The fishing ground I opened has become a national leisure destination

Chapter 395 Heading to the provincial capital
"We have to go back first and come here later. Anyway, the provincial capital is not far from Chong City and it won't delay the event." Wang Heng shook his head.

Long Jiawen is the only one in the milk tea shop, and he might not be able to handle the rush hour after school. He should go back and finish his work first, and it won't be too late to meet up later.

"I'm with Lao Wang and the others." Xu Bai said.

"I'll follow the master." Huangmao was more direct.

"Okay, then we'll go over and settle down first, and you guys come over to contact us." Chen Yuan nodded. Dongfang Qingyang had a car anyway, so it would be okay for the four of them to come later.

"We have to go back to the unit first. Our leader will make the arrangements and there's no need to plan for us." Employees from TV stations, media magazines, etc. waved to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan understood.

He does not need to be directly responsible for the promotion of the provincial finals of the championship. Zuo Xianwei and Zhu Ling will make the arrangements, which makes it easier for him.

"I am the only one in our referee group who received an invitation." The chief referee shrugged.

The provincial association has a referee team. Liu Lei and Zhao Hui are fully qualified both in terms of tournament officiating experience and their own refereeing level, so there is naturally no need to transfer referees from Chong City.

But for the sake of fairness, each fishing association and competition area will summon a referee to preside over the competition, basically the chief referee of each competition area.

"Okay, we'll go there together later." Chen Yuan said.

After confirming the number of people, he asked about the vehicle situation. Basically, there were cars available, so he didn't need to go to Yucheng Film and Television to get a car. He could just take a ride.

After finishing their meal, Wang Heng and his team left first, along with the TV station, referee team and other staff members.

Chen Yuan delivered it and stuffed a few red envelopes on the way.

Then he asked Little Fish King and the others to take a break, and he would set off after he had made all the arrangements.

"Dad, I'm going to the provincial capital later. I'll probably be back tomorrow night."

Chen Yuan came to the warehouse and found Chen Jun. He pointed at Mr. Qin and his friends who were fishing by the pond and said, "If Mr. Qin and his friends want to go back, you should make arrangements for them."

"No problem, go and take care of your competition. We're here at home, don't worry." Chen Jun responded with a smile and waved his hand, telling Chen Yuan to get busy and not delay his business, as it was the peak time for customers.

Chen Yuan smiled, patted Chen Ming's shoulder, said nothing, just gave him a look, everything was said without words.

He then rode his tricycle back home, washed up, changed his clothes, took out his backpack and packed some things in it, and bought a few packs of cigarettes before calling Zuo Xian'an.

"Brother, are you done there?"

As the call was connected, Zuo Xian's hearty laughter came from the other end.

"Well, it ended perfectly. There is basically no change in the qualified contestants. We are packing up and getting ready to leave now. We will probably arrive around four o'clock." Chen Yuan replied.

"Okay, I'll send you the location. Call me when you arrive and we'll pick you up." Zuo Xian said with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, I sent Chen Yuan my location.

Chen Yuan looked at the message, clicked on it to check the route, and the estimated time was close to two hours. He sent the location to Xiao Yuwang and the others, then picked up his backpack and went out.

drip.

Within two minutes, several small cars slowly drove in from the Datang parking lot and stopped outside the yard.

"Boss Chen, get in the car."

In the driver's seat of the front car, the little fish king poked his head out and puffed twice at Chen Yuan.

"Is everyone here?" Chen Yuan asked as he walked over.

"Except for Brother Wang Heng and a few others, the rest are at the back." The Little Fish King said with a smile.

"Then let's go."

Chen Yuan opened the passenger door, got in the car and said.

The little fish king stepped on the accelerator and rushed out.

On the way, Xiao Yu Wang joked: "Boss Chen, you are a big boss after all, worth tens of millions, why don't you buy yourself a car?"

"Poor."

Chen Yuan smiled bitterly and pointed out the window. "Besides, I usually stay at the fishing grounds and don't have much time to go out."

"That's true." The little fish king nodded.

The two chatted in the car all the way to the provincial capital. At around 4:30 in the afternoon, they finally arrived at the location given by Zuo Xian'an. Chen Yuan sent a message in advance.

So as soon as he arrived at the location, Zuo Xianluo came to greet him, and Feng Jin was also with him.

Zuo Xianluo is the president of the provincial association, and Feng Jin is the president of the provincial capital city fishing association. The provincial finals of this championship is his home court.

"Brother."

Zuo Xian walked forward with a big laugh and stretched out his hands from a distance.

"Brother Zuo, Chairman Feng."

Chen Yuan walked over with a smile and shook hands with the two men.

"Little fish king brother."

