Chapter 527 Arrival
Yucheng Village in September is indeed not as popular as in July and August. The overall average daily reception volume is only about 4,000 people, and the number of tourists has dropped by half.

This is normal, and it is quite good to have such a large number of tourists at this time of year.

The students from the village returned to school, part-time students were withdrawn, and the number of staff was reduced. This was just right for the situation and the staffing arrangement was very reasonable.

The construction of the sea fishing ground has begun, and various machines have been brought in to operate day and night.

At the beginning of the month, Chen Yuan received a message from President Wang that many CAA staff had already gone to the international arena, led by President Wang himself.

Originally, I wanted to take Chen Yuan with me, but after comprehensive consideration, I asked Chen Yuan to stay and arrange the athletes.

"We are going to release the fish to ensure fairness and justice in the use of fish for the competition." Chen Yuan definitely had no objection, and at the same time he knew the purpose of President Wang and his team going there early.

Although the International Fishing Association certainly has a competition committee, fairness is definitely guaranteed.

But after all, this is the first international fishing gear brand competition, jointly organized by more than ten countries and regions, representing nearly 100 fishing gear brands in the world.

Definitely more attention.

According to the competition rules, the time for replenishing the fish in the competition waters must not be less than fifteen days before the official competition time, and fishing is strictly prohibited ten days in advance, and feeding is prohibited five days in advance.

The purpose is to improve the fish's eating habits, ensure that the fish used in the competition do not have special eating habits, and demonstrate the fairness of the competition.

……

In the following period, everything was in order. The number of tourists received by Yucheng Village was very stable, Chen's fishing gear was completed and put into production, and brands such as Tianyuan were also producing new products at a rapid pace.

Chen Yuan arranged for athletes from various brands to travel to the United States.

The time was quickly approaching the middle of the month.

"Brother Zuo, are your event staff ready?" Chen Yuan began to contact Zuo Xianwei and other brands.

"Everything is ready. We'll meet at the airport tomorrow morning." Zuo Xian responded.

"Okay, let's meet at the airport." Chen Yuan replied.

He then contacted Deng Gang and others.

Since they were in different places, Deng Gang and his group would definitely not gather here, so they booked a local flight and flew to the same airport to gather there.

After making sure that none of the top ten brands were missed, Chen Yuan began to pack his luggage. He then explained some things to Xu Bai, Wang Tao, Liang Chunping and others, and then went downstairs.

In the yard, Chen Jun, Tang Ying, Chen Li, Yang Yangyang and others were all there, chatting in the cool air and looking at the starry night sky that can only be seen in the countryside. It was a warm and comfortable feeling.

The only one missing is Liu Na. I haven’t seen her for a long time and I don’t know when she will come back.

"Are you leading a team abroad tomorrow?"

Chen Jun, who was sitting on the recliner, saw Chen Yuan coming downstairs and asked.

"Well, the competition is almost here. We should go there two days in advance to adjust to the time difference." Chen Yuan brought a bench from outside the main hall to the yard, took out a cigarette and handed it to Chen Jun and Yang Yangyang.

"I never thought fishing could go international. If you had said this last year, I'm afraid I would have thought you were still asleep." Chen Jun reached out to take the cigarette, shook his head and smiled.

If Chen Yuan had returned to the village to open a fish pond last year, and if he had been told that he wanted to hold a competition, and a national competition, or even go international, he would probably have slapped him in the face.

It's just dreaming, it's unrealistic.

"I don't know what the scenery is like abroad. It's a rare opportunity, so you must take a good look around." Chen Li looked at the night sky, then looked at Chen Yuan.

"Xiao Yuan is leading the team to play a game. Do you think he is going on a trip?"

Yang Yangyang looked at her, lit a cigarette and said, "And I think foreign countries are definitely not as good as China. I think the scenery in Yucheng Village is the most beautiful."

"Well, my sister is in Yucheng Village." Chen Yuan grinned and chuckled.

"You are stealing my lines~" Yang Yangyang was stunned for a moment, then patted Chen Yuan and learned another trick of cheesy love talk.

"Problem~" Chen Li rolled her eyes at the two of them.

Chen Jun and Tang Ying were grinning beside them.

A heartwarming picture.

……

The next morning, Chen Yuan got up quickly after five o'clock, washed up quickly, took his luggage and went downstairs. His mother had already gotten up and was busy in the kitchen.

"Wait a moment. I've cooked some rice balls and fried eggs for you. Eat them before you leave." Seeing Chen Yuan walking out of the main room, Tang Ying leaned his head out and shouted.

Last night, when they were chatting in the yard enjoying the cool, Tang Ying asked Chen Yuan when he would go out, and she got up specially to cook some breakfast for him.

