The fishing ground I opened has become a national leisure destination

Chapter 539 Post-match summary and prize money distribution

"Go for it. Now that we've reached a mutual agreement, don't hold back. Talk it out however you need, and just ask if you need anything. Chen's Fishing Gear and even Yucheng Village are your support." Chen Yuan patted Gong Lei and Cui Liang on the shoulder, showing his absolute trust.

"it is good."

Gong Lei and the other man didn't say much, only nodding emphatically with a "good" – that was the best response they could give.

They didn't have a deep conversation there, but exchanged contact information and agreed to meet privately to discuss it in detail later.

Next came the time for exchanging pleasantries with the organizers. Back at the hotel, dinner was another round of socializing, with everyone congratulating and flattering each other.

By the time everything was over, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

"I wonder when the results of the match will be on the news." On the way back to their room, Wang Heng and his team were still excited, thinking about today's interview and the broadcast on the top news platform.

"According to domestic time, it should be tonight's episode."

"Then we must make sure to notify them properly."

"Even if they're staying up all night, we have to remind them that this is the most glorious moment of their lives, and if they don't show off now, when will they?"

Everyone was excited, especially Wang Heng.

As a double champion, he naturally shines the brightest, receiving the most interviews from both foreign and domestic media. This time, he may truly be able to create a star.

"I really envy you guys. Unlike us, we don't even know if we'll make it onto the screen after just a few words in an interview."

"Our own media are somewhat better; they at least give us some face. But these foreign media don't even bother to pretend; they just ignore us."

"Without further ado, it's your turn to show your support."

Other club members expressed their envy, and those who were closer, such as Feng Jin, clamored for Chen Yuan and his group to arrange a celebration and have a great time that night.

With a hefty bonus and the chance to be featured on top-tier news platforms, it's a win-win situation for both fame and fortune. He might just become a sports star overnight, so we have to take advantage of this opportunity, or we might not have another chance.

We agreed to become fishing enthusiasts together, but you ended up becoming a fishing star.

"Haha, all arranged."

Chen Yuan naturally wouldn't refuse, and with a wave of his hand, he was about to go out to celebrate.

Chairman Wang and his group have arrived.

"President."

Chen Yuan called out with a smile, and the surrounding athletes greeted him warmly.

"Want to go out and have some fun?" Chairman Wang replied with a smile, looking around and asking with a smile.

"The Chen family club won two championships in a row. They're a nouveau riche. If we don't take advantage of them now, when will we?"

"President, let's call our friends in the association to have some fun together."

They've played together many times, and these guys don't stand on ceremony. They just go for it without any beating around the bush, and they even call on everyone else.

"It's good to relax after the competition, but please be careful while playing. There are many of you, so you need to be even more careful," Chairman Wang reminded everyone about safety.

After all, when you're in a foreign land, everything is unfamiliar.

"clear."

"Ok."

Everyone around was laughing and responding.

"Please wait two minutes, I have two things to say."

Knowing that everyone wanted to go out and have fun, Chairman Wang didn't mince words and went straight to the point: "The competition organizers have only given us two days to return, which means we need to leave the day after tomorrow."

"If you want to stay, you'll have to pay for it yourself. The tournament organizers will no longer be responsible for any issues. You need to pay attention to your return time. Each club should prepare a return plan and submit it to Secretary Li. CAA will handle the coordination."

That's understandable.

The event has ended, and as the event organizer, it's impossible for them to continue to handle the reception. Giving them two days as a buffer is already very kind.

It's estimated that the organizers considered that everyone had come from afar and hadn't had a chance to explore properly outside of the competition, so they specially set aside two days to promote local tourism and culture.

"Don't worry, President, we will take care of things at the club."

"We will make the arrangements."

Deng Gang, Jia Dong, and the others spoke one after another with smiles.

They are the club's managers, and the people they bring are there to play for them; their travel arrangements are definitely made by them.

"The second thing."

Chairman Wang smiled and continued, "The prize money should arrive in your account tomorrow."

"Haha, there's no rush."

Chen Yuan and the others laughed heartily.

Only three out of ten domestic teams can win prize money, with Chen's Club winning the most, taking home hundreds of thousands of US dollars in both team and individual championships.

This money is definitely not going to disappear, which is why Feng Jin and the others asked Chen Yuan to make arrangements.

"The organizing committee will be holding a post-competition debriefing meeting tomorrow. You need to have time to attend with me. Feel free to share any thoughts or suggestions you may have about this competition," Chairman Wang said, pulling Chen Yuan aside.

"Okay," Chen Yuan nodded in agreement.

This is the inaugural Global Fishing Tackle Brand Super League, which has brought together more than ten countries and regions. After the competition, there will definitely be a review to listen to the opinions of fishing associations from various countries in order to make further improvements.

