"You mean, Lao Chen, they have already looked for you?"

"yes, it's up to you to make up your mind."

Li Xiaoqiang smiled slightly. Chen Chaoyue will find Hu Yi, and Li Xiaoqiang is not surprised at all.

The South Korean side has held two new world championships in a row, which can be said to have brought a lot of pressure to the management of Chinese Go. With the newly released "Samsung Cup" and "LG Cup", the number of world-class Go competitions has reached 5. Isn't it said that Go is the three countries of China, Japan and South Korea? And what about the Chinese competition? Where are the Go tournaments held in China?

Although the "Yingshi Cup" is a competition held by Chinese, it should be known that it is only a competition held by "Chinese" after all, not a competition held by "themselves".

Therefore, to hold a competition that belongs to "itself", if before this, the Chinese Chess Association only had the desire to do so, then now, for the management of Chinese Go, this matter has changed to the existence of "task".

If they want to hold a Go World Championship, Chen Chaoyue will find Hu Yi as soon as possible, which is actually very normal. Although Hu Yi's "base area" is in the south, after he developed a real estate project in the capital, the number of visits to the capital has increased significantly in the past two years. As an avid Go enthusiast (self-proclaimed), a well-known domestic tycoon, Li Xiaoqiang's uncle. After the number of haunts in the Chinese Chess Academy, Hu Yi and Chen Chaoyue, Nie Xuanfeng and others have established quite good personal relationships.

And strictly speaking, in addition to the relationship between Li Xiaoqiang's uncle, Hu Yi cannot be said to be an outsider to Chinese Go, Li Xiaoqiang's Ganyuan Go Club, Hu Yi is one of the main sponsors.

There are relationships, there are strengths. There is also a willingness to hold a competition. So many factors come together, so when the management has the idea and desire to hold the World Championship. Of course, they will find Hu Yi.

"How did I get the idea? It's mostly up to you. Uncle, let me ask you first, do you have that strength now? ”

Seeing Li Xiaoqiang talking about the issue of money, Hu Yi showed a look of pride:

"If it's the size of the current competitions, there's no problem at all. But ......"

But if it's the legendary "Uncle's Cup", it may be a bit reluctant. Isn't that so? ”

"Hey, hey."

Although Hu Yi is now thriving, when he goes outside, many people have to call him "Mr. Hu" respectfully. But he and Li Xiaoqiang's three brothers have been close since childhood, and they are usually not used to being big or small. Seeing Li Xiaoqiang joking with himself, Hu Yihun didn't care.

"I think it's up to you to make up your own mind. Doing it now and doing it in the future has its own benefits. If it is held now, it will be the first World Go Championship in China. But if it turns out as we envisioned the "Uncle Cup", it will be the largest Go tournament in the world. Fastest or largest, you can only pick one right now. ”

Hu Yi went around in circles several times. Final Stand:

"I've decided, I still want to have the biggest and best tournament."

"Okay, you decide."

Hearing his uncle Hu Yi's decision, Li Xiaoqiang smiled. To be honest, in the face of such a choice, Li Xiaoqiang really prefers Hu Yi to make this decision. In Li Xiaoqiang's view, in the case of insufficient preparation, an ordinary world championship is held. That's not really that interesting. For example, the "Qiu Ju Cup" in real history.

It must be pointed out that Li Xiaoqiang has no opinion on the "Qiu Ju Cup" itself. The sponsor of the "Qiu Ju Cup" is an air conditioner. In a past life. It is because of the holding of the "Qiu Ju Cup", anyway, all the air conditioners in Li Xiaoqiang's house are Qiu Ju brand.

Despite this, Li Xiaoqiang still thinks that there are many unsatisfactory aspects of the "Qiu Ju Cup". The prize money for the championship of the "Qiu Ju Cup" is 150,000 US dollars, which is the best in all world competitions. Moreover, when the "open" format has become the mainstream of Go competitions, the "Qiuju Cup" has always adhered to the traditional "invitational tournament system". Let's not talk about the format and the size of the prize money. Li Xiaoqiang believes that the most unsuccessful thing about the "Qiu Ju Cup" is that its game time is too chaotic. There is no way for chess fans to follow.

In his previous life, Li Xiaoqiang was also a super chess fan, and he could count most of the games. Only for the "Qiu Ju Cup", Li Xiaoqiang has a vague impression.

In real history, the "Qiu Ju Cup" began to be held in 98. In the first few sessions, it was held every year, and later it was changed to every two years. That's it. The key is that the "Qiu Ju Cup" competition is extremely irregular, you don't know when it will open, and you don't know when its top 8 will be played after the opening. As for the finals, it may be at the beginning of a competition, and even the organizers themselves don't know when it will be.

Li Xiaoqiang doesn't know what others think, anyway, Li Xiaoqiang's own feeling is that the "Qiu Ju Cup" is very random and messy. I even feel that the "Qiu Ju Cup" is very reluctant, although the "Qiu Ju Cup" has been insisted on being held, but there have been several times during which there has been news that it is going to be suspended. This should have something to do with the way it runs the tournament on and off.

