As the live stream ended, Bai Yu and Wang Hai went home with Bai's father. Their houses were next to each other, so it was only natural that they would go home together since it was on the same route.
Although the live broadcast has ended, the work for Yuxue Shipping Company is far from over.
The most crucial point is shipping the goods the next day; that alone will keep them very busy.
Their sales tonight, just three hours in, amounted to over 20 million yuan, while the average price of the products they sold was only 80 or 90 yuan.
At that price, they sold over 200,000 orders in one night, which is a very large number.
This shows that the company's employees will be extremely busy in the next few days, to the point where they won't have time to breathe.
Fortunately, Bai Yu is the boss, so he doesn't have to participate in these tasks. Otherwise, what's the point of being a boss if he has to do everything himself?
Just as Bai Yu was pondering what to do next, his Douyin account received a private message from another influential figure.
Li Xue told him about this. Because Bai Yu often went to sea, Li Xue had his account information so that he wouldn't miss any important things. She could see his account backend.
According to Li Xue, the person who sent him the private message was a fishing blogger on Douyin, and the biggest one at that, a big influencer with the title of "chief fishing instructor".
The private message sent to Bai Yu was an invitation to participate in a fishing competition organized by the fishing tackle brand to which Bai Yu belonged.
According to the other party, this competition is co-organized with Douyin (TikTok) and will be broadcast live on Douyin.
To be honest, Bai Yu was a little confused by the invitation.
To be honest, although Bai Yu also fishes, he used to fish at sea. Every time he went out to sea to fish, he would fish at the seaside and catch sea fish.
The event they were organizing was for freshwater fishing, which seemed to be outside his area of expertise. Logically, he shouldn't have been invited to participate in this kind of competition.
Unless the other party is organizing a sea fishing competition, they would not have approached him.
However, since the other party had approached him, Bai Yu accepted the invitation after some consideration.
Bai Yu hasn't had much to do lately, so participating in a fishing competition would be a good option. He could also try to see if his luck stat would be useful when fishing for freshwater fish.
You know, he hasn't fished for freshwater fish even once in all these years since he got Tongzi Ge, so he really doesn't know if luck stats are useful.
The other party's competition will be held in a week, starting on the 25th and lasting for three days. The fishing rules are to determine the winner based on the number of fish caught.
After accepting the invitation, Bai Yu also helped Wang Hai get a spot in the competition. He planned to take Wang Hai with him to the competition on the 25th.
As the days went by, even though Bai Yu didn't want to be busy, he inevitably did some work for a few days, and then did some rehabilitation training for a few days.
On the 24th, he set off a day early for the fishing competition.
The venue for this competition was a fishing pond in Hubei Province.
Moreover, this competition was quite large in scale, with most of the well-known masters in the fishing circle and famous fishing bloggers on the internet participating.
They even set up a red carpet at the beginning of the event, which all the contestants were allowed to walk on.
Bai Yu arrived a day early because the other party mentioned there would be an opening ceremony, but to his surprise, the opening ceremony turned out to be a red carpet event.
For some people who want fame and attention, this kind of occasion might be very appealing.
But for Bai Yu, he doesn't need any traffic; in fact, wherever he goes, he brings his own traffic.
However, since the invitation has already been accepted, there are certain things that must be done according to the organizer's requirements. This is not only a matter of respecting the organizer, but also a matter of respecting oneself.
As the person with the most followers on Douyin, when Bai Yu appeared, everyone, whether it was the many fishing contestants at the scene or the viewers in the live broadcast room, was stunned for a moment.
Because in these people's minds, Bai Yu was not someone who fished for freshwater fish, but he still came to participate in this competition.
Furthermore, walking the red carpet with him was Deng Gang, the head of Tianyuan Fishing Association and the chief coach of the fishing association. It can be said that Bai Yu was given the highest level of respect and prestige.
It was also because of Bai Yu's appearance that the number of viewers in Tianyuan's live broadcast room soared to six figures and is still rising. 100,000 is just the beginning, not the end.
