In October 1984, before the first China-Japan Go Arena Competition began, the Go community generally believed that the level of the island country was the highest.

The national players of Go are even more like that: Ida Kiki, Kobayashi Koichi, Kato Masao, Fujisawa Hideyuki, Takemiya Masaki, and Otake Hero are all top experts.

The survey before the start of the game also showed this: more than 3,000 people in the island country participated in the voting, of which only more than 20 were believed to be able to win.

Most of these more than 20 people are international students in China.

Even in the domestic survey conducted by "Go World", only 20% of the people believed that the Chinese team would win.

If not, how could Nie Zombie become famous? He is probably the case with the times.

Mr. Fujita Masaichi has liked Go since he was a child and considered himself an amateur expert, so he tempted Liu Qingshan to bet.

"Lottery, that's not a gambling, no, no."

Zheng Xiaoxiao kept waving her hands. She knew that the stubborn donkey's net worth could never be obtained. She borrowed the tuition from her every year.

Of course, Liu Qingshan knew about Masaichi Fujita's little tricks, so he simply took off the Jade Pig Dragon from his neck and said:

"Then I will use this to bet with Mr. Fujita, is that OK?"

A hint of greed flashed in Fujita's eyes, but on the surface he pretended to be a little reluctant:

"Your jade has a very poor texture. Forget it, I will reluctantly agree."

Humph, just secretly feel happy in your heart.

Liu Qingshan curled his lips, and then the two agreed to start the chess game after breakfast, and the winner was decided in one game.

This news soon spread on a small scale. The Go craze has not yet emerged, and many people don’t even know that there is such a chess game.

While having breakfast in the guesthouse, Liu Qingshan was drinking rice porridge when he saw Zheng Hongqi coming up with his rice bowl: "Qingshan, are you sure?"

Soon, several more people gathered around and asked Liu Qingshan in a verbal way.

"Xiao Liu, you must win, you can't embarrass us!"

Old Cheng still stretched out his big hand and patted Liu Qingshan on the shoulder hard.

Because the two sides of the game have special identities, the significance of this game has suddenly risen to the national height.

This is just a private game between the two chess players. If the national players of both sides play the ring match, the sensation and impact will be imagined.

"Director Cheng, if you say that, I'm under a lot of pressure."

Liu Qingshan replied with a smile, "Look at him eating oil cakes and drinking rice porridge, there was no trace of pressure."

Director Zhou also came up and said, "I heard that there is still a bet. The other party has paid 10,000 US dollars and must win. I will exchange it for you for RMB, and it will be all the same as one to three."

Of course, there were different opinions, so Leader Hu frowned: "Xiao Liu, whether it is a bet, no matter whether it wins or loses, the impact is not good, right?"

"Leader, it's okay. We are a private exchange without going through the official."

Liu Qingshan blinked at Leader Hu, and the meaning was very obvious: Leader, just pretend you don’t know.

Leader Hu really understood it and happily went to another table to have dinner.

The heads and minds of these units in the county do not have so many concerns. When they are together during festivals, who can't do anything?

Old Cheng said a few times: "Xiao Liu, can we place bets too? I'll bet on a steelmaker, and I'll bet on you to win!"

In addition to being more gambled, Director Cheng mainly wanted to express his support for Liu Qingshan in this way.

"Old Cheng, you are still the director. I will pay the yuan to win by betting on Qingshan!"

Director Zhou took out a picture of great unity and slapped it on the table.

Others also contributed money, but of course Liu Qingshan confiscated it. After thanking him for a while, he finished his breakfast lively.

Everyone was busy with their own things, only Zheng Xiaoxiao came to Liu Qingshan. Today was a rest day, so she didn't go to school and wanted to be the referee for Liu Qingshan.

What if the other party loses and cheats, she doesn't want anything like "a game that has not been played" to happen again.

The match between the two sides was held in a room in the guesthouse. Masaichi Fujita also called a female assistant, and there was also an interpreter present. There was really no one on the official side.

There were staff from the guesthouses who went to the county’s cultural and sports bureau to borrow chessboards and pieces. Before the Go craze became popular, these things were really hard to find.

In addition, we also brought two special game timers, which are the ones that stop the watch as soon as you press it.

Originally, when I heard the news, Director Lu of the Cultural Center had to bring people to help. After all, this kind of thing was also a cultural exchange activity between the two countries.

As a result, the staff told him: Japanese merchants placed a bet of 10,000 US dollars.

In this case, Director Lu felt it was inconvenient to participate, and he could only be secretly shocked: Ten thousand US dollars, what a big bet!

At 9 a.m., the door of the competition room was closed and the competition officially began.

Although others did not participate in this game, it does not mean that they did not pay attention. On the contrary, those who know the news are all thinking about this matter.

Betting is one aspect, and the most important thing is that it is related to the sense of national honor, and no one wants Liu Qingshan to lose the game.

Even Leader Hu, Zheng Hongqi and others were busy drafting contracts, and they were also paying attention to this place and asked the waiters in the guesthouse from time to time for news.

