Chapter 731: Chapter 718 Club League????
By contrast, dostic conditions are much poorer, with the majority of participants in competitions being shop owners in the fishing industry and employees of brand companies; only a few large fishing gear brands have their own competitive teams of anglers. The term ‘professional angler’ exists in na only and is far from reaching the level seen abroad.
How can one change this situation and drive developnt? Yue Feng bit his pen and pondered for a long ti, but still couldn’t co up with a good thod.
…
The next day, after having breakfast, Yue Feng drove the brand new SUV with his girlfriend Doll and headed straight to the Hua Clan’s residence hundreds of kiloters away.
Before setting off, Yue Feng had already made a call to the old master the night before, so when he arrived at his destination around two in the afternoon, the old master was in the office.
Yue Feng parked the car skillfully under the office building, took Doll and the gifts, and went up to the second floor.
When they reached the office door, Yue Feng knocked softly, and the voice of the old master ca from inside.
“Co in!”
Yue Feng pushed the door and entered.
“Teacher Hua, how are you! This is my girlfriend, Doll!”
“Hello, Teacher Hua!” Doll also greeted.
After Yue Feng entered, he placed the gift he brought to one side. The old master liked to drink, and this ti Yue Feng brought a case of six bottles of Moutai aging liquor, a gift from a friend.
“Look at you, coming all this way and still buying sothing! Sit down!” the old master got up to greet them, ushering Yue Feng and Doll to the sofa.
“A friend gave it to , and knowing that you like to drink, I brought it! I don’t really touch this stuff myself!” Yue Feng replied casually.
“That’s a relief. The drink is indeed good, but the price has been inflated sky-high. Just don’t spend your own money buying this for !
The fishing gear enterprise association is developing well now, isn’t it? I went to a eting a while ago and even heard the secretary-general of the Chinese Fishing Association ntion it!”
Yue Feng answered truthfully, “It’s okay, there are about fifty or so enterprises that have joined now, but there are also quite a few who are resistant to joining. With so many manufacturers in the country, it’s only a drop in the bucket. Expanding our mbership size still has a long way to go!”
Teacher Hua nodded and poured tea for Yue Feng, “There always has to be a process, but many of the technical things from your side are quite effective. Just the other day, the fishing rod workshop just developed a new rod blank that, compared to the previous Dragon Pattern Carp third generation, has improved by at least 40%!”
Yue Feng, “I have a few mature design drawings in my hands, I’ll send you a copy later!”
The old master neither accepted nor refused but simply took a sip of tea, “Haha, you lad, bringing good liquor and design drawings, coming all this way – speak up, what are you planning to do? Let give you so advice!”
Yue Feng didn’t have anything to hide, and spoke frankly, “I went to the United States recently and stayed for less than half a month. I was sowhat surprised by the scale and influence of foreign competitions. Before returning to the country, I even signed an endorsent with a foreign yacht fishing boat company, so I’ve been considering so things!
I wonder, Teacher, what do you think about the developnt of dostic competitions?”
Teacher Hua listened with interest to the first part, but when Yue Feng asked about his opinion on dostic competitions, the old master slightly furrowed his brow.
“Speaking objectively, dostic competitions have developed quite well in recent years, and our Hua Clan has sponsored quite a few events! What’s the purpose behind asking this question?”
“It was only when I went abroad that I realized that almost everyone is an angler! Outdoor fishing activities are very popular among Aricans!”
“However, by comparison, dostic fishing competitions have much less influence! I had so free ti yesterday, so I looked them up on the computer and found many competitions I had never even heard of!”
“So I was thinking, is there any good way to improve this situation?”
If it weren’t for Yue Feng winning the Fishing King title at such a young age and achieving many other proud records, any ordinary angler talking about this topic would have had the old man thinking the kid was crazy and would have just walked away.
But when these words ca from Yue Feng’s mouth, it was a different matter.
Teacher Hua pondered for a mont and said, “When it cos to the fan base of fishing as a sport, we have no shortage of anglers in our country. But when we talk about influence, that’s a different concept. The Chinese Fishing Association was only established in 2012. It’s actually done quite well to reach this point in just a few years!
“Take the United States, for example— their event system is more comprehensive and their professional anglers enjoy better welfare benefits. But what about our country?
“Take our Hua Clan, for instance. Every year, the Hua School graduates so many students. When they return ho, they still scatter across various industries. Even the instructors from our clan, the team leaders, and the mbers of the competitive team earn much less compared to their counterparts in foreign countries!”
“By indulging in a little introspection, there’s no need to ntion what the situation is like in other companies!”
“Right, and now that outdoor live streaming has taken off, it has created an additional source of inco for these people. There are quite a few anglers streaming online nowadays!”
Teacher Hua nodded but didn’t continue on this subject. Instead, he asked, “Do you follow any ball gas, like football, basketball, or anything like that?”
Yue Feng did occasionally watch the NBA and such, so he nodded, “I watch basketball gas from ti to ti. Why do you suddenly ask about this?”
“To increase the influence of the competition, these local small-scale events are ultimately too limited. To turn it into an industry, we have to move towards clubs and professional competitions!
“There are actually already signs of this direction, but it’s been developing slowly. Take the Hua Clan’s competitive team, for example— we only have a few team mbers. There aren’t many companies that spend money to support anglers!
“I think if we want to reach the level of influence you’re talking about, this is a point to consider!”
Both being intelligent people, Teacher Hua made a point, and Yue Feng understood the implications.
Football has its leagues, and by the sa logic, fishing competitions could certainly be promoted and developed in this direction. If a healthy and orderly industry could be ford, it would greatly propel the developnt of the industry.
“A club league?” Yue Feng’s eyes lit up.
“Sothing like that. Actually, there’s already quite a bit of discussion about this at the higher levels of the industry, but the timing isn’t quite right yet, so there’s never been a consensus!
“Otherwise, why do you think our Hua Clan, as well as Tianyuan, Zhongsheng, and other teams in our country spend so much money to sign and nurture anglers each year?” Teacher Hua continued to delve deeper into the topic.
Yue Feng suddenly thought of a possibility and couldn’t wait to ask, “If the Fishing Tackle Industry Association’s scale were to expand several tis, and most of the first and second-tier manufacturers joined, and then we pushed for this club league, do you think it would work?”
Upon hearing this, the old man’s eyes shone with excitent!
