Go Legend Chapter 261

Chapter 261

At the end of March, the new year's National Go League was officially opened.

As usual, during the opening of the Weijia, as usual, there will be several rounds of "competition system", and most of the opening ceremonies will not be held in big cities, but will be held in some small and medium-sized cities.

After all, compared with other competitive events, the requirements of chess events are really not big. A few sets of chess sets, and then arranging food and lodging, this is basically done. To be honest, it is difficult to hold a round armor, it is really better to hold one Large meeting”

Since we talk about meetings, everyone understands that when we Chinese hold meetings, we have already learned our experience. It is precisely because of this that a game like Go, which looks very good and has cultural connotations, is really popular in some small and medium-sized cities.

The same is true for this year's Weijia. The opening location is Quzhou, Zhejiang Province. Well, it is also the location of the famous Go legend "Lanke Mountain".

"By the way, Brother Ding'an, I remember you are also from Zhejiang Province, right? Where is Zhejiang Province?"

"Yes, Brother Na Xiping and I are both from Haining, Zhejiang Province."

"Tsk tsk, the three major chess schools in the Ming Dynasty, the most powerful one is in your Zhejiang province, you have three chess masters in Qing Dynasty, and two chess masters are from your Zhejiang province, it seems that you people from Zhejiang province are quite good at playing chess. Well."

Li Xiangping's emotion is of course not indiscriminate. In fact, Zhejiang Province has always been an important Go town in our country. Not to mention the ancient times, even in modern Go, in real history, if you mention the leading figures in the domestic Go game, people usually say "Nie Ma Chang Coca".

Look, among the leaders of the Five Dynasties, two are from Zhejiang Province, which is very telling, and it also shows that the Zhejiang Province people are really good at playing chess.

Of course, no matter how awesome the people of Zhejiang Province were in the past, of course, among the armors that opened in Zhejiang Province this year, the one who looks the most beautiful and the most awesome is, of course, Li Xiangping鈥斺��

Although most of his fame so far, he was actually earned by people from Zhejiang Province.

And the reason why he is so eye-catching this time is that in addition to his results last year, there is actually another reason, that is, before coming here, Comrade Cai Zhixiong has already announced the details of his contract to the outside world, winning a set of 10 Wan's game bonus also successfully surpassed Li Shishi and became the highest single-game bonus record in the Weijia arena.

You must know that in this day and age, this bonus is really not low. In 2002 last year, the average income of the main players in Weijia in the league was only 200,000 yuan, and a small number of star players could reach 500,000 or 600,000 yuan. The single-game income of foreign aid was higher, but once There are not many foreign aids, and secondly, most foreign aids have restrictions on their appearances.

This year's siege is the same as last year, with a total of 12 teams, which means a total of 22 rounds. Then compared with Li Xiangping's contract amount, he can theoretically get a maximum bonus of 2.2 million. Even if the winning rate is only half, he is in the siege. The revenue of the first stage will also exceed one million ��

This has nearly doubled the highest income of domestic star chess players last year.

Because of this, when Comrade Lao Cai was going to announce the details of the contract to the outside world, the old man of Li Xiangping's family still had concerns. He thought it would be too high-profile, or would it attract any criticism. kind.

On this issue, Li Xiangping himself didn't care, and he even encouraged Lao Cai to publish the amount. And the reason why he did this, of course, was not for the limelight. In fact, he had so many champions last year, and he didn't need to use a armor to make the limelight.

The purpose of Li Xiangping doing this:

First: Overwhelm Li Shishi and slightly change the phenomenon of "unequal pay for equal work" between domestic players and foreign aid in the Weijia arena.

The phenomenon of "different pay for equal work" in the Weijia arena, it still existed when Li Xiangping passed through. This kind of situation is nothing in this day and age. After all, Korean Go is really good nowadays, and there are not many foreign aids, so in line with the principle of "scarce things are more expensive", their salary is justifiable.

However, in a few years, Chinese Go will become so powerful, especially the thickness of the middle layer. I don't know how much thicker it is than South Korean Go. At that time, it was still "unequal pay for equal work", which is obviously a bit unreasonable, and it seems Very unreasonable.

