The moment the race began, which was also the moment the cruise ship sounded its horn, Yuxue Shipping Company's official account also went live.
The live-streaming room, which is usually used for product sales, was surprisingly without the yellow shopping cart icon this time, which made the viewers who entered the live-streaming room feel a little uncomfortable.
Although the shared bikes were gone, the people appearing in the live stream were still familiar faces to the audience: Keke and Zhang Yuxin.
Although these two are now big internet celebrities, they asked their fans to help them register during the lottery for this competition, but unfortunately they were not selected.
Fortunately, the competition needed a host and commentators, so they brought the two of them along.
"Hello, everyone. I am Zhang Yuxin from Yuxue Shipping Company, and I am the host of this fan fishing competition."
"I am Keke, the commentator for this fan fishing competition."
"On behalf of Yuxue Shipping Company, we two welcome you all!" x2
With the live stream now open, has the competition officially begun?
For this live stream, Bai Yu and his team specially purchased a lot of satellite data, so that even at sea where there was no signal, their company's live stream would not be affected.
After introducing themselves, they then explained the rules of the competition to the camera. Apart from the restrictions on the bait, the rules were similar to those before.
Aside from the prohibition of using artificial lures, other choices are free for the anglers. There are no restrictions on fishing rods or anything else, as long as it's a rod, line, and hook.
The results are still based on total weight, but this competition also includes a "King of Fish" award. Whoever catches the biggest fish, regardless of species, and can sell it, will receive the King of Fish award.
Regarding the prize money, the total prize money for this competition is five million. The first place winner will receive three million, the second place winner will receive one million, the third place winner will receive five hundred thousand, the Fish King will receive four hundred thousand, the fourth, fifth and sixth place winners will each receive two thousand, the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth place winners will each receive one thousand, and the rest of the winners will not receive any prize money.
After explaining the competition rules and prize money, the next step is to thank the sponsors.
That's right, this competition has sponsors, and more than one.
The organizer was Yuxue Shipping Company, and there were three other sponsors. Anta brand provided clothing sponsorship, and all the contestants had their own set of competition clothes, as did the staff.
The life insurance company provided insurance coverage for the athletes, since their competition took place at sea, and no one can control the situation at sea; anything could happen at any moment.
Therefore, insurance is definitely necessary, and it should only be insurance that applies to this competition.
This sponsorship is very cost-effective for the life insurance company; all they need to do is provide some forms for the athletes to sign.
Once the competition ends and nothing untoward happens, the insurance business between their company and the players will also end, meaning their company will have made a pure profit by securing a sponsorship opportunity in such a popular competition.
Another brand is Mengniu, which is responsible for providing all the logistical support for this competition, not just milk and water, but all the food and drinks.
These companies had originally planned to increase the prize money for the competition, but Bai Yu refused.
He believes that the current five million bonus is already high enough and there is no need to increase it further, as doing so would be too high-profile.
After all, the prize money is already the ceiling in the fishing world; most official competitions don't offer as much as that.
With Zhang Yuxin and Keke's introduction, the live stream's popularity had already started to rise even before the competition officially began.
The first match of this competition will begin at 9:00 AM on the 11th and continue until 8:00 PM, for a total of eleven hours of competition per day.
They are still on the yacht. Keke and her team are only conducting a pre-competition interview, a brief interview with each of the 104 participants.
Bai Yu is undoubtedly the first to be interviewed. As the favorite to win this competition, the uncrowned king of the first Fan Fishing Competition, and the head of Yuxue Shipping Company, he will naturally be the first to be interviewed.
"Mr. Bai, excuse me, could you give us a few minutes for the interview?"
"Oh, you two are already at work? Not bad, not bad, your work attitude is good. Tell me, what do you want to interview? Just ask whatever you want to ask."
Bai Yu looked at Ke Ke and Zhang Yuxin. One of them was someone Bai Yu had personally recruited, and the other was a veteran employee of the company.
Bai Yu was relatively easy to talk to, but to his surprise, the first question they asked him was a direct blow to him.
"Okay, that's exactly what Mr. Bai wanted to hear. So we won't be polite. The questions we're asking are also the ones that netizens are most concerned about."
"Mr. Bai, a netizen asked, 'Our company appears to be in charge, but the actual person in charge isn't you, but your fiancée. What are your thoughts on this?'"
? ? ?
Good heavens, is this really necessary? This is a fishing competition, so if you're going to do an interview, ask some fishing-related questions. Why are you asking this?
Although Bai Yu was somewhat helpless about this issue, he quickly gave his answer: just tell the truth.
"Yes, the netizens' guess is correct. I don't really manage our company. My wife usually takes care of things. I only need to manage my wife."
So, are you all satisfied with my answer? Don't you also want to find a wife like that? It's a pity, this generation of netizens can find anything, but just not a girlfriend, hehehehe!
Bai Yu solemnly showed off her affection to the camera, and then provoked the netizens watching the live stream.
You know what, Bai Yu's words actually make some sense. Li Xue manages the company, and Bai Yu manages Li Xue. Wouldn't that save him a lot of trouble?
After being fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), Keke and Zhang Yuxin exchanged a glance and then asked some more questions, but these questions were much more serious, as they started asking about the competition.
No matter what, Bai Yu is their boss, so a little mischief is enough. They understand the principle of moderation.
Moreover, Bai Yu wasn't their only leader; Li Xue was their company's accountant and also served as the company's president, wielding immense power over their lives.
So in the following questions, they asked about the original intention of holding the competition, the expected results of the competition, and what kind of ranking they wanted to achieve.
In this regard, Bai Yu doesn't understand the meaning of being low-key either; he speaks with his sights set on winning the championship.
In his view, the primary goal of any competitive event is to win the championship. If you don't have the confidence to aim for the championship, then why participate in the competition?
After interviewing Bai Yu, Ke Ke and her team visited some other contestants, including internet celebrities and ordinary contestants, many of whom experienced seasickness.
In response to this situation, Keke and her friends took a camera and filmed these people up close. They also explained in the live stream what measures could be taken to make oneself feel better after getting seasick.
The reason for the close-up shots was that when confirming the spots with these contestants, their staff had repeatedly confirmed with them that they didn't get seasick.
Then, after they boarded the ship, it turned into this mess. This is no joke!
Fortunately, there was a ship's doctor on board the yacht. Since their yacht was a sightseeing yacht, the ship's doctor had a lot of experience in dealing with seasickness. After a little treatment, the symptoms of these people were relieved a lot.
In response, Keke and her friends reminded all viewers again on camera that if there are similar opportunities in the future, they hope everyone can speak the truth and not hide anything.
This is good for everyone, and it ensures everyone's safety.
