After the quarterfinals of the "Chunlan Cup", Li Xiangping and Gu Dali did not stop in the capital. After the draw, the two immediately set off for Shencheng to participate in the last three games of the "Celebrity Battle".

These are the first and second chess players in China currently ranked first and second, and they are also the two busiest professional chess players in China.

In the next period of time, Gu Dali will also participate in the semi-finals of two world competitions. In addition, he also has other domestic competitions such as the "Nongxin Cup" selection - so in terms of his busyness, he and Li Xiangping are actually not much different.

Considering that this is a rare game between Li Xiangping and domestic chess players - this is only the third time. The first two times were Ma Xiaofei. This "Celebrity Battle" decisive battle was Li Xiangping's third game between Li Xiangping and domestic chess players.

If we consider the historical record of the two, so far, the two have tied 6-6. With this record, Gu Dali has also become the only player among the top chess masters in today's chess world who is not inferior to Li Xiangping-------

Then there is no need to say anything else. Although this is just a domestic game, the fight between the two is still attracting much attention.

After the two players arrived at the arena set up in Shencheng, Li Xiangping actually saw Japanese and Korean Go reporters coming to interview - Li Xiangping expressed his understanding of this.

All this is just like in the same period in real history, a Chinese reporter went to interview the final of the Korean Er Lee.

Of course, if we really want to compare historical status, then Gu Dali at this time still cannot be compared with the Korean two Lee of the same period.

However, all this doesn't matter. Just by 6 to 6, if he and Li Xiangping are not at a disadvantage in the fight, it is worth studying him in the Japanese and Korean Go world-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"My friend Xiangping, listen to me, you know I rarely ask for help, but this time, you must let me appear..."

After arriving in Shencheng, Li Xiangping was a little amused and crying at the time.

To be honest, Li Xiangping was really ready to play for the next three chess games, after all, he also felt that the opportunity to play chess with Dali was rare.

But he never expected that his plug-in Shi Daqi Saint would have such a strong desire to play this time, and he would even say such harsh words to him.

Li Xiangping thought that more than two years ago, he was still worried about his 15-game quota, and he was thinking about how to use "good steel on the blade".

Li Xiangping felt like he was a different life.

However, there is no way. Since Lao Shi spoke, he must give this face. If he doesn’t give anyone, he must give his face to his cheats.

However, Li Xiangping really wants to play a slow game with Gu Dali this time-----This year, Li Xiangping personally played two games with Gu Dali, but they were all fast chess. In Li Xiangping's mind, fast chess and slow chess are of course different, so he really wants to play by himself this time:

"Hey, Brother Ding'an, this third game is for you, but you can't take over the five-game finals, right? Let's first agree that you can play the third game, but I have to do it in the fourth game. What do you think?"

"What if this...what if the 5th game is over? How to arrange the 5th game?"

Li Xiangping heard this and said, "I said, Brother Ding'an, can you have some success? Why didn't you think we won the championship in two straight games? If there is really a fifth game... Then let's talk about it then."

The two had no time to discuss more details, because when they were saying this, the game was about to begin, and everyone was already in place, just waiting for the referee to give the order.

Since the game was snatched away by Lao Shi, Li Xiangping's nerves also relaxed. He switched from a nervous mode in a normal game to a relaxed mode. In addition to acting as a "human-shaped mover", he also had time to observe the environment in the game room.

Today's competition was held on the Bund in Shanghai. The reason why it was in this place was of course the sponsors chose. The sponsors of this year's "Celebrity Battle" are a bit strange, named "Bund Source", and the full name is the 17th "Bund Source Cup" Chinese Go Celebrity Battle.

The so-called "Bund Source" is actually a major engineering project in Shencheng City these days.

The "Bund Source" is located at the intersection of the Huangpu River and the Suzhou River. It starts from the Huangpu River in the east, ends at Sichuan Middle Road in the west, reaches the Suzhou River in the north, and Dianchi Road in the south, covering an area of ​​about 18 hectares.

In this area, a large number of modern Western buildings built in the 1920s and 1930s are retained, which is the core area of ​​the Bund historical and cultural landscape area and is the source of the Bund "Wanguo Architecture Expo".

