Chapter 463: A look of surprise
In early August, Li Xiaoqiang returned to China with honor, and after returning to China, it was naturally noisy and lively.
According to the habits of our people, when encountering such a big event, it is inevitable that several celebrations will be held. Let Li Xiaoqiang parade around and attend a few celebrations, that must also be a must.
Soon after Li Xiaoqiang returned to China, the prize money of the "Fujitsu Cup" champion went to the account of the Chinese Chess Academy. 15,000,000 yen. In recent years, the yen has been appreciating rapidly, so it is worth more than $100,000 in US dollars. According to the regulations, Li Xiaoqiang can personally get about 28% of it, and if it is converted into RMB, Li Xiaoqiang will get hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Is this a reasonable ratio? To tell the truth, Li Xiaoqiang thinks it's still a bit low. However, Li Xiaoqiang will not be entangled in the issue of bonuses. Regarding this problem, Li Xiaoqiang believes that it is still Chang Rensheng who said something in later generations: For our generation of chess players, because we have been trained by the country since we were young, the road to learning chess does not cost anything, so it is reasonable to say that the prize ratio is a little lower. However, it will be different in the later generations, and if the later generations want to take the road of professional Go, they must have a considerable amount of investment in the early stage. If it's still such a low percentage, it's obviously inappropriate.
In fact, in the later generations of Chinese Go circles, this proportion of prize money in international competitions has indeed been adjusted. At its peak, the individual player was able to get a little more than 40% of the hands.
Of course, this is only the most basic income. Our national conditions in China are different, in fact, to become a world champion in China, the real income is far less than this. For example, the current Li Xiaoqiang, the Chinese Chess Academy is under the jurisdiction of the State General Administration of Sports. In this year, the professionalization of sports in China has just started, and the Football League A has only started this year. The central task of the General Administration of Sports is still to do well in the Olympic Games and the Asian Games. These all cost money. Therefore, at this time, some people jokingly said that the China Chess Academy in this year is a rare "big foreign exchange earner" under the General Administration of Sports.
Now that the Chinese Chess Academy has handed over so many bonuses, you must always express a little bit of it. All right. Now that the General Administration of Sports has said it, then the Chess Academy will naturally have to express it, right? After the Qiyuan said that although Ganyuan Province, where Li Xiaoqiang is located, is a poor province, Li Xiaoqiang is the pride of the people in his hometown, and the expression in the province can't be too cold, right? In addition, there are various activities......
How to describe it? Li Xiaoqiang feels like the "reward" in the later online novels, and he is busy receiving all kinds of "rewards" these days. In this way, after winning the world championship, the actual income is not small. At least a house in the capital in this era should be earned by yourself.
It may be less than the above, but it is definitely more than enough. Li Xiaoqiang thinks. At least I am much happier than my junior chess players. If the junior chess players want to buy a better house in the capital, it may not be enough to win 3 world championships.
August is the off-season for Go competitions. Except for the final of the Fujitsu Cup, there are no major competitions in the entire international chess world. Just when Li Xiaoqiang was busy collecting "rewards" everywhere, a news from the Japanese Go community attracted everyone's attention.
Led by Hideo Otake and Masao Kato, they held a commemorative meeting to celebrate the 200th rank of the Kitani Dojo. At the commemorative meeting, they even invited Mrs. Reiko Kobayashi who was sick. Mrs. Reiko announced: For the sake of the future of Japanese Go, the Kitani Dojo will be reopened.
On this day, Hero Otake, Masao Kato, Masaki Takemiya. Kobayashi Koji and Zhao Jixun appeared at the same time, plus Yoshio Ishida and Kobayashi Satoru and others. The disciples of Mutani's sect gathered together, and they vowed to continue the glory of their master.
The move by Masao Kato and others was immediately met with an enthusiastic response from the Japanese chess community. Sakata Eio, Fujisawa Hideyuki and Lin Haifeng and others have expressed their support. As a close friend of Mr. Minoru Kitani. Mr. Wu Qingyuan even attended the commemorative meeting in person. In addition, many big figures in Japanese politics, business, and journalism also expressed their support. And said that he would definitely provide concrete help. For a while, the restart of the Mugu Dojo still felt a bit like an unprecedented event.
At the commemorative meeting, Hero Otake, on behalf of all the brothers and sisters, announced: the reopened Mugu Dojo. In addition to recruiting potential "inner disciples" nationwide according to tradition. One of the most important changes is to break down the perception of the portal. Even if it is a disciple of other sects, such as Zhang Xu and Yamashita Keigo and others. It doesn't matter if they want to come to the dojo to study. As long as they are identified as potential rookies, they can enter the new Mugu Dojo for careful training.
The new dojo does not have a fixed master, and all the super-first-class masters under the Mugu sect are willing to serve as teachers, and it is an open education.
