After lunch, everyone began to discuss what to do next. Anyway, everyone greeted them and they just played casually. It would be better if there were no one else, and if there were too many outsiders, everyone would be a little unwilling to let go. Now, everyone can be relaxed and have fun even more.

Just as everyone was discussing, a classmate named Liu Zhengyang ran in.

As a resort, there must be such an existence in the cafeteria, but I don’t know how it tastes.

Everyone entered the cafeteria with fun and soon the food was brought up. When everyone saw that it was okay, there were meat and vegetables. After a few bites, the taste was acceptable.

"What did I find?"

Zhang Shubo went out and didn't know what to do, but I think he must have gone to talk to his good friend.

Wait and wait until eleven:30, when Zhang Shubo came back.

He said with a smile barely.

Although he didn't say anything, Jin Xiao knew that Zhang Shubo and Zhu Bingrong's negotiations must have been not very successful.

There was a look of fatigue on his face, and it was obvious that he could not get a favor from his friend.

"Let's go, let's have a meal together."

Anyway, no one greets them, they just entertain themselves. In fact, everyone is waiting, waiting for the people who invited them today to come and greet them. Anyway, when noon is waiting, if no one comes, they just leave directly. If others don’t give face, they don’t have to act according to other people’s faces. They are all young people, all of them are full of energy, so who hasn’t had a little temper yet?

The group didn't say much, and left the conference room and walked towards the canteen.

First of all, strengthen the body.

Have a good waist, legs, good health, play billiards for a week, and try to go to the seventh floor in one breath! The usual movements in billiards include bent over and bent over to help exercise the waist muscles. In addition, you have to keep walking during the game. In fact, after an hour, you have to walk thousands of meters away without sweating a lot, avoiding the embarrassment and inconvenience of sweating.

He said to his classmates with some excitement.

Everyone guessed several times, but they didn't make it right.

"I found a small billiards hall. Does anyone want to play billiards?"

Of course he can play billiards, and he plays quite well. At least he has no opponents near the community.

In fact, billiards should be played more regardless of whether they are good or bad. Because billiards can not only strengthen the brain and body, but also not be afraid of wind and sun exposure, and will not sweat profusely, and can promote social interaction. It is simply the first leisure sport in modern times!

There are several benefits to playing more billiards.

The second is to move your fingers.

In billiards, you need to spread your left five fingers to hold the club, hold the club with your right arm, hit the ball, and be tight and loose, which are all exercises for the opponent's hands.

The third is to protect your eyesight.

The green wool on the billiard table top is paired with soft lights, and the eyes are scanned from close to far away, and the focus is aimed at different distances. It can relax the eye muscles, relieve vision fatigue, and prevent pseudo-myopia. It is undoubtedly a good way to care for the eyes.

The fourth is to cultivate concentration.

To score a goal, you must lock a target ball and then stare at it. At this time, except for moving to the ideal position of a certain ball, the other balls around you are all floating clouds. This kind of concentration is required when dealing with life and work.

The fifth is to develop the brain.

If you want to win, you have to be in a state of constant thinking. Billiards is a good exercise to develop the brain, a combination of strength and intelligence. Billiards integrate knowledge of mathematics and mechanics, plus different pole techniques, tactics, and strategies. It is not only a physical exercise, but also a training of thinking. It truly integrates art, technology and physical strength, and is a fitness and brain-boosting!

The sixth is to cultivate one's own character.

You can't be impatient during the process of playing billiards. This sport will slowly teach you to be calm and calm, learn to control your psychological fluctuations and emotional ups and downs, and gradually become calm and calm, not anxious or impatient, have a peaceful mood, and have a calm mind. This is also the best emotional therapy to prevent and treat hypertension and heart and brain diseases.

The seventh is safety and convenience.

Billiards are indoor sports, not affected by the seasonal climate, and there is no danger of safety. A table tennis table can be placed where you can place a table tennis table. The rod is not as good as a slap, and the actual space required is smaller than that of a table tennis ball. One person can practice, and three or five people can participate together.