After Little Fish King got off the car, Zuo Xianyi reached out and shook his hand, smiling, "Haha, I knew you would definitely advance, and even the provincial competition area can't stop you."

"Learn from my brother." The little fish king said with a smile.

It's not that I'm being modest. To be able to achieve the same result as Zuo Xian'er in this year's Masters is already a huge improvement.

"Welcome to the provincial competition."

Bong Jin stepped forward to shake hands.

The other contestants got off the car one after another and shook hands and greeted Zuo Xian'er and Feng Jin one by one.

"Brother, where is the stadium?"

After some greetings, Chen Yuan looked around and asked.

Although this is the provincial capital, it is not the main urban area. It looks like a suburb, surrounded by mostly factory-like buildings and no commercial area.

"Get in the car first, I'll take you there." Feng Jin said.

The group didn't chat here, they got into the car one after another and followed Feng Jin's car.

The distance was not far. It was only three to five minutes’ drive along a fork road and we stopped at a wide open space.

There are two ponds here. Judging from their area, they are probably about the same size as the old pond in Chen Yuan's fishing ground. They are both relatively square, and the edges of the ponds are paved with stone slabs, making them look like they were newly dug not long ago.

"This is a competition venue funded by the Provincial Association and the Municipal Association. It will also be used as a fishing ground in the future, and we will try to achieve a balance between the competition venue and operation." Zuo Xian explained with a smile.

"Two ponds are good." Chen Yuan nodded.

Even if the fishing spots are planned according to the old pond's method, at least more than 200 fishing spots can be planned for these two ponds. If the fish stocking specifications are the same as in the big pond, there will be even more fishing spots.

It should be no problem to combine the competition venue and the fishing ground, and operate the fishing ground to achieve a balance between the expenses and the competition venue expenses.

As for whether the fishing ground will have an impact on Chen Yuan’s fishing ground, Chen Yuan is not worried about this.

This is the provincial capital, dozens of kilometers away from Chong City, and it takes nearly two hours to drive there. Anglers here rarely come to Chenyuan Fishing Ground.

Has little effect.

Moreover, fishing grounds are not an exclusive industry. There were many fishing grounds in Chong City at the beginning, and they did not affect Chen Yuan’s fishing grounds.

"It's just that the facilities at the stadium are not perfect enough. Unlike Boss Chen's place, there is a big screen showing the real-time game situation and various track cameras covering the entire stadium." Feng Jin shook his head and smiled.

The facilities at Chen Yuan Fishing Ground are indeed very complete, just like a standard competition venue. The large screen and the track cameras covering the entire venue alone represent a considerable investment.

It also has a commentary room and often invites guest commentators, which is up to standard.

As far as he knows, the specifications of this year's Masters Tournament have become more complete and standardized. It can be said that Chen Yuan Fishing Ground is really promoting the development of fishing. "Fishing is different from other sports events. It is difficult to arrange spectators on site, so as long as the TV media can be in place, it will be fine." Chen Yuan said with a smile.

There are basically many spectators at the scene of other competitions, but the competitiveness and viewing value of fishing have inherent disadvantages, making it difficult to retain spectators.

Dull, boring, and sleepy.

It’s just like when you watch people fishing, you might stop and watch for a while, but if there is no movement for a long time and not a single shrimp, let alone watching, the fisherman may lose his patience.

Chen Yuan has not yet considered arranging live audiences. He wants to develop the sport of fishing first and accumulate enough traffic and attention.

"Well, there is no problem with other details, and the fish used in the competition are also purchased from specific channels. Although they are not placed in a resting pond and are not kept fresh like Boss Chen's original pond fish, we put them into the competition venue in advance and did not feed them for a few days before the competition to ensure that the fish used in the competition do not adapt to the taste." Feng Jin said.

They strictly follow the event markings for all event details.

Chen Yuan nodded.

He didn't respond. There will definitely be many competitions in the provincial competition area in the future, and each fishing association will be qualified to host the competitions, at least within the province.

He wanted to supply fish, whether for competitions or fishing grounds, as a subsequent sales channel for the virtual space.

But if he provides all the fish for competitions across the province, and the Chongshi Fishing Association's results are too good, people will inevitably say that there is something wrong with the fish. This matter cannot be rushed.

"Dingling bell~"

As they were chatting, Zuo Xian'an and Feng Jin's phones rang one after another.

"We're almost there, right? The location is accurate. We'll be waiting for you here at the intersection."

"Yes, yes, it's at the intersection. I'll pick you up."

It’s people from other fishing associations who have arrived.

"Brother, do you want to stay at home first? There is a convenient hotel and a guesthouse not far away." Zuo Xianwei hung up the phone and looked at Chen Yuan and asked.

