Go Legend Chapter 112

Chapter 112 There are many benefits

Around 7:40 p.m., Li Xiangping unexpectedly received a call from his grandfather in his hometown.

"Huh? Hello Grandpa, what's the matter?"

"Hey, blame the grandson, hahahaha"

Hearing grandpa laughing so happily, Li Xiangping finally woke up, news broadcast! I was on the news broadcast of the court station! Although it is only a few seconds long, and it is placed in the last part of the domestic news, after all, it has a close-up shot of its own.

For an old revolutionary like his grandfather, his appearance on the news network may be a bigger event than winning this championship, which made him smile so happily.

However, Li Xiangping himself is not surprised that he can appear on the news network. After all, the third Go world champion won in this country is the second world champion after Ma Xiaofei, and it is the first time in 6 years. Years later, China won the world championship of Go again.

These factors, coupled with your own identity and age, then look at the problem from the perspective of domestic journalism, this time your winning the championship is definitely an inspirational good news full of positive energy. Such good news appears on the news network. This of course also makes sense.

Since they have all appeared on the news network, then the aftermath of this championship won't be so quickly calmed down.

In mid-June 2002, more than a week after Li Xiangping returned to the capital, the "Warmly Celebration of the Young Chinese Player Li Xiangping's World Championship" was held in the Chinese Chess Academy.

Yes, the victory conference held at the China Chess Academy was indeed called "grand", and its most concrete manifestation was that in addition to the Chinese Go management headed by Lao Chen, there were more than half of the vice presidents of the China Go Association. The chairpersons attended the meeting.

Don't underestimate this "more than half". You must know that there are dozens of vice-chairmen of the China Go Association, and the vast majority of them are not really people in the Go circle, but those who care about Go and love Go. It's just celebrities, so half of these people can appear at this conference, of course, it's a lot of face for Li Xiang.

No, maybe I can't tell Li Xiangping's face. It is more likely that there are quite a few of these people. They are very curious about Li Xiangping, so they took this opportunity to go to the Chess Academy to see Li Xiang. It's just the deity of the screen.

However, since there are so many famous people from all walks of life in attendance, this congratulatory conference is naturally a grand and warm one.

Since it was so grand and enthusiastic, then Li Xiangping, the protagonist, naturally got some benefits from this conference.

The first benefit he got was that Lao Chen and the others had discussed it before the competition, that is, as long as Li Xiangping won the world championship, he would go straight to the ninth dan.

The final ceremony of the Victory Conference was actually the ceremony for the official issuance of the professional nine-dan certificate. In a round of applause, Lao Chen, the current chairman of the China Go Association, personally handed the certificate to Li Xiangping.

As a result, when he was in the red book, Li Xiangping sighed in his heart. In his previous life, he fought for several years for a first-level professional certificate, and in the end he got nothing. I really didn't expect that he would become "Li Jiuduan" one day. .

Lao Chen, who awarded Li Xiangping's certificate, also sighed in his heart. In two months, Lao Chen will actually retire. He will step down as the chairman of the Chinese Go Association and the director of the Chinese Chess Academy. This year's dan competition is in his After retiring, this certification is actually his last certification.

Before Lao Chen, we never thought that he would have the opportunity to give a certificate of professional ninth dan to a child under the age of 14. Even if he had already handed the certificate to Li Xiangping, Lao Chen still had a kind of inconvenience. Feeling too real.

"Xiang Ping, do your best, keep working hard."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. By the way, I also want to thank Mr. Nie. Thank you Mr. Ma. Thank you for everyone's help and support. I will continue to work hard in the future and strive to climb the peak of chess skills."

Li Xiangping's words were greeted with bursts of applause, of course others would not know, this is actually just a 30-year-old soul pretending to be tender.

Of course, I have to say something. Li Xiangping's show just now was not entirely polite. At least Lao Nie and Ma Xiao, he really appreciates it. He thinks that if Lao Shi hadn't accepted the two After more than a month of special training, the championship is estimated to be enough.

In addition to going straight to the ninth dan, the second benefit that Li Xiangping obtained was that after receiving the certificate, the deputy head coach of the national team directly announced that from today, Li Xiangping will become the Chinese national Go team. players.

Ordinary people may not be very clear about the weight of this identity. In a sense, there may even be more than one professional 9-dan identity.

Because what Lao Luo just said was a "formal member" of the national team, not a member of the national training team.

How to describe it? Anyway, as far as Li Xiangping knows, after the "Seven Little Dragons", the Chinese national Go team actually has very few official members, and non-world champions cannot be selected at all.

The most famous example is the calm brother Xie He of the "little tiger generation". He has been in the top 5 in the domestic ranking for a long time, but with his strength and level, he has never been a full member of the national team. Known as a member of the "National Training Team".

In real history, "Brother Calm" once experienced a transfer in the Weijia arena, and the reason for his transfer may sound a bit unbelievable to the outside world, that is, because the new owner can solve a "system" for him, so He is going to transfer.

The difference between "full members of the national team" and "members of the national training team" is actually the difference in organization. The former is like a regular worker, and the latter is like a temporary worker. I believe those who are familiar with our national system will understand the difference. .

To tell the truth, the situation of calm brother Sheikh is not bad. After the later generations, the results of Chinese Go will get better and better, and even the conditions of the "national training team" have become strict. The most famous example is the world champion Dang Yi. Fei, after he won the championship, Yu Bin, the head coach of the national Go team at the time, said with emotion: Fortunately, he won the championship this time, otherwise he would have been removed from the national training team.

Look, if he hadn't won the championship at the time, he wouldn't even have been a "temporary worker" for the national Go team.

Therefore, Li Xiangping can now become an official member of China's national Go team. To be honest, he is also in good time. After all, domestic Go world champions are still very rare these days. He was young and gave him the feeling that he still had a lot of potential. That's why he got this status. Otherwise, if he wants to get this status again in a few years, it will be extremely difficult.

The third benefit that Li Xiangping got, that is, he is now, he has attracted the attention of almost all the armored teams in the country, and almost all the armored teams want him to join.

This situation is of course normal. After all, such a young world champion looks like a blue-chip stock no matter how you look at it. If Li Xiangping can join, in fact, there is no need to mention the issue of improving the team's record. It can be said that if any team can sign Li Xiangping, it will definitely make a profit without losing money.

In addition to this reason, more importantly, at present, the largest blue chip stock in the Go industry, he is still a real freelancer. He has no old club, and because he was only an amateur player before, he even registered There is no place for them, so signing such a person seems to be easier than digging corners of other teams.

To be honest, this is actually the reason why there are so many vice-chairmen today, because the vice-chairmen of the China Go Association are mainly composed of two parts, one is the famous people in the system, and the other is the rich local tyrants. , the big local tyrants who host the Go game and the big local tyrants who sponsor the Weijia team, and most of the vice-chairmen who came today are composed of these big local tyrants.

Among all the armored teams, the armored team sponsored by Lao Cai Cai Zhixiong has the most advantage. After all, Lao Cai and Lao Li have had personal friendships before. More importantly, Li Xiangping participated in the Samsung Cup this time by passing Lao Cai helped and temporarily registered with his team.

Although is temporary, in the terminology of Go, Lao Cai can be considered a first mover.

Therefore, although Lao Cai is not the vice-chairman, he is here today, and he is still dancing happily at the venue, especially after the meeting, he even holds Li Xiangping as an affectionate gesture:

"Haha Xiangping, come with me, I've made an appointment with your father, let's find a place to continue celebrating."

Li Xiang said in his heart that he would not go to heaven and earth again? With a smile in his mouth, he said:

"Good Uncle Cai."