Of course, when it comes to "Qiu Ju Cup", we have to mention the wonderful "Qiu Ju Clause".

The so-called "Qiu Ju Clause" is an overlord clause signed by Qiu Ju Company and the Chinese Weiqi Association at the beginning of the establishment of the "Qiu Ju Cup". The two sides agreed that during the "Qiuju Cup" period, other world competitions will not be allowed to be held in China. That is to say, as long as the "Qiu Ju Cup" does not stop, then there can only be one "Qiu Ju Cup" under the name of the Chinese Go Association.

How so? Mr. Li did not want to comment on this clause. It can only be said that there are two problems that can be seen from this clause: First, the Chinese Go management at that time was indeed a little hungry and urgently needed to hold a world Go competition. Second, the management of Chinese Go...... It is true that they are all chess players, and it is okay to play Go, but if they are put in other fields, such as the business world or something, they will definitely be bullied to the point that there is no scum left.

But then again, the so-called "Qiu Ju clause" actually didn't play a role at all. In real history, no one knew for a long time what the "Qiu Ju clause" still existed. It was not until the holding of the second World Go Championship "Bailing Cup" in China that this clause was gradually known to the outside world.

How do you know? It's kind of interesting to say. The competitions held in China, including the "Qiu Ju Cup", Weijia, as well as the "Tianyuan Battle" and "Celebrity Battle", etc., generally have one article when introducing these competitions: a certain competition is held by the Chinese Go Association. But when it comes to the "Lark Cup", it's different. The organizer of the tournament became the "International Go Federation".

The name "International Go Federation" seems to be big, but it is actually a very loose organization. Go is not like any other sport. For example, organizations like "FIFA", "International Tennis Federation", and even "FIDE" for chess, these organizations have a lot of power. But the world of Go is different, and there is no truly global organization in the world of Go.

Take the "International Go Federation" as an example, the original intention of its establishment was to work hard to unify the rules of Go. But everyone has seen the effect, until Li Xiaoqiang was reborn, there were still multiple rules coexisting in the world, and there was no hope for unifying the rules of Go at all.

Therefore, the so-called "International Go Federation" holds seminars related to the rules of Go several times a year. Everyone sat together and talked about the skin, and at most they complained about the other rules. That's what this organization does.

However, when it came to the "Bailing Cup", this organization turned out to be the "organizer" of the competition, and it was the provincial local people's government that "hosted" it alongside. And the "organizer" that everyone is accustomed to, the Chinese Go Association, has become the so-called "co-organizer". So everyone was shocked and asked what was going on. As a result, the "Qiu Ju Clause", which no one knew for more than 10 years, gradually became known to the outside world.

"Alas, in the final analysis, my strength is not strong enough, and it seems that I have to speed up and make money."

In Li Xiaoqiang's dormitory at the China Chess Academy, his chat with his uncle continued.

"If you want to make money, you should have a good opportunity this year, but I don't know if you can prepare in advance."

"Oh? ...... are you referring to?"

By the time Li Xiaoqiang finished speaking, his uncle Hu Yi's eyes were already shining:

"If that's the case, it's an opportunity. No, after the New Year, I must go to Shencheng to find Xiaogang immediately and think about this matter, by the way, and Zhao Dabao's kid......"

The "Xiaogang" Hu Yi is talking about is Li Xiaoqiang's brother Li Xiaogang, who has now obtained a master's degree and works in a financial institution in Shencheng.

As for what Li Xiaoqiang said, it is actually not a big deal. What year is it? 1997 year. A lot of big things happened at home and abroad this year. Of course, the most important is the return of Hong Kong, and after the return of Hong Kong, it is, of course, the Southeast Asian financial crisis.

Our "Deputy Chief Engineer Li" was engaged in construction in his previous life. Doing engineering belongs to the category of the real economy. He wasn't very familiar with the financial industry and the virtual economy.

I am not familiar with these things, Li Xiaoqiang thinks it doesn't matter. Because he knew in his heart that in this regard, his uncle Hu Yi had an extraordinary talent. The reason why Li Xiaoqiang dares to be so sure is because in real history, Hu Yi debuted much later than in this life, and his first pot of gold was obtained in this financial crisis.

Li Xiaoqiang didn't know exactly how he operated in his previous life. However, his current background is much stronger than in his previous life, and it is assumed that he can also do more in terms of preparation than in his previous life......

How to say it, anyway, Li Xiaoqiang has confidence in his uncle.

Li Xiaoqiang and Hu Yi's chat lasted for a long time, and the two communicated like friends, during which Hu Yi was not at all like Li Xiaoqiang's elders. But in the end, Hu Yi finally showed a little bit of an elder. He pointed out the window to a construction site, which was a real estate he had developed in the capital.

"Xiaoqiang, I told you a long time ago, if you don't dislike it, that place is your new house, and now it will be completed soon. I just don't know ...... you and Mengyu."

Uncle Hu Yi glanced at Li Xiaoqiang deeply, and Li Xiaoqiang was silent. (To be continued.) )

PS: Continue to persevere, persevere, and cheekily ask for a monthly pass. Please, please, see if I can rank 5th in the competitive monthly ticket list this month.
