Chapter 410 Hawaii Island



As for Bai Yu, he only had a superficial understanding of what was happening online, and didn't know much about it.

After all, he was still at sea. After handing over the three newly intercepted fishing boats to the coast guard, Bai Yu and his group left with the other three fishing boats.

All the necessary procedures were completed. The fishing boat was handed over to the coast guard, the evidence was submitted, and the 5901 vessel had been thoroughly inspected.

Next, these fishing boats should get down to business and start catching shrimp.

Compared to the other three fishing boats, Bai Yu's Yu Xue was headed to Hawaii.

Even while they are fishing, their fishing boats must remain on the course heading towards Hawaii.

So a day later, Bai Yu and his crew parted ways with the other three fishing boats. Their boat continued towards Hawaii, while the other three remained in the South China Sea to continue their fishing operations.

When you are on the vast ocean, without the guidance of an instrument panel, you cannot tell where you are.

Especially since the sea they are currently in is tropical and not too far from the equator, they can only identify the cardinal directions by the sun in the morning and afternoon. They cannot identify them at noon, let alone anything else.

To be honest, if it weren't for all the advanced equipment available today, most people, without sufficient experience, wouldn't dare to sail a ship on a long-distance ocean voyage.

"Xiaoyu, Mr. Li has called you several times already, why haven't you uploaded the video yet? It's not really appropriate for Mr. Li to keep calling and urging you, is it?"

In the captain's cabin of the Yuxue, the eldest uncle asked Bai Yu why she hadn't uploaded the video.

After all, it's already the 28th, more than ten days have passed since the last incident of seizing the Philippine monkey boat, and a very long time has passed since the "to be continued" message in his latest video.

There are countless netizens and Bai Yu's fans online who want to know what the outcome will be, how the process will unfold, and whether our people have suffered any losses.

However, Bai Yu hasn't updated his account since he posted one video. Not only is there no more content to be continued, but his personal account is also in a state of inactivity.

If Bai Yu hadn't explained her account status in her account profile, those netizens who love to speculate would have definitely spread rumors about her.

For example, if Bai Yu is arrested, as for who arrested him, it could be our law enforcement agencies, or it could be someone who lost the naval battle to the Philippines and was arrested by them.

Anyway, the cost of spreading rumors is not high now, and they can also use some technical means to make it impossible for the relevant departments to find the person spreading the rumors, even if they want to investigate him in the end.

Just when it seemed like a storm of rumors was about to break out online, Bai Yu changed his profile, and all the rumors immediately disappeared.

Because Bai Yu has already made the issue clear: he has been banned from speaking!

Indeed, after Bai Yu posted a video on Douyin (TikTok) of himself beating up a Philippine fishing boat, he was banned from posting for seven days because the content he posted was intended to sow discord between the two sides and had a significant impact.

Some people might ask, wasn't the ban only for seven days? More than ten days have passed, so why hasn't Bai Yu posted the follow-up content yet?

The answer is quite simple: Bai Yu does not accept the punishment imposed on him by Douyin. The video he posted is clearly true, so how can it be considered as sowing discord between the two sides?

These days, you can't even speak the truth?

Moreover, the video posted by Bai Yu was officially verified; the official accounts of the Coast Guard and the Southeast Sea Fleet both gave it a thumbs up.

And it's not just these few official accounts; on Douyin and Kuaishou, any official or self-media account related to the military has liked his post. Even many CCTV accounts have liked it.

How can a video that has been verified by multiple official accounts be accused of sowing discord between the two sides?

Before accusing Bai Yu of sowing discord, why can't we consider who started this whole thing?

Did Bai Yu instigate this?

Obviously not. Their company's fishing boats were simply protecting their own legal rights. It was the Filipino fishing boats that illegally fished across the border first. If the other party hadn't broken the law, why would there be this video?

So Bai Yu was dissatisfied, and what was most frustrating was that when Bai Yu appealed to Douyin's official platform, they actually told him that if it weren't for so many official accounts liking his video, they originally intended to take it down.

Good heavens, what the hell is this saying?

If it weren't for the fact that an official account liked his video, would they have taken it down?

Did his videos violate any rules? Which laws did they break? Why were they taken down? Just because Douyin is their platform, can they take them down whenever they want?

If Bai Yu remembers correctly, as long as publicly released videos do not violate relevant laws and regulations or platform rules, the platform cannot remove them without authorization.

Strictly speaking, Bai Yu's video did not violate any rules; otherwise, those official accounts would not have liked it.