Chen Yuan just didn't expect the chairman to ask him to attend.

"Alright, I won't keep you any longer. Have a good celebration." After finishing his business, Chairman Wang smiled and said goodbye before leaving.

Chen Yuan wanted to invite them to join, but Chairman Wang declined.

As for the association staff, they won't interfere; anyone who wants to go can go.

This was definitely the most fun I've had here. There was no pressure before the game, only the joy afterward, so my mood was naturally different.

The group didn't return to the hotel to rest until the early hours of the morning.

The next day.

Gong Lei and Cui Liang left early, while Chen Yuan and Chairman Wang went to the International Fishing Association to attend the summary meeting, and Wang Heng and the others stayed at the hotel.

The remaining clubs have already prepared to return home, and CAA staff are coordinating the arrangements.

"I suggest that the semi-finals should not be held in two rounds. It would be unfair to those who participated in the second round of the semi-finals but failed to make it into the main tournament. Playing more matches would be more exhausting."

"Or give some preferential treatment to the teams that make it to the second round of the playoffs but are eliminated in the main competition, such as not having to start on the same starting line as the teams in the first round, and directly competing for the top eight positions in the ranking competition."

"I suggest that the individual star award could be further subdivided, instead of a comprehensive award. By subdividing it into individual events, athletes will give their all in every competition, making the events even more exciting."

"As for the prize money, the current comprehensive individual star award has been broken down into smaller parts, which not only increases the number of winners to encourage athletes to participate more actively, but also ensures that the competition is exciting."

……

At the debriefing meeting, representatives from fishing associations from various countries spoke enthusiastically, and even Chen Yuan offered some suggestions on the competition format and schedule, expressing his belief that international competitions will continue to improve and become more comprehensive.

The debriefing meeting lasted a long time, not even finishing in the morning. After lunch and a break, it continued for quite some time in the afternoon. When Chen Yuan returned to the hotel to rest in the evening, he also began to make arrangements for his return trip.

“We need to stay here to establish connections. Mr. Chen, you two go back first.” Before Gong Lei and Cui Liang had even returned to the hotel, Chen Yuan called to inquire.

It's obvious that the two of them had arranged to meet with some people today, and they were going to stay here to expand the sales channels for Chen's Fishing Tackle Lure brand.

Chen Yuan didn't ask any questions in detail. He gave all the negotiation power to the two of them and treated it as a business trip paid for by the company. He only reminded them to contact the company when they returned to China to film a promotional video for the lure fishing endorsement.

"Brother Lei and Brother Liang will stay here, we'll go back to China first." After arranging things for the Chen's Club staff, Chen Yuan communicated with Chairman Wang and Zuo Xianjin before booking their plane tickets.

"Brother Da Bin and Brother Xiao Bin, if you ever want to join Chen's Fishing Tackle, you're welcome anytime." After booking the plane tickets, Chen Yuan made that promise to Wang Bin and He Haibin again.

When Chen's Fishing Gear was preparing to settle in the area, he had asked the club members, but Wang Bin and He Haibin had their own jobs and did not join.

Now that Gong Lei and Cui Liang have accepted the invitation to serve as heads of the lure fishing brand, if the market opens up and sales become booming, club members who are interested in joining can also do so.

"Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Chen. I'll discuss it with my family when I get back," Wang Bin and He Haibin said with smiles.

They were quite tempted, but there were too many factors to consider when changing careers in middle age, so they had to go home and discuss it.

Chen Yuan wasn't in a hurry; at least the Chen family's fishing gear provided a guarantee.

"The happiest moment is yet to come."

Chen Yuan smiled broadly and said, "The international tournament prize money has arrived in my account. We can distribute the prize money now. As for the amount..."

After a slight pause, Chen Yuan waved his hand generously, "Pay in full."

Because it is a fishing tackle brand league, all athletes participate as clubs, so the prize money is directly deposited into the clubs' accounts and then distributed between the clubs and their contracted anglers.

It's unclear how other clubs and their contracted anglers agree to their terms, but Chen Yuan is the one who calls the shots at Chen's Club, and Chen Yuan has never been a stingy person.

Compared to the prize money, the brand promotion and enhancement of Chen's Fishing Tackle is the most valuable.

"Boss Chen is arrogant and domineering."

"I love you, Boss Chen."

"May Mr. Chen have a bride every day and be a groom every night."

"Eight times a night~"

Upon hearing about the full prize money, the group of guys got excited, and even the middle-aged He Haibin, in his usual irreverent way, jokingly flattered them.

"The club doesn't take a cut, but you guys have to decide how to distribute it." This is the old rule; Chen Yuan doesn't make the decision directly but lets the members distribute it privately.

"We've already discussed it."