When Li Xiangping did this, his original intention was to change this phenomenon a little. A person seems to have nothing to do with the overall situation, but isn't there a saying: the power of example is infinite.

Li Xiangping believes that as long as he has his own "example" standing here, then under subtle influence, this situation can always be improved to some extent.

The second purpose of Li Xiangping's actions is actually related to "example". He wants to use such a high bonus to set up a new example and a new benchmark for the Go market.

To say that money is such a good thing. For example, old Nie's victory in the Sino-Japanese Go arena really made many people know and understand Go, which played an invaluable role in the promotion and popularization of Go.

But then again, Li Xiangping believes that the significance of Lao Nie's victory is actually more at the level of popularization. However, for professional Go, Lao Nie's victory may not be comparable to the holding of a "Ying's Cup". .

In 1988, the championship prize of the "Ying's Cup" was as high as 400,000 US dollars, so there is no need to hide it at all. Li Xiangping believes that if we conduct a questionnaire survey at this time, we will conduct a questionnaire survey on young professional chess players of the right age:

Are you influenced by Lao Nie or by the influence of $400,000 to embark on a professional Go path?

Li Xiangping believes that if everyone tells the truth, then the latter must be higher than the former.

And the meaning of Li Xiangping's "win a game of 100,000" is actually the same as 400,000 US dollars.

Even from a certain point of view, this may have more practical significance. After all, there is only one champion, and there are always a few who can win. But his "win a game of 100,000" is just a perimeter, which is more universal.

Others see, eh? How to make money playing Go, 100,000 in the next game? Although this is the number that the best chess player can earn, even if I am not as good as him in the end, the next game will only be one-third or even one-fourth of his. There are also hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is much higher than the income of most ordinary white-collar workers.

The above are the positive effects that Li Xiangping can think of. As for the negative effects, of course Li Xiangping also thought about it, but to be honest, Li Xiangping doesn't care about it at all.

The consequence of doing this is nothing more than attracting some gossip and envy. To be more specific, it is the gossip of the outside world and the jealousy of peers.

However, Li Xiangping analyzed it himself, and he believed that the situation in both aspects should not be too serious.

Let's talk about the gossip of the outside world first. It is undeniable that after “win a game of 100,000” spreads, it will definitely cause a little discussion in the society, and it will become a topic after dinner for some people. However:

"Hey, what is the 100,000-1000000000000000000000, even if he keeps winning all season, he will only be in the early 2 million that year, you may not know, this guy won 3 world championships last year, let me do the math, The prize money of these three world champions alone is more than 5 million. In addition, they also won a runner-up, and there are other competitions, so let me tell you, this number is really nothing to others, they just have so smart"

As we all know, in the eyes of most Chinese people, "winning the world championship" can be equated with "winning glory for the country", so the bonus obtained by winning the world championship will definitely not be criticized. Therefore, Li Xiangping believes that as long as there are remarks similar to the above, this "100,000 game" will not cause much criticism.

As for the jealousy of his peers, Li Xiangping believes that this is also not a problem.

Of course, this is not to say that Li Xiangping thinks about professional Go players well, but Li Xiangping asked himself:

If this happened not to me, but to Chang Hao or Gu Dali, what would Li Xiangping think:

"Well, this guy is awesome this time, but it doesn't matter, if I can reach his level or beat him, then I believe I will have that day too"

Li Xiangping has always believed that the so-called jealousy is only the idea of a mediocre person.

And the group of professional chess players, especially the group of top professional chess players, are not mediocre, so there is no need to worry about this.

Of course, this matter is not without its disadvantages, and the biggest disadvantage is that when the peers meet Li Xiangping in the game, they will be very enthusiastic and especially high-spirited.

Li Xiangping believes that this cannot be called "eye jealousy", but a very normal emotion.

It's a pity that before the first round, Li Xiangping didn't realize this, he was still joking with Gu Dali:

"Haha Gu, you shouldn't have forgotten. Last year, you were a bit ruthless in the second round of the armored armor. You slaughtered a dragon like me alive, so hurry up, come over today and die."
