After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

Chapter 149 148. The Clown is Me

"Damn it, I have to fight to the death to win the championship this time! I don't think I've ever won a championship in my life, I have to cherish this one and only chance in my life!"

"Don't say any more. I'm telling you, right after I get back, I only sleep three hours a day, and the rest of the time is spent on playing chess.

Apart from necessary time such as eating and sleeping, I devote all my time to Go!

There is beauty in chess! There is a golden house in chess! I wish I could take out the chessboard and play a game with you right now."

"Progress is something that is achieved gradually. Don't be too anxious. It's better to go to bed early every day. Only by adjusting your plan well can you make better progress."

"Old Wang, I'm afraid you are trying to trick us into taking a rest so that you can practice chess secretly! You are a little naive to try to trick us!"

"How could you think of me like that! I definitely don't intend to win the championship, I'll be satisfied with the top four."

"Don't dream. I will beat you back in the first round. You, a third-dan player, still want to make it to the semifinals."

Listening to the discussion at the large round table next to him during dinner, Fang Yuan, who was sitting alone at the chair, could not help but nod with satisfaction.

The other people sitting in the main seats had something else to do and hadn't come over yet, so I was just sitting here waiting for them.

That’s right, this is the fiercely competitive professional atmosphere of Chinese Go.

Everyone is working hard to achieve good results, to win the championship, and for the bright future of Chinese Go.

It was worth it that I stayed up for two nights to write the speech, and my passionate speech really aroused everyone's enthusiasm.

As expected, I am a male lecturer who is well versed in human nature. In less than 30 minutes of speech, I have fully mobilized everyone's enthusiasm.

Is it a waste of talent to play Go? Should I switch to something else? Become a great teacher?
"Honestly, I never dreamed that there would be a competition with such a large prize money. It's unimaginable."

"Is this a lot? The prize money for the title match in Japan is considered small, but it's still 5 million yen. Not counting the black market, the official exchange rate alone can reach more than 300,000.

Have you ever seen so much money in your life? I don’t think I will ever make so much money in my life.”

"What is the average income over there? If we go to school normally and have a stable job, even with various subsidies, can it exceed 100 yuan a month?

Over there, if two people go out to eat and eat a little more, they can spend a month’s salary.”

"My uncle is a primary school teacher in the capital. He can't get the money you're talking about anyway."

"If I can win the championship, I will immediately buy a house in the capital, a refrigerator, a big color TV, a bicycle, and everything else! I will tell my wife that everything she dreamed of when she got married will be available now!"

Fang Yuan felt very happy at first, but as he listened, he felt something was wrong.

How come the talk turned to money?
You know, the prize money for the New Sports Cup was only 80 yuan, which is actually not a small amount nowadays, and is equivalent to one or two months' salary for most people in the city.

But it is definitely not worthy of the things these people fantasize about.

Three turns and one ring?
You have to know that now the four major items together, even if they are the worst, will cost at least 600 yuan.

How could the prize money for the New Sports Cup be enough? The prize money for my three championships combined was not enough.

Are these people really capable of fantasy?

"Wait a minute, what are you talking about prize money? Isn't the date for this year's Lan Ke Cup still not decided?"

Fang Yuan couldn't help but walk over and ask, in China, Zhan Lang was the only one that held two competitions worth more than 600 yuan.

Although the second session is confirmed this year, the date has not yet been decided. What can we discuss now?
Could it be that Japan is going to hold some new competition that people like us can participate in?

After all, the economic gap between the two sides is that any little bit of the Japanese Go Institute's gifts is enough to fill one's mouth with oil. Just like when Fang Yuan won the World Amateur Championship last time, after deducting taxes and commissions, he still had nearly 5,000 yuan, which can be said to be a huge sum of money.

But theoretically speaking, it's impossible for me not to know what news is coming from Japan.

"Old Fang, you don't know?"

Looking at Fang Yuan who moved a chair over to talk to him, Jiang Chenglin, 6th Duan, asked in a somewhat curious tone.

After all, apart from big brother Chen Long, Fang Yuan is currently the biggest in the entire Go world, and he also does some administrative work part-time. How could he not know this?

Could it be that during his speech just now, Zhan Lang suddenly had the idea of ​​holding a title battle?

I suggest that we have more of this idea and hold two more.

Fang Yuan was puzzled when he heard this: "What do I know?"

But theoretically speaking, I should be the first, or at least the second, to know any news in the Go world, right?

No one else should know what you don't know.

"China is going to hold a title fight soon."

"How is that possible? How could I not know about this? Where did you hear this gossip?"

Fang Yuan was immediately happy when he heard this. What title battle? Now there are two national competitions and one rookie king competition. You can just be happy.

I don’t know how many bosses I have contacted, but few of them are willing to sponsor the competition.

If you want to hold a title match, the prize money should be at least a few hundred yuan, right? It should even be a little higher, otherwise it would not be good if it could not surpass the national competition of Lan Ke Cup.

The champion prize of one thousand yuan plus the prize money of other levels, as well as some expenses for hosting the competition, means that a competition costs tens of thousands of yuan.

Where can I find such a boss who is willing to sacrifice himself for others?

Now all the factories are having trouble making ends meet and are considering selling their products.

And if such a big thing really happened, Brother Chen would definitely come to discuss it with me. How could it be possible that everyone else knew about it and I didn't?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
It must have been a rumor that came from somewhere, and a group of people believed it to be true.

“We heard it with our own ears.”

"Yes, we all heard it."

"Who did you listen to?"

Fang Yuan heard this and said confidently: "I don't know. Without me knowing, China can't hold a title fight at all."

"What Zhan Lang and Mr. Chen said has been decided. The first prize is 10,000 yuan."

Hearing this, Fang Yuan fell silent: "So the reason you're so excited isn't because of the speech I just gave on the stage?"

After all this time, you’re excited not because of what I said, but because of this ten thousand dollars!

When Lao Jiang heard this, he immediately laughed: "It's so funny, no one listened to you just now."

Compared to the 10,000 yuan prize money for winning the championship, who would listen to you?
When Fang Yuan heard this, he suddenly felt something red floating above his nose, and it seemed like there was a man in black in the distance waving at him, telling him to go home.

I'm the clown myself?
