Chapter 507: Chapter 232: Start the Auction

Suzuki Jiro received a call from the partner company.

Coming from the waters near the North Carolina Fishing Ground, a top-notch Bluefin Tuna weighing 1617 pounds was successfully landed, and Suzuki Jiro was invited to the subsequent commercial auction.

What an international joke, the Bluefin that Suzuki Jiro had, weighing over 800 pounds, was already considered a giant. Yet its weight was only half that of another fish.

If a peer captured footage of this record-breaking fish, all the money and effort he had previously spent would become a total joke.

"Mr. Yongjie, book me the fastest ticket to the United States!" Suzuki Jiro greeted his assistant, and, having just returned from a trip to the United States, he booked another flight.

....

The repercussions of this giant fish continued to spread.

However, for Lin Yang, the person involved, life gradually stabilized.

With nothing else pressing, he and Yue’er went around enjoying themselves.

After the thrill of sea fishing, they went freshwater lure fishing. The sparsely populated United States had abundant resources for wild fishing, and within a few days, they comfortably caught various dogfish and sea bass, with successful catches everywhere they went.

In that week, a lot had happened, starting with Lin Yang’s solo fishing video getting certified, allowing him to set a new world record for another fish species.

The second event concerned the aftermath for Gao Bai and the three of them, as well as the three boat captains.

Lin Yang had underestimated how seriously these foreigners took such matters.

Within three business days of the complaint being filed, someone had contacted both Captain Harry and Zhang Lin, who was part of the fishing guide company, and finally, Lin Yang verified the whole incident.

After confirmation, a decision was made within 24 hours.

The three anglers, including Gao Bai, had their membership certifications cancelled, and they would never be eligible for reapplication.

The loss for the captains of those three boats was even more significant. The association imposed fines exceeding 50,000 US dollars and restricted their eligibility to participate in the tuna quota lottery for two years.

This was only slightly better than revoking their captains’ licenses outright, a devastating loss.

On the eighth day after Lin Yang’s record-breaking Bluefin catch, Captain Harry, who was specifically coordinating with Lin Yang, called again.

All preparations were completed, and the auction of the tuna would be held the next day at a subsidiary venue of the fisheries company, inviting him to attend and observe.

Hearing this good news, Lin Yang immediately grew excited.

He was no stranger to the insights of fishing, but attending an auction in person was unprecedented for him!

With a bit of a peasant mindset, once Lin Yang confirmed the venue allowed live streaming equipment, he was overjoyed.

Many people could live stream fishing, but live streaming an international auction of a top-notch Bluefin Tuna was an entirely unexplored topic online.

Thinking this, he immediately posted a live stream announcement on his streaming account platform.

Tomorrow morning at 9:30 AM (US time), he would live stream the tuna auction, inviting all those interested in the selling price of the fish to reserve the live stream in advance.

During his time in the United States, Lin Yang regularly went live whenever he had a chance to fish in freshwater areas.

Compared to catching the big fish, people were more curious about how much it could be worth, and Lin Yang shared his thoughts with his viewers, though he did not disclose the exact price.

Now, as the invited person streaming the tuna auction, the content was too explosive. Curious about how much the fish was worth? Watch the live stream to witness the final price realization!

....

Early the next morning, Lin Yang got up early and got ready.

For an auction of this level, although it couldn’t compare with Christie’s or some major international auctions, as a guest attending in person, there were basic dress requirements.

But this was no problem for him. With Yue’er as his little assistant, just supervising key aspects, Lin Yang changed into a suit that instantly elevated his demeanor—efficient, wise, and vibrant.

The auction officially started after 9 AM, but entry to the auction began earlier, at around 8 AM. Lin Yang’s scheduled itinerary required them to arrive even earlier, at 7:40 AM, right at the auction venue’s entrance.

It goes without saying, but the security measures were quite solid. Two Caucasian security personnel at the door swept him with a metal detector, checked his live streaming equipment and the pass hanging around his neck, before letting him through.

More than a dozen buyers had already arrived early and were quietly talking with accompanying staff members.

When they saw Lin Yang enter, they paid him no mind, as Asian faces were fairly common, and European and American tycoons were indifferent to tuna, with most top-quality Bluefin Tuna ending up in the Asian market.

Lin Yang didn’t sit in the VIP seats but moved with his equipment toward the south side, close to an optimal position between the auction stage and the VIP area—ideal for setting up the live stream.

After choosing a suitable spot, he signaled for the staff to bring a few chairs over, and he, Yue’er, and Zhang Lin sat down quietly, waiting for the auction to begin.

Suddenly, more dignitaries arrived. Noticing a stand and mobile devices in front of Lin Yang, everyone assumed he was just another staff member without giving it much thought.

However, soon, a middle-aged Asian man entered and noticed Lin Yang.
