The fishing ground I opened has become a national leisure destination

Chapter 522 How to Fight This Battle

Chen Yuan looked at the messages in the group and thought about it.

Before, President Wang asked him to try to find a domestic lure fishing expert. He would definitely ask the club members first. If he had confidence in lure fishing, there would be no need to look for others.

But now that Wang Heng and the others have made such a suggestion, Xu Bai and Dongfang Qingyang have no objection. Perhaps they really need to add another layer of insurance on top of the system's product.

"Brother Xu, Sister Qingyang, then let's try to look for it first?"

Chen Yuan did not directly respond to He Haibin's suggestion, but tagged Xu Bai and Dongfang Qingyang.

"Haha, Boss Chen, don't worry about our feelings. If there are lure fishing experts joining our club, I will definitely welcome them with open arms." Xu Bai replied.

He was very clear about his fishing level. He was not as good as Wang Heng, Wang Bin, He Haibin and Xiao Yuwang in the club. Even if he took up a place in the competition, it would hardly help the overall performance of the team.

It would be better to give this spot to a lure fishing expert, which would be more helpful to the team's performance.

It just so happened that he could stay and preside over the construction work of Chen's Fishing Gear. After all, the new Chen's Fishing Gear Factory was in the early stages of construction and was very busy.

"To be honest, I really don't want to hold the team back." Dongfang Qingyang replied.

According to the club's current configuration, she might be able to get a substitute spot, but this would be completely meaningless for the game and would undoubtedly be a waste of the spot.

Huangmao and the other members had nothing to say. The 5+1 configuration definitely had nothing to do with them, so they hoped that the team could get good results.

After all, even if you don't participate in club competitions, you can still get a certain amount of prize money. The better the results, the more prize money you can get.

"Brother He, please help me ask. If I am willing to join the Chen Club, there will be no problem with the salary." After getting the approval of Xu Bai and others, Chen Yuan tagged He Haibin to agree to this matter.

Afterwards, he also tagged Wang Heng and others, asking them to mobilize their connections in the lure circle to see if there are any suitable lure experts and try to invite them to the Chen Club.

The speed must be fast.

After all, there are still matters such as joining the club and applying for entry and exit procedures. Moreover, with a lure fishing expert guiding Wang Heng and his friends in practicing, the effect of improving their fishing skills should be better.

"it is good."

The members responded.

After chatting in the group for a while, Chen Yuan exited the WeChat group and clicked on the competition file sent by CAA to look at the details of the international competition process.

"Dingling bell~"

As I was watching, the phone suddenly rang, and the caller ID showed it was Zuo Xian'ao.

"Brother." Chen Yuan answered the call.

"Brother, have you received the international fishing gear brand competition documents?" Zuo Xian asked directly.

"Just received it and am reading it." Chen Yuan responded with a smile.

“Did you see the competition items? There is actually lure fishing for bass. This fishing method is not a traditional fishing method. Isn’t this pure bullying of us traditional anglers?” Zuo Xian said with a wry smile.

Chen Yuan could understand that perhaps this was the case for all those who had received the competition documents at the moment. No matter what kind of fish were caught in other events, at least they still used traditional fishing methods, which was also what they were good at and the direction of their research. Even if they lost, they would be convinced.

There is nothing to say about our inferior skills and poor product performance.

However, lure fishing is a non-traditional fishing method and is not mainstream in China, so it is neither their forte nor the main research and development direction of their products.

This is an absolute weak link. How can we fight this battle by using our weakness to attack their strength?

"Brother, have you never played lure?" Chen Yuan asked.

"I tried it once or twice in the past two years, but it wasn't suitable for me, so I gave up." Zuo Xian's voice was a little bitter. It was obvious that he didn't know much about lures, or to be more precise, he had no interest in it.

"Brother, why not change your thinking?"

Chen Yuan had to change the direction and comforted him: "We are using traditional fishing methods. We are indeed not very familiar with lure fishing, but those who use lure fishing should not be good at traditional fishing either. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, so."

"We should try our best to play to our strengths to widen the gap, and then try every way to narrow the gap in our weaknesses. If we play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses, we may have a chance of winning."

I didn’t follow President Wang’s example.

Planning the bass fishing project does take advantage of the influence of top events and can attract traffic to ensure that the International Fishing Tackle Brand Super League has a better thermal impact.

Zuo Xian's call was obviously just a few complaints between good friends. There was no need to say all that. It was not like he didn't understand the logic.

“How do we narrow the gap?”

Zuo Xian asked, "Brother, have you ever been involved in lure fishing products? Does your club have any experts who are good at lure fishing?"