Finally, it is to promote social interaction.

There is no noise or quarrel in the billiards. Friends can gather together while practicing football skills. The virtual space separates people from the direct contact between people, while billiards provide an opportunity for face-to-face interaction. In the "face-to-face, shoulder-to-shoulder" activity, people can stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world, rebuild their friends, make friends with the ball, and life will be more colorful from now on, and life will no longer be lonely.

In fact, billiards have been popular in the country for a long time.

As early as the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, billiards were introduced to China, but at that time, there were only pool tables in embassies of various countries, and there was no outside. It was not until after liberation that billiards developed in China.

What everyone was familiar with in the early days was the gameplay from abroad.

Until the 1980s, Chinese billiards that belonged to us became popular among the people.

But the name and rules of the sport were vague at that time. The names of black eight, sixteen colors, American bags, and Chinese eight balls made the laymen confused.

In fact, in the world, billiards can generally be divided into snooker, Karen and Poole billiards. Among them, Poole billiards have many branches around the world, such as American billiards, American billiards are divided into eight balls, nine balls, ten balls, etc. British billiards are similar to American styles. Chinese billiards generally refer to tables between snooker and American style, and use American rules and playing styles at the same time. At present, the mainstream Chinese billiards are eight balls.

In the early years, the Secretary-General of the China Billiards Association introduced in an interview that the conservative estimate of 60 million billiards in my country, and 40 million people are playing Chinese billiards. What is the concept of such a scale?

The population of China participating in table tennis is more than twice a week, and more than an hour at a time is 83 million. Although the population size of Chinese billiards is not as large as that of table tennis called "national ball", the overall mass base can also be described as "strong".

At present, domestic professional billiards have a certain scale. Conservatively, there are more than 2,000 professional players in the country. There are hundreds of people who are active in the Masters all year round, and there are also some who are active in the local area all year round. There are probably more people who play.

It is absolutely fine to use the four words "in full swing" to describe the current Chinese billiards event. Ten years ago, the largest billiards event in the country were American nine-ball and snooker, but now more than 90% of the events are Chinese-style events. Most of the players who play well in China play Chinese-style billiards, and some players in other events are also playing Chinese-style billiards.

In terms of game bonuses, some high-end Chinese billiards are also very generous in high-end competitions. For example, the Chinese Eight-Ball Masters, the total season bonus can reach 20 million yuan.

However, there has been no star player like Ding Junhui and Snooker in the rapidly developing Chinese billiards. This is related to the fact that Chinese billiards rarely appear on national TV broadcast platforms. The strong financial resources, influence, and influential communication platforms behind the World Snooker Association are the reasons why "Ding Junhui and others" can appear.

This actually explains to a certain extent why the mass base of Chinese billiards is worse than that of snooker, but the event is not as popular as snooker. At present, Chinese billiards do not fully meet the conditions for a "Ding Junhui".

Another reason why Chinese billiards are not paying enough attention to snooker is that this sport originated in China and its current influence around the world cannot be compared with snooker.

However, as Chinese billiards are held in more and more countries and regions, their overseas influence is gradually increasing. At present, this sport has been promoted to more than 50 countries and regions around the world. Many billiards media in the world have bonus rankings every year. As long as players who win the Masters championship can be at the top of the rankings for at least half a year, because the competition in the first half of the year is the largest.

For example, in South Africa, the Masters sponsored them a car every month and played the car league. The locals in South Africa are very enthusiastic about participating.

In the process of global promotion of Chinese billiards, a name that fans are familiar with is Hendry, the "Billiard Emperor" who is one of the greatest athletes in the history of snooker sports. He has won the World Snooker Championships seven times. After announcing his retirement in 2012, Hendry served as honorary chairman of the Chinese Eight-Ball International Federation in the same year. Hendry once said in an interview: "This original Chinese billiards will carry the Chinese culture to take root all over the world, and Chinese billiards will become an important opportunity for the new upgrade of the world's billiards industry."

