A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

The fishing activity in Chapter 3 became a huge hit!

The online event interface is ready.

Qi Yue then began promoting the idea in the city.

He printed a lot of flyers and then paid some bright-eyed college students to distribute them on the street.

At the same time, I added many experienced anglers as friends in the wild fishing area, told them about it, and assured them that the event was real and effective.

In addition, he also opened an official account for Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area on Douyin (TikTok), recorded videos, and promoted the fishing activities.

The content is as follows:

Million-dollar prize! Golden Arowana fishing event!

At 8 a.m. on the day of the event, fish fry were released into the reservoir. At 10 a.m., 10 marked golden arowanas were released into the reservoir.

Anyone who catches a golden arowana can redeem a prize of 10 yuan!
Fishing hours are from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Tickets need to be purchased offline to participate. It costs 40 yuan per hour, and each time slot is 2 hours long. You can buy up to 6 time slots.

Fish for 12 hours and get a discount, only 400 yuan.

You can take all the other fish you catch with you.

News of the event spread quickly and went viral in fishing groups throughout the city.

There are quite a few people who enjoy fishing these days.

Especially middle-aged men who are getting older.

When the body can't handle the physical exertion, it starts seeking stimulation elsewhere.

Fishing is undoubtedly the most addictive activity for them.

The moment the news of the event was released, the fishing groups went wild.

"Is this event real? You get 10 yuan for catching a golden arowana? Are you sure it's 10 yuan? And not just Happy Beans?"

"Holy crap, they took all the fish they caught? I've never seen a fishing spot like this before, the owner must be going to go bankrupt!"

"They own a large scenic area; they're not short of money!"

"10 yuan for one fish! Where is that? I want to sign up!"

"Wow, they're releasing fish right here? Seriously?!"

"This is definitely fake!"

"They have a scenic area there; they can't just run away. How could they possibly fake it? They're simply rich!"

There was a lot of controversy in the group.

But regardless, the event has gained popularity.

At the same time, many people searched for Qiyue's scenic spots on the app and called to inquire about the event.

Li Ya and Wang Xiu answered the phone, explained the details of the event, and ensured that the event was genuine and reliable.

Upon hearing this, the fishermen became even more excited.

"It's actually true! Goodness, a reward of 100 million! I've never seen an event like this before!"

"My wife always says I lose money fishing. If I caught a golden arowana, wouldn't I be set for life?"

"I want to sign up! I absolutely have to go to this event!"

"The boss is so generous!"

Fishing is a magical activity. People who don't like it don't understand the fun of fishing, while people who like it are very addicted to it and feel like ants are crawling on their bodies if they can't fish.

The barrier to entry in this industry is not high, but it is a large circle after all, so there are low-end and high-end ways of doing things.

There are many fishing ponds and illegal fishing pits nowadays.

Fishing pond owners impose various restrictions and don't have many activities in order to make money.

But Qi Yue is different this time.

Not to mention that you can take the fish you catch with you, anyone who catches a golden arowana can directly exchange it for a 10 yuan bonus!
Which angler wouldn't be tempted by this?

This is definitely the event of my dreams!
Because the flyers and group advertisements all contained information about the scenic area's official account, the number of people paying attention to the scenic area quickly increased.

Many people inquired about the veracity of this story in the comments section.

Many people also raised questions directly.

"Boss, is this event real? A million-dollar prize and tickets for only 400?"

"Is this just a gimmick, or is there no Golden Dragon Fish at all? Don't try to scam people!"

"This is going to result in a complete loss!"

"If it's fake, that would be hilarious. People who try to attract attention like this should be banned long ago."

Qi Yue is the one who runs the official account for the scenic area.

Seeing so many people questioning the authenticity of the event, he went directly to a notary office to have it notarized, and then posted the notarized information in the video.

In short, the event was genuine and reliable.
Upon seeing the notarized information, these doubts immediately dissipated.

"Holy crap, it's actually real! That's amazing!"

"Is this boss that rich?"

"The entire scenic area belongs to him, so 100 million is nothing to him!"

"Let's go, sign up! I want to sign up!"

This event can only be registered for offline.

Unfortunately, the platform's commission rate is quite high, usually around 23%.

If you register online and pay a fee, then more than 4000 yuan will be deducted from the 2 yuan, and after taxes, the money will finally reach Qi Yue.

It's better to register offline; at least there's no platform commission.

Anyway, all the money for advertising has already been spent.

Soon, people came to the scenic area to register, buy tickets to participate in the event, and also visited the reservoir where the fishing competition was being held.

Upon seeing the reservoir in the scenic area, the anglers were quite satisfied.

This reservoir is beautifully constructed and has a good ecosystem.

It's much prettier than those muddy puddles at fishing spots.

It is a tourist attraction after all.

Some people asked Qi Yue if he could fish here on weekdays, since fishing here is a very comfortable experience.

Qi Yue said that fishing activities are cyclical, and to ensure the reservoir remains clean and beautiful, daily fishing services will not be available to the public for the time being.

Hearing him say that, the fisherman was somewhat disappointed.

There is a limit to the number of fishing spots available at Qiyue Reservoir.

He made a simple fishing spot plan, which involved dividing the area along the reservoir and assigning it numbers.

A total of 500 fishing spots have been planned.

With 500 fishing spots, it's already considered a very large reservoir.

The anglers were very enthusiastic.

About three days before the event started, the registration was full, and all time slots were sold out.

There are also many anglers who come to the scenic area every day.

Upon seeing Qi Yue and his group, they enthusiastically offered suggestions:

"Boss, let's start the game soon, I can't wait any longer!"

"Why do we have to wait two more days?!"

"Can we start the competition earlier? This reservoir is so beautiful, it would be a shame not to fish here at least once!"

"Can I still register? Can I add one more group? I want to register!"

"How about we start today?"

The anglers could hardly contain their excitement.

This activity is like picking up money; who could resist?

Moreover, the event continues to gain momentum, with more and more people learning about it and wanting to participate.

But the registration limit has been reached, and there's really nothing we can do.

The reservoir can no longer accommodate more people.

Qi Yue was thinking to himself that if the golden dragonfish weren't all caught on the first day, he would hold the event again on the second day.

Holding the event for a few more days will also generate more popularity points and ticket revenue.

To ensure the success of the event, Qi Yue also hired several people from the market to serve as security personnel and supervisors.

Each person is paid 200 yuan per day, and all they need to do is patrol the reservoir during the activity period. Two meals are provided, one for lunch and one for dinner.

So people who come to work are all happy to do so.

The ticket office at the scenic area has been unusually busy these past few days.

Every day, many people come to buy tickets to participate in fishing activities.

However, tickets for the event were sold out, and only tickets for sightseeing were left.

A viewing ticket costs 30 yuan per person and can be used unlimited times. Many people bought the viewing ticket even though they couldn't participate, just so they could see the game live.

And a lot of people buy them.

Fishing has become incredibly popular!
