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

In fact, there are no other fishing grounds or ponds in the entire Linjiang City and the surrounding counties.

As the only one of its kind in this area, Qingshan Fishing Park is indeed a leader.

These days, if you randomly pick a fisherman on the street, regardless of whether he has ever been to Qingshan Fishing Park, he will definitely know about this place.

After all, in later generations, in an era when fishing spots were everywhere, many anglers preferred wild fishing to commercial fishing ponds.

Jiang Xia knew that in this market, his success would inevitably attract many followers and imitators.

But today's very straightforward words mean that no matter how many fishing grounds there are later, as long as Qingshan Fishing Park is still there and no serious incidents occur at Qingshan Fishing Park, it will always be the industry leader in this area.

After Jiangxia sat down, the fishermen in the audience didn't have any particularly special reaction.

They all subconsciously thought that Jiang Xia was right when he said that Qingshan Fishing Park was the pioneer and founder. After all, many people didn't even know that there was such a reservoir that was specially put with fish for people to fish in before they heard about Qingshan Fishing Park.

The opening ceremony was still ongoing.

The host, dressed in a glamorous gown and holding a card, finally announced the most important guest of the competition:

"Now, let's give a round of applause to our last judge of the Qingshan Fishing Masters Tournament."

Former leaders of the Department of Culture and Tourism, president of the Provincial Fishing Association, vice president of the Provincial Calligraphy Association, vice president of the Provincial Culture Association, director of the Provincial Traditional Painting Association, honorary professor of the Provincial Academy of Culture, inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of bamboo fishing rods, provincial labor... Mr. Qin Songnian, please take the stage!

A series of titles were slowly uttered as the host spoke.

The audience below the stage was immediately dumbfounded!

Believe it or not, quite a few people present had heard of Qin Songnian's name.

Even those who hadn't heard of this name knew in their hearts that a real big shot had arrived.

Out of respect for the bigwig, the audience instinctively burst into enthusiastic applause.

Upon seeing this scene, Qin Songnian, dressed in a formal Zhongshan suit, walked happily onto the stage.

Then, the host quickly bent down and handed the microphone to the other person.

Taking the microphone, Qin Songnian began to speak in a way that was not particularly formal.

"Friends, I know you old folks don't like listening to official talk, and I don't really like speaking official talk either."

But now that you're here, this old man definitely has to tell you something.

We are gathered here today because of fishing.

Fishing is a long-standing recreational hobby in our country, so today I'd like to talk to you about its history.

"What do you all think, is that alright?"

Hearing the old man's approachable demeanor and lack of airs, the crowd below instantly became enthusiastic, responding loudly:

"good!"

"Ouch!" On stage, Qin Songnian heard the shouts from below, picked his ear, and chuckled, "This old man is too old for loud answers like those young people. Let's just speak quietly!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd below burst into laughter.

Then, the old man began his formal speech as the president of the fishing association.

"When talking about the history of fishing, one cannot help but mention Jiang Ziya fishing..."

“…………”

The old man didn't give a long speech; he quickly gave a brief explanation of the history of fishing in China.

Surprisingly, the audience and the contestants seemed to really enjoy listening to it.

I found it much more pleasant to listen to and more down-to-earth than some of the empty, grandiose opening remarks at events.

After Qin Songnian finished speaking and sat down in his seat, the opening ceremony came to an end.

Next was the pre-match raffle, followed by the pre-match warm-up matches.

In his previous life, Jiang Xia did not participate in fishing competitions and did not know that fishing competitions had a warm-up phase.

Currently, online reports on fishing competitions are mostly brief, without mentioning specific details such as the competition format and warm-up activities.

However, after discussion, Jiangxia still added this element to their competition.

That means that from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM today, after the drawing of lots, the contestants will go to their respective competition spots to fish for an hour to familiarize themselves with the area, and then wait for the main competition to begin in the afternoon.

Soon, the host said, "Now we are about to start the warm-up session of our competition. However, before we warm up, our General Manager Jiang has prepared a lucky draw for everyone."

"First of all, let's thank Liqiang Computer for providing the grand prize—a desktop computer worth 5000 yuan!"

"Now, the participants can take their number plates and come to our prize draw area to participate in the prize draw."

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaobo and his group were already waiting in front of several large red boxes labeled "Award".

Since it's a lottery, Jiang Xia can't let the contestants go home empty-handed if they don't win a computer.

In addition to the computer sponsored by Li Qiang, he also prepared some daily necessities such as laundry detergent and dish soap, as well as water cups for his fishing spot.

As for the other computer, we'll save it for when the competition ends.

Soon, a large crowd gathered around the raffle box, and Jiang Xiaobo, holding a megaphone, shouted loudly:

"Please line up, everyone has a chance to win a big prize!"

These contestants came to participate in the competition, not just to enter the prize draw.

Upon hearing Jiang Xiaobo's call, everyone spontaneously formed a line.

They began to systematically pull out slips of paper from the box.

"The water cup I drew."

"A bag of laundry detergent?"

"Baseball cap?"

Where do I collect my prize?

Su Qing, standing in front of a large pile of goods, shouted loudly:

"Winners, come claim your prizes here!"

With that one shout, she was quickly surrounded by people.

Seeing this, she could only helplessly shout:

"Yes, yes, please line up!"

Jiang Xia lit a cigarette, stood there watching the scene, and thought to himself, "This looks like a supermarket promotion!"

Before long, a fisherman excitedly shouted while holding his prize ticket:

"I won! I won! It says 'computer' on it, I won!"

Many of the contestants behind him looked disappointed upon hearing this.

There's only one grand prize; if the other person wins, you'll have no chance!

However, many people also greeted the other party with words of congratulations.

Seeing this, Jiang Xia walked over and asked Li Qiang to help carry the computer, then pulled the fisherman onto the stage.

Then, he winked at the host who was resting nearby.

Immediately afterwards, the host stood up, took the microphone, and said:

"Aren't you happy to have won the grand prize?!"

The smiling fisherman shouted upon hearing this:

"happy!"
