   Chapter 307 Peace of mind to earn money

   The day after the game, Li Xiangping returned to China with honor.

Well, this time it is really only "reputation". First, the aftermath of the domestic "SARS" has not dissipated, and secondly, Li Xiangping wins Li Shishi, which is expected by everyone. Most of the predictions before the game, even the Koreans My own predictions actually think that Li Xiangping has a bigger chance of winning, and Li Shishi has more bad luck than good luck.

Li Xiangping is now accomplishing something that everyone expected. In this case, honor is of course honor. After Li Xiangping came back, the major media carried out a new round of touts, but there was no more response. There are also no extra celebrations this time around.

Of course, Li Xiangping doesn't care about this. Starting this month, his schedule has suddenly become busy, so soon after he returned home, he discussed with Lao Shi about the 14 games remaining this year. " thing.

   "Hehe Ding'an brother, you see that you have lifted the ban now, so tell it yourself, do you have any thoughts on the remaining 14 rounds of this year?"

   "Hehe, it's okay, Ding'an doesn't have any special ideas, Xiaoyou Xiangping looks at the arrangement."

  Li Xiangping nodded and expressed satisfaction with Lao Shi's attitude. But satisfaction is satisfied, but he knows that he really can't just follow this, and he really "arranges it".

You must know that Li Xiangping was a **** in his previous life, and his family also had a not-so-small company, so he knew that if he wanted employees to work for him, he couldn't just let others do the work. It is also necessary to meet certain demands of people.

   It's okay, an "employee" like Lao Shi, of course, has no material demands, at most he only has a few spiritual demands.

   Then what is the "spiritual appeal" of Shi Daqisheng? Li Xiangping thought about it for a while: with the degree of sullenness of his plug-in, his biggest spiritual appeal is probably to be reunited with his embroidered piano girl.

   It's a pity that Li Xiangping couldn't satisfy this demand for the time being, so he could only ask for the next best thing:

"Brother Ding'an, I see it this way, there will be many competitions this month, don't worry about other competitions, the focus will be on the "Chunlan Cup" at the end of the month, and the next "Chunlan Cup" will be decided by Ding'an. How about Brother An to complete it?"

   "Hehe so good, there is no problem here in Ding'an. By the way, little friend Xiangping, the "Chunlan Cup" is now in the semi-finals, why don't you try to win the championship yourself?"

Li Xiang said, what else can I do? Of course, I want you to work harder for me. Regarding your spiritual appeal, I can only think of your girl embroidering the piano. In fact, there is only one. : That is, you have a huge chess addiction, and you are a real chess idiot.

If it is purely from the perspective of "playing chess addiction", then of course there is no more suitable game than the "Chunlan Cup". After all, as you said just now, this game has already reached the semi-finals, and the number of remaining games is not enough. more, so that other quotas can be arranged more flexibly.

   "Brother Ding'an, you know me. My biggest wish right now is to win a championship that is entirely my own, and the first two rounds of this "Chunlan Cup" are just that."

  Li Xiangping deliberately did not finish his words, but Lao Shi quickly agreed:

"Understand, understand, understand, cheer up, little friend Xiangping, I believe that with your talent, you will soon be able to win the championship that belongs to you completely. As for this "Chunlan Cup", little friend Xiangping, don't worry, It's all wrapped up in me."

   Li Xiangping was satisfied again, but this time he was not satisfied with Lao Shi's answer, because his reaction was completely expected by Li Xiangping.

Li Xiangping was satisfied with his speaking skills, because he always believed that as a so-called "superior", it was not as difficult as he imagined. Say your own demands.

   Then as long as your appeal is genuine and does not contradict the demands of the employees, you will definitely get a warm response most of the time.

  If there is no enthusiastic response in this situation, then it is not your problem, but the employee's problem. In this case, don't hesitate to open the employee directly.

   Well, Ren Shi Daqisheng is of course a good employee, so you see, people immediately responded enthusiastically.

   After finishing the arrangement of the "Chunlan Cup", Li Xiangping did not make a more specific allocation of other quotas.

   Actually, in Li Xiangping's heart, since he tried the power of "two swords" on the Internet, he has an urge to try it in the official competition. It's just that based on the principle of "good steel is used on the edge of the blade", of course he doesn't want to try this game casually, at least in the top 32 or 16 stages, he doesn't want to try this kind of game that is enough to beat a professional player to 2. Son's way.

   Besides, another possibility cannot be ruled out now. Just like in the previous game with Xiao Li, when did Lao Shi suddenly completely take over the game. Li Xiangping believes that with his current actual level, this situation is of course still possible. In this case, the quota of the remaining 14 rounds cannot be completely divided.

