Chapter 13: Crazy Fishing

Nothing happened all night, and the next day, the day of the fishing tournament arrived.

The tournament started at 8:30 a.m., and Tagawa arrived at Weihai Fishing Park, where the tournament was held, just after 7 a.m. From a distance, I saw that the colorful flags of the fishing garden were fluttering, and a convoy of two minibuses and several cars happened to arrive. Coming to the gate, Tagawa stopped the car and waited for the convoy in front of him to enter first. Two banners were hung on the gate of the fishing park: "Warmly celebrate the success of the first Taiwan-Weihai Fishing Friendship Competition" and "Warmly welcome Taiwanese fishing friends to visit and guide", Tian Chuan showed his participation card, followed the team into the fishing park, parked the car, carried his fishing tackle, and came to the competition pool.

In the middle of August, the weather was still relatively hot, but today it was a cloudy day, with white clouds floating in the blue sky, and about one or two southwest winds gently blowing the flags by the pool, it was really a good weather for fishing.

When you arrive at the pool, some of the anglers are already ready, and it is easy to distinguish between local anglers and Taiwanese anglers from their clothing and equipment. The equipment of local anglers is varied, but Taiwanese anglers all use fishing boxes, and the fishers are mixed rows, which have been determined by lottery in advance.

Tagawa came to his fishing position, set up a fishing box, set up a fort, put the fishing guard, loaded the bait tray, supported the umbrella, took out the bucket, drew a bucket of water from the pool, and soaked the prepared few in the water. Next to him was a group of Taiwanese fishing friends, he put down the preparations in his hand, watched Tian Chuan busy with interest, and asked: "Little friend, why do you want to soak the mark in the water?" Tian Chuan did not hide it, and said: "The fish drift will absorb water, if you use dry drifting, the position adjusted in the process of fishing will change, affecting the sensitivity." Taiwanese fishing friends suddenly realized, even said that it was reasonable, and hurriedly soaked their own drifting.

The umbrella and fish protection are provided by the organizer, and after Tian Chuan sat down, he raised the pole to try, and found that the position of the umbrella was too forward, which affected the lifting of the pole, so he simply put the umbrella away. There were no pimples on the fish guard, so Tagawa put a homemade pin on it. The rules only allow one rod to be launched, but Tagawa has prepared two rods, one for the main fishing and one for backup.

Judging from the results of yesterday's test fishing, the pond is dominated by crucian carp and there are very few trash fish. Most of the crucian carp are about two taels, and there are also some large crucian carp. In order to cope with different situations, Tagawa prepared three baits, one for strawberry fragrance, one for grain fragrance, and one for strong fish. All three are made into highly dispersed baits that can be rubbed and pulled.

He didn't mix these baits into finished products, and what he took out was a large number of bottles and jars, mixed together, and then mixed with water to make bait, and different proportions could get different flavors of bait. When Tagawa was serving the bait, many people around him gathered around to watch it, because it felt too complicated. There are a lot of domestic anglers around who use live bait, there are earthworms and bloodworms, and Taiwanese anglers all use face bait, rubbed into a soft look, only the bait prepared by Tian Chuan, looks thick and unformed, it looks more alternative.

With the command to "prepare" on the radio, everyone sat down at the fishing position and prepared to start adjusting the drift. A minute later, the order to "start" was given, everyone began to throw the rod to find the bottom, and the game began.

Tian Chuan quickly completed the work of drifting and finding the bottom, first using the Gu Xiang bait that he was more confident in, and rubbing the big bait to make a nest. The expected two-shot nest has not yet been completed, a clear cut appeared, Tagawa flicked his wrist, and a crucian carp flew up from the water, pulled the line with his left hand, and knocked the fish into the fish guard. Stop nesting and start fishing with small bait.

Today's fish mouth is good, and everyone has started to fish. When the fish mouth is good, the disadvantage of slow live bait is shown, and the speed of fishing friends in Taiwan is generally faster than that of domestic anglers. But there is one exception, and that is Tagawa.

Tagawa has maintained an almost steady double shot, catching fish at a rate of 2 to 3 shots per minute. From rubbing the bait to pulling the bait, from fishing the bottom to floating, the speed is getting faster and faster, and after 1 hour, Tagawa's right arm is already very sore, and the fish guard is falling straight down. Tagawa raised his hand and called the referee next to him and asked for a change of fish protection. The referee seemed a little surprised, and didn't react for a while, until Tagawa said it again, and then picked up a new fish goat, pulled the old fish goat that Tagawa replaced to the side, and fixed it with a rope.

