Chapter 157: Everything is expected
In Beijing, in the Wancai Hotel built by Wancai Group, the two contestants of the Hope Cup, Park Wenyao and Lee Sedol, both live in the rooms on the twelfth floor of the hotel.
Lee Sedol is closing his eyes and recuperating, recuperating and preparing for tomorrow's five-game showdown with Park Wenyao.
"Bang"
The door of the hotel room was pushed open and slammed against the wall, making a loud noise, and a middle-aged man who looked like Lee Sedol rushed in, as if something big had happened.
Lee Sedol opened his eyes and looked at his brother Lee Sang-hoon dissatisfied, feeling that he was too noisy and disturbed his rest.
"Shishi, no, I hope the rules of the cup have changed. ”
Lee Sang-hoon didn't care about Lee Sedol's dissatisfied eyes, and when he came in, he said out loud the news he had gotten.
Lee Sedol was stunned for a moment when he heard his brother Lee Sang-hoon say that he wanted the Cup to change the rules, and then immediately said: "Why, they think that Lee Cai thinks he will lose, and they want to lose the 50 million bonus." It's time to say it!"
Lee Sedol and Park Wenyao's game has not yet been compared, Lee Sedol has already aimed at Li Cai, who is defending, and does not take Park Wenyao in his eyes at all, feeling that Park Wenyao can't stop him at all, and he can easily win and advance to the final challenge.
After taking a few breaths and taking a big sip of water, Lee Sang-hoon began to speak slowly, regardless of how Lee Sedol urged him.
"The 50 million prize has not changed, but other rewards have been given to the Chinese chess players, Park Wenyao didn't advance to win Yuan Shengqin, the sponsor gave him 1 million as a reward, saying that it was a bonus for defeating the Korean chess player, and it also said that if you win and advance to the finals, there will be 3 million, and in the next competition, only the Chinese chess player has qualified for the competition, and there will be 500,000 rewards. ”
Lee Sedol listened to it, and there were 3 million for advancing to the finals, and about 500 million won when converted into South Korea, which is a lot of money, which is more than Lee Sedol's income in the past few years.
It's a pity that Lee Sedol, an anxious person, didn't hear it clearly at all, it was only a Chinese chess player, and after hearing the news, everyone laughed out loud and said arrogantly.
"This rule has been changed well, it's not easy to win Park Wenyao, brother, see if I win back the three million when the time comes." ”
Looking at his elated younger brother, he didn't hear what he said at all, and Lee Sang-hoon was also used to the unobtrusive personality of his elder brother Lee Sedol, so he could only sigh and explain again: "It's only Huaguo chess players, only Park Wenyao wins to have these three million, you don't have it." ”
After listening to the repeated explanation of his brother Lee Sang-hoon, Lee Sedol asked half-understandingly, "What do you mean?"
Lee Sang-hoon said directly: "It's that Korean chess players have no money, and only after winning Li Cai can they get 50 million, otherwise they won't have any money." ”
When Lee Sedol heard this, he immediately exploded and felt that it was unfair, thinking that this was discriminating against their Korean chess players.
"What, why don't you give us money to Korean chess players, you just can't afford to lose, I won't participate in the competition, you go and tell them, if you don't treat them fairly, I'm going to boycott the game and not participate in the competition." ”
For his younger brother Lee Sedol's vexatious trouble, Lee Sang-hoon has seen a lot, from childhood to adulthood, Lee Sedol is such a character, he doesn't go to the game if he doesn't agree, and he gets into a lot of trouble, in the 09 LG Cup finals, Lee Sedol wants to boycott the game because of dissatisfaction with the schedule and the venue, and finally takes a taxi to the field overnight under his own "coercion", of course, this has also become the best excuse for Lee Sedol's poor state of the game and finally suffered a clean sheet by Gu Dali. This is still an attempted strike, Lee Sedol has also boycotted a few times, 03 Nongshim Cup sponsors will Lee Chang Ho made a decision to participate in the Nongshim Cup to exempt chess players, Lee Sedol will boycott, not go, in Lee Sedol's view, why Lee Chang Ho got this right of recall, do you think that I Lee Sedol is not as good as Lee Chang Ho, as a result, ignore him, in 03 Lee Chang Ho has not gone downhill, strength is at the peak, naturally stronger than Lee Sedol, but the results in international competitions are not as good as him Lee Sedol, in South Korea, Lee Chang Ho has a lot more titles than Lee Sedol。
As a result, the organizers of the Nongshim Cup in the second year still gave Lee Chang-ho the right to vote, and now Lee Sedol didn't say anything, he still went to the competition, and competed for places through the competition, and he didn't let go of a single.
