With the announcement of the third annual fan fishing competition, coupled with the immense popularity of the Yuxue fishing boat's launch, this small company competition instantly topped the trending search list.
Before this, not many people paid attention to the competition organized by Bai Yu's company; only their fans would ask about it.
But things are different now. Two things have come together and exploded at the same time. In just a few days, Yuxue Shipping Company's fan base has grown by more than ten million.
For a moment, the people in the company were a little confused as to whether the number of followers had increased because of the launch of the Yuxue fishing boat, or because the fishing competition required following the account for a spot.
As for the sales figures from these two days, they've been frighteningly high every day.
Their company does three live streams a day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening, with each live stream lasting between twelve and thirteen hours.
Since the launch of the Yuxue, their company's daily live streams, whether on Douyin or Kuaishou, have never had fewer than one million viewers.
Every time the livestreamer puts a product up for sale, it sells out instantly. Their company is always ranked number one on the sales charts.
In just two days, the sales volume of live streaming on both platforms exceeded 10 billion yuan, which is more than the subsidies given by some e-commerce platforms during e-commerce festivals.
The discounts and subsidies offered during e-commerce festivals are just a gimmick; neither the platforms nor the sellers actually spend any money on them.
But Bai Yu and his group are different. Although they didn't spend their own money on the event, they took money from their fans' wallets and put it into their own pockets.
As the sales progressed, Bai Yu even had an idea: if he moved the live stream to the Yuxue, how exaggerated would the sales figures be?
Could a single live stream recoup the cost of building the Yuxue?
Given the personality of our online friends, this is really possible. Let alone the cost of building a Type 052D destroyer, if our mom allowed it, we could even crowdfund to build an aircraft carrier.
By then, let's not even talk about a province having a ship; if we broaden our perspective, a city or a district/county could also be included.
Forget about villages and towns; it's simply unaffordable at the village and town level. Even if we had that much money, we wouldn't have that much space. A proper aircraft carrier is just too big.
When he heard Li Shuang report the sales figures from the live stream, he simply replied that he must strictly control the selection of products.
Their company is indeed booming now, making money more and more easily. But precisely because of this, more and more people are now keeping an eye on their company.
Not to mention that their company had just offended a large number of media outlets, and these people were not known for their magnanimity.
The reason they aren't causing trouble for Bai Yu and Yuxue Shipping Company right now is because Bai Yu's company doesn't have any leverage against them, so even if they wanted to cause trouble, they couldn't.
However, if their company makes even the slightest mistake, these guys will come at them like hyenas, tearing them apart.
As for how much profit their company can gain from sales of 10 billion yuan, the initial estimate is over 1 billion yuan.
In addition to the benefits brought by live streaming, the company also sold another batch of sockeye salmon that it had previously caught, bringing in a large sum of money for the company.
However, given the current situation, it may be a little difficult to sell all of these 10,000 tons of sockeye salmon before the Lunar New Year.
Never mind, let's leave the sales to someone else. Bai Yu has other things to do.
Before the start of the third annual fan fishing competition, Bai Yu went to Anta's filming base to shoot an advertisement for the new spring products of the following year, and also chatted about sponsorship.
After participating in the Olympics, Bai Yu signed a two-year endorsement contract with Anta, and there are still more than six months left.
Shooting commercials is his duty, but discussing sponsorships is his goal.
Since it's a fishing competition, Bai Yu plans to do what he did last year: give each participant a uniform competition vest.
Last year's clothing was sponsored by Anta, so Bai Yu naturally thought of Anta again this year, hoping they would sponsor her as well.
Anta agreed to Bai Yu's request without hesitation. They had originally wanted Bai Yu to discuss this matter, but they didn't expect Bai Yu to speak first.
Unfortunately, Bai Yu only accepted the clothing sponsorship and did not accept their sponsorship of the prize money.
In Bai Yu's opinion, a prize of five million is already quite a lot; any more would be a bit too much.
As for the other sponsors, just like last year, Bai Yu contacted several brands he had previously collaborated with, including insurance and dairy companies.
Although their endorsement deal had ended, they still agreed to sponsor the competition given the high level of sponsorship they were offered.
The same applies to the other configurations. Bai Yu and his team first approached companies or individuals who had previously collaborated with their company. After all, these companies or individuals already had relevant experience, so they would definitely be more familiar with the procedures when organizing another competition.
Unsurprisingly, no matter which company Bai Yu and his team approached, as long as they went there, even if Bai Yu's asking price remained the same as before without any increase, the other party always agreed immediately.
As I said before, in today's society, traffic is equivalent to money.
The competition that Bai Yu is currently organizing is generating an extremely high level of buzz. Anyone who can participate in this competition, whether an individual or a company, will benefit greatly.
The more people pay attention to this competition, the more it will be like advertising for these companies and individuals. And if there are any great edited videos later, their advertisements will continue to exist.
For these people, this is a very advantageous situation, as they may be able to turn traffic into profit at any time.
Besides the companies that had previously collaborated with them, those that hadn't worked with them before but wanted to get a share of the profits from the competition or join in also called Yuxue Shipping Company.
Some related companies even asked others to convey their desire to get involved.
Bai Yu did not hesitate at all in the face of this situation and rejected them all, not agreeing to a single one.
In terms of background, Bai Yu is not necessarily afraid of anyone now. As long as he doesn't make any mistakes, no one will be able to do anything to him.
As for whether some local leaders in Sanya will make things difficult for him?
That's not a problem. He can just wear it and leave. Anyway, it's very easy for him to move his company. Except for the processing plant, which is not easy to move, everything else can be moved at any time.
Moreover, they are the kind of company that is favored by local leaders wherever they go, after all, their company's profits are so high that high taxes are not necessarily very high.
Such large taxpayers, especially those that pay taxes properly and avoid trouble, are the most favored enterprises by local leaders.
So as long as their local leaders aren't stupid, they won't cause trouble for Bai Yu and his team, unless a company with greater value than theirs comes along.
After more than ten days of busy work, the 300 contestants for the competition were finally confirmed, and their company had a total of ten contestants participating.
Bai Yu reserved thirty spots in advance, which effectively avoided the embarrassing situation last year when only four people from their company participated.
Now that there are ten people participating, things are much better.
Bai Yu used up his thirty spots, giving some to his own company employees and the rest to several other fishing bloggers and his company's partners.
Sometimes you really have to admit that having connections is truly amazing.
For ordinary people, it is extremely difficult to secure a spot in this competition, as the spots are only drawn from the live stream and comments section.
Each time, millions of people participate, making the odds of winning extremely low.
However, if you have connections and can get in touch with Bai Yu's company, you can try to use those connections to see if you can get a spot from Bai Yu. That would be much more convenient.
For example, one of Anta's senior executives is a fishing enthusiast who wanted to participate in the fishing competition. However, he tried to get a spot in the live stream and comments section for several days but failed.
Even when he tried to buy a spot, he couldn't get one. So, he had no choice but to ask Yuxue Shipping Company for a spot.
As for whether it would be bad if word got out about this backdoor deal?
No, because when Bai Yu and his company were organizing the competition, they made it very clear that there would be thirty special spots.
We've already given advance notice, so what complaints could possibly arise?
Besides, this competition was organized by the company, and they themselves were the organizers. They only asked for one-tenth of the spots, which is already very few.
It's much better than those who put people in the national team through connections, causing us to miss out on medals we could have won.
