After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

"Mr. Ying Changqi! We in the Republic of Korea hereby issue a strong complaint. As participants in the finals, why should all the matches be held in China, where our opponents are? This is extremely disrespectful to us in the Republic of Korea!

Therefore, we strongly request that the venues for the next three games must be changed and held in our Republic of Korea!"

Upon hearing the appeal request from South Korea, both Ying Changqi, the sponsor, and Chen Long, the representative of the Chinese Chess Institute, looked unhappy.

All the entry procedures were clearly notified before the competition, and you didn't have any objections before. Why are you saying it's unfair and unjust now?

How can you ask to change the venue when you are about to lose the game? It would be unfair and unjust.

Aren’t you too shameless?
Looking at the two people with dark faces, the Korean representative also remained calm and collected.

"It's not that we want to force the venue to change. We are not considering the results of the game! We made this suggestion for the development of world Go and Korean Go!
Currently, the World Series are held in Japan and China, but there has never been a World Series in South Korea.

We in South Korea have just finished the Olympic Games. If the world championships are held in South Korea again, one of the finalists will be our South Korean player Cho Myeong-hoon.

This kind of enthusiasm will definitely set off a Go craze in South Korea and further promote the development of Go in South Korea.

I think Mr. Ying Changqi and Mr. Chen Long are both people who love Go, and they also truly want to promote Go in the world.

You can also see the benefits of holding the World Championship in Korea. I hope you can actively promote it. This will be a great thing for the world of Go!"

Hearing such a high-sounding reason from the other party's representative, even Ying Changqi, who was well-mannered, couldn't help but twitch his lips twice.

It's really high-sounding and can really put a label on someone!

As long as they disagree to hold the originally scheduled competition in South Korea, they will hinder the development of Korean Go and even the development of world Go.

This hat is really big!
No one in Hogwarts is as good at putting a hat on you!

Chen Long, as the official representative of the other Chinese team, also negotiated with the other team: "In any case, the second stage of the competition will be held tomorrow, so we must finish this competition first.

If the competition has not yet ended, we are negotiating whether the next stage will be held in Ningbo or somewhere else. "

According to the original arrangement of the competition, the first game will be held in Hangzhou, the second stage and the other two games will be held in Mr. Ying Changqi’s hometown Ningbo, and the third stage will be moved, but all the locations will be in China.

Mr. Ying Changqi actually originally wanted to hold the third stage in Taiwan, hoping that the final match of the world championship could arouse people's attention to Go on the island, and at the same time make the bugs lying inside feel a little sense of crisis.

But unfortunately, the people on Taiwan Island refused to give in, and because of Zhan Lang’s identity problem, they simply refused to let Zhan Lang in.

Now Chen Long’s method of dealing with the other party’s rogue behavior is very simple, that is to procrastinate!

Don't you want to move the competition to Korea? We neither agree nor refuse, let's finish the second stage first.

We had originally agreed to play two games in Ningbo in the second phase, so we finished them first. If the game is not over, we will negotiate again.

Chen Long's plan worked out very well. Zhan Lang now had the match point with a score of 2-0, and Cao Mingxun was obviously a little flustered today, while Zhan Lang showed superior wisdom and amazing chess skills.

Therefore, if the third game tomorrow goes as normal, Chen Long doesn't think there will be any accidents. The high probability is that Zhan Lang will win the game directly with a score of 3-0 and win the championship this time.

Then there will be no subsequent matches arranged for the third stage, and it will be nonsense to move any matches to South Korea.

This matter just passed naturally, what else does the South Korean side have to say?

You have already lost, what else is there to bet on?

Hearing this, the Korean representative immediately became anxious. Why move to Korea if we lose tomorrow? Isn’t the game over?

I want to move the competition to Korea. Isn't it because you can't beat me that you want to go to Korea? !

