Chapter 53 53. I wanted to scold him loudly (double monthly ticket! Please vote!)

"I lost."

Xiao Xiao sighed and chose to stop the clock and admit defeat.

Starting from a small flaw in move 105, Ying Jie restored the situation with sharp attacks. In the end, Xiao Xiao thought it was his black move that was good, but in the end he was completely defeated by Ying Jie's move 194.

Thinking back to several games with Ying Jie, the opponent showed flaws and he was unable to effectively exploit them. The opponent always refused to freeze, and any small mistakes he made would be magnified and severely punished by Ying Jie.

It’s different from last time. There is already a huge gap in chess skills. This guy is getting stronger and stronger.

Xiao Xiao looked at Ying Jie and didn't know what to say. Did this guy realize his terrifying growth rate?

"The opponent in this competition is my good friend Xiao Xiao. I made mistakes and was lucky enough to win and advance to the top 16. The world of winning and losing is still very cruel. I hope we can meet less often in competitions in the future."

After the game, several media arranged interviews. As one of the winners, Ying Jie also accepted interviews from several media.

The interview was also very quick. After all, none of them are high-level chess players. Even the newcomer Wang Fan Ruoyu's name is not well-known among most chess players, let alone Ying Jie, who has not yet determined his level.

After an interview lasting more than ten minutes, only a few words may appear in the text, or even less.

Any industry is the same pyramid, the winner takes all, and the bottom can only get a small part.

After the interview, the reporter didn't say any polite words and left directly with the equipment.

Ying Jie took his backpack and prepared to go back to the dojo. The competition venue was not far from the dojo. Ying Jie, who had not received the bonus yet, estimated his wallet.

I think I can still catch the evening bus at this time, so I plan to take the bus back.

But at this time, a middle-aged uncle came over.

"Hello, this is player Ying Jie! Do you have time to chat for a while? I am the manager of the Shanxi Hongyang Coal Mine Team. We are a second-division team and are recruiting some outstanding chess players to join.

Our coach has read your chess records and feels that you have great potential. Can we have a chat if you have time?"

Hearing that it was the team besieging B, Ying Jie declined: "Sorry, I have to catch the bus, so I may not have time."

The middle-aged man smiled when he heard this and said: "It's okay, if you are in a hurry, my car is parked outside and I can take you there.

Everyone give each other a chance, maybe you will be interested in our team."

Ying Jie thought for a moment, out of vigilance, considering that the other party might be a liar.

It's still a bit unsafe to take the other person's car back, but if the other person says so, we can still have a little talk.

You can also take this opportunity to inquire about the treatment of Go teams in this world. Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. It is also good to get some information from the opponent.

"Let's find a coffee shop nearby to talk."

Ying Jie took a look at the time. If he couldn't catch the bus, he would take a taxi back then.

Anyway, I have advanced to the top 16, and I already have a guaranteed bonus of 2,000 yuan.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately grinned: "Okay, there is a coffee shop next door, you can go there and wait for a while.

I called my coach and asked him to come over so we could have a good talk."

"good."

Ying Jie nodded when he heard this, took his bag and ordered a glass of ice water at the street cafe and sat down.

Not long after, the middle-aged man came over quickly with another person: "Sorry, I'm a little late. Waiter, please bring three glasses of iced Americano."

Hearing this, the man standing next to the middle-aged man sat down on his chair and shook his head wildly: "No need, I can't get used to drinking this stuff.

Get a Coke, let's be real, coffee is too bitter."

"I don't need it either. Just drink ice water."

Ying Jie also refused the other party's coffee, and then set his sights on the man who came with the middle-aged man.

He looked like a middle-aged man about 40 years old. He was a little thin and had a lot of calluses on his hands. He looked like the kind of worker who does heavy physical work.

Wearing a shabby denim jacket, he was unshaven and had not been shaved carefully. He put his hands on the back of the chair and crossed his legs. The whole person exuded a casual atmosphere.

