Fishing Livestream
Chapter 651 - 651 638 Fishing Gear Counterfeit Crackdown

651: Chapter 638: Fishing Gear Counterfeit Crackdown 651: Chapter 638: Fishing Gear Counterfeit Crackdown While Yue Feng and his team were reveling in their celebration feast, today’s live-streamed fishing gear sales event had caused quite the stir in the angling community.

Yuefeng Fishing Tackle’s emergence had already caught the attention of many industry insiders, but since Yue Feng maintained a rather low profile, he didn’t have many opportunities to interact with other peers in the circle.

Now, however, one live stream had produced sales figures that made everyone take notice.

The person who felt the worst was Ning Que.

His 160 yuan Chameleon Color-Changing series struggled to attract buyers, while others sold out of their 1000 yuan floats in an instant.

Searchwater Fishing Tackle only managed to secure second place in the sales competition by category, but embarrassingly, their total sales didn’t even come close to the fraction of what Yuefeng Fishing Tackle achieved.

But Ning Que was quite savvy.

Realizing the strength of Yue Feng’s products, he used his own money to buy up a lot of them afterward.

Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles.

He intended to study these products carefully, believing the investment of a little money was worthwhile.

…

The perfect performance in live-streaming sales the night before resulted in major traffic portals announcing the sales rankings the next morning, which, in turn, significantly boosted Yue Feng’s fan base.

So far, his fan count was only ten thousand short of breaking the three million mark, an incredibly strong momentum.

…

The very next day was the day of the Double Eleven shopping festival.

With the warm-up from Yue Feng’s live stream, You Ying performed extraordinarily well on that evening’s Double Eleven event.

A professional product selection team plus top-tier traffic influencers plus the replay of the first session as a gimmick, coupled with the ten million yuan worth of traffic coupon from Yue Feng’s previous live stream reward, all contributed to You Ying’s live streaming room.

The sales during Double Eleven exceeded 1.5 billion yuan, reconfirming the powerful influence of top internet celebs.

For the following days, the company was operating non-stop, 24 hours a day, with SF Express trucks delivering parcels in and out every morning and evening, sending products to all parts of the country as fast as possible.

The spending spree of Double Eleven had ended, but the ripple effects of this sales event were far from over.

On the day that Yue Feng did his sales broadcast, videos of the actual testing of fishing lines and rods were recorded and uploaded to the platform, drawing the attention of many in the industry.

Things like additives and baits were hard to quantify in terms of actual effectiveness, but tests like the tensile strength of fishing lines and the Top Fishing Value of rods were fairly straightforward—if you had the right professional equipment, you could get accurate data.

Lei Zhenzi, the number one figure in exposing fakes in the fishing gear industry, was a rising star on the live-streaming platform.

He chose the unchallenged position of combating counterfeits in fishing gear.

Through a series of tests and his spicy video rhetoric, he quickly attracted a large following,

With his first video uploaded just two months ago, his fan count had already exceeded three hundred thousand.

Moreover, his live room was very active, easily attracting over ten thousand viewers during regular streams.

Chasing hot topics was the priority for this kind of live stream, so, naturally, someone soon suggested to Lei Zhenzi that he should put Yuefeng Fishing Tackle’s lines and rods to the test.

Lei Zhenzi, who was also sort of an industry professional, had a deep understanding of the various tricks in the angling world,

After briefly reviewing the testing from the live session that day, he grew deeply skeptical about the actual values of Yue Feng’s fishing lines and rods.

After making several phone calls to his colleagues in the industry, Lei Zhenzi found their responses matched his own common sense:

The fishing line strength and the Top Fishing Value of the rods shown during the live demo were too exaggerated to be possible in reality.

After asking around in his fan group, Lei Zhenzi got in touch with an angler who had managed to purchase Yue Feng’s products.

He expressed his desire to do a live broadcast exposing fake fishing gear, targeting the products from Yuefeng Fishing Tackle’s sales event.

Fishing King’s sales suspected of data falsification?

Old Lei goes live for a personal test!

After receiving the express delivery of the lines and rods, Lei Zhenzi couldn’t wait and immediately started his live stream without any prior testing.

Live unboxing and actual data testing!

“Hello, everyone, I’m Old Lei!

Has Fishing King also faked it?

I wonder what you all make of this.

Yesterday, I received a message from a fan who bought Yue Feng’s fishing gear during the Double Eleven event.

They questioned the tensile strength of the line and the rod displayed during the live stream,

so we got in touch with an angler who managed to snatch up the products, and we are going to unbox and test them live for everyone!”

“Before we get to the unboxing and testing, let’s play the original product demo from the live stream that our fellow angler recorded!

We’ll note down several data parameters mentioned in it, and we’ll conduct our tests based on those shortly!”

Lei Zhenzi opened the video and filled out a form with the knot strength and direct tensile strength values announced by You Ying, then unwrapped the fishing line in front of everyone.

“Old Lei, you’re calling out Yue Feng’s bluff?

You’ve got to be joking.”

“Exactly, Yue Feng’s products are tested on-site, and he even roped in a top influencer like You Ying.

Why would he need to deceive people?”

“Yue Feng has never cheated anyone when selling his products, but the data this time does seem a bit exaggerated.

I researched many brand’s fishing lines online, but none of them matched their data.

Furthermore, some shop owners are even willing to bet by patting their chests, saying if it’s true, they’ll eat shit standing upside down!”

“Don’t be fooled by the fame; all crows under the sky are black.

Businessmen chase profits; they are all the same.

Whether it’s a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk.

Let Old Lei test it, and then we’ll all see clearly!”

Lei Zhenzi: “Actually, not only do you guys feel there is a discrepancy, but I was also incredulous when I heard about these data!

Currently, the strength of nylon lines worldwide is nearing their design limit, so it is difficult to make major improvements.

I’ve also asked friends to make inquiries at the Toray Company, and the conclusion we got was basically the same.

That’s why we considered today’s live stream.

We’ll unbox and evaluate it live!”

“Now, we have the fishing lines sent by our enthusiastic angler.

We’re going to unbox them live and see the quality for ourselves!”

Lei Zhenzi opened the package and took out two spools of line, perfectly wrapped in foam material.

“Very tightly packed, covered in foam material!

Once opened, the line’s packaging looks incredibly sophisticated, with copper cardstock printing and a specially custom spool!

Based on packaging alone, at the hundred yuan line level, it really stands out!

But let’s see how it actually measures up.

Let’s carry on and find out!”

After opening the line box, Lei Zhenzi presented the spool in front of everyone: “What we have here is the main line 1.0.

As you can see, the coffee-colored main line is wound in a naturally coiled method, which is better than parallel winding.

It minimizes the impact on the line’s tensile strength, and the details are quite perfect!

So far, whether it’s packaging, sensory impression, or detail, it looks pretty good, but let’s see how it fares in testing.

Let’s do this in two steps: we’ll measure the line diameter and test it with a tensile machine.

Let’s get started!”
