The fourth annual fan fishing competition is about to begin, and Bai Yu has finished all his work before the competition starts.
There were a total of 502 participants in this competition. The two extra people were Bai Yu and Wang Hai. They were the organizers of the competition and could get in through connections.
Apart from that, there were no more internal slots for this competition, and neither Li Shuang nor Lu Sheng participated in this year's fan competition.
Although they don't participate in the competition, they won't be idle either; there will still be things for them to do.
At the very least, they can act as hosts, commentators, or even sell products during the live broadcast.
The process for this competition is the same as previous competitions, and it will be broadcast live.
At the same time, their live broadcast this time was even better. The same live broadcast room could have multiple split shots and frequency divisions to explain the process of this competition in detail.
For the broadcasting team alone, Li Shuang found two teams, with a total of more than 100 people working together to handle the broadcasting matters.
If they spend a lot of money on broadcasting, they will naturally have to find a way to recoup some of the costs, otherwise their company would be working for nothing.
Besides, the live stream channel for this competition is the official account of Yuxue Shipping Company, which is usually responsible for selling goods and making money. Now they're broadcasting the competition proceedings...
It's normal to sell some products that people can use during this process, and you can also give out some benefits, such as vouchers, physical goods or cash. You can make a lot of money back from traffic revenue.
Given the immense popularity of the fishing contest organized by her company and her brother, Bai Yue had already started looking for advertisers three days before the contest began.
Make sure you understand that they are looking for advertisers, not sponsors. All the expenses for this competition were covered by Baiyu and Yuxue Shipping Company. Fan competitions don't need to find sponsors.
However, with such a popular and high-profile competition, it's still possible to find a few advertisers to run ads for other brands during the competition and earn some advertising fees.
As the saying goes, the most ruthless and vicious people are always those who know you best and are closest to you.
Bai Yue didn't know who she learned from, but the first advertiser she contacted was her father. The price she quoted him was particularly high, two million for advertising during the competition.
In just seven days, she dared to ask her father for two million yuan in advertising fees, and she even claimed it was a discounted price.
The key point is the relationship between Yuxue Seafood Processing Plant and Yuxue Shipping Company. They are products of the same company, and they are also the main products sold in this competition. Bai Yue even needs to ask her father for advertising fees.
The problem is that Mr. Bai actually did pay. He not only paid two million for advertising, but he also covered all the bait needed for the competition, with the processing plant providing all the bait.
Upon hearing the result, Bai Yu shook his head helplessly, but he didn't say anything more.
......
Two days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was December 24th, the official start date of the 4th Fan Fishing Competition.
That noon, after having lunch at home, Bai Yu said goodbye to his mother and then left by car.
Bai Yu was going to the ship for a competition today, so he didn't drive to the dock. He and Wang Hai went to the company in Bai Yue's car.
It's still too early. Even if we went to the pier, we'd just be waiting there or on a fishing boat, which would be incredibly boring.
So Bai Yu planned to go to the company first to meet the contestants who came to participate in this competition, or rather, to meet his fans, and also to give them some perks.
This is a hidden perk that has not been made public.
It didn't take long for Bai Yu and Wang Hai to reach the square in front of the company.
By this time, a large number of people had gathered in the square, including men and women, young and old.
The younger ones are still being held in their parents' arms, while the older ones have already turned completely white-haired, but they still look to be in very good spirits.
However, that's not the point. The point is that this white-haired old man was carrying a fishing tackle bag. The reason Bai Yu could recognize it as a fishing tackle bag was because the old man was carrying a fishing tackle bag he co-branded with Anta, signed by himself.
These are truly handwritten signatures; every bag has his signature, and each one is different.
An elderly man with a full head of white hair arrived at the company entrance at this time, carrying a signed fishing tackle bag.
Could this guy be a contestant? This old man is a contestant?
Upon realizing this, Bai Yu felt a chill run down her spine. Could this really be true? Could this old man really make it to the open sea for a week?
Bai Yu took this situation quite seriously, since the main purpose of the fan fishing competition he organized was to give fans benefits and bring them joy.
It wouldn't be good if something went wrong in the end.
Bai Yu then led Wang Hai directly over to the old man, and approached him while he was taking pictures, whispering, "..."
"Old man, do you know me? Would you mind chatting for a bit?"
That's what makes it straightforward and direct; they just come up and ask if you know them.
It's not fair to say Bai Yu is overly narcissistic; the main issue is that the old man was carrying a fishing tackle bag with Bai Yu's signature, so his question didn't seem unreasonable.
After all, if you don't know him, you wouldn't use his autographed fishing tackle bag, would you?
In fact, Bai Yu's idea was not wrong. After hearing the sound, the old man also turned around and looked back.
After seeing Bai Yu's appearance clearly, the old man calmly asked, "Bai Yu?"
"Yes, it's me. The old man still recognizes me. It's my honor."
"Are you dressed like this for the fan fishing competition? Did you get a spot?"
"Got it, Bai Yu, you're a great young man. I often watch your matches and I enjoy watching your videos. You really are something else."
After Bai Yu chatted with the old man, the old man held Bai Yu's hand and wouldn't let go, praising him incessantly.
Bai Yu blushed with embarrassment at the praise. He was unaware of his own excellence and even began to doubt whether he was truly as good as the old man described.
After some communication, Bai Yu learned that the old man was seventy-two years old and had indeed come to participate in the fishing competition.
Of his group of veteran anglers, he was the only one to secure a spot in this competition. This wasn't his first time fishing at sea, and to allay Bai Yu's concerns, he brought his latest medical examination report with him.
If we only look at the medical examination report, the old man's report is much better than that of many young people, and he is healthier than many young people.
Having seen the medical examination report, Bai Yu could feel a little more at ease, since they also had medical personnel accompanying them for this competition.
As long as the old man is in good health, even if some minor problems arise, they can be resolved. The real concern is that there might be some difficult-to-treat age-related illnesses.
After talking with the old man, Bai Yu asked him some questions, some things that only fans would know or understand.
"Old man, since you say you're my fan, may I ask which aspect of me you're a fan of?"
"I like fishing, and I also enjoy watching your fishing videos."
"Okay, may I ask you a few questions? What species is the biggest sea fish I caught?"
"The Atlantic bluefin tuna weighs over 1,100 pounds. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to catch it."
"Grandpa, let's just answer the questions directly, that will save some time."
I placed [number] in the last International Tuna Fishing Championship.
"First place."
"What was the name of my first fishing boat?"
"Yuxue..."
