Chapter 430: Chain of Contempt

What Li Xiangping didn't expect was, no, it should be said that maybe even Da Li himself didn't expect it: he casually said a sentence of "semi-first level", which immediately became a hot topic in the Go world.

At around 7 o'clock in the evening Korean time, at the Continental Restaurant of the Westin Chosun Hotel in Seoul, Li Xiangping competed with a plate of barbecue while listening to Zhang Da reporter Lao Xie and others introduce the situation just now:

"Hahahaha, did Da Li really say that just now? ...... Come on, waiter, serve wine, by the way, Mr. Hua, what kind of wine should we drink today? ”

"I don't need the wine, you still have to play tomorrow."

Team Leader Hua said this while forgiving the surrounding environment. Well, in this year, this "Westin North Korea Hotel", which is already the top hotel in South Korea, is also the organizer of this competition, and can be ranked with this hotel, then there is only one "Lotte" and one "Myeongdong", but those two hotels belong to the other two chaebols in South Korea, and only this one belongs to Samsung, so according to the situation in South Korea, everyone understands.

It's just that although this is a stadium, this continental restaurant, even the Chinese team has never been here-----

The price of goods in South Korea is extremely expensive, so with the income of these people in the Go world these years, unless it is someone else's treat, they really can't afford to spend the best five-star hotel in Seoul.

Well, today this is Li Xiangping, Team Leader Hua knows that this is a master who is not bad for money, and his old man is now thriving in the real estate industry in Beijing, and now even Team Leader Hua has heard of it.

In addition, not to mention the family, even Li Xiangping himself, it is now the end of the year, and his bonus income is indisputably the first in China. Even in the entire world chess world, there may only be one or two people in the Japanese chess world who can surpass Li Xiangping------

There is no clear ranking of prize money in the professional chess world, but if you simply estimate that as long as Japanese chess players can win two of their own "big three crowns", there is no pressure to earn more than 100 million yen, which is converted into 10 million yuan.

As for Li Xiangping, even if he achieves such results this year, and Weijia still wins a game of 100,000, his simple bonus income is still at the million level in this year, and he can't be like Ke Shaoxia in later generations, who can reach the tens of millions level.

It is precisely because of the above reasons, plus that you won chess today, right? Therefore, when Li Xiangping was full of interest, he said that he wanted to come here to fight the tooth sacrifice.

However, the tooth sacrifice is a tooth sacrifice, but when I heard Li Xiangping say that he wanted to drink, the Hua team leader still instinctively blocked it, not because of anything else, Li Xiangping is still not yet 17 years old, a serious "teenager", since this is the case, of course you have to dissuade an old comrade like the Hua team leader.

It's a pity that a gentleman like Li Xiangping, how could he listen to the dissuasion of his old comrades:

"Hehe, no, no, come to this place for dinner, how can you do it without drinking some wine, maybe you will be looked down upon by these Koreans...... By the way, Lao Zhang, Lao Xie, what kind of wine do you two say is good? ”

Reporter Zhang Da and Lao Xie glanced at each other, the two of them are reporters who have traveled from south to north, they must be different from old comrades like Team Leader Hua, not to mention that after getting along for so many years, they are already very familiar with Li Xiangping.

Lao Xie of the "sports world" spoke first; "Hehe Hua Lao, since Xiangping is so happy today, then you let him drink some bars, but you were right just now, there is still a game tomorrow, so we won't be white, just accompany Xiangping to drink some red wine or beer......"

"Red wine, it must be red wine today," Li Xiangping took over by himself, and he looked excited:

"It's still relatively cool to win this chess today, although it hasn't reached the point of opening champagne, but you can drink a little red wine."

"Okay, then the red bar."

Compared with Lao Xie, reporter Zhang Da is of course more familiar with Li Xiangping, and he also knows more about his temperament, so seeing Li Xiangping is rarely interested now, of course he will not spoil the fun, and after calling the waiter over, he beckoned to Li Xiangping:

"Come to Xiangping, you still have to do this work of ordering wine."

Li Xiangping looked around left and right: "What do you say is good to drink?" ”

To tell the truth, Li Xiangping just asked casually, not only him, but other people didn't care about what to drink at this time, but Zhang Da didn't know what was going on, he probably remembered what Da Li said about "half the first level", so he sighed at this time:

"Tut-tut, Da Li actually said that he was spurred by Xiangping, he actually rose to the half-first level, and now the only problem is that I can't confirm whether what he said is true or false, if what he said is indeed true, then I think we are worth opening the bottle of 82 Lafite to celebrate."

