After dinner, the three of them took a car back to the villa.
After taking a shower, Qiu Shui immediately went online to check the club that Liang Zitao mentioned.
"Shengqi Club" is a club co-founded by Liang Zitao and Lou Yuchen.
They founded this club a year ago. The club now has a total of five chess players, all of whom are young players no older than eighteen years old.
Although this club was founded by two people, Liang Zitao is the main person in charge of this club.
Lou Yuchen is actually more of an investor and does not participate in management.
Last year, Shengqi Club participated in the Weiqi B tournament and only got third place. Can't enter the Weijia.
Only the top two teams in the second division are eligible to advance to the first division. Participate in the Weiqi League.
Next month, the new round of professional Go ranking tournament will begin. By then, many new chess players will be born.
Liang Zitao wants to attract investment in order to bring some fresh blood into the club. To attack the Weijia.
The information about the Shengqi Club on the Internet is quite detailed. After all, there is the reputation of Lou Yuchen, the chess god.
It’s a pity that although Lou Yuchen is one of the founders, he is not responsible for training the chess players in the club.
So, after failing to make it to the second division in the first year, two of the few chess players in the club were poached.
Now there are only three chess players left, not enough people to participate in the competition.
It is precisely because of this that Liang Zitao is anxious to find investment so as to attract more people.
"Wei Yi?"
Qiu Shui actually didn’t know much about these Go leagues, but he knew that every year the Go League competitions would be followed up in the news.
Especially in the past two years, as soon as the Weiqi League was launched, there has been overwhelming news about it.
Unexpectedly, Lou Yuchen and his club couldn’t even enter the Chinese Go League.
But I understand.
Although Lou Yuchen is very strong, it does not mean that the chess players in his club are also strong.
Moreover, so many chess players are born every year. Needless to say, the Weiqi League. The Weiqi League is full of blood and gore, and one needs to overcome many difficulties to win.
It is already remarkable that Shengqi Club was able to win the third place in the Weiqi League B.
Well, the two chess players who were poached were poached by the club that ranked first in the Weiqi League B.
After all, they can participate in the Chinese Weiqi League this year, and they are a big club.
It is understandable that those two chess players were poached.
However, those two players were the main player and second player of the club’s Weiqi League B.
This is a big blow to the Shengqi Club.
"This club doesn't even give face to the chess god Lou Yuchen, and poached players on their own. It seems that they have a very powerful background!"
Given Lou Yuchen's status in the Go world, poaching people from his club would be like a slap in his face.
Qiu Shui checked and found something.
He finally understood why the club was so arrogant.
It turns out that this is a club that uses the name of China but is actually a club for the people of Sakura Country.
It's called the Society Club.
The official registrant of this cooperative club is a Chinese.
But behind the scenes, those who are in charge of the club are all Japanese.
The real person in charge of the club is Yusuke Ichiro, the son of the previous chess god Yusuke Yamada.
Yusuke Ichiro inherited his father's Go talent and became a famous 9th dan in Sakura Country at a young age.
Originally, many people thought that he would be the next chess god.
Unexpectedly, the title of chess god was taken away by Lou Yuchen.
At the beginning, he lost to Lou Yuchen.
He regarded Lou Yuchen as his lifelong enemy.
He even publicly declared that he would definitely take this year's chess god title back from Lou Yuchen.
Therefore, it seems reasonable for him to poach people from Lou Yuchen's club.
Qiu Shui really didn't expect that there were so many grudges and hatreds in the Go world.
Setting up a club costs a lot every month.
Lou Yuchen hasn't participated in any competition for such a long time. Of course there will be no bonus.
So, it’s normal to have no money.
From the looks of it, even the main player and the second player of Shengqi Club had been poached. This year's Wei Yi League is probably in jeopardy.
Therefore, if they want to attract investment, it will be difficult unless Liang Zitao and Lou Yuchen personally participate in the competition.
But Lou Yuchen is a chess god, but he won’t even go to the Chinese Go League A, let alone the Chinese Go League B.
Liang Zitao is also a professional chess player of the eighth dan. If he participates in the Weiqi B tournament, he will only be accused of bullying the weak.
So it is not suitable to participate.
Among the existing chess players, the better ones basically have their own clubs.
Unless you spend a lot of money, it is impossible to recruit people.
Therefore, Qiu Shui analyzed that if Liang Zitao wanted people, he could only find new players from the qualifying tournament.
However, the strength of those chess players who have just been promoted is unknown.
Whether or not we can win the top two places in the Weiqi League is a difficult question.
Unless there is a very good chess player who can be the main general and lead those people.
But where can we find good and young chess players?
