Li Cai saw his father's constipated expression, looked at himself, and seemed to be unhappy if he didn't give him an explanation.

Seeing Dad Li's appearance like this, Li Cai felt that if he made an emoji, it would definitely become popular.

As a competitive sport, Go has a limited impact and is only active in China, Japan and South Korea.

Although Go is easy to get started, it takes a lot of time to become proficient.

In addition, many people find it monotonous and boring, and they can't understand the deep meaning of chess, so they will naturally ignore their interests and not pay attention to it.

And Li Cai felt that if he wanted to change this situation.

First of all, we need to improve the pattern a lot.

Compared with the tens of millions of prizes in football and tennis, the prize money in Go competitions is only a pitiful hundreds of thousands, or even millions.

At present, the Ying's Cup, which has the highest prize money in Go, is only 400,000 US dollars, and it is good for a chess player to win a third of the prize money after winning the championship.

And unlike other sports, there are almost no advertisements for Go players.

In Li Cai's view, if you want to improve the status of Go players, you must increase the prize money of Go competitions.

16 years later, the appearance of Alpha Dog has caused Go to receive a lot of attention, and it is all about discussing this matter.

It also increased the prize money of the game, and the after-tax bonus that the little spy Ke Jie got was as much as two million, which is also the more attention that Go has received, so there will be such a high bonus.

Seeing that Li Cai was still in a daze, Li's father could only put down the water cup heavily and remind his son that he was angry.

Hearing the bang, Li Cai came to his senses.

Seeing Li's father's unhappy expression, Li Cai hurriedly flickered: "I think so, the prize money of the current Go competition is not high, the champion is at most one or two million, and the money that the chess player gets may only be about a few hundred thousand, so I want to hold a super large Go competition." ”

Li Cai paused, and then said: "First, it can show the strength of our group, and second, it can expand the influence and popularity of the group." ”

Dad Li listened, pondered for a while, and still felt that the prize money in the game was too much, so he said to his son: "The prize scale doesn't need to be so high, isn't 10 million the Go competition with the biggest prize money, you don't need to get 50 million." ”

Li Cai smiled and said what he thought about this competition.

"In this Go competition, only those who have won the championship of the international competition are eligible to participate in the competition, that is, they are eligible to win the championship of the six major international competitions of Go, and the prize money of the game is only available to the champion, that is, 50 million is all to the champion, and no one else has it, not even the game fee, just their room and board expenses. ”

Dad Li listened to it, and immediately felt that this would make this game receive widespread attention, firstly, the prize money is high, and secondly, it is different from the traditional Go competition, although the champion takes the lion's share, but other chess players also have bonuses, unlike this time, only the champion can get the bonus, and the rest are not.

After thinking about it for a long time, Dad Li still couldn't make up his mind whether it was worth spending this money for the popularity of the group.

Seeing that Li's father was still hesitating, Li Cai took out his killer trick and said: "Actually, the money spent on this competition only includes the travel expenses and accommodation expenses of the participating chess players, because your son and I will not lose." In this way, the bonus will not come back, and it can improve the popularity of the group, and it only needs to spend hundreds of thousands, or even tens of thousands. ”

Dad Li listened and nodded, he still knows a lot about his son's Go strength, although he hasn't participated in the competition for two years and went to play tennis, he will practice Go every day and find other professional chess players to play chess on the Internet.

Therefore, there should be no problem, if you only need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, you can improve the influence and popularity of the group, and Dad Li is naturally very willing.

So, Li's father said to Li Cai: "If you can guarantee to win the championship, I will promise you." ”

Li Cai said: "I don't know the chess players who will appear in the future, but in the current Go world, I naturally dare to pack a ticket and win the championship, and the final is ten games, even if I lose one or two games, it doesn't matter." ”

After hearing this, Li's father agreed to this matter and promised to sponsor the competition, and let Li Cai take care of the rest, and he was only responsible for paying for it.

Seeing that he had persuaded Dad Li, Li was overjoyed and said to Dad Li, "Thank you, Dad." ”

Then I went upstairs to write the game plan and got busy.

Dad Li saw his son go up with a smoke, and hurriedly said, "It's time to eat, let's get it later." ”

Soon, Li Cai settled dinner and went upstairs.

Seeing Li Cai hurriedly go upstairs, Li's father sighed that his son hadn't been so energetic for a long time, and he couldn't help but want to go to when Li Cai first started learning chess.

Time is in a hurry, seven years have passed, and Dad Li feels that the most correct thing he has done in his life is to send Li Cai to Beijing to learn chess, which has also turned the family's life upside down.

Li Cai retired from the game and did not participate in the Go competition, although the most important thing was that there was no opponent and felt that there was no challenge, but there was another factor, that is, he was dissatisfied with the style of the Chess Association, and various reasons led to Li Cai's absence from participating in the Go competition.

Two years later, Li Cai was also eager to play against others in international competitions and feel the charm of black and white in Go.

Therefore, Li Cai decided to ask Li's father to sponsor this Go competition, firstly, to let more people pay attention to Go, secondly, to improve his Go level, so that the Go ability value can reach 99 or even 100, and thirdly, to earn 100 million a year and win the championship, he will solve half of the task, and the remaining 50 million will be very easy.

Although there are the first two reasons, the main reason for Li Cai is to fool Li's father to sponsor it for the bonus.

Li Cai set the time of the final on the 28th day of the second month of the lunar calendar, which lasted for half a month, and the most important thing is that there was no tennis tournament during that time, and it was also Li Cai's birthday.

The qualification is 10 years, won the world championship of the Go player, because the Ying Cup and Chunlan Cup, one is four years, the other is two years, so the annual world series is only the Samsung Cup, Fujitsu Cup, LG Cup and Asian Cup, if it is four people, first two by two three rounds, and then five rounds, and finally the winner can challenge Li Cai, ten rounds, the winner gets 50 million in prize money.

After writing the competition plan, it was only the next day that Li went to his teacher Nie Whirlwind and told him about it.

Nie Whirlwind was in the dojo, and was about to see what good Go seedlings there were, when he saw Li Cai rushing in with a gust of wind, and hurriedly said, "Teacher, there is something I want you to help with." ”
