Chapter 258 A Small Gift

In the spacious and luxurious living room of Jingyuan Villa, Song Ci sat leisurely on the soft sofa.

In her hand, she was playing with a trophy shining with a golden luster. It was the "Most Popular Actress" award that Miss Liu won at the College Student Film Festival not long ago.

Although it is just a popularity award, Miss Liu won it with her own ability.

In Song Ci's view, this was undoubtedly the public's recognition of his fiancée's strength and charm. He felt proud of it and was happier than if he himself had received various honorary titles.

The small and exquisite trophy spun slowly between his fingertips, reflecting a soft and dazzling light under the bright light of the living room, illuminating the pride and joy on his face.

Liu Shishi returned home after the film festival ceremony, having just washed up and looking refreshed.

With a faint fragrance after bathing, her hair still exudes mist of water vapor, and a few strands of hair stick to her fair cheeks, adding a bit of unintentional charm.

At this moment, she was lying barefoot, lazily on the sofa, looking at her mobile phone.

Suddenly, a wicked smile appeared on her face, and then she quietly stretched out a delicate, smooth, and warm jade-like jade foot.

Her movements were gentle. She first approached her fiancé cautiously, and then gently and slowly rubbed his chin with her toes. The touch was slightly cool and mixed with a hint of teasing.

Song Ci was startled by the sudden close contact, then an indulgent smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He put down the trophy in his hand, gently held Miss Liu's ankle, and tickled her soles with his fingers.

"Itchy, Yi Yi!" Liu Shishi was so amused that she couldn't help giggling and twisting her body. Her laughter was clear and pleasant, echoing in the living room.

Song Ci pretended to be angry and said, "Are you still naughty? You are stinking me with your stinky feet."

"Nonsense, I just took a shower and I smell delicious all over. If you dislike it, don't touch me tonight." Miss Liu frowned and protested angrily, looking cute and lovely.

Song Ci chuckled: "You naughty boy, you can't stand being teased."

"Hmph!" Liu Shishi turned her head away proudly, thinking to herself, Song Yiyi, you actually said that my feet smell like shit, and you blame me for not being able to take a joke. You're such a bad guy.

"Okay, okay, my poetry treasure smells delicious." After saying that, Song Ci gently kissed his fiancée's smooth instep.

Liu Shishi subconsciously retracted her little feet, recalling the tingling and numb feeling on the back of her feet just now, and felt very happy. Mr. Song really loves me!

The couple played around for a while, and Song Ci looked at the trophy in front of him and said happily, "I've told Sister Li to buy a few display cabinets tomorrow. Then we can compete to see who has won more honors."

Liu Shishi lay in Song Ci's arms. She heard the hidden meaning behind his words and blinked her bright eyes with curiosity: "Yi Yi, you also won a prize?"

Song Ci nodded slightly: "It's the May Fourth Youth Medal! The relevant government recognized me for my generous donation during last year's disaster."

Last year, the top leader had a talk with him about how he would be given the honors and semi-official status he deserves in the future. The "May Fourth Youth Medal" is just the beginning, and there will be a broader world waiting for him in the future.

"So awesome!" Looking at Song Ci's domineering look as if no one else could do it better than him, Miss Liu was full of admiration for her fiancé.

Then she pouted and said coquettishly, "Then I definitely can't compare to you. Besides, your "May Fourth Youth Medal" is more valuable than all the awards in the entertainment industry. I won't compete with you."

"We're only competing in quantity." Song Ci hugged the beauty in his arms, lowered his head slightly, and sniffed the fresh and elegant fragrance coming from Miss Liu's hair. It was the unique scent of little green plums, which made him feel safe and comfortable.

"It's fine if we just compare the quantity. Oh, dear, I remember you said last time that if I win an award at this film festival, you will give me a gift to celebrate my first award. Where is the gift?"

Liu Shishi sat up straight, stretched out her white and tender hands, palms facing up, her eyes full of stars and anticipation, and asked her fiancé for the gift that had been agreed upon long ago.

"I have never broken my promise to you. The Chinese Paladin III is going to be broadcast on TV soon, so let me give you a recommendation." Song Ci said simply, leaving the audience in suspense.

Miss Liu immediately became interested. She took Song Ci's arm affectionately and asked curiously, "What recommendation? Tell me quickly."

