The fishing ground I opened has become a national leisure destination

Chapter 477 Fishing Park, International Competition Concept
The fishing park is located in Dongcheng District, not too far from the Fishing Association headquarters. Chen Yuan and Li Shiyi invited all the competition team members to take the morning bus, which was only a 20-minute drive away.

When we arrived at the fishing park, there were already several business cars parked on the roadside. The president and his group, along with some international friends who came later, arrived first.

"President." Chen Yuan and the others approached enthusiastically after getting off the car.

The international athlete leaders who arrived earlier also came forward one after another and greeted each other enthusiastically.

"Let's go, let's get familiar with the stadium first."

Due to the large number of people, the president did not greet Chen Yuan and led more than 200 athletes towards the fishing park.

This place looks like a village, but there is no village. Walking deeper along a path lined with ornamental plants and trees on both sides, you will soon come to a staircase.

Going down the steps, there is a wide area surrounded by various ornamental plants and many trees that are very ornamental.

Just as Zuo Xianluo and the others said, the environment is indeed good.

In addition to the green plants, there is a stage built in the middle of the fish pond in front. It is more than three meters above the ground and covers an area of ​​more than 100 square meters.

At this moment, the red carpet has been rolled out, and tables, chairs, and event posters have been arranged, and fishing pictures from various national and regional fishing associations are on display.

In addition, a sunshade was built on the stage. After all, it was July, and the leaders would have to watch the game under the scorching sun, and they would probably get heatstroke.

On the left and right sides of the stage, there are steps that look like seats, so if there are spectators, they can watch the game.

"There are three fishing ponds in the fishing park. The first one covers an area of ​​128 acres and is planned as a single-species pond with a total of competition positions."

Walking along the stage, the president began to introduce the fish pond competition venue.

Judging from the size, shape and fishing position division of the first pond, it is not difficult to see that it is a single-product pond, and most of the fish are used to catch crucian carp.

Although it is not square in shape, its four sides are very straight, and it is in the shape of a long strip with a width of about 20 meters. There is no fishing spot.

All fishing spots are set opposite to each other, and the distance between each fishing spot is limited, which looks not much wider than the distance between fishing spots in the small pond of Chen Yuan Fishing Ground.

This kind of fishing spot spacing and opposite fishing distance is suitable for fishing crucian carp, but not suitable for mixed fish competitions.

At this moment, parasols have been placed at each fishing spot. After all, in a midsummer fishing competition, the daytime temperature is very high. Without shade, you might get heatstroke, especially at noon.

“This is the arena for hand-fishing.”

Chen Yuan watched with a group of leaders and responsible persons. The other athletes were also observing the stadium, walking along the pond, or looking into the pond.

Then, the group came to the second pond.

"The second pond is a mixed fish pond with a total area of ​​128 acres, and it is also divided into competition positions." The president continued to introduce the mixed fish pond.

The area is slightly larger than the old pond in Chen Yuan Fishing Ground, but it seems that the water surface is not as spacious as the old pond. This is mainly because the fish pond is more square, much squarer than the first pond.

Its width is about 60 meters and its length is about 130 to 140 meters. Overall, its length is about twice its width.

The number of fishing spots is more than that of the old pond in Chenyuan Fishing Ground, and there are no facilities such as floating bridges, so the intervals between fishing spots are much smaller than those in the old pond.

But as a hand rod for fishing mixed fish, the spacing between the race positions is completely sufficient and more than enough.

"The third pond has an area of ​​128 mu and also has race positions."

Finally we arrived at the third pond.

This is the largest competition venue in the fishing park. Although its area is much smaller than the big pond in Chen Yuan Fishing Ground, it is still not small considering the 128 competition venues.

This pond is generally used for two types of competitions, either as a giant pond or as a casting competition venue.

For example, this pond is the venue for the Masters Championship, while the International Fishing Friendship Tournament does not have a casting event, but a giant fishing event.

In addition to the spacious fish pond arena, there are many scenic trees and even fruit trees around it, and the overall environment is beautiful.

If it is operated as a fishing ground, its fishing environment will be even better than Chen Yuan Fishing Ground.

Of course, as a fishing base of the Fishing Association headquarters, it should not be used as a business model.

"There are 128 places in Sankoutang. Will there also be 128 players in the final of the Masters?" Wang Heng and his friends were walking around the stadium while communicating with Zuo Xian and others.

Wang Heng did not play in any national tournaments or participate in the Masters last year. As these are the highest level tournaments, there are still some details that he is not clear about.

