Go: Is the portable old man the nine-time champion?

Chapter 229 The Invitation of the Chinese Weiqi League

"Hello, uh, no, no, I don't plan to switch teams for now. Okay, okay, goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Yi Zheng sighed helplessly. He had been receiving too many calls lately, all inquiring whether he wanted to transfer teams.

"This is the third one we've had for dinner tonight, isn't it? Ah Zheng, you're really in high demand."

Miao Jun looked at Yi Zheng, who had just hung up another phone call, and couldn't help but shake his chubby face. He himself hadn't been answering the phone this frequently back then.

The latest Division A and Division B leagues are about to begin, and we are almost in the registration phase. All teams must submit their personnel information, and once it is officially submitted and confirmed, it cannot be changed.

Simply put, we've entered a period of frequent transfers.

Many teams are poaching players, especially skilled players, who have become highly sought-after by many teams.

Yi Zheng is a prime example. Many teams in the second division of the Go league are now trying to recruit him, since his current strength is enough to lead his team to compete for the championship in the second division.

So many teams have already started digging with shovels.

Not to mention that Yi Zheng also defeated Ethan, who is ranked fifth in the world, and a bunch of teams immediately abandoned all restraint and started frantically calling Yi Zheng.

As for where the phone number comes from? Anyone in the industry with connections could easily get someone's phone number.

However, Yi Zheng clearly had no interest in these people. Although the team only had one year of contracts, if it was the second division league, there was obviously no need to continue playing.

"But they're all second division leagues, right? Zheng, your skills should be good enough to play in the first division league, so haven't any first division teams contacted you?"

Miao Jun started subtly probing, since he had already considered poaching Yi Zheng to be his teammate after hearing Qi Ling's words.

Not only Miao Jun, but many of the people sitting at this table also had the same idea.

After all, the stronger the team, the better the results, and the better the results, the more money they can earn.

Yi Zheng shook his head upon hearing this: "A team contacted me before, but the money they offered was far too little, and they wanted to sign a contract for several years with no salary increase. It felt like a predatory contract, as if they were taking advantage of my lack of knowledge about the market."

Yi Zheng couldn't help but shake his head, feeling that this team seemed to be deliberately using unfair contracts to deceive people, and he wondered who would fall for it.

They also demanded that we play a certain number of games, paid little for each game, and even stipulated that our salaries could not be increased for a certain number of years.

To put it bluntly, who would sign such a contract? It's not like I'm a chef apprentice who has to work for free for two years.

Yi Zheng is now a national champion-level chess player, and a young star player at that, not really an amateur.

If a top-tier team had offered Yi Zheng this contract when he first achieved professional status, he might have considered it.

If you weren't there when the cultivation was in place, and you still want to reap the rewards regardless of whether they're there or not, what kind of good thing is that in the world?

"You can consider our team. I'm currently with the King Abdullah team in Saudi Arabia, and the benefits are quite good."

Upon hearing this, Miao Jun did not hesitate and immediately began to introduce his team, stating how good his team was now and what his goals were for this season.

Upon hearing Miao Jun speak, Qi Ling and Xu Duoduo immediately dropped their pretense and began talking about their teams, stating that if Yi Zheng came, they would definitely communicate with the boss to find a way to improve his treatment, ensuring it wouldn't be lower than theirs.

Although the World Go League is the highest level league, the quality of the teams varies considerably.

Some strong teams have all four of their main players as world-class players, making them veritable "galactic battleships." However, most strong teams are already quite good if they have two world-class players; having two players is enough to qualify them as a strong team.

Most teams are composed of mid-level players, and some teams even have weak players who drag them down.

Top-tier teams rarely change their players easily because their teams are already at full capacity. However, the remaining teams still have a significant need for players of Yi Zheng's caliber.

In particular, Yi Zheng is still in a period of rapid development, and his strength will likely continue to rise steadily. Perhaps in another year, he will be able to play as a main general.

Not only can it be considered a stable source of output now, but it may also achieve even greater results in the future, making it a highly sought-after asset.

Yi Zheng was also surprised to suddenly receive so many offers from top-tier teams, feeling overwhelmed by the choices.

"That's great, you get this kind of treatment after just one year. I had to work for a long time before I got this kind of treatment back then."

Even standing to the side, Coach Ke couldn't help but marvel at Yi Zheng's rapid progress. Yi Zheng's current strength would definitely be enough for him to secure a regular starting position in the top division of his world.

"It was too fast, so fast that I don't think I could react in time."

Old Ke couldn't help but shake his head. If he counted, he had been awake in this world for more than two years. Time really flies.

When asked about the invitations from his friends, Yi Zheng replied, "I'll take a look later."

Miao Jun was quite understanding: "It's okay, I've already given your phone number to our team leader. He'll contact you later, and you can compare the offers."

Let's eat first, everyone. We've been eating hot pot for ages and I've barely touched it!

But as soon as Miao Jun finished speaking, his gaze fell on Shen Guhong, who was sitting silently to the side.

Old Chen's silence tonight is a bit unusual. How could he not help their team get Yi Zheng?
Although it may seem like Shen Guhong doesn't get along with Yi Zheng, in reality, Shen Guhong is definitely the person who cares about Yi Zheng the most, without exception.

If Shen Guhong weren't from Sichuan or Chongqing, Miao Jun would have suspected that he was...

After all, prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain in Sichuan, which no matter how hard the people of Sichuan and Chongqing try, they can never move.

Shen Guhong also felt Miao Jun's gaze beside him, but he didn't say anything, he just took a sip of orange juice with pulp.

I don't need to say anything; I'm just waiting for a phone call.

"Hi~"

Yi Zheng heard his phone ring again. He was about to hang up, since he already had an invitation from a top-tier league team, so he didn't need to consider the second-tier league anymore.

However, the contact person for the phone number above is...

"Senior Brother Yun?"

Upon hearing the name, Miao Jun's eyes widened instantly. He remembered! He remembered everything!
Shen Guhong's team captain is Yun Linglei!

This is a raid!