“Does Toutiao know about this?”

Liu Shishi nodded: "I know, it's the mobile version of Toutiao. I often read it. Speaking of this, I was just about to ask you, dear.

That day I was having a party with Lao Hu, Mimi and others. We all had Toutiao installed on our phones. We accidentally found out from chatting that everyone was reading different content.

The app recommends cosmetics and men's clothing to me. The content that Lao Hu sees is usually cars, and the content recommended to Mimi by Toutiao is also cosmetics and real estate.

Everyone is looking at different content, so aren't we all on the same website?" Miss Liu said, gesturing with her hands, her face full of confusion.

"This is the core big data technology of Tenda Group. Toutiao will select different content and recommend it to customers based on their needs and preferences."

Song Ci's tone is plain and simple, but his pride is evident in his expression.

"Tengda's technology is so powerful." Liu Shishi couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaimed, and then she understood what Song Ci meant.

As a female celebrity, I have a great demand for cosmetics and skin care products, so the APP will recommend these.

As for men's clothing, it must be because I often buy clothes for Mr. Song. It seems that "Toutiao" can indeed accurately grasp user needs.

"Without core technology, how can you think that Tengda Group can sit firmly at the top of the domestic Internet industry?"

"My husband is so great." Miss Liu raised her pretty face and gave Song Ci a gentle kiss on the cheek, sending her full admiration at the right time, bringing out the full emotional value.

"That's off topic. I just mentioned giving a recommendation for Chinese Paladin III. Specifically, before the show starts, when users of Toutiao open the app, they will see a splash screen recommendation about this TV show."

Liu Shishi seemed to understand, although she did not have a particularly deep understanding of the technical principles and promotional methods, but she knew in her heart that this recommendation from her fiancé would definitely be of great help in the promotion of "Legend of Sword and Fairy III". This gift was full of his support and love for her career.

Seeing Miss Liu's confused face, Song Ci's clear eyes revealed a hint of stupidity, so he suppressed his smile and further elaborated:

"Shishi, nowadays is an era of fragmented reading. After users open an app, they don't always read it attentively. Take you for example, do you read Toutiao non-stop?"

"No. I usually check Toutiao when I'm off work, or I alternate between it and Weibo when I have free time."

"Users watch Toutiao intermittently every day. Every time they open the app and start the program, a 3-second ad will appear on the screen. The ad time is very short, which has little impact on the user experience, but the effect of ad push is extremely obvious."

Song Ci introduced the product patiently, his tone showing confidence in the technology of his own product.

App splash screen recommendation is currently the ultimate application of mobile traffic by Tenda Group. With the continuous growth of domestic smartphone users, the effect of advertising recommendation will inevitably become more and more apparent.

This time I want to give my fiancée a small recommendation, and I also want to try the waters in the use of splash screens. If the effect is ideal, the "Today's Headlines" splash screen can officially attract advertising investment and fully expand the business territory.

After listening to the detailed explanation, Liu Shishi's eyes lit up. She realized that once this new way of promotion was used, the effect would be extremely significant.

She could already imagine that a mobile phone user would see the splash screen recommendation of "Chinese Paladin III" several times a day, and when the TV series was broadcast, it would be difficult for him not to be interested in watching one or two episodes.

"That's great. With this recommendation from you, my dear, I don't have to worry about the promotion of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III" anymore. Sister K shouldn't force me anymore, right?" Miss Liu patted her chest, looking excited.

"Did Cai Yinong force you?" Song Ci frowned slightly, feeling extremely sensitive.

Seeing her fiancé's misunderstanding, Liu Shishi hurriedly explained, "Dear, it's not what you think. Sister K just wants me to go on an episode of Happy Camp with Lao Hu, Mimi and the others to promote Chinese Paladin III, but I don't want to go."

Song Ci suddenly realized that she had just thought to herself that a woman as smart as Cai Yinong would not do something stupid to kill herself. Then she asked with concern, "What's wrong? It's just a variety show. Don't you want to go?"

Miss Liu responded timidly: "I'm slow to react. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with the pace and make a fool of myself."

Song Ci always obeyed Xiao Qingmei in such trivial matters, and followed her words and said, "If Cai Yinong has any objection, ask her to call me.

