Chapter 487: Building a Platform for Testing New Products

“I can finally rest early tonight.”

After returning home, Chen Jun sat on a bench in the yard to enjoy the cool air. He had been working overtime on the project and had not gotten much sleep, but the results were good.

“Aunt Tang, please sit down.”

Yang Yangyang brought over two benches, handed one to Tang Ying, and pushed one to Chen Yuan.

Chen Li poured out a few cups of herbal tea.

The foundation engineering work has been completed. It’s a rare opportunity that we have nothing to do so early in the morning, so the family is sitting in the yard enjoying the cool air and chatting. It’s been a long time since we’ve gotten together like this.

“The sea-building project has come to an end, and everyone needs to take a good rest.” Chen Yuan took the herbal tea handed to him by Chen Li and took two sips, then took out a cigarette and handed one to his father and brother-in-law.

“We really need to have a good rest. The villagers have been working very hard during this period. I’m afraid it will take a long time for them to recover.” Chen Jun took the cigarette and nodded.

He goes to the construction site every day and knows how hard the villagers have been working during this period. They get up early and work late, and even eat their meals in a hurry. They all wish they could sleep on the construction site.

“After the sea reclamation project is completed, let the villagers put other projects in the village on hold and leave them to Wang Tao and others.” Chen Yuan said, lighting a cigarette.

In fact, there are not many projects left, nothing more than new rural construction and homestay construction.

However, the construction of homestays has basically come to a standstill, because all the vacant residential land at the village committee has been built, and more than a hundred homestays are available to cope with the summer peak.

The rest are still inhabited, waiting for the new countryside to be completed and settled in before subsequent homestay construction can begin.

Therefore, the most important subsequent project is still the construction of new countryside. External rigid conditions can only postpone the homestay project, and the sea fishing ground planned in the back village can only be postponed further.

“We know the arrangements for this matter. The new rural construction has been interrupted for so long, so we need to speed up the follow-up progress. Everyone hopes to move in by the end of the year and spend the New Year in their new home.” Chen Jun said while knocking out the ash from his cigarette.

Chen Yuan nodded.

He could understand the villagers’ thoughts, and according to the project estimate, there would be no problem in completing the project before the end of the year. Even if you really wanted to work as hard as the sea-building project, Wang Tao could complete the project in another month and a half at most.

But it is not necessary.

After all, new rural construction is a county project, not a sea-building project where he has complete say. He can just speed up the normal construction schedule.

There’s no need to be too ostentatious.

“Dingling bell~”

The family was enjoying the cool breeze and chatting when the phone in Chen Yuan’s pocket suddenly rang.

I don’t know who is calling so late at night.

“Brother Zuo~”

He took out his cell phone and saw that it was Zuo Xian’er calling, so he immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

“I knew that you weren’t asleep yet.” Zuo Xian’s laughing voice came.

It was already half past ten in the evening. Normally, one would rarely call others at this time. But regardless of how busy Chen Yuan was, he must not have gone to bed yet at this time.

Given the relationship between Zuo Xian’an and Chen Yuan, they could fight at anything, let alone half past ten, even at twelve o’clock.

“I don’t have a lot of money, so I can’t sleep at all. My mind is full of thoughts about how to make money.” Chen Yuan joked.

Zuo Xianwei laughed when he heard this, and then asked, “I just saw in the group that the Yucheng Village sea-building project is about to be completed?”

“The foundation work has just been completed, and we still have to build the underwater world and bring in seawater. It will probably take another three or four days before we can officially open for business.” Chen Yuan said while smoking.

“That’s easy.”

Zuo Xian agreed, and then got to the point, “Since the sea-making project is about to be put into operation, I will bring my family over tomorrow night to play for two days. It’s a good opportunity to try out the new product. What do you think, brother?”

“No problem at all. If you don’t contact me, I’m going to call you. I’m also wondering if you want the research and development funds back.” Chen Yuan said jokingly with a smile.

Zuo Xianwei certainly understood that Chen Yuan was joking, so how could he take it seriously?

After a brief chat, they ended the call, rested in the yard for a while, and then went to wash up. Chen Yuan also went upstairs to take a shower and sleep.

The next afternoon.

The first person to come was not Zuo Xian’an, but Deng Gang.

It was agreed before that when Zuo Xian’an was testing the new product, Deng Gang and the others would come over to see the fishing results.

Especially when the Global Fishing Tackle Brand Super League is about to start, these domestic fishing tackle brands want to seize the time to develop new products or improve the fishing effects of their products.

If Chen’s fishing gear research and development is really that powerful, we might as well try cooperation. At the very least, we can take a look at the effects of competitors’ new products in advance.

Know yourself and know the enemy.

“Coach Deng.”

Chen Yuan met Deng Gang outside the yard, took out a cigarette and walked forward enthusiastically. When the car stopped, he handed the cigarette out of the window. His movements were skillful and done in one go.