Otake Hero also announced that the reopened Mugu Dojo will learn from Chinese Go and Korean Go, especially the Chinese National Go Team, and the new Dojo will learn from many of the training models of the Chinese National Go Team.
Seeing this news, Li Xiaoqiang smiled. When it comes to domestic training methods, it is actually not new. To summarize it from a high level, it is actually the so-called "three from one big" is also. "Difficult", "strict", "starting from actual combat", plus "large amount of exercise". This is the so-called "three from one". Not to mention, this set of training methods that everyone is familiar with is actually suitable for Go in most cases.
summed up this training method is the incomparably brilliant Chinese women's volleyball team in the 80s. At the beginning, the Chinese women's volleyball team actually learned this method from the Japanese......
After going around in a big circle for a long time, the Japanese are ready to learn their own methods again.
At the end of the ceremony, the big bamboo hero also proudly took out a child. It is claimed that this is a Go genius discovered after the establishment of the new dojo. Now he is 5 years old, and he is much more powerful than Zhao Zhixun, who just entered the dojo at the age of 6. At the same time, Otake Hero announced: This child will become the first disciple of the new dojo, and everyone will carefully train him. At the end of the ceremony, Zhao Zhixun and the 5-year-old child were asked to play a game of chess as a commemoration.
Li Xiaoqiang's eyes widened when he saw this clip on TV. This one...... Isn't it Yuta Iyama's little Shota?
"In the Go world, it's really hard to produce a crow's mouth like Bailey. Everyone's vision is still there. I really don't know how far Iyama Yuta can grow after his life changes? ”
Li Xiaoqiang felt this way in his heart.
Li Xiaoqiang's emotion is not over, and there are even greater emotions waiting for Li Xiaoqiang.
After receiving a round of "rewards" outside, in mid-August, Li Xiaoqiang returned to the Chinese Chess Academy.
"Why is the chess academy so lively today?"
"The Chess Academy is conducting a new round of selection for the national junior team. Xiaoqiang, it's just right that you're back, Lao Nie has been looking for you for a long time, and he said that he wanted you to take care of this selection or something. ”
"Oh."
Li Xiaoqiang still knows about this. As a few years ago we were in a period of institutional transition. The national Go team has not been replenished with fresh blood. Today, the results of Go are much better than in the previous life, and the external environment is naturally much better. Therefore, the Chess Academy decided to adjust the various echelons of the national team. Like Shao Weigang, Chang Rensheng and others, they will be directly promoted to the national team this time. Of course, there are naturally those who rise, and there are those who fall, such as Liu Da and Liu Er, who will return to the local team this time.
One of the highlights of this adjustment is the formation of a new round of national junior teams. Because the national junior team has existed in name only for a long time. Therefore, the Chess Academy attaches great importance to this work. For this purpose, this selection tournament is specially organized, and young chess players under the age of 15 who have already obtained the professional rank are eligible to participate.
This matter was taken care of by Nie Whirlwind, and he poured great enthusiasm into this work. Since the "promotion, fixed-stage race" some time ago, he has been busy running for several months.
"The selection tournament has been held for several rounds, and now those little chess players are in the hall, why don't Xiaoqiang go and have a look?"
"Let's go."
Li Xiaoqiang seemed interested. He really wanted to see which famous chess players from later generations would appear in this tryout.
I didn't expect to walk to the door as soon as I walked to the door. Li Xiaoqiang's greater emotion appeared.
It's Gu Dali! In the crowd, Li Xiaoqiang saw Gu Dali at a glance.
Li Xiaoqiang's age is one round older than Gu Dali. But Li Xiaoqiang, who was a chess fan in his previous life, never hid his love for Gu Dali.
How to describe Gu Dali best? Li Xiaoqiang thinks the most appropriate word is: "sunshine".
People look sunny and play chess sunshine, and what he brings to Chinese Go is actually sunshine!
To say that as a chess fan of Li Xiaoqiang's generation, sometimes it is actually quite boring. When the tournament first started, many people didn't know about Go. Affected by the "Go fever", he finally began to get in touch with Go, and the scenery of Nie Whirlwind has actually become a thing of the past. Everyone can only review the glory of Nie Whirlwind in various newspapers and magazines and in memory.
Well, after being really obsessed with Go, Chinese Go seems to bring more pain to the majority of chess fans.
Ma Xiaofei, except for that short year, the rest is more tragic.
In Chang Rensheng's generation, that feeling is even more unbearable. Chess fans who experienced that era know that Chinese chess fans have no confidence at all when they watched the World Series in that era.
It is Gu Dali, and only when Gu Dali is born, Chinese chess fans don't seem to be so worried when watching the game. His domineering spirit and his sunny smile have brought too many good memories to Chinese chess fans.
Li ...... Mr. Li, are you Mr. Li? ”
When Li Xiaoqiang came back to his senses from the good memory, he was stunned for a while, and at the same time a little ridiculous.
Because he suddenly found that now Gu Dali was looking at him with a look of surprise. (To be continued......)
