Chapter 15: Professional Fishing Circles in China

In the next few days, Yang Zi did not stay in Graygang Town, but bought a lot of things and went back to his hometown for two days. Since he lives in the store all year round, he doesn't come home much a year. In the future, he will often have to go far away, and he plans to accompany his parents at home these days.

His hometown is in the countryside, and his parents have been doing business outside since he can remember, and it was not until he was older in recent years that he raised some pigs at home to feed, and they were all very simple and honest people.

Yang Zi's parents have been very happy at home for the past few days, except for constantly asking about their daughter-in-law's affairs. Speaking of this, Yang Zi will have a headache, it's not that he can't find a girlfriend. It can only be said that he is unwilling to compromise, and as he grows older and more knowledgeable, it becomes more difficult for him to find the right girl he likes. Not to mention that he was only in such a hurry before, but now that he has the system, he has thrown this matter to the country of Java.

In the past few days, Qian Gang and they have called him a few times to ask him to go fishing together, and Yang Zi told them that he had returned to his hometown, and the fishing matter would wait for a few days. Then let Li Zhen help him make an appointment with the friend of the professional angler to come over, and everyone had a meal at the hotel in Gray Harbor Town.

Li Zhen promised him to call his friend over the day after tomorrow, and after the two set a time to meet, Yang Zi asked Li Zhen to help him ask Lao Wang Zhang Bo the size of the rod they each liked, and the fishing rod he promised them last time would be ready in these days.

Yang Zi didn't go out fishing for a few days at home, but helped his parents feed the pigs and cook, busy with some heavier physical work, and also paid attention to the fishing competition that will be held recently on the Internet. This season happens to be the time when there are many competitions, and there are many games in HN.

After screening, Yang Zi temporarily set the goal of the "Fisherman's Cup" fishing competition that will be launched in the Huangshi Reservoir in Zhangjiajie, which is organized by the Happy Fishing Program Group. Unlike some competitions, which have membership or club status and the requirement to participate in a team, each person can pay a registration fee of 300 yuan.

The organizer provides the venue and maintains order, and the players bring their own fishing tackle and bait. The competition is divided into two stages, the day before is the preliminaries, where crucian carp are fished in the breeding pit to match the number of tails. The top 50 anglers advance to the second day's finals, where the highest total catch wins by fishing heavier on a tributary of the Yellowstone Reservoir.

It should be said that the scoring of fishing tournaments is different from other competitions, if you get the first place in a competition, you will get one point, the second place will be two points, and so on, and the person with the least total score will win. This competition is relatively rich because the organizer is rich, Mango TV, everyone understands it~ so the prize money is still quite considerable.

The first place is 10,000 cash plus a set of fishing tackle worth 6,888 from the sponsor, the second place is 5,000 cash plus 3,888 worth of fishing tackle, and the third place is 1,888 cash plus 2,888 worth of fishing tackle. Such a reward in a small fishing tournament is already very rich, and the number of people who sign up for it is certainly not small, there are already more than a hundred now, and it is estimated that there will be more by the beginning of the competition.

The competition will be held next Sunday, and the registration deadline is three days before the competition, and Yang Zi plans to consult Brother Xiazhen's friend the day after tomorrow before making a decision.

After staying at home for three days, Yang Zi returned to Gray Port on the morning of the fourth day. At noon today, he ordered a table of dishes at the hotel and wanted to ask Brother Zhen's friend. Qian Gang made a bet that day, after Li Zhen lost, the buddy felt a little embarrassed, so he left early and didn't even eat.

Today, Yang Zi called Qian Gang and his brothers over, and everyone got to know each other together.

The time was close to eleven o'clock at noon, and Yang Zi, who arrived in advance, ordered a table of dishes in a hotel with a better environment in the town. Then he made a phone call to Brother Zhen, and Yang Zi first asked his friend's name. This buddy's name is Chen Xiaoxu, and Li Zhen generally calls him Brother Xu.

Knowing that he was on his way to pick up his friends, he went to the door and waited for them. As a result, Li Zhen and the others didn't wait, Qian Gang and a few of them came first. Several people smiled and said hello, and Yang Zi asked them to go in first, and he continued to wait for Li Zhen and them here. More than ten minutes passed, and Yang Zigang, who was a little bored waiting, picked up the phone and wanted to ask Li Zhen when he happened to see his Q7 arrive at the door of the hotel.

He greeted him with a smile, "Brother Zhen, thank you for your hard work! This is Brother Xu, right? My name is Yang Zi, I didn't go to meet you when we met last time, this time I have something to ask you, I hope you don't mind!" Li Zhen smiled and said hello, Chen Xiaoxu didn't have any shelf.

He has no opinion on Yang Zi, since Li Zhen is good friends with him, it is nothing to help himself. And he was very interested in the kind of fishing rod that Li Zhen talked about with Yang Zi, and he was there to witness it that day. Qian didn't have a mouth for more than an hour at the beginning, but after Yang Zi changed a rod for him, he was able to achieve a reversal. Even if there was luck in this, there must be some other factors that he didn't know about.

Seeing Yang Zi so enthusiastic, he also replied with a smile: "Haha! Don't be so polite, Brother Zhen and I are brothers." Since you are his friend, you are naturally also my friend Chen Xiaoxu, so don't be so polite. If you don't understand anything, just ask, and I heard Brother Zhen say that you have a good set of fishing, and we have to exchange experiences later. But let's go in first, as soon as I got out of the car, he pulled him over, and I didn't have time to go to the bathroom. Yang Zi nodded hurriedly when he heard this, and walked in with the two of them towards the main entrance of the hotel.

