The fourth annual fan fishing competition will not start until the end of December, and it is only December 1st now, so there are still more than 20 days to go.
At this moment, Bai Yu was wondering what he should do for the past twenty days.
He doesn't want to go abroad to compete anymore. He's already participated in all the international competitions in this Olympic cycle and won all the gold medals he could. There's no need for him to go again.
As for fishing competitions, I haven't heard of any fishing competitions being held recently, and no one has invited him. He really doesn't know much about this kind of thing.
After all, he wasn't involved in the fishing circle, so they weren't on the same wavelength and naturally didn't have much interaction.
All he does every day now is go for a run, go beachcombing at the small pier in front of the fishing village, and shoot some video footage.
Overall, there's something to do every day, but not much.
"Ah Hai, we're both pretty stuck at the company right now, so how about we find somewhere to have some fun? Do you have any good suggestions?"
After lunch, Bai Yu sat down in his boss's chair and looked at Wang Hai across from him, asking a question.
"Brother Fisherman, look what I found! A fishing spot specializing in catching big fish, a whole pond of giant grouper right here."
Wang Hai was looking at his phone at the time, and after hearing Bai Yu's words, he immediately took the phone away.
On Wang Hai's phone was a live stream, the kind that specializes in live-streaming the fishing for big fish. A fisherman was seen using a fishing rod to catch big fish in a pond.
These live streams are usually for selling products, such as the same fishing rods used by anglers.
After all, the fish caught by the fishermen in the live stream are all over fifty pounds, and some even weigh over a hundred pounds.
A fishing rod that can pull up a fish weighing over 100 pounds is a good indicator of its quality. However, once you place an order and receive the rod, you'll have to wait and see how it turns out.
However, this was not something Bai Yu should worry about. When he saw the live stream, Bai Yu immediately had an idea: he could go fishing too!
However, there's no need to go to fish ponds like the one in the live stream that specialize in catching giant grouper; he can just rent a fish pond himself to fish.
Recently, many bloggers online have been making money by "renting out" fish ponds, even though nine and a half out of ten of them are losing money, but they don't seem to care.
After all, these bloggers don't expect to make money by selling fish. What they want is traffic and popularity. Once their accounts are established, they can then take on advertising and product sales to make money.
As a fellow video blogger, Bai Yu doesn't lack traffic or money, but he can still participate in such fun things.
However, he doesn't completely copy the script of other bloggers who manage fish ponds. He doesn't compete with others for traffic in this area; he can do something else.
Others lease a fishpond to clean out and sell all the fish in it, while he can lease a fishpond, hire some people to fish, and catch all the fish in the pond.
This person can approach his fans or passersby, and he can even set up a daily award, such as a reward for catching the most fish or the largest single fish.
Thinking of this, Bai Yu immediately called Li Shuang and asked her to come over.
Five minutes later.
"Brother Yu, what brings you here? I'm pretty busy here. If there's nothing else, I have to go back to work."
? ? ?
Li Shuang hadn't even arrived yet, but his voice came over first. However, wasn't what he said a bit contrary to the Heavenly Gang?
Li Shuang rebelled against Tian Gang, but Bai Yu was no pushover either; he responded with an advertising slogan.
"I know you're busy, but I just wanted to see you and chat with you."
With just a simple sentence, but delivered in a slightly deeper voice, Bai Yu's status seemed to instantly rise to a higher level, as if he had been promoted a generation.
Bai Yu's actions immediately made Wang Hai burst out laughing. Someone like him, who has received professional training, would normally not burst out laughing unless he couldn't help it.
However, Li Shuang wasn't angry. They were all college classmates, and everyone had thought about being someone else's godfather at some point.
Bai Yu then shared her thoughts with Li Shuang, wanting to ask for Li Shuang's opinion.
"Shuangzi, I've already told you my thoughts. What do you think? Should I post an explanation using my account, or what should I do?"
Bai Yu's original intention was to invite more fans to join him, since fishing is more fun with more people.
"Brother Fisherman, I don't think your idea is good. It's not that the idea of renting a fishpond for fishing is bad, but the idea of using an account to issue a statement is bad."
You seem to have forgotten something: the number of followers and your influence on your account. Maybe you're thinking that finding a few dozen or a hundred followers to fish together will be enough.
