Chapter 0584 Billion Applause and White House Show
...
It has to be said that people who study abstract fields such as artificial intelligence have a special string in their heads, which makes this card battle full of intellectual game skills.
It was not until late at night that Tang Huan, who was enjoying himself, snapped his fingers, "I have learned about your skills, so let's go here."
Play is also an art of communicating with each other and enhancing mutual trust.
Symantec and his group not only appreciated Tang Huan's style, impressed his personal charm, and obtained the resources urgently needed for the company's development, but also deeply agreed with the industry prospects he described.
"So, the computer used by Stephen Hawking represents the direction in which artificial intelligence is most likely to provide practical services to the general public in the future." Gordon Eubanks said with a longing for him: "If you have the opportunity, I hope to hear his great scientist's view on artificial intelligence."
"Perhaps, it is precisely because the assistant of artificial intelligence has indeed helped Stephen Hawking that he is worried that artificial intelligence will one day be as powerful as threatening humans." Tang Huan laughed, ended the conversation, and ordered his assistant to take these people to rest.
Although they didn't spend much time together, Tang Huan already knew Symantec's management well. To be honest, he felt quite surprised by Gordon Eubanks' current performance.
At the beginning, Seymour Rubinstein went to Digital Research to buy operating systems and BA private C compilers for ISSAI's personal computers, and used his business skills. He made a lot of cheap money from Gary Kildale and Gordon Eubanks. The licensing fees for CP/M and CA private C are purchased in one piece, rather than billed for each copy.
Tang Huan vaguely remembers that when he first met Gordon Eubanks at a digital research company five years ago, the impression he gave was similar to his teacher Gary Kildale. He was very talented but his business talent was not satisfactory. But now it seems that Gordon Eubanks has made up for this shortcoming.
Perhaps, Symantec's power structure is a little misplaced, and it is a bit in a difficult position to put Gordon Eubanks as chairman of the board of directors, so he should be the CEO.
Thinking of this, Tang Huan shook his head gently. There was no need to give instructions on these investment projects in person. Since he chose the current team, he should let go and believe that they will adjust their best condition by themselves.
...
Although the affairs in San Francisco were complicated, Tang Huan still gave up temporarily and set off for Washington.
Deng Lijun's tour in North America has a total of five stops - San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and Vancouver, Canada, and Toronto. All of them have been successfully completed.
After careful calculation, this is Deng Lijun's third North American tour. She is very familiar with it, and Tang Huan has nothing to worry about. However, the next performance is quite unique, and he must take charge of it himself.
The first lady of the United States, Nancy, has a very extraordinary appreciation for Tang Huan, a middle-aged and elderly woman. After hearing that Deng Lijun came to the United States for a tour, she fulfilled her previous proposal and invited her to perform at the White House.
This is naturally a rare opportunity, but today's era also has its sadness, and many things cannot escape the influence of political considerations, even if Mr. Jiang reaches a settlement with Tang Huan in private, Deng Lijun will no longer be counted as the bargaining chip for the cross-strait confrontation.
But the White House performances always have their own special features. Some disputes cannot be stopped just by stopping. Take the White House’s announcement of this event to the public. How to introduce Deng Lijun’s identity is a problem, after all, this is not an ordinary performance occasion. Especially on June 27, the first military conflict between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait occurred in Kinmen since 1979, which added to the tension.
In this subtle situation, Tang Huan naturally had to stand up and escort Deng Lijun's performance.
He wanted to express a clear signal: this invitation from the First Lady of the United States was to give me face to Mr. Tang, which was purely personal, so there was no need to make a big fuss.
No wonder all parties care. You should know that Deng Lijun's world tour operation team has put forward a slogan, namely "Applause from one billion people". Starting from Hong Kong in Asia, passing through Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, and then to North America, the momentum is extremely huge. Wherever they go, it not only attracted local Chinese people, but also attracted special attention from other cultural groups.
This kind of world-class influence, politically sensitive people naturally cannot ignore it.