"uncertain."

Zuo Xian shook his head and said, "As the highest level fishing event, the entry requirements are very strict. This can be seen from the application at the beginning of the year, so there are requirements and controls on the number of participants."

"For example, in the past two years of the Masters Championship, there were less than a hundred people participating in the Fishing Park."

After all, CAA was established only a few years ago, many competitions are not yet perfected, and not many people have been awarded the honorary title of competitive fishing master, so the scale of the Masters Tournament is not large.

However, as the Masters Championship continues, more and more people are awarded the title of Competitive Fishing Master, and the number of players eligible to participate each year is bound to increase year by year.

Combined with the off-site application quota, it is estimated that the number of people participating in the national finals will not be lower than before.

Moreover, starting from this year, the Masters Championship prize is as high as one million, which is more attractive than a category one event. I believe the final will be exciting.

"The fish for the Sankoutang event have been placed in advance, so there is no need to worry about the fish's preferences. In addition, ten kinds of special baits have been prepared for the event, which are from the top ten bait brands in my country's fishing gear brand super league."

After introducing the fish pond competition venue, the president talked about the supply of fish and bait for the competition.

The organizer of this friendly match selected ten types of bait for the event, which are the brands that won the top ten results in the previous fishing gear brand league.

Brands such as Chen’s Fishing Tackle are naturally willing to provide it.

Not to mention that it is provided free of charge, even if the association charges an entrance fee, even if it starts at 100,000, I believe many fishing gear brands will rush to join.

You should know that the International Fishing Friendly Tournament is also a second-class event. Its publicity power can be imagined, especially with the cooperation with many short video platforms. In addition, Ye Zhi will also attend, which is no less than investing in an advertisement.

What's more, by communicating with international anglers, there may be the possibility of opening up the international market.

There is a reason to spend money on such an opportunity.

"Can we take a look at the bait first?"

Athletes from other countries and regions wanted to take a look at the bait. After all, this friendly match was arranged by the host, and some items were specified by the event.

However, everyone has different fishing habits, especially in this kind of international competition, fishing preferences are definitely different, and you can also be prepared by looking at the bait in advance.

"can."

The president nodded with a smile. After all, it was just a friendly match, and the main point was to exchange fishing experiences. Besides, the friendly match was also a team competition, and each team was a combination of Chinese and foreign players.

The results of the competition are relatively unimportant. "If this fishing friendly competition goes well, we can also launch an international fishing gear brand super league and even create more international competitions."

The athletes wanted to familiarize themselves with bait and other competition supplies in advance, while the leaders were talking about jointly organizing the competition.

The International Fishing Friendly Tournament is just the beginning. If the first session goes smoothly and receives good response, more possible events will be discussed in the future. The one we are currently thinking about is the fishing gear brand league.

Fishing gear brands are not limited to China. Fishermen are all over the world. There are countless people who love fishing in every place, and the fishing gear industry is also spread all over the world.

"Is this the Global Fishing Tackle Brand Super League?"

Chen Yuan listened to the translator's words, secretly pondering the feasibility of this event, or more accurately, the pros and cons.

It is indeed a good thing for global fishing gear brands to unite with fishing associations of various countries and regions to carry out fishing gear brand competitions, but the prerequisite is that they have confidence in their own brands.

Otherwise, with the influence of the event, foreign fishing gear brands may have a huge impact on domestic brands and affect the development of local brands.

But correspondingly, if domestic fishing gear brands have confidence, they can also impact the international market and open up broader market sales.

So it is difficult to say the pros and cons. It all depends on which fishing gear brand is more effective, especially bait, which is the most commonly used item by anglers and the thing that best reflects the fishing effect.

As for Chen Yuan, it is definitely beneficial with no disadvantages, because he believes in the system and can definitely crush any brand of fishing gear.

After wandering around the fishing park and getting familiar with the venue and equipment, the group returned to the hotel, arranged for their foreign friends to check in, and then went to have dinner.

Li Shiyi did not go with them. After returning to the hotel, she took the staff to distribute the uniforms for the next day's competition.

"Wow, there are quite a lot of sponsors this time." When Chen Yuan got the jersey, he saw various logos and names on it, as many as seven or eight of them, big and small.

"In the final analysis, it's all due to the good leadership of the two presidents." Li Shiyi said with a smile.

Chen Yuan glanced at Li Shiyi. Is this considered flattery?

However, what Li Shiyi said does make some sense. With the formulation of various competitions, cooperation with various short video platforms, and the signing of an image endorsement contract with Ye Zhi, the influence of CAA events is growing.

