Let's go back to 2008, starting with a recreational fishing park.

After taking Ma Yuzhen and the others on a nice stroll around the reservoir, Jiang Xia learned that they hadn't eaten breakfast yet.

He quickly asked Su Qing to cook some shredded pork noodles for them to eat, saying that he would make proper arrangements for them at noon.

Seeing this, Ma Yuzhen said that the shredded pork noodles were already very good, and that they could just eat something simple for lunch. She said that they were here to work, not to enjoy themselves.

Jiang Xia agreed to what the other party said on the surface, but secretly told Su Qing to cook something nice for lunch.

Because Jiang Xia had many other things to do, he didn't stay with Ma Yuzhen and the others. Instead, he arranged for Jiang Xiaobo to take care of them and told them to just tell Jiang Xiaobo if they needed anything.

While Ma Yuzhen and the others were having dinner together, Jiang Xia strolled over to the open space next to the reservoir parking lot with his hands behind his back.

At that moment, several workers were busy among a pile of steel structures.

This stage was set up by Jiang Xia, and it was also arranged by his father, Jiang Jianguo.

Not far away, at the intersection facing the reservoir, another group of workers, wearing safety harnesses, were banging and hammering tools in mid-air.

They were busy installing a very eye-catching, huge "GG" sign.

This GG sign is ten meters long and three meters wide, and its imposing presence is quite overwhelming.

Looking up, the main image of the GG brand features a megalodon that almost dominates the entire image. Its ferocious teeth and fierce posture evoke a sense of megalophobia at first glance.

If you look closely, you can clearly see a lone boat quietly floating on the vast sea in the corner of the picture.

At this moment, a fisherman wearing a baseball cap stood on the small boat, calmly gazing at the sea, his hand gripping a fishing rod tightly.

From the footage, it is clear that the fisherman's back is ramrod straight as he uses all his strength to pull the fishing rod in his hand. And looking down along the fishing rod, the hook is firmly caught in the mouth of the megalodon!

Besides the visually striking image, at the very top of the GG sign, in bold font, it clearly states:

The words "The First Qingshan Fishing Park Fishing Masters Tournament" were displayed.

Corresponding to the Qingshan Fishing Park is the equally eye-catching line of text at the bottom of the GG sign.

The label reads: This competition is generously sponsored by Yule World Fishing Tackle Store.

Below the words, the detailed address of the fishing tackle shop is clearly marked.

……

Jiang Xia stood quietly with his hands behind his back, looking at the nearly completed GG sign with a satisfied expression on his face.

This huge thing is the item he invested the most in this competition.

The production and installation costs alone amounted to more than ten thousand yuan.

Thinking about this, Jiang Xia felt a pang of heartache. Although many things for this competition were sponsored by others, the money he had spent in recent days had already left his wallet, which had just been full for a short time, almost empty again.

However, despite its high price, this big device can only be used during the competition due to the specific font used on it.

But Jiang Xia knew in his heart that this thing was definitely the thing that would make the fishing ground look better in this competition.

Based on later experience, the sheer size of such a colossal object creates a powerful impact that can leave a lasting impression on people's minds.

In particular, the image above was chosen by myself after a long period of time with the perspective of later generations.

Without looking at the GG card any further, Jiang Xia approached the workers who were setting up the steel structure stage.

At this moment, Liu Hanmin, Jiang Jianguo's top general, was using an electric wrench to screw on the stage frame.

"Uncle Liu, will this stage be finished today?" Jiang Xia walked up to him and offered him a cigarette.

Old Liu took the cigarette, lit it, glanced around at the progress of the stage, and nodded: "Almost done. I reckon it should be finished by tomorrow morning at the latest."

Hearing that it would be tomorrow morning, Jiang Xia frowned. He was thinking that if the number of applicants was full today, they would hold a fish release ceremony tomorrow first.

Liu Hanmin, noticing Jiang Xia's furrowed brow, asked directly, "Xiaxia, is it needed tomorrow?"

Jiang Xia nodded: "It might be needed tomorrow, but it's still uncertain."

Upon hearing this, Liu Hanmin immediately said, "If that's the case, then I definitely can't delay your business. Xiaxia, don't worry, even if I have to work overtime until midnight today, I'll still get this done."

Hearing Liu Hanmin say this, Jiang Xia felt relieved.

As the father's top lieutenant, what the other party said was still trustworthy.

At this moment, Yang Xiaoyue ran over with small, quick steps and said to Jiang Xia:

"Brother, a few new people have signed up for the office."

Jiang Xia nodded, then said to Liu Hanmin:

"Uncle, you go ahead with your work, I'll go take a look over there first."

Liu Hanmin nodded and replied, "Go ahead and get busy. Don't worry about me; I won't delay your work."

"Okay, then please be careful." Jiang Xia waved to the other person and walked towards the office with Yang Xiaoyue.

……

When Jiang Xia arrived at the office, he saw several contestants who had come to register for the competition.

Judging from their accents, none of them seemed to be locals from Linjiang.

After making some inquiries, he learned that the other party was from Jinghai City and had come here specifically to participate in the competition he had organized.

Jiangxia is not surprised by this situation. In the past two days, most of the people who have signed up are anglers from other places.

People from Linhai and the surrounding areas had already registered two days before the competition even started.

After collecting the registration fees, Jiang Xia handed the receipts to the group.

Then, the group paid the fishing fee, saying they wanted to fish at the fishing spot for a day to practice.

Since the other people paid to fish, Jiang Xia didn't object. He simply gave them several red fishing spot number tags and told them to take them to find their spots.

After the group left with their fishing gear bags, Jiang Xia took out a stack of registration forms from his drawer and started compiling the statistics.

After a while, he put down the registration form in his hand, feeling somewhat relieved.

Because at this point, only three spots remain in the competition.

Fortunately, there wasn't much to do at the moment, so we were able to do the statistics. Otherwise, the number of registered participants might have exceeded the number of participants required for the competition.

You have to understand that our fishing spot only has 200 spots. If we exceed that number and it's not noticed yet, it will be a real problem when other anglers find out they've registered but don't have a spot.

After pondering for a while, Jiang Xia decided to announce the fish-releasing ceremony to be held tomorrow directly in the group chat.

Anyway, there are only three people left, so it doesn't matter if no one signs up.
