Back to the Past to Become a Fishing King

Chapter 265: The Show Brother Who Gains Followers by Spending Money


The artificial channel is depleted of fish, yet taking stock of the past period, the harvest of Zhang Yang's team could be described as terrifying.

In the first week, combining the daytime catch with nighttime live-streamed night fishing, they could basically catch more than five to six hundred pounds of fish each day.

As more people started fishing, the density decreased, but they still managed about three to four hundred pounds.

In just over ten days, a simple roundup of sales from the fish amounted to nearly six figures, with each team member taking over ten thousand yuan.

After experiencing the frenzied fishing in the artificial channel, this group developed a refined taste. In the following week, they searched various places to fish, only to find the fishing conditions varied greatly, with no comparability at all.

This bunch, after being cooped up all winter and tasting the sweetness of big carp bounties, ended up not going fishing. Bored, they just went to their own live-streaming venue, the pit water reservoir, to play for a while.

Long stories are told when there is something to say, short when there's none. The spring wild fishing season was wrapping up as the temperature slowly increased, and the fishing streamers on Kuaishou started getting restless.

Time-wise, it's been four to five months since Zhang Yang switched to Kuaishou. During this period, the outdoor fishing section on Kuaishou was still relatively primitive, undergoing constant exploration and refinement.

However, there were also relatively excellent seed streamers, all selected by Zhang Yang, with the list handed over to Old Zhao to arrange for his own subordinate MCN company for continuous connection.

In Zhang Yang's expectations, signing these potential streamers would require some cost, but in practice, the costs turned out to be shockingly low.

A few fishing influencer girls, who had millions of fans in their previous lives, were still at the starting stage with just over ten thousand fans. Zhang Yang's MCN brokerage firm extended an olive branch, further offering comprehensive packaging and resource support based on the fact of incubating top fishing streamers who have made their names worldwide!

Faced with these conditions, many streamers were thoroughly moved, signing cooperation agreements ranging from three to five years without hesitation, for the company's training and a basic monthly salary of five thousand yuan.

Seeing this, some might complain, isn't Zhang Yang's operation a bit exploitative?

If it was just verbal promises without any subsequent fulfillment, it certainly would be exploitative.

However, Zhang Yang had no intention of doing so. After a while, when the temperature warms up and the fishing conditions stabilize, he plans to organize formal streamer training under the company's name to assist his streamers in enhancing their content and livestream effects.

...

While Zhang Yang's life was unfolding steadily according to a predetermined rhythm, in Ningji City next to W City, there was a young man about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, driving a van laboriously, delivering tile grout to customers.

This young man's name was Chen Xiu, an only child. His father had a small shop in the market, primarily dealing in tile grout.

Chen Xiu dropped out of high school, wandering through society, hanging out at internet cafes, playing billiards, and doing nothing with a group of youthful hoodlums.

Later, after getting married and taking on family responsibilities with the arrangement of his family, he finally got his act together. In the past year and a half, he had been working diligently at his own family's shop, delivering goods everywhere when there's work, and enjoying fishing when there's not.

Recently, the tile grout business has been decent, and Chen Xiu had been busy delivering products with little time for fishing. During his free time, he entertained himself by watching live streams on Kuaishou.

Initially, this guy was just watching fishing live streams to kill time, but after randomly coming across a streamer called Gou Sheng Fishing, he accidentally discovered a massive business opportunity.

This Gou Sheng, leveraging the traffic from his live streams, attracted several hundred follower fans to his WeChat group and astonishingly, sold over forty budget-friendly fishing rods overnight, all on a prepayment, post-shipment basis without even basic trust guarantees.

While other fans thought they had scored a big bargain and were happy with their fishing rods, Chen Xiu saw the business opportunity amidst the crowd.

Selling over forty fishing rods in one night at a minimum of 50% profit translates to thousands of yuan in earnings. Is streaming on Kuaishou and selling goods privately really this lucrative?

With an extremely agile mind, Chen Xiu started pondering secretly after finishing the live stream.

The tile grout business was overseen by his father. The only tasks left for him were manual labor like delivering goods and loading or unloading trucks, work that could absolutely be outsourced.

If the fishing gear business on Kuaishou was this profitable, why shouldn't he also give it a try?

Having these thoughts, Chen Xiu shared his idea with his father, leading to a very formal conversation between the two.

His son was grown, and Chen Xiu's performance became more reliable in recent years, instilling confidence in his father.

Hearing his son's ambition to become a fishing streamer, the father agreed without hesitation and even provided a startup fund of 30,000 yuan.

It was precisely this 30,000 yuan that enabled Chen Xiu to catch the wave of traffic, successfully stepping into the streaming industry.

On that day, Zhang Yang was fishing live with Han Qiang in their reservoir, when suddenly, a new account called Top of the Crop entered the livestream room.

With over three thousand viewers currently online in Zhang Yang's live stream, a new face wouldn't be noticed at all.

However, very soon, Top of the Crop became the brightest star in the entire live stream room.
