99: Chapter 99: Rules 99: Chapter 99: Rules The fans who are often active in Yue Feng’s live-stream room are predominantly fishing enthusiasts, with more than ninety percent of them enjoying fishing.
From their daily behavior and tips, it’s obvious that there are wealthy fans among them.
Although this group is not large, their support for Yue Feng is significant.
They provide various tips and step up when needed to support the show.
Normally, these fans support Yue Feng, so now when Yue Feng organizes events, especially when arranging fishing meetups, he definitely needs to consider these fans.
And this consideration had become the biggest challenge.
If the past gifts and Points ranking were used for selection, although it would suit Yue Feng’s interests, it might inevitably lead to being labeled as opportunistic.
However, opening up the criteria to the tens of thousands of fans would lead to far more than just ten or eighteen interested and able fans, making the selection process without hurting feelings or managing it effectively a real issue.
If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten.
Many familiar fans were asking on the public channel when the stream started, eagerly requesting to join!
But I’ve no experience in choosing among these people.
What do you think we should do?”
After a brief moment of thought and finding no suitable solution, Yue Feng passed the problem to Liu Fengnian.
The issue was indeed tricky.
Scratching his chin and pondering for a moment, Liu Fengnian said, “How about this!
You have a Points ranking for your fans, right?
Invite the top three if they are interested in joining!
If they aren’t coming, then invite the next in line.
For the remaining ten spots, collect names of interested parties in the live stream room, then create a WeChat group and determine the ten spots through a draw in the group!
Keep two additional spots flexible for fifteen people in total.
Oh, and to prevent no-shows, those who enter the WeChat group for the draw must first pay a deposit.
We won’t keep this money; it will be returned to them after the fishing meetup!”
It has to be said, Liu Fengnian thought about the issue much more thoroughly than Yue Feng.
This rule considered the long-term top supporters from the leaderboard and also catered to the sentiments of regular fans.
The only thing that Yue Feng felt uncomfortable with was the part about collecting deposits.
It’s hard to describe exactly where the discomfort was, but it just felt odd.
“You think it’s not appropriate?
Your brow is all furrowed!” noticing Yue Feng’s slight frown, Liu Fengnian asked curiously.
“Everything else is fine; it’s just the deposit part—feels a bit much!” Yue Feng asked.
“If you want to do this right, you must do it this way!
There must be rules to form a circle.
In social dealings, rules are essential, and the deposit is key to enforcing these rules!
Through the internet, no one knows the other’s true character.
We only need to do our part well.
As for others, we can’t worry about them!
On the other hand, this is an event you’re hosting for free, and the deposit will be returned afterwards.
If someone still complains, then it’s better not to serve such people at all!”
After hearing Liu’s explanation, Yue Feng reconsidered and agreed, realizing that he was funding the event to ensure it went smoothly and met expectations.
To guarantee these outcomes, some barriers were good; after all, if someone came to cause trouble, not only would it spoil the event, but also the mood.
It’s better to state all the rules upfront.
Those who can’t accept don’t need to come, rather than agreeing to everything and then being stood up.
Let’s do it your way!
I’ll host a local stream tonight and discuss this plan in the live stream room!” Yue Feng nodded and said.
“Words alone aren’t reliable.
After talking in the live stream room, post a joke to clarify the rules, so no one can fault us later!”
With a general strategy agreed upon, Yue Feng nearly completed the early preparations for this event by late afternoon.
Liu left after receiving a phone call, and the overall planning process was essentially streamlined.
After promising to clarify the process and communicate, Yue Feng took the initiative to make a phone call.
Wawa hadn’t expected the event to produce results so quickly, and immediately learned many details from Yue Feng over the phone.
Especially about the rules, Wawa said they were very necessary restrictions because similar situations had happened in the past, resulting in being stood up and disrupting the event’s progression, leading to a dismal conclusion.
“That’s pretty much the situation, do you see any other issues?” Yue Feng asked.
“Uh, I plan to bring my best friend along with me.
Who’s in charge of our accommodation and airport pickup?”
“Of course, I’ll handle that.
I’ll prepare a double tent and sleeping bags for you!
However, the camping conditions are quite rough, nowhere near as comfortable as a star-rated hotel.
You should be prepared mentally!”
“I’ve camped before; these are minor issues.
One last question, how do you plan to treat me?
You still owe me a big meal!
We agreed last time, and it’s been a long while!”
“Barbecue party, plenty of meat!
I’ll prepare at least one or two sheep!” Yue Feng’s response was straightforward and blunt.
That sounds about right!
Let’s leave it at that then, I’ll inform my best friend.
Once the date is set, send me a message immediately, and we’ll book the flights!”
After finishing the call with Wawa, Yue Feng reclined in his chair and took a long, deep breath.
Organizing events involves various aspects.
It seems simple usually, but when it comes to actual execution, it can be incredibly complex; any oversight might lead to problems.
On Wawa’s end, after hanging up the phone, nearly jumping for joy, she put down her phone and frantically started knocking on Su Cheng’s room door.
“Chengzi, open the door!
Hurry up; I know you’re inside!”
After knocking for quite a while, Su Cheng opened the door, her eyes ringed heavily with dark circles.
Determined to go out with Wawa, Su Cheng had been working feverishly, fussing over a project until five in the morning the previous night.
She hadn’t slept in the morning, having liaised with the company, and after the demanding client asked for two more revisions, she didn’t finish and manage to sleep until noon.
“Wawa, are you trying to kill me?
Didn’t you know I’ve only just gone to sleep at noon?
You’re killing your own mother!” Su Cheng said irritably.
“Uh, I forgot you didn’t sleep last night!
Yue Feng just called; the event is planned, just waiting to finalize the date.
Once it’s set, I’ll book the flights!”
“Just that?” Su Cheng slowed down as she spoke, her frustration nearing eruption.
Isn’t that important?”
With a bang, Su Cheng’s room door shut again, leaving a stunned and befuddled Wawa.
Miser!” Wawa pouted, turned, and went back to the living room.
Seeing Yue Feng’s call record on her phone, her expression warmed again.
