Chapter 557 A Billion Applause and a White House Show
……

It has to be said that people who study the abstract field of artificial intelligence have a special string in their heads, which makes this poker battle full of intellectual game skills.

It wasn't until late at night that Tang Huan, who was enjoying himself, snapped his fingers, "I have learned everyone's skills, so let's stop here."

Playing is also an art of communicating with each other and enhancing mutual trust.

The Symantec team not only appreciated Tang Huan's demeanor, admired his personal charm, obtained the resources urgently needed for the company's development, but also deeply agreed with the industry prospect he described.

"In this way, the computer used by Stephen Hawking represents the direction in which artificial intelligence is most likely to provide practical services for the general public in the future." Gordon Eubanks said with longing: "If there is a chance, I hope to hear his great scientist's views on artificial intelligence."

"Perhaps, it is precisely because the assistant of artificial intelligence has really helped Stephen Hawking that he is worried that artificial intelligence will one day be so powerful that it threatens human beings." Tang Huan laughed, ended the conversation, and ordered the assistant to bring These people go to rest.

Although they didn't get along for a long time, Tang Huan already had a good understanding of Symantec's management.To be honest, he was quite surprised by Gordon Eubanks' current performance.

At the beginning, Seymour Rubinstein went to the Digital Research Company to purchase operating systems and BASIC compilers for IMSAI's personal computers, using his business talents, but he learned a lot from Gary Kildare and Gordon Euban The license fees of CP/M and CBASIC are all packaged and bought at one time, rather than billed per copy.

Tang Huan vaguely remembered that when he met Gordon Eubanks for the first time at the Digital Research Company five years ago, the other party gave him the same impression as his teacher Gary Kildare, who was brilliant but dared not have business talents. compliment.But now it seems that Gordon Eubanks has made up for this shortcoming.

Perhaps, Symantec's power structure is a little bit misplaced, and Gordon Eubanks is a bit out of place in the position of chairman of the board of directors. He should be the CEO.

Thinking of this, Tang Huan shook his head gently. He didn't need to personally guide these investment projects. Since he chose the current team, he should let go and believe that they would adjust to the best condition on their own.

……

Although the affairs in San Francisco were complicated, Tang Huan put it aside for the time being and left for Washington.

Deng Lijun's North American tour has a total of five stops - San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York in the United States, Vancouver and Toronto in Canada, all of which have been successfully completed so far.

After careful calculation, this is Deng Lijun's third North American tour, and she is quite familiar with it, so Tang Huan has nothing to worry about.However, the following performance was quite different, and he had to sit in person.

The first lady of the United States, Nancy Tang, had a special appreciation for Tang Huan, a friend of middle-aged and elderly women. After hearing that Deng Lijun's tour came to the United States, 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. Many things cannot escape the influence of political considerations. chips.

But the White House show always has its special features, and some disputes cannot be stopped if you want to.Take the White House's announcement of this event as an example, how to introduce Deng Lijun's identity is a trouble, after all, this is not an ordinary performance occasion.Especially on June 6, not long ago, the first military conflict between the two sides of the strait since 27 occurred on the Kinmen side, adding to the tense atmosphere.

Under such delicate circumstances, Tang Huan naturally had to step forward and escort Deng Lijun's performance.

He wants to clearly express a signal: this invitation by the first lady of the United States is to save face for me, Tang, and it is purely personal, so there is no need to make a big fuss.

It's no wonder that all parties are concerned. You know, Deng Lijun's world tour operation team has a slogan, "Applause from a billion people."Starting from Xiangjiang in Asia, passing through Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, and then to North America, the momentum is extremely huge. Wherever it goes, it not only attracts local Chinese, but also attracts special attention from other cultural groups.

Politically sensitive people naturally cannot turn a blind eye to this kind of world-level influence.

When Tang Huan saw Deng Lijun, she poured out the great pressure in her heart and said a few words, "You are here, I am so nervous."

