For the next period of time, Bai Yu didn't go anywhere. He stayed in Sanya every day, going back and forth between the company and his home.
Occasionally, when he has nothing to do, he'll grab two bottles of beer, buy some cooked food, and then take his grandfather to visit his maternal grandfather for a chat.
Those days were so comfortable that no adjectives could describe them; they were simply blissful.
Of course, his daily life wasn't just about eating, drinking, and having fun; he still had to do his regular training.
Although he has no intention of participating in the competition now, his trip is over, and his previous training should naturally resume.
In addition, he occasionally appears in the company's live broadcast room to chat with netizens and fans, and sell some products to increase the company's revenue.
However, every time he appears in the live broadcast room that day, a large number of netizens ask him why he doesn't go to the Middle East and South Asia anymore, because his global trip is incomplete.
After all, when they set off, Bai Yu and his group claimed that they were going on a round-the-world trip, which meant going to all over the world, or at least visiting a few major regions.
They have now been to North America, South America, the Arctic Circle, the Antarctic Circle, Europe, and Africa. Only the Middle East and South Asia, as well as that one independent continent, remain unvisited.
It's actually quite convenient to go to these three places, since they would pass through these places if they left Africa and wanted to return to the South China Sea.
It's just that going to the Middle East requires a slight detour, but after that, they can travel all the way from the mysterious 'Eastern superpower' to Australia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and finally return home.
In this way, their trip was complete, and they had basically visited all the places they were supposed to go.
It's a pity that after Bai Yu and his group left Africa, they went straight back to China and didn't visit the last few places.
When asked by netizens, Bai Yu and the others all gave the same answer: the Middle East was not peaceful, so they came back.
As for how turbulent things might be, or what might happen, they wouldn't say a word about it.
Most netizens would certainly not accept this answer, after all, Bai Yu and his team have even been to chaotic Africa, and they did so by car, so there's no reason why they wouldn't dare to go to the Middle East.
Moreover, according to news on foreign websites, the entire Middle East appears peaceful and harmonious, with no indication of anything amiss.
Then, in mid-October, an explosive piece of news suddenly broke, shocking everyone at home and abroad.
The conflict between the two major powers (Malaysia and Russia) is not over yet, and now the Middle East is in chaos again.
Upon hearing this news, Bai Yu immediately became a bystander, posting on her personal account: "What can I say? It's not safe outside, it's safer at home. Thank you for protecting us, Mom!"
Bai Yu's side had already received news of this sudden incident, and they also had a target for the two main parties involved. However, the information they had received before was all possible and uncertain.
Even with uncertain news, they still went home immediately, not wanting to take any risks to their personal safety.
Bai Yu originally thought the conflict would escalate further, after all, the conflict between the two families had been going on for decades, not just a day or two, but for a long time.
There have been major conflicts in the past, but communication was not as advanced as it is now, and the power of public opinion was in the hands of certain people, so even if we wanted to know, we could not get any real information.
But things are different now. As the matter has escalated, public opinion is no longer controlled by just one side, and they can no longer cover it up.
Normally, even if such conflicts from abroad generate some buzz in our country, not many people would pay much attention to them.
And it's the kind of thing that disappears in just a couple of days, but this time, for some reason, various platforms have been pushing this event hard, and many bloggers are also digging deep into the ins and outs of this event.
Even Bai Yu, a major influencer and super blogger across the internet, participated in it.
However, Bai Yu's involvement was not in evaluating the conflict, but rather in promoting our own strength and saying how great our family is.
The first time, he praised our military strength. The second time, he went directly to the South China Sea Fleet base in the name of the company and simultaneously filmed a promotional video with the South China Sea side.
He donated money for the third time, and this time the donation was again directed towards the South China Sea, mainly targeting the Philippines.
The latter probably saw that the international situation was a bit chaotic, and this guy also wanted to take this opportunity to stir up some trouble in the South China Sea, so the other side jumped up.
Our family will naturally not tolerate this. Although you may not see any action from our family in the news, Bai Yu and his family know everything clearly.
Furthermore, Bai Yu recently issued an order to all of his company's ships: any Philippine vessels discovered in the South China Sea, whether fishing boats or warships, must be apprehended.
If it's a warship, then call in men. If one fishing boat can't handle it, call in two or three. If there are enough of them, we can still take them down. Anyway, they won't dare to use guns in this area, otherwise the situation would be completely different.
Even without using firearms, every fishing boat in their company is equipped with a high-pressure water cannon, so they're not afraid of a fight.
