Chapter 653 - 653 640 Do Something for the Industry

653: Chapter 640: Do Something for the Industry 653: Chapter 640: Do Something for the Industry Just as Lei Zhenzi was anxiously asking around for Yue Feng’s personal contact info to apologize and surrender, Yue Feng was quite cozily nestled on a sofa in the shop with a doll.

During the Double Eleven shopping event, they had earned a staggering amount, and the company along with the supply chain were swamped, yet these two contestants in the limelight were leisurely beyond measure.

Right then, Yue Feng’s WeChat phone rang.

After answering the call and briefly chatting, Yue Feng sat up straight.

The call was from the admin of his die-hard fan group, who informed Yue Feng about Lei Zhenzi’s review.

“Fengfeng, what’s up?

You suddenly got so serious, feels a bit off!” Doll lazily popped a grape into her mouth and curiously asked.

Yue Feng chuckled, “Some livestreamer who busts fakes has laid into our place.

I’ll go check his account and see what kind of contestant he is!”

“What?

What’s his name?” Doll’s interest piqued, she immediately took out her phone.

“Lei Zhenzi!

The name is pretty unique!”

Yue Feng casually entered a search, quickly finding Lei Zhenzi’s account.

Picking a random skit from below, Yue Feng patiently began to watch.

The skit was a rant about the Sea Dragon King 3260 world record fishing line being a scam, sharp in criticism and solid on evidence, spanning from a fake world record website to the actual test data, leaving the target utterly disgraced.

Initially, Yue Feng had thought Lei Zhenzi was just another who sought attention by triggering controversy, but after watching a few skits continuously, Yue Feng found that this guy wasn’t just ranting to rant; his evidence was meticulously gathered, his sense of justice was strong, and his character was remarkably distinct and well-established.

After watching a few skits and checking the first one’s posting time, my, in less than two months, he had gained over three hundred thousand followers, a rate of increase that was almost catching up to the explosive Yue Feng himself.

Yue Feng smiled, “Not bad, this guy is fierce!”

Doll was also viewing his skits and after watching, her beautiful eyes smiled into crescents.

“What are you thinking of doing?”

Yue Feng said, “He wants exposure, right?

So let’s give him some!

I’ll give him a call!”

“Huh?” Doll was still somewhat puzzled.

“You’ll see!”

Just as Lei Zhenzi was unsuccessfully asking around for Yue Feng’s personal phone number, his own phone suddenly rang, displaying an East Mountain Province W-city ID—could it be Yue Feng calling?

Thinking this, Lei Zhenzi sat up straight and answered the call.

“Hello, may I ask who’s calling?”

“Hello, is this the platform broadcaster Lei Zhenzi?

This is Yue Feng!

I heard you’ve been looking for me!”

“Hello, hello, Mr.

Yue, I’m really sorry!

Due to a mistake on my part, I’ve caused you trouble!

I wanted to personally call to apologize, but despite asking many friends, I couldn’t get your personal number.

I managed to get through to your company, but still couldn’t reach you!”

Lei Zhenzi’s attitude over the phone was quite good.

He naturally was a bold, love-and-hate, loath-the-evil type of person; he believed in admitting his mistakes and standing straight to take a punch, somewhat like Yue Feng.

“Apologies aren’t necessary.

I watched your recorded stream, there wasn’t anything too extreme said, and you even threw in a bit of hardcore advertising for us!” Yue Feng spoke cheerfully, not intending to pursue the matter further.

However, these words took on a different meaning in Lei Zhenzi’s ears.

Not pursue further?

Then why call himself?

“Uh…”

“What’s the matter?

Not quite used to it?”

“Indeed, a bit!

To be honest, I am a fisherman myself and the initial intent of doing reviews wasn’t solely for making money,

I’ve done many tests and received numerous calls from manufacturers—those offering money to keep me silent, those who threatened and insulted me, and even those who wanted to sue me or send legal notices, I’ve even encountered threats of physical violence!”

“I just didn’t expect you to not be angry at all!

Having become the Fishing King, your breadth of mind and magnanimity are indeed extraordinary!” Lei Zhenzi complimented unhurriedly.

“Haha, this job is all about offending people, so it’s natural to be disliked!

But looking at the bigger picture, it’s a good thing for the development of the fishing gear circle!

I have an idea, are you interested?”

“Hmm?

What idea, tell me about it!” Lei Zhenzi responded.

“Right now, the fishing gear community is like murky waters lacking industry standards.

Are you interested in doing something for this industry?”

“Could you be more specific?”

Hearing about industry standards, Lei Zhenzi’s eyes lit up.

As someone within the circle, he was well aware of its flaws: inflated fishing line numbers, exaggerated claims about fishing rods, and a lack of uniformity in the flexibility standards for various rods—overall, it was a mess riddled with dishonesty and lack of integrity.

Yue Feng’s few words had directly scratched where Lei Zhenzi itched.

Only then did Yue Feng share his plan, “I want to establish a fishing gear industry alliance!

Set relatively unified standards, and then certify the major brands’ products that meet these standards!

I can oversee the broad direction, but for practical operations, I need manpower.

Are you interested?

Don’t worry, I won’t let you work for free.

I’ll give you a basic salary of five thousand a month, and various preparatory expenses can be reimbursed!

Money, I’ve made it, and aside from making money, let’s do something good for the industry together!”

Hearing Yue Feng’s proposal, Lei Zhenzi was quite tempted.

The salary was a minor thing; even without a salary, relying on the revenue from video clicks, he made tens of thousands a month, which wasn’t worse than having a job.

Objectively speaking, Yue Feng’s proposal was a good thing.

If standards could be unified, it would greatly benefit future development!

But looking at it rationally, it seemed a bit impractical.

Why say this?

The fishing gear industry was a niche market with unregulated development, inherently linked to its current situation.

Whether it’s major factories or small workshops, registering a trademark, launching several devices, and releasing a few products was enough to enter the industry; the thresholds were low and technological barriers for products were low too—transparent to the point of seeing the bottom at a glance, devoid of substantial potential.

Under such conditions, how could one persuade others to join one’s alliance?

Why would others abide by your standards?

If it’s all obligation with no rights, even if it looks good on a macro level, people won’t buy into it.

“Hey?

Are you still listening?” Yue Feng asked when he saw no response.

“I’m here, I’m here!

I actually have considered what you mentioned, but it’s not easy to implement!

In the fishing gear industry, a small workshop can produce goods, convincing others to adopt our standards is unrealistic!” Lei Zhenzi said with a frown.

Yue Feng chuckled, “If I can solve this problem, would you help me?”

“You can solve it?

How?” Lei Zhenzi was intrigued!

If this problem could be resolved, the benefits would be immense, not only in terms of profits but also in personal achievement.

Speaking broadly, it could even earn a place in the history of fishing gear development.
