Two groups of people, both day and night, took turns occupying the best fishing spots more punctually than going to work, catching hundreds of pounds of fish daily, yielding significant profits.

It wasn't until three days later, when the fish density dropped and the catch decreased significantly, that Zhang Yang and the crew abandoned the fishing spot at Huajian.

After summarizing the results, the group found that over the course of several days, they caught over 1,300 pounds of wild big crucian carp and big carp grass carp, the commercial value of which solidly exceeded ten thousand.

This almost cheat-like three days of intensive fishing not only provided Zhang Yang and the group with great satisfaction and some extra money but also resulted in invaluable material for the new issue of "Wild Fishing Jianghu" on their public account.

The footage had quite a long shoot span, offering plenty of highlights for editing. After discussing with Zhang Yang and Lin Nianwei, Xiao Yi decided to edit the material into three episodes: upper, middle, and lower.

After passing editing and review, the footage was officially presented to the majority of fishing enthusiasts.

Spring Fishing on the Wen River, Over a Thousand Catches in Three Days and Nights, History's Most Intense Wild Fishing Documentary.

With super catchy headline and explosive fish story line, along with different phases featuring Huajian's various wild fishing on-camera crowds, the footage instantly went viral upon upload.

Within just 24 hours of uploading, the public account's views reached over 100k+, with shares and comments exceeding a thousand.

In the following week, a large number of fan anglers participated in discussions in the comment section every day, eagerly anticipating the follow-up content.

Merely from asking for updates and rewards accumulation reached over five thousand yuan, which was unimaginable at such a relatively primitive time point.

The extraordinarily high topic and heat naturally led to a rapid increase in new fan following.

In the week following the upload of the three episodes, Zhang Yang's new public account gained over one hundred thousand followers.

Adding the content from previous issues, the total number of followers of the Wild Fishing Jianghu public account already exceeded 150 thousand.

Zhang Yang's personal fishing self-media account, with these head traffic accounts forming the framework, had initially formed its self-media matrix.

In the following months, several major events related to Zhang Yang occurred!

In June, a notice of demolition and relocation to the building was issued to Zhang Yang's village.

Suddenly, various demolition topics flooded everywhere, with almost identical historical progress reappearing as remembered.

The Zhang Family's own house, plus the old house bought in 2012, all signed demolition contracts en masse.

Just from this, under Zhang Yang's name, they gained five township resettlement houses, with a total market value of over 1.5 million yuan.

After a simple communication with his parents, Zhang Yang decided to keep just one large 150 square-meter house to live in after construction, while the rest were converted into compensation money, ultimately totaling 1.18 million yuan.

Having witnessed the city development process and skyrocketing housing prices, Zhang Yang took the more than one hundred thousand demolition funds and without hesitation purchased two sets of 110 square-meter commercial houses in the most central high-quality district in the city center in full.

These two houses, in the following years, the average price would soar from over 4000 to nearly 12,000, more than doubling, of course, that is a future tale.

Another matter concerns Meng Fan's job.

Originally thought to be a minor incident of using a public car for personal use, it ended up causing quite a stir.

The exposed license plate complaint was exploited by political enemies for making an issue, coinciding with the inspection team investigating W City, nearly costing Meng Fan's leader his political future.

Helplessly, Meng Fan, as the party involved, had to take all the blame, leaving the leisurely small car class and even losing his position.

A despondent Meng Fan thus became a Monkey King escaping from Five Finger Mountain, letting loose.

His family arranged several jobs for him, but he rejected them all with various excuses, spending all day hanging out fishing with the outgoing Zhang Yang for leisure.

Now, at Zhang Yang's stage, with money in hand, sufficient cash flow in the company, and development prospects, absorbing talents like Meng Fan naturally requires no hesitation.

After a serious exchange, Zhang Yang extended an olive branch to this not very old young man with outstanding abilities and good family background.

Meng Fan responded promptly, cheerfully accepting Zhang Yang's invitation, quickly becoming Zhang Yang's partner in outdoor fishing.

