Besides Bai Yu and Li Shuang, Wang Hai and Lu Sheng also successfully secured their spots in the next round.
Their scores were slightly lower, but they still managed to qualify. They both weighed just over 300 pounds and ranked 21st and 24th respectively, thus qualifying successfully.
Aside from those four, the remaining twenty-one people were almost all unfamiliar to them, consisting entirely of unknown contestants.
The only thing that Bai Yu felt sorry for was that Wang Qiang, whom he had met in the last competition, had failed in this competition. His score was only in the middle, and there was still a long way to go before he could advance.
After participating in the first elimination round, Bai Yu and his three companions packed their things, said goodbye to some acquaintances, and then drove away.
Due to the large number of participants and the fact that the first two days were elimination rounds, the organizers will not provide accommodation for this competition.
The organizers will only provide accommodation for the fifty finalists once they reach the finals.
There's nothing we can do about it. After all, there were over 500 participants initially, and if the organizers had provided accommodation...
How many rooms will be needed, and how much will it cost?
Even with sponsorship, this is still a considerable expense for an organizer like a fishing association.
Instead of spending the money on accommodation, they should use it elsewhere to provide a better viewing experience for their team at the game.
So, as soon as the competition ended, Bai Yu and the other three drove home immediately, as they were going to stay at home that day.
The distance from the competition venue to where they were waiting at their company wasn't too far; it would only take about an hour by car.
However, this is all predicated on the absence of traffic jams. If there are traffic jams, it's impossible to say how long it will take on the road.
Fortunately, Bai Yu and his group were quite lucky. They didn't encounter any traffic jams on their way home and returned to the company smoothly. After dropping Li Shuang and Lu Sheng off at the company, he took Wang Hai home.
Don't let Li Shuang and Lu Sheng's positions as senior executives in their company fool you; they're definitely high-income earners. This year, their earnings, including base salary, monthly bonuses, and year-end bonuses, are substantial.
Their income is quite high, but the two of them still live in the company dormitory, and they live under the same roof as other employees.
In addition, they have had virtually no extra expenses this year. The company provides accommodation and meals, and their usual expenses are just buying clothes and going out on weekends.
The two brothers had a considerable amount of money. Bai Yu had told them more than once to buy a house in the county or city and settle down in Sanya in the future.
If all else fails, buying a house in Haikou is also an option. After all, a house is real estate, and even if the appreciation potential is not great, the potential for price reduction is also not too large.
After all, Hainan Province is a tourist province, attracting a large number of tourists every year, especially from the north. Many of them have the idea of buying a house and settling down in Hainan Province, living the life of spending winters in Hainan Province and returning to the north in summer.
In the end, Bai Yu's suggestion was rejected by Li Shuang and Lu Sheng on the grounds that they did not have enough funds to pay the full amount for the house!
As for Bai Yu himself, he doesn't lack houses.
Putting aside his status as a local of Hainan Province, he owns a self-built house in his hometown fishing village, and that house belongs to him.
In addition, among the prizes he has won in previous competitions, there are two real estate prizes, one in Haikou and one in downtown Sanya. Although they are both relatively small studio apartments, they are enough for him to live in.
In addition, he received a car as a reward, making him a successful person with both a house and a car.
Moreover, even if Bai Yu had nothing, he still had a girlfriend. Li Xue was the only daughter in her family, and her parents were government employees.
Moreover, they were among the last to be allocated housing by their work unit. Li Xue's family owned a house in the county and a house in the city. Even if Bai Yu wasn't doing well, given his relationship with Li Xue and how much his godmother liked him, he could easily become a live-in son-in-law.
This is the main reason why Bai Yu has never wanted to buy a house since he started making money; he genuinely doesn't lack housing.
However, after a year of development, Bai Yu made a decision: she must buy a house next year after the company distributes dividends.
However, the house he bought wasn't for himself, but to persuade Li Shuang and Lu Sheng to buy a house in Hai Province—it was a must.
He has now realized that with Li Shuang and others in the company, he can save himself a lot of trouble. He doesn't need to do many things himself; Li Xue and Li Shuang can solve them for him.
The idea of having Li Shuang and Lu Sheng buy houses in Hai Province was to create a deep connection between them and the company, keeping them on the company's big ship.
Bai Yu drove back to the small fishing village, had dinner at home, and then prepared to edit the video.
For Bai Yu now, his days are both incredibly boring and incredibly fulfilling; he is a very contradictory person.
When he encounters something he doesn't want to do, he'll delegate the work to someone else. If he's bored, he can edit videos to pass the time.
Just as Bai Yu was editing the video, Li Xue came into Bai Yu's room with a plate of watermelon.
"Brother Xiaobai, why don't you let the company's post-production team do the video editing? Why are you editing it yourself? Staring at the computer for so long is bad for your eyes."
"It's nothing. I'm just taking a break from editing this video to think about things."
"By the way, Xue'er, is the company account set up today? We can't keep having to use private messages; sometimes they bring in a lot of customers for our company."
Upon seeing Li Xue, Bai Yu casually took a slice of watermelon from the plate and ate it, then inquired about the situation of Li Xue's company.
The issue of their private messages being flooded with messages may not seem like a big deal, but it will definitely have an impact on the company, especially since many of their potential clients contact them via private messages to seek cooperation.
If private messaging remains unavailable, they may lose this potential customer segment.
"It's all fixed. When private messaging stopped working, they contacted the official technical staff and resolved the issue quickly."
However, the company's account and your personal account are still receiving a large number of private messages every second, all asking about recruitment.
