Chapter 272: The Eve of the Tournament
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Chen Yuan rode a tricycle and came to the village entrance with Zuo Xianyu and the two referee team leaders Liu Lei and Zhao Hui.

"The president is here?"

After jumping off the tricycle, Zuo Xian looked expectantly at the road ahead.

Liu Lei and Zhao Hui are also looking forward to it.

"Yes, he just called me and said he would be there in a few minutes." Chen Yuan nodded.

It was indeed only a few minutes before I saw several black cars on the road, driving towards this side like a convoy, and stopped steadily at the entrance of Yucheng Village.

When Chen Yuan saw four cars approaching, his eyes widened slightly. He thought that it would be enough to arrange a one-bedroom homestay for the president.

It seems that he took it for granted.

However, with a little thought, you can understand that although the Fishing Sports Association is only a private sports group, the National Fishing Sports Association was established not long ago.

Due to the special national conditions, the first president will be concurrently held by the leader. After CAA is completely on the right track, the next president should be elected by the board of directors, and he will not have an administrative level.

We are still in the first president's era, and it is impossible for a leader of this level to attend alone.

"President Chen?"

After the convoy stopped, the driver of the front car got out first and opened the back door. He then saw a middle-aged man with a square face getting out. When he saw the people at the entrance of the village, his eyes fell on Chen Yuan, who was at the front.

"I am, I am. Are you the president?"

Chen Yuan strode forward with a smile. He felt a little scared when he saw the middle-aged man in front of him who looked intimidating without even getting angry. Even Chen Dong was far inferior to him in terms of leadership aura.

"Hello, President."

Zuo Xianyu and the others also strode forward with smiles on their faces.

The president shook hands with Chen Yuan and the others enthusiastically, then said with a smile, "I'm late because of work. I hope I won't disturb your rest at this time?"

"Haha, the fish pond is bustling right now. President, why don't you stop the car and have a meal first."

Chen Yuan looked at the cars behind and saw six people getting off the cars one after another, including several women.

"No need for food, I just had a box lunch after getting off the plane."

The president smiled and waved his hand, then called a middle-aged woman in the entourage, "Let me introduce you, this is your province's CAA director, Ms. Zhu Ling."

"Hello, President Chen."

Director Zhu Ling extended her hand to greet.

"Hello, hello~" Chen Yuan quickly extended his hand.

The president's introduction was rather tactful, and it was obvious that they were interacting in the capacity of an association, but Director Zhu Ling had another identity, and that was the director of the Provincial Sports Bureau.

This is also a great leader.

I didn't expect her to come too. I guess it's because of the president.

In any case, this is a good thing. The more influential the leaders attending the event, the higher the standard of the event and the greater its influence.

Zuo Xianluo and Zhu Ling have met before. After all, Zuo Xianluo is also a director of CAA, and Zhu Ling assisted in the establishment of the Provincial Fishing Sports Association.

After a handshake, Zhu Ling began to introduce the other accompanying personnel, who were staff from the provincial TV station and were responsible for the recording and broadcasting of the event.

"President Chen, where are you parking the car? Let's park first."

After the introduction, the president spoke.

"Just park outside the B&B. I'll lead the way."

Chen Yuan nodded, then asked everyone to get in the car and go to the homestay first. He rode a tricycle in front to lead the way, and took out the walkie-talkie to call Li Yixiu on the way.

"Aunt Xiu, the one-bedroom homestay is not enough. Please prepare two two-bedroom homes for me. Both have four rooms."

Plans can't keep up with changes.

There were eight of us in the group, and even a two-bedroom homestay wouldn't be enough for us, let alone a one-bedroom one.

Not to mention the issue of leadership status, the difference between men and women makes it difficult to arrange rooms. Considering many factors, the best way is to have one room per person.

"President, Sister Zhu, now there is only two rooms left in the B&B. You guys can stay here. I will arrange for friends from the TV station to stay in the B&B next door."

Before arriving at the B&B, Chen Yuanting greeted the president and others with a three-wheeled greeting.

Since the president has determined the mode of getting along with the association, there is no need to call him/her leader all the time. In informal occasions, there is no harm in being casual as long as it follows the rules.

"The guest follows the host's wishes. President Chen, you can make the arrangements."

The president got off the car with a smile on his face. He was quite surprised to see the style of the homestay in front of him and exclaimed that the current rural landscape is really nice.

Chen Yuan did not dare to take credit for himself. He mentioned the construction of the leisure and tourism resort and also mentioned Chen Dong. Under the leadership of the leaders, the construction will definitely get better and better.

