What Li Xiangping didn't expect was, no, it should be said that even Li himself did not expect was: the casual saying "half first level" immediately became a hot topic in the Go world.

At around 7 p.m. Korean time, at the Continental Restaurant of the Westin North Korea Hotel, Seoul, Li Xiangping competed with a plate of barbecue while listening to Zhang Da reporter Lao Xie and others introducing the situation just now:

"Hahahaha, Da Li really said that just now?... Come on, waiter, serve wine. By the way, Teacher Hua, what wine should we have today?"

"I don't think you need to drink, you'll have to play a game tomorrow."

Team leader Hua said this while making excuses the surrounding environment. Well, in today's day, this "Westin North Korea Hotel" is already the top hotel in South Korea and the organizer of this competition. Only one "Lotte" and one "Mingdong" can be ranked alongside this hotel. However, those two hotels belong to the other two chaebols in South Korea, and only this one belongs to Samsung, so everyone understands it according to the situation in South Korea.

But although this is a stadium, this continental restaurant has never been to the leader of the Hua team----

The prices in South Korea are so expensive. With the income of these people in the Go world these days, unless someone treats you, you really can't afford to spend the best five-star most expensive hotel in Seoul.

Well, today this is Li Xiangping. Team Leader Hua knew that this was a good person who was not short of money. His old man is now in the real estate industry in Beijing, and now even Team Leader Hua has heard of it.

Not to mention the family, even Li Xiangping himself is now the end of the year, and his bonus income is undisputed. Even if it is included in the entire world chess world, only one or two people in the Japanese chess world may be able to surpass Li Xiangping -----

There is no clear bonus ranking in the professional chess world, but simply estimate that as long as Japanese chess players can win two of their own "big three championships", there will be no pressure to earn more than 100 million yen. In this way, it will be a level of tens of millions if they are converted into rmb.

As for Li Xiangping, even though he achieved such a result this year and still won a game of 100,000,000, his simple bonus income is still in the millions this year, and he cannot be as strong as Ke Shaoxia and the others in later generations.

It is precisely because of the above reasons, and I won the chess today, right? So when Li Xiangping was excited to say that he would come here to play the tooth sacrifice.

However, if you are a tooth-killer, you will be a tooth-killer. But when Li Xiangping said he wanted to drink, Team Hua still instinctively blocked it. It was not because of anything else. Li Xiangping is still under 17 years old now, a serious "teenager". Since that's the case, you, an old comrade like Team Hua, must of course dissuade him.

It’s a pity that a playboy like Li Xiangping, how could he obey the old comrade’s dissuasion:

"Haha, no, no, come to this place for dinner, how can you not drink some wine? Maybe you will be looked down upon by these Koreans... By the way, Lao Zhang and Lao Xie, what kind of wine do you two say you should drink?"

Reporter Zhang Da and Lao Xie looked at each other. They were reporters who traveled around the world. They must be different from old comrades like Team Leader Hua. What's more, after getting along for so many years, they have become very familiar with Li Xiangping.

Lao Xie, who is in the "Sports World", spoke first; "Haha, since Xiangping is so happy today, then you can let him have some bar, but you were right just now. There will be a competition tomorrow, so we are not going to be sloppy, so we will accompany Xiangping to drink some red wine or beer..."

"Red wine, today must be red wine," Li Xiangping took the matter himself, and he looked excited:

"It's quite good to win this chess today. Although it's not as good as champagne, you can drink some red wine."

"Okay, then the wine bar."

Compared with Lao Xie, reporter Zhang is of course more familiar with Li Xiangping and knows his character better. Therefore, when he sees Li Xiangping, he is rarely interested now, and of course he will not disappoint him. After calling the waiter over, he waves to Li Xiangping:

"Come on Xiangping, you should do this job of ordering wine by yourself."

Li Xiangping looked around and said, "What are you talking about drinking?"