Before they both knew it, 2014 passed by in this manner.

The fishing tackle store that Zhang Yang established first at the town has still not expanded, watched over daily by his father and mother.

Earning more or less has become indifferent to Zhang Yang now, mainly allowing his parents to have something to do, completely freeing them from intense and low-value physical labor.

After a year of continuous development, the Black Pit Jianghu public account's followers successfully broke through the 500,000 mark, while the emerging Wild Fishing Jianghu public account also grew to 430,000 followers.

The presence of two head accounts, combined, already approached one million followers.

In the domestic environment at that time, the personal private domain precision flow scale of fishing sports had entirely reached the absolute first echelon, with influence and fame only slightly lower than professional TV stations like Four Seas Fishing and Happy Angling.

Time unconsciously reached May 2015, and an event which Zhang Yang viewed as highly symbolic arrived as scheduled!

The real-time mobile live streaming app Yingke Live, developed and launched first by Beijing Milaiwu Network Technology Co., Ltd., officially went online!

From 2012 to 2015, Zhang Yang laid out preparations three years in advance, deeply engaging in the outdoor fishing direction private domain flow, nurturing and expanding the core team, waiting for this day.

Zhang Yang knew the rise and development of mobile live streaming marked the arrival of a new revolutionary era!

On the very day that Yingke Live officially went online, Zhang Yang gathered all core team members for a meeting to discuss development direction.

The meeting content was simple, adjusting the company's self-media development direction, forming a live streaming team primarily based on the previously filmed fishing teams, immediately entering Yingke Live!

The company had been established for over two years, and Zhang Yang usually operated as a hands-off boss who might appear in the company once in ten days or half a month, with all major operations managed by Old Zhao.

However, in this meeting, Zhang Yang completely changed his usual manner, showing extraordinary firmness.

In matters concerning company development direction, no one's opinion could affect Zhang Yang's decision. This meeting was more of a notification, a command, rather than a discussion!

The public account, operated for more than two years, would indeed continue to update, but as decided by Zhang Yang, the focus of future development would wholly shift towards the live streaming sector!

After the meeting, ordinary employees left the conference room, but Lin Nianwei, responsible for self-media operation, and Zhao Bingguang, the company manager, remained seated.

Waiting until the last employee securely closed the door, Zhao Bingguang could no longer hold back: "Xiao Zhang, isn't this decision too hasty?

I just checked out the Yingke Live you mentioned, and it's merely a newly released software. A quick glance inside shows nothing but singing and dancing, following the old path of YY live streaming.

Do you think it's appropriate to focus the company's self-media business on this?

As the general manager responsible for the company's actual operation, Zhao Bingguang's doubts were also reasonable.

After all, Zhang Yang's strategic adjustment is equivalent to mostly abandoning the public account that had been painstakingly developed,

Which has been the main project continuously incubated and nurtured by the company for more than two years, having previously proved its value more than once!

Zhang Yang smiled and shook his head, turning to look at the speechless Lin Nianwei: "Xiao Wei, how about you? What's your opinion?

Lin Nianwei was the most directly affected by this strategic adjustment, as managing the public account was her job, and suddenly changing the development direction cut down most of her voice in the company.

Yet the young girl did not display excessive agitation with the company decisions, and upon Zhang Yang's inquiry, she raised her head and said: "I feel that this new form of outdoor live streaming has tremendous potential!

Advertisements in traditional media, or those in private domain self-media, are flat and single-dimensional, but this form of outdoor live streaming is multi-dimensional!

The host and the audience can interact in real time, making it easier to cultivate affinity and stickiness.

If one had to describe the difference, it's like listening to a CD at home versus attending a star's concert in person!

Based on this judgment, I accept the company's business adjustment and support President Zhang's choice!"

Seeing Lin Nianwei expressing support, Zhang Yang grinned widely: "Xiao Wei has guts, so let's do it this way!

My requirement is simple: within one week, all preparations must be completed, and the live streaming must be launched immediately!