When Tang Huan saw Deng Lijun, she confides the huge pressure in her heart and says a few words, "You are here, I'm so nervous."
"After so many years of ups and downs, you haven't seen any big scenes?" Tang Huan held Deng Lijun's hand and encouraged softly, "Remember, this performance is no different, it's just that the audience has made some big names."
"It's not just a little bit big." Deng Lijun gave Tang Huan a look, "I've learned about the list of invited guests, ambassadors from all over the country, and celebrities from all walks of life in the United States, and the specifications are unimaginable."
"So what, am I Bai Ding?" Tang Huan asked proudly.
"Of course you are amazing." Deng Lijun immediately praised warmly, greatly satisfying the vanity of the man in front of him.
"That's it." Tang Huan smiled slightly, "But if you are unhappy, you still ask me."
Deng Lijun was amused with a puff, and her previous nervousness was swept away. She stretched her waist cutely and muttered lazily, "It's not as good as before, and I don't dare to send you a chance."
Tang Huan raised his hand, stroked Deng Lijun's face lovingly, and whispered: "With me here, don't think about those off-site factors, adjust your state with peace of mind, and conquer all the audience with your most beautiful side!"
Deng Lijun blushed and pushed Tang Huan, "Then you are not leaving yet. With you here, how can someone have a good rest?"
...
As early as the era of John Kennedy, various music masters, poets, writers, actors and singers were invited to perform at the White House, making this a stage for them to show their art.
However, it is very rare for singers from the East to perform on stage.
Of course, Deng Lijun is not an unknown person in the United States now. In addition to the sensational effect brought by the concert, there is also the movie "Protecting the Flowers" with a good box office reputation as the foundation. The music album of the same name once occupied the top spot on the US Billboard and was still ranked at the top at this time.
Therefore, although it is a bit surprising to send this invitation to Nancy, the first lady of the United States, is not popular in some American media.
The performance venue is located in the East Hall on the National Level of the White House, which can accommodate 300 guests. It is usually used as a celebration of large receptions, dances and various commemorative ceremonies.
It can be seen that Nancy spent a lot of thought on this event, which was arranged completely according to the standards of a cultural exchange event. The invited guests walked into the hall with their wives in a relaxed and comfortable manner, and each sat down. Among them were Chinese Ambassador to the United States, Zhang Wenjin, and Qian Fu, the representative of Baodao to the United States, which was very subtle.
Tang Huan doesn’t care about those, and saying hello to them separately is also a kind of communication.
Hong Kong's China Television and Baodao TV TV and Canada's New Era Chinese Channel are all family members in the media participating in the reporting process, and they are all ready for battle, and may miss important details of the concert.
The concert began shortly after Nancy took Reagan's arm and smiled and walked into the East Hall with the media.
Deng Lijun has his own exclusive team configuration for bands, harmony, dancers, etc., and has worked very well together all the way, and she performed well on this special occasion.
The first song is "Picking Betel nut". In the 1930s, Li Jinguang composed the song "Shuangchuan Tune" based on the Hunan folk song "Shuangchuan Tune", written by Yin Yiqiu, and the original sing of Zhou Xuan. It is catchy, concise and bright. Once released, it became popular in the sea and became a classic song. Now, under the interpretation of Deng Lijun's classic Deng's singing style, it is graceful and graceful. It also exudes a lively and playful look.
If "Picking Betel nut" is an exotic style here, then the theme song "iwillalwayslove" of the next second song - the movie "Protecting Flowers and Loving Love" is a down-to-earth original flavor.
With the support of Tang Huan, Deng Lijun, who had no worries, made various attempts and breakthroughs in music and achieved great results. She performed such displays, rock, r&b and other styles at the concert in Xiangjiang, and she was able to control them easily.
This song "iwillalwayslove" was first released in 1974 by American country singer Dory Patton, lyrics and songs and original singer. After Deng Lijun's reinterpretation, it became very popular in the United States. Her position on the Billboard Top 100 Singles Chart shows this recognition.
