Bai Yu didn't actually intend to pay any attention to the matter of Douyin officials contacting him.
Given his current popularity, to put it bluntly, it doesn't matter where he promotes products or makes money.
As long as the products their company sells are of good enough quality, don't have any mishaps or quality problems, then they'll always be fine.
Moreover, Bai Yu's company is also a consumer platform. Even if the products they promote fail, as long as the problem doesn't lie with their factory's products, their legal team will help consumers protect their rights.
Furthermore, their company has now formed a temporary inspection team, which will conduct random on-site inspections of anyone who has cooperated with the company in selling products.
When to go and which company to go to are all temporary, and the company being inspected cannot refuse. If they refuse, their cooperation will basically come to an end.
The most crucial point is that their random inspections are conducted live. During the live-streaming sales event, the company's inspection team will randomly select a partner for inspection. This partner may or may not be the brand involved in the live-streaming sales event; both are possible.
In addition to ensuring that the inspection team and the brand owners do not collude to commit fraud, the company's inspection team members are also legally responsible, in addition to receiving high salaries.
Because of their actions, the overall sales environment on Douyin was very good when they were live streaming on Douyin before, and the quality of the products was guaranteed.
After all, their company is a top-tier live-streaming sales account on Douyin. How they sell products will be imitated by other live-streamers, both big and small.
Whether the livestreamers like it or not, they will still take some basic measures to ensure that the quality of the products they sell is not bad.
Now that Bai Yu and his team have switched platforms, the Douyin (TikTok) streamers are overjoyed. Ever since their company announced the suspension of broadcasting, all sorts of weirdos have emerged, and the products they sell have become inconsistent in quality.
On the other hand, after Bai Yu and his team joined Kuaishou, the quality of the goods sold in some of their live streams improved dramatically, especially the top streamers, who became much stricter with their product selection.
Even if there are some defective products, they will be mentioned during the live broadcast.
For example, when selling three-piece or four-piece bedding sets, defective products might have messy patterns or lots of loose threads.
Overall, the impact isn't too significant, but it's a defective product, and the price is lower than the normal price. In the past, they would have sold it as a genuine product, but now with Bai Yu and his team joining, defective products must remain defective.
Otherwise, you'll just have to wait for Bai Yu and his gang to take your family away.
As a result, with the arrival of Bai Yu and others, the overall atmosphere of live-streaming e-commerce on the Kuaishou platform has improved significantly.
To express their gratitude to Yuxue Company, the Kuaishou platform is now preparing to discuss lowering the point value with Li Shuang and his team.
For a platform to proactively approach a live-streaming e-commerce company to discuss lowering prices is unprecedented in the entire history of live-streaming e-commerce.
Moreover, the commission that Kuaishou charges their company for promoting products is not high to begin with, at the lowest rate in the industry, five percent. Most importantly, this money is not paid by Yuxue Company, but by the brand.
Meanwhile, when Kuaishou negotiated with Li Shuang and his team to lower the commission rates, it was clear that they intended to give the lowered rates to their company in exchange for Yuxue Company's permanent presence on the Kuaishou platform.
Based on Yuxue Company's performance on the Douyin platform last year, if this figure drops by one percentage point, that would mean a revenue of 200 million yuan.
Do you think Bai Yu would pay any attention to Douyin's official channels when faced with such a generous offer of money?
If they can do it on the first day of the month, Bai Yu can do it on the fifteenth.
In the following days, no matter who came to Bai Yu to relay a message from Douyin, Bai Yu always gave the same reply: "We're even."
Meanwhile, Bai Yu updates his life on the Kuaishou platform every day. His previous beachcombing, bonfire parties, and later diving and beautiful Hawaiian scenery were all posted on Kuaishou, while his Douyin account has fallen silent.
After his dive, Bai Yu officially entered training mode. His competition in Hawaii was about to begin, and he needed to adjust his condition.
A few days later, Bai Yu, in the spirit of a champion, launched his assault on the 2022 track and field events.
Even though it was just a regional championship, the Kuaishou platform still heavily promoted Bai Yu's victory, so much so that it propelled her to the top of Weibo's trending topics.
As for Douyin, the popularity is slightly lower. After all, Bai Yu no longer posts on this platform, several of her top streamers with tens of millions of followers have left, and there are not many editing accounts left, so the popularity will naturally decline.
Although the trending topic has dropped, Bai Yu's name is still on Douyin's trending searches, though it has only made it into the top ten.
After the track and field competition ended, Bai Yu relaxed for a day and then posted a video on his account, showing that Yuxue Shipping Company had registered to participate in the 2022 International Tuna Fishing Competition.
This competition has been held for decades, and Chinese people have participated in it before, but our best result was only sixth place, and we never even made it into the top five.
Over time, no one from our country came to participate in the competition anymore.
Participating in this competition requires a significant investment of time and money, and the competition lasts for a week.
If our domestic athletes want to compete in Hawaii, they need to rent a boat locally. To rent a decent fishing boat or dinghy, the rental fee will be at least ten thousand US dollars or even higher.
Then, this competition is a team competition, with four people per team. Fishing gear, safety at sea, living supplies, and even bait all cost money, and it's all in US dollars.
