After the press conference, the news spread all over the world on this very day.
Because of Soft cloud, the controversy surrounding the suspension of the competition was finally resolved. Many domestic media outlets placed this news on the sports headlines.
And the news quickly spread overseas, shocking the international Go world!
The YY Cup was worth 1.8 million RMB! It was even more attractive than the Samsung Cup.
Go masters from Korea, Japan, and many other countries and regions all signed up to participate!
Go masters from all over the world shouted that they wanted to go to China and participate in the YY Cup!
As time was tight, the registration for the competition was about to close. Those Go players who did not want to participate in the competition in China could not wait to sign up!
The next day, President Li Guodong received many applications for the competition.
He counted and saw that the top 20 Go masters in the world were all here!
This was unprecedented. In the past, they did not even turn up when there were nine bulls. But this time, they turned up because of the prize money!
Feeling the unprecedented grandeur of this competition, Li Guodong was grinning from ear to ear!
…
A week later, the first YY Cup Go Competition began!
This was a Go competition organized by China's National Qiyuan and sponsored by YY.
What was different from the past was that this time, the top players from all over the world were here, including the world's number one Go master!
The venue was Thousand Gold Hotel.
At the entrance of Thousand Gold Hotel, a colorful banner was hung: "Celebrating the grand opening of the first YY Cup Go Competition!"
Seeing the world's top players arrive, Li Guodong kept a straight face and warmly welcomed them.
The venue was very lively and filled with joy!
Fang Tian arrived. He wore a white T-shirt and jeans and walked into the hotel.
"Mr. Fang, it's all thanks to you. Without you, how could there be such a grand occasion? "Li Guodong walked over with a smile.
"Is everything ready?" Fang Tian asked.
"Everything is ready." Li Guodong smiled and nodded. "There will be an opening ceremony later. Please come on stage to speak."
At this moment, the Go players from China's National Qiyuan arrived.
Zhao Xiaonan walked into the hotel with a backpack and saw President Li Guodong talking and laughing with a young man. She was very curious. Who was that young man? Zhao Xiaonan immediately walked over and said to the president, "President, I'm here."
"Alright." Li Guodong nodded.
Zhao Xiaonan glanced at Fang Tian and asked, "Who is he?"
Li Guodong chuckled. "Xiao Nan, do you still remember? You played chess with someone online and lost to someone? "
"How can I not remember?" Zhao Xiaonan gritted her teeth when she remembered.
Li Guodong smiled and asked, "He is the Chess Heaven Sage?"
Damn, it's actually him! Recalling that humiliating game, Zhao Xiaonan blushed and pointed at Fang Tian. "What are you doing here? This is a professional Go tournament. What is an amateur like you doing here? Scram! "
Li Guodong was shocked and was about to stop him.
However, once Zhao Xiaonan's anger flared up, it couldn't be stopped. She spat at Fang Tian. "Get out, get out, get out. This has nothing to do with you. Get out, get out … Ah! "
Before he could finish his sentence, Li Guodong slapped Zhao Xiaonan's back heavily, causing him to cry out in shock.
Li Guodong scolded, "You're the one who should get out. He's the only sponsor of the competition! The chairman of Soft cloud technology! "
"What? Chairman? "Zhao Xiaonan staggered from the slap and nearly fell flat on his face.
President Li was furious. Before he could finish introducing Fang Tian, Zhao Xiaonan had already lashed out at him.
What do you mean by scram? This has nothing to do with you? If Fang Tian was not involved, there would be no need for the competition to be held.
Zhao Xiaonan was dumbfounded. The players of National Qiyuan were also stunned as they stared at Fang Tian in a daze.
Fang Tian was really an amateur. His main occupation was even more impressive!
They could not beat him in chess, and in real life, their status could not compare to his!
President Li Guodong immediately apologized, "Fang Tian, I'm really sorry. I didn't inform you in advance and caused such a huge misunderstanding."
"It's fine." Fang Tian waved his hand and said calmly.
"Why aren't you apologizing?" Li Guodong looked at Zhao Xiaonan and said.
The winner was king, and Fang Tian was the master of the competition. Zhao Xiaonan had no choice but to obey.
He looked at Fang Tian and smiled awkwardly. "I'm sorry!"
"You still have to thank him," President Li said.
Was he bullied? He still had to thank him.
"Thank you. Thank you, God Fang!" Zhao Xiaonan said sincerely.
Fang Tian smiled and said, "President Li, bring me upstairs to have a look."
Li Guodong nodded and led him upstairs.
The Go competition was held in this hotel, so all the hotel rooms were redecorated that day.
Li Guodong led Fang Tian to Room 302 on the third floor.
There was no bed inside. It was a spacious room with a red carpet on the floor and Chinese landscape paintings on the walls.
Through the floor-to-ceiling glass, one could see the lake and mountains outside. It was quite enjoyable to play chess there.
In the middle of the room was a table with a chessboard on top of it.
In front of and behind the chessboard were two "bowls" with black and white chess pieces.
After exiting Room 302, Fang Tian and Li Guodong walked into Room 304.
There were people in the room. Two young people, one fat and one thin, were sitting on chairs and playing chess. There were three or four people watching them.
They had a piece of cloth with the Japanese flag on their right arm. There was no need to ask to know that they were Japanese.
The competition had not officially started yet. The fat and thin duo were training before the competition.
Fang Tian walked in and stood beside a handsome young man with an oval-shaped face. He watched him play chess.
The oval-faced man did not notice and was focused on playing chess.
He placed a white chess piece. Fang Tian immediately said, "That's not right. This chess piece should be placed at the intersection on the left."
The oval-faced man frowned and continued playing chess.
After the fat guy placed a black chess piece, he immediately placed a white chess piece.
"That's not right. This chess piece should be placed at the intersection on the left," Fang Tian pointed out again.
The Japanese guy was unhappy. The fat guy from Japan looked over and said, "Which country are you from? We're training. Please leave! "
Fang Tian said, "I'm from Huaxia. I saw that person playing chess wrong, so I pointed out his mistakes."
The fat guy was furious. He looked at his oval-faced companion, then looked at Fang Tian and said, "Do you know who he is? Does he need your guidance? "
"Oh? Who is he? I really don't know. "Fang Tian asked casually.
"Haha!" Suddenly, the Japanese guy in the room laughed.
The fat guy from Japan sneered and shook his head. "You don't even know him? Which planet are you from? Are you from Mars? "
