Unknowingly, it was ten o'clock in the morning, and the whole pond had completely stopped having any fish bite, so many impatient anglers had already packed up.
Zhang Yang had another triumphant battle, with about thirty-five fish, over 80 pounds of catch, ensuring a smooth victory.
Meanwhile, on the north shore, Wang Jun and old Lang's three-hour fishing contest also reached the agreed time.
Wang Jun glanced at old Lang: "President Lang, time's up, shall we weigh the catch?"
Old Lang had stopped having any fish bite for at least two hours. Several times he wanted to find an excuse to leave, but Wang Jun kept a close eye on him, making it impossible. This fishing felt like an eternity.
Now that the fishing time was up and the winner was decided, it was like reaching the stage of the final "death sentence," and today old Lang couldn't escape the fact that he lost the contest.
"No need to weigh, I concede! The fish are yours!" Lang Junfeng gritted his teeth, straightforwardly conceding.
Hearing old Lang concede, Wang Jun was taken aback.
Knowing old Lang, such a straightforward concession was not like his style, as he expected some excuses or complaints.
"It would've been better if you conceded earlier. If you conceded earlier, you could've left sooner! Why hold on till now, isn't it tiring?"
Wang Jun took out a cigarette and handed one to him, his tone slightly more relaxed.
After all, the fishing contest was just an adult's game, Wang Jun didn't care for the hundred and eighty bucks of the fish return money. Lang Junfeng conceded, and that was it, what Wang Jun wanted was an attitude.
"Little Wang, I need to ask you a favor!" After hesitating for a long time, Lang Junfeng finally spoke up about his thoughts.
Wang Jun was surprised, raising his head to give old Lang a perplexed look: "Ask me for a favor? What is it?"
"I originally thought that after taking the agency of Brocade Dragon Fish Bait, I could ease a bit, but now I see I was oversimplifying. Zhang Yang's tactics are too wild, I can't compete!
You are close to Zhang Yang, can you relay a message for me? I want to represent the new bait he has!" Lang Junfeng said, slightly furrowing his brow.
"Looking to get the agency from Zhang Yang? You're overthinking it! Why don't you talk to him yourself? He hasn't left yet!"
Hearing this request, Wang Jun couldn't help but raise his voice, as he thought that even bringing it up would be pointless.
The new bait was Zhang Yang's weapon for snatching premium clients, and old Lang's relationship with Zhang Yang could only be described as not good, even "rivals" wouldn't be an exaggeration. If he really gave it to him, wouldn't that be equipping the enemy?
Old Lang thoughtfully said: "While you were catching fish just now, I thought about many things! When it comes to fishing, he indeed is more skilled than me, losing wasn't unfair!
My relationship with him is a bit tense, can you mention it on my behalf? I'll treat you to a meal later!"
"Alright, I'll definitely relay your message! But I can't guarantee anything!"
"Thanks in advance! The fish are yours, I'm leaving!"
Old Lang pulled his fish bag from the water and poured it into Wang Jun's bag, then packed his gear and left early.
Watching the departure of old Lang's car, Wang Jun pursed his lips. This guy's going to capitulate to Zhang Yang? Doesn't seem like his style!
Wang Jun couldn't figure out what was going on in the other's mind, but since he agreed to help relay the message, he got up from his fishing spot and casually walked over to Zhang Yang's side.
"Got any bites left? Our social President Yang?" Wang Jun asked with a grin.
"No bites, getting ready to pack up! How did you fare over there? I glanced occasionally, did you deal with old Lang enough today?"
Wang Jun grinned: "Old Lang got the agency for Brocade Dragon Carp and showed off to me before fishing, wanted to compete with me. He bumped into a tough one, and in less than forty minutes, I had him down!
Counting his fish, I've got a solid win today!
Oh yeah, before he left, he asked me to relay a message; he wants the agency for Little Yellow Bait!
The message is relayed, and you make the decision. We're buddies, but his business isn't my concern. I'm just the messenger!"
"Wants the agency?" Zhang Yang, who was grinning a second ago, was slightly taken aback by this.
"Yeah! He's run into us several times and suffered losses, can't withstand it anymore, and has conceded!"
Zhang Yang's mouth curved upwards, as he cryptically said: "This guy does have some insight!
Let's go, pack up and head back! Have to consider this matter!"
Zhang Yang said his goodbyes, quickly sold his catch, then loaded his equipment into the car and drove the photographer back.
On the drive, Wang Yan, who hadn't spoken much, interjected: "Lang Junfeng plans to represent our bait?"
"Yes, that's right! You heard what Brother Jun said just now!"
"Is this something you still need to consider? You have such a high client overlap; it should be a competitive relationship!"
Don't be fooled by Wang Yan's carefree demeanor; when it comes to serious matters, he's quite clear-minded. While he didn't express an opinion, he'd already reminded Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang nodded: "What the relationship is doesn't matter, what's important is the balance of pros and cons! I'll make a few calls before deciding!"
At this stage, Zhang Yang wasn't solely concerned with developing a few good clients anymore, but in elevating the Little Yellow Bait's reputation quickly. Recruiting agents was currently a method to swiftly seize the market! Old Lang's suggestion directly reminded Zhang Yang of his current work focus.
Once back at the shop, Zhang Yang didn't even take a sip of tea, took out his phone, and called Xinda Wholesale on the market side.
"Hello Little Zhang, what are your instructions?"
