The person you're asking about, President Zhao, Zhao Bingguang, is my partner and also the general manager of our company. I am the chairman of the company, and also the leader of the company's competition team! 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The second question, is the fish situation announced in the competition regulations accurate? I can say with great responsibility, yes!

You can go back and check the appendix in the competition regulations directory, including the reservoir's size, the original fish situation in the reservoir, the number, type, and weight of fish added before the competition, all have detailed introductions.

If you're interested, you can check out the previous video clips on our company account, and find the earliest fish stocking videos. As for the video footage of this fish stocking, the latest clip on my account is it! No editing, just fast forward, all in one shot.

All of this content is publicly available online. As long as you want to know, just enter the keywords, you can search and watch at any time!

Regarding the announcement of the fish and water situation, I think our side as the organizers has been very sincere, fulfilling the promise of fairness, justice, and openness to all anglers!

I've explained so much, you ask me, is there any intentional concealment or blocking? Or taking parts for the whole? The answer doesn't need me to reply; you naturally have a judgment in your heart.

Answering the third question again, will our team's anglers have an advantage in the fish situation?

I'll answer you very forthrightly, yes, they would have an advantage. Before the reservoir was closed for a week, they occasionally came here to fish, do live streams!

In fact, the reservoir here is originally the place where our company account does live fishing!

But would this little advantage allow our team's anglers to achieve good results? I think saying this is a bit unfair!

Even at the Olympics, the host athletes have the advantage of competing at home, whether in location or psychology. Can our people not participate in the competition because of this advantage? This is unfair to us.

Although our competition team's members have not yet received national-level competitive fishing master honors, it doesn't mean they are rookies.

Since the end of the year before last, they have gradually made a mark in various national competitions and have won quite a few championships in all sorts of large and small competitions!

Speaking of myself, in the just-concluded Dongshan Division Fishing King Cup preliminaries, I participated as a visitor and also won a championship. Doesn't this prove strength?

Finally, you asked me about fishing for silver carp and bighead carp!

In the reservoir, when other fish are not moving from the bottom around noon, is it problematic for me to try fishing for silver carp and bighead carp?

The fish species distribution in the reservoir already told everyone there's silver carp and bighead carp here. You didn't try, but blamed me?

I tried silver carp and bighead carp on a whim; the team members didn't fish them, and the results were better than others. Blaming the silver carp and bighead carp again?

As for the single-tail weight, I think anyone with a little competition knowledge knows it's purely a matter of luck, good timing.

If you think there's some insight or secret in catching big fish, I'd be happy to learn from you! If you can demonstrate live for everyone, I would be genuinely teachable!"

Zhang Yang's voice wasn't loud, but his reply was calm and composed, keeping a very rational attitude. After answering each question, his eyes burned as he stared at the questioning Li Jun in the audience.

These questions were what someone on the phone instructed Li Jun to ask. Li Jun himself hadn't personally verified them one by one, and Zhang Yang's live explanation made Li Jun feel a bit dazed.

"Well... that's not right! Your team members can't possibly be stronger than us professional anglers, can they?"

In slight panic, Li Jun asked a rather low-level question.

Zhang Yang grinned and said, "What's the deal with professional anglers? In competitive arenas, you might indeed have superior skills, but here in the reservoir, how much stronger can you be in reservoir fishing?

A 7.2-meter fishing rod, how many times a year can you touch it in competitive matches? How often do you come across such enjoyable fishing situations like our carnival?

Questioning me for cheating? Questioning the competition for being rigged? Do you know how much money was spent just on basic infrastructure construction and investment for organizing this competition?

In front of so many brothers, I don't need to hide anything. Not counting the fish stocking for the reservoir, just road hardening, infrastructure construction, various investments amount to nearly two million!

Just to provide everyone with a good environment, none of this money came from the platform. All were personally paid by me!

For hosting this carnival, I only took the platform's twenty thousand fish stocking fee.

And yet, you still question me for cheating! Go check online, how much goods my company account sells in a month; do I lack this petty cash?"

Saying the last sentence "Do I lack this petty cash?", Zhang Yang's tone was extremely domineering.

Under his half-smiling gaze, Li Jun scratched his head, unsure of how to continue questioning.

Every statement and clause Zhang Yang said could withstand verification, under everyone's eyes. Unless one is foolish, they surely wouldn't lie.

Seeing Li Jun rendered speechless by the questions, Zhang Yang continued: "I know many of you aren't pleased seeing me as the host winning the championship!

No problem, we are all fellow anglers; I don't get angry! I understand your feelings too!

Originally, I planned to announce it after the award ceremony was over. Now simply, using this opportunity, let's announce it ahead!"

Xiao Wei, go to the backstage and invite the Hope Project representatives who came for the donation to the front!"

Xiao Wei obediently nodded and quickly went backstage, inviting a few staff members who came to accept the donation to the front.

"Take a good look, I invited the Hope Project donation representatives from the city right after knowing I won the championship!

Now in front of everyone, I proudly announce a decision!

In this Kuaishou Fishing Carnival, all our team's competition prize money will be donated to the Hope Project free of charge, to prepare Hope Primary Schools for children in remote and impoverished areas!

In addition to the prize money, our Famous Fishing Tackle Company will also donate an extra fifty thousand!

I personally believe, fishing is not an idle pursuit that leads to decadence, and the fishing tackle industry is not an unserious industry!

It provides employment locally, taxes to the government, and leisure convenience to ordinary people!

We anglers, having earned money relying on the industry, should have more social responsibility!

I, Zhang Yang, though of little talent, am willing to fulfill this commitment with actual actions! I also hope all my peers will work hard with me!

Alright, I've said everything! If anyone has questions, feel free to raise them on the spot, I will hold nothing back and answer all!"

Silence!

Silence!

The large venue was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop!

Unsure if three seconds, or five seconds, or even longer passed.

Suddenly, someone spontaneously started clapping, followed by more people starting to clap, and within seconds, applause thundered from the stage and audience.

Recently, the competing anglers who were influenced by others were thoroughly conquered by Zhang Yang's passionate speech.

Who said Zhang Yang was rigging the game? This, my goodness, at best would count as a public plan.

Is using a public plan against the rules? Clearly not!

And judging by Zhang Yang's words, spending millions just on preparing the venue, would he care about this prize money?

Analyzing from the timeline, before anyone raised doubts, Zhang Yang had already sent someone to invite the donation staff, which clearly wasn't a last-minute decision to silence skeptics.

So what is there to doubt?

Donating to the Hope Project is a good deed that allows one to stand tall wherever they go.

Who would exhaust every effort to win prize money, then donate it to the Hope Project? Saying someone is rigging? Isn't this nonsense? Such a small-minded perspective!

"Wow! Having said this much, why even argue further! We're also conscientious anglers, let's donate the prize I won too, for building schools for kids!"

"Here's five thousand, I'll donate too!"

"I'm donating too!"

...

Not sure who started it, but with the atmosphere set up to this point, a group of anglers who hadn't even warmed their prize money began stating they would donate funds too.

This is good now, what was originally a smooth award ceremony turned into a Hope Project donation conference, except for a few anglers whose conditions were indeed not good, most of the prize money miraculously got donated.