The third song is a carefully arranged musical skewer. Its peculiarity is that Deng Lijun sang it easily and freely in Chinese, Japanese, English, Cantonese, Taiwanese, Indonesian, French and other languages.
In the audience below, the ladies covered their mouths with their hands to avoid being surprised and distorted.
After catching all the reactions of the people around her, Nancy raised her head proudly. This activity was made by her arrangement, so wonderful that it naturally had a bright face.
In fact, Nancy has another difficult activity in her heart, that is, since she became the first lady of the United States, her relationship with the American media has always lacked a warm harmony.
Nancy's decoration of the White House has caused various criticisms from the media, especially the luxurious wardrobe, which has become a target of criticism. It seems that the IQ, EQ and taste of the first lady in the United States are not so competent.
Of course, this is not the case. Nancy is not a simple woman. You should know that during her tenure as the governor of California, she brought a lot of political resources for her husband by making friends with famous ladies.
The reason why Nancy invited Deng Lijun to perform at the White House was of course because of Tang Huan's face, in order to make friends with this young billionaire.
This year is the year of the US election. According to public media reports, one-third of the political donations of enterprises under Tang Huan in recent years have been given to the Democratic Party, and the remaining two-thirds have been given to the Communist Party. This shows the tendency of this Silicon Valley overlord and Hollywood tycoon.
At this stage, the disagreement between Nancy and some American media is just an inevitable worry for the White House maid under American culture.
In Nancy's view, Deng Lijun's successful performance is the best slap to the media that criticizes her.
Deng Lijun, who had devoted three carefully prepared songs in the opening stage, was also a little tired, so he took the time to introduce his team, most of which were musicians from Japan.
Seeing this, Japanese Ambassador to the United States, Ryoo Ogawara, was proud to slap his hands, which attracted many people's attention.
Tang Huan glared at the other party angrily, thinking to himself, can you admire it honestly and not steal the limelight?
After Deng Lijun introduced the team, he generously thanked Nancy for his invitation and the audience in English. The East Hall of the White House was not very big, so the audience was very close to the stage and the interaction was very convenient. Many wives couldn't help but be curious and started chatting with Deng Lijun.
Among them, the short dialogue between the wife of the French ambassador to the United States and Deng Lijun is the most eye-catching. Because both sides use French, it directly proves that the language skills that Deng Lijun revealed in the music skewers she performed just now are not a temporary cram, but are real.
The performance in the White House cannot be too long, including the interactive session, which only lasted for about an hour. In the end, Deng Lijun ended the performance with a Chinese and English version of "The Original Dream".
After that, there was a more cumbersome social link. Nancy hugged Deng Lijun happily and gave her a beautiful rose brooch as a souvenir.
The reporters from China Asia TV, TV and the Chinese New Era were very busy and kept pressing the shutter to take a photo of Deng Lijun shaking hands with celebrities.
Finally, Taiwan Television took advantage of its convenience of being a native of his hometown to interview Deng Lijun first.
The reporter himself was so excited that he was a little incoherent, and asked, "Ms. Deng, you will return to Baodao at the next stop of your world tour, right? Everyone hopes to appreciate your style on the stage as soon as possible."
Deng Lijun, who finished the performance perfectly, was also a little excited and replied with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness. Of course, I want to hold a concert on Baodao, but before that, according to the plan, the world tour will have two stops in Europe, London and Paris."
The Washington Post reporter who was dissatisfied with being preempted, said, "Telisa Deng, you are praised as one billion applause. Does it include mainland China in your world tour?"
In the face of the blunt and sharp questions from Western reporters, Deng Lijun was very calm, "It depends on whether the conditions in all aspects allow it."
After seeing this scene, Tang Huan raised his eyebrows and cursed to himself: "These guys are afraid that the world will not be in chaos and will be like this!"
Okay, I chatted with the media for a while and it was over. I’ll stop when I see it.
When Tang Huan thought of this, he secretly made a reminder gesture, and the assistants quickly escorted Deng Lijun away.
Chapter completed!