In addition to the development of competition events, Chinese billiards also have the output of billiard culture behind them. The expansion of overseas events can often bring about the expansion of overseas markets, and billiard-related industries can also smell first-line business opportunities.

In addition, in terms of billiards equipment, it is also growing due to the continuous development of billiards.

In the history of the development of billiards, both billiards, ball tables and clever fans have experienced tremendous evolution. But among all the equipment, the most technological one is undoubtedly the "ball" itself.

In the 14th century AD, during the Victorian era in England, billiards activities were highly valued by people. In some wealthy families, there were not only luxurious and exquisite billiards, but also strict activity etiquettes when playing balls. The original billiards were made of wood, and the roundness, elasticity and hardness of the ball were extremely unstable. Over time, many potholes on the surface of the wooden billiards would appear, which could not be used for a long time.

After wooden billiards, ivory billiards began to appear. Compared with wood, ivory material is more durable and sturdy. It is said that only 5 balls can be made of one ivory. In the UK, tens of thousands of elephants were required to kill billiards every year. The manufactured ivory billiards also had to undergo strict screening. The weight of each ball must be the same, so the price was very expensive. This also determined that billiards were only suitable for the palace nobles at that time.

Until 1868, billiards were widely developed in Western countries and the demand for billiards increased greatly. A billiards company in New York voluntarily offered a bounty of 10,000 US dollars to solicit new billiards that could replace ivory balls, which led to modern mixed plastic billiards. This invention made great contributions to the development of the billiards industry.

Later in 1920, the billiards industry developed billiards made of chemical raw materials carbonic acid resin, which not only reduced the production cost of billiards, but also significantly better than plastic balls. Since then, billiards have truly become popular entertainment.

In fact, many people don’t know that there were only two balls on the table when I first played billiards. By 1775, the French added another red ball, and the British followed suit, and there were three balls on the table. This way of playing was called "Kellon". The hitter pushed the opponent's ball into the goal bag, or hit two balls at the same time, and they could score points. This way of playing was the original gameplay of three-ball pocket-small billiards that people played, that is, British billiards were "compared to" American billiards, which was introduced by the Spanish in 1504 through Florida.

In 1607, the British brought billiards to Virginia. In 1690, the French who moved to South Carolina also brought billiards to the United States. Although billiards were introduced to the United States in many aspects, they did not develop quickly and did not become popular until 1800. After years of research and development, it was not until the mid-19th century that they made major improvements and improvements in billiards' techniques, game methods and rules. Until in the world, they created a major school of American billiards, which was alongside French billiards and British billiards, and are now popular in the East and the West.

Regarding the establishment of billiards organizations, the earliest country was the United Kingdom. In 1885, the billiards association was formed by amateurs and professional golfers, and the first set of formal rules of competition was formulated. In 1908, the billiards management club was formed by the opposing party. In 1919, the billiards association and the billiards management club reached a merger agreement, forming the highest organization of British billiards and snooker billiards, the Billiards Federation, which presided over the two billiards competitions and formulated rules.

Let’s talk about Jin Xiao and the others.

They soon arrived at the billiards hall, where there were only three pool tables. Everyone quickly divided the groups according to their preferences, three groups of people, one pool table, and soon started playing.

Everyone plays the simplest kind. When two people fight, one plays the full color ball and the other plays the perfect color ball. Whoever can score all his balls can play the black eight. Whoever hits the black eight into the hole in the first place will win.

Everyone's level is actually amateur level. Although it is not easy to score goals, everyone is still having fun.

However, the good times did not last long. Just as the students in the first round retreated one after another. When the students on the second round came on the court, a group of uninvited guests suddenly pushed open the door to the billiards hall.

After sitting in the conference room of the main building for a while, Jin Xiao and his classmates asked the waiter for a few decks of poker, and they all started playing cards together.

After he said this, many people were a little moved, and almost all the boys followed to the billiards hall, and even several girls followed. Others who didn't follow were said to want to go out for a walk, but there was no danger here anyway, so no one cared about it.

The group went straight to the billiards hall, and Jin Xiao was also among them.

In this way, a lunch was considered a deal with it.