It is also considered to be the source of the modern city of Shencheng.

Since in our country, the modern financial and trade industries have actually developed and grown from here. Therefore, after entering the new century, the local government decided to regard the "Bund Source Project" as a pioneer project for comprehensive development on both sides of the Huangpu River.

The place where Li Xiangping competes now is actually within the scope of the first phase of the Bund Source Project, which includes the enclosed plot of Yuanmingyuan Road, Beijing East Road, Huqiu Road, and South Suzhou Road, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters.

There are n excellent historical buildings including Lao Guanglu Grand Theater, Zhenguang Building, Lanxin Building, Youth Club, Abe Travel. According to local planning, the first phase of the project will be built into public facilities such as commercial finance, culture, hotel-style apartments, offices and public squares.

Sitting in one of the old houses, Li Xiangping cannot blame him for sighing, because he remembered his antique construction company. If Li Xiangping had not traveled through time and had not become a professional chess player, he would have probably become the manager of the antique construction company.

The reason why Li Datui established that antique construction company has a lot to do with the "Bund Source" because the first project that the subsidiary took and the first order received was actually two sub-items of the entire "Bund Source", which is considered a very small part.

"Hey! This Bund Source project seems to have just been established. Should I help Li Datu...?"

Li Xiangping shook his head and silently drove this unreliable idea out of his mind. Not to mention that he chose to be a professional chess player, he didn't have so much energy to help his old man improve his status. Even if he really became the manager of that antique construction company now, he would not have the idea of ​​the entire project.

It’s not that this project is not good, nor that with Li Datuhao’s strength and resources, he dare not make the idea of ​​this project------In fact, because of his uncle Li Jinjiang, Li Datuhao could have a sip of soup in this project in his previous life. Now Li Datuhao is stronger and has more resources. So in this era, it is not a particularly big problem for him to win the entire project at the initial stage of the entire project.

The reason why Li Xiangping dared not make any decisions is mainly because this type of project is considered a higher-level commercial real estate, and the legendary "cultural and tourism project" is also the case.

In Li Xiangping's impression, the person who vigorously advocates "cultural tourism projects" in China is the father of Da Lao Wang. It should be seven or eight years later that his third-generation Wanda Plaza model reached a peak, and after the peak, he would definitely enter a bottleneck. It was in this situation that the fourth-generation and fifth-generation Wanda Plaza models came into being, and Da Lao Wang began to vigorously promote his concept of "cultural tourism projects".

It’s a pity that this is just a concept, a concept that sounds beautiful.

In real history, there are very few "cultural and tourism projects" that can be successful, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are rare.

To give a very simple example, all film and television cities or film and television bases are considered cultural and tourism projects. However, among the hundreds or thousands of film and television base projects in China in later generations, how many can you remember? How many business conditions are considered good?

At most, everyone has an impression of a Hengdian Film and Television City. If you know a little more, you may also have some understanding of Huairou Film and Television Base and Xiangshan Film and Television Base.

In fact, in China, only these three film and television city projects have good operating conditions.

And more than 90% of the others are losses, and the remaining 10% are barely guaranteed to guarantee capital.

A success rate of about three-thousandths isn’t this rare?

In addition, don’t just look at domestic, but look at this type of “cultural and tourism projects” around the world. Dinis Paradise is the most successful cultural and tourism project in the world.

However, it is very regrettable that the theme park-type real estate project has only succeeded in the world. Many other countries around the world, including our country, tried to replicate this successful model after seeing the success of Dinis. Unfortunately, before Li Xiangping traveled through time, he did not see other examples of the same success.

This is why Li Xiangping dares not touch such projects.

It’s not that cultural and tourism projects are not good, but that such projects are really too difficult to succeed. Even if there are a very small number of successful people, they are basically exceptions - the success of Dinis Paradise is due to the accumulation and foundation of nearly a hundred years.

It was also a coincidence that Hengdian Film and Television City could succeed. All kinds of opportunities and opportunities are added together, which made it the number one film and television city in China.

Since successful cases are exceptions, everyone knows that you cannot regard this as a business model. If a business behavior becomes a model, it must first be replicable.

