Chapter 41: The Biggest Star
According to Dong Lao's identity and original intention, he said to give a "meeting gift", "promise a condition" or something, in fact, he said, "I like you kid very much, I will cover you in the future, but considering that we are not familiar with each other, I will cover you once." Seeing that Li Xiaoqiang put forward the conditions without thinking, Dong Lao hadn't turned the corner yet, and at the same time, he was a little ashamed in his heart, and he loved Li Xiaoqiang even more in his heart. In order to eliminate that little shame, he also helped Li Xiaoqiang solve the problem of plane tickets by the way, and of course, Lu Fanyun also followed. Otherwise, in this era, without special reasons, section-level cadres like him are not qualified to fly or sleep.
That night, Li Xiaoqiang and Lu Fanyun met with Teacher Wu first. Mr. Wu went home according to the original plan, and took it back to report and explain the situation. On the second day, the two of them, Team Leader Hua, Coach Luo, and a group of 4 people flew to Shencheng together.
The 2nd China-Japan Go Tournament opened last month, with 9 players from each side of the tournament, adding a female pioneer and a young player compared to the first edition. The young chess player of the Chinese team is actually Zhang Xuan Liuduan, a female chess player. This shows how serious the breaking of Chinese Go was back then. In two matches played last month, Chinese pioneer Rui Liwei defeated Japanese female pioneer Kusuko and young chess player Michihiro Morita to win two consecutive victories. Rui Weiwei is affectionately known as "Brother Xia", a real chess nerd, who can still fight on the front line of the chess world in his 50s. It is the first woman to play Go in the world without controversy throughout the ages. There will also be two matches in Shencheng, starting with Japan's Toshiya Imamura taking on Rui Weiwei.
I have to say that the form of "ring competition" is very much in line with the taste of the Chinese people. Coupled with the victory of the first tournament, the Go craze in China is fermenting. Li Xiaoqiang felt different as soon as he got off the plane, as if there was a smell of Go in the air. Coming to pick up the plane were Coach Zhao of the Shencheng Go team and several reporters from the Shencheng Evening News and other press circles.
Coach Zhao greeted Team Leader Hua and Coach Luo warmly after seeing them. It's a little strange to see that there are still two people. Ask Team Leader Hua with your eyes. Team Leader Hua laughed at this and introduced the names of Li Xiaoqiang. Then he continued: "Xiaoqiang is a prodigy, not to mention that he plays Go well, and he is still the gold medalist of this year's "Hua Luogeng Cup".
"Oh!" Coach Zhao didn't care, thinking that he was an ordinary Go enthusiast.
"Don't underestimate Xiaoqiang, let me tell you, Ganyuan's Xiong Lao didn't dare to teach him Go, Lao Chen made it very difficult for his two sons, if it wasn't that the child was inexperienced, that game of Lao Chen was enough to choke."
It was Coach Luo who spoke. Coach Luo asked again: "What about Xiao Chang you brought, Xiao Qiang seems to be one year older than Xiao Chang, wait a minute, let Xiao Qiang try whether Xiao Chang's level has improved." Don't blame me for not reminding you in advance, my little pig is not a match for other people's little strong at all. ”
"Which old Chen?"
The questioner was Zhang Zhidong, a Go reporter from the Shencheng Evening News, who was also an amateur master and had entered the top 10 many times in the "Evening News Cup" held later, and was also well-known in the Chinese Go amateur circle. Because I often run the Go line, I am very familiar with the people of the national Go team.
"Chen surpasses Chen Jiuduan, which old Chen."
"Huh!?"
As an amateur master, he is also from Shencheng. Of course, Zhang Zhidong knows what it means for Chen Chaoyue to let the two sons.
"The level of professional Go, the gold medalist of the "Hua Luogeng" Cup, comes from the backward area of Go in Ganyuan. "Stir this up...... As a reporter, Zhang Zhidong's eyes lit up. Soon, Reporter Zhang and Lu Fanyun got together. Lu Fanyun was overjoyed, and Lu Fanyun had the consciousness of doing tricks when he accompanied him. Now someone takes care of himself, and it is said that he is still a few amateur players in China...... "Calm, calm, how to say that I have seen the world now." Lu Fanyun cheered himself up in his heart.