Don't forget to call the police, the coast guard, and the fleet. This time, we're going to teach them a lesson.
So from mid-October onwards, Bai Yu seemed to be doing nothing at home every day, but in fact he had a lot to do.
Every day, I make all sorts of phone calls, dispatching ships to sea.
What's amazing is that this went on for a month. Their company didn't actually fish properly, but they didn't lose money. In fact, they made almost a small fortune.
A small goal may seem like a lot, but in this month, all seventy-plus ships of their company were deployed. On average, each ship only earned about a million a month, which is really not much money.
As for how this money was earned?
It's very simple. Just get it from the Philippines. Confiscate their illegally entered fishing boats, and make everything on board, including but not limited to the catch and any detachable equipment, their property.
The remaining hull and non-removable parts were handed over to the relevant departments. They made a profit, and then the relevant departments could ask the Filipinos for a ransom.
They made money twice from one ship, inside and out. If they dare to come again, they'll catch them again and repeat all the tricks.
If we don't pay, it's fine. The other party's fishing boat will be ours. Otherwise, do you think the other party can come and go as they please without paying any price?
Sometimes the news you see is just what the relevant departments want you to see. Even if you search the entire internet, you still won't find any news.
Our weakness only existed in the past when we weren't strong. That phase is over now, and we've become strong.
Anyway, the reason why Bai Yu's company dares to be so arrogant in the South China Sea is because our mother is backing them up. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to act like this.
They weren't afraid of the enemy's warships at all. In fact, people in Bai Yu's company were quite hoping that the Philippines would use guns, or even cannons if necessary.
After all, once the other party does that, the nature of the matter will be different, and no one knows what the final outcome will be.
Anyway, back then, when our family fought with the Vietnamese in the South China Sea, only one person from our family was injured, while none of the Vietnamese were injured, although quite a few people went missing.
And our injured one now has stars on his shoulder.
Because of past experience, when Philippine government vessels saw fishing boats belonging to Yuxue Shipping Company, they always assumed that these boats were there to provoke them and to entrap law enforcement.
They absolutely dared not come face to face with these fishing boats, and would run away at the sight of them.
In this situation, should our family stand firm or not? Would a monkey behave this way?
As time passed day by day, the international situation changed dramatically, but the domestic situation remained peaceful and calm.
As we enter December, the Gregorian calendar year 2023 will soon come to an end, and 2024 will be here soon.
Every year at the end of the year is the busiest time for Bai Yu's company.
Even Yuxue Shipping Company, which doesn't usually do much, started organizing events at the end of this year.
However, their company doesn't do those kinds of price-related promotions, like adding a markup and then offering a discount; they don't do that kind of thing.
At most, we'll issue some coupons to existing customers and give away some gifts to them during live streams.
Another even more important thing is that as December approached, Bai Yu's personal social media accounts, as well as the official account of Yuxue Shipping Company, received a large number of messages at the same time.
All these messages were about the same thing: when would today's fan fishing competition be held? They wanted to know in advance so they could ask for leave.
These netizens are there for two reasons: the prize money and the chance to keep all the fish they catch.
The former is much easier to understand; the prize money for each fan fishing competition is very high. The prize money for the first two competitions was five million each.
Participating in a competition to win the five million prize is much easier and has a higher chance of winning five million by simply buying a lottery ticket.
In addition, there are the fish caught while participating in the competition. Each competition lasts for five days, plus the time for departure and return, which is about a week.
However, in just one week, if you're lucky, you can catch fish worth tens of thousands of yuan during the competition, and all of that income belongs to the contestant.
If you're lucky, you might catch a tuna weighing several hundred pounds, and you'll make a fortune!
Of course, whether you're aiming for the prize money or simply to fish and sell the fish, there's one premise:
That means they need to have a spot in this competition and enough time.
However, for those who work, having a seven- or even ten-day vacation is a very rare thing, unless they apply in advance.
Since advance application is required, the specific start time of the competition must be a very important piece of information, and they need to apply for leave based on the start time of the competition.
As a result, as soon as December 1st arrived, Bai Yu and the company's accounts received a large number of messages.
Even on the morning of the 1st, when Bai Yu got up to take Li Xue to work, he was still a little confused when he saw this information.
After all, Bai Yu had no plans for this fourth fan fishing competition yet, and whether or not to hold it was a question. Now these netizens were already asking him about the competition schedule.
Since their fans have already started asking questions, it seems like they have no choice but to hold this competition; otherwise, it wouldn't be good.
After all, this is a fishing competition for fans. The fans have asked, so how can we not hold it?