"Tomorrow is already match point. If something unexpected happens, there will be no subsequent matches, so we have to hold the next matches in Korea!
Please understand that this world championship final is very important to South Korea! Please don’t stop it! "

Seeing Korea clearly unwilling to entrust us, Chen Long couldn't help but shook his head: "The schedule we arranged before has been made public, and you have no objection. You are making this request now, which is really a bit unreasonable!

Not only did it disrupt our game schedule, but it also added a lot of costs to the game.”

"If there are any additional expenses during the game, we Koreans are willing to pay the extra costs!"

Hearing this, the South Korean representative did not hesitate at all.

If Cho Myung-hoon could represent South Korea and win the World Go Championship, South Korea would be more than happy to pay this cost.

Hearing this, Ying Changqi, who had been silent as a sponsor, also spoke up: "It's not that I don't want to hold the competition in Korea. First of all, I didn't expect Korea to make it to the finals of the world championship.

Another point is that your organizational ability in South Korea is really poor. If the finals were held in South Korea, I'm afraid it would be completely impossible to organize it, right?

If various unexpected situations arise at that time, I am afraid that it will bring some stain to the Ying Cup.

After all, the Olympics that just ended have already generated a lot of controversy and bad situations, right? "

What Ying Changqi said is very reasonable and well-founded. After all, the Korean Olympics has caused a lot of controversy even in South Korea.

Of course, the controversies at home and abroad are completely different. The just wars abroad are all about South Korea's various black whistles and messy off-the-board tactics.

To put it bluntly, the urine tests that the IOC conducts on the Chinese swimming team seven times a day, and even wakes you up at five in the morning, seem insignificant compared to those conducted at the Korean Olympics.

I will go there and beat drums and gongs in the middle of the night to prevent you from sleeping.

For top athletes, the difference in strength in most events is minimal. Sometimes the competition is not only about strength but also about who is in better condition on the day.

I will simply not let you be in a good state, and even destroy your mentality, leaving you no chance to perform at all.

Even if this can be attributed to Korean folk behavior, there is really no room for excuses for the various black whistles used by Korea in official matches.

Naturally, no one in South Korea thinks there is any controversy about refereeing fouls in the Olympics. After all, everyone in South Korea agrees that winning a gold medal is a skill, and if you can't win it, there's no need to look for any objective reasons.

What's so slow about Korean taxis? Is it always this speed? Is it your own fault that you were late for the game? Did you get up earlier? Did you prepare enough buffer time?
The biggest controversial issue in South Korea is that in order to host the Olympic Games, South Korea has implemented strict control over a series of homeless people in the country.

According to the original plan, the homeless were to be managed in a unified manner and given work assignments and accommodation arrangements. In theory, this was a good thing as South Korea finally took the survival issues of the homeless seriously.

But in the end…

It can only be said that although the Korean Olympics seemed to be a success, it left a mess both at home and abroad, and it was also the first time that Korean sports ethics appeared on the historical stage. Therefore, what Ying Changqi said is also reasonable and well-founded.

I really don't believe that you have the organizational ability to host the World Series finals, so as a sponsor I simply refuse to hold the World Series in your place.

Hearing this, the Korean representative's face couldn't help but darken.

There is no way. After all, the Olympics have a bad reputation in their country. Now that this matter has been pointed out to them in front of them, they feel very embarrassed.

But no matter how embarrassing it is, we still have to continue working.

It is because we can do whatever we want in our country that we hold competitions in our country!

"Please rest assured, Mr. Ying Changqi! We have already hosted the Olympic Games and have experience in hosting large-scale competitions. The Go World Championships is not a difficult task for us.

We can hold it perfectly, you can rest assured, there won’t be any problems! We can even guarantee it here.”

Hearing this, Ying Changqi and Chen Long both laughed awkwardly. There is really nothing reassuring about your guarantee.

We will never feel at ease...

