"Ah, I gave up!"
At four o'clock in the afternoon on February 17, a key game of the second game of the first round of the Weijia playoffs had just ended in Yuzhou City.
Facing the thirty-year-old Dai Ran, Sun Houer still acted as a "strength and weakness assessor" this time. Although he achieved certain results after launching a sudden attack in the middle of the game, he was still relied on by Dai Gong's accurate Abandoning the son changes to "receiving the mulberry elm", and finally invests in the son in the middle of the game. The Suhu team's promotion hopes also dimmed.
Sun Yi was obviously a little frustrated after the defeat.
It can be said that he has made up his mind recently and worked hard, but after encountering Dai Gong in the main battle, he failed again, which undoubtedly made him a little bit shocked.
However, after the game was over, Dai Ran rarely started talking:
"Sun Yi, you are more daring than before."
"...Eh?"
“…literally.”
Dai Gong’s words are still simple:
"Some parts of this chess game are a bit under-thought, but at least you dare to play it and you won't be euthanasia. This is a good thing.
"It seems that playing too much with Rui Zhao is really useful! "
"Dai Gong, do you say so too..."
Sun Yi smiled bitterly:
"Indeed, we can learn from each other!
"I used to play chess with her as a part-time job... But recently, although my grades don't seem to have improved, I do feel that the impact of chess has improved.
" Maybe, I'll wear it next time Your job is about to fall into my hands! "
"It should have been like this a long time ago, I'll wait. "
Dai Ran replied briefly:
"Then, you still charge a victory fee of five thousand? ”
"Uh..."
Sun Yi's face instantly became embarrassed:
"No, no more!
"If you keep it, I'm afraid that one day the incident will happen when the teacher comes over Break my legs...
"However, even though I said I didn't need the victory fee, Rui Zhao was afraid that I wouldn't care and insisted on paying it. He just changed it to two thousand per game for fast chess and one thousand for slow chess.
"I can't talk to her, so I just keep doing this. I always feel that I'm really embarrassed..."
But who knows, at this time Dai Ran raised his eyebrows slightly and said:
“Nothing to be embarrassed about, you deserve it.
“I can’t really earn this money at my age, so I just help her talk about chess and analyze it.
“That’s right, you have to be mentally prepared.”
"... Prepare yourself mentally?"
"Yes.
"Isn't this little girl easy to accompany? ”
…
…
"Oh, Vice Mayor Niu! Long time no see!
"The last time we saw each other was last year when the Women's Masters Tournament was held in Or City. It's been half a year! ”
At the same time, the Chinese Go Association.
Hearing that Vice Mayor Niu of Or City was coming, Shang Chaotian, Chairman of the Chess Association, went directly to the gate with Lu Wenjie to greet him. As soon as the rightful owner arrived, he was greeted with a lot of polite greetings
And Niu Xianru was also very enthusiastic and took Shang Chaotian's hand and said:
"Yes, yes!
"At that time, we witnessed Empress Zhao Tian winning the title, and we were very impressed..."
The host and guest were polite for a while and did not mention it more.
After completing the existing procedures, both parties moved to the reception room in the Chess Association
Seeing that the situation was almost suitable, Shang Chaotian turned to the main topic:
"Deputy Mayor Niu, you said you had something to discuss on the previous phone call. Can you tell me what it is about?
"If there are other people involved, I will make an appointment immediately! "Ah, it's just a small thing!"
“With Chairman Shang and Vice Chairman Lu here, why do we need other people here?”
Niu Xianru was half polite and half polite He responded with a tall hat, and then said:
"That's it! Originally, I came to Dajing on behalf of the city to report something, but I didn't expect that recently in our Go circle, we can say that there are constant big news!
"First of all, our Title holder Rui Zhao made great contributions in this Nongshim Cup, ending Liu Shixian's many records in the Nongshim Cup in one fell swoop, and bringing back the long-lost Nongshim Cup for our country! Our city is also very proud of this matter.
“What’s even more commendable about the result is that Rui Zhao defeated the first person today as a woman, but he was not satisfied with anything. Instead, he set increasingly high standards and strict requirements for himself, and was not satisfied with being limited to women. tournament, and decided to compete head-on with male players for a long time, vowing to show off the style of female players!
“But because of this, we suffered some criticism from other brotherly cities and friendly Go cooperation units. Misunderstand. This is something we deeply regret.
“Now Rui Zhao is our title holder, and in a sense, he is also a child of our Or City.
"Our children have been misunderstood. We must find some way to show our support!
"After thinking about it, we can only continue to support the hosting of this women's title event, which is the most direct and powerful.
"So, the main reason I came here today is to talk about this matter!"
Hearing this, a smile began to appear on Shang Chaotian's face, which was still a little reserved.
Oh, my earnest words of advice to this girl Rui Zhao are indeed in vain. Or City can reciprocate the favor.
Isn't this "all your hard work pays off" come true!
“What Deputy Mayor Niu means is...
“Or City plans to continue sponsoring the Women’s Masters Tournament? "
Niu Xianru nodded and smiled, and continued to add:
"It's not just long-term sponsorship!
"We intend to upgrade it to an important part of our city's long-term cultural tourism strategy! It will become a cultural business card of our Or City!
"In the past three years, we have competed with chess in this women's title competition The cooperation with Xie is very pleasant, so...
"We plan to renew the cooperation agreement for another five years!"
"Huh? Five years?!"
Hear this For a long time, Shang Chaotian was overjoyed!
Because the overall viewing value of women's Go competitions is average, it has always been easy to get no long-term and effective sponsorship.
Some competitions often run for one or two sessions and then fizzle out, but this time Er City is willing to renew the competition and it has been extended for five years. This is undoubtedly a good thing!
And this isn’t the end yet!
Not waiting for Chaotian to take away the surprise on his face, Niu Xianru said again:
"Then, there is something that I may need to discuss with you...
"It's mainly about prize money and the scale of the event. We plan to upgrade and expand it. Do you have any opinions on this?"
...What?
Shang Chaotian's eyes suddenly widened.
To be honest, this request was completely beyond Shang Chaotian’s expectation!
The reason why Or City took over the Women's Masters Tournament was mainly to respond to the country's call to "enrich the frontier with culture". It needed some typical projects and did not show much subjective initiative.
The result...
This time Or City even offered to sign a long-term cooperation contract, but it actually wanted to increase the bonus and the scale of the competition? !
This is really...
I love it so much!
While Shang Chaotian tried hard to control the corners of his mouth from turning up too sharply, he pretended to be calm and said:
"We will definitely welcome this!
"If your city can increase investment in the event, the Women's Masters Tournament will definitely become the benchmark for domestic women's Go competitions! "
Niu Xianru smiled and said:
"That's for sure! "
"Our current title holder Rui Zhao is undoubtedly the number one sister in the entire Chinese Go game!
"And according to this situation, Rui Zhao may only have this title in the future. Then this title should be worthy of her status as the first sister in the country!"
Oh... So that's it!
I wonder if the total prize money of the tournament can be 30% more than before...
While Shang Chaotian was secretly speculating in his heart, Niu Xianru's next words directly made him The hard control was on the spot:
“...Our initial idea is to triple the game fee for each round to the original price on the original basis!
"The challenger final will be changed to a third round of chess. The title challenger will receive at least 300,000 yuan in bonuses!
"And the final title winner's bonus..."
"Just Let’s put it all together, one million! ”
