Fishing Livestream
Chapter 98 - 98 98 Preparations

98: Chapter 98 Preparations 98: Chapter 98 Preparations Yue Feng quickly got busy after initially making a plan.

Preparing something was far from as simple as it looked on the surface; first and foremost, it was necessary to straighten out each link in the chain.

Yue Feng hung up the phone and, no longer feeling sleepy, took out some paper and a pen to start jotting down his ideas, carefully considering each aspect he thought of.

To achieve his goal, the primary prerequisite was to communicate with the owner of the reservoir and get permission.

So Yue Feng took out his mobile phone and dialed Ma Boqiang.

Qiangzi was a typical night owl, and this was the time he usually went out.

The phone rang three times before it was picked up.

The background noise on the other end was a bit loud, as if he was in a KTV or a similar entertainment venue.

“Hey!

Feng, what’s up?

Why are you looking for me so late at night?” Qiangzi asked with a bit of a slur in his speech.

“Yeah, there is something I need to bother you about!

Can you talk right now?

You sound a bit slurred—are you drunk?”

“No, no problem!

This bit of alcohol won’t take me down!

What’s the matter?

Just say it!

I’ll definitely get things sorted out for you!” Qiangzi said generously.

“Cliff Dam Reservoir, do you know the exact opening times?

I want to organize a small-scale fan fishing event, and go there again soon!”

“Seems like it’s around May Day!

I’m not too sure about the specifics!

If we want to go, let’s just go!

I’ll give them a heads-up in advance.

It will definitely work out!

The reservoir owner knows about us catching and releasing big fish; he even called me specifically to ask about it.

It sounds like, as long as we are the ones going, we can pretty much do whatever we want with the fish!”

Yue Feng thought for a moment and then said, “Alright!

Tomorrow during the day, you give the reservoir owner a call, help me follow up on this issue!

Tell him your friend wants to use their reservoir for a small live-streamed fishing event, offering two hundred yuan per rod!

It will be about a dozen people!”

“Okay!

I’ll ask for you tomorrow noon!

I’ll call you when I have news!” Ma Boqiang agreed readily.

After communicating with Qiangzi, the big premise of organizing the fishing event was essentially okay; what remained were the various details.

The so-called fan fishing event was actually about inviting a group of fans who liked fishing as well as watching Yue Feng’s live streams to meet offline and interact.

Fish a bit, drink a bit, eat some meat!

Just a bunch of guys, their motivation for meeting up offline wasn’t as complex as that of some look-centric streamers; comparatively, planning the process was simpler.

Yue Feng had initially planned the entire trip, including preparation work, to take three days.

The first day, he would arrive the night before to adjust the campsite and its various aspects, prepare food, alcoholic beverages, and other items that needed to be purchased nearby.

He would prepare any lacking equipment either by renting or borrowing.

If possible, Yue Feng also planned to bait the fishing spots for the fans ahead of time.

After coming from far away, they had to catch some fish.

He set the time for gathering, and on the second morning, everyone would meet at the agreed location and then head to the reservoir campsite.

By the time camp was set up, it would likely be noon or even afternoon.

Once done, the fans were free to try fishing or engage in any other activity.

The evening would feature a barbecue party.

In Yue Feng’s plan, this was a major highlight of the event and a key attraction of the live stream.

Depending on the number of people, Yue Feng tentatively planned to have at least one sheep at the base, with various fruits, vegetables, and beverages to go around.

On the third day, everyone could enjoy another day of activities, and depending on the distance, decide when to break camp.

By evening, the area would be cleared and the event over.

With the schedule arranged, the next step was personnel.

First and foremost, Qiangzi was definitely going, after all, it was thanks to his connections!

It would be best if Brother Liu could also lend a hand!

Advance notice had to be given to borrow Brother Liu’s equipment and vehicle, and if there were any shortages in fuel or gas, they needed to be replenished in advance!

Upon a simple calculation, things didn’t seem as complicated as they had at the start.

If any unforeseen issues arose, they were mostly logistical.

There were villages near the reservoir, with clear roads.

Even if there were unexpected shortages, they could be solved with money, which was not a big problem.

After smoothing out the general procedures, Yue Feng looked up and realized it was nearly twelve o’clock.

He had to open up early the next day, so after a simple wash, he went to bed to rest.

The next morning, Yue Feng was woken by his alarm clock, got up with panda eyes, and opened up for business.

By noon, when he received Qiangzi’s feedback call, the weight finally lifted from Yue Feng’s heart.

The reservoir owner had agreed readily.

Yue Feng called Brother Liu, briefly explained the situation, and Brother Liu accepted without hesitation.

Brother Liu, by nature, loved lively gatherings and fun.

Having interacted with Yue Feng, he found they got along well.

The date Yue Feng had set for the event before May Day was also a time when Brother Liu had plenty of free time, so helping Yue Feng was a simple matter for him.

That afternoon, Brother Liu drove his car to Yue Feng’s shop.

“Yo!

Busy, I see?” Brother Liu greeted Yue Feng, who was tying hooks behind the counter, as he walked in.

Having been out for two days, Yue Feng had accumulated a backlog of customer orders he hadn’t completed.

Instead of going out for a live broadcast in the afternoon, he was busy tying hooks and rigging lines, replenishing stock.

“Brother Liu’s here, come in and take a seat!” Yue Feng set aside his work, heated water for tea, and extended a warm welcome.

“I more or less understood what you said on the phone.

I’m here to finalize some details and make sure everything is right,” Liu Fengnian said without any air of superiority.

Brother Liu was not being boastful.

Managing a factory with hundreds of employees to be orderly and clear was no big deal for him, so this small task was trivial in comparison.

The two discussed and went through the entire trip and plan once more, and Brother Liu even estimated the rough cost.

Including the three thousand yuan fishing fee to the reservoir owner, the total cost of Yue Feng’s event was estimated to be between five to six thousand yuan, which should be sufficient.

Since it was an outdoor camping event, accommodation costs were negligible, with the main expenses concentrated on the food during the gathering.

Yue Feng, having earned over ten thousand yuan from his live broadcasts so far, could afford the five to six thousand yuan expenses.

Once the general process was sorted out, the rest was just details, such as how to organize the barbecue party’s program, what type of menu and drinks to offer; Yue Feng had no concept of these kinds of arrangements.

Brother Liu suggested bringing a set of sound equipment, eat meat, drink, sing—do whatever makes you happy, just go all out!

After going over the details, Liu Fengnian asked, “By the way, there’s another question for you, how are you planning the fan participation list for the fishing event?”

Hearing Brother Liu ask that, Yue Feng smacked his forehead, right, how could he have forgotten about that!

How to arrange the fan list was a big issue!
