The fishing ground I opened has become a national leisure destination

Chapter 537 The Champion is No Longer in Doubt
When Wang Heng and his group finished their interviews and came to Chen Yuan and his group, everyone gave them the warmest applause.

"Brother Lei is awesome, and Lao Wang is great too."

Wang Bin appeared very excited, giving Gong Lei and Wang Heng a thumbs up, while also patting Cui Liang, He Haibin, and Xiao Yuwang on the shoulder and offering them water to show his appreciation for their hard work.

"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Yuan, with a bright smile on his face, thanked the team members and carried Chen's Fishing Gear to this position.

"Haha, I can only say that I have successfully completed my mission."

"Didn't disappoint Boss Chen!"

Gong Lei and Wang Heng also had bright smiles on their faces.

"Pack up, we're getting ready to head back to Debil." Chen Yuan patted them on the shoulder, not wanting to linger here too long, and urged them to hurry over there.

The competition isn't over yet, so it's not time to relax.

but.

"Brother Lei, you're ranked number one in lure fishing for bass. How about you try hand rod fishing later?" Chen Yuan asked Gong Lei on the way back to Debir.

"My results in hand rod fishing are just so-so; no matter how hard I try, I can't win the individual star award." Gong Lei smiled and waved his hands repeatedly. His task was the lure fishing competition; the hand rod competition was more about participation.

"Then let's stick to the old rules. You and Brother Liang will take turns participating, focusing on recreational fishing," Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"Our mission is complete, now we just need to make up the numbers." Gong Lei and Cui Liang laughed. Hand rod fishing wasn't their battlefield. If it weren't for the competition rules requiring five people to participate at the same time, they could all rest.

"I got the best result in bass fishing than I expected, and the subsequent rod and reel competitions became much easier." Little Fish King was very relaxed, truly feeling like he was going on a leisurely fishing trip.

Or rather, the whole team was quite relaxed.

Even with lure fishing for bass being their weak point, they still managed to secure first place in the top eight. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, their strength in rod and hand fishing makes the team championship almost a certainty.

"Old Wang, you can't slack off. Although you're fourth in the bass fishing competition and have a good chance of winning the individual star award, you have to hold onto your advantage. You can't let a sure thing slip away," He Haibin said with a smile, patting Wang Heng on the shoulder.

"We can't let our guard down. The competition isn't over yet, and this is the crucial final. We must give it our all and play it safe. We can't let the prize money that's about to be ours slip away," Wang Heng said with a smile.

"Haha, I have to give it my all for the bonus."

"I'll work hard for the last two days, then go back home and have a good time."

Everyone started dreaming of winning the championship.

Chen Yuan didn't say anything. He was happy to have achieved such results in the bass fishing competition, and he believed that Wang Heng and the others would adjust their mindset and not get carried away by a single victory.

In the evening, when they returned to Debil, Chairman Wang and other association members, as well as Zuo Xianyin and his group, including Deng Gang, all offered their congratulations.

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I should be able to congratulate you in advance."

Everyone knows the results of the main competition. Chen's Club was able to achieve such good results in the bass fishing competition. They only need to perform normally in the subsequent rod and hand fishing competition to win the championship.

"The competition isn't over yet, let's take it one game at a time. How did you guys do today?" Chen Yuan asked Deng Gang and his team about their results.

"Temporarily tied for first place in the qualifying rounds." Deng Gang smiled calmly.

Tianyuan Club's performance was already quite strong, consistently ranking in the top ten. Apart from the quarterfinals, they were among the best in the ranking matches.

Based on the current results, winning tomorrow's salmon and bream fishing competitions will give us at least a two-point lead, which is a normal performance. Ultimately, the bass fishing competition will be the deciding factor.

After all, Tianyuan Club's results in bass lure fishing are similar to those of Chen's Club, and they are considered weak in several competitions. Their best result in the previous knockout and semi-final rounds was only in the teens.

To win the ranking competition, the bass fishing competition still requires a lot of effort.

“The Hua family is currently ranked ninth. It is estimated that they will drop out of the top ten by the end, but securing an award should not be a problem,” Hua Xin said with a smile.

This result was within his expectations. Based on the results of the knockout and semi-final rounds, Huashi Club was only ranked outside the top ten in the rankings. Making it into the top ten in the rankings would be a win.

"We played well, and after two races we're currently ranked seventeenth. We might have a chance to win the ranking tournament bonus." Yi Zhe was very satisfied with today's results.

Based on previous results, he was at least in the twenties after the first two rounds. This time, he actually made it into the top twenty, which is a great improvement. In addition, with the advantage of fishing for salmon and bream, he may really have a chance to challenge for a ranking in the competition.

