Chapter 414 Arrive in Seoul
Morino Rino worked as a college student at the Korean Chess Institute for one year, so he clearly knows:
Li Changmin is an idol of almost all college students, and his popularity completely overshadowed his teacher Cao Xunzhe.
"Master, I really want to see the game between you and Li Changmin with my own eyes! Can you take me there?"
Chihara Hiroshi shook his head and refused:
"You should stay in Japan. If you still haven't passed the entry section in three months, you will be more beautiful!"
"How could that happen?" Morino Rino frowned and said, "I have been preparing for this for a year, and under your guidance from Master, even the third and fourth paragraphs in the research association may not necessarily beat me. Entering the exam is just a little bit!"
"If you are careless, you may have a capsized situation. It depends on what you will do!" Chihara Hiroshi threatened.
Morino Renino didn't believe it at all, and begged with Chihara's arm:
"Master, just take me there..."
And Hiroshi Chihara has never been willing to give in.
Finally, Rino Morino let go of his arm and muttered softly "stingy" while his eyes were rolling, not knowing what he was thinking.
...
Secretary Bai Zhi did not accompany him during this trip to Korea, because the budget given by the Japanese Chess Institute was limited, and because the Korean Chess Institute had already equipped a secretary who could speak Japanese and Korean languages, or the translation was more appropriate.
In the morning, Hiroshi Chihara came to the gate of the Japan Chess Academy with his suitcase.
A bus was parked next to it, and in the lobby on the first floor, a group of people were already waiting there, and the leader was Takano Sakai.
Seeing Chihara, he smiled and said hello, and then asked:
"This time I went to Korea, besides playing chess, what else can I expect?"
Hiroshi Chihara was stunned and asked back:
"Besides playing chess, what else can I expect?"
If it weren't for understanding the other person's character, Takanobu Sakai suspected that the other person was deliberately arguing with him.
——However, this should be one of the reasons why Qian Yuan has achieved this result.
He thought of this and said:
"Chenhara, this is probably the first time you have been to Korea. Is there no place you want to go?"
Hiroshi Chihara wanted to reply "No", but then he thought of another place, paused for a moment, and said:
"If there is enough time, I want to go to Bird Island."
"Bird Island?" Sakai Takayuki said in a little puzzled manner, "Is this a place name in South Korea?"
Hiroshi Chihara nodded:
"Probably, I don't know."
Not sure... Sakai Takanori was covered in black lines and asked the people around him, but he didn't get the answer, so he had to say:
"When you arrive in Korea, if it's not far away, go and have a look."
Speaking of this, he looked at Qianyuan and asked:
"Since you don't know this place, why do you want to go?"
Hiroshi Chihara said something without any end:
"I want to meet someone, but he is not the one I know yet."
Seeing that he looked like he was speechless, Takanori Sakai looked curious, but he did not continue to ask questions.
And Hiroshi Chihara recalled the name in his previous life—
Li Yu-Yi, compared to the name "Li Changmin", the former is more resounding.
After all, in his era, the legend of "Stone Buddha" had long passed, and the name of "Invincible Bird Island Boy" was even more resounding.
Especially the five-game game between him and AIphaGo officially kicked off the AI Go!
But now, the other party should still be a child...
When Chihara Hiroshi came to his senses, the other five players had arrived.
A dozen people from the Japanese delegation boarded the bus and rushed to Tokyo International Airport in a mighty manner.
...
South Korea and Japan are not far apart, and it only takes two and a half hours to fly.
At this time, the capital of South Korea has not yet been renamed, but is still called Seoul.
As soon as they got off the plane, everyone saw the people coming to greet them at the airport.
The leader was a middle-aged man with tall figure and slender eyes. He enthusiastically held Takayuki Sakai's hand and said in skillful Japanese:
"Director Sakai, long time no see!"
"I am no longer a director of the Japan Chess Academy, so I'd better not call that." Sakai Takayuki first corrected it, and then introduced it to everyone, "This is the director of Kim Dae-hyun of the Korean Chess Academy."
Although it was an introduction, it was actually just an introduction to Hiroshi Chihara alone.
Kobayashi Koichi, Kato Masao, Lin Haifeng, Ishida Yoshio, and Awaji Shusan are all surrenders in the Japanese chess world. They have also had contact with the Korean chess institute in the past. They are not familiar with this director Kim Dae-hyun, but they are not unfamiliar with it.
"Are you the Chiwan Hoshi?" Before he could introduce it, Kim Dae-hyun looked at him with a bright look, and his eyes were filled with inquiry.
Hiroshi Chihara was not surprised. After all, among this group of people, except for the staff members who accompanied the group, he only had a young face.
"Hello, it's my first meeting, please take care of me." He greeted politely.
"Chanyuan...First section, please take care of it!" In the chess world, the title is often suffixed by the rank, and only add a 'Chanyuan' to it, Kim Daxian is really not used to it.
After all, it is really shocking to hear that the other party has so many impressive achievements over the past year, but it is still the first stage.
Of course, the same is true for the fifth paragraph of Li Changmin in their country.
Thinking of this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, a eager smile appeared on his face, and said:
"Chenyuan Chuduan, welcome to South Korea. I hope this trip to South Korea will leave you with a wonderful memory."
Hiroshi Chihara said "Thank you".
Afterwards, under the leadership of Kim Dae-hyun and others, more than a dozen people from the Japanese delegation went to the hotel arranged by the Korean Chess Institute.
...
"Changmin, Chihara Hoshi has arrived in Seoul. Can't you really go over and take a look?"
In a villa in the capital of South Korea, Cao Xunzhe looked at his disciples and said.
To be honest, he was a little confused about his disciples' inexplicable stubbornness.
Sure enough, Li Changmin still said the same answer as before:
"It's better to stay on the field when I meet him for the first time."
His eyes were bright. Although he was looking forward to his first meeting with the other party, his persistence made him think that if it were not on the court, it would be difficult to say what the meeting between the two would be of great significance.
Cao Xunzhe sighed and said:
"You, you, in this kind of thing, have insisted on the contrary."
The disciple's personality is similar to his. Once he decides something, it will never change because of other people's attitudes, whether on the chessboard or in his behavior.
Li Changmin said embarrassedly:
"I'm sorry, Master."
Cao Xunzhe waved his hand and said:
"What's wrong with this? Let's continue to review it."
Chapter completed!