It's just Happy Camp. It's just so-so. The show is the same every year. There's no heart in it. In the future, I'll arrange for TT Video and Tengda Culture to plan a few variety shows to give the entertainment industry a little shock."

Liu Shishi's curiosity was aroused: "Yi Yi, Tengda is also going to do a variety show?"

"Yes." Song Ci just nodded. Of course, he couldn't say it clearly at this time. In the future, it is a general trend for video websites to produce their own variety shows to attract users.

"What kind?"

Song Ci thought about it and said casually: "There can be many, travel-related, life-related, emotional-related, and reality shows, etc. When you have time, you can watch Korean variety shows, which are much more interesting than domestic variety shows. I have sent someone to acquire the copyright."

"Is there any event suitable for couples or married couples to participate together?" Liu Shishi's eyes were burning, and she was making a little calculation in her mind, thinking about showing her love in front of the audience in the future with Mr. Song.

Seeing his fiancée's expectant expression, Song Ci knew what she was thinking, so he deliberately teased her, "Shishi, don't you want to be on a variety show?"

Seeing the smirk on her lover's face, Miss Liu puffed up her cheeks and said, "Song Yiyi, don't pretend to be ignorant. Just tell me if there is a program suitable for us to go on together."

Song Ci chuckled, stretched out a finger to lift Miss Liu's delicate chin, and said jokingly: "What if there is, what if there is not? What's the matter, sister Yi, have you thought it through, are you ready to tell me?"

Liu Shishi was like a deflated ball: "Give me a little more time, dear. In about two years, I will definitely be able to sit firmly on the top. By then, I will make an official announcement under the spotlight of the public, and make those women in the entertainment industry envy me to death."

"Okay, I don't care, you can do whatever you want." Song Ci no longer insisted on the official announcement, and then he hugged his fiancée around the waist and said, "My wife, it's getting late, let's go and rest."

At the end of April, Tengda Group suddenly announced that it would officially become the agent for the operation of Blizzard's phenomenal online game World of Warcraft.

As soon as this news came out, the entire Internet industry was in an uproar.

"The Nine Cities stock price plummeted 18% in early trading!"

"Perfect World urgently convened a conference call with investors."

"NetEase protests against Tengda Group's use of unfair competition methods."

Major media platforms have pushed related reports, and netizens' discussion heat has skyrocketed.

As a game with a huge player base and extremely high popularity, the change of the agency rights of "World of Warcraft" undoubtedly dropped a bombshell in the industry.

With this blockbuster news, Tengda Group's status in the online gaming field has instantly risen infinitely, and it seems to be the only one in the world.

Many game companies, Internet enterprises and industry observers reacted strongly to this.

Many companies are jealous of the huge profits and market influence brought by "World of Warcraft" and are unwilling to see Tenda Group swallow up this tempting big cake alone.

Some competitors have begun to urgently adjust their strategies, trying to find new breakthroughs in order to get a share of the fierce market competition.

At this moment, Song Ci was sitting in the office, carefully checking the relevant information on the Internet.

"Industry experts pointed out that the successful agency of World of Warcraft by Tenda Group will not only further expand its share in the online game market, but will also have a profound impact on its brand image and overall strength.

Other companies have to face even more severe challenges. How to find a development path that suits them under the strong suppression of Tengda Group has become a difficult problem for them. ”

"An official from the General Administration revealed that they are closely monitoring market trends and considering strengthening supervision of the online gaming industry."

“Does Tengda Group constitute a monopoly in the gaming industry?”

The previous news was fine, but when I saw the last few, my pupils shrank and I muttered to myself: "The storm is coming."

At the same time, several domestic game company CEOs are secretly contacting each other through encrypted calls to discuss countermeasures.

"Old Chen, if you use this move, you will hurt the enemy by 1,000 and yourself by 800. Be careful."

"That's better than a slow death."

"What do you think, Mr. Ding?"

"No matter how strong Tenda is, people still play our games and we still make money. Some people are more anxious than us and are almost going bankrupt because of Tenda."

"Mr. Ding means to let Qvod take the first step?"

"This is a great idea. Let's add fuel to the fire."

"It's feasible. Let's see how powerful that noble young man is and whether he can stop the counterattack of Qvod."
