After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

Chapter 4 4. Ten Thousand Yuan Household

What does a champion prize of 10,000 yuan mean?
If it were 2024, 10,000 yuan might only buy a computer with better configuration, one square meter of a better house in a second-tier city, or even a new Apple phone with better configuration.

At least 10,000 yuan is not a lot of money for most people who can access the Internet. In some places, children with many relatives can receive this amount of money as red envelopes for the New Year (except Guang).

But now in 1979, ten thousand yuan is an astronomical figure, an amount that countless families dare not even think about.

Not to mention dreaming at night, it is impossible to have such a dream even during the day.

You know, a new term has become popular this year, called "ten thousand yuan household"!
The term "ten thousand yuan household" is very simple and easy to understand. As the name suggests, it refers to a household with deposits or income of more than 10000 yuan.

Uncle Zhan Lang is a high school teacher, and his monthly salary including various subsidies is less than 70 yuan. Zhan Lang's father participated in the founding war and was the head of a division-level garrison area, and his monthly salary is 200 yuan.

The current price of rice is 0.14 yuan, the price of meat is less than 0.95 yuan, gifts to relatives are around 2 yuan, and the New Year’s money is 0.1-0.2 yuan!
Theoretically, Uncle Zhan Lang's family would need to save for twelve years without eating or drinking, and a family of a senior military officer like Zhan Lang would also need to save for four years without eating or drinking.

A commercial house of about 60 square meters in Shanghai cannot reach this price now, and even Shanghai household registration is given for free.

A complete courtyard house in the capital now costs at most tens of thousands of yuan. In a few decades, it will not be something that can be purchased by a few small items. It is a situation where there is a price but no demand.

A household with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan is not only about money, but also about the power of being a role model in this new era. In this era, they will be commended at the county or even city level.

When I watched the TV series Ordinary World in the past, I could see some millionaires wearing big red flowers and parading on the streets. In people’s eyes, they were no less impressive than the top scholar in ancient times.

Ten thousand yuan is an unimaginable number nowadays.

Now all that's needed is a junior championship.

"Can your ten thousand yuan be circulated in the market?"

Although the temptation was great, Zhan Lang still asked soberly.

The system matches the game directly to 05. By then, the prize money should also be in , and I will give myself the version of RMB.

The current RMB is still in the third edition. The fifth edition is no different from waste paper in your hands and you can’t even spend it.

Zhan Lang will have to wait at least thirty years before he can use it, and by that time, ten thousand yuan will be worthless.

[Taking into account the different bonus currencies awarded in the world competitions of various countries and the subsequent currency version updates, the system will use the bonus currency provided by the host as the same version. If it is cash, the same version of cash will be issued. If it is a bank transfer, it will be synchronized to the same bank account. ]

"What I mean is that after I get it, I'll go to you to get it reimbursed, and then I can spend the money I got."

Although the system's functions seem to be very weak, it is still a system that only existed in novels. I feel that there shouldn't be any problems with the rewards sent by the opponent.

But mainly the bonus was just too tempting.

Ten thousand yuan.

With Zhan Lang's current conditions, even if he opened Tongliao's designated wealth-making guide "Criminal Law", he would not be able to make so much money in such a short time.

If you really rob a bank now, the bank may not have that much money.

The reason why Zhan Lang was not very interested in this Go system before was because the upper limit of the Go industry was too low.

Although theoretically the top people in each industry will not be too bad, there is still a big gap between different industries.

Even if you are a waste collector, you can still make a lot of money when you are at the top. It seems like a lot of money to ordinary people, but compared with other industries and top people, it is nothing. At the peak of his career, a talented but unethical Go player only earned over 10 million yuan in bonuses in a year, but later on, it might not be as much as what someone else earned from selling goods in one night.

And this is just the top of the head. It’s hard to say how the people in the middle and lower parts are doing.

Not to mention, if you want to be at the top of the pyramid in an industry, talent alone is not enough; hard work, luck, mentality, etc. are all essential.

Even if an ordinary person is given Bolt's talent, 99 percent of people would not be able to break his record.

Even if it was true as the system said that Zhan Lang had the highest Go talent in China, Zhan Lang was not too interested, because even if one had the highest talent in the country, it did not mean that he would be much stronger than the second place, not to mention how much hard work one had to put in.

Zhan Lang has the same idea as a certain Bu Bilian, that is, doing less and getting more, and getting something for nothing is the best.

But this is unlikely, but you can still choose a way to make money more easily.

But things are different now.

The competitions matched by the system are all prize money for later generations. Later, the prize money for various Go competitions in the country cannot be said to be much, and some champions will even selectively give up some competitions with lower prize money, but a national champion can get hundreds of thousands.

The world champion's salary starts at one million, which is simply unthinkable in this era.

To some extent, earning the salary of the 21st century in the 1980s can be said to be making a lot of money.

Although the 1980s was an era when even pigs could fly if the wind blew, everyone only saw the pigs taking off and thought that they could do the same, but they did not see how many people were falling to their deaths in invisible places.

Zhan Lang thought that he could use this to get his first pot of gold, and then do some casual work. When he retired, he wouldn't have to invest the money he had, and he could just buy a house when there was no purchase restriction at the intersection of the old and new centuries. He didn't know how many times he could make the money.

[In order to help the host learn better, the system has prepared a beginner tutorial that introduces the basic rules of Go. The host is welcome to use it. ]

"jump over."

When Zhan Lang heard this, he skipped it without thinking. He already understood the basic rules, and the rest was how to learn them.

No matter what industry you are in, a good teacher can help you avoid many detours.

"But would your old-fashioned father let you learn something like Go, which he thinks is useless?"

Zhan Lang couldn't help but touch his chin. His father was hoping that he could get into a university, preferably to build an aircraft carrier.

If you give up your chance to study at university to play Go, most parents will think that this is a waste of time in a few decades.

Not to mention that today’s parents think that Go is probably not much different from electronic games.

However, before Zhan Lang could think about how to convince his father, the system's voice sounded again.

[Congratulations to the host for having learned the basic rules of Go. Novice tasks are released. Next, please face the nine-dan Go master Ke Jie.]

Hearing this, Zhan Lang was stunned for a moment, then looked at the starry sky in the distance in a daze.

"No, there's something wrong with the matching mechanism of your game, right?"
