Soul of Chess: Buy the chessboard from Shi Guangjia at the beginning of the game

Chapter 254 What's His State in Round 253

Before December, people were discussing Tian Minze's status this year.

At the beginning of the year, Tian Min won three consecutive championships in the "Celebrity Tournament", which is already his favorite event. "National Tournament" and "Tianyuan Tournament" Tian Min was hastily eliminated, and did not show a very good competitive state.

However, in the two title challenges of "Great Chess Player" and "Chess Holy War", Yu Liang and Shi Shi got the right to challenge, but Tian Min used two 3:0 to win, without giving them any chance.

Tian Min seems to have already made up his mind to hold on to the three titles, leaving the other two titles for other domestic chess players to compete.

In the world arena, Tian Min won two world championships in the LG Cup and the World's Strongest Tournament. Now he is the player with the most number of world champions among domestic chess players and the eighth individual world champion.

This man-machine battle was determined by the main domestic sponsor, and the competition venue was set at the "Wuzhen World Internet Conference". Tian Min arrived in Wuzhen a week in advance.

Lin Miaomiao was busy with the final exam and did not come. Kyoto University was too busy with her studies. Tian Min often accompanied the girl to sit in the library all night, and then drove her back home.

I feel that the pressure has not been relieved at all compared to the third year of high school.

And Yu Lijun also didn't know what happened recently. He planned to stay with Tian Min in Wuzhen, but he canceled the trip before leaving.Tian Min asked her the reason and she didn't say anything, so she stayed in Pengcheng and didn't come.

This time Tian Minze was accompanied by his cousin Zhang Xinxin.

The two of them first attended a few business events in Wuzhen, a place where Internet bigwigs gather.

Before 2017, Tomorrow Information was valued at about US$220 billion. At the end of 2017, the Financial Times disclosed that the company’s valuation may exceed US$450 billion.

Despite several rounds of financing, Tian Minze and Zhang Xinxin injected capital for several consecutive rounds, but the shares in the hands of the two have been diluted a lot, but the total is still 8.6%. At the same time, they also indirectly hold 56% of the shares of Elf Live.

Adding these two parts together, the valuation has exceeded $45 billion.

Tomorrow Information has not yet been listed on each share. Once it is listed, it is estimated that this part of the equity will be added to zero.

Recently, the company's shareholder meeting also clearly stated that there will be no next round of financing. Now the company's cash flow is normal, and the profit target has been exceeded, with profits exceeding US$10 billion.

So this Internet conference in Wuzhen is also a celebration of the end of the year for tomorrow's information.

Although the company's shareholding structure is complicated, there are only four shareholders with more than 5% of the shares. The two founders retain 41.5% of the shares. With Tian Minze and Zhang Xinxin's third party acting in concert, they just reached a controlling stake.

Another domestic giant company holds 10% of the shares, which is considered a successful equity investment, and there are some other shareholders.Including some venture capital companies, investment institutions and individual investors.

At present, the company's equity distribution is relatively scattered, which is conducive to the company's development and also ensures the company's independence and autonomy.

The appearance of Tian Minze and Zhang Xinxin can be regarded as confirming the rumor that Tian Min is a shareholder of a technology company in front of the public.Before the man-machine war, people had some new understanding of Tian Min.

Many people exclaimed that it turned out that Tian Minze's chess game was just for entertainment and it turned out to be true.

Lin Miaomiao also seemed to be very quiet, and she didn't call to express her shock. After all, she knew a long time ago that Tian Minze had invested in a technology company, but she didn't know which company it was.

Now it's just the truth.

Tian Min didn't receive a call from Lin Miaomiao, but Tian Min was still not used to it, so he could only take the initiative to call, "Miaomiao, why didn't you come to ask me how much money I have, it's not like you."

Lin Miaomiao chuckled, "Even if you don't have this investment, the money you earn from playing chess now is enough to spend your whole life if you don't smoke or gamble."

Tian Min thinks about it. He has been No. 1 in the Go player rankings for three consecutive years. The total bonus for the three years has exceeded 1500 million, which is enough for many people to earn for a lifetime.

It can be seen that Lin Miaomiao is not very interested in this topic, while Tian Min feels the girl's fatigue, the fatigue revealed from the heart, can't help but feel a little distressed, and said softly, "Don't force yourself too hard, come on I’m in college, as long as I can graduate smoothly.”

Lin Miaomiao smiled and did not answer, "Everyone in the dormitory is studying by themselves, and the corridor is also very quiet. I hung up. These two days are exam weeks. If you have anything to do, please send me a WeChat message."

"What about Miaomiao?" Tian Min naturally referred to the Siamese cat raised by the two of them.

"Miaomiao was brought to the dormitory by me these two days," Lin Miaomiao said in a low voice.

Tian Min asked in surprise, "Can cats be kept in the dormitory of Kyoto University?"

Lin Miaomiao smiled, "Kyoto University doesn't check the dormitory. As long as the dormmates agree, it will not affect others. There is no problem with keeping pets. The little sisters in our dormitory like Miaomiao very much. You know, Miaomiao Miao is a very obedient pet cat who never defecates around."

The two didn't chat a few words before the girl hung up the phone.

Suddenly Lin Miaomiao was so independent, but Tian Min was not used to it. After entering university, the girl seemed to have grown up a lot and become more mature.

Tian Min had no choice but to call Yu Lijun again, and the phone rang several times before the girl answered the phone in a daze, with a weak voice.Tian Min glanced at the time, and asked in surprise, "It's only less than nine o'clock, have you already fallen asleep?"

Although Yu Lijun was a little annoyed to get up, he still patiently explained, "I'm sorry, I've always been a little sleepy recently, and I go to bed early."

"You're not sick, are you?" Tian Min said worriedly.

Yu Lijun chuckled, "Don't worry, Zhan Ying came to live with me at home recently, even if something happens, Zhan Ying can take good care of me."

"Zhan Ying is so busy live broadcasting, how can he have time to take care of you?" Tian Min was still a little worried, "Or else I'd better hire you a nanny."

Yu Lijun yawned, "You are right, after all, you are so rich now, you still can afford to hire an auntie."

Tian Min heard the teasing in the girl's words, and smiled helplessly, "Aunt Wang at home heard that she lives in Pengcheng now, so I asked her if she has time to take care of you."

After hanging up the phone, Tian Min couldn't help but feel a little helpless. Today, his fame has gone a step further. Not only is he No.1 in Go, but he is also synonymous with achieving wealth and freedom under the age of 20, and being young and rich.

Now my social media on the Internet is full of "husband" and "husband" star-chasing girls, I didn't expect my girlfriend to lack interest.

But it was a critical moment, Tian Min was not in the mood to think about it, and devoted all his thoughts to preparing for the battle.