Then Bai Yu was angered by Douyin's official explanation and directly revealed the reason for his hiatus. He also announced that if Douyin did not give him a reasonable explanation, he would leave the Douyin platform, including his company's live-streaming e-commerce platform.

Then he stopped updating, and the company's account also stopped broadcasting. Li Shuang and others were on the phone with the official Kuaishou team to discuss cooperation.

When Li Shuang called Bai Yu to urge him to update the video, it was to ask Bai Yu to update the unfinished video on Kuaishou and bring a wave of traffic to their company's entry into Kuaishou.

Well, Bai Yu was only banned on Douyin, but Kuaishou showed no intention of banning her at all, and even gave her videos a boost.

The official statement regarding Bai Yu's withdrawal from the Douyin platform is completely ignored, or rather, the people in charge at Douyin don't care, and it's useless for those below to care.

From their perspective, even if Bai Yu is the number one individual account holder on Douyin, so what? His own account neither broadcasts live, accepts advertisements, nor opens a product showcase to sell goods, so it cannot bring any benefits to their platform at all.

The only thing that can still bring revenue to their company is their live-streaming e-commerce platform, from which they can earn a small platform fee.

As for the live-streaming e-commerce platform, since Bai Yu and his team withdrew, naturally other companies or online platforms will fill the gap.

In their view, the companies and individuals selling products are not important; the most important thing is the Douyin platform. As long as the platform continues to exist, they will not have to worry about so-called big or top streamers.

So Douyin officials didn't even acknowledge Bai Yu's statement and just went about their business as usual.

"Uncle, don't worry. It's only been five days since our company issued the statement. There are still two days left. If Douyin doesn't give us an explanation after these two days, I'll just upload the video to Kuaishou."

"Uncle, where are we now? How far are we from Hawaii?"

"It'll be soon. We'll be in Hawaii in just over a day."

Xiaoyu, are you really sure you want to break ties with Douyin? Douyin is the biggest short video platform in China right now. Won't this affect our company?

Uncle couldn't understand Bai Yu's actions. After all, their company had always been doing live-streaming e-commerce on Douyin, and their main business was on Douyin. Was it really worthwhile to suddenly leave Douyin and go to Kuaishou?

Of course, it doesn't really matter to my uncle which platform the company uses for live-streaming sales, since he's just the captain of the fishing boat and his salary and bonuses are tied to the boat's performance.

The success of the company's live-streaming sales has absolutely nothing to do with his uncle. The only connection is that Bai Yu is his nephew, and he can't bear to see his nephew suffer.

"Uncle, don't worry. Even if our company suffers losses, they won't be significant. When we really have to leave Douyin, the one who should be most worried about the losses won't be us, but Douyin."

The biggest short video platform you watch now is Douyin, but don't forget that your nephew still has hundreds of millions of followers online, no matter what.

After I leave Douyin, I dare not say much else, but if I can take just one percent of my followers to Kuaishou, that will be enough to give Douyin a hard time.

What's more, I've prepared some bombshells. I don't believe I can't seduce other fans, but I can certainly seduce the smokers among my fans.

This time, I'm going to make these platforms understand one thing: they may have powerful platforms, but that doesn't mean they're the boss. Without us bloggers, what good are their powerful platforms?

I'll still make them regret it! Even if I don't completely destroy them this time, I'll make them suffer a great deal.

This isn't just something Bai Yu made up. With his current number of fans and influence, if he really wanted to switch to another platform, especially if he was in the wrong on his original platform, he could really make Douyin (TikTok) feel the pinch.

Putting everything else aside, just look at the commission that Bai Yu's company takes from the sales revenue generated by her livestreaming sales. You can imagine how much the platform will suffer after Bai Yu and her team leave.

Take their company's sales revenue from live-streaming sales last year as an example. The total sales revenue was over 20 billion yuan, and the platform took a 5% cut.

Over the course of a year, the platform did almost nothing; it simply provided a platform for selling products, yet they still received over a billion yuan in revenue.

When the platform didn't give Bai Yu a reply, Bai Yu thought that Douyin was too arrogant to care about 1 billion yuan.

That's why Bai Yu was prepared to go head-to-head with the other party and see who would suffer in the end. Anyway, he still had plenty of tricks up his sleeve.

After another day or so, the fishing boat Yuxue finally arrived in Hawaii on the 30th.

Paying dues to the Hawaiian Fisheries Association makes all the difference. Even though the Yuxue fishing boat flies our flag, they can still move freely here without anyone driving them away.

This alone is enough to illustrate one point: although the system in Great Pyongyang has many unreasonable aspects, it's really good to have money here; with money, you can travel all over Great Pyongyang!
