In the final moments, the results of each contestant were released one by one, and the final rankings of this fishing competition were about to be revealed.
It's worth mentioning that, although this year's competition was held on a small island, some big fish were still caught.
And it wasn't just the one Bai Yu caught, but four. Of course, the biggest and most valuable one was the sailfish that Bai Yu caught.
The other three giants, each weighing over 100 pounds, were a grouper and two trevally.
Bai Yu's company held a live broadcast at the hotel in the morning. Before 10 o'clock, all the contestants' results were released, and Zhang Yuxin had her hands on the ranking list for all the contestants.
"Brothers and sisters, family members, the results of the second annual fan fishing competition, hosted by Yuxue Shipping Company and Mr. Baiyu, are in! Who is the champion this year, and who will take home the three million yuan prize?"
Do you want to know who will take home such a large prize?
I know you're all anxious, but don't rush. While there are still many people in the live stream, let's do some advertising first.
Hahaha, just kidding. How could I advertise at a time like this? If I did, I'd get yelled at.
Alright, enough chit-chat, let's announce the top ten contestants of this competition.
Not all milk is Terensue, and not all contestants will win the prize money in this competition. Let's welcome the tenth place winner, Shrimp Loves Fishing; the ninth place winner, Chen Dong; the eighth place winner, Air Force Away From Me; and the seventh place winner, Er Mao, to the stage to receive their awards!
This awards ceremony was held on a cruise ship, where they simply set up a small stage on the deck.
The four people whose names were called by Zhang Yuxin walked out from the crowd and onto the stage to receive their awards from the organizers.
The reason for awarding prizes to four contestants at once is that all four of them received the same prize money: 10,000 yuan in cash each.
When the four of them went on stage, Zhang Yuxin reported their results to everyone present and the viewers in the live broadcast room.
They weighed 532.9 jin, 568.8 jin, 571.5 jin, and 623.8 jin respectively.
The person who presented them with the awards was Lu Sheng, the head of the live-streaming sales department of Yuxue Shipping Company.
Following closely behind were four, five, and six people. It's worth mentioning that these four, five, and six people were all acquaintances, and even people Bai Yu knew very well.
Sixth place: Li Shuang; fifth place: Chen Tian (Old Liu's apprentice); fourth place: Wang Hai.
Their scores were 643.5 jin, 655.8 jin, and 657.8 jin respectively.
The prize money for fourth to sixth place is 20,000 yuan each. The original plan was for Li Shuang to present the award, but who could have imagined that Li Shuang would be sixth place? Who presents an award to themselves?
In this situation, Keke stepped in and gave Li Shuang and the other two bonuses, ostensibly as outstanding employees of Yuxue Shipping Company.
Tell me, isn't that outrageous? Having their own employees give bonuses to award-winning contestants—only Bai Yu and his team would do something like that.
But it doesn't really matter, since this competition belongs to their company and isn't a formal, official competition, so there aren't many restrictions in many aspects.
Without pausing, Zhang Yuxin continued to announce the third-place winner, who was an ordinary person and a long-time fan of Bai Yu.
The prize for third place was 500,000 yuan. The award presenter was Li Shuang, who gave the winner a whopping 500,000 yuan in cash. That's a mountain!
As for the third place, there was a significant gap between them and the fourth place, with the third place's weight soaring to over 800 jin (400 kg).
As for Bai Yu's result, he came in second place. When Zhang Yuxin called out Bai Yu's name, Bai Yu was stunned. He really didn't expect that he would be the second place in this competition.
It's not that the result was too good, so good that Bai Yu found it unbelievable, but rather that the result was too bad. Ever since Bai Yu caught that sailfish, he had always regarded himself as the champion of this competition.
But who could have imagined that after the results were announced, Bai Yu would only get second place?
Not to mention Bai Yu herself, the nearly one hundred contestants present, including the hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live broadcast room, were also surprised that the first place in this competition was not Bai Yu.
Some people with conspiracy theories believe that there must be something fishy going on in this competition, since Bai Yu and others, as the organizers, also participated.
In their view, the champion of this competition should be Bai Yu and others, and the prize money is just a matter of passing the money around, with the lion's share going to them.
However, Bai Yu is now in second place, which means that the champion of this competition is someone else.
What? You're saying that Lu Sheng hasn't appeared yet in Bai Yu's group of four? Can't Lu Sheng be number one?
Impossible. Lu Sheng's results have already been released, and he didn't even make it into the top ten.
No matter how much they didn't believe it, since Zhang Yuxin had already announced it, the second place in this competition had been determined. Bai Yu won second place with a score of 995.9 jin.
Wang Hai presented Bai Yu with the award, giving him a cash prize of one million yuan.
That wasn't the end of it. When the results of the first-place competition were announced, Bai Yu almost choked on his breath after hearing the opponent's score.
"Chang Le has won first place in this fishing competition! He caught 996.1 jin (448.5 catties), winning the championship by a margin of two liang (100 grams). Congratulations to champion Chang Le!"
Two ounces? Just two ounces more than him?
Do you think Bai Yu can be happy after hearing this result?
If he were far behind the first place winner, he would accept it, but a difference of only two ounces, less than the difference of a fish, makes him unwilling to accept defeat.
Most importantly, he was the one who awarded the champion's prize; he was going to give the prize money to the contestant who was two ounces ahead of him.
Bai Yu greeted the situation with a broad smile, handing over a large bag of cash to the other party. She also arranged a time with Chang Le for a proper discussion.
If you asked Bai Yu to evaluate Chang Le, he would be a madman with non-standard Mandarin.
They'll do anything for fishing, and the videos they make are very entertaining, while still maintaining their own moral bottom line.
Of course, this moral bottom line can sometimes be flexible and changeable when it comes to fishing. In order to avoid going home empty-handed, he might occasionally take a stroll through the vegetable gardens or orchards of farmers.
As for what the other party wanted to talk to Bai Yu about, it was about the five competition islands. He had some ideas about those five islands.
Bai Yu told the other party that they would discuss this matter after the match.
After awarding the champion and taking a group photo, it was time to present the award to the "King of Fish" in this competition.
The award presenter was also Bai Yu, and Bai Yu was also the one who won the title of Fish King. Then it turned into Bai Yu presenting the award to himself.
Originally, the presenter could have been changed, but Bai Yu was already on stage, so after thinking about it, he decided to present the award to himself before Zhang Yuxin could speak.
As for the king of fish in this competition, it was the sailfish he caught, which weighed 223 pounds.
The prize money for the Fish King is 500,000, which means that Bai Yu won a total of 1.5 million in prize money in this competition!
