Chapter 159: Introductory Go
In order not to cause a sensation, Li Cheng will not do it locally in Canada even if he wants to change hands, such as the last tray, Li Cheng also put it in Hong Kong for auction, which is also afraid of causing some trouble, Li Cheng understands that if these Westerners do not sign some agreements, a simple verbal gentleman's agreement will not play a role.
They don't think that face is more important than money, and when it comes to their own interests, they will abandon the so-called face and do something seemingly ridiculous, which is inconceivable in the eyes of the Easterners.
After returning to the ranch, Li Cheng did not carefully preserve this Yuan blue and white piece, but put it on the table of the Xuanmen at the door of the room, and used it to wear some miscellaneous items, such as keys and the like, which the guests could see when they entered the door.
This is called the Great Hidden City, and in many cases too close protection can be counterproductive, after all, it has suffered an almost devastating blow in history, and in the eyes of the layman, it is nothing more than a basin. The jar that has been cut off the upper part, and now the edge of the red copper hoop is larger than the bottom foot, so it has been reduced from a jar to a basin, but if you look carefully, you can also guess the appearance of the upper part, porcelain, a great invention of the Chinese, the texture is like jadeite, crisp and pleasant, but it is not a non-renewable natural resource, but made of inexhaustible simple clay, so it is integrated with the process of human civilization and is given its special significance.
A history of ceramics has written the rise and fall of all dynasties, this time only with a thousand Canadian dollars to get the Yuan blue and white, if Li Cheng is to listen to what others say, he will not believe it. But it really happened to me, it can be said that the world is impermanent, it should be yours, and you can't run away.
The most important thing is that Li Cheng's Longwei LV3 upgrade is just right, and it can be used through this authoritative identification method, so it can find the favorite baby at the minimum price, which can not only get rich returns, but also a kind of Li Cheng's amateur preference after work, which can cultivate inner sentiment.
Raphael, the painter, has been in the ranch for some time. During this period, he also created several good paintings. Before leaving, in order to thank Li Cheng again for his hospitality, he planned to spend a morning painting a portrait of Li Cheng. This is an oil painting that often hangs in the villas of many Western aristocratic villas. Therefore, it shows the grandeur of the owner's family.
Although Li Cheng didn't care so much about this aspect. Exquisite restrained, low-key way, but can not waste the kindness of the Italian painter, so dress neatly. I made a more western cowboy style dress, that is, which set of standard uniforms.
Brown cowboy hat, red cloak with gilt buttons, leather trousers, spur boots of precious metal, and a horsewhip in hand, standing with the red rabbit horse.
In order to appease the red rabbit horse and complete this portrait, Li Chengke put in a lot of effort, and took a basket of golden carrots to the little red rabbit horse, and then bought the red rabbit horse as his father.
Sure enough, after becoming a father, the red rabbit horse has become different, in the past, to please the red rabbit horse, simple temptation is not at all, but some strategies are needed, both soft and hard, slowly Tuzhi, since the arrival of the little red rabbit horse, as the owner of Li Cheng can intuitively feel the difference of the red rabbit horse.
A man and a horse stood in the background of the alpine forest and the endless grassland, like a plane model, with an action for a morning, Li Cheng was better, but the manic red rabbit horse almost left with his burden, fortunately, Li Cheng used a killer weapon, relying on the little red rabbit, finally completely appeased the red rabbit horse, and rested twice halfway, so that the muscles were not too tight.
After Raphael finished the painting, he said with great satisfaction: "Cheng, this is the best portrait oil painting I have ever painted, especially since your horse is such a wonderful horse, it matches you very well." ”
"Xie Lu Xie, Your Excellency Raphael, I will collect this painting of yours and the last "Ranch Style" well."
"That's what I should be thanking you, as an unfamous painter, only you appreciate my paintings, and now people are too materialistic and have lost many of the most precious things, such as art appreciation."
Raphael's picture of Li Cheng as a Bole look, frustrated for many years of Italian painter Raphael, has been looking for a breakthrough, from the travels, got a lot of inspiration, ran half the world, his ideal is to use his own hands to paint the world around the world, and then earn some travel expenses, in his lifetime, travel all over the world!
In fact, he did the same, and most places in the world can be found in his footprints and paintings, and when he is a hundred years old, it is estimated that the paintings will rise to a level that is in line with his artistic accomplishment.
