At the same time, South Korea is separated by a sea.

After today's competition, Li Changmin came to his master Cao Xunzhe's villa.

Since he won his first world championship, he moved out of his master's house, but the master and apprentice would gather together from time to time to discuss Go.

And today, he has only one purpose!

"Master, how about it? Is the match between Chihara Hiroshi and Zhao Jixun still going on? What's the result?"

Cao Xunzhe in the living room raised his head, and his wife came up and said:

"Changmin, you are here!"

Li Changmin called out "Master's wife", then looked at the satellite TV in the living room, but found that the TV screen was pitch black.

Cao Xunzhe put down the chess piece in his hand and said:

"Changmin, I have recorded the video of the game. You can take it back and study it."

Most TVs in this era do not have the function of "fast forward" and if you want to not miss important details, you can only watch them all.

Li Changmin's focus is obviously not here, but asked:

"The competition is over?"

He looked at the chessboard at his master's hand, and fifty or sixty pieces fell on it.

"Yes, Chihara Hiroshi won." Cao Xunzhe recalled the game just now, and still remembered it vividly, and said, "Take the video tape back and take a look. The process is very exciting, and it breaks our previous recognition of Chihara Hiroshi!"

"Yes, Master." Li Changmin was about to take off the video tape.

Cao Xunzhe's wife couldn't stand it anymore and whispered to her husband:

"You are teasing Changmin again!"

As he said that, he said to Li Changmin again:

"You kid is really, you can't even hear your master's joke!"

After being criticized by his wife, Cao Xunzhe couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and said:

"It's just a joke, I don't know that this kid is fooled again and again..."

Nowadays, in the Korean chess world, Lee Changmin has taken over as his position as a leader.

Last year, he won 8 titles in South Korea; this year, he has won 11 titles.

Most of the time, the final opponent was Cao Xunzhe.

Therefore, Cao Xunzhe had a complicated relationship with his overly "outstanding" disciple.

After all, he is only 40 years old this year, and when he is young and strong, his disciples have taken away the title one after another.

As a master, he should be proud; but as a chess player, he feels unwilling to accept it.

Speaking of this, there is another interesting thing circulating in the Korean chess world:

A few years ago, when Li Changmin was still living at Cao Xunzhe's home, if the two had a game and when they returned home, if Li Changmin frowned, he would definitely win the game; if he looked happy, he would definitely lose the game.

In the living room, Li Changmin stood there in a daze, shy personality, he was a little at a loss.

Cao Xunzhe coughed twice and said to his disciple:

"Come here, I'll review it for you."

"Yes, Master." Li Changmin sat opposite the chessboard.

As a professional chess player, Cao Xunzhe naturally has a good memory. He picked up the pieces on the chessboard and reviewed them again.

The master and apprentice did not speak throughout the whole process, one played chess and the other watched.

A total of 154 hands were all on the chessboard, and it only took Cao Xunzhe five minutes.

Finally, he raised his head, looked at the disciple, and said:

"How about it, Chihara Hiroshi's chess?"

Li Changmin showed a solemn look on his face, and he said after a while:

"It's completely different from his previous style. This time, Senior Zhao took the initiative to ask for a fight, but Qianyuan Haozhi ignored it at all! This game of chess is really exciting!"

Cao Xunzhe said:

“Do you feel familiar?”

Li Changmin said "yes" and said:

"If it were me, I would probably do this, but I wouldn't handle it so well."

Cao Xunzhe sighed and said:

"I haven't seen it at the beginning yet, but after entering the mid-season, I thought of you, I really didn't expect it!"

What he called "unexpected" certainly did not mean that Chihara Hiroshi imitated his disciples, but that he was shockingly transformed.

"He has become even more terrifying!" A raging fire ignited in Li Changmin's eyes. Only in Go can he show a completely different fighting spirit from his personality.

"Yes, it's even more terrible." Cao Xunzhe responded.

Then, Li Changmin took the lead and reviewed the game, and the master and apprentice began to discuss the specific content of the game.

...

The next day, Hiroshi Chihara came to the Chess Magazine in Minato.

"President, congratulations!" As soon as we met, Yakuto and Takeguchi Ryohei said this sentence at the same time.

Chihara Hiroshi responded with a smile, glanced at the empty office and said:

"How are you preparing for recruiting people?"

At present, the president of his magazine only has two "little soldiers", which leads to the heavy workload of the two.

Therefore, as soon as Qihun Co., Ltd. was approved for establishment, he put the recruitment on the agenda.

The silly man pondered for a moment before answering:

"President, we discussed it and planned to recruit two more people, one responsible for interviews outside and the other responsible for the layout design of the magazine."

"If you only ask two, is it enough?" Chihara Hiroshi was a little surprised.

Nowadays, there is no computer assistance, and all the processes of magazines need to be completed manually, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

The first issue of "Chess Soul" is actually just one article, which is "30 Hands to Begin".

As the beginning, the first issue needs to be gained popularity. Judging from the feedback from the past two days, it is obvious that the established goals have been achieved.

Starting from the second issue, we need to show the differences between their magazines and other chess magazines.

Just as the target group of "Go Paradise" is students, the target group of "Go Soul" is also students, but the scope should be broader, not only middle school students, but also primary school students and college students should be included.

This requires that the content of "Chess Soul" should not only be interesting, but also attract the attention of students, but also that the articles in it must have sufficient depth.

Regarding Chihara's doubts, Yamato said:

"If two things are, it should be enough, and we must save money and spend money on improving the quality of magazines."

Qianhara Hiroshi heard his hidden meaning and asked:

"Is it insufficient funding?"

Based on the principle of "do not doubt people, do not doubt people", he handed over all 28 million yen to Yaguchi.

Of course, once the expenditure exceeds 50,000 yen, it must be approved by Hiroshi Chihara.

28 million yen, except for rent, equipment and other expenses, there are more than 20 million yen left in the company's account.

Yaguchi explained to him:
