Bai Yu asked the old man a few questions about him, mainly related to fishing and fishing boats.
The old man lived up to expectations, answering all the questions and occasionally sharing his own opinions.
Bai Yu then took a red envelope from her bag and handed it to the old man.
"Sir, congratulations on completing the quiz. This is your reward. We wish you a pleasant and enjoyable fishing competition."
"Wow, there's a prize for answering questions? This red envelope is quite generous; there must be at least five hundred yuan in it."
"Exactly five hundred. Five hundred for all correct answers, one hundred for each wrong answer. Alright, sir, I'm going to find the next person to ask questions. Have fun."
After Bai Yu finished speaking, he left and continued to stroll around the square.
This quiz isn't just for the old man; it's open to everyone. Any contestant who answers the questions correctly will receive a reward.
These questions are quite simple; they are basically things Bai Yu has done in the past. Even if you don't know the answers, it's very easy to guess.
Before asking questions, Bai Yu would also inquire how the other person came to know him. If it was about long-distance running, he would ask questions about long-distance running; if it was about fishing, he would ask questions about fishing; and if it was about beachcombing, he would ask questions about beachcombing.
He prepared a total of two hundred red envelopes, and he planned to send them all out.
The main reason Bai Yu wanted to hold this quiz with prizes was to give the contestants a taste of success before the competition started.
This money is essentially used to reimburse some of the contestants' travel expenses. Their fan competition only reimbursed travel expenses for the first edition; subsequent expenses have not been reimbursed.
But this time, Bai Yu plans to give the contestants a small reward in a different way, by reimbursing part of their travel expenses.
As Bai Yu weaved through the crowd, wherever he appeared, gasps of surprise would erupt.
The arrival of Bai Yu, especially since he was bringing red envelopes, greatly interested all the contestants in the competition.
A large crowd would quickly gather around him, waiting for Bai Yu to ask the current people before searching for the next person.
Don't be fooled by the small amount of money Bai Yu puts in the red envelopes; the most she puts in is only 500 yuan. For some fans from other provinces who come to Hainan Province to participate in this competition, this amount of money isn't even enough for half a round-trip airfare.
However, you have to consider who gave the money. Although the amount is not much, the meaning changes once you change the person who gave the money to Bai Yu.
After all, there was a prerequisite for them to participate in the competition: they had to be fans of Bai Yu, otherwise they wouldn't be able to come.
The charm of an idol is irresistible; it's an invisible bonus.
Before long, Bai Yu's red envelopes were almost empty; the 50,000 yuan in red envelopes was about to run out.
Bai Yu's questions not only helped pass the time but also brought joy to all the contestants present, giving everyone a sense of participation.
After having these feelings, Bai Yu had only one thought: his money had not been wasted.
While handing out red envelopes, Bai Yu also took many group photos with both male and female fans, and sometimes even signed her name on her sportswear.
However, he only signs his name on sportswear; he never signs his name on paper.
After Bai Yu had given out all the red envelopes, he went inside the company for a look around.
There was still some time before the start of the competition; the opening ceremony was at 5 PM, and some people would be giving speeches. As the organizer, he would have to show his face then.
The opening ceremony of this competition was held at the county's dock, which is the headquarters of Bai Yu's company. Naturally, any event would prioritize the county.
In order to allow all the contestants to board fishing boats at the county's dock, Bai Yu's company has brought in twenty fishing boats, each carrying twenty-five contestants to sea for the competition.
This number only represents the number of fishing boats providing fishing platforms for the participants. If we add various rescue boats, broadcast boats, supply boats, and other vessels, the figure would be significantly different.
To ensure the smooth running of this competition, Bai Yu arranged for nearly a hundred boats of varying sizes to provide support and protection.
Now, apart from the twenty fishing boats that will take the athletes out to sea and are waiting at the dock, the other dozens of fishing boats are floating on the sea, waiting for the opening ceremony to end so that everyone can set off together.
Around 4 p.m., Bai Yu and Wang Hai arrived at the dock and waited there.
Upon arriving at the dock, the intensity of the competition was still palpable. The crowd that had gathered at the company entrance earlier was already quite large, numbering in the hundreds.
But at the dock, there were even more people, far exceeding the five hundred who were going to participate in the competition.
To maintain order at the dock, relevant departments have dispatched personnel to the scene.
