Go Legend Chapter 793

Chapter 793 Phoenix Ancient City - Jiangnan Famous Building Cup

After Li Xiangping walked into the competition office, Zhang Wendong handed him a list and said to him:

"Xiang Ping, although you relegated the United team last year, but this year, due to the participation of Japanese and Korean chess players, the organizers feel that this year should start with the first. You have no opinion on this."

Li Xiangping smiled: "No opinion, no opinion, Mr. Zhang will tell you, I have been mentally prepared for this since I heard that the Korean big and small Li was going to join last year."

"Ha ha."--

Of course, Li Xiangping really had this kind of mental preparation, because he knew very well that if he insisted on letting 2 pieces, some Chinese chess players might accept it.

Even if they are willing to accept it, with the twisted and perverted self-esteem of Koreans, the Korean chess institute and Korean chess fans will not agree to let them accept it.

Fortunately, Li Xiang downplayed the purpose of this game. Of course, he mainly wanted to fight dogs, not to humiliate other human players. In this case, he was actually ready to make concessions—

The focus now is to keep this competition going. After all, isn't it 7 years before the dog was born? So he felt that as long as he kept winning, he could always wait until the day when others were willing to accept the transfer.

Li Xiangping began to browse the list provided by Zhang Wendong's 9th paragraph.

This is a standard 10-man roster, so looking at this situation, this year's special juban should be one person one game, and there will be no one person playing two games like last year.

In this list, there are 5 Chinese chess players, namely Gu Dali, Kong Erjie, Chen Xiaoqiang, and Zhou Xiaoyang who have played last year.

As for the two "post-70s" chess players who played last year, Chang Hao and Luo Xihe have disappeared from the list this time, and replaced him with the calm brother Sheikh, who has been in excellent condition since last year and now ranks fourth in the country.

There are 3 Korean chess players, Da Li, Xiao Li and Cui Du.

The Japanese players are Zhang Xu and Iyama Yuta.

After reading the list, Li Xiangping nodded silently in his heart. This is indeed a pretty good lineup. It is not only very representative, but also basically reflects the highest level in today's chess world. Li Xiangping believes that if he can still win this year , even if the United team is not relegated like last year, this game can still be maintained.

And Zhang Wendong's 9th dan is also knowledgeable and knows the weight of this list, so he didn't dwell on the list for too long, but chatted with Li Xiangping about other matters related to this year's competition:

"Xiang Ping, this year's competition is incredible, and the level will be improved. The organizer has released a rhetoric, and the total budget will be directly turned over, from last year's 5 million to 10 million, but you have to be mentally prepared, the schedule may be It will be longer, and the competition may not be all held in Phoenix."

Li Xiangping looked at Zhang Wendong: "Oh?"

After listening to Zhang Jiuduan's next explanation, I realized that the sponsor and organizer of the "Phoenix Ancient City Cup" is of course the local tourism development company in Hunan Province-of course, such companies do not directly generate profits, so the total of this competition is. Bonuses and total expenses, they will of course go to other sponsors.

Since Li Xiangping participated in this competition since the previous year, it has indeed attracted more attention. It can be said that the popularity of Phoenix has been enhanced and the local tourism brand has been greatly improved.

But when the tourism development company saw this benefit, especially when Li Xiangping announced his withdrawal from regular competitions this year, the competitions he participated in have become a kind of "scarce resource" in a sense, which made the tourism development company My heart has also grown, and I am not satisfied with the management of Phoenix's one-third of the land, but want to promote this brand to the whole country—

Anyway, our country is so beautiful, there are countless tourist check-in places like Phoenix.

So the tourism development company came up with a solution. Some time ago, a promotion meeting was held within the domestic tourism system, and it was going to set up several sub-venues for this year's special tenth to see if there were other tourist attractions willing to undertake it. .

"Hehe, is anyone willing to take over?"

"Yes, it is said that there are quite a few, otherwise they would not have the confidence to directly flip the bonus."

Zhang Jiuduan continued to explain to Li Xiangping with a smile: "It's just that although everyone's attitude is very positive, many specific details have not yet been finalized. As far as I know, the biggest problem now is getting stuck on the title. According to what I get The news that the most positive attitude is actually Wuhan Yellow Crane Tower, but the Yellow Crane Tower has a big heart, they proposed to directly name the Yellow Crane Tower Cup, even if they bear more sponsorship costs, they will not hesitate. However, the Phoenix side is unwilling, so the specific contractors are still negotiating."

"Hahaha…"

Hearing this, Li Xiangping laughed happily. He didn't want to know more about more specific things.

The only thing he knows now is that since his game has become a "scarce resource" in the eyes of others, it is estimated that in the next few years, he should not worry too much about this game being interrupted--

Anyway, the ancient city of Phoenix is not the only tourist attraction in the country. Even if they give up, there should be others willing to take over.

