Chapter 362 Don’t worry about it
“Tsk, it looks like... there is no hope!
“Although I heard that the little witch has been working very hard recently, playing Go almost every day , but...there is indeed a gap in level! ”
At 4:30 pm on December 22, Wendao Go Club.
Ni Zhanggen looked at the AI winning rate in the second set of the “Wuyue Cup” final on the big screen and couldn’t help but sigh. One breath.
Lei Qi, who was sitting aside and accompanying the explanation, immediately responded:
“There is no way, she can enter the finals. In fact, she mainly relies on Sister Zouyang’s mistakes and her own hard work.
< br>“In terms of absolute level, there is still a gap with several female leaders. ”
Today is Friday afternoon, approaching the weekend.
Ni Zhanggen, chairman of Dream Lily, saw that there were two important competitions in the competition this afternoon - the final three rounds of the Wuyue Cup. In the second game and the challenger final of the Yi Xian Tournament, seeing that there was nothing important going on in the afternoon, I decided to take a break from my busy schedule and made an appointment with Lei Qi, who had no competition for the time being, to come to the Wendao Go Club to watch and talk about chess for fun.
In this Yixian Tournament, Lei Qi lost to Lang Haishen in the semi-finals and failed to enter the challenger finals, so he just returned to Dongjiang yesterday. Unexpectedly, I received Ni Zhanggen's invitation almost as soon as I arrived at Dongjiang's home.
Lei Qi responded immediately.
Ni Zhanggen is the CEO of the only sponsor of the World Series [Dream Lily Cup]. He had previously given a wild card to Lei Qi when he was not yet good at chess, so Lei Qi had no reason to refuse at 9th Dan.
Although the challenger final of the Yixian Tournament, the battle between Lang Haishen and Tang Guan Shengzhigu and the offense was very exciting. But the Wuyue Cup was a foreign war after all, so most of the time, Ni Zhanggen and Lei Qi mainly watched the Wuyue Cup finals.
“Well, looking at these two finals, it does feel like this. There is a gap in strength!”
Ni Zhanggen nodded and sighed again:
"The Ice Queen... is going to win her fourth consecutive women's world championship!
"The total number...I remember it is eight indivual? "
"Yes, if Kim Woo-eun wins 9th-dan in this set, it will be her eighth women's world championship. "
"...Have you already won eight women's world championships? ”
Ni Zhanggen whispered:
"I remember... Mr. Wu also has eight women's world championships, right?"
"Well. If he wins this Wuyue Cup, Jin Youen can catch up. He tied the record of Mr. Wu and ranked first in history."
Hearing this, Ni Zhanggen felt even more:
"That's it...
"Hey, I really didn't expect it!
"The little girl who burst into tears because she swallowed an egg and was eliminated from the ring competition in 2012 is now about to catch up with Mr. Wu's record!
“Even... maybe she will surpass Mr. Wu soon...
“She should have the best chance of winning in the air-fan battle next March, right? "
"No surprise, it should be. ”
Lei Qi truthfully stated his opinion.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Ni Zhanggen smacked his tongue and said:
"What a pity!
"If the top eight play that game If Rui Zhao can be more mature and see through Jin Youen's tricks, Mr. Wu's record might even be able to be maintained for a while longer..."
Lei Qi, who was calmly explaining the chess game to Ni Zhanggen, suddenly heard the name of "strong enemy", and his eyebrows moved subconsciously:
"This... is true!
"However, even if Wu The fact that the old record was broken doesn't mean much - in Mr. Wu's time, the average Women's World Series was only once a year, much less than it is now.
“In the ten years from 1993 to 2002, Wu participated in the nine Women’s World Series and only missed the championship once. This dominance is unprecedented, and the Ice Queen is temporarily unable to match it.
"Based on the estimated grade points, Mr. Wu should have reached the top 20 in the world at that time, which is something Kim Woo-eun has never achieved.
"If she wants to truly become the number one female chess player in history, I'm afraid she still has a lot to prove."
Ni Zhanggen nodded:
"Well, this is true! Just But it’s still a bit of a pity...
“Speaking of that game of chess, it is indeed the ‘first women’s game in history’, it is indeed extremely exciting!
“Some time ago, I met Director Qian of Zhicheng Group, and he was very proud when we talked about the game of chess!
"He said that he originally wanted to ask Rui Zhao for help in copying the chess score of this game, and let him frame the second chess score in his office!
"However, Rui Zhao was not interested in this chess game. I was really embarrassed, feeling that I had lost the winning move, and refused to do so no matter what. In the end, Director Qian had to give up temporarily and try again at an opportunity.
