Chapter 1119 Not a Mile Less
In the following two years, Qin Hao did not participate in any domestic competitions, but he participated in all international competitions. In fact, the Japanese and Korean chess circles tried their best to prevent Qin Hao from participating, but Qin Hao's two-time world champion title was there. If he was not invited to participate, the gold content of the competition would undoubtedly be reduced by several levels. In addition, Qin Hao's performance in the Fujitsu Cup and Yingshi Cup also gained many fans from Japan and South Korea. The organizers had to invite Qin Hao for the sake of profit.
Since there was no way to stop Qin Hao from participating, they could only try to make trouble for Qin Hao in terms of the rules, and even use some tricks outside the game, such as often having local chess fans make trouble at the door of the hotel where Qin Hao stayed, and even adding some things to Qin Hao's food and drinking water.
However, these actions all failed without exception. Qin Hao won the Fujitsu Cup in 1989 and 1990. If the Japanese Chess Institute had not invited Qin Hao, it is estimated that all the titles of Chess Saint and Celebrity in the past two years would have been taken by Qin Hao.
Seeing that all the dirty tricks had no effect on Qin Hao, the media in Japan and South Korea began to make efforts.
The front page of "Go Weekly" published a long article entitled "Qin Hao Phenomenon: Monopoly Crisis in the Go World", which analyzed Qin Hao's performance in recent years in detail and pointed out that his dominance has seriously affected the healthy development of the Go sport. "Qi Dao" magazine published a commentator's article, calling for the revision of the competition rules to prevent individual players from monopolizing the championship for a long time.
The "individual players" here are naturally Qin Hao.
Of course, when the news spread to China, it caused indignation.
"These little Japanese are really shameless. They can't stand losing so they resort to dirty tricks."
"They can't win even if they use dirty tricks. Now they are making rules against Qin Hao, the 7th dan. So many people can't beat us, but they still have the nerve to restrict us. Aren't they ashamed?"
"Imperialism is determined to destroy us. To be honest, Qin Hao, the 7th dan, is really a great honor for us. You can see that many of their fans cheered for Qin Hao, the 7th dan, at the competition site."
When Qin Hao just won the Fujitsu Cup, the chess academy tried to take most of the prize money from Qin Hao in a roundabout way. Qin Hao naturally couldn't agree, so they didn't promote Qin Hao for two consecutive years, on the grounds that Qin Hao didn't participate in the promotion tournament.
It wasn't until last year when Qin Hao defended the Fujitsu Cup that the chess academy was forced to promote Qin Hao to the 7th dan under pressure from the Japanese and Korean chess academies. For this, the Japanese and Korean chess academies have expressed strict protests, because every time Qin Hao won the championship, the media reported that Qin Hao, the 7th dan, defeated someone, the 9th dan, and won the championship.
So many 9th dan chess players were defeated by a 7th dan, especially in Japan, where the media praised the six top-notch chess players all day long, but they were defeated when it came to the world championship. As a result, the Japanese media consciously stopped calling their own chess players top-notch chess players.
However, the Chinese Chess Institute still withstood the pressure. In the eyes of the Chess Institute, Qin Hao won four world championship trophies in a row, but did not hand over a penny to the Chess Institute. It was simply not taking them seriously.
Qin Hao was too lazy to pay attention to this. It was a 7th dan, anyway, who knows who is embarrassed.
A major event happened in 1990. Pudong was established as an economic development zone, which opened the wave of Pudong's large-scale development.
Li Jia sat on the bench in the Planning Bureau for three years and finally had the opportunity to show her skills. However, when she came into contact with the Design Institute, she found that her professional level was far behind that of those graduate students, which also hit Li Jia hard.
"Hubby, I want to quit my job and take the postgraduate entrance exam again."
Li Jia hesitated for a long time, and finally took the opportunity to lie in Qin Hao's arms at night and said her truest thoughts.
After listening to Li Jia's words, Qin Hao said lightly: "Do whatever you want to do, I will speak to your parents-in-law for you."
"Hubby, you are so nice."
"Then how are you going to repay me?"
"Hate..."
Li Jia spent a year preparing for the exam and successfully passed the postgraduate entrance examination in the Department of Architecture of Tongji University. When she was a postgraduate in 1991, Zhuang Tunan had graduated and went to the design institute.
This year, Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting also graduated from university.
Lin Dongzhe was assigned to Guangzhou, while Zhuang Xiaoting stayed in Shanghai. However, in order not to separate from Zhuang Xiaoting, Lin Dongzhe directly rejected the offer of the foreign company and almost got beaten up by Song Ying.
In the end, Qin Hao got Lin Dongzhe to the Shanghai branch of "BBK", but the position could only start from sales.