Of course, Li Xiangping knows the premise of all this, that is, he must maintain a high level, so that the game can be kept in suspense. If he keeps losing until he gets the first score, the game is likely to disappear.

After and Zhang Wendong's nine-dan communication, Li Xiangping went to other departments of the chess institute to go around again, and then went straight home, waiting patiently for this game to come.

It was already late August, and since the competition was under the control of the domestic tourism department, Li Xiangping knew that he would not have to wait long—as long as he had a meal of tourism, no one would want to miss the Golden Week on November 1, so Li Xiangping is very sure that he will definitely not have to wait too long to get the definitive news of this game.

In fact, this is indeed the case. After 10 days, when all schools have started, Li Xiangping officially became a senior student, and this year's special tenth was finally implemented.

First of all, the ranking of the competition has changed, from the previous "Phoenix Ancient City Cup" to this year's "Phoenix Ancient City - Jiangnan Famous Building Cup".

In addition to the ancient city of Phoenix, which is still in control, 3 sub-fields will be added this year. The 3 sub-fields are also the three famous buildings in Jiangnan: Yellow Crane Tower, Yueyang Tower and Tengwang Pavilion.

Since the ancient city of Phoenix is still in control, they bear half of the cost and host 4 games, 2 games for the opening ceremony and 2 games for the closing ceremony, while the other 3 sub-venues bear 2 games respectively, so a total of 10 games Contest.

As for the opening ceremony, the time is basically the same as last year. The Phoenix side is scheduled for a few days before the Golden Week.

In Wanliu Academy in Haidian, when Li Xiangping received this message from Zhang Wendong Jiuduan, he laughed happily:

"Hahahaha, this time it's really, the old watch is linked."

Yaya couldn't understand, so she approached Li Xiangping and said, "What old watch is linked?"

Li Xiangping showed her the text message sent by Zhang Wendong, and then explained to her:

"Yaya, you know that my hometown is in Ganyuan, and Tengwang Pavilion is in Ganyuan, Yellow Crane Tower and Yueyang Tower are in Hubei and Hunan respectively, and Phoenix is also in Hunan. Hunan people call each other the old watch, and Ganyuan and Hubei sometimes call each other the old watch, so is this match considered an old watch?"

Yaya smiled: "Hee hee, old watch Li Xiangping, how long will you be going this time?"

"I didn't say it in the text message. I will ask the Chess Academy tomorrow, but Zhang Jiuduan reminded me last time that there will be 3 more sub-venues. Chang. Well, that's fine. I'm ashamed to say it. I haven't been back to my hometown to see my grandparents for several years. This time, depending on the situation, I have to go back to my hometown anyway."

"Hometown..."

Seeing Yaya a little distracted, Li Xiangping continued: "Why are you homesick, sister Yaya? Go back and have a look if you want. By the way, you are from Yili, right? I have seen your alcohol intake, so I don't know if you can ride a horse."

Seeing Yaya still looking absent-minded, Li Xiangping asked:

"Hey, what about you, can you ride a horse?"

Yaya shook her head and said, "No."

"Ah?" Li Xiangping was a little disappointed:

"I said you, a good minority girl, how could you not ride a horse."

Yaya smiled: "I lied to you, of course I can ride a generally docile horse, but that kind of restless fierce horse... For example, like Xiang Ping you, I always feel that I can't control it."

Li Xiangping was both angry and funny: "Damn it, who brought you down? Not only did he treat me like a horse, but he even thought about driving..."

"You are, you are not only a big pig's hoof, I think you also have the potential to be a stallion."

Li Xiangping was stunned when he heard this, and he sighed for a long time:

"Hey, Yaya, I didn't tell you, I told you a long time ago that you should read less online novels in the future. You said that you are still an 18th-tier star now, so why are you watching those messy things?"

Yaya ignored this, she came over and hugged Li Xiangping and said:

"Li Xiangping, since you mentioned your grandparents just now, don't forget what you promised me."

Li Xiangping nodded hastily and said:

"I don't forget, I will definitely take you back to my hometown after I graduate next year. It's not me that my dad is most afraid of my grandma. As long as my grandma likes you, it's useless for anyone to object."

"Then will your grandma like me?"

Li Xiangping rolled his eyes and said, "How do I know this, I'll see your performance then, but I remind you again that you really need to read less of those YY novels, especially those like Stallion Big Pig's Hoof, or even me I don't like it."

"Huh, it's not that you don't like it, you just don't want to be envious, jealous, right?"

Li Xiangping dare not take this stubble.

After another week, Li Xiangping went to the Chinese Chess Academy to attend the press conference of this year's "Phoenix Ancient City - Jiangnan Famous Building Cup".
