Chapter 42 Honorary President
At this moment, everyone's eyes were also focused on Ouyang Tao.
They were obviously also very interested in what Ouyang Tao said.
Being watched by everyone, Ouyang Tao coughed dryly, and then said seriously: "I want you to be the honorary chairman." ”
Hiss!!
Hearing Ouyang Tao's words, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Honorary President.
This position is not a joke.
In the Go Association, the existence of the previous honorary chairman dates back to 18 years ago.
Here, the status and authority of the honorary chairman are second only to the chairman.
And sometimes, the honorary president can even be above the president.
Since the resignation of the previous honorary president eighteen years ago, the Weiqi Association has not established this position again.
But now—
Ouyang Tao directly wanted Chu Xiu to be qualified for this position.
Needless to say, the meaning of this is needless to say.
Although Chu Xiu didn't know how big an official position this so-called honorary chairman was, judging from the consternation on the faces of Feng Yulin and the others, it would definitely not be small.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiu couldn't help but speak: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ouyang, I'm afraid I can't promise you what you said." ”
"What?"
Seeing that Chu Xiu rejected him, Ouyang Tao looked very surprised.
You know, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the position of honorary chairman.
But Ouyang Tao didn't agree.
Now, he took the initiative to propose it, but Chu Xiu actually refused.
It's just a fantasy.
"Chu Xiu, do you know how powerful this honorary chairman is, how many people dream of sitting in this position!" Looking at Chu Xiu, Ouyang Tao opened his mouth to persuade.
"Yes, Chu Xiu, the power of this honorary chairman is not small, and you can even ignore Ouyang, the president!" Zhang Zhenguo on the side also echoed.
After listening to Zhang Zhenguo's words, Chu Xiu couldn't do it anymore.
Even Ouyang Tao doesn't pay attention to the position, if he sits on it, won't he become the target of public criticism?
This kind of stupid thing, Chu Xiu would not do it.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiu smiled and said, "Mr. Ouyang, thank you for your promotion, I, Chu Xiu, how can He De be able to sit in this position? I'm just a clown who jumps off the beam, everyone let me before and gave me a lot of face."
Moreover, I have other things that are really difficult to separate.
Besides, in the Go Association, there are so many seniors here, and I am a junior, so I don't have a chance at all.
I'm very satisfied that you can look at me. ”
Chu Xiu's words can be described as very tactful and polite.
Seeing Chu Xiu say this, Feng Yulin and the others also spoke.
"Chu Xiu, don't be so modest, your chess skills are far above us. ”
"That's right, if you are the honorary chairman, it will be a great help to our Go Association. ”
"There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry. Age doesn't prove anything, and besides, you are already so powerful at a young age, and your future future is even more immeasurable!"
"Chu Xiu, you deserve this honorary chairman!"
......
I have to say that this group of old men in the Go Association is still very enlightened.
They are not, like some people, who are consumed by profit.
In their view, a position like the honorary chairman of the board of directors is the one where the capable person lives.
Chu Xiu's chess skills are superb, so he can hold this position.
"Do you see it?" Chu Xiu, now you can be said to be the one who is expected by everyone, and this honorary chairman is none other than you!" After hearing the words of Feng Yulin and the others, Ouyang Tao came to his senses, patted Chu Xiu's shoulder, and said solemnly.
Get.
Chu Xiu didn't know how to refuse.
"And, Chu Xiu, don't worry, this honorary chairman is not delaying your business, we don't need you to come over every day, we just need to hang a post, when you are free, just come and sit, if you don't have time, we can also understand." Without waiting for Chu Xiu to speak, Ouyang Tao continued.
And so it goes.
Chu Xiu was dumbfounded.
At this point, if Chu Xiu still refused, it would be a bit hypocritical.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiu took a deep breath and said, "Since this is the case, then I might as well be respectful." ”
"Hahahaha! Okay, good, our association finally has an honorary president!"
"That's a great thing!"
"I have to come at noon today, which is a great blessing for our Go Association. ”
"I'm going to drink today, and no one can stop me from what I said!"
After seeing that Chu Xiu agreed, everyone burst into laughter.
......
Subsequently, Ouyang Tao briefly told Chu Xiu about the development of the Go Association in recent years.
After hearing this, Chu Xiu's brows couldn't help frowning.
In China, the development of Go is facing a very huge problem.
That's the lack of greenery.
In the Go Association, 95 percent of them are elderly, and the overall age is over 50 years old.
As for teenagers, there are few and far between.
If this continues, in another one or two decades, it is estimated that the game of Go will be completely extinct.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiu opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Ouyang, the development of Go in our China has a history of more than 2,000 years, this is an ancient sport, but now, Go is facing a very serious problem, most of the young people now, let alone know how to play Go, I'm afraid they don't even know some of the most basic rules, right?"
Hearing Chu Xiu's words, Ouyang Tao sighed, then nodded heavily, and said, "Chu Xiu, what you said is extremely true, this problem, I am also thinking about how to solve it now, my head hurts." ”
Hearing this, Chu Xiu said: "Actually, it is not difficult to solve this problem. ”
Chu Xiu's words instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Chu Xiu, tell me, how should it be solved?" Feng Yulin asked first.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Xiu slowly spoke: "If we can promote the game of Go in primary and secondary schools, and make a little change to it so that it doesn't look so boring, there will definitely be a lot of people interested." ”
Seeing Chu Xiu say this, Ouyang Tao's brows instantly relaxed.
"It's a good idea, but the question now is, how should Go be changed?" asked Ouyang Tao.
"I'll just leave this to me, and when the time comes, I'll come up with a plan. Throughout history, those things that have been eliminated are, in the final analysis, because they can't keep up with the trend of the times, so they slowly become obsolete and eventually eliminated. Chu Xiu said slowly.
"That's right! Chu Xiu's words make sense!" Feng Yulin immediately clapped his hands.
......
With the passage of time.
It's close to noon.
After having lunch, Chu Xiu and Zhang Zhenguo returned to the city.