After a few people entered the private room, Li Zhen first introduced Chen Xiaoxu, and Yang Zi was also happy to see it. Pour a glass of wine for everyone and toast to his new friend Brother Xu who came from Changsha. Because they all have acquaintances, and several people on Yang Zi's side have also mixed up a lot of scenes, everyone is very happy to eat lunch at this table, and there is no cold scene.

After Yang Zi toasted a few glasses of wine, he asked Chen Xiaoxu about some things about the professional fishing circle, and Brother Xu told him that there are not many really large-scale fishing competitions in China, less than ten a year. Such competitions are basically organized by the government, and the scale and prize money of the competition are very high.

For example, the Shengzhong Lake Fishing Grand Prix, the National Fishing Championship, etc., the total prize money is as high as hundreds of thousands, and the number of participants can even exceed 1,000. Generally, the selection competition is organized by the regional association, and the competition can only be participated after obtaining the qualification for the competition. At the next level are local competitions and competitions organized by fishing gear manufacturers, which are held quite a few times a year.

The prize money is quite generous, and it is a competition where professional anglers are concentrated. The qualifications for participation are sponsored by the association's members, manufacturers, and the winners of the competition. The next level of competition is basically held by small local clubs or fishing forums.

As long as you pay a little registration fee, you can participate, this kind of competition focuses on participation, and the nature of benefits is not as high as the previous two. It is commonly referred to as a casual game and is very popular with some idle people. For example, Brother Xu himself is a member of the HN Provincial Fishing Association, and he has won a lot of competition rankings, so he can speak in the association.

He told Yang Zi that he could go to the neighborhood to participate in some casual competitions first. It's best to get a few rankings, and then he will help Yang Zi join the fishing association. Although the organization is not as lively as it used to be, it is official after all. No matter what the competition can be hung on, as long as you can hang this name, you can go to the qualification, which coincides with Yang Zi's previous thoughts.

Qian Gang listened to Chen Xiaoxu's introduction on the side, and said to Yang Zi: "Yang Zi, I just heard Brother Xu say that there is a team competition in this game, and you don't have any acquaintances at that time, what if you meet some mediocre hands to drag you down? When you go out to participate in the competition, call me together, and let's go and get a few places together. Brother Xu, you also put one sheep and two sheep, and by the way, you will also pull me to the association. When the time comes, what kind of team competition will our brothers have a companion, Yang Zi, do you say yes?"

Yang Zi rolled his eyes, what do you mean by mediocre hands? You are the one yourself! He didn't have any opinion. Anyway, with his own bait and fishing rod to help, it shouldn't be difficult for Qian Gang to get a few rankings, so he looked at Brother Xu and wanted to ask his opinion.

Chen Xiaoxu was a little funny when he heard Qian Gang say this, what did you think of the fishing competition in the first place? Is the ranking so easy to get? Even those old anglers who know the water conditions and fish conditions very well dare not say which game they will definitely win, you are a novice and still want to go with Yang Zi to get the ranking? How many more? The last time I saw you, you couldn't even throw a rod to the standard! But he could only complain in his heart, after all, he still had to sell one.

He nodded directly and agreed to Qian Gang, as long as he could get two or three valid rankings, he would also help him join the association. As soon as Qian Gang saw that the matter was done, he hurriedly sent an invitation to the gang of three of Lao Wang, Zhang Bo, and Li Zhen, saying that he wanted his brothers to form a team to dominate the whole country! Lao Wang directly said that his age and body could not bear it, and Zhang Bo said that he couldn't leave his work. Li Zhen was a little moved, but his company couldn't do without him now, so he could only shake his head and reject Qian Gang's proposal.

Seeing that the three of them had rejected him, Qian Gang snorted and said: "Lao Wang, your wife is strict, how many years older than me? Zhang Bo, your bad work is not only chatting and drinking tea all day long? Li Zhen, you can just find a trustworthy person to show you the affairs of your company, learn from me! When you are a shopkeeper every day, your performance is not still good. None of them will give me face, and when the time comes, I will come back with a few gold medals and envy you to death!" Several people looked at Qian Gang's excited appearance, and couldn't help but raise their foreheads.

Because Zhang Bo had to go to the office for a meeting in the afternoon, the meal ended at one o'clock. Today, Yang Zi learned a lot after listening to some of Chen Xiaoxu's experience and introduction, and his original vague concept of the competitive fishing circle immediately became much clearer. Chen Xiaoxu is very happy to meet a few high-level friends here.

Some exchanges with Yang Zi also felt that the trip was worthwhile. Especially after Yang Zi promised to give him a special fishing rod, he was even more happy to ask Yang Zi to go to Changsha to play with him when he was free, and he took Yang Zi to fish in the Xiangjiang River when the time came. Yang Zi also invited him to participate in the trip to the Huangcai Reservoir prepared by himself tomorrow, and Chen Xiaoxu, who had heard about this reservoir, heard that there was such a good thing, and Li Zhen and they would all participate, so he immediately agreed. I won't even go back to Changsha, so I'll stay at Li Zhen's house tonight.

Next, Yang Zi sent everyone to the car to see them leave, and he planned to take advantage of the afternoon to make some preparations. By the way, he also paid the registration fee for the game in Zhangjiajie on the Internet, and Qian Gang also notified him, and the two of them would have to rush over a day in advance.