Not to mention the benefits of live broadcast and rebroadcast of each event, there are more and more sponsors for the events, and almost all of them sign annual sponsorship contracts, starting at millions.

Apart from other things, the existing benefits alone are enough to support tournament prize money and daily expenses. CAA has already achieved self-sufficiency and does not need to seek any policy support from the president.

You can even be rich.

And this is just the beginning. As the influence of the event grows, the sponsorship agreed upon each year will be adjusted. I believe things will get better and better in the future.

All of this started with Chen Yuan joining the association and planning events and development with the president, which allowed the CAA annual events and fishing sports to have a leap forward this year.

Next it's time to eat.

Chen Yuan and the general president together received the leaders of other teams. During the meal, they talked about many topics related to fishing and how to continue to jointly develop competitions. They had a very pleasant conversation.

Since there were competitions the next day, the dinner did not last too long. The athletes went back to rest early, and Chen Yuan and the others finished chatting at nine o'clock.

After the meeting, the president kept Chen Yuan.

"Xiao Chen, what do you think about deepening the joint development of competitions?" The president poured a cup of tea, took a sip and asked.

It is a good thing to jointly organize international fishing competitions, which can promote the development of fishing sports in various countries and enhance the influence of fishing sports.

But there will also be some disadvantages. For example, if the fishing gear brand competition fails to achieve good results, it will have a great impact on the fishing gear industry.

So it is still in the discussion stage, and the president has not made a decision yet. He will discuss it with Chen Yuan and others.

“Overall, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.”

As Chen Yuan spoke, he picked up the cigarette box and handed a cigarette to the president, and then to several other leaders of the Fishing Association.

"Tell me."

The president took the cigarette and flicked it lightly, looking at Chen Yuan with interest.

"Overall, domestic fishing competitions are not as perfect as some foreign competitions. Deepening cooperation will help us improve the competitions and enhance the influence of fishing sports."

Chen Yuan lit a cigarette and said in detail, "Besides, if we can achieve good results in international competitions, it will also greatly promote my country's fishing gear industry. The prosperity of the fishing gear industry will definitely benefit the fishing sport. The two complement each other."

"I've thought about what you said."

The president nodded upon hearing this, took a deep puff of cigarette, and then changed the subject, saying, "But this is an ideal situation. If the results are too poor, it may affect the local fishing gear industry."

The other leaders echoed this and expressed their concerns one after another.

Friendly matches are mainly for communication and learning, with the emphasis on friendship. Moreover, they are team matches, so no matter what the final result is, it has no impact.

But if we organize other competitions, especially those for fishing gear brands, it will be hard to say the pros and cons.

"What does the president think of the Chen brand?"

In response to these questions, Chen Yuan smiled and asked instead of answering.

"The Fishing Tackle Brand Super League has shown that, at least before next year's competition, the Brand League Championship Cup will belong to Chen's Fishing Tackle." The president said with a smile.

The meaning is self-evident, Chen is currently the best in the domestic fishing gear industry.

This is not only true for the bait effect, but also for the quality of the fishing rod.

“Whether it’s the International Fishing Tackle Super League or other international competitions, my Chen company is confident that we are not inferior to any brand.” Chen Yuan said confidently.

Although the president admires Chen Yuan's confidence, the issue concerns the entire domestic fishing gear industry, and he cannot just rush in based on Chen Yuan's confidence.

"In fact, no one is absolutely sure about this kind of event. We have such concerns, and so do foreign associations and fishing gear brands."

Chen Yuan changed the subject slightly and smiled faintly.

The president and others nodded slightly. Without competing on the same stage, no one knew the effect. Even for domestic fishing gear brands, their effectiveness could only be known through practice.

"Moreover, Chen's Fishing Gear has reached a strategic brand cooperation with Golden Arowana, and is currently researching new models for Golden Arowana. Good progress has been made and I believe it will be available soon, and its effect will surely be even greater."

Chen Yuan took a deep breath of cigarette, exhaled the smoke and said: "There are not only Chen's fishing gear in China, but also many other brands such as Jinlongyu, Tianyuan, Huashi, Laogui, etc. They are all top first-line brands. President, you have to believe in our fishing gear industry."

When Chen Yuan heard about the deepening of cooperation events at the fishing park, he thought about these issues. The Chen brand is definitely not afraid, and it can even open up the international market.

As for other brands, Golden Arowana has his support, so I believe the performance will be good and the results in international competitions can be guaranteed, so of course I support them.