No matter from which perspective, investing in the Shengqi Club now is an unwise choice.
The thoughts in Qiu Shui's mind could not be hidden from the system.
The system popped up and asked: "Host, do you want to choose the Holy Chess Club for investment?"
"Yes, I did have this idea." Qiu Shui admitted it straightforwardly.
"Host, you have to think carefully. That club is half dead and there are not even any substitutes for the competition."
The implication of the system is very clear. If a club does not even have substitutes, it cannot even participate in the league.
If you invest in it now, it will be a losing business.
Qiu Shui's mission will definitely fail.
Although the system does not say it explicitly, it cannot say anything explicitly.
But the meaning of the words is already very clear.
Qiu Shui didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "If there is no substitute, then find one. If you can't find one, then poach one. Anyway, the qualifying tournament will be next month, and there will definitely be many new players. As long as there is money, other problems will not be a problem."
Doesn’t Qiu Shui understand what the system says?
He understands.
Assuming that he really invested in Lou Yuchen's club, with an investment of 10 million Chinese yuan, to complete the task, he must have a return rate of more than 50%.
In other words, if he invested 10 million, he must get a return of 15 million.
Fifteen million sounds like a lot.
However, don’t forget that when the task was released, it only said the return rate was over 50%. But it did not say whether 50% will be achieved in one year or 10 years.
There is no one in the club now, but as long as he invests money, he will definitely be able to find someone.
The current champion of the Weiqi B tournament will receive 5 million. The champion of the Weiqi League competition receives 10 million.
In addition to the Weiqi League A and Weiqi League B. There are many other Go competitions. And the bonuses are not low.
As long as the club can easily win a few championships, the return rate will definitely be there.
Of course, the most important thing is that Qiu Shui believes that Lou Yuchen has chosen to establish a club.
Then they would definitely not watch the club in such a half-dead state.
Well, one of the reasons was that Qiu Shui didn’t want him to sell the villa.
Who knows whether Lou Yuchen will come back to Kyoto after selling the villa.
As long as this villa is still here, Lou Yuchen will definitely come back.
"Host, have you really thought it through?" The system was a little anxious. "You have just checked the situation of that club. Are you really not going to think about it again? Weren't you very optimistic about Wen Guangyao before?"
"No, I've been blinded by Lou Yuchen's face, so I can't see anyone else. If this investment really loses money, I'll accept it. It's because Lou Yuchen has grown in my heart."
At this moment, Qiu Shui had the courage to love beauty more than power, as if he could willingly give up his more than 10 billion for the beauty.
The system was a little jumpy, "How can the host be tempted by beauty? You have to hold on, you have to stay calm."
Qiu Shui waved his hands, "I can't calm down. My mind is full of Lou Yuchen's handsome face. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to sleep. I need to conserve my energy. I have an appointment with Lou Yuchen to play chess tomorrow."
After saying that, Qiu Shui didn't care how much the system chattered and just blocked him directly.
The next day, Qiu Shui got up on time, changed into his sportswear, and after looking at the time, went out for a run.
When he just walked around to the road outside Villa No. 1, he saw Lou Yuchen, who was also wearing sportswear, and Liang Zitao, who looked listless and half-dead.
"Oh my god, Achen, if you want to run, just run. Why are you pulling me?" Liang Zitao was so sleepy now, and he was still wearing wrinkled casual clothes. It was obvious that he was dragged out of bed by someone.
Lou Yuchen said without even turning his head: "Life lies in movement."
Liang Zitao wailed, "Just let me go. I didn't go to bed until after 2 o'clock last night. You woke me up at 6 o'clock. This is not exercise. This is to kill me."
"If you don't want to go, then you don't have to go."
"ah?"
Originally Liang Zitao thought that Lou Yuchen was lecturing him again. He was mentally prepared, but he didn't expect that Lou Yuchen's attitude would suddenly change 180 degrees.
He thought that Lou Yuchen had a change of heart, or maybe the friendship over the years had made him soften his heart.
Look up and see, okay.
What a guilty conscience, what a soft heart.
That is putting love before friendship.
Qiu Shui, who was wearing a white sports suit, just happened to run across the road ahead. Lou Yuchen simply left him behind and started chasing after Qiu Shui.
The two were still talking and laughing.
Brother, please at least look back. Could you please make him a little more formal? After all, we have been friends for more than ten years.
However, Qiu Shui did not look back, and Lou Yuchen showed no sign of looking back at all. The two of them were running further and further away.
Behind the two of them, there were three bodyguards following Qiu Shui.
Only Liang Zitao was left standing there.
Fallen leaves were floating behind me and sad background music was playing.
