Chapter 122 Style
"...Brother Tian, I know everything about the situation, but I still feel it's inappropriate."
June 12th, Monday morning.
Chinese Go Association, Chairman's Office.
Lu Wenjie stood in front of Shang Chaotian's table and stated his thoughts truthfully.
"Although I respect Mr. Wu very much and understand Mr. Wu's eagerness to further promote the development of domestic women's Go career...
"But the second wild card of the 'Wu Yue Cup', I still think it is not suitable to be good at it. move. "
Shang Chaotian, who was also standing, was silent for a few seconds and said without emotion:
"Tell me the reason! ”
Lu Wenjie replied in a deep voice:
"Brother Tian, one of the pain points of the sport of Go is that there are few countries that have a deep understanding of it. The only ones who really play it are us, South Korea, and Japan.
"The world champion of Go is ugly to say. It's nothing more than the champion of the Three Kingdoms Tournament.
“It is even said that in recent years, due to the poor performance of Japan in international competitions, it has clearly shown the taste of enclosing its own cuteness and putting it on the spot. In the international competition, to a large extent, we and South Korea are the only ones. Fight.
"Originally, the reason why the 'Wuyue Cup' gives one place each to North America and Europe, where few people play Go, is mainly for promotion.
“But if we, as the host country, take the initiative to break the previous practice of issuing wild cards, it will easily be regarded as individualism by South Korea and Japan, which will intensify the protection of the competition in various countries...
"If by then we and South Korea become closed to the country like Japan, the sport of Go will no longer be promoted to other countries."
Shang Chaotian was silent for a while, and said Express your own point of view:
“Actually, I think this is mainly due to the influence of the country’s political and economic status...
“Like national elephants with high international recognition, although they are also very subtle. It's a chess game, but compared to Go...well, I personally think it's a little less interesting.
“The current popularity of national elephants in the world is largely due to the fact that European and American countries have the right to speak internationally. In the future, East Asia...well, it seems that the other two cannot be counted on.
"Hmm! When our country becomes stronger, I think Go will definitely be widely recognized by countries around the world..."
"But the country's further strength will not be achieved overnight, it will take time!"
Lu Wenjie interrupted:
“Before that, we must first ensure that Go is still respected and vital in our country.
“And Like many intangible cultural heritage, it was said that it was protected, but in fact it was just made into a lifelike specimen and placed in a crystal coffin!
"Brother Tian, in this era of rapid change, even the most internationally accepted national elephants have fewer and fewer people, and we... must be careful at all times!"
After thinking for a while, Shang Chaotian nodded: "...Well, you are right! I will explain this to Mr. Wu later!"
"To be honest, Mr. Wu has been He never asked us for anything, but it was rare for him to raise an issue for the development of women's Go, and we were beaten back... I have to think about the wording. ”
“Actually, you can wait. ”
Lu Wenjie suggested:
"If after the trials between South Korea and Japan, it is found that there is obviously a legacy that must be fished out, it would be best to use this as a reason. I believe Mr. Wu can understand.
"...Brother Tian,' The Wuyue Cup matter will still take some time, so you can put it aside first.
"Have you read the arrangements for the chess holy war that I reported to you earlier? The first game will be played this Sunday!"
Shang Chaotian pursed his lips: "Look Okay, that's it... Is it really necessary to go through so much trouble?
"It took almost twenty days to go to five different places, and we had to rent so many venues... Isn't it too wasteful? ? ”
"Brother Tian, I have to criticize you for this."
Lu Wenjie rarely disagreed with his chairman:
"You have to know that if you want others to take you seriously, then You must take yourself seriously first!
"The gang of ghosts on the east island now... uh, ahem! The Japanese are full of clever ideas and thieves. Even though each of their chess games is worse than the last, and we laugh at them every day to enclose the territory for themselves, there is one thing they do very well - no matter how bad their chess players are, they are still very good at playing chess. A title fight is a serious matter!