To be honest, Li Xiangping just asked this casually. Not only him, but others didn't care about what alcohol they drank at this time, but reporter Zhang didn't know what was going on. He might have remembered what Da Li said about "half-first level", so he sighed at this time:

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk

When everyone present laughed at the table when he heard reporter Zhang Da say "82 Lafite", including Li Xiangping, laughed. Of course, as a time traveler, Li Xiangping knew that his smile was different from others.

Simply put, facing this meme that has been circulating in China for many years, the team leader of China, Xie Laojia and others in this era, think it is really awesome, but for Li Xiangping, of course, he only hears idiots.

What is more embarrassing as a time traveler is that Li Xiangping clearly heard a fool, but he dared not reveal it in front of others. Not only is he difficult to express it, but he even pretended to be "you are so awesome".

Obviously, the "82 Lafite" joke was still a bit lethal in this era. After listening to reporter Zhang Da, Lao Xie and Lao Jia and other reporters also became interested. Lao Xie also pulled the translator to ask the Korean girl if there was any such wine here.

However, after receiving a positive answer, the scene suddenly became a little awkward.

Although with Lao Xie's IQ and experience, he certainly knew that even in this era, the annual output of 82 Lafite had been consumed by Chinese people more than ten times.

However, this is not South Korea after all, and it is the best hotel run by the largest chaebol in South Korea. Since they say there is, even if Lao Xie doesn't believe it, it is difficult for him to refute it.

Especially when the Korean girl cast a faint look of contempt, the scene would certainly be even more awkward.

Well, to resolve such embarrassment, of course, it is still necessary to have a dandy like Li Xiangping.

"What's the best way to drink Lafite? Waiter, come here..."

Li Xiangping waved his hand at the Korean girl, and then wrote out the name of another red wine brand through translation:

"...Well, I think I heard that it was also a good bar in the early 1980s, and it was better every time, that is, 8082 or 84. Go and see if there are any of these years..."

After Li Xiangping finished speaking, the Korean girl's face changed suddenly. Not only did she lose her contempt look, but she also bowed slightly to Li Xiangping:

"Sorry, you wait, I need to ask about this..."

When the Korean girl stepped down respectfully, the others naturally asked one after another. Li Xiangping pretended to be calm and gentle, but in fact he waved his hand very pretentiously:

"Nothing. I just announced an Italian red wine. This wine is not very famous in Asia. It is considered an unpopular brand. I just saw that little girl's eyes were unhappy, so I deliberately scared her."

Hearing Li Xiangping say this, the others are nothing, but the old Jia from the West China News Agency has been touched:

"It's not bad, I heard from this sip that European red wine will last, it depends on Italy."

Li Xiangping looked at Lao Jia in a little surprised: "Oh, I can't tell that Teacher Jia is an expert, a real expert."

Lao Jia smiled and waved his hand: "Where is it? Speaking of the real experts in red wine in the Go world, it is actually Ma Xiao. I heard this set of rhetoric just now from Ma Xiao."

Everyone here still believes that Lao Jia said, after all, the "Nie Ma Twin Heroes" in the Chinese chess world, one likes red wine and the other likes white wine. Most people in the circle know this.

There is nothing to say about Lao Nie's liquor. After he became a "hero of the ring", Maotai Distillery gave him a bottle of original wine that had been around for decades. The winery was extremely precious. At that time, the winery had only 4 bottles, two of which were left in the factory, and the other two plates were given to a boss in the nursing home back then, and one of them was transferred to Lao Nie.

The bottle of wine was kicked off by Lao Nie when the Chinese men's football team qualified for the first World Cup.

Just this little thing was ruined, and Old Nie had been talking about it for more than 10 years. When Li Xiangping traveled through time, he was still talking about it, saying that he regretted opening the bottle of wine back then.

The above is the story of Lao Nie and Baijiu. As for Ma Xiaohe Red Wine, there were also stories a few years ago:

Once, a rich man invited Ma Xiao and other people in the Go world to have dinner. This rich man came from COFCO Group and his main business was to do red wine business, so he should be considered an expert in red wine.

Everyone had a great time at that dinner. The atmosphere on the scene was very good. After the wine was over, the local tycoon took out a plate of good wine and said it was his personal treasure.