The reason why so many people came to the pier was partly due to locals, Bai Yu's fans, and some of the contestants' fans coming to watch the excitement, and partly due to the families of the contestants.
Especially for those athletes from other places, who are not from Hainan Province, coming to Sanya is essentially like coming for tourism.
Such a great opportunity, of course you should bring your family along! Don't worry about whether they can actually travel around Sanya together after you bring them; at least you've brought them, and that shows your attitude, and that's enough.
Amidst a burst of noise, the opening ceremony of this fan fishing competition officially began.
The opening ceremony was hosted by Li Shuang and Ke Ke. They are a couple and also the company's top live-streaming sales hosts and executives.
Given their status, they are perfectly safe to be hosts.
As for the officials invited this time, they came from both the city and the county levels. In any case, Yuxue Shipping Company is now a large company in Sanya, and the annual tax payment from its two companies and one factory is calculated in the hundreds of millions.
Given their company's contribution, and mainly because they were invited, the relevant departments had to give them face.
The opening ceremony started at 5 o'clock, and the presentation ended at a little past 5 o'clock. The whole process was brief and effective, and everything that needed to be said was said without any unnecessary embellishment.
After the presentation, all the contestants drew lots to determine the fishing boat numbers, and then they could board the boats for a meal.
The reason for holding the opening ceremony at five o'clock is so that everyone can have a meal together after the ceremony, get to know each other during the meal, and then help each other out on the sea voyage.
The rules for this fishing competition remain the same as before: no auxiliary equipment can be used during the fishing process, and no other people can help with the fishing.
However, once the fish are pulled to the side of the boat, other people can help, such as frying the fish or helping to hang them up; this is not against the rules.
So sometimes it's beneficial for everyone on the same ship to get to know a few more people.
As people who got in through connections in this competition, Bai Yu and Wang Hai also had to draw numbers, so the two brothers might not even be on the same boat.
The results of the draw came out quickly. Bai Yu was on the Yu Xue Thirteen ship, and Wang Hai was on the Yu Xue Five ship. They were not together.
After the results came out, Bai Yu and Wang Hai each carried their fishing gear bags, found the fishing boats with the corresponding numbers, and boarded the boats directly.
As people with connections, Bai Yu and Wang Hai, while still having to abide by the rules during the competition, had one special privilege: they could choose their accommodations.
Other contestants may have to share rooms with other contestants, and most of them will be in four-person rooms, with double rooms being relatively rare.
However, fishermen can choose single rooms, which were originally the rooms for the management of the fishing boats.
However, this time, in order to provide a fishing competition for fans, the number of crew members on the fishing boat was not large, just enough to keep the boat running normally.
So a few single rooms will be available here. Others need to choose on a first-come, first-served basis, but someone has reserved one for Bai Yu.
Since he has this privilege, Bai Yu will use it. He is not a noble person who would not use the privileges he can enjoy in order to maintain some kind of image.
He is a very pragmatic person who uses what he has and doesn't care what others think or think of him.
After choosing their rooms, Bai Yu went to the restaurant for a meal and chatted with the other contestants.
They were all very happy to be on the same boat as Bai Yu, after all, they were all Bai Yu's fans.
Moreover, Bai Yu is not the kind of so-called internet celebrity. He has too many labels on him. It would be too shocking to classify him as an internet celebrity.
Bai Yu and his group ate on the fishing boat. Today, whether they were invited guests or audience members, everyone who came to the opening ceremony was also given food.
Bai Yue arranged a continuous feast for the audience, lasting for two hours. Those who could get a turn could eat something, while those who couldn't would have nothing to do.
The guests also ate at a continuous banquet, but they didn't have to queue and left as soon as they finished eating.
Yuxue Company's main principle is to treat everyone equally, including the audience, invited guests, and relevant personnel.
Regardless of the other person's identity, everyone is the same.
Around 7 p.m., a chorus of horn blasts sounded at the dock, and all the fishing boats began to move in an orderly fashion, ready to set off.
The official account of Yuxue Company also broadcast the scene live at the same time. For the viewers in the live broadcast room, the scene of dozens of fishing boats sounding their horns at the same time was still very impressive.
At the same time, the sounding of the horn also signifies the official start of the 4th Fan Fishing Competition!
