After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

"finished?"

"ended."

Fang Yuan just nodded. This game was really interesting.

The reason why Toya Masao 9th Dan killed the dragon at the beginning of the game was because Zhan Lang did not see that the two pieces could be discarded, and the reason why Zhan Lang killed the dragon was also because Toya Masao 9th Dan did not see that the two pieces could be discarded.

This game of chess is really interesting.

In a sense, Go is really round.

"Well, this trip was in vain."

Fujii Hideaki stood up, patted his pants, and couldn't help shaking his head.

Fortunately, I didn't have too high expectations, so I wasn't too disappointed.

It's a wasted trip, so just think of it as a funded trip. I didn't spend my own money anyway, and I can avoid debt at the same time.

But it’s different for some other players on the Japanese team. Everyone came here with great expectations, but now everything is in vain.

Especially as attendees from sponsors, everyone looked unhappy. The people from the Japan Chess Association told them that they had to attend the closing ceremony and forcibly pulled them over, saying that representatives of sponsors must participate in the closing ceremony.

What about the closing ceremony?

You ate the closing ceremony for me?!

Kiyotaka Taguchi even wanted to find a hole to hide in. After all, it was he who organized this large-scale delegation, and he kept urging China to prepare for the closing ceremony. He had sent out countless faxes alone, and after they arrived, he kept urging them offline.

Now these actions were like one slap after another, slapping Kiyotaka Taguchi in the face across time and space.

Kiyotaka Taguchi only felt a burning pain on his face.

Katsu Takenouchi also looked unhappy. When the Japanese delegation was traveling, Katsu Takenouchi also had a competition, which caused a conflict in the schedule.

Originally, they didn't plan to let him come, but after Katsuya Takenouchi learned the news, he strongly expressed that he must come along.

How could I, as the head coach of Japan, be absent at such an important moment? I am the one holding the whip!

After the Japanese team set off, Takenouchi Katsuyuki also hurriedly finished the game, took a taxi and took the next flight to China.

Taking a taxi in Japan, especially a long-distance taxi, shows how much Katsuya Takenouchi takes this matter seriously.

You have to know that it is because taxis in Japan are too expensive and the trains stop running at night that a special film genre called "Aibutsu-ya" was derived.

Of course, this is just a joke. The taxi fare is naturally a drop in the bucket for a top-notch person like Katsuya Takenouchi.

However, although he came to China with a strong desire to attend the closing ceremony, he ended up returning empty-handed, which made Katsuya Takenouchi feel more uncomfortable than losing any money.

Therefore, frustration is bound to spread among the Japanese delegation. They originally came to attend the closing ceremony, but now they have witnessed two failures. This is enough to make the Japanese side depressed.

Hao Qiang looked at the gloomy faces of the Japanese delegation and walked over with a smile: "Everyone, there will be a meeting tonight. I will arrange someone to pick you up then."

The closing ceremony definitely cannot be held, after all, the Japanese team has lost two games in a row and the score is now 8 to 7.

However, due to Japan's previous urging, China still prepared all the activities and venues needed for the closing ceremony. These things could not be wasted, so they decided to hold the event in a different format.

And because the closing ceremony of the previous session was held in the Great Hall, in order to take into account the feelings of the Japanese side and prevent them from saying later that you made a big deal because you won, but you didn't take it seriously because we won, so the venue was chosen in the beginning.

However, because it was not the closing ceremony, the scale of the evening forum was reduced a lot, but it was much larger than the friendly dinner after the original game.

It’s just that the atmosphere at the friendly dinner after the game was always very good, but this time the atmosphere was obviously very solemn.

There was no way out. The faces of the dozen or so Japanese delegation members in the meeting hall were solemn, and Taiya Masao, the loser this afternoon, was silent. The negative emotions they exuded were enough to depress the atmosphere of the entire meeting hall.

Only Takemiya Masahira was slightly better. He was discussing with Zhan Lang whether there were any other noteworthy points in the afternoon's game.

Masahei Takemiya originally thought that 9th Dan Toya Masao still had some ways to survive, but Masahei Takemiya's ideas were also within Zhan Lang's calculations.

Zhan Lang had already prepared contingency measures to ensure that this method would result in greater losses.

After listening to this, Takemiya Masahiro also shook his head and sighed.

Listening to the two people discussing dozens of moves at a time, Hao Qiang, who is only half-baked, couldn't help but scratch his neck. Can you really think so much when you are playing against each other?
However, as the banquet began, Hao Qiang had no time to listen to other people chatting. He went on stage to deliver a speech as the Chinese representative. Because he was the winner today, Hao Qiang seemed very relaxed.

But when Japan came to power, problems arose.

Theoretically speaking, since the sponsor has come, the sponsor’s representative should go up and say a few words no matter what.

However, Murakami, as the representative of the sponsor, immediately asked Kiyotaka Taguchi of the Japan Shogi Association to speak.

Taguchi Kiyotaka was naturally unwilling and tried his best to refuse.

He also thought about letting today's contestant, 9th Dan Taiya Masao, come on stage to speak, but the other party replied in a heavy tone: "A defeated general, there is really nothing to say?"

Just like that, the entire Japanese delegation fell into a strange silence.

A situation where someone has to go up, but no one is willing to go up.

But there can't be no one who goes on stage to speak, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.

In the end, Kiyotaka Taguchi could only discuss with Hideaki Fujii to let him go up and say a few words. After all, he did not participate in the competition this time, so he could just go up and say a few words and then come down.

Fujii Hideaki was a little helpless when he heard this. He had come here to save face, but who knew that he would have to sell his face for these guys.

But there is no way; the Japanese delegation can't just stay here.

Fujii Hideaki had no choice but to go on stage and said jokingly: "It seems that I got lucky today. If Toya Masao had won today, I probably wouldn't have had a chance to speak.

Because Kiyotaka Taguchi, Katsuya Takenouchi and Mr. Murakami, the representative of the sponsor, had already prepared their speeches, but what is sad is that this little guy Zhanlang messed up all our expectations.

He is such a troublesome little guy, and people both love and hate him. "

Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but laugh.

Fujii Hideaki had no plans or preparations for speaking on stage, so he just improvised: "We have to admit that we in Japan may have underestimated Zhanlang's strength, so we had too high expectations for this closing ceremony.

Although I am the most pessimistic person in the Japanese delegation, I still didn't expect Zhan Lang to show such strong strength in this sentence.

Especially the double first in the upper right corner as a trap, which made the opponent lose more than he gained. This taught me a lot.

In this sense, the progress and improvement of Chinese players will definitely promote the development of Japanese Go.

So I want to say to the Japanese players after I return home: you have to work harder, otherwise it will be difficult to get past the battle wave in the challenge match. "

The Chinese side also burst into warm applause when listening to Fujii Hideaki's speech.

As an old friend of China, Fujii Hideaki not only has unreserved Go skills, but has also always provided positive support for the development of Chinese Go. Naturally, everyone is very grateful to this old friend.

PS: After winning countless runner-up titles, Ah Dang finally won a domestic championship title on his birthday, which is cause for celebration.

Don't accuse me of being a bad guesser anymore. Didn't my prediction party successfully advance two people? ...Although I didn't bet on Fox Coin in the end for other reasons, which was a huge loss.
