   Chapter 851 Reassurance

   "Me?... Ha, I don't have any opinion, you call the shots, you call the shots..."

   Knowing that others were asking for his opinion, Li Xiangping sighed in his heart while replying like this, saying that it was the dog that was at work--

   If he didn't know that the dog was going to be born in a few years, maybe he would really be unconventional and come up with the idea of ​​the Jiufanqi.

   It's a pity that Li Xiangping's ambition is no longer with this. As a member of the Transmigration Army, he feels that even if he pretends to be coercive, he must pretend to be the most cowardly, so what he is thinking about now is to represent human beings and fight against machines in the future.

   As for this kind of human competition, it's up to others to toss.

  Since Li Xiangping has no opinion, the next negotiation will be much smoother—

Because at this time, even if the EQ is as low as Old Nie, he has almost recovered: this game is mostly facilitated by Li Xiangping, not only is he the one who brought Xu to the public, but this big dog in the domestic sports industry seems to be the only one. He followed suit and listened to Li Xiangping's opinions very carefully everywhere.

   So around 6 o'clock in the afternoon, in the middle of everyone's words and my words, the general rules of the New World Championship were finalized by everyone:

  One: The name of the competition is called "Evergrande Cup World Professional Go Championship". The competition is held once a year, and it does not cross the new year.

2: The total budget of the first competition is tentatively set at 5 million US dollars, of which the champion bonus is tentatively set at 1 million US dollars, the runner-up 400,000 US dollars, and then decreases in turn on this basis, that is to say, the top four will be 200,000, and the top eight will be 100,000. 50,000 for the top 16, 25,000 for the top 32... The scale of this tournament is tentatively set at 64, and it can be expanded to 128 in the future depending on the situation.

3: In fact, even considering the 128-player lineup of the tournament, the total prize money of the tournament will not be worth 5 million, so the rest of the total budget will be used for the promotion and promotion of the tournament, as well as the travel and entertainment costs for the participating players and staff. .

  Four: Five games will be used in the finals, three games will be used in the semi-finals, and the single-elimination system will be used for all the semi-finals and below. All competitions follow the rules of Chinese Go (including Japan, South Korea and other overseas regions), and all competitions use 3 hours per side plus 60 seconds per game time.

Five: Seed players and designated quota allocation plan. The competition established 16 seed players. At the same time, these 16 seeds are also all designated to participate in the competition. The specific allocation plan is 6 people from China, 4 people from Japan and South Korea, 1 person from Wanwan, and the last one. Zhang is regarded as a wild card, which can be handled flexibly by the sponsor. In addition, everyone else must start from the qualifiers.

  6: All the preliminaries will be held in China, hosted by the Chinese Chess Academy, and the preliminaries will consist of 2 women's groups, 2 amateur groups and an overseas group.

   Originally, after these terms were listed, it was almost the same. In fact, as long as the funds are sufficient, it is quite simple to hold a Go competition, which is simpler than most other competitive events.

   But just when Li Xiangping thought that the matter had been settled and was thinking about how to entertain Lao Xu, he found that everyone had no intention of getting up, especially President Hua and Xiao Hua, who all turned their attention to himself intentionally or unintentionally—

  Li Xiangping quickly reacted: Maybe in the minds of everyone, there is still a very important issue to be resolved, that is, the issue of whether or not to participate in this competition.

   After realizing that this might be the problem, Li Xiangping fell into deep thought again.

   Indeed, if you think about the problem from the perspective of others, this matter is indeed very important. You must know that this big dog is attracted by you, Li Xiangping. In other words, others are coming for you.

   If you don't participate, will others have opinions? Even decided not to do this game? So it's up to you, Li Xiangping, to solve this kind of thing yourself.

  Li Xiangping's thoughts turned sharply, and he soon made two decisions: First, he would definitely not participate in this competition--

After all, he just announced his withdrawal from the regular competition last year. If he announces his comeback in less than a year, the speed of this slap in the face is too fast. As a person with good face, of course Li Xiangping will not slap himself easily. s face.

  Secondly: Although I don’t want to participate in the official competition, considering that Lao Xu really introduced it by himself, it seems inappropriate to watch it completely, so we should consider participating in some form.

   But in what form? Li Xiangping had not thought about it in a short time.

   Like Mr. Wu Qingyuan in the "Ying's Cup", to be an honorary referee for life?

   Well, of course, this is also a kind of participation, but I am not the age of Mr. Wu, so this way of participating is not only boring, but also not suitable for me.

   Or learn from the confrontation between Wu Qingyuan and Japan's Beninfang? After the champion is decided in this competition, do you have an exhibition match with the champion?

   This way of participating is more appropriate, but with the "Phoenix Ancient City Cup" jewels in front, a similar exhibition competition will inevitably repeat.

"...Well, or according to the idea of ​​some sand sculpture book friends, add some elements of ancient chess to the exhibition game? It's a pity that this idea is not bad, but the operation is a bit difficult, pity me, Li Xiangping, who is just a fool, for a while. I don’t know where I can come up with a perfect solution. Forget it. If I can’t think of it today, I don’t want to think about it. Anyway, the qualifiers haven’t started yet, and there is still time to think about this problem…”

   After thinking of this, Li Xiangping would not continue to entangle on this side issue. He played a few random hahas, and then excused the meal time and invited everyone to transfer the battlefield.