Coach Zhao was also taken aback when he heard the last sentence. looked at Li Xiaoqiang again, and his face was happy: "Okay, okay, whether you are tired or not, I will arrange it immediately." ”
"Don't worry, let's go to the Go team first. After settling in, you can bring Xiao Chang over."
Team Leader Hua is still a priority for business.
"Alright, alright, let's get over here."
The group came to the residence of the Go team, which was very rare in this era, and the ring competition was the top priority, in other words, it was an "overriding task", so most of the members of the national Go team were there. Li Xiaoqiang took a look at the Chinese "Five Tiger Generals" in this era, Ma, Liu, Cao, Jiang, and Qian, all of them. Each of these people has a wonderful story to tell. They were also very curious when they saw Li Xiaoqiang, but now that the big battle was coming, helping his teammates prepare for the battle was the top priority. So they all suppressed their curiosity and didn't come over immediately to weigh Li Xiaoqiang's weight.
After dinner in the evening, Coach Zhao brought over the two children. may have listened to Coach Luo's words, in addition to Chang Rensheng, Coach Zhao also brought Shao Weigang over. Shao Weigang, the oldest of the "Seven Little Dragons" in later Chinese Go, is two years older than Li Xiaoqiang, and his current Go level is a cut above Chang Rensheng.
Chang Rensheng is a well-known good boy, and he is also a good man in later generations, and his image is also very good. In the eyes of an ordinary chess fan, Chang Rensheng doesn't seem to have any shortcomings except for being beaten a little miserably by Li Shifo.
There's not much nonsense either, and the practice starts as soon as the people get together. Chang Rensheng's chess is the same as his people, well-behaved and honest. A person like him seems to be a master of cultivating "Xuanmen Authenticity" in martial arts novels, and when his skills arrive, others don't want to win him, his skills are not enough, and there is no way to win others. The current Chang Rensheng is obviously not strong enough in front of Li Xiaoqiang. In Li Xiaoqiang's opinion, it is easier for him to win Chang Rensheng than to win Luo Shenzhu. After all, Luo Shen Pig still has some whimsical ideas, and Chang Rensheng's chess is in order, but the basic skills are a little more solid than Luo Shen Pig. Chang Rensheng is a little good, he doesn't admit defeat, he still wants to come when he loses, he still wants to play after losing to Li Xiaoqiang in three sets, and he is stopped by everyone after the worst. replaced Shao Wei just went up, and he is not Li Xiaoqiang's opponent at present.
A few people from the capital are better, after all, Li Xiaoqiang's tougher performances have all been seen. Coach Zhao of Shencheng couldn't stand it a little. As an excellent, experienced grassroots coach. Coach Zhao has a good reputation in China. But now, for the first time, our poor Coach Zhao doubts his own level and ability. He really couldn't figure out how such a demon could have appeared. If it were a future generation, they would definitely say, "This is not scientific!" Coach Zhao was puzzled, but Zhang Zhidong and reporter Zhang on the side were dancing, and he knew that he had caught the big news......
The next day, Li Xiaoqiang originally wanted to visit the current Shencheng, but Chang Rensheng came over early in the morning and pestered Li Xiaoqiang to play chess. Li Xiaoqiang couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to accompany him, and after all, he said in the end whether you are "Xiaoqiang" or I am Xiaoqiang, and the name of "Rendea" is really worthy of its name. Zhang Zhidong has been following Li Xiaoqiang for the past two days, and even moved the idea of going to Ganyuan Qiancheng to get to the bottom of the matter, "Ganyuan genius broke the Shencheng prodigy", Reporter Zhang even thought of the name, but a piece of news immediately made Reporter Zhang have to change his name.
Coach Luo came to inform: The Japanese Go delegation is here, and the team is led by Fujisawa Hideyuki Honorary Chess Saint, and after listening to the introduction of the Chinese side, he named Li Xiaoqiang to play chess.