"Then a glass of iced Americano will be enough. Teacher Ying Jie, would you like some dessert? Tiramisu? After all, you have been playing chess all afternoon, so you must be hungry."

The middle-aged man was very attentive and meticulous in his work, but Ying Jie still declined his kindness: "No, just call me Ying Jie.

I haven’t asked you what your name is yet.”

"Look at my brain, I forgot to introduce myself.

My surname is Zhu, and my given name is Hongtao. Zhu Hongtao is the current manager of the Shanxi Hongyang Coal Mine Team. Next to me is the coach of our team, Long Yan 8th Dan. You should have heard of him."

Upon hearing this, Ying Jie immediately looked at this careless man.

Of course I have heard of him, a rather legendary player in the world of Go.

He was just an ordinary painter who was self-taught and missed the age limit for the regular dan. However, he later received guidance from others to participate in amateur competitions and won the rank of amateur 6th dan.

One time, there were two places for amateur players in the World Series, and Long Yan entered the World Series directly through the qualifiers.

Originally, the participation of amateur players in the World Series was purely a one-round tour. It was only to reflect the diversity of the competition that two places were given.

But Long Yan went all the way from the top 64 to the semi-finals of this competition, and in the eight-to-four match, he even defeated the favorite at the time, Gao Yongxia 9th Dan.

Because the two met only in this World Series, Long Yan has a 100% winning rate against Gao Yongxia to a certain extent.

Later, he participated in the World Amateur Go Competition and won the championship, and was awarded amateur 8-dan by RB.

The only pity is that he was not awarded the honor of being a professional player, but there is no doubt that he definitely has professional ninth-dan chess skills.

Looking at Ying Jie's expression, Zhu Hongtao knew that the other person knew Long Yan's story.

If you want to contact the other party, you must first make the other party believe in you, and bringing the coach here is to let the other party see the professionalism of your team.

Although there are few relevant reports about Long Yan, they can be found easily on the Internet, and Ying Jie already believes in the identity of the other party.

However, although Ying Jie was surprised by the legendary figure Long Yan, he still kept his head clear: "I don't think I have heard of your team."

"We are a newly formed team this year. Our main players are Gu Shaoshang 9th dan and Zhang Laoxi 7th dan. At the same time, we also signed this year's newcomer Wang Fanruoyu first dan."

Gu Shaoshang's 9th dan knows it himself, and he once won the right to challenge a celebrity. Zhang Laoxi's 7th dan was the champion of the China-Korea title bilateral competition the year before last, and his 4th dan was directly promoted to 7th dan.

Both of them are young, Zhang Laoxi is 20 years old in 7th Dan, and Gu Shaoshang is only 23 years old in 9th Dan. They are said to have the potential to win the world championship.

but……

"Didn't Fan Ruoyu sign a contract with the Jinling Yangtze Team in his early period?"

Ying Jie felt a little strange when he heard this. When he checked the opponent's information before, the news said that the opponent had signed a contract with a siege team.

"Hey, if the price is right, liquidated damages can also be paid."

Although he said that, when he heard that the opponent was a newly established second-division league team, Ying Jie still wanted to think more about it.

After all, there might be other teams contacting me later, so I can weigh it a bit, and there is no need to decide so quickly.

"Sorry, the team surrounding Yi..."

"If you are willing to sign the contract, the monthly basic salary is 7,000 yuan, and the signing fee is half a year's salary.

The salary is written in the contract and will be paid at the beginning of each month. It will never be in arrears, otherwise we will pay you liquidated damages, and the bonus for winning the game will be calculated separately."

"..."

The current time is now 2008, and there is no inflation yet.

Is he worthy of being the coal boss that everyone in the entertainment industry loves?

I originally wanted to yell at him that Go is an elegant sport.

But he gave too much...

Ps: Let me give you some science. How much does this Jaguar watch cost? When can I afford it for 1,500 full-time a month?

Thank you to the reader, Grandpa, for the 500-point reward from Jiang Yishu, thank you~