“You have to pay attention to the chess pieces, the chess board, and the venue you choose. Of course, we can ridicule poor students who have too much stationery, but chess players are respected in China and receive generous bonuses. !
"The prize money of Japan's three major domestic chess tournaments can only be matched by the 'Yingyi Cup' in the World Championship, which is only held once every four years! But it is held every year!
"Looking at us, originally Even in such an important game as the Tianyuan Battle, there are situations where you can just find a position in the chess academy and win. This is absolutely not allowed to happen again!
"It just so happens that this time in the chess holy war, Xiaolei plays Lin Ruixin, who is undoubtedly the top two master in the country. And the media in the circle have already warmed up, this may be another "change of dynasty" War'.
"In addition, Lin Daqi is already an internet celebrity, and it can be said that the popularity inside and outside the circle is unprecedented. Of course we should take this as an opportunity to raise the profile! ”
Shang Chaotian thought for a while and felt that what his deputy said was reasonable, but there was one thing he was still a little worried about:
"But the funding..."
"Don't worry about the funding!"
Lu Wenjie immediately patted his chest:
"Like Dajing, Xidu, Dongjiang, Qiantang I have contacted all the venues, which are all those that have recently opened and need to be exposed.
“I heard that many central media will broadcast live this time, and these hotels, clubs, and man-made attractions are very willing to use the best price. The price is for us to hold the competition.
"As for the last game, I have also made an agreement with the 'Hundred Ge Cup' organizing committee!
"It just so happens that they are also going to hold a fixed stage race at the Tong Ge Lou in Gezhou in those days, and they are also willing to do so. Incidentally, it provides a venue for the chess holy war: after all, their man-made scenic spot still needs a lot of fame!
“They only have one request: I hope that after Lin Ruixin and Xiaolei play the Holy War, they can pick two new first-level players who have just been determined to play chess and guide them in the next game, and help them add some gimmicks to the determined competition. .
"I told both of them that there is probably nothing wrong with an entertaining game of guided chess. ”
Now Shang Chaotian was completely speechless and couldn’t help but smile:
"Hey, hey, why don't you do this in such detail! I feel like I, as the chairman, should abdicate earlier and give way to someone new!"
Lu Wenjie also followed the joke:
"Okay!
"But remember to approve the arrangement I handed over before you withdraw. Otherwise, I will approve the documents I draft... This is illegal! "
"Haha! You..."
…
…
“I give up!”
“Ah! Thank you for your advice, Sister Wang!” At four o’clock in the afternoon on June 13th, Zhejiang-Hangzhou Chess Academy.
After the group qualifiers of the "Wuyue Cup" ended last week, one weekend later, this week's round-robin trials continued to be held at the Zhejiang Chess Academy in Qiantang City.
This afternoon is the fourth round of round robin selection. Liu Yuhong’s opponent is Wang Haocheng, a 32-year-old veteran and six-dan chess player who is also on the second stage of the Suhu women’s team.
On the 188th move of the game, Wang Haocheng surrendered.
Because they are all teammates and it is not a critical game, both sides felt relaxed after the game and collected the pieces together.
After putting it away, Wang Haocheng started talking:
"Yu Hong, Jing Jing went to play chess with Rui Zhao last Saturday night... Do you know about this?"
Liu Yuhong raised his eyes and glanced at the eldest sister in the team, He continued to lower his head and put away the chess pieces.
"Well, it was such a big fuss, I found out the next day."
"Then what do you think of Jingjing's 'Wuyue Cup' qualifying match this time..."
"...That should be the reason."
Before Wang Haocheng could finish speaking, Liu Yuhong replied, and then he couldn't help but smacked his lips and cursed:
"Tsk, but so is Lin Ruixin!
"Let's just talk about our own affairs live on the live broadcast. , ask me what to do! It made Jingjing's mentality unstable!