"Mom, didn't you say no? There is breakfast served on the plane. You should sleep more at this time." Chen Yuan slowed down and walked to the kitchen.

"I am on a day off today."

Tang Ying had a gentle smile on her face. She took out a bowl and put some sugar at the bottom of the bowl. Then she scooped a spoonful of boiling water to dissolve the sugar. She then scooped the glutinous rice balls and poached eggs into the bowl.

"I'll put you in a basin of cold water. It won't be hot in a minute." Tang Ying wiped his hands and smiled.

Chen Yuan saw that it was still early, so he was not in a hurry. This was the care from his old mother, so how could he refuse it?

"Mom, I'm leaving first. You should go and get some sleep." After finishing breakfast, Chen Yuan said hello to Tang Ying, put his luggage on his back and prepared to leave.

"Send us a message when you arrive, and be careful outside." Tang Ying watched him get on the tricycle and slowly disappear around the corner.

The child travels thousands of miles and the mother is worried.

It wasn’t a big deal for Chen Yuan to go out for previous domestic competitions, after all, it was in China, but this time it was an international competition, and going abroad gave Tang Ying a different feeling.

How can a mother not worry about her child who is in a foreign country?

"I got it. I'll be back in a few days and bring you gifts~" Chen Yuan's voice came from the other side of the bend, bringing a little smile to Tang Ying's face.

Yucheng Village was very quiet at a little after five o'clock. There were no vehicles on the village road. Chen Yuan simply turned the accelerator to the bottom and rushed to the village entrance at lightning speed.

The construction team is still working overtime. Chen Yuan parked the tricycle on the roadside, and some villagers will help him ride it back.

Then take a taxi straight to the airport.

"Boss Chen."

Wang Heng and Xiao Yuwang had already arrived. Zuo Xianwei and others also arrived early and were waiting outside the airport. When they saw Chen Yuan, they immediately came to greet him.

"Let's go, board the plane first."

Chen Yuan invited them to board the plane.

People from Chongzhou and the provincial capital have already arrived, and other members have set sail from their respective locations. For example, Wang Bin, He Haibin, Gong Lei and Cui Liang are each going to the transit point in the United States to gather.

The International Fishing Association's headquarters is located in Florida. Since there are no direct flights, you need to transfer to other transit stations first.

The flight is quite long, lasting more than ten hours. Chen Yuan and his friends can use this time to catch up on their sleep and adjust to the jet lag. After all, it should be daytime there this time.

After nearly fifteen hours of flight, we arrived at West District 5 from East District 8. It was almost ten o'clock in the morning local time.

"Boss Chen."

As soon as Chen Yuan and his friends walked out of the airport, they saw Gong Lei and Cui Liang holding signs and waving at them. It was not just them, but also many domestic fishing athletes who had arrived. Gong Lei had a strong talent for languages, was proficient in many languages, and had fished in many countries around the world, so he was very familiar with it, so he arrived at the transfer station first to receive them.

"How many people have arrived?"

Chen Yuan led everyone over quickly and asked.

"All the domestic athletes we received are here." Gong Lei pointed behind him.

Chen Yuan looked around and saw many athletes greeting him, some calling him Boss Chen, some calling him Chairman Chen, and Chen Yuan responded to them one by one.

After a rough look, including the group that had just arrived, there were about thirty people, or more than half of the people.

"I'm still short of two people. It will probably take more than 20 minutes."

"We are still three people short of the club. They will be here in ten minutes."

Basically every club had someone on the scene, and they were familiar with the flight information of their respective players. Of course, Chen Yuan also knew it, after all, he was responsible for leading the athletes.

"Wait a moment, it's still early. According to the plan, we can reach Debier today." Chen Yuan smiled faintly, and then asked Gong Lei where the smoking area was.

Debier actually refers to Delray Beach, a coastal city located in southeastern Florida. It has very beautiful beaches and active community activities. It is a city worth visiting.

The International Fishing Sports Association is right there, and the International Fishing Tackle Brand Super League will be held there. Chen Yuan can also take a look at the beach scenery and community culture here.

These are the areas that Yucheng Village can learn from.

It didn't take long before all the domestic athletes arrived. During this period, Chen Yuan and his team also met athletes from other countries and regions, who were all transiting here.

Even here there are no direct flights to Delray Beach. After all, Delray Beach is not a common major airport, so you need to go to Florida first and then transfer.

By the time they arrived in Debier, it was already past five in the afternoon, local time.

"It's been a long journey."

President Wang and his team had already received the news and were waiting at the hotel entrance to greet them. Many staff members were also there.

"finally reached."

"I'm so exhausted."