Looking at the deadlocked negotiations, the South Korean representative could only take a deep breath and say: "If you continue to ignore the opinions of the Republic of Korea, we will also fight back in the strongest possible way!
We will directly declare that we have been treated unfairly in the competition! The competition has completely ignored our opinions, and we will withdraw directly to protest!
We in Korea also have certain connections with many media outlets. We can even publish articles on international media such as BBC and CNN.

There is an old Chinese saying that good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. You two don't want such a serious accident to happen in the final, right? Even if China wins the championship, it's probably not something worth celebrating.

Even because of this competition, China's international image is directly damaged, right? I think no one wants to see this happen!"

Hearing this, Ying Changqi and Chen Long's faces suddenly turned dark.

If South Korea was trying to make suggestions by "arguing with reason" before, now it is a naked and direct threat.

If you don't agree to our demands, we will withdraw from the competition and start to discredit this world championship.

This way, even if you win the championship, we won’t let you win it happily!
Seeing everyone's faces darken, the Korean representative quickly followed up and said: "If the competition is held in Korea, it will indeed be of great benefit to us Korea.

So if the second half of this final can be held in Korea, I think we in Korea can also consider hosting the Go World Championships in the future.

If China, Japan and South Korea each have a world championship, I think that would be a good thing.”

Of course, this is pure empty talk.

But the Korean representatives also know that even if you hit someone with a stick, you must give them something sweet in return.

Otherwise you will just offend others, and they may get angry and not agree to your request just to save face.

At this time, we must give people a step so that they can come down naturally.

The exchange condition for South Korea hosting the world championships is a stepping stone.

Of course, whether this condition can be fulfilled in the end is also a question.

The South Korean representative just said this, but he doesn't have the ability to make this happen.

However, if Cho Myung-hoon can really win the world championship, South Korea might really host the world championships.

After all, South Korea has been called one of the Four Asian Tigers in the past two years. Although Samsung has not yet developed into the behemoth that became the country's name, it has already begun to take shape and is more than enough to host a so-called career competition with a prize of several million.

Of course, the prerequisite for all this must be that the Koreans can win the world championship before.

So, this is just a way for the other party to take a step back.

“So this is the situation now.”

Chen Long sighed helplessly and told Zhan Lang the issues that the two sides were currently negotiating.

The other party believes that it is unfair for them to have the competition in China as the host country. If they hold the competition in South Korea, it can not only promote the influence of Go in South Korea, but also make the competition more fair and just...

What the hell?

Zhan Lang doesn’t know how to complain. Even if there is no Internet now, this Korean Olympics alone has made everyone aware of the Korean sports spirit.

Will it be good for me to go to Korea now?
Those who couldn't sleep at night were the kids. It was unknown whether they would be taken to the police station at night and released to compete the next day.

"I also think that holding the game in Korea would not work. Why not hold the game in some other neutral place? For example, Singapore?"

Ying Changqi really didn't want to follow South Korea's demands. One reason was that he didn't want to be threatened by South Korea, and the other was that he also understood South Korea's sportsmanship.

After all, he watched the Olympics and his blood pressure went up.

If the final was held in South Korea, Ying Changqi was afraid that he would be so angry that he would go straight to the hospital.

Looking at the two people who had actually been persuaded by each other, Zhan Lang shook his head directly.

"No! Right in China! The race must proceed according to the original schedule!

They threatened to withdraw from the competition? Then just let them withdraw directly! "

PS: The first two rounds of the National Team Mountain Cup were held today, and the three participating players from mainland China have been wiped out ~ the same is true for Japan.

But this competition is actually not that important. I have complained about it before. The most important thing now is to watch the highlight of the world championship in the next two months.

The location of the first stage of the Yingshi Cup is a bit unlucky. It seems that China has never won a world championship held in Chongqing...

I originally thought that the biggest possibility was a 1:1 draw, but many people believed that the section chief might be directly shut out in such a place.

Lan Ke...there is really no hope.