In my opinion, if we don't clarify the recruitment situation or give these netizens a clear answer, this situation will probably continue for several more days.
However, our company still gained quite a few benefits from this situation. Besides the traffic gains, can you guess what they are, Xiaobai?
? ? ?
Netizens flooded their company's private messages, and their company even received a bonus, but it wasn't a bonus in terms of traffic.
After listening to what Li Xue said, Bai Yu fell into deep thought, but no matter how much he pondered, he couldn't guess what this "bonus" referred to.
After all, Bai Yu really doesn't have much talent when it comes to running a company. In addition, he doesn't pay much attention to company affairs. He just occasionally goes to the company for a stroll and eats and drinks in the live broadcast room a few times. He really doesn't know much else.
"Tsk, Xue'er, this question has stumped me. I can't guess it. Why don't you just reveal the answer?"
Bai Yu wouldn't force herself to guess what she couldn't figure out; instead, she directly asked Li Xue for her final answer.
"Brother Xiaobai, you're so silly. These netizens are sending private messages to our company, so they must be looking for jobs. Since they want to find jobs, they should send their resumes."
Today we received thousands of resumes and past work experience reports, including people from all walks of life, such as crew members, captains, and company operations staff.
Jingjing, Uncle Bai, and my eldest uncle have all reviewed many of the resumes. My uncle even knows some of the crew members and the captain.
"Wow, what a great harvest! This is like a huge human resource pool. It's a pity that our company is still too small. Even after the two ships are delivered after the New Year, our company will only have three ships, so we won't need that many people."
The company needs even fewer people. You can handle this as you see fit. Or you could pick a few employees from among them to join the company. As for the crew, you can talk to your uncle about it later.
The shipping company he used to work for was quite large, and he knew quite a few crew members in the Haihe River region. We're about one and a half crew members short for our fishing boats. Let's try to find people my uncle knows; it's more reassuring to hire acquaintances."
After Bai Yu finished telling Li Xue his thoughts, the two of them chatted about company matters for a while. Li Xue mainly talked to him, while Bai Yu listened and occasionally offered his opinions.
Then he continued editing the video. Around 11 p.m., after uploading the video, he washed up and went to rest.
The next morning, since Bai Yu and his three companions didn't have a match to play, and the day's event was the second round of elimination matches, everyone seemed very relaxed on their way to the competition venue.
The four of them set off at seven in the morning, but by the time they arrived at the competition venue it was almost ten o'clock. They had spent much more time on the road than the day before.
During this process, they leisurely enjoyed the scenery along the way and arrived at the competition venue.
When they arrived, the second day's competition had already begun, so they just watched others fish and cheered on people they knew.
Even though Bai Yu and his team didn't have a match on the second day, they still came here with a specific purpose besides observing their opponents.
That means picking a few bloggers and seeing if they are interested in joining their company.
As their company's popularity continues to rise, Bai Yu received news from Li Xue yesterday that many merchants have recently approached their company, wanting them to help promote their products.
However, their company currently has a very limited number of live streamers. Besides Lu Sheng, there is only one female live streamer who partners with him, so each live stream only lasts for three hours.
If you want to sell other companies' products, the first thing you need to do is increase your staff, at least one more person, and then add a shift for live streaming.
As for the target person, Bai Yu and his group had some ideas, namely, they planned to talk to Ke Ke.
In Li Shuang's opinion, selling goods is more convenient for female live streamers, and Ke Ke happens to be one such streamer, previously focusing on beauty and sports-related topics.
The merchants who happened to be looking for Bai Yu's company included many sporting goods. In any case, these merchants were approaching their company because of Bai Yu's popularity, and Bai Yu's main profession is as an athlete.
Therefore, Keke only needs to slightly change her approach to start selling products live.
Today they plan to talk to Keke in person to see if she is interested in joining the company. Of course, it's just joining; her account will still belong to her. She can still do her usual live streams and update her videos. She only needs to sell products in their company's live stream room during the designated sales period.
In addition to paying her a salary and taking a commission, Bai Yu's company also provides her with some exposure to help her boost her account's popularity.
As time ticked by, it quickly came to 6 p.m., and the second day of the elimination rounds came to an end.
After waiting for the results of the competition the next day, Keke was unsurprisingly eliminated. Then, the group of friends approached Keke and took her and her friends to a place for a meal.
Ke Ke wasn't disappointed about not being selected. After all, she wasn't really into fishing, and she didn't care too much about whether she advanced or not. It didn't matter if she didn't advance.
As Bai Yu and his group left, the list of fifty finalists was released, and many of them were acquaintances of theirs.
Like the fishing masters that Bai Yu was familiar with before, their performance this time was also very stable, and they should have no problem getting a spot to advance.
People like Lao Deng and Lao Liu have also advanced.
During the subsequent meal, Bai Yu also discussed their thoughts with Ke Ke. Ke Ke did not immediately agree to join Yu Xue Shipping Company, only saying that she needed to think about it.
This is normal. In any case, once the other party accepts Bai Yu's invitation, she will no longer be a free agent, but will be a company employee.
Even if Bai Yu told her that there were fewer restrictions, who can say for sure what the situation will be like after the contract is signed?
So it's normal for Keke to need to think it over, and she'll give them an answer after she's thought it through.
After dinner, Bai Yu and his three companions did not return to Sanya, but instead found a place to stay in Wanning.
Tomorrow is the main event of this fishing competition. The competition time is the same as before, from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm.
To avoid traffic jams on their way to the competition venue from home tomorrow, Bai Yu and his group decided not to go back today. Instead, they found a hotel in Wanning to stay temporarily and wait for the main competition to begin the next day.