In the past few years, Xiang Pengfei has become the deputy manager of the sales department of the Shanghai branch, in charge of the sales of the entire Central China region, and his master Lao Han has become the deputy general manager of the head office, in charge of the sales of the entire "BBK".
Lao Han has no academic qualifications, but he has worked his way up from the bottom of the sales, and his sales ability is beyond doubt. Many bosses in the same industry have poached him with high salaries. In order to retain this talent, Qin Hao promoted him all the way to his current position.
Facts have proved that Lao Han has not lived up to Qin Hao's expectations. In just a few years, the sales volume of "BBK" has become the well-deserved No. 1 in the same industry.
In addition to his achievements in the field of tapes, Qin Hao also spent a lot of effort to invite the chairman of C-CUBE from the United States. After half a year of hard work, he finally developed the world's first VCD.
In 1993, Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting decided to get married after one year of work.
Song Ying and Lin Wufeng were naturally grinning from ear to ear. Although Huang Ling was reluctant to let her daughter get married so early, she thought that the family wouldn't have to live far away, so she reluctantly accepted Lin Dongzhe as her son-in-law.
Song Ying and Huang Ling were so busy preparing for the wedding that they were dizzy. When the two families checked the invitations, they suddenly found a thorny problem.
Should we send an invitation to the Zhuang family?
If not, they are Zhuang Xiaoting's grandparents after all. If we send it, Huang Ling felt upset when she thought of how they favored boys over girls and disliked their daughters when they were young.
"Just send an invitation to my dad."
Although Zhuang Xiaoting also hated her father's foolish filial piety and was extremely unprincipled when it came to her grandparents, he was still her biological father anyway, so it was better to inform him of the marriage.
Zhuang Chaoying was very happy after receiving the invitation, and he even spent a month's salary to order a suit because he heard that his daughter was holding a Western-style wedding.
As a result, before he could be happy for long, he was called back by Grandpa and Grandma Zhuang.
"Zhuang Chaoying, look at what kind of ungrateful people you have. They didn't even send us an invitation for such a big event as a wedding. Your mother and I still know that our granddaughter is getting married from other people's mouths. It's so embarrassing."
Mrs. Zhuang said sarcastically: "That's right. Those who know think that our granddaughter is unfilial, and those who don't know think that we have done something to offend her."
"Maybe she forgot." Zhuang Chaoying tried to smooth things over.
Grandpa Zhuang snorted: "What about you? Don't tell me that your own daughter didn't send you an invitation?"
"I..." Zhuang Chaoying was speechless for a moment.
Grandma Zhuang frowned: "Chaoying, this is your fault. We are a family. Even if there were any grudges in the past, we are blood relatives. How can we not attend our granddaughter's wedding? We will go together when the time comes."
"But mom..."
Grandpa Zhuang glared: "But what? Why don't we, as grandparents, have the right to attend our granddaughter's wedding? Not only us, but also Ganmei and Zhendong and Zhenbei have to go. No matter what, we can't weaken the momentum, lest the in-laws think that we are a small family in the Zhuang family and bully Xiaoting at will in the future."
Although Zhuang Chaoying knew that her parents definitely did not go to the wedding to support their daughter, a voice kept echoing in her mind: They are Xiaoting's grandparents, they will not harm their own granddaughter, right?
On the day of the wedding, a row of cars were waiting at the entrance of the alley, and the pomp shocked the neighbors.
"My God, so many cars, how much money did the Lin family have to spend?"
"The Lin family is just an ordinary worker family, and Lin Gong's deputy director has only been promoted for a few years. Where did they get so much money?"
"You don't understand this, right? These cars don't cost money at all. They are all BBK company's official cars."
"Why did BBK company give the Lin family cars?"
"You don't watch TV usually. Haozi has advertised for this company so much, so he still has some face."
Outsiders don't know that Qin Hao is the actual boss of "BBK". They only know that he has filmed advertisements for "BBK". The outside world's most profound impression of him is still the world champion of Go, and they don't think of him as a businessman at all.
"The bride is here."
"Children, go and ask for candy."
Children blocking the road to ask for candy means that the newlyweds will have many children and good fortune. It is a local custom. Generally, as long as the family is well-off, they will prepare a large bag of candy in advance to distribute to the children.
The children got snacks, and the newlyweds also asked for good luck.
Zhuang Tunan carried a three-meter-long sugarcane, which is also a local custom that means that life will be better and better.
In the past, there was no such condition, but now that the conditions have improved, many things have begun to be particular.
Zhuang Xiaoting changed into a white wedding dress. This was also the day she had dreamed of, and she always had a faint smile on her face.