"Boss Chen, the B&B is ready."

Hearing the noise outside, Li Yixiu walked out quickly with a bunch of room cards in her hand.

"Aunt Xiu, please help arrange a room for each of our friends at the TV station."

Chen Yuan said as he took out four room cards.

"it is good."

Li Yixiu glanced at the car behind and agreed, then rode upstairs on her own bike and took the two cars to the B&B next door.

"President, Sister Zhu, would you like to go inside and rest first?"

Chen Yuan took the room card and looked at the president and Zhu Ling.

"it is good."

The two nodded.

Seeing this, their driver immediately started to take the luggage. Chen Yuan wanted to help, but was stopped by Zuo Xian'an, who gestured for Chen Yuan to lead the way and they would take care of the rest.

Chen Yuan thanked his brother, then took the president and Zhu Ling into the B&B.

“This B&B has a nice style.”

After entering the B&B, the president and Zhu Ling looked at the surrounding layout and scenery and couldn't help but praise it.

"The key to B&Bs is the word 'people', which makes people feel at home."

Chen Yuan introduced the B&B. After everyone came in, Chen Yuan handed out the room card. "President, Sister Zhu, in order to ensure the privacy and independence of the B&B, the two floors of the B&B are separated. You need to go up to the second floor from the opposite yard."

The meaning is very simple, who lives on the first floor and who lives on the second floor.

"I'm two years older and I'm too lazy to go up and down. How about I live on the first floor?"

The president looked at Zhu Ling as he spoke.

"Ok."

Zhu Ling had no objection.

"Okay, put down your luggage first and then go to the stadium."

The president walked into the house.

The drivers or assistants of the two took the room card from Chen Yuan and walked quickly to open the door. Chen Yuan motioned Zuo Xian'an to accompany the president, and Chen Yuan took Zhu Ling and the others to the back from the side.

Fortunately, Zhu Ling’s driver assistant is a female, so it is convenient to arrange her on the second floor.

Chen Yuan was sent to the backyard, but did not follow. He just waited in the backyard. During this time, he took the walkie-talkie to call the bus team and asked for a shuttle bus.

After all, the president and his team still had to go to the stadium, so there was no need to drive just a few steps. After all, the road in that section of the village was rather narrow, so a shuttle bus would be most convenient.

A few minutes later, Zhu Ling and the others settled down and went to the front to meet with the president. After waiting for another two minutes, Li Yixiu came over with the people from the TV station.

"Let's go to the stadium and take a look."

The president suggested.

"Okay, let's take the shuttle bus." The shuttle bus had already stopped outside the B&B. After everyone got on the bus, Chen Yuan drove the shuttle bus straight to the fish pond and stopped beside the small pond a few minutes later.

“This business is good.”

Looking at the densely packed anglers in the small pond, the president said with a bit of smile and surprise.

"The sport of fishing is developing rapidly, with more and more anglers joining in. If there is a healthy development plan, this sport will definitely get better and better." Chen Yuan said with a smile.

There is no shortage of people in the sport of fishing.

Not to mention the whole country, in the future, any city can boast of having tens of millions of fishing people. As far as Chong City is concerned, the fishing sport has not yet reached its peak.

There have been many statistics in later generations, whether it is the sales of fishing gear or the number of fishing trips, there are tens of millions of anglers across the country.

And this is only the number of people who fish regularly. If we add in those who fish occasionally, the number would be at least hundreds of millions.

This number cannot be measured accurately, but it is undeniable that there is no shortage of people in the sport of fishing. If there is a healthy and good development policy, this sport will definitely get better and better.

"We all have a responsibility to develop this sport."

When the president heard Chen Yuan's words, his expression became more serious.

"must."

Chen Yuan did not express his opinion with any passionate words, but these two simple words contained his belief and unique skills in developing the sport of fishing.

Zhu Ling, Zuo Xianyi and the others all nodded heavily.

Including Liu Lei and Zhao Hui.

Their position in the sport is equally important.

"Hey, Boss Chen is here to patrol the pond again?"

"Boss Chen, are you ready to release the fish tomorrow?"

"Put more fish in there. We'll be able to make it to the semi-finals tomorrow."

"In fact, it doesn't matter whether there are many or few fish. In a competition, the density is the same and the probability of catching fish is the same. The most important thing is the technique."

"Hehe, it's a little different. The fish density is high. Even if I'm eliminated in the preliminaries, it's still a profit to catch two more fish."

"If you have this idea, you are not far from being eliminated."

When the fishing friends saw Chen Yuan coming, they all greeted him enthusiastically. Some familiar old customers stood up and handed him cigarettes, and also handed one to the president.

