Chapter 42: Hong Tao's Dream
Gao Fat and other fishing friends mostly take what Wang Jian said as boasting, and there are a few fishing friends who also like ice fishing to help Wang Jian prove that what he said is true, everyone has talking, laughing and tea, and the fishing tackle shop has become a small gathering place, and the fishing friends who can talk together are slowly accustomed to come here to sit down, and gradually formed a small circle headed by Wang Jian, Liu Laotou and Fu Laotou.
Others don't quite believe in the deeds Wang Jian said, but Hong Tao knows that nine times out of ten it is true, because in the previous life, there were teachers flying everywhere, experts everywhere, and countless masters in the fishing circle, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they are all very closely related to business competitions. Different fishing tackle manufacturers and bait manufacturers will come up with one or two teachers and masters, and then use them to launch their own products.
That kind of situation is basically the same as what Wang Jian said at present, when beginners just enter the fishing circle, due to the asymmetry of information and the lack of understanding of fishing sports, they will often blindly pursue the same pace with these teachers and masters. As everyone knows, those masters and teachers wear and use, and they don't even spend money to buy it, and 100% of it is for business endorsements, especially in China's environment full of false advertising, how credible these endorsements can be, it is self-evident.
Zhuge Fei is still the same as before, after returning from the driving school, he went to the fishing tackle shop or home to find Hong Tao, and then the two of them either cooked some food at home, or went to the restaurant outside. After eating, the two of them either go to the movies, or find a shopping mall, or go home and watch TV on the sofa, just like a young couple.
Hong Tao is quite satisfied with the current living situation, the business of the fishing tackle shop is getting better and better, according to this form of development, there is no pressure to recover the cost, and it is quite promising to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year; Then the personal problems have been basically solved, although it is only in the love stage, but the feeling of both parties is not bad, Zhuge Fei is not only docile, but also decent, although a little cautious, in general, he is a housekeeper.
Desire is a thing that always accelerates as you advance, as if you can't catch up with it. When he first came to this time and space, Hong Tao was still thinking about how to find an errand to do so that he could live a smooth life, and after having a fishing tackle shop, he was thinking about how to do a good job in the fishing tackle shop, and then make his life a little higher; Now that his career has improved and he has returned with a beauty, he is starting to be dissatisfied again.
Hong Tao's dissatisfaction is not in business, he is already very satisfied with the income of this fishing tackle shop, if it were not for that fish scale, now he doesn't know how to work overtime in that building. As for what he said about expanding production, turning small-scale production into an industrialized assembly line, and then unifying the entire Chinese bait market, so as to enter foreign countries, and defeat Japan's monopoly in fishing tackle and bait, Hong Tao really thought about it, but he didn't plan to do it.
In his previous life, he was a common man, and in this life, he didn't plan to be an industry elite and the richest man in the world, how tired that thing is, some eat, some drink, some play, some have fun, have family, have friends, how good it is to live easily for a lifetime, money is this thing, no one said that too much is not good, but more is too much? It depends on everyone's desires, as long as you let go of your desires, this thing will have no head, and until you die of old age, you will not be able to fulfill your wishes.
Hong Tao's dissatisfaction is not in his emotional life, the kind of life that has been soaked in college students and female white-collar workers, small models and female singers, and foreign countries in China can only exist in his dreams, and that kind of life may be excited before the age of 30, but he has long lived past the age of confusion He has long had no such idea.
There is a local saying in Beijing that is very ugly, but very realistic, and it describes the little thing between men and women: the first 3 years take X as food, and the last 3 years hide X to flee. Probably that means that the human body is limited, and the great XX activity is unlimited, even if the talent is different, you can't help but take that sport as a meal all day long, so Hong Tao's requirements for women are not high, it is good to be able to live, of course, if this affair is more perfect every few years, but most of those things exist in literary works, you can think but you can't pursue it.
Hong Tao's dissatisfaction is mainly in the hobby of fishing, he has been busy earning money to support his family in his last life, although he has not let go of this hobby, but he has never had fun. Like any fishing competition, I have basically not participated in many fishing methods, such as lures, streams, deep seas, etc., and I have never really been contacted, not to mention those European fishing grounds, Amazon River fishing, Great Lakes fishing, Great Barrier Reef and New Zealand, Hawaii, etc., Hong Tao has never been to any of them.
Originally, I thought that the paradise in these dreams could only exist in dreams, but God saw that he looked pleasing to the eye and gave him a precious opportunity to choose, so Hong Tao decided that he must not live up to God's kindness, and in this new life, as much as possible to go through the paradise of these fishermen, and this beginning starts with the pond fishing competition.
Why do you want to start with a pond fishing competition? This kind of project of catching artificially farmed fish with dozens of anglers in an artificial pond the size of a basketball court is too different from the kind of sport that Hong Tao yearns for that is closer to nature and more like the word fishing.
Hong Tao's answer is: It's a big deal.
If you want to go fishing reservoirs and rivers all over the country, it is essential to pay for it, whether you go by car, train or plane, you have to have transportation costs, to the local area, you can't sneak to the water's edge, generally this kind of place is far away from the city, you have to rent a car, which is another expense.
And then you have to eat, drink, and live, and that's another expense, compared to which the money you actually spend on fishing tackle and fishing is insignificant. If you want to go fishing, you have to buy a set of fishing equipment, and then you have to incur transportation expenses and rent a boat, which is not cheaper than freshwater fishing.
In addition, China's places are too big, many fishing spots are in the barren mountains and mountains, and there are many waters that are not open to the public, and if there are no familiar local people to receive them, it is a problem to reach these places by personal ability, let alone go fishing. In addition, there are a lot of problems such as security problems, problems of understanding fish conditions, and problems of obtaining information, which cannot be solved by relying on Hong Tao alone.
All of the above is very difficult to get around in China, and if you want to go abroad to see all continents, then it is even more problematic. Languages, supplies, visas, local tour guides, huge expenses, etc., not to mention Hongtao's small fishing tackle shop, you can't open 2 more fishing tackle shops.
However, these problems that cannot be solved by Hong Tao himself can be solved in a way that is simple and difficult, that is, to improve his reputation in the fishing world, and then through the sponsor model to fulfill Hong Tao's wishes one by one.
What if you increase your reputation in the fishing world? The easiest, most authoritative and fastest is to participate in various fishing tournaments, and then get a good ranking in the competition. At that time, you don't need to look for it, and various sponsors will automatically come to you for endorsement. And Hong Tao can also use the financial resources and connections of these sponsors to gradually realize his dreams.
In order to confirm whether his ideas are out of reality, Hong Tao after thinking about it maturely, the first to tell Gao Fatzi and Wang Jian about his plan, these two people are the two people Hong Tao is most familiar with and trusted, and they have been mixed in different levels of society for many years, it is very necessary to listen to their suggestions and understanding.