"Chen's fishing gear involves lure products. There are quite a few people in the club who have tried lures, but judging from their tone, they are not very good at it." Chen Yuan said truthfully.

"It involves such a wide range of aspects. I'm afraid you have made preparations in advance." Zuo Xian was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Chen's fishing gear would involve lure products.

You should know that lure fishing is not mainstream in China. Although there are a group of enthusiasts, compared with traditional fishing methods, it does not constitute much of a market impact.

Although he is involved in Golden Arowana and Angler, the number of his products is not large, and his products have received mixed reviews and reputation, especially lure baits, which have unstable effects and are always unsatisfactory, so his investment is even more limited.

Traditional fishing gear products are the mainstream in China.

"There's no advance preparation. We just want to build a good brand for fishing gear and cover as many fishing gear products as possible." Chen Yuan said with a casual smile.

Zuo Xian'er didn't ask any more questions. This was about the brand development concept and was somewhat off topic.

"Although lure fishing is not mainstream in China, there is still a market for it, and I believe that the quality of your brand may really be able to take over this market." Zuo Xian said with a smile.

Whether the market is big or not is relative. Compared with the entire domestic fishing gear market, the lure market is indeed very limited, but if you can occupy this market, it would be a very scary thing.

The market for traditional fishing gear is indeed huge, but everyone wants to have a piece of this cake, and the competition is very fierce. Although the lure market is limited, not many people want to have a piece of this cake.

If you can become a unicorn in the lure market, your profit will be no less than that of many brands in the traditional market.

"The lure product has not yet been launched on the market. Who can say for sure what will happen next?" Chen Yuan smiled gently.

"Let's get back to the topic. I have a lure product, but no matter how good the product is, it still needs athletes to perform well. What are you going to do with the lure project?" Zuo Xian asked seriously.

If you want to narrow the gap in lure fishing for bass, in addition to lure products, you also need a lure master.

"What do you think, brother?" Chen Yuan asked instead of answering.

“Although lure fishing is not mainstream in China, there are still many enthusiasts. Perhaps we can try to invite them to join the club to participate in the competition.”

Zuo Xianyi explained his plan, "For international competitions, we have a 5+1 configuration and a 5 out of 3 standard. We can definitely set up two teams, one for traditional fishing and one for lure fishing."

It seems that when President Wang issued the competition notice, he reminded each brand that after all, they were all participating in the competition on behalf of CAA and hoped that they could all get good results.

Since that's the case, Chen Yuan naturally wouldn't say anything.

"Then let's find a lure expert as soon as possible."

After ending the call with Zuo Xian, Chen Yuan thought for a moment and reopened the club group, reminding everyone again to speed up the invitation lobbying. He asked them to speed up just now because he was worried that other brands would also look for lure experts, and this was indeed the case. It is estimated that after receiving the event documents, all participating brands will do so.

Steal people!

Now it’s just two words: recruit people with the fastest speed and the best treatment.

Checking the time, Chen Yuan took back his phone, jumped on the tricycle, and headed towards the big pond. He originally wanted to discuss the free operation model of fish catch with Chen Jun and others, but was delayed for a while when he received news about an international competition.

By now Chen Jun and the others must have gone to the fish pond.

"Dad, uncle."

As soon as I arrived here, I saw Chen Jun and Chen Guo wandering around the small pond. Some people were playing in the custom pond today, and both of them were here.

Small pond customization is still very popular. After all, Chen Yuan Fishing Ground can provide a wide variety of fish species, almost all freshwater fish species that can be caught can be satisfied, so it is deeply loved by anglers.

Chen Jun and his team have also specially built a customized pond group, and the number of group members is almost three thousand.

"Are you going to participate in international competitions?" Chen Jun asked casually after taking the cigarette handed to him by Chen Yuan.

Just when Chen Yuan was about to talk to them, he received a call from President Wang, who told him that there was news about an international competition that would begin this month.

“Is there an international fishing competition?”

"Is it a friendly match?"

Hearing Chen Jun's words, the anglers around him looked at Chen Yuan curiously.

"Friendly matches are not considered official competitions. They are mainly for communication and learning. This should be considered an attempt at a real international competition." Chen Yuan responded with a smile.

“It really is an international competition.”

"What kind of event is this?"

The anglers asked curiously.

"The International Fishing Tackle Brand Super League is an upgraded version of the Domestic Fishing Tackle Brand League. It is hosted by the International Fishing Sports Association and co-organized by more than a dozen member countries of the international association. It brings together many fishing tackle brands around the world to create a fishing event." Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"Oh my goodness, it's so big."

“The sport of fishing is going international.”

"The fishing gear brand industry is going crazy this time."

