"Okay Xiangping, don't study it now, we're going to draw lots soon, and we'll have to catch a plane after the lottery."

"Okay."

At this time, Li Xiangping had time to care about the results of other games, and after some inquiry, the Chinese chess players had a mediocre record in this round, and 5 chess players played in this round, but in addition to him, only Zhou Heyang won the victory.

In this way, after all the group stage is over, only 5 of the 9 Chinese players who participated in the competition entered the round of 16. And among the 5 Chinese chess players, 3 are the "little dragons" of the post-70s, Yu Bin is the post-60s chess players, the "little tigers" of the post-80s and the "little leopards" a little later, their growth rate is definitely slower than everyone imagined.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Li Xiangping, and he doesn't care about this.

Take his opponent today, Gu Dali, for example, in real history, he was still the "ancient round" at this time, but when he won his first world championship two years later, he immediately entered the heyday of his career, and reached his peak in '07.

The Go world often uses "boiling water" to describe the growth of chess players, and the current Gu Dali is like a pot of boiling water that has been boiled to 99 degrees and has begun to bubble, but it has not really boiled yet.

Of course, ordinary people can't see such a little difference, because whether it is 99 ° or 100 °, ordinary people are burned when they touch it. However, when you put this gap in the world of professional Go, it is different.

Professional Go seems to have this ability, can distinguish 99 ° and 100 ° very clearly, there are many people who spend their lives, at most can only reach 99 °, before it really boils, people have begun to slowly cool down.

There are many such examples, such as Zhou Heyang Wang Lei of "Little Dragon Generation", as well as "Brother Niu", "Brother Calming", "Chinese Hero" and others of "Little Tiger Generation", these are all vivid examples of only burning to 99 degrees.

“...... By the way, if Gu Dali calculates 99 degrees, then how many degrees do I calculate now? Well, with the special situation of my Li Datian, it seems that it can't be measured by ordinary standards, with Lao Shi's plug-in bonus, then my boiling point should also be set at 150°, right? Otherwise, why would you fight dogs in the future, then the question now arises, which liquid has a boiling point of about 150°......"

It was with such cranky thoughts that Li Xiangping participated in the next round of 16 draw.

Yuan Shengqin!

Li Xiangping's opponent in the round of 16 is South Korean chess player Won Sung-kyun.

This is also one of the "Gang of Three" of Korean Go, in real history, he has only won the world championship once, but his championship is also full of weight.

Because he defeated Gu Dali in a trilogy to win the championship, and before that, Gu Dali won 7 finals 7 times, and the winning rate in the finals of the World Series was 100% at that time, so from this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to say that this old man ended Gu Dali's heyday.

It's just that Li Xiangping still didn't take this matter to heart, what are you kidding, he just took a step out of the "humanoid dog move", how can a mere "yuan fist" be put in his heart, not to mention that the opponent's "iron fist" is not a big success now, when he won the championship in real history, it was already 5 years later, so at this time..... Li Xiangping thinks that this signing is actually quite good.

After the lottery ended, Li Xiangping immediately followed the army and set off to return to China. At the end of this trip to South Korea, the time also came to late August, and by this time, Li Xiangping also felt a little more relaxed-----

Although in the future, it will be the semi-finals of the "Chunlan Cup", but he has already said goodbye to himself, right? The next "Chunlan Cup", then all the responsibilities will be handed over to Lao Shi, so that he can have a good chess addiction.

To tell the truth, Lao Shi has not participated in an official competition for nearly half a year, so at this time, even Li Xiangping is looking forward to it, he wants to see how his plug-in can perform after such a long time.

There is still about a week left in the semi-finals of the "Chunlan Cup", so he is the first to return to the capital this time, and it is about to enter September, and by this time, the shadow of "SARS" hanging over the whole country is finally about to dissipate.

When Li Xiangping returned home, he found that his old man was actually at home, and he was with Zhao Daokai's father, Zhao Jiadong, and the two were drinking and bragging, chatting happily.

"Hello Uncle Zhao."

After greeting Zhao Jiadong first, Li Xiangping paid attention to the expression of his old man, and after reading it, he felt strange in his heart, and said that at this time, shouldn't Li Da Tuhao be in a hurry, how can he still be in the mood to brag and fart here? And looking at his appearance, it was really very relaxed, not at all like he had something on his mind, let alone a crisis.