"So...for the time being, in his office there is only the birth of the 'Big Flying Shoulder Chong'..."
"The birth of the 'Big Flying Shoulder Chong' Bureau? ”
Hearing this sensitive word that Ni Zhanggen deliberately mentioned, Lei Qi’s expression suddenly changed:
"You, you are talking about...?"
Ni Zhanggen answered naturally:
"That was of course the match where Rui Zhao defeated Bai Yinhua in the City Cup!
“The fourth game of the Chess Holy War was not the first time that the flying knife created by Ni Jue was used in an official game.
"Lei Qi, you should be very clear about this."
The young man fell silent immediately, his expression changed many times, but in the end he just said in a deep voice:
"Chairman Shang... told you?"
Ni Zhanggen smiled and said:
“Don’t blame him!
“It’s because I have some special circumstances, and he was afraid that it would affect you, so he told me all this. "The young man couldn't help but pursed his lower lip, then smiled bitterly and said:
"How could it be!
"This matter...in the final analysis, I am immature and have not withstood the test. I can't blame others.
"To put it simply...it's over. It's just that I still have obstacles in my heart."
"Do you think it's a failure if you don't beat Rui Zhao?"
"So... right!"
Faced with the other party's questioning, Lei Qi sighed.
Ni Zhanggen continued:
“But...it’s not easy!
“To be honest, this girl is really excellent.
"Do you know why Director Qian put her chess score from the City Cup in his office?"
Lei Qi pondered for a while:
"...because As an amateur chess player, she must have won against a high-level professional like Bai Yinhua!"
"No, this can only be considered a minor factor at best."
Ni Zhanggenyao. He shook his head and said:
"I heard Vice Chairman Lu say that when Director Qian heard about this before the game officially started, he made an appointment with Rui Zhao on the spot for this chess score, and said that he wanted this score 'regardless of winning or losing'."
"Whether...win or lose..."
Lei Qi repeated it in a murmur, as if he was chewing the meaning behind these four words very hard.
Ni Zhanggen said with admiration:
“Yes!
"Actually, just the fact that this girl is willing to work hard for this matter, and she only sleeps four or five hours a day for almost a month, is enough to move people!
" Ni Jue also saw this. , only then was he willing to take out all his flying knives and give them to him.
"Lei Qi, to be fair to you, even if you include male chess players, who else have you seen who has such determination and courage?"
The young man was silent for a moment.
Ni Zhanggen paused and continued:
"I have also read some of the arguments between you and her on the Internet recently.
"To be honest Lei Qi, you are very, very good, but...
"...She is the same.
“If you want to 'beat' her, you must become the leader of Chinese Go as early as possible, whether on or off the board. "
Lei Qi was silent for another brief period, and then he breathed a sigh of relief:
"I understand Mr. Ni, I will try my best to live up to your expectations!"
"Well, that's just right!"
Ni Zhanggen patted the young man on the shoulder and took advantage of the situation and said:
"Then... I also need to tell you about my 'special situation'.
"Some of my executives are interested in the huge publicity value behind Rui Zhao. , I feel that this is the time when our many years of sponsorship of the Go competition will be realized in one fell swoop. It is reasonable and reasonable, and I am not very opposed to it.
"So, for this [Dream Lily Cup], I plan to give Rui Zhao a wild card in exchange for her helping us shoot some promotional materials and attracting high attention behind them.
"This is My decision has nothing to do with Chairman Shang. I hope you don't care too much. "
"No, no! "
Lei Qi waved his hand quickly:
"Although... I haven't completely overcome the hurdle in my heart, but I have figured out some things.
"As you said, she is indeed very, very good.
"In just six months, she won seven consecutive victories in the Lakeside Cup, was promoted to fifth dan, and won the Women's League [Best Rookie] chess player, I think she is totally worthy of a wild card even if we don’t take into account some off-game factors.
"What's more, she is indeed very, very beautiful. She will probably be very effective in advertising and promotional materials. I can understand your decision."
Hearing this , Ni Zhanggen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows playfully:
"Huh? You actually think Rui Zhao is beautiful?
"I thought your aesthetics were different from ours!"
Lei Qi's tone suddenly showed a hint of helplessness:
"The fact that she is beautiful is an objective fact, there is nothing wrong with it. It’s easy to admit.”
“That’s right...”
Ni Zhanggen nodded slightly:
"It turns out... such an outstanding and beautiful girl of the same age is still an insider. You don't want to work hard to chase her, but you are thinking about how to fight with her? What do you want me to say about you!"
The expression on Lei Qi's face instantly froze on the spot, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence:
"This...
"I won't bother you to worry about it..."< br>