Sure enough, Wang Heng said, "The prize money will be distributed according to the team's contribution to the competition. The team prize of 300,000 US dollars will be divided into six parts. Brother Xiaoyu Wang will take 10%, Brother Liang will take 15%, and Brother Bin and Brother Lei will each take 20%."

In terms of contribution to the competition, Little Fish King did indeed contribute the least, or even none at all. He never made it into the top three in either the rod and reel competition or the lure fishing competition, so it's reasonable that he only accounted for 10%.

Cui Liang made contributions, but only in lure fishing competitions, and his contributions were not the greatest, so it is reasonable for him to account for 15%.

As for Wang Bin and He Haibin, both are key players in the hand rod competition, and Gong Lei is the number one lure angler, so it's no problem for all three of them to take 20%.

just.

"You're taking 15%?"

After deducting five out of the six bonuses, 15% is still left. Wang Heng shouldn't only have this much.

He was an absolute mainstay in the hand rod competition, and his contributions in the lure fishing competition were also enormous. In the end, it was even his last-minute victory that enabled him to complete the Grand Slam of five events and achieve such a dazzling result.

Logically, no one would object to Wang Heng taking 30%, just like in previous club matches, but this time he only took 15%.

"No no no."

Wang Heng continued waving his hands and chuckling, "This last bonus is for the club. Half of it will be reserved for the other players so we can all enjoy it together, and the remaining ten percent will be used as a club development fund."

"You guys really intend to keep 10% for the club?" Chen Yuan laughed.

It's not surprising that those who didn't participate can receive prize money; that's how it's been done before. After all, the club is a big family, so let's have more friendship and less competition.

But the club has reserved 10%, which means they are strictly adhering to the contract.

“The club also needs to operate,” Wang Heng said with a smile. They were adamant that the club should keep 10% of the prize money as operating expenses.

They usually receive a salary, but Chen Yuan would celebrate extravagantly whenever they achieved good results, which involved considerable spending.

"The club needs to be operated, but compared to the value your achievements bring to Chen's Fishing Tackle, this operating cost is nothing at all," Chen Yuan said with a shake of his head and a smile.

He was prepared to distribute the full amount, but he couldn't resist the pressure and had to keep 10% of the team bonus.

just.

"You didn't allocate any team bonuses?" Chen Yuan asked Wang Heng curiously.

After the six bonuses were distributed, Wang Heng was left with nothing.

"Hehe, I have a personal star award, and the prize money belongs to me personally, so I won't participate in the distribution." Wang Heng chuckled; the personal award was quite substantial.

He then added, "Of course, 10% of this will be set aside as a club operating fund, and I will also use 20% of the bonuses to thank the players by topping up their membership cards."

Although individual awards and team awards are not closely related, even if your team's performance is at the bottom, you can still compete for an individual award as long as you have the ability.

But Wang Heng did not keep this honor to himself.

This was the result of the members' discussion, and Chen Yuan couldn't say anything, so he immediately transferred the money according to the proportions they allocated.

Overall, the members of the Chen's Club returned with a full load of goodies.

Wang Heng alone received over 200,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to more than one million yuan. This year's windfall is several million yuan in bonuses, which is more than some business owners earn in a year.

Gong Lei and his team also reaped considerable rewards. The team bonus, plus Wang Heng's gratitude, even though it would be directly recharged and spent, still amounted to money. In total, they earned approximately $100,000, or several hundred thousand dollars.

Cui Liang, the Little Fish King, can also earn hundreds of thousands.

Even members who didn't participate can share $15,000, which is more than $10,000 per person. Who wouldn't be happy?

Even the Chen Family Club and Chen Yuan Fishing Ground had some success.

Not only will Wang Heng leave 10% of the two awards as an operating fund, but he will also recharge everyone with hundreds of thousands of yuan, all of which will be generated as revenue in the future.

Most importantly, it established the authority and influence of the Chen's Fishing Tackle brand, directly landing on the top news platform in China, which is of immeasurable value.

"Brother Wang."

After the bonuses were distributed, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Chen Yuan called Wang Heng aside and brought up an idea he had been having for a while: "I would like to invite you to be the spokesperson for Chen's Fishing Gear."

"Me? Endorsing Chen's Fishing Gear?" Wang Heng was somewhat surprised.

“This is an idea I’ve had for a while: to leverage the CAA tournament to build influence, and then promote the brand. Brother Wang’s achievements are more than enough,” Chen Yuan nodded.

A Grand Slam winner in a top-tier tournament, a double champion in international competitions, and featured on the country's top news platforms, she is absolutely worthy of being an endorser even without the Masters Tournament title.

Besides, the Masters tournament hasn't even started yet, so who dares to say that Wang Heng can't win the championship?

"I don't care. Since Boss Chen dared to approach me, what am I afraid of?" Wang Heng didn't refuse and agreed without even asking for details.