   In short, we need to set a general principle first. First, draw a small proportion to satisfy the old Shi's addiction to chess. As for the rest, of course, it will be flexibly mastered in the future.

   After discussing this matter properly, Li Xiangping started a new journey. In addition to the "Chunlan Cup" in the whole August, the next game is naturally the "Samsung Cup" and "LC Cup".

   To be honest, these two competitions are indeed the mainstays of modern Go. Even when Li Xiangping crossed the border, there were only these two professional Go competitions that were held once a year and could persist until then.

   So to tell the truth, although Li Xiangping has never looked down on sticks, but at this point, he must admit that this is a major contribution made by Koreans to Go.

   As for the rumors before Li Xiangping's time-travel, he believed that these two games might be suspended. Li Xiangping thinks that this kind of worry is unnecessary. There is no reason for this, because the sponsors of these two competitions are no trivial matter.

What Li Xiangping is saying here is not to say that these two companies are very good, but that these two companies have special identities. With the special chaebol economic system of the Koreans, these two companies are large state-owned enterprises in their country. Yeah, and it is even more special than those large state-owned enterprises in our country.

  You can think about it from another perspective. If our country has such a large state-owned enterprise sponsoring the Go game, for example, like the four major banks, PetroChina, Sinopec, etc., will it be suspended casually after it is done?

   Of course not. In China, such companies are not allowed to hold competitions, but once they are held, they will definitely not stop easily.

The situation of these two Korean companies is actually similar, just like in future generations, even if their share in the Chinese market has become smaller and smaller, especially "LG", it is almost impossible to get along in China, but for the sake of Face problem, they will stick to it anyway.

  The only reason why they stopped: that is that Korea has really changed, and even the top 3 chaebols can no longer hold on.

   Well, of course this possibility exists, but Li Xiangping believes that, at least in a short period of time, there is no need to worry about the Koreans, and he can earn this kind of money with confidence.

   Besides, I really can’t tell who this silver belongs to. The same goes for "LG". In about a year or two, they will build two buildings in the core BCD area of ​​the capital. In real history, the old man of Li Xiangping's family participated in the construction of these two buildings, so he I remember very clearly that the cost of these two buildings was only a few hundred million dollars. Even with the cost of acquiring land, it was worth about 400 million US dollars at the time.

   However, by the time Li Xiangping crossed, because "LG" was about to run out of business in China, they were going to sell these two buildings, and the bottom bid was already more than 10 billion yuan.

   It is no longer possible to sell products. Two buildings make so much money?

   So it is completely conceivable that Li Xiangping relied on playing chess to earn this amount of money, so how confident and confident he is.

   Well, this opportunity to earn money with peace of mind is coming soon. On August 9th, just one week after Li Xiangping returned to China, the 7th "LG Cup" officially kicked off, and the opening ceremony was not elsewhere. The organizer just chose to be in Beijing.

As the defending champion, Li Xiangping is of course eligible for exemption, but because there are 32 chess players in this competition, in this kind of competition, there is no such thing as a "seed player". The first round starts.

This time, there were two rounds in Beijing. In the top 32 battle on August 10, Li Xiangping encountered a young Korean chess player named Anda Hun. The kind that has not been achieved, and now he is still very young, he looks only two or three years older than Li Xiangping.

   There is no suspense. After Li Xiangping practiced a "demon sword variation" for him, he was no longer able to do so. In less than 200 moves, Li Xiangping easily won.

   In the round of 16 on August 12, Li Xiangping still faced a Korean chess player, and today he was replaced by Jin Chengjun 7dan.

This chess player still has a certain reputation these days, because the Weijia he joined has represented the Wuhan team for several years. As for his strength, um, he should be similar to Cui Mingxun's 9 dan, and he belongs to the Korean chess world for a few years. The former "Four Little Kings".

  Jin Chengjun speaks Chinese well in the seventh dan, and is said to have an excellent drink capacity, but this has nothing to do with the game. In this game, he and Li Xiangping fought kung fu.

  This is obviously not what Korean players are good at, and it can be seen from his choice that he is actually a bit "changed" today.

   Therefore, there is still not much suspense. In the early 5 o'clock in the afternoon, with more than 230 hands in the overall situation, Li Xiangping held a black one and a half eyes and won a small victory.

  Li Xiangping once again entered the quarterfinals of the World Series.

   However, it is clear that the current quarter-finals are completely unable to satisfy Li Xiangping's appetite. After participating in two rounds of armor in mid-August, Li Xiangping is ready to go abroad again, this time to South Korea to participate in this year's "Samsung Cup".