Since there were people from the Go community present that night, we didn't talk much about other things. All the topics were revolving around Go, but we waited until the seventh day of the first lunar month the next day, and when my cousin Li Weiping arrived in the capital, the problem was solved. Eighty-eight.

   "Hey, Lao Xu is coming to you at this time, so don't worry, you have to give him a reassurance."

   "What, what are you worried about? What peace of mind?"

   Seeing Li Xiangping's appearance as a little white, Li Weiping began to teach like an elder brother, and he said to Li Xiangping:

"Xiang Ping, don't forget that we invested 500 million US dollars in him. It is no exaggeration to say that Evergrande's current size is not a small amount. It is easy to influence his stock price. If you let me analyze it. , I think Lao Xu is now afraid of both the stalk and the wolf. First, he is worried that we will sell the stock immediately, so according to the current market, once we do this, it will inevitably lead to market panic, and the stock will collapse soon. Second, he is actually worried that we secretly increase our holdings, after all, the second uncle is in this business, and he is stronger than him at the moment, he is still worried that we will swallow his company. "

   Li Xiangping smiled bitterly after hearing this, thinking that this is a Go theme, not a financial theme. I am a promising youngster who plays Go, why do I think about so many messy things:

   "Hehe, brother, you know we won't do this, so just say it directly, how can you give Lao Xu a reassurance?"

Li Weiping smiled and said: "Since he is afraid of both ends, he must give him two reassurance pills. I will give him the first one. I can talk to him and tell him that we are mainly investing. It is also the first time for us to be a white knight in this project, so even for the sake of fame, it is impossible to cheat him this time. Otherwise, how can we continue to be a white knight in the future? If he still doesn’t believe it, we can even consider signing a supplementary agreement with him. , agreed that if we want to sell the stock, we must know in advance that he knows, otherwise it can be regarded as invalid."

   "This is a sell-off situation, what if it's an accumulation?"

   "This second reassurance, I think it's best to ask the second uncle to go out in person. With the second uncle's ability, it is still easy to persuade an old Xu."

  Li Xiangping thought about it for a while, and felt that this method seemed feasible. The biggest advantage was that this method had nothing to do with him at all, and it did not affect his peace of mind and being a dummy at all.

   "By the way, brother, when are you going to find Lao Xu? Should you go on a blind date first or do business first?"

   As soon as he heard the "blind date", Li Weiping's face immediately collapsed, a look of life without love, and then immediately a look of righteousness and awe:

   "Of course it's the first thing to do. As for the blind date... Alas, you said that grandpa is so stubborn, how old is this, why are you still doing this?"

Li Xiangping smiled and said: "You are older than me. If this is to be placed in ancient times, you are the eldest grandson of our family. Of course, grandpa's requirements for you are different, so be obedient, and do whatever your elders arrange for you. Do it, maybe this time you will really meet the right eye.”

   "How can this be possible."

  Li Xiangping looked at his cousin with a smile, and said in his heart that you should not be arrogant now, maybe in a few days, you will tell me what true fragrance is.

  The next thing went very smoothly. On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Li Weiping and Lao Xu met and sent the first reassurance pill smoothly.

   On the ninth day of the first lunar month, under the arrangement of Li Xiangping, the local tyrant Li also met with Lao Xu.

   What Li Xiangping did not expect was that after the two profiteers met, they had a tendency to meet each other very much.

   is not the real cooperation between the two companies, but how to secretly collude and how to set up the bid together when negotiating to acquire land all over the country.

  Li Xiangping shook his head secretly after hearing this--don't think that you can only build a project to build a bid, in fact, you can also build a real estate and land.

   The only difference between the two is that it has always been illegal to do project bidding.

   As for the real estate bidding, it is still legal these days. In real history, it will not be illegal until 10 years later.

   Not only is it legal these days, but the main force of doing so is actually a Chinese name, so Li Xiangping doesn't have to worry that the two big profiteers will have an accident now.

   It is precisely because the two profiteers met very happily, which led to the smooth progress of the "Evergrande Cup".

  On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, Comrade Xu, in order to show his sincerity, sent a deposit of 400 million to the Chinese Chess Academy—

   Of course, no one at the Chess Academy knew that 300 million of the 400 million actually belonged to Li Xiangping.

   was lent to Lao Xu by Li Xiangping at the behest of his old man.

  Li Xiangping felt a little bit of a loss, because he won the 300 million in Haojiang, which made him embarrassed to receive Lao Xu's interest.

   Now that the money is in place, the Chess Academy will hold a press conference the next day, announcing the official establishment of the "Evergrande Cup World Professional Go Championship", and the competition will start within a month.

   After being busy with this matter, Li Xiangping originally wanted to rest for a few days and eat his cousin's melon by the way. However, on the 14th of the first month, President Hua called him again to the chess institute.

   "The people from the Phoenix side of Hunan Province are here, and I want to talk to you about the special plan for today."

"Oh."
