My fishing raft will ask for help.

Chapter 209 Yu Muzhou Decides to Pursue an Official Career

"Brother Zhou, what are the overall gains from organizing this fishing competition?"

With more than half an hour to go before 4 p.m., and nothing much to do after the boat stopped, Zhou Miao decided to ask Yu Muzhou about his gains from organizing the competition.

"A harvest?"

Yu Muzhou was taken aback, then picked up the tablet and showed him the internal software.

"The club's regular members have increased by more than 100, gold members by 23, and diamond members by 6."

"Secondly, most of the parking spaces that were originally empty have now been rented out."

"Based on the current earnings, you can expect to receive at least two million in dividends by the end of the year."

"How do you feel about what you've learned so far?"

"Impressive!" Zhou Miao couldn't help but exclaim when he saw that the rented-out parking spaces alone had generated an annual rent of over fifteen million.

As long as there are people, the club's dock is a real money-making machine.

This rent is after the internal members get a discount. The club couldn't keep going before because the owner had no connections.

Yu Muzhou has a strong network of connections. He probably used the fishing competition as an opportunity to attend many private parties and gatherings, bringing along a lot of acquaintances.

As his social circle gradually expands, the rental income from just this one berth is enough to easily operate the entire club.

"That brings us to that, A-Miao. At the end of the year, the club will invest in acquiring some luxury yachts to facilitate the reception of VIPs and business discussions on the sea."

"I'm planning to set up an entertainment company specializing in training girl groups. Would you be interested in investing?"

"A song and dance troupe?"

"Ahem, let's see through it but not say anything!"

"Brother, now that you say that, I've instantly lost interest in girl groups."

Zhou Miao thought of the vibrant young women on stage during the fishing competition and wondered if the girl group Yu Muzhou was preparing would be the same.

"Haha, brother, I'm just helping you demystify. You should just keep your two girlfriends safe and sound, and don't touch any wildflowers outside." Yu Muzhou laughed and patted Zhou Miao on the shoulder.

"I don't really have any particular interest in the outside world, I just enjoy watching pretty girls dance."

Zhou Miao looked very serious, but after he finished speaking, he noticed the disbelieving looks in Yu Muzhou's and Wang Yong's eyes, and even he, with his thick skin, couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

I had no choice but to tactfully change the subject: "Won't this entertainment company lose money? According to your plan, it seems like there's no way to make a profit."

"The company's goal isn't to make money, but it will train some professional girl groups for gigs and live streams. The main focus is on building a following; not necessarily a lot, just enough to cover expenses."

"When the time is right, I will also open a high-end karaoke bar. The trained dance troupe will mainly be used here, as well as for entertainment performances at sea."

Zhou Miao was surprised that Yu Muzhou would tell him about his future development plans, which immediately reminded him of the grand banquet at sea in the South China Sea.

Before he had two girlfriends, he would have been very excited to hear this.

What man doesn't like being surrounded by beautiful women, unless he's impotent?

But now, he saw through these superficial things and realized Yu Muzhou's purpose.

Is this an attempt to tie me down, or simply to have fun with me?

But the adult world is probably not that simple, so Zhou Miao was very curious about Yu Muzhou's thoughts.

He glanced at Wang Yong beside him, but didn't ask. After thinking about it and realizing that it wouldn't be a disadvantage for him, he readily agreed.

"Haha, if Brother Zhou wants to take me out to play, I'd be crazy not to agree."

Yu Muzhou pointed at him and continued with a smile, "Then I won't give you the club's year-end dividends; I'll just help you invest directly."

"However, the purpose of an entertainment company is not to make money, so this time I will give you shares at the normal market price."

Zhou Miao shook his head upon hearing this: "It's only right, after all, Brother Zhou, you've already taken good care of me."

Seeing that he was so sensible, Yu Muzhou's expression became even more satisfied.

The reason he brought Zhou Miao along was that he found everything went very smoothly after he took over the club.

Although he spent most of his time fishing, he had actually already established connections with the city government before he even went fishing in Shandong.

The people around him and the connections behind him all wanted him to enter politics.

In the past, Yu Muzhou was content with his lot and only wanted to live a life of leisure and wait for death.

But as his son grew up, his thoughts gradually changed, especially after meeting Zhou Miao, a very lucky person.

Recently, an elder relative introduced him to a potential blind date.

If it works, they will work to make him the village head of a wealthy village in Nanzhen.

After a year or two, as long as he doesn't make any mistakes, he will be transferred to work in the township government, which means he will be formally employed.

After much deliberation, Yu Muzhou felt that he was just over forty, the perfect age to make a name for himself.

His past experiences also taught him that being a small town mayor is worse than being extremely wealthy.

That's why he made this decision. As for the club's shares and other businesses, he will gradually make arrangements for them in the future.

Zhou Miao won't be the one to face these things, and if anything happens in the future, he won't be in any trouble.

Zhou Miao won't be the one to face these things, and if anything happens in the future, he won't be in any trouble.

After all, he's just a small shareholder who receives dividends and doesn't participate in anything else.

At that time, Zhou Miao will take good care of his son and ensure that his son will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. This is also the last way out that Yu Muzhou left for his son.

"It's almost four o'clock, shall we go back?"

"The players should all have gone back, so let's go too!"

Back at the club's dock, a dozen or so fishing boats were crammed together on the dock steps, making it look very crowded.

These are the top fifteen contestants who should be able to win awards. They all came back right on time and did their best to improve their ranking.

Zhou Miao waited leisurely behind them. With only a few hundred kilograms of harvest on their boat, it didn't matter if they were an hour late.

If they are surpassed in this aspect, then they will have nothing to say.

After all the fishing boats ahead had finished unloading their cargo, Zhou Miao steered his boat to shore.

As he turned around and backed to shore, all the athletes and staff watching them gasped in surprise, followed by gasps of astonishment.

"Wow, what a huge grouper, and two at once?"

"Where? Where?"

"Damn, what's the point of comparing these two? These two alone weigh more than the second-place player's catch over five days combined!"

"There's no suspense anymore, no suspense at all."

"Is this cheating?"

However, this guess did not resonate with the other players, because none of them were stupid.

Not to mention that the top five contestants are constantly being monitored by drones, even the other contestants can only stay in a certain area of ​​the sea to facilitate monitoring by regulatory personnel.

Forget about secretly getting a batch of fish, you can't even bring fish bait on the boat. They check every day before setting off, it's extremely strict.

And even if there really is something going on, what can they do?

Upon seeing the large fish, the staff immediately brought over a crane and lifted the two large fish off the boat.

Everyone thought that was all the fish, but Yu Muzhou stepped forward and stopped the two staff members who were about to leave.

"Wait, I have eight more giant groupers that are meters long."

Two enormous seven-banded groupers, each 1.5 meters long, and eight medium-sized green and tiger groupers.

If it weren't for the large screen showing Zhou Miao and Yu Muzhou fishing, the contestants present probably would have accused them of cheating.

The first place was no surprise. That evening, Zhou Miao and his friends went on stage to receive their awards and enjoyed performances by a girl group and some third-tier singers before the fishing competition officially ended.