Hearing reporter Zhang Da say "82's Lafite", everyone at the table laughed, including Li Xiangping. Of course, as a traverser, Li Xiangping knows that his smile is different from others.

To put it simply, in the face of this stalk that has been circulating in China for many years, the Hua team leader Lao Xie Lao Jia and others in this era feel really awesome, but here in Li Xiangping, of course he only hears stupidity.

As a traverser, it is more embarrassing that Li Xiangping obviously heard a stupid person, but he didn't dare to reveal it in front of others, not only did he not reveal it, but he even had to pretend to be "you are so awesome".

Obviously, the stalk of "82 Lafite" is still a bit lethal in this era, after listening to Zhang Da's reporters, Lao Xie Lao Jia and other reporters also became interested, Lao Xie also pulled the translator to ask the Korean girl, asking if there is this kind of wine here.

However, after receiving an affirmative answer, the scene suddenly became a little awkward.

Although with Lao Xie's IQ and experience, of course, he already knew that even in this era, the annual output of 82 Lafite has been consumed by the Chinese people more than ten times.

However, after all, this is not South Korea, and it is the best hotel opened by the largest chaebol in South Korea, so since they say that there is, even if Lao Xie doesn't believe him, it is difficult to refute it.

Especially when the little Korean girl cast a trace of contempt in her eyes, this scene was of course even more embarrassing.

Well, to resolve such embarrassments, of course, you still need a gentleman like Li Xiangping.

"Rafi? What's so good about Lafite's wine, waiter, come here......"

Li Xiangping waved his hand at the Korean girl, and then announced the name of another red wine brand through the translator:

“..... Well, it seems that I heard that there were good bars in the early 80s, and it was better to double it, that is, 8082 or 84, you go and see if there are any ...... of these years."

After Li Xiangping finished speaking, the face of the little Korean girl suddenly changed, not only did her eyes disappear with contempt, but she also bowed slightly to Li Xiangping:

"Sorry for the wait, I need to ask about this......"

When the Korean little girl stepped back respectfully, others naturally asked, Li Xiangping pretended to be light, but in fact, he waved his hand very forcefully:

"It's nothing, I just reported a kind of Italian red wine, this kind of wine is not well-known in Asia, it is a very unpopular brand, I saw the little girl's eyes just now were not happy, so I deliberately scared and scared her."

Hearing Li Xiangping say this, the others are nothing, but the old Jia of the "Huaxi Daily":

"Yes, yes, I heard everyone say that European red wine will fight to the end, and it will depend on Italy."

Li Xiangping glanced at Lao Jia in surprise: "Yo, I can't see that Mr. Jia is an expert, a real expert." ”

Lao Jia smiled and waved his hand: "Where is it, when it comes to the real connoisseur of red wine in the Go world, it actually belongs to Ma Xiao, no, I just heard this set of rhetoric, it was actually from Ma Xiao." ”

Regarding Lao Jia's words, everyone here still believes that after all, there used to be "Nie Ma and Shuangxiong" in the Chinese chess world, one of them likes red wine and the other likes white wine, which most people in the circle know.

There is nothing to say about Lao Nie's liking of liquor, after he became a "hero in the ring", Moutai Distillery gave him a bottle of decades of original liquor, which is extremely precious, and the distillery itself only had 4 bottles at that time, two of which were left in the factory, and the other two plates were sent to a certain boss in the Elders' House back then, and one of the bottles was transferred to Lao Nie.

When the Chinese men's football team qualified for the first World Cup, it was opened by Lao Nie.

On this bit of, Lao Nie has been talking about it for more than 10 years, and he is still talking about it when Li Xiangping crosses, saying that he regretted opening that bottle of wine back then.

The above is the story of Lao Nie and Baijiu, as for Ma Xiaohe Red Wine, in fact, there was also a story in the early years:

Once a local tyrant invited Ma Xiao and other people in the Go world to dinner, this local tyrant was born in COFCO, and his fortune was mainly in the red wine business, so he should also be regarded as a connoisseur of red wine.