"Brothers, you guys go ahead and do your work. We'll watch here for a while." Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"Okay, let's talk later." Zuo Xian nodded, and went to pick someone up with Feng Jin.

The little fish king and his friends walked around the arena, checking out the environment in advance, and occasionally squatting down to check the water quality and other details.

Competitors from other fishing associations arrived one after another and looked at the competition venue.

Then the engineering team came in and started to build the stage.

The stage was very simple, mainly providing seating for the guests. There was also a banner for the event with sponsors on it. Chen Yuan saw the name of Zuo Xian'an's company.

But only this one.

“Didn’t the second-class events get sponsorship?”

Chen Yuan came closer to Zuo Xian'an and pointed at the column of sponsors on the event banner.

"I am ashamed. With strong support from the Sports Bureau, publicity from TV stations and various media, I have not been able to attract a single sponsor. I can only support myself."

Zuo Xian smiled bitterly and sighed.

"In the final analysis, it is because the sport of fishing has not developed. I hope this series of events this year can promote the development of fishing."

Feng Jin also shook his head.

Although CAA has been established for several years and has held many large and small competitions, its popularity has never spread and is limited to within the fishing enthusiasts.

From the outside, fishing tournaments look like a group of people doing nothing, just entertaining themselves, and have no sponsorship value at all.

"It's okay. If you don't want to sponsor now, we will screen them later. We will ignore those who are not qualified and want to sponsor." Chen Yuan smiled calmly.

Zuo Xian'an and Feng Jin all laughed out loud, really hoping that day would come.

If sponsors are rushing to sponsor fishing events, it means that the sport of fishing will inevitably have a leap forward, which is what they dream of seeing.

"Let's go. It's almost six o'clock. Let's get somewhere first and then find a place to eat." Zuo Xian looked at the time and asked everyone to stay and eat.

Almost everyone who should have arrived has arrived by now, but some who live a little further away cannot come for the time being and will be received later.

"Okay." Chen Yuan nodded.

Zuo Xian and the others might not have taken what he said just now too seriously, but Chen Yuan was not joking. Moreover, with the current development, it would be difficult to have a qualitative leap.

Therefore, strong support is still needed.

He already had an idea in his mind.

After settling in, everyone looked for a place to eat, but there were not many people traveling together. After all, the event organizer did not cover the expenses of food, accommodation and transportation, so everyone had to pay for it themselves.

All can be freely arranged.

Chen Yuan has several fishing friends who are free to do what they want. They are all adults, and since the rules don't require it, they naturally won't ask others to do it.

They and Zuo Xianluo found a restaurant at random.

"Brother, I have a new directional bait here, Chen's Crucian Carp Fishing Bait, which specializes in crucian carp bait. If you are interested, I can sell it to you."

While eating, Chen Yuan told Zuo Xianluo about the new bait.

"New products are out. Brothers, are you going to surround me?" Zuo Xian shook his head with a wry smile, but his eyes were obviously brighter.

Chen's all-killing bait has good sales, which has a certain impact on several of his products, and this is without investing in advertising.

With a little operation, sales will definitely soar.

Now there is another model. I don’t know how effective it is, but I think it won’t be bad. He will definitely sell it.

"It's just a small workshop." Chen Yuan smiled modestly.

"Small workshops can also have big brands. I believe in your brand, brother. In the future fishing gear market, Chen's will definitely have a place." Zuo Xian'an is very optimistic.

The little fish king next to them echoed.

He really believed it. After all, the bait potion that he and Wang Heng had tinkered with was severely impacted by the bait developed by Boss Chen. The gap was not small at all.

"Of course I have a dream, what if it comes true?" Chen Yuan said jokingly.

After a simple dinner, Chen Yuan and his friends returned to their accommodation. It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when Wang Heng and his group of four came over.

After settling them down, everyone went to bed early as they had to get up early to play the game tomorrow.

The next morning, Chen Yuan woke up before 6:30. After a simple wash, he knocked on the door of the Chongshi team and waited for the assembly.

"Everyone is here, let's have breakfast first and then go to the stadium."

Chen Yuan counted the number of people and after confirming that everyone was present, he took everyone to have breakfast. Along the way, they met many players from other fishing associations.

After dinner, we went straight to the stadium.

Zuo Xian'an, Feng Jin and others had already arrived at the competition venue a long time ago and were now making preparations before the competition. Fishing gear and bait were provided, as well as mineral water.

But there is no label, after all, there is no sponsorship.

"Brother, do you need any help?"

Chen Yuan led the team towards Zuo Xianluo and the others.

"Haha, there's nothing to prepare. I'll just think of a few lines and speak them later." Zuo Xian laughed.

"no problem."

Chen Yuan smiled and nodded.