The president was a little dazzled by the cigarette, but he quickly came to his senses and took the cigarette.

"You are awesome, kid~"

When Chen Yuan took the cigarette, he praised in a low voice.

Although the president came here as the president of CAA, his administrative level is very scary. If anglers knew his identity, this cigarette would be enough for him to smoke for a long time.

Didn’t you see that even he didn’t dare to pass on a cigarette casually?

"Xiao Chen, are you ready to release the fish?"

Perhaps it was because of the cigarette that made him more down-to-earth, the president even changed the way he addressed Chen Yuan.

"Yes, it's already been prepared. We will release the fish early tomorrow morning. According to the competition requirements, the fish will not be less than 1,000 kilograms per acre."

Chen Yuan responded.

Fishing competitions have requirements for venues, fish conditions, etc.

For example, this time the grand prize points competition is a hand rod competition, and the first requirement for the distance between fishing spots is no less than three meters, which Chen Yuan just meets.

And the opposing distance needs to be at least forty meters.

The other thing is the fish density, which cannot be less than 500 kilograms per acre, which is about a thousand. This is no problem for Chen Yuan.

As for the water depth and the height of the water surface from the shore, these small details are all up to standard in Datang.

Even the competition waters should be unpolluted, fishing should be stopped ten days before the competition, and feeding is not allowed within five days before the competition. Chen Yuan can do all of these.

The only thing that was not done was.

"According to the regulations of the fishing association, the release time of the fish in the competition waters must not be less than 15 days before the official competition. This time we couldn't do it due to time constraints, but we will definitely pay attention to it next time."

The President reminded.

"Don't worry, President. All the fish I have are fresh from the pond." Chen Yuan said with a smile.

Why does the fishing association require the early release of fish?

I understand everything I understand.

After all, in this kind of fishing competition, there are too many ways for the organizers to manipulate the situation. If there is no absolute and strict supervision, there is a possibility of too many tricks.

Especially for such large-scale events, where anglers from all parts of the province compete on the same stage, absolute strength is needed for supervision.

Otherwise, the simplest way is to feed this batch of fish with special bait to develop their taste, which will naturally cause the fish to have a preference. When the competition comes, the bait used to feed them will be used, and the advantages can be imagined.

This is so unfair to the uninformed foreign anglers.

Therefore, releasing fish in advance, exercising strong supervision, banning fishing ten days in advance to prevent anglers from frantically making nests and affecting the fishing spots and fish conditions, and stopping feeding five days in advance can best improve the taste of fish.

Only in this way can the competition be as fair and just as possible.

"How could you find fresh fish from the pond? Looking at the scale of the competition venue, a competition requires at least 25 tons. How could you find so many?"

The president was a little surprised.

"I have a cooperative fish merchant in this pond." Chen Yuan said with a smile.

There are still so many fish catches in the reward space. 25 tons is just the minimum standard line. It’s still far from enough. You can catch all of them.

"I believe you."

The president nodded. Anyone who could plan so many competitions must love fishing and would not destroy his own reputation.

but.

“As I said before, since there are rules for fishing competitions, we must abide by them. If we want to develop this sport, we need not just one or two people to believe in it, but everyone to believe in it.”

The president changed the subject and looked at Chen Yuan seriously, "Xiao Chen, do you understand?"

"clear."

Chen Yuan nodded heavily and said seriously: "President, rest assured, I planned these events. They contain a lot of my hard work and I will definitely not let them go unnoticed."

The president is not making a fuss out of nothing. As he said, it is useless if only one or two people believe in it. Only when everyone believes in it can the sport of fishing be better developed.

To give a simple example, in the 22 years of the previous life, the highly anticipated final of the King's Battle was due to these factors, which led to several people withdrawing from the competition and caused quite a farce.

Therefore, fair and just competition rules are a must for all sports.

Otherwise, let alone becoming an authority, you will just become a joke.

"Well, you are the organizer of the event. You have perfected many of the rules and details of the fishing association. You must do these details well to convince people."

The president spoke meaningfully, as if there was something else behind his words.

Zhu Ling next to him instantly understood the meaning and couldn't help but look at Chen Yuan again.

The president wants to train Chen Yuan.

"I will never let the president down."

Chen Yuan also understood the meaning behind the words. It would be a lie to say he wasn't excited, but he knew that this day was still far away and the road was still long.

The group walked slowly around the big pond, during which the president talked a lot, including some small details about the competition venue and some ideas on the development of fishing sports.

Chen Yuan and his friends accompanied them all the way, listening and taking notes patiently.