"We're all about participating," Jia Dong said with a carefree smile.

They are the least stressed.

Jia Dong Fishing Tackle was already at the bottom of the semi-finals, so there was little chance of winning in the ranking rounds. He was focused on participation and was hoping to improve his ranking by even a few places.

"Let's eat first, get some rest and prepare for tomorrow's competition. Let's persevere for two more days and return with a full harvest." After chatting for a while, Chairman Wang invited everyone to eat and rest.

The next day.

The international competition is held simultaneously in several ponds. The main competition consists of crucian carp and carp fishing, while the qualifying rounds are for salmon and bream fishing. The number of athletes is limited in both the main and qualifying rounds, and each pond can accommodate them.

"Focus on the game."

Chen Yuan didn't offer much pre-match encouragement; at this point, there was no need for further words, and he trusted Wang Heng and the others.

"I really didn't expect the Chen's Club to win the bass fishing championship." As the competition began, Chairman Wang chatted calmly with Chen Yuan.

Pole and pole competitions are a strong point for China, so I'm not worried at all.

"They really put in a lot of effort." Chen Yuan nodded with a smile. The results in the bass fishing competition were indeed beyond expectations. Although he really wanted to achieve this result, he was still pleasantly surprised when he actually got it.

“I received quite a few inquiries last night, and many people are interested in Chen’s fishing gear. What are your thoughts?” Chairman Wang changed the subject slightly.

Chen Yuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but quickly understood.

Chen's Club won the bass fishing championship, dominating both the team and individual teams, even suppressing local brands such as ARK and Elite.

The fact that world champions like Greg Hack, Mike Iacone, and Wieslogan failed to take first place not only demonstrates the strong skills of Chen's Club members but also proves the quality and effectiveness of Chen's fishing tackle brand.

This area is primarily known for lure fishing, so the market potential brought by such a powerful brand is considerable.

The clever ones already have ideas.

"What did the president say?" Chen Yuan asked after thinking for a moment.

"What can I say? I can only praise Chen's fishing gear and reveal that Chen's has not signed any agreement with the association and intends to develop overseas."

Chairman Wang chuckled, then added, "Oh, by the way, I also gave a few people your contact information. You don't mind, do you?"

"I'm too grateful to thank you enough," Chen Yuan laughed heartily.

He knew that Chairman Wang was helping him promote his work, and the reason why those people asked Chairman Wang first last night instead of going directly to him was probably to try to find out information indirectly. He guessed that they would be looking for him tonight.

It could also be tomorrow night.

After all, it's still the competition period, so we should try not to disrupt the rhythm of the competition.

"There's one more thing. I've already coordinated with the domestic side. As long as the Chen's Club performs normally, it will definitely be featured on the top news platforms. You can make the arrangements in advance," Chairman Wang said with a smile.

"Thank you, Chairman." Chen Yuan was even more delighted upon hearing this.

Compared to targeting the international market with lure fishing, the domestic market is Chen's fishing tackle's main strategic focus. Once Chen's fishing tackle can reach that platform, its authority and influence will inevitably rise to a higher level.

With endorsements and other promotional activities, Chen's Fishing Tackle is expected to experience an unprecedented boom in the market. "Let's watch the competition first."

Chairman Wang smiled; he was simply reminding Chen Yuan to prepare early.

The competition continued, but Chen Yuan paid no attention to the qualifying rounds. Instead, his gaze fell on the main competition's crucian carp fishing area, where the sounds of rods being set off could be heard from time to time, along with the occasional pleasant sound of wind.

Looking at the results section of the competition screen, Chen's Fishing Tackle was unsurprisingly in first place, and Wang Heng's name was also in the most prominent position in the individual rankings section.

"duo~"

As the final whistle blew, the first match came to an end. Chen's Club held onto its advantage and secured the first victory. During halftime, the players were quite relaxed.

"If we keep this pace, we can win the second round too. As long as we win two rounds, and don't make any mistakes in the last round with a limit of 30 fish, we will win the carp fishing competition."

Wang Heng reminded him during the break.

Following the advice of Gong Lei and Cui Liang, Wang Heng naturally took the lead in the lure fishing for bass competition.

"no problem."

Wang Bin and He Haibin responded while drinking water.

"I'll cover for you guys." Little Fish King chuckled. Although he didn't make it into the top three, he didn't slack off either. With him covering for the team, their performance would be guaranteed.

The second match started quickly. ARK did pose a challenge, but in the end, they won thanks to Wang Heng's high-frequency rhythm.

The third limited-edition competition was even more thrilling. In the end, Wang Heng narrowly won first place by taking the lead with two fish in the net. However, even if he had come in second, it wouldn't have mattered, as he could still have won the overall points competition for crucian carp.