It is obvious that cultural and tourism projects basically do not have replicability, so for such a concept, you can just hear Xiaoxiao, and whoever truly believes in it will be foolish.

A real estate expert would never touch such projects. For example, Li Datuhao, who owned an antique construction company. In fact, in the past decade in real history, the company's main business was either a project like "Bund Source" or a film and television city of all sizes in China.

However, the positioning of this subsidiary is to help others work and earn some wages. This would allow Li Datuhao to invest in investment, and he basically refused without thinking.

Not to mention Li Dadu, even if the initiator Tear Cong's father, Da Lao Wang, was promoted everywhere in the concept of cultural and tourism projects. The purpose was to defraud some preferential policies and tax incentives. There were very few projects that really took out real money and silver to do. It was rare to do several projects after several years, but he immediately sold them, and it was called "light assets".

So everyone needs to know that although in real history, the concept of cultural and tourism projects has been very popular in China after 2010, but there are only two people who are really keen on this:

One is a real fool, and this fool really believes in the concept that this is a more advanced commercial real estate model.

Another type is actually a fool, but a fool who is self-righteous. They also try to hype this concept to make money in the stock market.

For example, two brothers named Wang from a private film and television company in China are typical self-righteous fools.

Of course, Li Xiangping suddenly had a lot of thoughts at this time. He was acting as an old man-made mover and was still having a lot of thoughts. It was not that he was idle or that his thinking was too divergent.

Because he suddenly thought of Go and the combination of Go and cultural and tourism projects.

There is no doubt that Go is of course a culture. Since it is considered a culture, is there a possibility of using Go as a theme to operate a cultural and tourism project?

Of course there exists! In fact, this possibility not only exists, but also in real history, there is such a cultural and tourism project in China------

Another domestic title is "Tianyuan Battle". When this competition was first established, it was only a simple Go event. However, after a few years, when the competition became a small town in Jiangnan, it became the "Tongli Cup" Tianyuan Battle. This is actually a cultural and tourism project!

Since Go and Tongli Ancient Town have become connected, the two have truly complemented each other and formed a healthy relationship that depends on each other.

The ancient town has increased its reputation through Go, made a reputation, and has also changed the surrounding environment to a certain extent.

Go has also found a relatively constant sponsor through the ancient town, which has opened up another path for the long-term development of this project.

If you come from the perspective of making money, this "Tongli Cup" Tianyuan Zhan is not a good cultural and tourism project. Not to mention it is not a hit product, it cannot even be a good level. At most, it will only be a guaranteed capital or a small profit operation.

However, from the perspective of Go, this is a project that cannot be better.

There is no reason, because the existence of this competition is like finding another way to survive for Go. Li Xiangping believes that the existence of the "Tongli Cup Tianyuan Battle" has a meaning that is no less than that of any world competition.

In fact, it is not only the "Tianyuan Battle", but even the "Celebrity Battle" that Li Xiangping is participating in, the "Mass Daily" has always intentionally turned it into a cultural and tourism project.

This can be seen from the sponsors found by the Qunzhong Daily for this competition:

In the early years, there were all "Jianpai Cup", "Magang Cup", "Baijia Black Cup", but from now on, it became "Bund Source Cup", "Yongcheng Cup", and "Lanzu Cup".

These last three are of course possible to be built into cultural and tourism projects.

Unfortunately, cultural and tourism projects are basically exceptions. Even if there is a relatively successful example of "Tongli Cup" in the Go world, when it comes to "Celebrity War", even if the first print official media Daily takes action, and before Li Xiangping travels through time, this project has not been successfully built.

"............Ah, I just despised those who do cultural and tourism projects. Do I have to be such a fool even if I travel through time once..."

When Li Xiangping had this idea, this thought could not be stopped and spread in his heart.

The consequences of this spread led to the fact that after Lao Shi successfully won the third game, Li Xiangping himself in the fourth game, he was sleepwalking and lost in a daze.

"My friend Xiangping, look at this fifth game..."

"Brother Ding'an, don't say too much," Li Xiangping was now looking dark:

"That's all right. Of course, I will play in the fifth game, and I will play in person..."