“My junior brother has not yet come out of seclusion, and the teacher will not let me have any contact with him, otherwise I will have to tell him to teach this bastard a lesson for me in the chess holy war!”
Seeing the general's appearance, Wang Haocheng couldn't help but smile bitterly and continued to ask:
"Then have you talked to Jingjing in the past two days?"
Liu Yuhong shook his head: "No, anyway, she won the game of chess and was angry. It would be embarrassing for me to go to her to talk about this. It's better to pretend not to know."
"...That's right."
Wang Haocheng thought about it and agreed.
“But I’m a little curious, why do you pay so much attention to this Rui Zhao? You didn’t care about Jingjing’s birthday and went to Dongjiang to watch her compete!
"Jing Jing admires you very much. It's not like you don't know..."
Liu Yuhong quickly explained: "Oh, Sister Wang, aren't you planning to take a break next year... I have to find new teammates in advance. Yeah! ”
Wang Haocheng has been married for five years and has no children yet. But at this age, it’s already a bit difficult to put it off any longer.
So she plans to have a child next year and quit chess for a while. Everyone knows this.
"That's it..."
Wang Haocheng nodded slightly:
"I watched the chess game between her and Jingjing. She is indeed a good prospect, but she still lacks experience.
"If she takes the three seats next year, I feel that we It won't have any impact if the team doesn't have me...
"However, although she does have great potential, she still can't compare to Jingjing! But why do I always feel that you pay more attention to her than to Jingjing?" ? He even went to watch her match offline!”
But Liu Yuhong didn’t completely agree with the other party:
"Sister Wang, although Jing Jing is younger and stronger at chess now... this Rui Zhao may not be worse than Jing Jing in the future!
"The matter of Ding Bu Ding Duan will have a great impact on the subsequent development of her strength. Big! Although Rui Zhao is already eighteen years old, I have only met one girl who is not sure of her level. Counting men, I have only met one more, my junior brother!
“However, my junior brother Ding Duan was deliberately suppressed by my teacher for two years, and during this period he did not lack resources, and the situation was different...
“So, I I really don’t dare to underestimate this kid. It’s always a good idea to get in touch with him early. ”
Wang Haocheng thought about it for a while, and finally nodded in agreement:
"That's what you said... that's true. I guess I blamed you wrongly!"
"Rui Zhao looks like he has been delayed for a long time!" Once you enter the profession, you might be more aggressive than Jing Jing! "
"Well, that's what I thought, so I wanted to see it with my own eyes.
"...But, what do you mean by 'blaming me wrongly'? Why did you think I was wrong in the first place?"
Liu Yuhong discovered that there was something strange in his Ertai dialect. Couldn't help but bring it up.
Unexpectedly, a strange smile appeared on Wang Haocheng's lips at this time:
"I thought...she was Junior Sister Sun Yi, and you feel a sense of crisis!"
"Huh? What is this? Ghost teaching? "
Liu Yuhong was confused.
"Little Sheep is still Senior Sister Sun Houer! What does it matter?"
"No! You didn't understand what I meant!"
Wang Haocheng looked at Liu Yuhong meaningfully.
“How can Zou Yang be as beautiful as this little girl!”
Liu Yuhong was even more inexplicable:
“???
"What does playing chess have to do with being beautiful or not?"
Seeing Liu Yuhong's performance, Wang Haocheng shook his head helplessly and said clearly:
"Then I will ask directly:
“When do you and Sun Yi plan to finalize your relationship?
“You will be twenty-five next month, so don’t keep putting off some things!”
But Liu Yuhong still couldn't understand this:
"Relationship? What kind of relationship? At most, we are teammates...
"...
"...Eh ? ”
Most of the recent plots are of a foreshadowing nature, and I’m afraid the bosses won’t like it, so I’ll try to update as much as possible and make the progress as fast as possible. I plan to start writing the first game of Chess Holy War tomorrow.
6000+ updates were made today, and he is a strong person in the [Half-Step Three Updates Realm] again.
