Fishing Livestream

An hour later, Han Luofeng put down his fishing rod and stood up from the new fishing box.

"What's up? Had your fill of fishing fun?" Yue Feng asked with a smile from the side.

Han Luofeng rubbed his face in a very conflicted manner, "Damn it, what kind of carbon cloth are the rods you guys are using internally made of? They seem way better than what I'm using!

When comparing the weight and overall performance of the materials, it feels like they're at least one grade level higher. Has there been a new breakthrough in Japan's carbon cloth materials recently?"

The term "comparing material weight and overall performance" is relatively professional, and many folks might not understand it.

To give the simplest example, a Black Pit rod that's 8h and 4.5m long, made using 36t+40t carbon cloth, would weigh about 120g or so.

To make the rod lighter would directly affect hardness and waist strength in various aspects.

However, the rods Yue Feng and his team use internally may only weigh 100g yet still achieve a hardness of 8h. This is a huge shock for an industry insider like Han Luofeng, who's very picky about fishing gear. In short, he knows his stuff!

Yue Feng shook his head and smiled, saying, "If I give it to you, just take it! Why bother figuring out how a delicious rooster is raised?"

"No way, don't kid me. We've tried using very expensive low-grade carbon cloth ourselves, and the material only gets a few grams lighter per rod at best! Like the 3.6-meter competition rod I just used, it's barely 40g and should match the hardness of a 4.5. You can't get these numbers from the factories!"

Yue Feng was a bit confused by the question, not knowing how to explain. For laymen, mentioning some jargon, grades, etc., could suffice, but Han Luofeng is an equipment enthusiast, very sensitive to parameters. One lie would require more to cover up, and a slip-up would reveal the truth, so it was better to deflect.

"Hehe, can't say, even if I did, it would be a lie! This stuff involves trade secrets!" Yue Feng shook his head again, showing an innocent, fox-like smile.

"Damn it! Using your equipment makes me feel like a bumpkin. I'll definitely mention this to the old man later. No wonder your company is developing so rapidly; you guys do have good stuff!

The rod in my hand is three streets ahead of the latest from Minglun, and as for those rapid competition rods, they're no competition!"

"No need for you to say it; the old man actually knows a lot! Our fishing tackle industry alliance is also pushing corresponding technology and channels!

It's all supplied from my hands. You just didn't notice when you're fishing!"

"No way! Are you pulling my leg here! Want me to call the old man right now?"

"Go ahead and call if you don't believe me! I've indeed given the old man several sets of newly developed fishing rod structure blueprints! They're applied on the latest Dragon Pattern Carp rods!

As for what you're using now, it's not available on the market! The costs are too high; just the material cost for this 3.6 rod is already two or three thousand, not accounting for wastage and labor!"

"Holy shit! What kind of carbon cloth costs two or three thousand for a single rod?" Even though Han Luofeng was prepared mentally, he was still a bit shocked by Yue Feng's statement.

It's not that he can't afford it; Han's family owns a large chain of supermarkets and is quite wealthy. Tens of thousands are nothing for him.

But Han Luofeng knows the cost of ordinary fishing rods inside and out. Even those high-end competition materials won't cost over five hundred per rod, which is three to four times less than what Yue Feng mentioned.

Yue Feng shrugged, "A couple of years ago, there was this gimmick called graphene fishing rods. You've heard of it, right?"

"Yeah, just a gimmick! Why? Is your rod made with graphene?" Han Luofeng nodded, disdaining such unscrupulous marketing tactics.

Yue Feng nodded, "The specific material process is complex, and I can't describe it well, but the carbon cloth indeed uses a graphene structure. The carbon fiber's density increases, and the resin includes graphene components. A series of processes makes it relatively lighter and harder!

But the production process for this stuff is extremely demanding, and the defect rate is very high. Not even in our company's product line. It's used as future technology reserves within a limited internal scope to collect practical data!"

"Well, if that's the case, these six rods of mine are quite valuable!" Han Luofeng looked at the weapon in his hand and said faintly.

"Did you think we gave you the gear because you're good-looking? To be honest, it compensates for the loss of face you incurred by bringing Xiao Min and Xiao Zheng along to challenge the venues! As the mighty captain of the Hua Clan, if your tournament performance is worse than Xiao Min's, it would bring disgrace to the old man!"

Upon hearing this, most of the goodwill Han Luofeng had for Yue Feng vanished immediately.

This guy is such a sharp-tongued jerk.

"Damn it! You have quite the sharp tongue!"

Yue Feng smiled and joked, "I've got plenty of good stuff. If it doesn't work out, how about you join my club and I'll make you the captain! All the top-tier equipment, magic bait, and bait materials you want, free of charge!"

"Damn it! I... I won't do it!" After hearing that, Han Luofeng actually felt a slight temptation, but it was quickly suppressed by rationality.

"Haha, just kidding. Pack up; it's time for lunch! I've arranged for someone to book the hotel, and we'll entertain you well for lunch!"

"Alright!"

...

After being hit by Yue Feng's words, Han Luofeng no longer dared to take such a lofty attitude towards the folks at Yuefeng Club. He was very low-key at lunch, even just sipping on a few symbolic bottles of beer.

After eating and drinking to their fill, Yue Feng called Wang Xiaomin and Zhao Zheng into the office alone, giving simple instructions on the tournament challenge.

In fact, it's quite simple. What they're calling a tournament challenge is more accurately described as a visit for friendly competition.

Despite Yue Feng's seemingly casual demeanor as if he does nothing all day, he had long contacted the old man for a list of the club league, compiling a list of well-known domestic teams big and small.

All these teams with a club base of their own were targets for these friendly visits, adding up to at least almost twenty on the list.

Visiting one or two a day takes nearly a month. Allowing for some leniency in scheduling, by the time they wrap up, the club alliance cup finals might be starting.

Yue Feng pushed the prepared bank card and car keys forward, asking, "In the card are the expenses for food, lodging, and refueling for your tournament challenge! The keys are for my Lexus; the tank is full!

The goal of teaming up with Han Luofeng to challenge the venues is just one thing, honing your mindset. Winning or losing isn't important. Hone your mentality well! Any issues?"