“Boss Chen.”

Deng Gang immediately lowered the car window, and Chen Yuan then saw that there were people in the back seat. “Oh, is this my sister-in-law and my son?”

God damn young master.

It’s not ancient times.

Deng Gang introduced his family, then took the cigarette, opened the car door, got out, lit the cigarette, and asked with a smile, “Have Lao Zuo and the others arrived?”

“You are the first one.” Chen Yuan took out a cigarette and lit it.

“I have come here from other places, but none of the locals have arrived yet. We must let him have a drink first in the evening.” Deng Gang said with a chuckle.

“One cup is not enough. After finishing one cup, there is another one.” Chen Yuan joked.

“After one more drink, there are still three left.” Deng Gang replied casually.

After chatting for a while and finishing their cigarette, Chen Yuan first arranged for Deng Gang to check into the B&B. In fact, there was no need for Chen Yuan to make arrangements, as Deng Gang and his friends had already made a reservation, so they could just go to the B&B to check in.

Not long after, Hua Xin, Yi Zhe, Zhu Qing, Jia Dong and others also arrived one after another, all with their families, and it seemed that they were planning to play in Yucheng Village for two days.

This time is still very suitable.

It happened to be the summer vacation, when the children were on vacation and there were no fishing competitions. Yucheng Village had many entertainment activities, so it was a good opportunity to bring the family on vacation.

It was almost six o’clock when Zuo Xian’an and his family finally arrived.

In addition, Xiaoyu Wang also came with his wife and children, and Wang Heng also came along.

“I also brought new products this time, so I asked Xiao Yuwang and Wang Heng to help me try out the product effects.” Zuo Xian explained why he called Xiao Yuwang and Wang Heng.

Although Golden Dragon Fish and Chen’s Fishing Gear have reached a strategic cooperation, the prerequisite is that Chen’s Fishing Gear needs to develop or improve products with stronger effects.

Moreover, even if Chen’s fishing gear R&D team helps develop new products, it is impossible for Zuo Xian’er to disband the R&D team and completely hand over the lifeline to others.

This can be seen from the fact that Zuo Xianwei took out a new type of bait during the finals of the provincial capital scoring competition.

“Three people in the same place?” Chen Yuan asked with a smile.

“Ah.”

Zuo Xian nodded and said, “Brother Wang Heng will take care of the new products I develop. I will focus on the new products I develop, and Brother Xiaoyu Wang will help me try out the old products.”

Three products, three people competing in fishing at the same time, the effect is clear at a glance.

Although the three people have different fishing skills, the gap is not that big. Zuo Xianyu is a competitive fishing master, and the gap between the little fish king and the two people is not too obvious. At least in the case of three people competing in fishing.

“Brother, do you mind doing a live broadcast during the experiment?” Chen Yuan had no objection to Zuo Xian’er’s arrangement, and took the opportunity to bring up the idea of ​​doing a live broadcast.

“Start a live broadcast?” Zuo Xian didn’t quite understand Chen Yuan’s operation.

“Two factors.”

Chen Yuan explained: “First, it can promote the golden arowana bait, and secondly, it can promote Chen Yuan Fishing Ground, which is committed to building a new product testing site and bringing Chen Yuan Fishing Ground into the fishing gear industry.”

“Simply put, I want to turn Chenyuan Fishing Ground into a testing ground for the fishing gear industry. Only new products that have been tested at Chenyuan Fishing Ground can be put on the market.”

“If the experimental results at Chenyuan Fishing Ground are not good, it means that the new product is not effective and needs to be re-developed.”

The words fell.

Not only Zuo Xianluo, but even Deng Gang and the others had slightly changed expressions. They were all businessmen and could instantly capture the commercial value from Chen Yuan’s words.

Although they have not come to Chen Yuan Fishing Ground many times, and all of them are for fishing competitions, it can be seen that Chen Yuan Fishing Ground has some extraordinary status in the industry and is highly sought after by anglers.

Even they occasionally hear descriptions such as fishing holy land, industry benchmark, and the ceiling of fishing grounds. It can be said that the current Chen Yuan Fishing Ground is the most famous fishing ground in the country.

If we can successfully build a testing ground for the fishing gear industry and leave this label in the minds of anglers, I can’t imagine what influence Chen Yuan Fishing Ground will have.

I am afraid that there is no other fishing ground in the country that can challenge its status and influence.

Even the fishing gear industry will flock to it. Once the fishing results at Chen Yuan Fishing Ground are excellent, their products will bring in excellent sales.

“The Datang at Chen Yuan Fishing Ground is a standard venue for competitions. Whether it is the fish density or the distance to the fishing spots, it is very suitable for fishing and also for verifying product effects.” Chen Yuan continued with a smile.

Zuo Xian’an and Deng Gang looked at each other and didn’t respond for a while.