As for the tuna caught during the competition, in the past, it did not belong to the individual, but to the organizer, namely the Hawaii Fisheries Association.
The contestants are getting prize money; if they don't get a good ranking, it's a huge loss.
As a result, fewer and fewer people came to participate in the competition until the rules were changed: the tuna caught by the contestants would belong to the contestants, but the contestants would have to pay an entry fee.
There used to be registration fees, but they weren't as high as they are now. Now, the registration fee alone is $10,000 per person, and a team of one to four people can have a registration fee ranging from $10,000 to $40,000, which is quite flexible.
At the end of the video posted by Bai Yu, there was also a picture of the members of their fishing boat shipping company: Hai Da F4!
That's right, it's Bai Yu, Wang Hai, Li Shuang, and Lu Sheng!
The four of them are going to participate in this year's tuna fishing competition and try to win the one million dollars that belongs to the champion!
The winner of each track wins one million. There are two tracks in this competition, as well as a hidden bonus.
The two tracks are for the number of tuna and the total weight of tuna, with a hidden bonus: the prize money for winning both tracks is doubled, and the tuna king receives a separate prize of $500,000.
The total prize money for this fishing competition alone in Hawaii is as high as five million US dollars. If you add the double prize money for the double champion, that's seven million US dollars.
The reason this competition is so large-scale is that it involves not only the fishing association but also the casino.
As is widely known, Las Vegas is located in the Great Beauty area, a place where people make a living by gambling and where you can gamble on anything.
Tuna fishing competitions have been held for decades and are open to anglers from all over the world. So it's not unreasonable for betting companies to get involved, right?
After Bai Yu finished his track and field competition, he talked to Snake about the fishing competition.
Snake is a native Hawaiian, and most of the residents of his town are practically Hawaiians, so they are very familiar with the competition.
Even their town has teams participating in this competition. This year, four local burly men formed the Seaside Town team to participate in the competition.
During his conversation with Snake, he also learned that their town had once been glorious, having achieved second place in a fishing competition.
However, since a competition at the end of the last century, when the weather at sea was not very good, several teams have encountered accidents.
Their team in the seaside town also suffered an accident, with two team members dying and two seriously injured, and then their town fell into decline.
Although Bai Yu enjoyed listening to their glorious past, he was more interested in knowing who their strongest opponents were this time.
Bai Yu quickly got the answer from Snake: they had to take five teams seriously in this competition, four of which were local teams and one was from Peru.
The most important teams are these four local teams, two of which are backed by the local fisheries association. It is said that they receive a map of the tuna distribution area in the competition zone before the competition.
Snake told him this, but whether it's true or not, Bai Yu has no way of knowing.
The other two teams, although there was no word of a fisheries association behind them, are both local veteran tuna hunters.
They have a good grasp of the distribution of tuna in the waters around Hawaii, and where tuna might be found.
For teams from other regions like Baiyu, this is where the locals have an advantage. They are fighting on home turf, so there's nothing you can do about it.
Aside from these four local teams, the Peruvian team is just good at fishing.
Despite being an outside team, they seemed to have a very clear understanding of the waters around Hawaii, and often managed to dominate many players in every match.
He even won several fishing competitions before, which is just ridiculous.
Apart from these five teams, Bai Yu doesn't need to worry too much about the other teams, because many of them aren't there for the prize money, but for the tuna.
Since the competition rules were changed, allowing all tuna caught to be kept by the angler, many anglers have seen the possibility of getting rich.
Although participating in the competition incurs costs—around $80,000 for four people to register—they can earn that money back if they can catch a few more tuna here.
Selling bluefin tuna to the Chinese, in particular, is an extremely profitable business. You only need five to eight tuna weighing over 200 pounds each to break even on a $80,000 order.
Is this price expensive?
Although they're not exactly cheap, if any Chinese people could ship these tuna back home, they could definitely make money.
Catching five to eight bluefin tuna in a week is not difficult for the participating teams; with some effort, it's achievable.
And if you catch enough tuna to win a prize, you'll be even richer.
This is why every year, fishing enthusiasts who want to get rich form teams and come to participate in the competition.
In fact, in the eyes of others, Bai Yu and his group of four were the same, after all, it was their first time participating in such a competition.
The four fishermen were completely unknown. Not only were they not professional anglers, but they also used different fishing gear, making them clearly an amateur team.
A true fishing master not only needs to be a professional angler, but also needs sponsorship from fishing tackle brands. After all, only with sponsorship can you show that someone recognizes your skills.
Bai Yu and his three companions were just slackers. If it weren't for Yuxue Shipping Company paying money to the Fisheries Association every year, they might not even be able to participate in this kind of competition.
This can also be seen from the odds offered by the betting companies; the odds for the favorites to win the championship are as low as 1 to 9.
However, Bai Yu's team started with a bet of 114, and that was for a single championship. If they won both championships, the odds would be even more outrageous, at 289.
To Bai Yu's surprise, when Snake showed them the betting website, the total betting amount under their team's account was not zero.
It's $100, and $100 for each track, totaling $300.