At this time, one of the two cameras on the sidelines of the field has almost been fixed to shoot Tagawa, and the barbless hook and knock needle used by Tagawa compress the time to pick fish to the extreme, and those anglers who use barbed hooks, every time they catch a fish, it takes a lot of time to pick fish, which not only delays the time, but also makes it difficult to maintain the nest because of the delayed time, and the efficiency of fishing is much lower than that of Tagawa.

Later, Tagawa deliberately slowed down, because he was too tired, his right arm was almost unable to lift, and from time to time he needed to rest on the fort, and his efficiency had decreased significantly. Finally, a whistle blew and it was time for the game. Tian Chuan put the pole on the fort, shook his right arm vigorously, and then rubbed it with his left hand, feeling that it was no longer convenient for him to make a fist with his right hand.

He stood up and moved for a while, and found that the people around him looked at him with strange eyes, looked around with some puzzlement, and quietly asked the referee next to him: "Why do everyone look at me like this?" The referee was also speechless, and said: "You will know the results of the statistics in a while." ”

Tagawa's position is in the corner, and the referee counts the fish from the opposite side, which means that he will be the last to count the fish. He listened to the referee's results: 80, 137, 65, 88, 176...... After waiting for half an hour, I finally arrived at him. Except for Tian Chuan, the highest score was 202 for Taiwanese anglers.

The referee first poured the fish in the second fish guard into a large basin, which was more than half a basin, and after counting, it was 220, which was already the most. After counting this pot, the first fish guard was lifted, this fish guard was obviously heavier, and when the fish was poured out, one pot could not be filled, and two basins were poured. After the two judges counted, the final total was reached: 598.

The whole tournament venue has been a sensation, and this is a number that goes beyond the concept of regular fishing. The organizers of the competition also felt more embarrassed, a group of people who claimed to be the most powerful in the country competed, and finally won the championship by a self-registered senior, and the results far exceeded the others, which was a very helpless feeling.

At this time, several people with a more obvious superior momentum parted the crowd and walked over, they did not wear the badges of the players, referees and staff on their chests. A middle-aged man wearing a referee's badge pointed to a tall and thin middle-aged man and introduced: "Mr. Tian Chuan, this is the president of our Weihai Fishery Association, Mr. Zhu Dacheng. He pointed to a gray-haired man with glasses next to him and introduced, "This is Mr. Lin Jiaming of the Taiwan Fishing Association." Tagawa shook hands with the two of them one by one and said hello.

At this time, Lin Jiaming spoke first: "Mr. Tian is young and promising, let us old guys be ashamed." ”

Tian Chuan hurriedly said politely: "Today's weather is good, the fish mouth is good, and it all depends on luck to catch a lot." President Lin was too complimentary. ”

Zhu Dacheng said beside him: "I'm a few years older than you, so I'll call you brother." Brother, you don't have to be too modest, the layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway. Your fish nest is boiling, and the speed at which you put on the bait, pick up the fish, and the accuracy of the rod throwing are all refreshing. You've taken us to a whole new level of fishing. Zhu Dacheng has a Shandong accent, his voice is loud, and his mouth makes people feel a strong arrogance.

At this time, Chen Jianjian, a wholesaler who signed up with Tian Chuan, also interjected next to him: "Xiao Tian, President Zhu is also the chairman of our famous Mingwei fishing tackle in Weihai, and his fishing skills are also very good. ”

Tian Chuan hurriedly took over the conversation and said, "It turned out to be Zhu Dong, who was disrespectful." ”

Zhu Dacheng still had a bold tone, and pretended to be angry and said: "As soon as I met, I felt that I fell in love with the little brother, if I didn't see you, I would call me Brother Zhu, and if I called Zhu Dong and Zhu Zong, I would be divided." ”

Tian Chuan hurriedly changed his words: "Brother Zhu, brother, I just opened a small fishing tackle shop in my hometown of Jin, and it has not yet opened. ”

A few people said a few polite words, the statistical results came out, and the two presidents wanted to announce the results and awards, so they said goodbye to Tagawa and returned to the rostrum.

The scale of this competition is relatively large, and a total of 8 top 8 will be awarded. Tian Chuan's results are far ahead, without any suspense to win the championship, the 1st to 7th place is actually Taiwan fishing friends, only the 8th place is a Weihai fishing friends, from the results can be seen that the overall level of Taiwan fishing is significantly higher than the mainland fishing friends.

Tagawa's first place winner received a glittering trophy, a certificate of award, 2,000 yuan, and a prize of a 4.5-meter plug-in long-pitched fishing rod.

After the awards, the morning competition was over, and everyone left to prepare for the mixed fish competition that started at 4 p.m.

