Huang Wei's feelings aside, I have something special in the store that I think would be perfect for you all! There's no freshwater here, so let's head over to the other side and try out the Iso Rod. I'll demonstrate it for you; this thing is specifically designed for professional Fishing Masters!
As soon as I finished speaking, I grabbed a Smart Fishing Rod from the shelf and took a handful of Black Bream Bait, calling Xiao Yu to join me on the way over. This rod is linked to Xiao Yu's account, so I'll need to use his phone for the demonstration and let him see his own sales skills in action.
Shi Tian's words piqued a few people's interest. He only mentioned that it was made for competitions, but what exactly was it designed for? If you want us to come over and check it out, you need to explain clearly what it's about!
Shi Tian didn't care about their concerns. He cast out a Wo Liao, hooked on a bait, and started reeling in. "Brother Lei, do you only fish in freshwater? The short videos about freshwater fishing are really competitive! Why not try some Sea Fishing?"
Look at Hai Li's catches; they have all kinds of fish, big and small, each with its own story! Liu Lei wasn't relying on the meager prize money from competitive tournaments; his team was focused on generating income through short videos. Since they're doing short videos, they should create topics that attract viewers!
There's no point in freshwater short videos right now; there are several big mountains above, and when it comes to skills, you can't compete with others. In terms of teamwork, you can't even compare. When talking to fans about hooks and floats or fishing methods, how much do you really know? Can you explain it all?
Moreover, different fishing methods target different species, which are distributed across various regions. If you start discussing this, you'll cut off your audience right away—how can you expect to go viral?
What is essential in short videos? It's not just about technique; it's about personality. You need your own style; copying others will only get you scraps! It seems Liu Lei's team won't be able to develop their unique characteristics. If they had that capability combined with Liu Lei's skills, their live streaming would have already taken off. Shi Tian had some quirky ideas but didn't know Liu Lei well enough to share them.
The risks involved are significant; it's easy to break something down but hard to build it back up. What if they changed their live streaming style and couldn't regain their previous followers? What then?
Even if an idea can make a video popular for one or two episodes, if the same formula is repeated too often, people will get bored—what happens after that?
We've thought about it and are still preparing! We should have some Sea Fishing videos coming soon! Hearing "Sea Fishing," Liu Lei's eyes lit up; this could be worth trying.
I lifted the rod and caught a Yellowfin Snapper. Shi Tian waved for Xiao Yu to bring over his phone and opened Social Media to show the fish animation: "Come on, Brother Lei, take a look! This shows the entire situation of the fish just caught along with how the rod and line were under tension. This could be useful for your training!"
Since Liu Lei mentioned they had ideas of their own, the topic of Sea Fishing was put aside. I handed the phone to Liu Lei while pulling Xiao Yu over to introduce him to the fish animation capabilities. Then I turned and handed the rod to someone nearby: "Here, why don't you all give this rod a try? Let Brother Lei see how your techniques measure up!"
They would definitely buy the Smart Fishing Rod; right now, I just wanted to get these people familiar with the Iso Rod and lead them into the world of Sea Fishing—then they'd surely want an Iso Rod too!
After handing over the rod, I rushed back into the store to grab two more Sample Iso Rods and a bag of Black Bream Bait. I instructed Xiao Feng to assemble another rod quickly and send it over once it's ready; I needed everyone to get hands-on experience.
The Iso Rod I left in Changsha might not come back anytime soon; I'm not counting on it in the short term. Having more Sample rods won't go to waste either; after the Rock Fishing Tournament wraps up, these extra Sample rods will be used for hosting future events!
Under the guidance of Shi Tian, everyone took turns baiting and casting their lines. Liu Lei was still engrossed in studying Zhongyu Animation when the first teammate who caught a fish using the Iso Rod returned from the water, excitedly sharing their success. This was just the kind of inspiration Liu Lei needed after spending half a day on his research.
With a bag of Black Bream Bait in hand, Liu Lei hadn’t even started his Sea Fishing short video or live streaming yet, but his team members were already hooked on Sea Fishing. One by one, they were reeling in fish, and Liu Lei couldn’t help but feel a twinge of excitement himself.
After organizing the group, he headed back to the shop, carrying the Diving Boat. Wo Liao poured a bag of Sea Bass Bait into the boat. Since these folks fished every day, he figured that the small Black Sea Bream wouldn’t be enough to keep them entertained, so he decided to introduce some high-tech equipment.
The Diving Boat was equipped with a Fish Finder, which wasn’t anything new; even decent Diving Boats like Dog Dong Black Cat had this feature. Liu Lei opened the social media app on his phone and marked an area on the map before launching the Diving Boat into the water. There was no need for manual operation; the Diving Boat immediately began its work.
Once the Fish Finder was activated, it scanned the entire marked area back and forth, creating a fish distribution map on Liu Lei’s phone. He focused on the area with the highest density of fish and directed the boat over. Wo Liao slowly released the bait into a small section of water, and all they had to do now was wait to cast their lines at that spot!