Li Xiangping couldn't help but ask: "By the way, Dad, why did you go back to your hometown some time ago, is there nothing wrong?" ”

Li Datuhao glanced at Li Xiangping strangely: "It's nothing, it's all right." ”

"Are you really okay?"

Li Xiangping asked in an accentuated tone. You can't blame him for worrying in his heart, let's say that at this time, if Li Da Tuhao is really sad and at a loss, then Li Xiangping is not worried, after all, that crisis will eventually pass, right? And after the crisis ended, Li Yuanhu began to become bigger and stronger, from an ordinary small tyrant to a real tyrant.

But now, all this is different from Li Xiangping's memory, isn't it? Because he was worried that he wouldn't even be able to be a gentleman, then of course he had to show his concern.

"Xiangping, did you hear any rumors? That's right......" Li Da Tuhao suddenly realized:

"I forgot that you were also in your hometown some time ago, and the two old people are really true, why do you tell children about this kind of thing."

Well, Li Da Tuhao obviously misunderstood, he thought that Li Xiangping's grandparents revealed something to him, but just as Li Xiangping was about to speak again, he found that he didn't need it, because there was a god next to him to assist, Zhao Jiadong said with a smile at this time:

"Hehe, Xiangping is not a child now, he is a dignified world champion, a prodigy known to the people of the whole country, and he is much more promising than us, you say Xiangping?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Jiadong also smiled at Li Xiangping in a friendly manner. Because the relationship between the two families is there, Li Xiangping will not see Zhao Jiadong, he knows about his old man, even if "Aunt Lin" doesn't know, his godfather won't know:

"Hmm..... I heard my grandfather say that day, it seems that something has happened, what is going on? Is it solved? ”

"It's nothing to do now,"

The interface is still Zhao Jiadong, he has no suspicion like Li Yuanhu, thinking that Li Xiangping's grandfather inadvertently revealed something, seeing Li Xiangping's concerned face, he explained more casually, using that joking tone:

"If you want to say it's okay, it's not really okay, isn't there an eye-opener, and you still want to seek your father's property, but Xiangping, don't worry, this matter has been solved."

Speaking of this, he turned to Li Yuanhu again and said with a smile: "See, Yuanhu, you are usually still talking nonsense there, saying that Xiangping is not good and that is not good, you see how much people Xiangping cares about you." ”

After listening to Zhao Jiadong's words, Li Xiangping is no longer worried, because he knows and trusts his godfather very well, and his trust in him is second only to Zhao Daokai's school-tying mother, since he is now saying that he is fine, then Li Xiangping must be okay if he knows.

As for what happened to Li Yuanhu, although Zhao Jiadong didn't say it explicitly, Li Xiangping didn't care about it. You have to know what Li Da Tuhao does? He was a contractor and worked on projects such as construction and real estate.

So in this industry, with the current environment in China, it is not a joke to say that it is too common to meet someone who wants to take it by force.

Just like Zhao Jiadong just said, "Someone wants to seek your father's property", then in this industry, this is really not an exaggeration.

You must know that Li Datuhao is now in a period of career expansion, operating many projects all over the country at the same time, and now, projects of more than 100 million yuan are no longer a problem, and billion-level projects have begun to appear.

So in such a big project, as long as there is a serious problem in one project, Li Yuanhu's net worth will definitely not be enough.

Thinking of this, Li Xiangping remembered what he started, and at this time he probably already knew which project his old man had a problem with.

"By the way, Uncle Guo, why haven't I seen Uncle Guo come to our house for a while?"

Well, the "Uncle Guo" that Li Xiangping said was Li Yuanhu's early partner, such as the community where Lao Nie lives now, which was jointly developed by the two.

"You Uncle Guo......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Jiadong's face suddenly changed, and he turned his head to Li Yuanhu and said:

"By the way, Yuanhu, you said that in this matter, will it be ......?"

said that it was probably because he saw Li Xiangping present, so he stopped.

And Li Xiangping noticed that although his old man didn't change color immediately, he also looked thoughtful, and he waved his hand to Li Xiangping and said:

"Okay Xiangping, since you just came back, let's go and rest early."

"Okay, goodbye Uncle Zhao."

Since he has achieved his goal, Li Xiangping is not in the mood to stay and chat with the two old guys, anyway, in his opinion, as long as his old man is really fine, it will not affect his qualifications to continue to be a gentleman, so how he deals with his own affairs, Li Xiangping doesn't care at all, doesn't care at all.

Now that you don't have to worry about not being able to do it, let's get ready for the game.