The athletes got off the bus one after another, sighing, and even Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

This trip was indeed a bit tiring. I changed several means of transportation and rode for more than 20 hours in total. It was really exhausting.

"Go to the hotel to rest first, and have dinner later. Don't do anything tonight. Adjust to the jet lag and get back into shape." President Wang reminded the athletes.

Jet lag is a very painful thing, and Chen Yuan and his team have been traveling continuously, almost for a whole day and night, so it is not easy to adapt to the jet lag.

Some people also react more strongly to jet lag, their daily routines become irregular, they suffer from insomnia and fatigue, and they may also have indigestion, difficulty concentrating, and feel drowsy.

Going into the competition in this state will definitely affect performance. Competitions have reserved time for rest and adjustment, and the competition will not start immediately after registration is completed.

There will be a one-day buffer period.

Moreover, they set off early, reporting on the first day, and have two days to rest and adjust, so adapting to the time difference should not be a problem.

After settling in, Chen Yuan rested for a while and didn't go out until dinner time in the evening.

"President, when can we go to see the stadium?" Chen Yuan asked President Wang during the meal. This is what all athletes want to know.

When going abroad to compete, you must know where the battlefield is and what the environment is like. Facing completely unfamiliar waters, it is impossible to directly participate in the game and there is no chance to adapt in advance, which will have some impact on your performance.

"The association has a unified arrangement. After the registration deadline, all athletes will be arranged to go together." President Wang said.

Chen Yuan nodded and asked no more questions.

Since the event committee has made arrangements, just follow them.

After a simple meal, Chen Yuan chatted with President Wang for a while and then returned to his room. Most of the other athletes had no appetite and went straight back to their rooms.

Maybe he wanted to have a good rest to adapt to the jet lag and adjust his state, or maybe he was in a foreign country where he was unfamiliar with the place and couldn't speak the language, so it was inconvenient to go out for a stroll, so he just stayed in the room.

"Can't sleep?"

After staying in the room for a while, Wang Heng and others came over.

"I was so busy traveling all day that I could hardly tell the difference between day and night. I was sometimes awake and sometimes asleep. I'm not sleepy at all now." Wang Heng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Xiao Yuwang and Wang Bin also had bitter smiles on their faces.

Cui Liang is not much better.

Only Gong Lei and He Haibin seemed to adapt well. They had traveled around the world fishing and visited many places in the past, so they had long been accustomed to this kind of time difference.

"By the way, you are all fishermen, and night fishing is the norm. The time difference should not be a big problem for you. You are not fake fishermen, are you?" Chen Yuan joked, picking up the cigarette box and spreading it around.

"That's different."

Wang Heng took the cigarette, shook his head and smiled, "Although we often go night fishing, and sometimes we stay at the reservoir for several days in a row, we also sleep when we are tired and fish when we are not tired, but after all, we are in China, there is no time difference problem, and the environment is familiar, so it is easy to adjust to the routine."

Xiaoyuwang and Wang Bin nodded vigorously.

Night fishing is the norm in China, but the time and environment were familiar, and there was no need to adapt like now. Moreover, they had been traveling all day, and their state was constantly alternating between sleeping and waking.

"Let's go out for a walk and see the night view of a foreign country." Chen Yuan suggested. Since they couldn't sleep and it was still early, they might as well go out for a walk.

Then he looked at Gong Lei, needing this translator to act as a guide.

"no problem."

Without Chen Yuan saying anything, Gong Lei understood what he meant and smiled immediately.

A few people walked out of the hotel and wandered around the nearby streets without any destination. They looked at anything they found interesting and asked Gong Lei for help from time to time.

It's a rare opportunity for me to come out, so I must buy some gifts to bring back. There are no competitions yet, so I can go shopping.

The group walked around until about 10 o'clock in the evening before returning to the hotel. Regardless of whether they were sleepy or not, they had to adjust to the local time difference.

By the next day, when we reported in, everyone was in much better condition, with better appetite and more spirits, and had basically adapted to the jet lag.

There was nothing to do that day, and everyone was free to do what they wanted, mainly to adjust to the time difference. Chen Yuan and his friends went out for a stroll and bought some things.

After the registration was closed, in the evening, the responsible persons, staff and athletes from thirteen countries and regions around the world all gathered for dinner.

During the event, the organizer mentioned the event process and tomorrow's schedule.

"Wow, the International Game Fish Association actually has a Fishing Hall of Fame and Museum?"

"I've been fishing for so many years and I've never heard of it."

Many anglers were surprised to hear that they would be visiting the Fishing Hall of Fame and Museum tomorrow.

They are considered experts in the fishing world, but after all these years of fishing, they have never heard of a fishing association, a museum, or a hall of fame.
