of traffic right now. A three-hour live stream can get around a million viewers. If we promote an event in advance, our live stream viewership can even reach over five million.
For other streamers, this is a lot of traffic. We can take their profits, and while they get the benefits, we can also invite them to visit our company. Isn't that a win-win situation, getting both money and traffic?
Brother Yu, what do you think of my idea?
Bai Yu and the other two listened to Li Shuang's idea and fell silent.
The idea is that Bai Yu's company spends money to borrow the traffic of other bloggers and mix it with their own traffic to sell products.
This is definitely good news for the contestants, especially those bloggers who don't have many followers, since their companies have a lot of traffic.
There's no need for Bai Yu's big account to intervene. Just looking at their company's account traffic, apart from Lao Deng, no other blogger on the fishing boat can compare to their company.
In today's era where traffic is king, let alone Bai Yu's company paying them, these bloggers are willing to work for free, or even spend some money, as long as they can appear in such a high-traffic live stream.
"Tsk, Shuangzi, is this idea of yours still a rather immature one? What would a mature idea of yours be like?"
I have to say, you're really suited for the internet industry, your operations skills are amazing!
I have no objection to your idea. After the ship docks, you can ask the bloggers who came this time if they are interested. If so, inviting them would be fine.
And let's not be too stingy. Your idea is a bit like trying to ride on someone else's traffic. We need to be more generous. Let's give those who come a little something for their hard work, or a commission on their sales. You can discuss the standards with Xue'er and the others once we're on shore."
Bai Yu affirmed Li Shuang's somewhat immature idea and expressed clear support for it.
As for spending money, Bai Yu wasn't too concerned. The most important thing right now was to accumulate more traffic for the company account, since traffic equals money.
Bai Yu and the others then discussed Li Shuang's idea, weighing its pros and cons, and whether anyone would be willing to take a stroll around their company this time.
They talked for about an hour, and finally fell into a deep sleep around two or three in the morning.
Nothing was said that night.
The next morning around 11 a.m., Bai Yu and the other three woke up and the first thing they did was go to the restaurant to have lunch.
They have about two hours left before they can get back to the dock.
During the meal, Li Shuang had already taken action, contacting the bloggers she had become familiar with over the past few days and asking if they would like to be guests in their company's live broadcast room.
When the other party first heard the news, they were a little stunned, especially since the two people Li Shuang asked were both girls, one a beauty streamer and the other a fishing newbie.
The former may have experience in live streaming, but their live streams mainly focus on showcasing their talents rather than selling products.
The other is a new blogger. Because she is a woman, she has gained some followers in the fishing circle, but the number is not large. She is still in the process of accumulating followers and has not started any product sales or monetization. At most, she accepts advertisements for fishing bait and tackle.
Li Shuang's suggestion to do live-streaming sales at their company was completely unfamiliar to them; it was a field they had never explored before.
So they were a little confused, unsure whether they should agree or not.
In this situation, Li Shuang patiently guided them, explaining the pros and cons.
Yes, it's a matter of pros and cons. This approach definitely has both advantages and disadvantages, but the disadvantages aren't directed at Bai Yu's company, but rather at these two bloggers.
After all, live-streaming e-commerce is equivalent to monetization. Once the traffic is monetized, it will definitely be bad for the bloggers, especially for those who have never done live-streaming e-commerce before.
In the past, their fans would have expected their bloggers to monetize their content, but when that day actually came, the fans were bound to feel uncomfortable.
So Li Shuang explained these potential risks to them, and her analysis was incredibly thorough.
Seeing Li Shuang's sincerity, as he not only explained the advantages but also the disadvantages, the two women felt his sincerity and, after some consideration, agreed.
The reason Li Shuang found the two of them was not only because they were girls and quite pretty, but also because he was interested in their catch, especially the two tuna among them.
He plans to focus on these two tuna in his next live-streaming sales event, promoting them prominently during the broadcast.
After these two joined, Li Shuang talked to other bloggers, but unfortunately the final result was not ideal.
In the end, only five people agreed to take a look around the live stream room, which is less than half of the total number of streamers and bloggers.
Moreover, these people all have one thing in common: they don't have a lot of fans, with the most having only a little over three million.
Li Shuang couldn't invite Lao Deng, whom she most wanted to invite, for a simple reason: he has his own brand and wouldn't appear in other live-streaming e-commerce rooms unless absolutely necessary.
In other words, it's fine to participate in competitions, shoot videos, or appear in the event organizer's live stream, but it's not so convenient for live streams where you're selling products.
Now all they have to do is hope that the bloggers who agreed to their request will do well, ideally with one of them in the top three. That would give them a good reason to start selling products via livestream.
After Li Shuang finished talking, the fishing boat they were on slowly returned to the dock and stopped at its designated berth.
The next steps are relatively simple: count all their catches, compile and summarize everyone's scores, and then determine the champion of this fan giveaway competition.
While we were at it, we called the fishmonger over and took away all the fish they had brought back. With that, the competition was officially over.
As for buying the fish, Bai Yu and his group kept the fish from the four of them, and also bought the fish from the five bloggers who had agreed to come to their company, paying them at the normal market price.
Bai Yu originally thought that these people's catch was not much, but when it came time to count the fish, he was truly shocked by the amount.
Especially the two girls' catch; they had initially thought that the girls would inevitably have the worst fishing results on this trip.
But when their catch was tallied, their results were truly astonishing. Both of them had a total catch of over 1,000 jin (500 kg), with the highest being over 1,600 jin (800 kg), which is 0.8 tons!
1,600 jin may not seem like much, but compared to Bai Yu's achievement, it's still 300-400 jin more.
But you need to understand one thing: this is a girl's result over five days. In the same five days, some boys have achieved results exceeding 1,000 pounds. With this comparison, doesn't it make 1,600 pounds seem less insignificant?
Finally, two and a half hours after the fishing boats docked, the scores of all the participants in the competition were tallied, and a ranking of the competition was also published.