"Your Excellency Raphael, you don't have to worry, I'm sure there are many people who appreciate your paintings as much as I do." Li Cheng also understands that artists are sensitive people, and they are also a group of people who are between neuropathy and genius, and are easily affected by emotional and subjective fluctuations, so Li Cheng's praise is very useful to Raphael.
As a result, Li Cheng harvested two Raphael works "Ranch Style" and "Cowboy and Horse".
In Li Cheng's appreciation of the oil painting of "Cowboy and Horse", he found that there were two Chinese old men in a corner with a Go table and a Go box, holding a cloud in their hands to play chess, according to the guidance of the oil painting, Li Cheng noticed that the two old people playing chess in the shade of the tree, about 60-70 years old, Li Cheng remembered, this is a few days ago to the grizzly bear ranch to travel to the members of the domestic elderly group, in addition to the rest of the members of the elderly group, there are also some white people who are also stopping to watch, it is estimated that they do not understand the appearance.
After all, chess is still a niche in the country, and it is mainly played chess, that is, the kind of sculpted bishops and knights. Therefore, it is still relatively unfamiliar with Go, although it belongs to the four major chess categories in the world, but Westerners do not know much about Go, and the popularity rate among the people is not high, and they do not understand what Chinese can play Go.
It's time-consuming, labor-intensive, and I can't understand the mystery, but it's not that Westerners don't like Go, it's that they don't really understand the doorway.
In fact, ordinary people in China do not often play Go, chess is still a more popular chess competitive game, mainly because of the time-consuming problem mentioned earlier, an hour down a game is relatively short, often a few hours, and larger events, will be divided into a few days a game of chess!
After a game of Go, the brain cells do not know how much they have died, and chess or chess, which is generally solved in 15 minutes, is in line with the fast-paced development trend of modern society, which is also the reason for the gradual decline of Go.
And this mysterious chess game from the East, so that tourists from many other countries stop to watch, it seems to be a more peculiar picture, Li Cheng is just a rookie of the rookie who is not even a beginner for Go, and only knows some basic rules, such as guessing the sunspot first, and the chess pieces will be removed without a breath.
What kind of layout, mid-game fighting, back-game ending, etc., that's a higher-level chess skill. Li Cheng walked over and saw the calm appearance of the two old men, the chessboard was dotted, the situation was unknown, Li Cheng, as a rookie who had not yet started, really couldn't see who had the advantage, it seemed that the places occupied by the white and black were almost the same, intertwined, regardless of each other.
However, Li Cheng is also a person who is good at learning, and listened to the members of the elderly group who came with the two old men next to him commenting: "Lao Zhu's chess strength is still relatively high, and his momentum is also very strong. ”
"Chess Master?" Li Cheng was shocked in his heart, there are only a handful of people who have the title of chess saint, this represents the person with the highest level of chess skills in the world at that time, this is the championship title of the chess holy war held by the Three Kingdoms, and it is higher than the existence of the professional nine-dan, that is, the top Go master! Lao Zhu, the chess saint who holds the white son, looks calm and unhurried, habitually holds a fan, and gently taps the table, and the old Mo who holds the black son opposite falls into a long exam, and after everyone feels bored, the onlookers disperse, leaving only the two members of the elderly group and Li Cheng who are watching.
Lao Mo then threw himself in the towel and said: "Lao Zhu, I have served, let the level of 5 sons, you win so easily, it really makes me ashamed, how to say that I am also an amateur 7 duan." ”
Zhu Youming smiled, he was not proud of the victory, it seemed that everything was taken for granted, and comforted Lao Modao: "Don't care about the result, first reflect on the mistakes made in this sentence, the key one is wrong, that is, the whole game is lost." ”
When the two directly explained the chess game, the two old men who were watching also participated, they were also amateurs, and their ranks were between the amateur 5th dan and the amateur 4th dan, which was not comparable with the two.
Amateur 7 dan is the strongest rank in the amateur Go world, while professional chess players, professional 9 dan is the strongest, amateur dan uses Arabic numerals, and professional uses Chinese character numbers, which is very particular.
In the explanation, Li Cheng benefited a lot as an observer, and faintly introduced Go, after all, this is a high-level competition, and it is also the chess game of Zhu Youming, who has the title of chess saint, listening to his explanation, it is better than studying in the Go Association for a month! It is easy to understand, and there are not too many professional terms, so that laymen can also understand the truth, which is the value of chess masters! Although Zhu Youming has closed the mountain, he occasionally plays chess with his friends, and has written many books about Go, which has benefited many juniors, and has also served as a national professional Go coach, which can be said to be rich in teaching Go.