Although I haven't seen the competition documents, it is not difficult to hear from Chen Yuan's words the scale and ferocity of this international competition. More than a dozen member countries of the international association will participate in the competition, and I wonder how many fishing gear brands will be united.

This kind of competition is definitely one that every participating fishing gear brand wants to stand out from the crowd. They will definitely bring out the best fishing gear and invite the strongest fishing masters to participate.

This is a battlefield for fishing gear brands, and it is also a competition that attracts much attention from anglers.

Fishermen will definitely choose the brand that suits them based on the performance of various fishing gear brands in such competitions. You can imagine how exciting the competition is.

"Boss Chen, are you confident this time?"

“Where is this event taking place and can we see it?”

The anglers continued to ask questions.

Some are curious about what kind of results Chen’s Fishing Gear can achieve this time. After all, in the domestic fishing gear brand super league, Chen’s Fishing Gear won double championships.

The championship trophy is still on display in the office next door.

Some are interested in the event and want to watch the game.

"Haha, if you dare to participate, you must have confidence. Those who don't have confidence don't dare to participate."

Chen Yuan laughed and said, "As for the venue of the event, the member countries of the international associations will select themselves in the first stage of the preliminaries, which will start on the 18th of this month."

"Our corresponding qualifying competition is the domestic fishing gear brand Super League. It has already been held this year and will not be held again. The subsequent competition time should be adjusted according to the international competition."

"The second stage of the finals will be held at Lao Mi's place on the 17th of next month. There should be domestic broadcasts at that time. I will inform you of the details then, or you can pay attention to the official news from CAA."

There is no doubt that the publicity efforts for this international competition will be great, and all countries will promote it vigorously. Although the specifications may not be the highest-level competitions in each country, the publicity will definitely not be low.

Especially the finals, which is the most intense arena and also the fame and fortune place for all fishing gear brands, so they will definitely invest in publicity.

Without chatting with his fishing friends for too long, Chen Yuan asked Chen Jun and Chen Guo to come to the casual restaurant. At the same time, he called Chen Ming and told him the idea of ​​the free operation model of fish catch.

“This model has two benefits.”

Without waiting for Chen Jun and the others to say anything, Chen Yuan explained his considerations, "First, the fish will be freed without the need to return them, so the workload of the fishing ground staff will be greatly reduced. When the sea fishing ground opens for business later, perhaps the staff arrangements can be adjusted."

"Secondly, and most importantly, Three Sheep Tea is in a period of rapid development and requires a lot of financial support. Chen's Fishing Gear also needs to build a new factory, which all requires money. Not returning the fish can save a lot of money."

These two reasons, plus the current size of the virtual fish pond, are fully sufficient to support the no-fish-returning mode, and work at the fishing ground will become much easier.

"If you consider sea fishing grounds, this model is indeed good, but if the fish are not returned, you will need to replenish the fish, which also costs money. How can you save cash?" Chen Jun pointed out the loophole in Chen Yuan's words.

After all, this kind of fish return model is what he figured out. At the beginning, he just wanted to make some profit from the price difference and reduce the cost as much as possible, so he is very familiar with the cost.

"I have discussed this matter with Wang Tao. The cost of releasing the fish can be postponed to the end of the year, which is equivalent to giving us a buffer period of half a year." Chen Yuan blurted out.

If one wants to convince Chen Jun and his team to switch to a mode that does not return fish, simply reducing the workload of employees is certainly not enough. It is also not enough to say that repeatedly returning fish will affect the fish's appetite and quality.

The best reason is lack of money.

Not returning the fish will reduce cash flow to support other projects, and only then will Chen Jun and others agree.

As for how to save money, just leave it to Wang Tao.

As a professional scapegoat, Wang Tao can handle any matter no matter how the account is handled or what the excuse is.

"Will the preferential treatment for fish merchants change?" Chen Jun thought about it and asked.

"will not."

Chen Yuan shook his head and smiled, "Not only won't happen now, but probably won't happen in the future. After all, the scale and demand of Chen Yuan's fishing ground are all here."

"That's good."

Chen Jun nodded in relief, flicked the ash off his cigarette and said, "In that case, you can do whatever you want. We will do whatever you arrange."

Chen Yuan is taking big steps. The development of Yucheng Village has never stopped. There are other projects outside, and the Three Sheep is burning money very quickly. Now they have to build a new factory, and the cash flow requirements are huge.

In this case, we can only find a solution from other projects, and the changes to the fish pond will not have much impact.

Moreover, the price offered by the fish merchants is similar to the price for returning the fish. There is actually not much difference between returning the fish or not. Naturally, there is no reason to reject the model of not returning the fish.
