Zhang Yang had just stepped off the stage with the champion's prize—a thousand-yuan fishing rod—when he was imdiately surrounded by a group of anglers he wasn't very familiar with!
"Zhang Yang, where is your tackle shop located?"
"Is the bait you use self-made? Do you sell it in the shop? I'd like to buy two packs to try it out!"
"I heard your additive works really well, do you have any with you now? I'll take a bottle!!"
...
The angling community in W City isn't very large, and renowned anglers rarely share their secret techniques for free.
Now, with a sudden ergence of a tackle shop owner who swept the top five positions in the fishing competition, these custors who love fishing imdiately found their direction.
No matter what the actual effectiveness is, if soone can achieve such results, it ans they have sothing special. It's worth buying so bait and additives to try.
Facing the eager crowd, Zhang Yang politely responded to everyone, exchanged phone numbers, joined a QQ group, and answered simple questions, etc.
In short, he entered the friendship contest aiming to expand the permanent custor base of his shop, and this scene was exactly what Zhang Yang had hoped for.
Delayed by the enthusiastic anglers, it took more than half an hour to settle everything properly, but fortunately, Old Zhao and the others were loyal and waited for Zhang Yang without leaving.
Zhang Yang greeted the fishing site owner, ng Xiangqiu, then got into Old Zhao's car. Achieving such a good result definitely called for a celebration!
The small group of five found a dog at restaurant on the town's comrcial street and enthusiastically started their celebration banquet.
The most excited of the five was Wang Yan. Before eting Zhang Yang, he was just a pseudo-literary youth who was learning to fish. His skills improved dramatically in just over half a month.
This ti, by combining luck and skill, he directly won the second place in the Black Pit Friendship Contest, with just one high-end fishing rod from Ming Lun valued at several hundred to over a thousand yuan. This made Wang Yan particularly excited.
Wang Yan bit open a bottle of beer with his mouth and raised it: "Usually, I rarely admire anyone, but Zhang Yang, you are one! You accurately predicted all the fishing conditions today! Co, let chug this one to start!"
After saying that, Wang Yan gulped down a whole bottle of beer in one go.
Seeing Wang Yan in high spirits, ng Fan also opened a can of Coke and gestured to Zhang Yang, then drank it all.
"I'm driving, so I can't drink, but I'm very happy to achieve such results. I also want to thank Brother Yang! I'll use Coke instead of wine and chug one too!"
With the two expressing their sentints, the atmosphere imdiately lifted.
Zhao Bingguang grabbed a beer opener, opened a case of beer and set it on the table, chuckling: "Save the emotional talk for later! Let's first hear a few words from our team leader, Zhang Yang!"
Seeing all four pairs of eyes on him, Zhang Yang didn't hold back, cleared his throat, and said: "We're all old friends here, so I won't say polite words!
I, Zhang Yang, have no special skills; my only hobby is fishing! Getting to know everyone is a blessing from heaven! Earning everyone's recognition is my good fortune!
I didn't expect us to sweep the top five positions today; everyone's performance was much better than expected!
I don't like beating around the bush with friends, so I'll speak straightforwardly.
For you, winning might just an getting a rod—tomorrow it's back to work or fishing as usual!
But for , it's of great significance!
The advertising effect of us taking the top five today will help develop many new custors and et many more anglers!
It will improve my shop's business and help earn more money to support my family!
I, Zhang Yang, thank everyone for your support!"
After pouring his heart out, the atmosphere at the table heated up even more.
Old Zhao raised his glass first: "Alright, let's not get emotional! Running a business and making money is natural! Friends connect through shared interests! I propose a toast to today's victory!"
"Cheers!"
"Bottoms up!"
Everyone raised their glasses and drained the cold beer.
Over the next hour or so, the celebration banquet among the five spiraled into chaos.
Originally, Xiao ng drank Coke, but midway, he was swept up in the atmosphere of competitive drinking and called his boss to take a leave, returning to switch to beer.
The five of them drank a total of five and a half cases of Tsingtao Beer and still wanted more. If it weren't for soone calling Zhang Yang to order goods, it's uncertain when the al would have ended.
By the ti Zhang Yang returned to the shop after paying the bill, it was already past two in the afternoon.
From Zhang Yang's return, custors ca almost continuously throughout the afternoon.
Many new faces he had just t at the fishing site arrived at the shop to buy Zhang Yang's fish bait and additives.
By the ti it was nearly dark, the stock on Zhang Yang's shelves had been completely sold out.
In just half an afternoon, the main products of additives and bait brought in over four thousand yuan in sales, with revenues soaring.
And that wasn't all; it seed today was particularly lucky for Zhang Yang. As evening approached, he received a call from the owner of the Xinda wholesale market.
"Sister-in-law, any instructions?"
"Xiao Zhang, I called to discuss the partnership deal we talked about last ti regarding the Rice for Making Wine.
I followed the thod we discussed and distributed so samples, and the feedback from distributors was quite positive. Several people have asked for more stock.
I want to find out how soon we can get the goods if we place an order now?"
Hearing the word "order," Zhang Yang perked up.
"How much are you ordering? I have so stock on hand, but if the quantity is too large, brewing more herbal alcohol will take ti!"
It had been about ten days since the sample was sent out, and Zhang Yang originally thought it was a lost cause, but it seems persistence pays off, as the owner called to order.
"My brother and I are busy with the shop's wholesale business and hardly have ti to fish, so we rely on familiar distributors to collect user feedback. That's why it took a bit longer to contact you!
But the effect of this Rice for Making Wine is really impressive! Let's start with ten boxes for the first batch!"
"Ten boxes? Six hundred packs?"
Zhang Yang felt a bit excited upon hearing this number.
Each pack is a pound, and six hundred packs ans six hundred pounds. Considering the reserves of brewed herbal wine at ho, it might just suffice.
"Yes! Let's start with this for the first batch! Rice for Making Wine is quite the consumable, it's essential for fishing. Once it's sold out, I'll co to you for more!"
"Alright! I'll prepare over the next day or two and ship it out.
But after this batch, the next one will be a bit delayed as it takes about a week to brew the new herbal wine. Once we expand production, we can et the demand!"
"Sounds good! The tiline is acceptable! By the way, what are the wholesale and retail prices for this Rice for Making Wine?"