But once you actually post the video, can you know how many people will come? What if the number exceeds your expectations, or even exceeds the capacity of the fishpond (the platform for attracting viewers), causing consequences beyond your control?
After listening to what Bai Yu said, Li Shuang didn't just blindly agree. Even though Bai Yu was the company's boss, he was still pragmatic. He agreed with the good ideas, but he also pointed out the unreasonable ones.
Just as Li Shuang said, Bai Yu's identity is different after all. Considering his current number of followers on both platforms, and if we add his Weibo followers, even if there are some duplicates...
However, if he launches an event, he will receive a lot of responses from fans, and he already has quite a few fans in Hainan Province.
If a large number of people arrive and the crowd becomes uncontrollable, the consequences could be beyond Bai Yu's capacity to bear or foresee.
"Then what do you think I should do? I can't just rent a fishpond and then only a few of us go fishing, can I? I might as well just take Ah Hai to a fishpond to fish."
Bai Yu agreed with Li Shuang's statement, but he also didn't want too few people to go fishing, so he was conflicted...
"Brother Yu, if you want me to come up with a solution, it's that we used our own company employees a couple of days ago. We have several thousand people in our company now, so finding a few dozen fishing enthusiasts among them wouldn't be a problem at all."
Besides, didn't you also say that you'd be setting up several awards every day? With the incentive of those awards, it's easy to find some people in the company to go fishing.
Alternatively, if we really don't have enough people, we can find some locals. Local anglers all have fishing groups. We can easily find a group of anglers by posting a message in a group every day.
This way, your requirements will be met, and there won't be any unnecessary trouble caused by too many people.
After listening to what Li Shuang said, two words flashed through Bai Yu's mind: talent!
Indeed, as Li Shuang said, they could start by inviting company employees to go fishing together, as a team-building activity.
Anyway, they are just an internet live-streaming e-commerce company, and the rest of the crew members are on rest. It's not difficult to find some employees who can fish and have time.
As for simply shouting in the local fishing enthusiasts' group, that's even simpler.
No matter where they are from, as long as there is a place to fish and there are many anglers, they will all form a fishing group.
Even Bai Yu, who doesn't fish for freshwater fish much, still has a fishing group, but he just doesn't read the messages in that group.
But things are different now. Bai Yu is planning to rent a fishpond and find some people to fish for free. He won't charge them, and he'll even give them some of the fish they catch. He'll also select a few people each day to give them a reward.
After using this combo, he refused to believe that no one would try to bait him.
As for why not give away all the fish, that's definitely not an option. We can only give away a portion. Otherwise, people will see that there's something to gain here, and regardless of whether they know how to fish or not, they'll all come here to fish.
According to Bai Yu's plan, he intends to lease a slightly larger fishpond and then lease it until the end of the month.
In other words, there can't be too few people fishing at this pond, but there can't be too many either; it has to last until the end of the month, which is when their fan fishing competition starts.
After having a general idea, Bai Yu sent Li Shuang to work, and then he took Wang Hai out.
Hai Province is an island province, surrounded by the sea on all sides, isolated on the ocean.
The food eaten here is mostly saltwater fish; freshwater fish are not only eaten less often, but they are also not farmed very much.
After all, compared to farming freshwater fish, the barrier to entry for raising marine fish in Hainan Province is lower.
However, it's not that no one raises freshwater fish here; there are, but you just need to go and find them.
Based on the scale required by Bai Yu, ordinary fish farmers certainly wouldn't meet the requirements. He plans to find a large-scale fish farm, preferably a reservoir, to contract.
These days, raising fish in reservoirs is quite common, since many freshwater fish species have the function of purifying water.
The most common are silver carp and bighead carp, while bighead carp and silver carp have similar functions.
Once the water quality improves, it becomes much easier to raise other freshwater fish. As long as the stocking density is not too high, it will not affect the water quality.
Soon, Bai Yu led Wang Hai to a small reservoir. How small was this reservoir? The water surface area was only about 60 acres, making it one of the smallest reservoirs out there.
It's more accurate to describe it as a large reservoir rather than a water reservoir.
This reservoir is located in the town next to Bai Yu's, where a river flows directly into the sea, and the reservoir is built not far from the estuary.