Of course, he also paid a lot of price for this, in 08 years, because of schedule conflicts, Lee Sedol simply gave up South Korea's domestic price intelligence cup group stage against Hong Xingzhi six section of the game, rushed to China to participate in the Weijia League, and then suffered the ban of the Korean Chess Academy, if it weren't for Li Cai's later not participating in the game, and South Korea's top chess players are old, only he is left, it is estimated that the ban will not be lifted.
This is also the reason why Lee Sang-hoon came with him when Lee Sedol was competing, that is, to be careful of his younger brother, who only had a primary school education, if something unpleasant happened, he would not go to the game and offend a large number of people by boycotting the game.
In Lee Sang-hoon's view, the Wancai Group is also very good, the package fee for food and accommodation, although only those who win the final game will have a bonus, no game fee, but there is no game fee in South Korea's domestic game for a long time, and you have to participate in the game at your own expense, of course, it is not cost-effective, and the "Hope Cup" game only wins once, don't be careful about the next life, the draw is half, it can be said to be excellent, why boycott, after the boycott, to win the 50 million prize money is not there is no hope at all, why bother?
Moreover, Lee Sang-hoon believes that this is originally sponsored by Huaguo's enterprises, and it doesn't matter if they give Huaguo chess players some bonus measures! Why do you bother so much.
So, Lee Sang-hoon began to unravel his younger brother Lee Sedol, who had a low IQ.
"Brother, you have to know that this competition was originally sponsored by Chinese enterprises, and it is normal to give them some rewards for Chinese chess players, you have worked hard to play until now, do you want to give up halfway, and then you will not have a chance to win 50 million prizes, you have to think clearly, it is 50 million, and there are 9 billion won!"
Hearing the words of his brother Lee Sang-hoon, Lee Sedol was still very unhappy, and said noisily: "This is unfair, they are empty-hearted, they think that our Korean chess players are too good, and they will win all the prize money of the game, and they are afraid of all the Korean chess players who don't give us them." ”
Lee Sedol was noisy, but after listening to his brother Lee Sang-hoon and the 50 million bonus, he didn't mention the word retirement and didn't go to the competition.
In another room in the hotel, Park Wenyao was very happy after learning that the rules of the Hope Cup competition had been changed and that he had a million rewards, and hurriedly called his mother to tell him.
"Mom, I won another million in the Hope Cup competition, and after winning the next match with Lee Sedol, I have another three million, and I even have a chance to win the final prize of 50 million,"
Park Wenyao's mother was very happy to hear this, but she still said to Park Wenyao: "Son, don't put too much pressure on yourself, just do your best,"
Park Wenyao listened to it and secretly made up his mind that he must win Lee Sedol, at least three million, so that his mother can rest at home without working hard.
.......
On the second day, the final round of the "Hope Cup" Go Tournament began with a five-game showdown between Lee Sedol and Park Wenyao.
Originally, Nie Whirlwind was also worried that Li Sedol would withdraw from the competition and not participate in the competition after changing the rules, after all, Li Sedol was a person with a "criminal record", but he didn't expect that Li Sedol did not withdraw from the competition, but still participated in the competition, just as his apprentice Li Cai expected.
