Early in the morning, Qingfeng Restaurant had not yet opened for business, but many chess fans were already waiting outside.
Although there are many restaurants and tea shops on Dongping Street that also have chess courts, which not only have spacious spaces, attentive services, and exquisite chess boards and chess pieces, there are still many chess fans who just like to come to Qingfeng Restaurant to play chess.
Not because of anything else, but because Qingfeng Restaurant is the birthplace of ‘chess’ and the first place where ‘comic books’ are updated.
Here, in addition to being able to see the updates of the "Comic" for the first time and learn the above chess moves, you can also play against stronger masters. Only in this way can chess fans' own chess skills be sharpened and continuously improved.
This also leads to the fact that the chess players who come to Qingfeng Restaurant are getting stronger and stronger, and the game becomes more and more difficult, so that even if many new chess players get a seat here, they still can't get a cup of tea.
If you use kung fu, you will be killed, throw away your armor, and be defeated. Then you will be beaten and you will not have the confidence to sit down and play chess again, so you can only change people.
But today, just as everyone was about to enter, they saw Xiao Fuzi suddenly walking out with a notice, and then posted it on the notice board.
Everyone then gathered around and looked up, and saw the notice saying: "In order to thank everyone for their love for 'Xiangqi Boy' and 'Xiangqi' recently, our store has decided to hold the first session in five days."
The winner of the Chess King's Competition will not only win the title of Chess King, but will also receive a bonus of 10,000 yuan provided by Qingfeng Restaurant.
The registration and competition rules for this time are as follows..."
After reading the long list of contents on the notice, the group of people in front of Qingfeng Restaurant were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly became excited.
“Holy shit, the first chess ‘chess king’ competition?!”
"The winner will not only get the title of 'chess king', but also a bonus?!"
"Anyone can sign up. Doesn't this mean that anyone has a chance to become the 'chess king'?!"
"Wait...what's going on with the knockout and promotion rounds..."
Soon, the news that Qingfeng Restaurant was going to hold the first chess "chess king" competition was like a whirlwind, quickly blowing through every corner of Dongping Street.
Everyone who got the news was excited.
"The First Chess King Competition? This name is quite resounding!"
"Chess King? Doesn't this title just refer to me?!"
"Based on the level of your three-legged cat, I advise you to give up as soon as possible. The 'chess king' this time is none other than me!"
…
"Damn it, this Qingfeng Restaurant is causing trouble again, can't it just calm down and do business properly?!"
After learning that Qingfeng Restaurant was going to hold a competition, the owners of other stores suddenly collapsed again.
Their business had just improved a bit, but Qingfeng Restaurant was in trouble again. Who could bear it if this continued?
When Golden House learned the news, shopkeeper Hu immediately changed his mind and hurried upstairs to suggest to the boss Wen Liang: "Boss, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"What do you say?" Wen Liang looked at Shopkeeper Hu and asked.
"Isn't Qingfeng Restaurant going to hold some kind of 'chess king' competition in five days? Then we can hold it some time earlier, just like the whole 'chess king' competition. As long as our prize money is higher than theirs, then whoever comes to participate will
There must be an endless stream of people. And since then, not only can we take advantage of the trend to secure the number one position in the 'Xiangqi' Club, but we can also steal all their limelight at once, isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"
Shopkeeper Hu's eyes were like those of thieves, and he became a little excited.
Wen Liang couldn't help but nodded after hearing this plan.
I have to say that this idea is indeed brilliant. Once successful, it will definitely be a blow to Qingfeng Restaurant.
But there was a trace of doubt in his heart.
"Then Qingfeng Restaurant wouldn't have thought of such an obvious problem?!"
…
When the Golden House Restaurant was planning to hold a 'Chess King' competition, Liu Qingxi raised this question worriedly, "You spread the news that we are going to hold a 'Chess King' competition so early. Aren't you afraid of being imitated by others?"
Are you going?"
Next to him, Uncle Fu was also worried and reminded: "Yes, Ping An, last time what happened in the book review area, the Golden House Restaurant across the street plagiarized 100% of it. This time, there is no guarantee that they won't repeat their same tricks and plagiarize our ideas.
.”
After hearing this, Su Ping'an laughed and explained: "Don't worry, since I dare to announce it in advance, I'm not afraid of them plagiarizing!"
"Why?"
Both Liu Qingxi and Uncle Fu were doubtful.
Seeing that they might not feel at ease if they didn't ask clearly, Su Ping'an immediately sat down and explained to them thoroughly, saying: "It must not only be this problem, but also that our restaurant's business has been robbed a lot before. You all are very worried."
You are confused. Then I will explain it to you bit by bit now..."
It turns out that when other stores also sold chess, it was Su Ping'an who deliberately condoned it.
Because he wants to make chess popular in the entire Daming Mansion in a short period of time and be recognized by all literary cultivators, it is difficult to do it with the power of a Qingfeng Restaurant alone. If he wants chess to become popular, he must first
To make the "pie" of chess bigger, only if more people participate in it, will it form a trend.
Therefore, when other stores join in, they are actually promoting Xiangqi and adding fuel to the flames, which is actually a good thing.
And only after more people learn chess, the level will improve. Then the 'Chess King Competition' he holds will be more meaningful. Otherwise, there will only be dozens of people with different levels to participate in the competition.
In the end, even if the winner is determined, it will only be a joke.
As for plagiarism...
To put it bluntly, even if it is copied by other restaurants, they will not be successful.
Because if they want to hold a formal, grand competition, it can't be completed in a day or two, and they have no experience in chess events. Even if they model a game after Go, it will be in vain.
It's just a table.
But Su Ping'an is different. In his previous life, he had seen videos of various game competitions, such as knockout rounds, regional rounds, promotion rounds, resurrection rounds... It was a series of bombings. The processes and rules therein are not available here either.
Who knows better than him.
Moreover, Su Ping'an made up his mind from the beginning, either not to do it, or to do something big, not only big, but also formal and solemn, with complete ceremonies. Only in this way can they establish their Qingfeng style in the hearts of all chess fans.
The restaurant's reputation as the "No. 1 chess and chess hall"!
Therefore, he is not afraid of plagiarism at all, because there will only be one result of plagiarism...a complete failure!