"After so many years of ups and downs, what big scene have you never seen?" Tang Huan gently encouraged Deng Lijun while holding Deng Lijun's hand, "Remember, this performance is no different, it's just that the audience is a little bigger."

"It's not just big names." Deng Lijun rolled her eyes at Tang Huan, "I have read the list of invited guests, ambassadors from various countries, celebrities from all walks of life in the United States, the specifications are unimaginably high."

"So what, am I Bai Ding?" Tang Huan asked proudly.

"Of course you are amazing." Deng Lijun immediately praised him tenderly, which greatly satisfied the vanity of the man in front of him.

"That's it." Tang Huan smiled slightly, "But if you're unhappy, why don't you just ask me."

Deng Lijun was amused with a puff, the previous tension was swept away, she stretched cutely, and murmured coquettishly, "Now is not the same as before, I dare not send you down."

Tang Huan raised his hand, caressed Deng Lijun's face affectionately, and said softly: "With me here, you don't have to think about those off-court 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 don't leave, how can people rest well with you here?"

……

As early as the John F. Kennedy era, various music masters, poets, writers, actors and singers were invited to the White House to perform, making this a stage for them to showcase their art.

However, it is very rare for a singer from the East like Deng Lijun 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 a film "Hu Hua Qing Qing" with a good box office reputation in front of it. The music album of the same name was once announced in the United States. The card occupies the top position, and it is still in the front position at this time.

Therefore, although the first lady of the United States, Nancy, who is not popular in some American media, this invitation is a bit surprising, but it is not difficult to accept.

The performance venue is located in the East Room on the state floor of the White House, which can accommodate [-] guests. It is usually used for large-scale receptions, dances and various commemorative ceremonies.

It can be seen that Nancy has put a lot of thought into this event, and it is completely arranged according to the standards of a grand cultural exchange event. The invited guests and their wives walked into the hall with a relaxed and comfortable expression, and took their seats.Among them are Zhang Wenjin, the Chinese ambassador to the United States, and Qian Fu, the representative of Baodao in the United States. The meaning of this is very subtle.

Regardless of that, Tang Huan greeted them separately, which was considered a kind of communication.

Media Asia TV in Hong Kong, Taiwan TV in Taiwan, and New Era Chinese Channel in Canada belong to the mother family among the media participating in the report, and they are all on the alert, lest they miss important details of the concert.

The concert began shortly after Nancy walked into the East Hall, holding Reagan's arm and smiling to the media.

Deng Lijun has her own band, harmony, dancers and other team configurations. She has cooperated very tacitly along the way, and she also performed well on this special occasion.

The first song is "Betel Nut Picking". It was composed by Li Jinguang in the 1930s based on the Hunan folk song "Shuangchuan Diao", with lyrics written by Yin Yiqiu and original sung by Zhou Xuan. It is catchy, concise and bright. Once it was released, it became popular in Shanghai. It has become a classic song; now, under the interpretation of Deng Lijun's classic Deng's singing style, it is graceful and graceful, and it also reveals a lively and playful tone.

If "Picking Betel Nuts" is an exotic style here, then the next second song - the theme song "IWillAlwaysLoveYou" of the movie "Hu Hua Qing Qing" is the original and down-to-earth flavor.

With the support of Tang Huan, Deng Lijun, who has no worries, made various attempts and breakthroughs in music, and achieved great results. She demonstrated this kind of performance at the Xiangjiang concert, rock, R&B and other styles. Handy.

The song "I Will Always Love You", which was written, composed and sung by American country singer Dolly Parton, was first released in 1974. After Deng Lijun's reinterpretation, it became very popular in the United States. The position on the list speaks for itself of this level of recognition.

The third song is a well-arranged music medley, which is unique in that Deng Lijun sings it in Mandarin, Japanese, English, Cantonese, Taiwanese, Indonesian, French and other languages ​​with ease and ease .