The afternoon matches started on time as usual.

Compared to the crucian carp fishing competition, Wang Heng and his team faced the greatest challenges in the carp fishing competition. Whether it was the knockout stage or the semi-finals, they lost every time. If the three matches were scored separately, Wang Heng and his team would not be able to get three points.

However, the results of individual events are determined by the total points of three rounds, and Chen's Club ultimately won the carp fishing championship.

"Congratulations to you all today!"

After the carp fishing competition ended and they packed up their fishing gear, Greg Hack and his friends came to congratulate them.

Yesterday, the bass fishing competition ended. Although they offered their congratulations, there are still four more competitions to come, including crucian carp and common carp fishing, so they still have the desire to compete.

However, after losing the competition where he had the best chance to catch up in the total points, his hopes of reversing the situation and winning the championship were almost zero, and he even considered giving up.

They failed to win when they had a chance to win, so how can they win when they have little chance? And even if they win the next two games, as long as Chen's Club doesn't fall out of the top two, they will still be the champions.

"The competition isn't over yet, there's still a chance." Gong Lei's words were rather official, since Wang Heng and the others couldn't understand his fluent English anyway.

They are quite modest.

The interview session followed.

"The Chen Clan should have no problem winning the championship. I won't keep an eye on things here anymore. I'll take them to the ranking matches," Chairman Wang said to Chen Yuan.

After the semi-finals, the main competition schedule was actually arranged first. The ranking competition required travel back and forth not only in the second round of the semi-finals, but also in the last bass fishing competition.

The competition needs to be moved up tomorrow so I can rush back here for the awards ceremony.

The main competition schedule is much better. We can go back to eat and rest now, and we don't need to travel tomorrow. We can just look forward to the awards ceremony after the competition.

"Ok."

Chen Yuan agreed and offered his blessings to Deng Gang and the others, hoping for their triumphant return.

evening.

After dinner, with time to spare, the club members gathered together and chatted, creating a very pleasant atmosphere. It was the most relaxing time during the competition.

Given the current situation, it's practically a foregone conclusion that Chen's Club will win the championship.

Therefore, Chen Yuan could share some information in advance to make arrangements.

"Two pieces of good news to share."

Chen Yuan said with a smile, "The first piece of news is that the domestic side attaches great importance to this international competition. So, if we can win the championship tomorrow, our results will be reported on the top news program at seven o'clock."

"Seven o'clock? The most prestigious news platform? Is that what you mean, Mr. Chen?"

Upon hearing this news, Wang Heng and the others were stunned for a moment, then stared at Chen Yuan in disbelief.

"It's the one you're thinking of. Chairman Wang has already made the arrangements."

Chen Yuan smiled and nodded in affirmation, "How about it? This level of treatment is no less than that of foreign media flocking to you, right? You're starting to feel like a sports star, aren't you?"

"That's amazing."

"I never imagined that one day I would appear in this kind of news as a fisherman."

"I'm going to make something of myself."

"I'm going to tell my parents that their son has made something of himself and is now on TV."

After receiving Chen Yuan's affirmative response, everyone in the room was quite excited. It was the 7 o'clock news, a news program with the highest viewership, greatest influence, and most authority in the country.

Anyone who gets featured in a sports event is a sports star.

They will also reach that level.

This is completely different from the previous promotional channels for fishing competitions, and will represent a qualitative change.

"You'll most likely be interviewed by domestic media after the match, so you can think about what to say in advance so you won't be caught off guard tomorrow," Chen Yuan reminded you with a smile.

The reason for suppressing this news was twofold: firstly, it was uncertain whether the Chen family could win the championship, and secondly, it was to avoid putting too much pressure on the team members.

It's different now.

The two championships are practically a sure thing, so it's perfectly acceptable to start preparing in advance.

"I need to think about this carefully. This might be the most glorious moment of my life, so I can't be careless."

"Take your time to think it over. I'll first inform my parents, wife, and children, and then all my relatives and friends. It's rare for me to be so proactive."

Everyone pulled out their phones, not caring about time zones or roaming restrictions. Their moment of glory was about to arrive, so why not share it?

There will be plenty of bragging rights on social media then.

Let those who think fishing is a waste of time and say that fishing ruins one's life take a good look. Fishing can also lead to a successful career and can bring glory to the country.

"You can think about this slowly. There's another thing. After winning the bass fishing competition yesterday, quite a few people want to talk to Chen's Fishing Tackle. What do you think about this? What are your thoughts?"

When Chen Yuan brought up the second matter, he looked at Gong Lei and Cui Liang at the same time.
