As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up
Chapter 391 - Chapter 391 Chapter 291 The Competition Begins_2

Chapter 391: Chapter 291: The Competition Begins_2 Chapter 391: Chapter 291: The Competition Begins_2 The rules haven’t changed much, mainly with quite a few journalists joining us at sea for random interviews and reports.

Secondly, whereas the competition originally depended on the weight of the catch, it has now been changed to the total value of the fish.

It’s like those international Golden Spearfish contests, where the more valuable the fish you catch, the greater the probability of winning; quantity has become a secondary consideration.

Think about it, no matter how heavy, it’s just Fishing Man showing off.

But if the first-place fish is worth over a million or even several million, wouldn’t the next tournament be even more spectacular than this one?

In time, the Golden Spearfish fishing competition may become a signature event in Modu.

As for whether some will see how profitable fishing is and buy boats to set sail, what does that have to do with the organizers and those shipbuilders sponsoring the ads?

Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo exchanged a glance and instantly saw the business opportunity within.

“Ah Cheng, if we can get a good ranking this time, why don’t we start our own fishing gear brand and open a factory?”

Chu Mingcheng raised an eyebrow, not expecting Jiang Luoluo to be considering fishing gear; he even thought she might suggest opening a shipyard!

Of course, starting a shipyard would not be smart, but foolish.

“It’s a good idea, but we don’t have the energy to take on something like that at night!”

Branding and such takes time, and the only trouble with starting our own factory or finding OEMs is that the technology and quality must meet standards.

Even if it couldn’t match Shimano or Daiwa, it shouldn’t be far behind.

“Of course, we don’t have the time, but my dad does! Although he still has a small business, it’s nothing compared to what it used to be, plus he’s idle.”

“All we need to do is build the brand, and leave the rest alone; let him handle the production side. Of course, if your uncle and aunt are interested, they can join.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Mingcheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “You really plan on throwing your dad under the bus, huh? Uncle could have retired in a few years to enjoy peace and quiet, yet with your scheme, he’ll end up slaving away for us.”

“And what exactly could my dad even do, manage the cafeteria in the factory?”

They were both only children, and no matter how busy their parents were or how much they earned, it would all end up theirs eventually. If they started a factory and worked it for a few more decades, it would indeed be like working for them.

Jiang Luoluo realized this too and covered her mouth to giggle: “What a great money-making opportunity, they could just work for another thirty years, then our children can take over when they grow up.”

Chu Mingcheng gave a thumbs up, well-played, even the kids were accounted for.

Does this mean their generation just gets to lie back?

The speeches on stage were ongoing, and for the time being, the two focused their attention there.

Now they were talking about the live rankings.

Every time a boat returned, dock workers would weigh and evaluate the catch on site, and once the value of all qualifying fish from the ship was calculated, the leaderboard would be immediately updated.

The person whose fish sell for the highest price will win the championship of this Golden Spearfish competition.

For this purpose, the organizers even set up a large screen at the port, so contestants and passersby could check the rankings at any time.

Additionally, contestants who downloaded the event app and logged in could check basic information about each boat and the leaderboard.

Someone like Chu Mingcheng with a small mobile base station on his boat could check the rankings at any time while at sea.

After a few leaders finished speaking, the host announced new competition rewards.

Originally, there were prizes only for the top three, but this time an additional seven spots were added, meaning ranks one to ten could win prizes.

The prize money for the top three changed, with first place going from half a million to one million, second place six hundred thousand, and third place three hundred thousand; the rest remained unchanged.

Following that, fourth and fifth place, the prize money was two hundred thousand, with no additional rewards.

From sixth to tenth place, the uniform prize was one hundred thousand, and all the above ranks received certificates and trophies, also without additional rewards.

From eleventh to fiftieth, there were also small rewards, such as a few thousand yuan, or maybe discounts at the trading market and so on.

This was purely a consolation prize, and most people wouldn’t value it much.

After listening, Chu Mingcheng thought more competitions like this should be held domestically.

Not only limited to Golden Spearfish fishing contests but also deserted island survival competitions, hunting and fishing contests, and so on.

Chu Mingcheng had no interest in deserted island survival stuff; he didn’t have a masochistic streak, and wasn’t cuddling his fragrant and soft wife every night pleasant?

But if there were big hunting and fishing contests, he was entirely confident he could take first place.

There indeed are Mermaid contests domestically, but they’re low-key without much attention. It’s a pity that for now, one would have to go abroad for big hunting and fishing contests.

After the host finished, there was actually a girl group performance, as a part of the opening ceremony.

In Modu, well, everyone knows what it’s like–any occasion could merit a celebrity performance.

Regarding old customs like going to sea and worshipping Mazu, with so many TV media filming, it really wasn’t suitable to carry those out.

Feudal superstitions can’t be promoted!

After the performance ended, the contestants started boarding the boats under the guidance of the staff.

Some journalists took the opportunity to conduct interviews, naturally with the more famous figures like Master Deng.

They asked mostly about perspectives on the competition and whether they were confident about winning.

News media like this wouldn’t ask tricky questions, unlike entertainment media.

Therefore, some internet celebrities eagerly wanting interviews were largely ignored.

Chu Mingcheng, holding Jiang Luoluo’s hand, hurried to the special passage with Chen Yang and others, then boarded the boat at the dock, ready for action.