In the audience, all the ladies covered their mouths with their hands, so as not to make a sound of surprise.

After taking a panoramic view of the reactions of the people around her, Nancy raised her head proudly.This activity was arranged by her, it was so exciting, and naturally she had a radiant face.

In fact, there is another activity in Nancy's heart that is not easy to publicize, that is, since she became the first lady of the United States, the relationship between her and the American media has always lacked a kind of heart-warming harmony.

Nancy's decoration of the White House has attracted all kinds of criticism from the media, especially the luxurious wardrobe, which has become a target of verbal criticism. It seems that the IQ, EQ, and taste of the first lady of the United States are not so competent.

The actual situation is of course not the case, Nancy is not a simple woman.You know, during Reagan's tenure as governor of California, she gained a lot of political resources for her husband by making friends with famous ladies and ladies.

The reason why Nancy invited Deng Lijun to perform at the White House was of course for Tang Huan's sake, and to make friends with this young billionaire.

This year is the year of the U.S. general election, and judging from public media reports, one-third of the political donations made by companies under Tang Huan's name in recent years have gone to the Democratic Party, and the remaining two-thirds have gone to the Democratic Party. The Republican Party.This shows the tendency of this Silicon Valley overlord and Hollywood tycoon.

At this stage, the discord between Nancy and some American media is nothing more than an indispensable annoyance for the hostess of the White House under American culture.

Deng Lijun's successful performance, in Nancy's opinion, is the best slap in the face for those media who criticize her.

Deng Lijun was a little tired after dedicating three carefully prepared songs at the beginning, so she took the time to introduce her team, most of whom are musicians from Japan.

Seeing this scene, Yoshio Okawara, the Japanese ambassador to the United States, slapped his hands loudly with pride, attracting the attention of many people.

Tang Huan glared at the other party angrily, thinking, can your uncle appreciate it honestly and not steal the limelight?
After Deng Lijun introduced the team, she generously thanked Nancy for her invitation and the audience for coming in English.The East Hall of the White House is not very large, so the distance between the audience and the audience is very close, and the interaction is very convenient.Many wives couldn't help being curious, and struck up a conversation with Deng Lijun.

Among them, the short conversation between the wife of the French ambassador to the United States and Deng Lijun is the most eye-catching, because both sides use French, so it directly proves that the language ability revealed by Deng Lijun in the music medley just performed is not a temporary cramming It looks like a product, it has real materials.

The performance at the White House could not be too long, including the interactive session, it was about an hour. In the end, Deng Lijun ended the performance with a Chinese and English version of "The First Dream".

Then came the more tedious social aspects.Nancy hugged Deng Lijun happily, and then gave her a beautiful rose brooch as a souvenir.

The reporters from Media Asia TV, Taiwan TV, and New Era Chinese Channel were too busy. They kept pressing the shutter button to take a group photo of Deng Lijun shaking hands with various celebrities.

In the end, TTV took advantage of the fact that she is from her hometown, and interviewed Deng Lijun first.

The reporter himself was so excited that he was a little incoherent, and asked, "Ms. Deng, the next stop of your world tour will be back to Baodao, right? Everyone is looking forward to seeing your demeanor on 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 in Taiwan, but before that, according to the plan, the world tour will include London and Paris in Europe." Two stops."

Dissatisfied with being preempted, the "Washington Post" reporter interrupted at this time, "Teresa Deng, you have been praised as a billion applause. Does your world tour include mainland China?"

Facing the unceremonious and sharp questions from Western reporters, Deng Lijun acted calmly, "It depends on whether the conditions of all aspects allow it."

Tang Huan, who was standing in the distance, frowned when he saw this scene, and cursed secretly: "These guys are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, so they run on people like this!"

That's enough, I chatted with the media for a while, and I've done my best, so let's accept it as soon as I see it.

Thinking of this, Tang Huan secretly made a reminder gesture, and the assistants hurriedly escorted Deng Lijun away.
