When he returned home in the evening, Qiu Shui received a call from Xia Canyang. I want to meet for morning tea tomorrow and talk about the game company.
Qiu Shui thought that Zhou Hao and Zhang Jiayun also wanted to invite him to dinner tomorrow, so he thought about inviting them together.
I made an appointment with all three of them to have morning tea together tomorrow.
Young people’s morning tea doesn’t start until 10 o’clock.
Qiu Shui slept in for a long time before getting up to brush his teeth. Then Zhang Jiayun came to pick him up.
Living close to him has its advantages. At least, Zhang Jiayun can pick him up on the way to have morning tea.
Xia Canyang learned from his cousin Zhao Rongrong that Qiu Shui and Liang Liang and three of his friends had made a fortune.
Coincidentally, Zhang Jiayun also posted on his Moments yesterday, saying that he had made a windfall. There's just no explanation.
Xia Canyang felt that this was too much of a coincidence, so he went straight to Zhang Jiayun to question him.
Zhang Jiayun thought that the matter was over, and Qiu Shui didn't ask him to hide it. So I told Xia Canyang.
When Xia Canyang found out that Qiu Shui brought Zhang Jiayun and Zhou Hao to invest and tripled their investment in three days, he was so envious that he almost drooled.
I only learned from Zhou Hao that Qiu Shui brought Zhang Jiayun to invest just because Zhang Jiayun broke a watch and he wanted compensation. And Zhou Hao brought him along because he was present at the time.
According to what Qiu Shui said at the time, it seemed that he was not planning to bring anyone else besides the two of them.
Xia Canyang calmed down a little.
He just regretted it. If he had known that Zhang Jiayun would ask him out for dinner that night, he would have gone with him.
Forget about overtime work.
Unexpectedly, I missed this opportunity to make a fortune.
But Xia Canyang was also smart. He knew that as long as he followed Qiu Shui, maybe he would get the chance to make a fortune next time.
So just pretend it never happened.
But when he learned that Zhang Jiayun and Zhou Hao were planning to invite Qiu Shui to dinner, he also came up with an idea.
Using the game company's affairs as an excuse, he invited Qiu Shui to have morning tea.
Unexpectedly, Qiu Shui actually invited the three of them together.
However, they didn’t expect such a coincidence that they met He Bing and Bao Yingyuan while having morning tea.
So, when Qiu Shui and Zhang Jiayun arrived, they found that there were already four people sitting at the table.
It was just morning tea together, Qiu Shui didn't think it mattered, he knew both of them anyway, and it wasn't his treat.
This morning tea also solves the problem of lunch.
Qiu Shui was so satisfied with the meal that he even skipped lunch.
After eating and drinking, Xia Canyang briefly told Qiu Shui about the new game developed by the game company that was ready to be promoted and launched online.
Because the funds were in place, the newly developed game was also completed in one step. You can now promote it online.
Qiu Shui didn't understand these things, so he said that he would not interfere in these matters and let Xia Canyang take full responsibility.
At this moment, a news broadcast was broadcast on the TV on the wall of the restaurant.
"Registration for the Hualong Cup Go tournament, which has attracted widespread attention from all over the country, closed yesterday. The number of applicants for this tournament has reached an astonishing 263,685. Among them, the number of applicants from overseas is as high as 48,600. This is the largest and most attended Go tournament in China, and even in the international Go tournament."
"The Hualong Cup preliminaries will start on the 25th of this month. There are competition venues in 75 cities across the country. Players who register will be automatically assigned to the venue in the city where they registered, or in an adjacent city."
"There are so many people participating in the Go Hualong Cup this year?"
Qiu Shui had only heard of the Hualong Cup Go Tournament before, which is an official Go tournament held in China.
Qiu Shui didn't pay much attention to Go, so he had only heard about it but had not understood it in depth.
But I never expected that there would be 260,000 people participating in this competition.
Moreover, more than 40,000 foreigners have also signed up.
Is this competition a little too grand?
After Bao Yingyuan stuffed a mouthful of soft cake into his mouth, he continued, "The main reason is that the prize money for this Hualong Cup is too high. And unlike before, it is not limited to professional chess players, and there is no restriction on nationality. So of course there are more participants."
Although they had already eaten and drunk their fill, Bao Yingyuan still ordered another piece of cake and two other plates of desserts.
He Bing at the side couldn't stand it anymore, "Bao Yingyuan, look at your three-layer chin and your eight-month-old belly. If you eat any more, you will really turn into a pig."
Bao Yingyuan counterattacked: "You are the one who turned into a pig. I am blessed to be able to eat. I think you are just jealous of me. Look at you, what's the point of eating so much? You don't gain weight. It's all in vain."
Bao Yingyuan inherited his father's obesity gene, and he also loved eating sweets since he was a child, so he is so fat.
On the contrary, although He Bing doesn't eat as much as Bao Yingyuan, his appetite is also quite big.
