Chapter 747: Price reduction

On Monday, just one night, the chess hall price cut. +◆

When Meng Huo came to Sakura Company in the morning, Eiji Takashima congratulated him: "President, congratulations on becoming famous again!"

"Be famous?" Meng Huo didn't know what happened at this time. He was very surprised: "What's the name?"

He has long been very famous for being famous, but what Takashima Eiji should be talking about is other famous things.

"This morning, the Go Association announced that the price reduction of the entire chess hall in China was in decline. They said that this was your opinion." Takashima Hideji smiled and said, "There is now the TV is getting lively. President, did you not see many reporters guarding outside the door when you came?"

Meng Huo was surprised: "No..."

"Why, I saw a lot just now!" Takashima Hideji frowned slightly, and then smiled: "That must have been cleaned out by the security guards. The president doesn't have to doubt this. You have made such a big change in the Go Association. Nowadays, reporters all want to interview you."

He said it was certainly true, and Meng Huo believed it a little.

"The price of the chess hall is reduced? I really didn't expect... how much did they drop?"

"It has dropped to one tenth." Eiji Takashima replied: "One dollar is almost the same as free. I heard that some of the big chess halls everywhere are now overcrowded."

"One tenth!?" Meng Huo was stunned. How could the Go Association be so straightforward? And the efficiency was beyond common sense, which surprised him so much - Meng Huo immediately went to the office to search for related information.

Eiji Takashima did not lie to him. There was indeed a case of the Go Association reducing the fees for chess halls online, and it has caused a lot of discussion.

But this matter cannot be said to be revealed this morning, but should be said to be revealed last night - the Go Association, headquartered in Yanjing, held a closed-door meeting last night. After the meeting, news broke that the chess hall fees had dropped.

However, this incident had not spread at that time. Until this morning, some reporters went to interview the Go Association and then got the exact news. Strangely, several senior executives of the Go Association who were interviewed all spoke to He Xi in unison when they were asked by reporters, and even put the reason for the price reduction this time on him.

"Teacher He Xi's suggestion is very important. After careful discussion, we decided to adopt Teacher He Xi's suggestion and reduce the cost of the chess hall from today. I hope everyone can go to the chess hall in the future - of course, this fee has a deadline, and it will be increased to three yuan in three months."

A representative of an association said that the price of a chess hall is only one dollar within three months, but three months later it was changed to the three dollars suggested by Meng Huo.

But this doesn't matter. Three dollars is a fee that everyone can afford. In most cities in China, a bowl of street noodles costs six yuan, and even elementary school students can take out three dollars to go shopping at the chess hall.

And it is basically free of charge, and you can't even afford some mineral water.

Meng Huo was surprised and happy. He was surprised by the amazing speed and boldness of the Go Association. It was not something that ordinary people could do from ten yuan to one piece of work. But the change in the chess hall was undoubtedly helpful to "The Soul of Chess". And he was very happy that the Go Association valued himself so much.

"I didn't expect them to consider my suggestions so seriously. I can't find this in other industries..."

Although it is not 100% certain, Meng Huo believes that in most industries, even if he draws comics, suggestions are good suggestions. They cannot consider them as seriously as the Go Association, and it is even more impossible to put down their figure so simply.

Of course, Meng Huo did not want to interfere in the operation of the Go Association, but the Go Association respects the opinions of an outsider so much, no matter who that outsider is, he will definitely be happy.

The painting of "The Soul of Chess" is not bad - this is what Meng Huo thinks now.

Of course, what he didn't know was that the price reduction of the chess hall was. In addition to the importance given by the Go Association, the bigger reason was that the Meng family behind Go. The Chinese chess hall was unable to make ends meet for many years, and the Meng family looked down on this thing at all. As soon as Meng Huo spoke, it was of course natural.

Now the Meng family has gradually reached a consensus on Meng Huo. It doesn’t matter whether the chess hall charges fees or not. They will eventually choose to charge fees, which is also for something symbolic. With a threshold on it, it will not be occupied by guests who are not interested in Go.

In fact, as long as it is free, the chess hall will immediately become scented. Some customers can treat the chess hall as a place to rest and chat. It would be better to reduce the price and charge some symbolic fees.

The effect of price reduction is very obvious. At noon on Monday, Director Muto called Meng Huo to report the good news. All chess halls in Tokyo were crowded, and many guests came throughout the morning. After school at noon, many high school students and junior high school students ran over.

"It's so amazing, Teacher He Xi, it's like a volcanic eruption." Muto seemed extremely excited: "These guests are basically young people, and they don't understand Go, but they are interested in Go. When we asked them, we found that they were all interested in Go because of "The Soul of Chess"!"

There is no doubt that the effect of "Soul of Chess" exploded.

Before this, although "The Soul of Chess" aroused the interest of many readers, readers did not have the opportunity to get involved in Go. Ordinary readers would not sign up for training classes for comics, and the chess hall was so expensive, so readers were discouraged.

Now the chess hall suddenly announced a price reduction, and the cost is lower than any other activity. Just like free, the advantages of "Chess Soul" are revealed. The comic readers in each city, even in a very small proportion, are enough to fill a small number of chess halls.

"We held an emergency meeting in the morning and decided to arrange a chess player in each chess hall to teach the guests about basic chess skills, so that these chess players can teach the guests how to play Go!" Muto added that it is difficult to play Go well, but the rules are very simple. Two beginners, as long as they know how to siege, even if they know nothing about anything else, they can easily go next game.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. There are so many curious young people in chess halls everywhere. At this time, high-end knowledge is not needed. The enthusiasm of these young people is enough to give them a preliminary understanding of Go.

Of course, this enthusiasm also has a deadline. If you don’t grasp it well, it will pass.
