The fishing ground I opened has become a national leisure destination

Chapter 414 Park Arena
It's about two o'clock in the afternoon.

Chen Yuan and his friends left the airport on time.

"The stadium is in Yanqing, let's go directly there."

After leaving the airport, Chen Yuan and his friends went to the stadium on their own.

The airport is not far from Yanqing city, nor is it far from the venue given by the president, only about 20 kilometers. After about an hour, everyone arrived near the venue.

This place has beautiful scenery and is a park.

As soon as I got off the car, I saw a banner hanging outside the park with the words "National Fishing Tackle Brand Super League Finals Base" written on it, followed by a sentence saying "Welcome anglers from all over the country."

"Lao Shao."

Chen Yuan and his friends saw the banner and walked towards that direction. Before they got close, Zuo Xian'an greeted them warmly.

Although Zuo Xian'an established the provincial association not long ago, he has participated in many competitions. Although he cannot travel all over the country and know anglers from all over the world, he still knows many experts in this circle.

It's not strange to see acquaintances here.

"Hey, Lao Zuo."

There were people greeting people over there with the banner. Among them, a man who looked to be about the same age as Zuo Xian'er looked over here when he heard the voice. He saw Zuo Xian'er at a glance and greeted him with a smile.

"I knew you would come. There shouldn't be any fishing gear brand in Sichuan that can shake your position." Old Shao came over with a smile, hugged Zuo Xian and said with a smile.

“I’m ashamed to come in second this time.” Zuo Xian smiled bitterly and waved his hands.

"Oh, is there anyone who can beat you?" Old Shao was curious and glanced at Chen Yuan and others beside him.

It shouldn't be.

Logically speaking, Zuo Xianwei should be the best in Sichuan Province in terms of fishing skills and the effectiveness of his fishing gear brand, so it is unlikely that he would lose both in terms of people and fishing gear.

"Old Shao, take a good look at who this is." Zuo Xian pulled Chen Yuan over and introduced him.

"President Chen?"

Old Shao looked at Chen Yuan without frowning, and thought for two seconds before he suddenly came back to his senses.

"Hello, President Shao." Chen Yuan smiled and extended his hand.

He had already recognized who the old Shao in front of him was.

The president of the Capital Fishing Association and one of the CAA board members. Although we have never met in real life, we have met during online meetings.

It’s just that the impression of this video encounter was not deep enough, so I couldn’t recognize it at first glance.

"Brother Chen is also involved in the fishing gear industry. Whether it is the bait's fish-attracting effect or the quality of the fishing rod, it is better than my golden arowana and fishermen. This time we are accompanying the prince to study."

Zuo Xianwei introduced and joked.

"You're too kind, brother. The competition hasn't even started yet. As the saying goes, the outcome is still undecided. You and I are both dark horses." Chen Yuan said with a smile.

Haha.

President Shao smiled and glanced at Chen Yuan twice without leaving a trace.

Everyone chatted for a while before President Shao asked, "President Chen, your teams in each division haven't arrived yet, right?"

"Well, some should be arriving soon, and some are on the way." Chen Yuan nodded.

There are five brands in Sichuan Province and more than 50 people. It is difficult to arrange a unified itinerary. Each brand team can freely arrange the itinerary according to the schedule of the team members.

Finally, we will meet here.

"Then why don't you take a look at the competition venue first, or just rest first. The president will come over later." President Shao said.

As the president of the Capital Fishing Association, he is considered the host of the CAA event and is responsible for all reception arrangements.

"Is the competition venue here?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Well, the venue for the Fishing Tackle Brand Super League finals is scheduled to be inside the park." President Shao pointed inside.

"Where's the accommodation?" Chen Yuan asked again.

"In order to facilitate the athletes' participation in the competition, accommodation has been arranged nearby. It's not far from here, just a ten-minute drive." President Shao said with a smile.

"Then let's go to the accommodation first. We will receive the members there ourselves later and then come to see the stadium after everyone arrives." Chen Yuan said.

After running around for several hours, they were a little tired. Now they all had luggage with them. Zuo Xian'an and the others also had fishing gear with them. They decided to stop and rest for a while.

"Okay, wait a moment, the bus will be here soon."

President Shao asked Chen Yuan and the others to wait nearby. Within two minutes, a bus pulled up on the side of the road with a banner hanging on it that read, "It is exclusively for CAA events."

Obviously it is for receiving athletes.

"Xiao Bo, take our friends from the Sichuan competition area to the hotel." President Shao waved to the driver and greeted him with a smile.

"Good."

The young man nodded, and after Chen Yuan and the others got in the car, he drove towards the hotel where they were staying.