Unfortunately, no matter how much He Bing eats, he just won’t gain weight. He was tall and had no flesh on his body, making him look like a bamboo pole.
If a girl had this physique, she would be extremely happy.
But when it comes to men, it’s not so nice.
After all, as a man, who doesn’t want to have a strong body and a perfect body with clear muscle lines!
After Bao Yingyuan looked down on He Bing, he continued, "I heard that the Hualong Cup is to select capable Go players to represent the country in the international Go competition next year. Therefore, the country has attracted a lot of sponsorship from outside. Among them, Longteng Company directly sponsored 50 million Chinese yuan."
Zhang Jiayun also knew about this. "Longteng Company sponsored 50 million Chinese Yuan, Longxiu Company sponsored 30 million Chinese Yuan, and other companies also sponsored a lot of money. Anyway, I heard that the sponsorship fee for this competition alone has reached 130 million."
"So many people, most of them are here for the high prize money! The champion will get 50 million yuan, and even the runner-up will get 10 million yuan. Even ordinary people, as long as they know how to play Go, want to try their luck."
"Hey Jiayun, you sound quite resentful when you said that!" Xia Canyang winked at Zhang Jiayun.
"Go, go, go." Zhang Jiayun waved his hand and said, "You know that my great grandfather and my grandfather love playing Go the most. My cousin Zhang Jiatai also participated in the Hualong Cup this time. So my grandfather also forced me to sign up."
The Zhang family, where Zhang Jiayun currently belongs, is a branch of the Zhang family, a large family in Kyoto.
Zhang Jiayun’s grandfather and the current head of the Zhang family are brothers.
Zhang Jiatai is the eldest grandson of the current head of the Zhang family and is 28 years old this year. According to seniority, Zhang Jiayun should call him cousin.
Xia Canyang asked: "I remember your cousin is a professional chess player, right? What level is he now?"
Qiu Shui asked Zhang Jiayun in surprise, "Is your cousin a professional chess player?"
Professional Go players are absolutely rare in China.
Previously, there was an age limit for the Go ranking tournament.
In the past two years, after China relaxed the age limit, many Go masters have emerged.
However, the number of people who can be promoted each year is limited, and every year there are thousands of people trying to cross this narrow bridge. In the end, only 44 people can reach the finish line.
Now Zhang Jiayun suddenly said that his cousin was a professional chess player, which really surprised Qiu Shui.
Zhang Jiayun replied: "Yes, my cousin is now a professional 6th dan. If he can win the Hualong Cup this time, he can be promoted directly to 9th dan."
"I think it's a bit risky." Zhou Hao said, "There is no age limit for participating in the Hualong Cup this time. There must be a lot of professional chess players, not only from our country, but also from abroad. There may be a lot of 9th dan participating. Your cousin is only a professional 6th dan, it is almost impossible for him to win the championship."
"I think what Haozi said makes sense. It's impossible for your cousin, let alone you. So, let's just go and join in the fun and be there." Bao Yingyuan patted Zhang Jiayun on the shoulder.
Zhang Jiayun: "We?"
Bao Yingyuan: "Yes, we, Haozi and I also signed up, didn't you know?"
Zhang Jiayun was stunned. "I don't know. You didn't tell me! Why did you participate?"
Bao Yingyuan said: "I was also forced to go by my father. He signed up and forced me to go with him."
Zhou Hao said: "I am here for interest and hobby. You know, it's rare that this competition has no occupation or age restrictions. I just want to join in the fun."
Qiu Shui smiled and said, "What a coincidence, you guys have also signed up to participate."
Zhou Hao and the others were stunned, and then asked in unison: "Mr. Qiu, have you signed up too?"
"Yeah." Qiu Shui nodded. "I signed up two days ago. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. You guys are also participating in this competition. That's perfect. I have company."
Qiu Shui really didn't expect that Zhou Hao and other rich second-generations would also participate in the Longhua Cup competition.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Qiu also likes to play Go." Zhang Jiayun really didn't expect this. After all, there are not many young people who like to play Go now, but there are a lot of people who like to play games.
Qiu Shui said modestly: "I just wanted to join in the fun."
"Haha, that's really a coincidence. There is a chess hall nearby. Mr. Qiu, would you like to go play a couple of games later?" Zhang Jiayun made an invitation.
"I'm busy with other things these days, so I may not be able to go later." Qiu Shui has already planned everything, and today's study tasks have not been completed yet! After completing the learning tasks, prepare to brush up on your Go experience.
Originally, after he got the Master Card, he thought he had a great chance of winning the championship.
However, after listening to what Zhou Hao and the others said just now, Qiu Shui secretly sighed in his heart.
There was actually a professional ninth-dan player participating in this competition. With his current chess skills, he might just be able to compare with the professional players. It's impossible to win the championship.
It seems that I have to start gaining experience after I go back.
There are several Go websites on the Internet, and there should be quite a few people on those websites.
There is no better place to gain experience than those websites.