However, the door was closed all the time. Except for the people in the room, no one else got any news. Even the waiter was allowed to send tea.

Everyone's heart was like twenty-five little rats crawling in, which was so squeaking their hearts.

An hour passed, at 10 o'clock in the morning, and there was no other movement in the room except for the occasional sound of sex.

Two hours passed, at 11:00 a.m., the room was gone and there was a quiet moment.

Three hours passed, and it was about to twelve o'clock in the afternoon. The door finally opened. Fujita Masaichi's female assistant ran out in a panic, and the translator followed behind him:

"Oxygen, fast, Mr. Fujita needs oxygen!"

It's lunch time now, and those who are following this game are basically gathering here.

After hearing the translation's explanation, people were also shocked: Foreign businessmen must not have problems here!

However, only the hospital has oxygen inhalation equipment. County Magistrate Wang hurriedly said, "It's better to send Mr. Fujita to the hospital as soon as possible?"

Old Cheng and the others next to him were all happy, and Old Cheng quietly clapped everyone with high fives, keeping hesitating:

"It's so bad that my opponent is exhausted. This kid Aoyama is so awesome!"

After saying that, they remembered something: "No, it's not long-distance running, why can you still play chess without oxygen?"

"The brain is very nervous, just like the machine keeps running at high speed and will get heat."

Director Zhou explained to him, and then he saw the pale face of Fujita Masaichi was helped out and sent directly to the hospital.

It was not until this time that Liu Qingshan slowly walked out of the room, and Zheng Xiaoxiao, with a red face, was completely excited.

"Win?"

A dozen voices asked almost at the same time.

Liu Qingshan nodded with a smile.

Go is one of his hobbies. When he was in college, he was in full swing in the Chinese-Japanese Go arena, so he fell in love with this. He is definitely a master in his amateurs.

Moreover, he is familiar with the development and changes of Go over the decades, and his ideas are so broad that he has been out of Fujita several streets.

This guy actually took the initiative to challenge him. Isn’t that rats fight with cats? Isn’t it just a search for abuse?

The reason why the competition took so long was mostly because Masaichi Fujita was thinking. In the end, this guy was embarrassed and angry, and he was indeed using his brain too much, resulting in a lack of oxygen in his brain, so he was sent directly to the hospital.

In the end, this game was not completed, and it really became a game that was not finished.

However, if you know a little about Go, you can see that Liu Qingshan is bound to win.

In addition, Fujita Masaichi gave up the competition, so of course the winner was Liu Qingshan.

After listening to Zheng Xiaoxiao's vivid talk about the game, everyone couldn't help but cheer, and Lao Cheng even raised his voice: "Waiter, you must celebrate with the wine!"

As a result, County Magistrate Wang waved his hand: "When I finish this matter, I will accompany you to have a drunken time."

The county magistrate said, of course, the wine could not be drunk, and people turned to another matter. Director Zhou came to Liu Qingshan and said, "That ten thousand dollars..."

"What about this, what about this!"

Zheng Xiaoxiao excitedly took out a thick stack of Franklins. She was also a chess since elementary school. At first, she was worried about Liu Qingshan.

However, after more than twenty steps, she was like Fujita and couldn't understand Liu Qingshan's way at all.

When she finally collected the bet, she was a little rude and asked her for it directly from her assistant.

He handed the money to Director Zhou and exchanged it for him. Zheng Xiaoxiao still couldn't hide his excitement and told the story of "Sheng Tomb" vividly:

"During the Tang Dynasty, the prince of Fusang sent a Tang envoy to the court. This prince specialized in Go and was the first in Fusang. He offered to fight against the Tang Dynasty's number one master."

"At this time, the great Tang Dynasty player named Gu Shiyan, played chess with the prince. At first, it was hard to distinguish. When it reached the 33rd move, it used the exquisite tricks of suppressing the gods, forcing the prince to vote for the loss."

Zheng Xiaoxiao's voice is very nice and the story is very attractive. Everyone listened with relish. After finishing the talk, Zheng Xiaoxiao said excitedly:

"We can't understand Sanfeng's chess moves today, and they have the power of Gu Shiyan's decisive head!"

Everyone also clapped and laughed with fun, only Liu Qingshan shook his head: "I can't compare to Gu Shiyan. This Mr. Fujita is not a prince, hahaha."

By the afternoon, Director Zhou handed over the exchanged 30,000 yuan to Liu Qingshan.

Liu Qingshan couldn't help but feel very happy.

I was short of money at hand, so a foreigner traveled thousands of miles to China to give him money. What kind of spirit is this? This is the great internationalist spirit!

The last time I went to Chuncheng, I almost spent all the 10,000 yuan from Hou San. Liu Qingshan had no money at all, so he wanted to maintain the current scale.

I never expected that if I made 30,000 yuan so soon, I would invest in it. Anyway, it would be a business that would make sure to make a profit and never lose money.

Liu Qingshan was thinking about it beautifully, and he heard a light cough coming from beside him:
Chapter completed!