When the wine was opened, the others naturally had nothing to say. Only Ma Xiaoxiao smiled and only drank the previous wine, not the bottle of "private collection".

After everyone's questioning, Ma Xiao told the truth at that time. He clearly told the rich man that the relatively ordinary wines in front were real, but this bottle of "private collection" was likely to be fake.

Unexpectedly, the rich man from COFCO was also a straight man. He couldn't stand it anymore, and even made a few phone calls and called a few former colleagues.

Well, when my colleague arrived, it was said that he also brought that kind of special testing equipment.

The truth of this test is revealed, and the bottle of "private collection" is obviously not enough.

After this story spread, the horse whispered to the red wine world.

"Hahaha Ma Xiao also told me that in fact, there is a chain of contempt in the entire wine industry..."

Before the Korean girl came back, everyone was idle and they heard Lao Jia give everyone a popular science.

"Hmm? Contempt chain?"

Lao Jia nodded: "Well, I heard Ma Xiao tell me... Of course, I can't remember it clearly because it is too detailed. I only remember that he said that in the entire world, that is, according to continents, there is a chain of contempt for red wine. Specifically, European red wine looks down on Tu'ao, and Tu'ao looks down on Americans."

"Oh?" Zhang Da reporter interrupted: "Where is the Asian one?"

Lao Jia shook his head: "I don't know, it seems that Asian red wines don't have this chain of contempt,"

Lao Jia continued: "The key point is not this large-scale contempt chain. Since there are many European countries and their red wine culture is the most developed, there is also a contempt chain in their red wine."

"That's it, then Lao Jia will tell us in detail."

"How can I remember it clearly if it's too specific?" Old Jia smiled:

"I only remember the most important ones, such as the red wine at the bottom of Europe. Do you know which country it belongs to?"

So everyone started to be confused. It’s really true that this is not difficult to be confused. After Lao Xie reported the name “Germany”, Lao Jia told him that he had been mistaken.

As for why German red wine is at the bottom of the contempt chain, the reason is of course very simple, because German beer is very famous. Since you are famous, it is of course human nature to be despised by red wine.

Lao Jia reported that the contempt chain was second to last, which was beyond many people's expectations. French red wine! French red wine, which is famous all over the world, is second to last in this contempt chain.

"It's impossible, Lao Jia, are you talking nonsense?"

"Hehe, I'm actually very surprised, but that's what Ma Xiao told me..."

When everyone was arguing, Team Leader Hua could see clearly:

"Haha, I think this is very likely. After all, contempt chains are not really ranked. I think, the reason why French red wine ranks second to last is that it may be bad because its reputation is too great."

Everyone thought about it and thought that the reason why Team Leader Hua seemed to make sense. So they accepted Lao Jia's statement.

Lao Jia was very proud, so he continued to talk nonstop:

"...Ma Xiao told me that the top of this chain of contempt is the Italian red wine that Xiangping just mentioned... Hey, Xiangping? What are you thinking about in Xiangping?"

Everyone turned their eyes to Li Xiangping again, and Li Xiangping also came to his senses at this time.

He smiled and said to everyone:

"It's nothing. I just heard Teacher Jia talk about the problem of contempt chains, which reminds me that there seems to be contempt chains in our Go world."

"Well, what chain of contempt does our Go world have?"

"Why don't there be any? For example, there are various ways to win, and even the corresponding style of chess, isn't there a chain of contempt for the development of professional Go?"

"oh?"

Everyone put away the topic of red wine contempt chain, and then they all looked at Li Xiangping, wanting to hear him talk about the contempt chain in the Go world.

"Ahem," Li Xiangping pretended to clear his throat:

"In our Go world, although no one raises the question of contempt chain, I think there are actually some. At least, the winning method and chess style at the bottom of the contempt chain are very clear. For a long time, everyone has always looked down on the kind of chess that cuts and kills, and thinks that the so-called "force-fighting" chess style is the least popular. Do you think so?"

Hearing Li Xiangping's start like this, everyone present suddenly became interested. Team leader Hua smiled and encouraged:
Chapter completed!