"Mom, let's get in the car too."
No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
"Yeah."
After Huang Ling got in the car, the tears that she had been holding back finally fell. Zhuang Tunan quickly comforted her: "Mom, it's okay. If Lin Dongzhe dares to do anything to Xiaoting in the future, I will beat him to death."
"It's okay, Mom is just happy." Huang Ling wiped her tears and said insincerely.
This time the wedding banquet was not held in Deyue Building, but in a hotel auditorium in Suzhou. Although it is not as good as the Peace Hotel, it is also one of the most luxurious in Suzhou.
A few dozen meters away from the hotel, Zhuang Ganmei started to complain: "Brother, your son-in-law has a rich family background. Look at how grand this hotel is. Don't forget our parents when you enjoy the happiness with your daughter and son-in-law in the future."
Zhuang Chaoying's face darkened: "Second brother, today is my daughter's big day, don't make trouble!"
"What am I going to make trouble for? You don't allow me to say anything?"
Zhuang Ye said with a stern face: "Okay, stop arguing, let's go in first."
Song Ying and Lin Wufeng, who were welcoming guests at the door, had a bad premonition when they saw Zhuang Chaoying's family coming in a mighty manner, and quickly called Qin Hao out.
Qin Hao thought for a while: "Auntie Song, Uncle Lin, you go in first, and leave the outside to me."
"Okay, then you be careful."
"Don't worry, today is Lin Dongzhe's big day, and as a brother, I have to escort him anyway."
Song Ying and Lin Wufeng had just entered when the Zhuang family arrived at the door of the hotel. They were about to go in, but Qin Hao stopped them.
"I'm sorry, today is the wedding day of my brother and sister-in-law, outsiders are not allowed to enter."
Mr. Zhuang was so angry that his nose was crooked: "Qin, stop pretending, I am Xiaoting's grandfather, but you make me an outsider."
"That's right, are you guys looking down on our Zhuang family? Everyone, please judge..." Mrs. Zhuang quickly cooperated. It must be said that the old couple had cooperated for most of their lives and had a tacit understanding.
However, Qin Hao didn't buy it: "You said it was? Where is the invitation?"
"Give it to him!" Mr. Zhuang glared at Zhuang Chaoying.
Zhuang Chaoying didn't dare to look Qin Hao in the eye and handed the invitation over.
Qin Hao took it and looked at it: "Go in."
Zhuang Chaoying was still in a daze, and was pushed in by Qin Hao. Mr. Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuang were very proud. They had suffered so many setbacks at the hands of Qin Hao before, and today they finally got a chance to raise their heads.
As a result, they were stopped by Qin Hao as soon as they raised their legs.
"Didn't I show you the invitation? What else do you want?" Mr. Zhuang said angrily.
Qin Hao said slowly: "Yes, one invitation corresponds to one person. You don't have an invitation so you can't go in."
"That's too much!" Mr. Zhuang was so angry that he jumped up and down.
Zhuang Chaoying paused when he heard the noise behind him, and Grandma Zhuang also hurriedly called him out. Just as Zhuang Chaoying hesitated, Qin Hao shouted.
"If you don't want to witness your daughter's marriage, just come out. If you come out, you can't go back in."
Zhuang Chaoying gritted his teeth and pretended not to hear, and strode into the hotel.
This made the Zhuang family very angry.
"Traitor."
"Evil creature, just leave your parents outside like this."
Qin Hao stretched his body and looked like a business person: "Do you still have invitations? If not, please leave, otherwise..."
"Otherwise, what, do you still want to hit someone, do you have the guts to hit here..."
"Oh, come quickly, this man relies on his wealth and power to look down on our poor relatives of the woman's family, not allowing us to enter the wedding banquet, and even beating people, come and see!"
A car stopped at the door of the hotel, and Zhuang Tunan and Huang Ling got out of the car. When they saw this situation, they were shocked and angry.
"Tunan, Aunt Huang, you go in first. The wedding is about to start. You are indispensable inside. Leave this to me. I will make sure they will not affect the guests."
"Haozi, I am causing you trouble again."
"No trouble, Aunt Huang, I like to solve troubles the most."
After Zhuang Tunan and Huang Ling went in, Qin Hao gave a wink to the drivers of the wedding car, and a group of big men rushed up and stuffed all the Zhuang family members into the car without saying anything.
"Drive the car to a deserted wilderness thirty miles outside the city, and then drive the car back."
These drivers are all veterans, and they followed the order one by one. Qin Hao said thirty miles, which was not less than one mile. When the Zhuang family members walked back to the city, it was almost dark, and they were all covered in dust and their shoes were almost worn out.
"Qin kid, I will never let you go!"