In order to participate in this competition, Bai Yu also posted an announcement on his account, saying that he would participate in this fishing competition, which can be regarded as a way of generating buzz for the competition.
Because of this, after the opening, a topic emerged on Douyin: the most popular and trending sport on Douyin is fishing.
The topic was so popular that it garnered over 100 million views in just one day, and the buzz continues to rise.
This is not an impact that Bai Yu alone can cause. Although he does have a lot of fans, it's not just fishermen who follow him; there are also many beachcombing fans and sports fans.
So, aside from bringing some traffic to the live stream on the opening day, Bai Yu actually benefited from the fishing competition for the rest of the time, which also helped him gain a small number of fans.
Sometimes you really have to admit, there are so many fishing enthusiasts in China, especially the organizers of this event; they were truly brilliant, their strategy was excellent.
For this competition, we basically invited all the most active bloggers with a large number of followers to participate.
This blogger isn't limited to just Douyin; he's a phishing blogger across all platforms, even bringing in bloggers from competitors like Kuaishou and Xigua.
As far as Bai Yu knows, among the fishing bloggers who came this time, at least five have more than ten million followers, not including himself.
These bloggers have at least hundreds of millions of followers, which is why they have such a high level of popularity.
After witnessing this grand occasion, Bai Yu also had a brief chat with the organizers.
The main topic of their conversation was discussing techniques for fishing freshwater fish. After all, neither Bai Yu nor Wang Hai had ever fished for freshwater fish before, and he was afraid he would embarrass himself if he didn't ask them.
It was because of this question that Lao Deng discovered a problem: the fishing expert he had imagined was actually a complete novice at fishing for freshwater fish.
Bai Yu can't be said to know nothing; he's basically only half-understanding.
If you ask him about sea fishing techniques, Bai Yu can talk about them in great detail, explaining which fish to catch, where to fish, and where to find specific fish.
Bai Yu knows exactly what kind of reaction each fish will have after taking the bait, and how much force a fish of a certain size can provide.
However, if you talk about freshwater fish, and you put a carp and a crucian carp of average size together, he might not be able to tell the two kinds of fish apart.
After all, as a fisherman who grew up by the sea, he has only ever eaten saltwater fish. In the past twenty years, he can count the number of freshwater fish he has eaten, especially bony fish, on two hands. How could you expect him to distinguish between different types of fish?
All I can say is that you're making things too difficult for him. Bai Yu can only tell you that he can't do it!
That's why, after the opening ceremony, when they had dinner that evening, Lao Deng specially sat down at a table with Bai Yu and talked to him about some techniques for catching freshwater fish.
This includes the selection of fishing rods, fishing lines and hooks, and the preparation of bait.
After considering what Lao Deng said and combining it with the fishing videos Bai Yu had watched, it was up to him to figure it out for himself.
Fortunately, apart from having no practical experience, Bai Yu felt incredibly strong after Lao Deng taught him the techniques, and he had memorized all the fishing skills.
He's just waiting for the competition to start so he can show off his skills and let the world see his invincible strength!
In order to participate in this competition, Bai Yu spent a lot of money to buy two sets of fishing equipment, which were the brand of fishing gear provided by the competition organizer.
This fishing gear set has everything imaginable. Bai Yu bought one of everything that falls within the range of hand rods, his main goal being to have what everyone else has.
As for lure rods and sea rods, there's no need to buy them. After all, he already owns one, and it's the only one of its kind in the world, a fishing rod produced by Tongzi Ge.
After the banquet arranged by the organizers, Bai Yu and his group checked into a guesthouse arranged by the organizers, with Bai Yu and Wang Hai sharing a room.
Forget about staying in a hotel, because the competition venue, Heikeng, is quite remote and there are no hotels there. The only accommodations are guesthouses run by nearby villagers.
For most anglers, where they live isn't a big deal; the most important thing is that they can catch fish.
