The owner of the Huajia Chess Club, he had heard of Lao Zhou's name before he retired.
Chess hero, the strongest of the chess grandmasters, the last chess man of the late twentieth century...
It seems that no matter which name Lao Zhou has, it is the pursuit of countless chess people all their lives.
But at the beginning of the 21st century, that is, in the year of 00, Lao Zhou disappeared after the first and final decisive battle between Lao Zhou and the artificial intelligence of the new century.
In that game, Lao Zhou successfully defeated artificial intelligence and gave countless Chinese chess players a bad breath.
But Lao Zhou, who was already old, also chose to retire that year.
More than 20 years have passed, many people say that Lao Zhou died, and many people say that Lao Zhou emigrated overseas.
Unexpectedly, Lao Zhou has been in this city, and joined the Huaxia Chess Academy some time ago and became the honorary president.
His appearance also made the boss of the Huajia Chess Club frown rarely.
Although this old man has many reputations, more than 20 years have passed, and both his appeal and chess power should not be as influential as it was back then.
But even so, being an enemy of him is naturally a thankless thing, after all, most of the chess players of the older generation who are still active in the chess world at the age of forty or fifty know and worship the life of Lao Zhou's legend.
And this time, he came in a hurry, naming himself by name, and it was actually for a person.
This person is none other than Yang Zheng.
For Yang Zheng, the boss of the chess club is very impressed, he is good at chess, his personality is good, and he was introduced by Lao Li, so he can be said to be a very promising young man.
But this promising young man seemed to have offended several business bigwigs, and actually called him and asked Yang Zheng to play a game that was sure to lose.
I wanted to protect Yang Zheng, but there was a big man on the other side who had helped him, and in the end he could only reluctantly agree for Yang Zheng.
But I never expected that this young man actually had Lao Zhou as his backer, and he didn't seem to be able to offend this legendary figure.
On the way back to the company, he thought about it a lot.
For example, compared with Lao Zhou and those big shots, who is stronger?
It seems that with the reform and opening up, the status of businessmen has become higher and higher, and many people with assets of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions can rewrite the lives of countless ordinary people according to their own wishes. And Lao Zhou is just a good chess player, even if he has countless honors, he seems to only be able to influence the direction of the chessboard and decide his own lifestyle.
No matter how old he is and how good he is at chess, he doesn't seem to be able to change the entire society or even determine the direction of many people's lives.
Although it looks like Lao Zhou lost, he lived long enough, and when he was young, he achieved a lot of honors for the country. If you don't handle it properly, someone will add fuel and vinegar to it on the Internet.
Those ordinary people may turn around and criticize their chess club because of Lao Zhou's age and the past.
In the end, it may lead to problems in the business that I have been running for decades, and my life for decades will turn into a bubble.
Therefore, he decided that he wanted to make a preemptive strike, and how to make the first strike was naturally to play chess.
Because he knows that when a craftsman loses the craftsmanship and kung fu that he relies on for survival, no matter how brilliant his past is, he will not have any value of being worshiped and believed in now.
