"Congratulations first, not only the gold medal of the Asian Games, but also the big chess player, the national player, and the chess saint, you are now the top of the three flowers."

Ying Jie heard this and said indifferently: "There is still a gap between Tianyuan and celebrities, the schedule is conflicting, and the achievement of Wuqi Chaoyuan can only be kept for next year." ”

After the end of the Asian Games, the challenge matches for the two titles will start directly.

Ying Jie still kept a clean sheet against two old-timers and won the other two titles.

And, of course, the bonuses included in the title.

I have to say that the prize money of chess jihad is indeed very high.

Fan Ruoyu's fists hardened when she heard this: "Damn, do you really want to take all the titles?" ”

China has a total of five titles, and there is no way to survive at all, right?

"It would be nice if the World Series was the same as the title fight, and I could defend the title.

In this way, you don't have to work hard all the time, just wait for others to challenge. ”

"If it's a defending title, it's too easy to accumulate world titles like this."

It is not difficult to win the world championship three times from the round of 64 to the finals, and to wait for someone to play chess with you to win the championship.

After all, anyone who is a single eliminator may be eliminated at any time if they are not careful.

Therefore, it is rare to see people win various world championships, even ordinary national competitions, but there are people who often win five or seven consecutive titles.

This is one of the features of the defending challenge system, where the owner of the previous title is more likely to win with ease.

It is also Ying Jie who won five titles, and Fan Ruoyu is most worried.

It's already very difficult to win Ying Jie, so let's do it again,

When the time comes, it will be really difficult to go through a lot of hardships.

After nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, he reached the West Heaven, and then the Buddha directly sent him to the West Heaven.

The mentality really collapsed.

"Guangyin Jiuduan is definitely retiring?"

Gu Shaosheng on the other side nodded: "It seems to be like this, when the age comes, the state has indeed begun to decline."

He didn't have any good results in this year's World Championships, and he was slightly better in the Asian Games. ”

Although Gao Yongxia is a round of tours, Guangyin Jiudan is obviously not much better.

Even Lu Li Jiudan seems to have begun to weaken after winning a championship, and he has not reached the semi-finals in the recent world series.

"A new generation replaces the old."

"Is there a retirement ceremony that is going to be held?"

"It seems that yes, it is said that someone has been found to sponsor it."

There is no definite retirement ceremony for a normal Go player to end his career.

Many top chess players will not be in peak condition by then, and they will start not participating in professional competitions such as the World Series, and may have the opportunity to participate in the World Series, and they will also give up to other newcomers.

Then it silently faded out of sight.

Occasionally participate in one or two invitational tournaments, and although the rating is still on the active player rankings, everyone tacitly retired.

In reality, most of them started to work behind the scenes at this stage, serving as presidents of some local Go associations or engaging in some related Go education activities.

And Guangyin Jiuduan directly held a retirement ceremony this time, which really means that the plate has been completely sealed.

Say goodbye to the professional world once and for all.

You don't necessarily participate in invitational tournaments or the like.

As for the sponsors who support this retirement event, Guangyin Jiudan has also been in the industry for more than ten years, and there are still many rich fans.

Have a retirement ceremony and sprinkle water.

Ying Jie finally determined that Mr. Pei is really not the only sponsor of Chinese Go.

"It was also said before that someone wanted to fund Gao Yongxia and Lu Li's nine-dan ten-game chess."

Gu Shaosheng shook his head when he heard this: "It's just a rumor, but the ten times of these two people, they can't get it down without tens of millions."

The championship prize money is at least a few million, right? Coupled with all kinds of miscellaneous expenses, it is estimated that it will cost more than several World Championships.

It's hard to find sponsors for the World Series, and I'm looking for this. ”

"Maybe one day the sponsor will be coaxed, and people will do it as soon as they pay for it."

After all, the sponsors of Chinese Go are really all for love and love the project.

If it's cool one day, or if you drink it well on the wine table, you can slap your head and maybe you will do it right away.

Generating electricity for love is so cost-free.

As for the sponsorship of the Go project, which can return to the cost and even make money, Ying Jie can't think of it.

It's too hard.

Although Chinese football is regarded as a national shame, it is really a professional sport that can really make money.

Although Go also imitates the professionalization of football, it has cultivated a group of talents and emerged a group of excellent chess players.

But compared to the natural advantages of football as the "number one sport in the world", the market is too different.

It's too hard to monetize.

"This retirement, it is said that I found the top chess players from China, Japan and South Korea, and played a game each."

"Fuso's side must be Jing Shan Guang, South Korea should most likely be Gao Yongxia, China's side.

Yu Liang? Lu Li? Yellow River? ”

Gu Shaosheng reported several names in a row, and the other two countries were all players from the other two countries when Guangyin competed in the Beidou Cup that year.

From this point of view, Yu Liangjiudan, a teammate of the Chinese team at that time, is more likely.

But Lu Li Jiuduan, as the first person in China to surpass Guangyin, also has a great possibility.

Needless to say, the nine sections of the Yellow River are said to have come out of the same dojo.

“……”

Looking at the expressions of his teammates who were meditating, Ying Jie asked a little embarrassed: "No one guesses me?" ”

"You?"

Fan Ruoyu raised his head and glanced at Ying Jie when he heard this, although you are now the first person in China, you have no commemorative value.

……

Holy, what do you mean? Look down on me?

"I'm sorry, I'm the one who was invited by China."

Ying Jie couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Can you not just think about commemoration? To be realistic, can't the typical first person in China, Japan, and South Korea see it?

Who is the first person in China now? Do you still need to ask?

Guangyin Jiudan also called in person at that time.

said that Ying Jie gave it to him for the first time, so leave his last one to Ying Jie.

……

Ying Jie always feels that there is any ambiguity in this sentence, are Go players so abstract?

"How much did you pay to appear in the invitational tournament?"

Fan Ruoyu asked with some gossip, Ying Jie is also the first person in China, and the game fee should not be less, right?

No matter what, there should be 5 to 100,000.

"Four hundred thousand."

“……”

"Yen?"

"Won?"

"Zimbabwean coins?"

Listening to the words of the three teammates, Ying Jie said with a straight face: "On the land of China, I don't want to exchange my wealth with other currencies. ”

PS: I went to the hospital, I was late for a round trip, sorry
