"Hey, Shuangzi, all the fish are sold out? How was it? How much money did you make? Have you divided it all up?"
When Bai Yu returned to the fishing boat, he saw Li Shuang and the others leisurely lying on deck chairs, and it was clear at a glance that all the fish had been sold.
After all, apart from Li Shuang and others having some free time, the middlemen who had gathered at the dock had also dispersed, which was enough to explain the situation.
"Brother Yu, everything's sold out. We made a total of 2,267,000 yuan. The value of everyone's catch has been tallied, and we're just waiting for you to come back and share the profits."
"Two million two hundred and sixty-seven thousand. Keep the change for gas money to go home. This money will come from my share, and the rest can be divided."
"Okay, everything's been calculated. Everyone, show your payment QR codes. I'm transferring the money to you."
After Li Shuang finished speaking, he sat up from the recliner, took out his phone, and prepared to transfer money to everyone present.
All the money from today's fish sale is with him, so naturally, you'll need to contact him for any transfers.
Soon everyone received their share. It's worth mentioning that the money wasn't divided equally among them; each person took their own share.
Bai Yu had the biggest catch, including a haul of sixty large yellow croakers. He also had two fish weighing over five pounds each, one of which was a massive 9.7-pound yellow croaker.
They only fished here for two days, but Bai Yu received 500,000 yuan. A catch of fish weighing over 200 jin sold for 300,000 yuan, and two large yellow croakers weighing over 5 jin sold for 258,000 yuan. The remaining 58,000 yuan was kept for their travel expenses home.
Bai Yu's 9.7-pound yellow croaker sold for 168,888 yuan. I don't know what these purchasing agents were thinking, always including some odd amounts in their quotes.
As for the price, this large yellow croaker is completely affordable, after all, it is the largest yellow croaker to appear this year.
Besides that, another large yellow croaker weighed over eight jin (approximately 4 catties) and sold for over 80,000 yuan. Together, the two items brought the total to over 150,000 yuan.
Of the more than two million yuan earned from selling fish, Bai Yu took more than one-fifth of it. Li Shuang and the others could only watch helplessly as this happened.
There's nothing that can be done; Bai Yu just has incredibly good luck with fish and always manages to catch valuable big fish.
Besides Bai Yu, the one who earned the most was Wang Hai. In any case, he could share in Bai Yu's good fortune. If Bai Yu had good luck, Wang Hai's luck wouldn't be too bad either.
Although he couldn't compare to Bai Yu, Wang Hai also earned over 300,000, making him the second highest earner.
As for the remaining personnel, each person earns over 200,000, and even if there are differences, they are not significant.
After all, apart from Bai Yue, the other eight people on the fishing boat were all in pairs. They had divided up the catch from the previous two days, so there wouldn't be any major discrepancies.
As for Bai Yu and Wang Hai, Bai Yu's wife was taken away by Bai Yue, so Bai Yue and Li Xue split their catch equally, and Bai Yu gave some of it to Wang Hai. He still had 500,000 yuan left in profit; otherwise, he could have earned even more.
Anyway, for Bai Yu, Li Xue is his wife and Bai Yue is his younger sister, so sharing some of the catch with them is not a big deal. It also helps to even out their catch, which is quite nice.
Wang Hai had already shared a portion of his earnings, but the remaining amount still earned him over 300,000 yuan.
Once all the money had been distributed, smiles appeared on everyone's faces; now they had money to go on a trip.
"By the way, Shuangzi, Ahai, I have something to tell you. Some fans mentioned a Douyin event here recently, and I just took photos with some fans, and I heard other fans talking about it again."
They said this event was a fishing competition spearheaded by Douyin (TikTok) and co-organized with the fishing association. My fans asked if I was interested in participating, but I didn't give a direct answer. What do you guys think? Should you try your luck at this fishing competition?
After the money was distributed, Bai Yu brought up something else: a competition organized by Douyin (TikTok).
"Brother Yu, if I remember correctly, the fishing competition should be starting soon, right? We haven't registered or done anything yet. Will we be able to go there like this?"
Unlike Bai Yu, who seemed indifferent and could go if she wanted to or not.
Li Shuang was wondering if they could go.
Li Shuang was aware of this fishing competition. Bai Yu's account had previously received a private message from the official organizers, but Li Shuang and his team rejected it.
It wasn't that Li Shuang was disrespecting Douyin's official stance; it was just that Bai Yu was still in the capital when the other party sent the private message, and she had various event announcements to attend, plus she had to go to Hong Kong.
At that time, Bai Yu was extremely busy. Li Shuang was in the capital acting as Bai Yu's assistant, and he was genuinely unsure whether Bai Yu would have time later.
After all, they still need to salvage the sunken ship, so Li Shuang directly explained the situation and refused the offer to avoid dragging things out and causing negative consequences.
But who could have imagined that Bai Yu not only had time now, but he also strolled over to Zhoushan and directly to the venue of this competition.
"They won't let us go? How could that be? Douyin just messaged me, asking if I was in Zhoushan. They invited me to participate in this event and even offered me an appearance fee."
"What? Appearance fee? These days, there are appearance fees for participating in competitions? I've never heard of such a thing before?"
When Bai Yu told him that the organizers had contacted him again and invited him to participate in the competition, Li Shuang thought it was quite normal.
But what's abnormal is that they're paying appearance fees to participate in the competition. Isn't that a bit odd? What kind of organizer pays appearance fees to contestants? Do you think this is an exhibition match, or are you inviting guests?
Believe it or not, Bai Yu really did invite a guest. Given his current status and the fact that the competition is about to begin, the organizers wouldn't invite him to participate as a contestant.
"Absolutely! You don't even know who I am. The organizers invited me to be an award presenter and commentator, and they also gave me a few competition slots. These are internal slots, the kind that don't require registration. Are you interested?"
"Award presenter? Brother Yu, if you're not going to participate, and you want us to participate, do you think we can compete with those fishing enthusiasts? Freshwater fishing isn't our forte."
"Just treat it as a game. The competition isn't long, and the individual competition will only last two days. If you guys go, I'll agree to the organizers' request. If you don't go, it's fine. We can just wander around Zhejiang Province on our own."
"Brother Yu, how much appearance fee did they give you?"
"It's not much, just 100,000 yuan. They will use my name for publicity, and the main payment is for advertising."
"One hundred thousand yuan? That's not a lot, but it's not bad either. Something is better than nothing. How about we go have some fun?"
After talking with Bai Yu and Li Shuang, they also became a little interested in this fishing competition.
They were genuinely interested in the fishing competition, not because of the money. After all, Bai Yu and his team had just earned over two million, so this ten thousand was nothing. Even if the prize money for this competition was as high as one million, it would still be less than half of what they had earned this time.
After Bai Yu and Li Shuang agreed, the remaining people didn't need to say anything more and quickly agreed as well.
However, not everyone will participate in this competition. Bai Yu only arranged for five people to participate: Li Shuang, Wang Hai, Lu Sheng, Ke Ke, and Bai Yue.
The remaining people were spectators and cheerleaders, while Bai Yu was the official commentator.
As soon as Bai Yu agreed to be a guest, the organizers immediately transferred 100,000 yuan to him, fearing that if they were slow, Bai Yu might change his mind again.
After all, the appearance fee offered by the other party was very low for the organizer, but the other party could add Bai Yu's name to the promotion.
It's worth noting that Bai Yu is currently extremely popular. Simply including Bai Yu's name in the caption can significantly increase a video's views.
Not to mention that Bai Yu is appearing as a guest this time, which will definitely bring more attention to this competition.
These organizers only spent 100,000 yuan to accomplish this, which was a real bargain for them.