The dinner party was very drunk, and the atmosphere was very good, and after the wine was finished, the local tyrant took out a plate of good wine with great interest, and said that it was his private treasure and so on.

When the wine was opened, the others naturally had nothing to say, only Ma Xiao smiled silently, and only drank the previous wine, not this bottle of "private collection".

Under everyone's questioning, Ma Xiao told the truth at that time, and he clearly told the local tyrant that the relatively ordinary wine in front of him was real, but this bottle of "private collection" was very likely to be fake.

Unexpectedly, the local tyrant from COFCO was also a straight man, he was a little unable to hang up at that time, and even made a few phone calls and called a few former colleagues at that time.

Well, when my colleague arrived, it was said that he also brought that kind of special testing equipment.

This test now reveals the truth, and the age of the bottle "private collection" is obviously not enough.

After this story spread, Ma whispered to the wine world.

"Hahahama also told me that in fact, in the entire wine industry, there is a chain of contempt......."

Before the Korean girl came back, everyone was idle, so they listened to Lao Jia give everyone science there.

"Huh? Contempt chain? ”

Lao Jia nodded: "Well, I heard Ma Xiao tell me...... Of course, I can't remember the details, but I remember that he said that in the whole world, that is, according to the continent, there is a chain of contempt for red wine, specifically European red wine looks down on Turkey and Australia, and Turkey and Australia look down on Americans. ”

"Oh?" Reporter Zhang Da interjected: "What about Asian? ”

Lao Jia shook his head: "I don't know, it seems that Asian red wine is not on this chain of contempt,"

Lao Jia continued: "The focus is not on this large-scale chain of contempt, because there are many countries in Europe and their red wine culture is the most developed, so there is also a chain of contempt for their red wine. ”

"That's right, then Lao Jia will tell us in detail."

"It's too specific, how can I remember it," Lao Jia smiled:

"I only remember the main ones, for example, the red wine at the bottom of Europe, do you know which country?"

So everyone began to be blinded, not to mention, this is actually not difficult to obscure, and after Lao Xie reported the name of "Germany", Lao Jia told him that he had been blinded.

As for why German wine is at the bottom of the chain of contempt, the reason is of course very simple, because German beer is very famous, and since you are famous for beer, it is of course human nature for red wine to be despised.

Lao Jia reported that the penultimate contempt chain was beyond many people's expectations, French red wine! The French red wine, which is famous all over the world, is actually the second-to-last of this chain of contempt.

"It's impossible, Lao Jia, you're talking nonsense, right?"

"Hehe, I'm actually surprised, but that's what Ma Xiao told me......"

When everyone was arguing there, the team leader saw it very clearly:

"Hehe, I think it's very possible, after all, this kind of thing is not really ranked, I think, the reason why French red wine is ranked second to last may be that it is too famous."

After everyone looked back, I felt that the reason of Team Leader Hua seemed to be really reasonable. So he accepted Lao Jia's statement.

Lao Jia was very proud, so he continued to talk endlessly:

“...... Ma Xiao told me that the top of this chain of contempt is the Italian red wine that Xiangping just mentioned..... Huh, Xiangping? Xiangping, what are you thinking? ”

Everyone turned their eyes to Li Xiangping again, and Li Xiangping also came back to his senses at this time.

He smiled and said to the crowd:

"It's nothing, I just heard Mr. Jia talk about the problem of contempt chain, which reminds me that there seems to be a chain of contempt in our Go world."

"Well, what kind of chain of contempt do we have in the Go world?"

"Why not, for example, all kinds of winning methods, and even for the corresponding chess style or something, isn't there a chain of contempt for the development of professional Go."

"Oh?"

Everyone put away the topic of red wine and contempt chain, and at this time they all turned their eyes on Li Xiangping, wanting to hear him talk about the chain of contempt in the Go world.

"Ahem," Li Xiangping pretended to clear his throat:

"In our Go world, although no one has raised the issue of contempt chain, but I think there is, at least, at the bottom of the contempt chain of winning and chess style is very clear, for a long time, everyone has looked down on the kind of slashing and killing chess, and think that the so-called "force fighting" style of chess is the least popular, everyone said, right? ”

Hearing Li Xiangping start like this, everyone present suddenly became interested, and Team Leader Hua encouraged with a smile:

"Say, Xiangping, you continue."
