Chapter 2439
was filmed.
The Workers' Stadium, which can seat over a thousand people, has been quite popular lately.
The first National Players Tournament was held in May, and the winner was He Ping's senior, Nie.
According to He Ping, if he hadn't left the Go team, he might have participated in this competition.
The champion receives no prize money, but receives a daily allowance of two yuan.
Basically, a few people are selected to form a "national team circle", then they play a round-robin tournament to determine the challenger, and finally challenge the defending champion.
This is an old event; it was first held in the 1960s.
However, there had been a long hiatus before. Last year, He Ping and his team's match against Xiao Rizi in Shanghai garnered a lot of attention.
This year marks the resumption of the competition, making it the first edition since the reform and opening up.
There is also a news chess tournament to be held in August, which is co-organized by the Go Association and "New Sports" magazine.
That's a bit too commercialized.
The prize money for the champion is very high, reportedly fifty yuan.
That's right, it's fifty.
However, in the final rounds, the match fee for each game is around ten yuan.
This is the information that He Yuzhu found out.
Therefore, compared to the 10,000 yuan prize offered by PP Doors, this semi-commercial competition seemed somewhat insignificant.
It's no wonder that from the sports commission to various local authorities, no one agreed with the CNC Academy's suggestion that the bonuses belong to individuals.
If we really did things the way He Yuzhu suggested, who knows how many big shots would be unearthed.
Basically, it's excluding advertising revenue.
He Yuzhu believes that ticket revenue could support a Go competition.
For example, the preliminary rounds in Beijing had over a thousand seats in the Workers' Stadium.
He Yuzhu, based on his own understanding, put up a sign and specially invited two old men to come and explain the score to everyone.
One camera shoots from both ends.
This has nothing to do with tickets.
But tickets were only 50 cents each, and He Yuzhu saw that quite a few people had come in to watch.
There must be at least four or five hundred.
Everyone should bring some tea, but young people naturally tend to buy more soda.
This is another source of income.
In other words, after deducting advertising sponsorships and venue labor costs, the total cost of a single match is calculated as follows:
Ticket revenue alone amounts to two or three hundred.
The organizers provide professional chess players with a subsidy of two yuan per game during the preliminary rounds.
As long as you can enter the knockout stage, you will receive a subsidy of ten yuan per game.
The two elderly gentlemen who analyze brilliant chess games receive a subsidy of two yuan per day.
Add to that the hefty prize money for first, second, and third place, and the attraction is absolutely irresistible.
Although the participating chess players knew that even if they won the championship, the prize money would be given to their employers for redistribution.
But the audience doesn't know that.
Those watching the game live and those watching it on television.
I was hoping to see for myself the so-called "golden house in books".
If one could become a millionaire through playing chess.
It's estimated that many families would be willing to buy their children a Go set and force them to memorize the game records every day.
If you can't recite it, beat them up and slap them hard across the face.
Thinking of that scene, He Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh.
"Dad, the soda's here." The refined and composed He Ping walked over carrying three bottles of soda.
Today was a match featuring He Pingyuan's teammate, and it happened to be Sunday, so He Yuzhu dragged him over to watch.
As for why there are three bottles of soda, well, there are also little bugs.
In He Yuzhu's opinion.
Although He Ping paid a considerable price for Go, his departure from his original workplace and subsequent complete disregard for the field can be seen as a form of escapism.
At this critical juncture, it was time for He Yuzhu, the elderly father, to step in.
He Yuzhu is very grateful that he was involved in every stage of his son's growth.
Of course, my daughter is a little short of that.
Like now, He An hasn't mentioned He Yuzhu in his letters for a long time. Except for the last few letters, when he says hello to his father.
The rest of the text consists of her various conversations with her mother.
He Yuan used to be quite close to He Yuzhu.
But her personality changed after she got married and had children.
Now she likes to get together with Yushui to gossip, or to share parenting tips with Liu Ting.
Every time He Yuan takes the initiative to talk to He Yuzhu.
Then he would have to be a little more cautious.
That girl was definitely thinking of tricking him.
However, He Yuzhu watched as the little bug in the dress followed He Ping eagerly.
But I discovered that I had miscalculated the accounts again today.
Damn, he accidentally became the third wheel.
"Father?" He Ping couldn't help but ask, seeing his father staring blankly into space.
"cough……
Let's go in!
"There's no popcorn bucket, it's missing something to enjoy watching the game!" He Yuzhu couldn't help but mutter.
Although he knew that what he said made no sense.
They're playing chess quietly.
He sat in the front row, munching away on popcorn.
If the camera captures this, it will be a disgrace to the School of CNC Machining.
If, years from now, someone posts today's video footage online...
Wouldn't that become a monster?
As for why He Yuzhu sat in the first row...
He's already sponsored 1.5 million, and there are still hardly any free tickets?
He Yuzhu walked into the venue and sat in the first row.
He Ping and Xiao Chongzi sat down on either side of him.
He Yuzhu coughed and said, "You two, go and sit in another seat."
A corner where no one is is fine too.
"Maybe a leader will come over and speak to me soon."
He had a very serious expression on his face.
But he knew all of this was nonsense. What leaders would come over for just a qualifier?
Even with a camera, it won't record the whole thing.
Instead, they discover some exciting matches, take a quick snapshot, add some commentary, and add some material.
But what could He Yuzhu say?
Keep your young children as far away as possible, preferably hiding in a corner to hug and kiss each other.
That's too unserious.
"Oh!" He Ping was a little confused. His father was acting really strange today. It was He Yuzhu who invited him to watch the Go competition.
He Ping knew that his biological father was trying to persuade him.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the scene, He Yuzhu refused to sit with him.
How do we do ideological work on this?
Could it be telepathic communication?
He led the little insect to the back, and when he felt the path was difficult...
He Ping even knew to reach out and hold the little bug who was dressed as a lady today.
He Yuzhu glanced at his children and, seeing that He Ping wasn't a blockhead, couldn't help but chuckle.
Although he couldn't see the little bug's expression, he could guess that the girl would blush when her hand was held.
That's great!
This feels more like being in a relationship!
Of course, when He Yuzhu was thinking about these things, he had already forgotten about the little fourth brother complaining to him.
According to Xiao Lao Si, the bugs hit him so hard that his head was covered in bumps and it hurt even when he slept.
He Yuzhu, that old man, would definitely not interfere in his sister-in-law disciplining her brother-in-law.
He held a bottle of ice-cold soda in both hands and blew a big breath into the straw.
The gurgling sound was particularly jarring in the quiet space.
The cameraman, who had just turned on the camera and was setting it up, heard the noise and immediately pointed the lens in their direction. (End of Chapter)