Sure enough, it was only a ten-minute drive away and Chen Yuan and his friends arrived at the hotel.

Xiao Bo got out of the car and took Chen Yuan and the others to the lobby, while he went to the front desk. A few minutes later, he ran over with a stack of room cards, smiling.

"These are the room cards for the Sichuan provincial competition area. They are all located on the sixth floor. Can I give them all to you?" Xiao Bo said with a smile while looking at everyone.

"Thank you. Please give us the room cards. We will make the arrangements ourselves and receive the subsequent personnel when they arrive." Chen Yuan took it with a smile.

"You're welcome. Please write down my phone number and contact me if you need anything."

Xiao Bo told them his cell phone number, Chen Yuan and Zuo Xian wrote it down, then they called and went to the sixth floor.

There were enough rooms, and they arrived early, so they could choose any one they wanted.

"Send the location here to other teams. We will gather here and then go to the stadium after we are all together." Chen Yuan arranged.

"it is good."

Zuo Xian sent the location to other team members. As for Jiang Taigong, Master Yu and the Fengyu team, he sent it directly to Xiao Shanqing and other leaders, who were responsible for the various teams.

“Is the venue for the Masters Tournament here?”

After choosing a room to stay in, everyone gathered in a room to chat. Huangmao was more curious about the competition venue and asked about the situation there.

"The venue for the Masters Tournament is fixed, a standard international venue. Apart from the Masters Tournament and some occasional international exchange competitions, other competitions will not use the venue for the Masters Tournament." Little Fish King shook his head.

"Just like our province, in addition to the municipal fishing association, the capital also has some district fishing associations. The venues for indoor competitions are different, and national competitions will also select different venues, so that everyone can benefit." Zuo Xian'e explained.

The two of them had come to the capital to play in competitions and knew more than Wang Heng and the others.

"Speaking of the Masters Tournament, when will the qualifying places be announced?" Huangmao asked curiously.

"It should be the end of June."

Chen Yuan said, "Except for the athletes who have won the title of competitive fishing master, the most important qualification review condition for other athletes who want to participate in the Masters Tournament is the CAA annual competition results."

"The most important of these are the three major tournaments, so after the finals of the three major tournaments, the list of this year's Masters Tournament should be announced."

Click. After saying that, Chen Yuan lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.

"Then I probably have no chance." Huangmao shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard that.

His results in the three major tournaments were not ideal. He did not even qualify for the finals, let alone the Masters. His results this year should not be enough.

"The Masters Tournament is the highest level event in fishing sports, and the entry requirements are extremely strict. I estimate that there are only a few vacancies for each province at most." Zuo Xian said.

Although the tournament was not perfect in the first few years after CAA was founded, the standards of the Masters Tournament have never been lowered. Even though relatively more players were invited in the beginning, as the tournament continued to be held, fewer and fewer players were able to qualify.

“I don’t know if I’ll qualify this year.”

Not to mention Huangmao, even the little fish king doesn't dare to say that he can definitely get the qualification to participate.

He successfully applied to participate in the Masters Tournament last year. From the entire Sichuan Province, only five people qualified to participate: Zuo Xianwei, Feng Jin, Xiao Shanqing, Gao Feiyang and him.

Judging from the results of provincial competitions, these five people indeed represent the highest level of fishing in Sichuan Province.

I don’t know how many places there are for the competition this year, but even if we follow last year’s standards, Wang Heng has emerged as a dark horse this year and will definitely get a place. It’s hard to say about the others, except Zuo Xian’an.

"The Masters is still a long way off. We need to play well in every game in front of us. As long as we live up to the tournament, the result will definitely not let us down." Chen Yuan encouraged.

Everyone nodded.

They didn't chat in the room for long before the team members arrived. Chen Yuan and Zuo Xian went downstairs to greet them.

Mr. Jiang, Master Yu and the players from the Wind Fish team arrived one after another, and the Golden Dragon Fish team also arrived one after another. At about five o'clock, all the members from the Sichuan Province competition area were present.

"Let's go, before it's too late, let's go check out the stadium first."

After everyone arrived, Chen Yuan invited everyone to go to the competition venue.

After going downstairs, they met many players from other competition areas. Zuo Xian also ran into many acquaintances and greeted them warmly. Seeing this scene, Wang Heng and the others took a second look at them.

Most of the people Zuo Xianwei knew were fishing experts. They would definitely be strong opponents in tomorrow’s competition, or even in the three subsequent competitions.

Since the CAA annual competition began, there have been many national finals, such as natural reservoir competitions and single product leagues.

But most of the top players do not participate in these events, especially the masters. Category I and special category competitions are their main battlefield.

