The next morning around 10 a.m., Bai Yu returned to the dock in his fishing boat.
This time, however, they didn't dock at the county's dock, but rather in the city.
After all, there are just too many boats used for the competition this time—thirty large boats over seventy meters long. The county's docks may not have enough berths.
To be precise, there aren't that many berths connected together; they're only found in the city. Bai Yu specifically asked people to reserve them.
As the fishing boat came to a stop, all the staff got busy, some counting the catch, others contacting vehicles.
Meanwhile, a stage was set up at the dock, and Bai Yue and the others were busy around it.
Bai Yu's company made thorough preparations for this competition, investing not only cash costs but also a significant amount of manpower and resources.
In fact, these human and material resources are worth far more than the bonuses prepared by the company.
This competition may seem to have only prepared 20 million yuan in prize money, but the investment before and after, the live broadcast, and the personnel allocation in all aspects are significant.
Thirty ships for the competition, plus a large number of accompanying ships, various supplies, and so on. All these costs combined make the 20 million prize money seem insignificant in comparison!
The competition is now over, and it's time for the final summary. The ultimate champion will soon be revealed.
At this exciting moment, all the players in this competition naturally got up early.
Even if everyone went to bed late last night, everyone woke up before 10 o'clock today.
After all, the ship's staff had already told them the approximate arrival time yesterday, and they had all set their alarms.
Even those athletes who had no ambition for the championship and didn't believe they could win it still got up very early.
They were just as eager to see how their results fared, and perhaps even more so than those who had a chance to compete for the championship.
In any case, given their performance, the prize money for the top few places has little to do with them. Since that's the case, it's better to calculate the results as soon as possible so they can find someone to sell the fish.
Regarding the fish caught in this competition, Bai Yu and his team gave the contestants several options, namely, they could choose to sell all their catch to Yu Xue Company.
You can also sell your catch to buyers at the dock, or they can take it away and process it themselves.
The three options lead to three different outcomes. Choosing Baiyu Company means you get to buy and sell all your harvest in one package, which will be slightly cheaper.
Selling to buyers at the dock might fetch a slightly higher price, but the exact price will depend on the player's negotiation with the buyer.
However, buyers are selective when it comes to purchasing fish; they don't accept just any fish.
Therefore, these two methods are different, and the choice is up to the contestants themselves.
As for the last option, there certainly won't be many players choosing this method; in fact, there might be none at all.
Because in this competition, even the lowest-scoring contestant caught more than a thousand kilograms of fish. How could these contestants possibly carry all that fish away?
Are you suggesting we hire a special refrigerated truck to transport these fish via refrigerated transport?
That cost is probably a bit high. The contestants come to the competition to make money, not to spend money. There's no need to do things that cost money.
For example, the young man who was fishing next to Bai Yu during the competition was quite lucky; he was the first fish caught on their fishing boat to be counted.
He had a very good time during the five-day competition. Although he didn't win the championship, his total score was over 2,600 jin.
This is without the extra bonus from special fish species. If it were, his score would be around 3,100 to 3,200 jin.
If this result had been achieved in previous editions, there would have been a chance to stand on the podium and win the prize money.
However, in this competition, let alone winning the prize money, his performance wouldn't even rank in the top three on their ship.
But the young man didn't show any disappointment on his face; instead, he had a smile on his face.
After he signed his name on the competition results confirmation form, he left directly with another staff member.
This staff member wasn't from the event organizers, but from the Yuxue Seafood Processing Plant. He was going with this person to sell fish.
The staff did a quick calculation for him, and his catch of over 2,000 kilograms of fish could fetch at least 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. If there were a lot of pomfret among them, he could even make 100,000 yuan.
As the contestant left, the others looked at his retreating figure with envy, while also filled with anticipation for their own catch.
As time went by, more and more contestants' results were tallied up.
The smiles on the faces of every contestant after their scores were tallied were undisguised. Everyone was extremely happy and expressed that they would like to participate in the competition again if they had the chance next time.
Thanks to a bit of luck in this sea competition, although the competition only lasted five days, everyone caught a considerable amount of fish, and the variety of fish caught was also quite good.
In particular, each of them caught quite a few pomfret and croaker. The price of the former goes without saying; the market price starts at three figures.
Even if we're selling it at the landed price now, which is lower than the market price, it still won't be too low.
After all, Bai Yu's company has its own sales channels, and without middlemen taking a cut, the purchase price they offer is actually not low.
The price difference for the latter type of croaker is quite large. The larger the croaker, the more valuable it is. However, this price is for the fish maw inside the croaker's belly. Smaller croakers are much cheaper.
How low is it? In terms of the value of the fish meat alone, the price of croaker may not even be as high as that of barracuda.
The smaller the size of the croaker, the lower the price of its maw, and consequently, the lower the selling price.
Therefore, even if the scores of these contestants are similar, the final calculated amount and price will still have some differences.
Overall, it's still acceptable. At least so far, Bai Yu hasn't heard of anyone earning less than 10,000.
It seems that this year's competition will break the record for player earnings once again.