At noon, Tian Chuan was dragged by Zhu Dacheng and Lin Jiaming to attend a luncheon held at the hotel where Taiwanese fishing friends stayed. The luncheon was in the form of a buffet, and most of the conversation was about fishing. Tian Chuan took a glass of wine and was familiar with the leaders of the fishing associations of the two places. Zhu Dacheng found an opportunity to meet Tian Chuan in the evening, and wanted to talk to him about bait cooperation, and Tian Chuan readily agreed.

In the afternoon mixed fish competition, Tagawa relied on the three-dimensional nesting technique of competitive fishing in later generations, and used another Guxiang bait, and won the championship again. It was only because of the soreness in his right arm that he deliberately lowered the frequency of fishing, and the lead was not as obvious as in the morning.

After dinner, Tagawa and Zhu Dacheng met at a tea bar. The two of them accompanied Taiwanese fishing friends to drink wine at dinner, but they didn't eat well, and when they arrived here, they ordered a meal together, first had a big meal, and then asked for tea and began to talk about things.

Zhu Dacheng introduced that his Mingwei fishing tackle is mainly engaged in making fishing rods and fishing lines, which is not only a domestic famous brand, but also exported to Taiwan and Japan in large quantities, and has developed very well. Recently, Zhu Dacheng has the idea of making bait, but he has been suffering from the lack of selling points of the product, worried that he will not be able to open the road, and has not been easily put into production.

Tian Chuan smiled when he heard this: "Don't hide it from Brother Zhu, brother, I opened a fishing tackle shop in my hometown, just to invest in making bait and build my own sales chain." This time I actively participated in the competition, but also wanted to make a name for myself in the bait in advance. It's just that after meeting Brother Zhu, I changed my mind a little, if the two of us cooperate, there will be a lot of benefits. ”

Zhu Dacheng smiled bitterly: "The impact of this competition is very large, not only our Weihai Station and Shandong Station, but also the national TV station in the border area have come to interview." Didn't you accept an interview?" said, took a sip of tea, shook his head helplessly, and continued: "I used three or four baits before, thinking that I could win the competition and advertise the new bait, but I didn't expect to lose and make a wedding dress for you." ”

Tian Chuan smiled: "Even if there is no me, the first few places will be taken away by the Taiwanese, big brother, you still have no hope." Zhu Dacheng said: "Zhang*, who won the 8th place in the morning, is a famous fast player here, but I didn't expect that in front of the Taiwanese, he is still a big step behind, let alone compared with you." ”

"I do have a knack for baits," says Tagawa, "but it's not just the recipe of the bait, but also the way you mix the bait and how you throw the rod and lift the rod when you fish, and it's a whole technique." ”

Zhu Dacheng was anxious, and hurriedly asked, "You have such good resources now, why do you want to cooperate with me again?"

Tagawa said: "I was going to make it myself, and the bait is not too complicated, so it is not difficult. It's just that I'm going to college this year, and I have other projects at hand, so I really don't have time for this. What's more, fishing gear is not my main development direction, so I want to find someone to work with. ”

Tagawa continued, "I want to make fishing gear, and I also want to improve the overall fishing level of my country's anglers. As you can see in today's competition, the level of our fishing friends with Taiwan has been stretched, and as far as I know, the level of Japan and South Korea is even higher. ”

Zhu Dacheng slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, let's go together." Today's game is too embarrassing, if it were not for you to save face in front, in the future, our mainland fishing friends will not be able to raise their heads in front of the Taiwanese. I've been thinking all day, if it's possible, I'll definitely pull you to hold a training class and popularize the basics for everyone. ”

Tian Chuan said: "My bait marketing idea is related to this, I wonder what you think about this cooperation?"

Zhu Dacheng was real, and said: "My original idea was to buy your formula, and then use your results in this competition as a publicity point, make the bait, and then advertise it to create brand influence." Now listen to you, it seems that you think differently than I do, let's hear it. ”

Tagawa said, "My idea is not complicated, it is to sell bait and technology together. We take this competition as a starting point to make the bait brand, carry out a certain promotion, and then recruit sales agents across the country, and train the agents to promote the technology together. In the future, our brand can include all other fishing supplies to form a big brand. ”

Zhu Dacheng was very supportive of Tian Chuan's idea, the two talked about some details of cooperation, and finally determined that the two cooperated to establish Chengchuan Fishing Technology Co., Ltd., Zhu Dacheng invested 1 million yuan, and invested 55% of the shares in the fishing gear industry, responsible for daily operation and management. Tian Chuan invested 600,000 yuan and invested 45% of the shares in bait formula and technology, and was responsible for fishing technology training.