Finally, it was Zuo Xianyi who spoke first, “To be honest, although this is not an official test, if it really needs to be labeled as an experimental product, everyone wants to have this power in their hands.”

Although Deng Gang and the others didn’t say anything, they understood his thoughts from their nodding reactions.

“It’s six o’clock. Let’s eat first and talk while we eat.” Chen Yuan looked at the time and asked everyone to eat first without rushing to explain anything.

At the dinner table, after toasting each other, Chen Yuan returned to the topic of testing the product.

“Chen Yuan Fishing Ground is just a platform, and it is not an official platform. It is more inclined to word of mouth, so products from any brand can be tested at Chen Yuan Fishing Ground, and Chen Yuan Fishing Ground will not interfere in the whole process.” Chen Yuan said.

“Is it just to provide a platform for the fishing gear industry to test new products?” Zuo Xian asked.

Deng Gang and the others all looked at Chen Yuan.

“Anyway, Chenyuan Fishing Ground is just a fishing ground, not a testing institution. As I said just now, the test is more likely to be based on word of mouth.”

Chen Yuan explained: “This reputation segmentation is beneficial to both Chen Yuan Fishing Ground and various fishing gear brands. I believe that everyone will also conduct fishing tests after developing new products, right?”

Zuo Xianyu and the others nodded one after another.

This is indeed true. Any product that is developed and produced must be tested, especially bait. If you don’t try its effect in attracting fish, who knows what the product is really like.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. You’ll know the effect when you fish.

“In that case, why not choose Chen Yuan Fishing Ground and use this platform to showcase the effects of new products to the majority of fishing enthusiasts.” Chen Yuan said with a smile.

“What does Boss Chen mean?”

The second half of the sentence allowed Zuo Xian and the others to grasp some information.

“That brings us to live streaming.”

Chen Yuan explained: “Chen Yuan Fishing Ground provides this platform and does not interfere with other things. It is only responsible for live broadcasting the fishing test process and providing a platform for the majority of anglers to recognize and choose.”

“The core of live streaming is word of mouth. Once anglers trust this platform and method, both the account and Chen Yuan Fishing Ground will be recognized.”

“For fishing gear brands, having such a platform will instantly gain recognition from many anglers once the fishing test results are very good. The effect is no worse than any advertising.”

“Putting it on the market in one step saves the promotion process, or makes it simpler. Even during the trial process, many orders may be sold.”

Live streaming is just one way to go, and the main point is to create a label of a holy land for experiments.

You can also equate live streaming with word of mouth.

In this way, a perception has been formed in the fishing community that Chen Yuan Fishing Ground is the ceiling of fishing grounds and a fishing holy land.

In this way, new experimental fishing gear can be labeled.

Of course, the prerequisite is to gain recognition from anglers. If there is a huge difference between the product tested each time and the actual fishing effect, the sense of gap will definitely affect its reputation.

“Is every live broadcast conducted by Chen Yuan Fishing Farm?” someone asked.

Chen Yuan shook his head and smiled, and responded: “I said that Chen Yuan Fishing Ground only provides a platform and will not interfere in anything else. Brands can also broadcast live on their own.”

Everyone nodded slightly.

The positioning of Chen Yuan Fishing Ground is indeed just a platform, a fair and just platform. The live broadcast of the fishing test results is also to ensure the transparency and fairness of the test.

If such a platform is truly successfully built, it can be a publicity channel that can indeed simplify and even save money in the publicity and promotion process.

Directly from the factory to the user.

Even in the later stage, I am afraid that users will ask, has it been tested in Chen Yuan Fishing Ground?

“How about trying the effect tomorrow?”

Zuo Xian suggested.

Deng Gang and his colleagues also agreed to wait and see the results first. If possible, they are still willing to consider this approach. After all, it is also a form of publicity and promotion.

Moreover, this time I came here with the idea of ​​cooperating with Chen’s Fishing Gear.

“Okay, let’s see the results tomorrow.” Chen Yuan didn’t say anything.

After all, it is just an idea, and it is impossible to make people like Zuo Xian’an and Deng Gang who have been deeply involved in the fishing gear industry for many years make a decision with just a few words.

Wait until after the verification attempt and see the feedback.

“Would you like to play a couple of rounds tonight?”

After having a good meal and drinking, and having talked about almost everything, Xiao Yuwang and his friends suggested going to the chess and card room to play.

“Let’s have fun. This time I came to Yucheng Village for vacation and I have to try all the activities.”

“Since my family has come with us, we must have fun.”

Deng Gang and the others were all very excited.

“Boss Chen, would you like to play with me?”

Also invited Chen Yuan to play together.

Chen Yuan is not very interested in chess and cards, and has had no interest in them since childhood, so he rarely uses the lottery function in the system. However, it would be a bit disappointing if he didn’t play when friends get together.

The group headed towards the chess and card room.

The children go to play other things. There are basically no children there, so there is no need to worry about anything when playing in Yucheng Village.