If it weren't for the brand promotion involved in this fishing gear brand super league, perhaps these masters would not want to participate.

This can be said to be the first time that I compete with many of the country's top fishing athletes.

"The bus is here, let's go to the stadium first."

After waiting for two minutes, the bus arrived downstairs of the hotel. Chen Yuan and his friends got on the bus and drove towards the stadium.

The competition venue is inside the park. It should be a small artificial lake that meets the standards of a fishing competition venue and is generally square.

“The venue is spacious and can accommodate 800 people at the same time. It also has complete facilities, and is equipped with game commentary and real-time game status.”

"The mixed fish for the ranking competition were placed seven days in advance and not fed during this period to ensure the fish were eating normally. A supervision team followed up and supervised the whole process."

There were also staff on site explaining the facilities at the competition venue and the fish used in the competition.

The competition venue is very standard and the fish used in the competition are also standardized.

Not only are they placed in place in advance and no longer fed, but there is also a supervisory team following up throughout the entire process to ensure the fairness of the event.

"Are there mixed fish in the pond?"

Zuo Xian asked.

"The national finals of the Fishing Tackle Brand Super League will have two rounds, the ranking round and the finals. There will also be two venues, the mixed fish field and the heavy fish field. The specific rules will be announced by the referee team tomorrow."

Everyone nodded and didn't ask any more questions. After walking around the mixed fish farm, they went to see the heavy fish farm, which was also in the park, right next to it. It was also an artificial lake with a similar area.

The group looked at different fishing spots and communicated with athletes from other competition areas.

Chen Yuan was watching too.

In general, the use of park lakes as the competition venue ensures that the venue area is sufficient to accommodate all athletes at the same time and can be used for large-scale events.

As for the supporting facilities, they are similar to those of Chen Yuan Fishing Ground. Probably after talking with the president, the venue is also being standardized. It is estimated that this venue will be used for multiple competitions in the future.

In addition to the competition venue, Chen Yuan also took a look at the opening stage.

It is a temporary stage. The opening poster has been hung up, and the information of the organizer and the organizing unit is there, as well as thanks to various supporting units, such as the Fisheries Bureau, Tourism Development Commission and other relevant departments.

There is also park stadium sponsorship.

Most importantly, there are various fishing gear brands and media supporting the event.

At present, these fishing gear brands are the largest sponsors of the event. In addition to the event service fees, they provide all the fishing gear required by the athletes to participate in the competition.

Of course, this is just the beginning. Perhaps the sponsorship of fishing gear brands will increase in the future. To put it bluntly, the event service fee will increase, or in disguised terms, the entry qualification fee.

After all, CAA organizes this event, provides this stage, and invites various media to support it. Its publicity value is immeasurable.

There is no reason for wanting to use this stage.

“As expected of the national finals, the media publicity is quite strong.”

What Chen Yuan focuses on is the media information of the event, which is the key to the success of the Fishing Gear Brand Super League.

The intensity of event publicity determines the promotional value of the fishing gear brand. It is like shooting an advertisement but without a publicity platform and no publicity and promotion. Isn’t it just shot for yourself?
The Fishing Tackle Brand Super League is not only a competition to promote and develop the sport of fishing, but also a promotion of the fishing tackle industry.

The more successful the event is, the more fishing gear brands from all over the country will be attracted to join in, allowing the fishing gear industry and fishing sports to promote each other and develop together.

Chen Yuan was very satisfied with the media support for this event.

"There are satellite TV stations, TV stations, various sports channels, and several special fishing channels. The TV stations are very supportive."

"In addition, there are also magazine forums, Diaotianxia.com and various publications. Most importantly, there are short video platforms for promotion and sponsorship."

The last few short video platforms are what Chen Yuan is most excited about.

With his memory of later life, he naturally knew that the development of fishing sport was not due to the fact that traditional publicity channels did not play a big role. Instead, it came into the public eye thanks to the traffic from short video platforms.

Especially with the addition of Tik Tok, fishing has become a top sport.

"I wonder how much traffic support these short videos can provide." Chen Yuan murmured as he looked at the poster.

This is critical.

The president should know, maybe I can ask him later.

After a while, Zuo Xian'an, Wang Heng and others came back here after wandering around the competition venue.

"finish watching?"

Chen Yuan regained his composure, looked at them and asked with a smile.

"Well, the competition venue is good and the locations are suitable. We can just draw a fishing spot tomorrow." Huangmao said with a smile, looking confident.

He wouldn't be so confident in other competitions, but the fishing gear brand league is definitely the arena where he is most confident.

There is no other reason, the brand effect is strong!
