Chapter 474 Song Yun Song Yu

Li Jianxi's eyes were half closed, and he listened quietly. It was difficult to find much emotion on his wrinkled face.

It was as if he was weighing the true weight and long-term impact behind every word and every promise with extreme calmness.

After a moment, the Korean business leader slowly spoke, "Mr. Song, technical cooperation, patent cross-licensing, market priority supply... these frameworks can be further promoted by Fuzhen and your team."

As soon as he finished speaking, the subject suddenly changed, and a sharp light suddenly burst out from his deep eyes: "But these are definitely not the core of Samsung's future.

Samsung's real competitiveness lies in building a mobile ecosystem, exploring the next generation of human-computer interaction, and integrating artificial intelligence into hardware for disruptive innovation.

Tenda's strength in your country and even the global Internet ecosystem, especially in the research and development and application of big data and artificial intelligence, is obvious to all."

Song Ci's heart moved slightly. He never thought that this business tycoon who was over seventy years old could still keep such a keen eye on the forefront of world science and technology.

He even knows Tenda's layout in the field of artificial intelligence very well. He is truly a hero who should not be underestimated.

His eyes shifted slightly, then he regained his composure and responded calmly, "President Li, if you have any thoughts, please speak frankly. I'm all ears."

"Apple's Siri is truly amazing!" Li Jianxi leaned forward and his tone suddenly became more serious.

"Although it's not perfect, it's already reshaping the experience of smart devices. Samsung can't fall behind and must be able to fully compete with it, or even strategically surpass it."

Pause for a moment and state the ultimate goal.

"My condition is that Tenda must share its R&D experience in artificial intelligence, natural language processing, deep learning, and user behavior prediction with Samsung.

Jointly develop an AI voice assistant exclusively for Samsung phones."

Li Jianxi's eyes were sharp as he continued, "Mr. Song, Samsung needs Tenda's technical support to quickly narrow the gap with Apple and seize the technological commanding heights of the next generation of high-end smart devices."

The study fell into a brief silence, and the air seemed to freeze.

The light of the city outside the window passed over Song Ci's face, reflecting his bottomless eyes. He knew too well the weight of this condition.

This has far exceeded the transaction scope of material recycling technology. The other party is directly targeting Tenda's future technological moat.

Using one's own strengths in artificial intelligence to exchange for someone else's auxiliary materials and hardware may not seem equal on the surface;

Moreover, although Tenda Technology and Dewen Manufacturing belong to the same company, they are ultimately two different companies.

His mind raced as a bigger blueprint unfolded in Song Ci's mind.

In fact, he is not opposed to in-depth cooperation with Samsung in the field of AI, because artificial intelligence is not something that can be monopolized by one company, and open source collaboration is the only way forward.

Although Tenda currently holds a leading position, it still requires real, massive, and diverse user interaction data to refine its large-scale models and verify its capabilities. If it continues to rely solely on closed-off self-research, it will eventually be left behind by the times.

The collaboration with Samsung is an excellent opportunity to put Tenda AI into practical use on the world's top hardware platform.

Especially in the face of complex multi-language and multi-cultural scenarios, Samsung's annual sales of hundreds of millions of units will turn into an irreplaceable ocean of data.

These fresh and continuous user behaviors are precious fuel for training stronger AI and are treasures that cannot be simulated in any laboratory.

In the short term, Samsung will leverage Tenda's strength to rapidly improve its voice assistant to compete with Apple and seize the high-end market.

But in the long run, Tenda will use this to access the global data torrent and build a solid data advantage for training truly general artificial intelligence models in the future.

After a moment of silence, Song Ci raised his eyes, his gaze as clear as water, meeting Li Jianxi's eyes that were oppressive but also contained a hint of expectation.

"Yes. Artificial intelligence holds the key to the future, and sharing it with others is worse than owning it all. Tenda Artificial Intelligence Lab is willing to open its algorithms and data processing pipelines to collaborative projects."

Our best algorithm engineers and application scientists will work closely with Samsung's top software and hardware teams to create the world's top mobile voice interaction experience.

However, President Li, there are still differences between Tengda Technology and Dewen Manufacturing."

As soon as these words came out, surprise flashed across Li Jianxi’s old face, and he quickly and solemnly promised: “Chairman Song’s foresight and courage are admirable.

Rest assured, Samsung will exchange AI applications with technology of equal value. Samsung, Tenda, and Dewen will now join hands to embark on a new chapter.”

Song Ci nodded slightly, his tone a little lighter: "President Li is a quick-witted person! I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation!"

The two hands are tightly clasped at this moment, one showing signs of time, but still containing tremendous strength; the other is in its prime, full of determination and resoluteness.

And the waves have just begun to rise.

It was late at night when the negotiations ended.

Song Ci returned to the presidential suite on the top floor of the Shilla Hotel. Pushing the door shut him out from the noisy banquet and the turbulent undercurrents in the study.

The suite is warm and quiet, like another world.

He casually draped his custom-made suit jacket over the armrest of the sofa. His brows showed fatigue after the negotiations, but more of a calmness that came with everything settled.

There was a slight noise coming from the direction of the bathroom, and a faint fragrance mixed with steam drifted over.

A moment later, Liu Shishi came out wearing a silk nightgown. Her unmade-up face looked beautiful and soft in the dim light from the window, and her wet long hair was casually draped over her shoulders.

As she was wiping the ends of her hair with a towel, she saw her husband return, and her eyes instantly showed tenderness: "You're back? Did the talk go well?"

"Yeah." Song Ci walked forward and took the towel naturally, gently wiping his wife's hair. "Old ginger is still witty. I paid a price, but I didn't suffer any loss."

Liu Shishi leaned into her husband's arms, enjoying this moment of tenderness.

Looking at the halo of light flowing into the room from the window, his eyes flickered slightly: "Look, the night view of Seoul from here has a unique charm. There is a sense of distance in the bustling city."

Song Ci hugged her and looked out the window. The light of Nanshan Tower in the distance flickered, and the traffic on the street downstairs was still flowing.

"How was the banquet tonight? I saw you chatting with those presidents and directors for a long time." Liu Shishi changed the subject in a lazy voice.

"It's nothing more than a confrontation and test on the scene." Song Ci said slowly, "The vice president of Hyundai is very interested in Dewen's new energy battery layout.

SK's special assistant also hinted at Tenda's next investment intention in the field of semiconductor design software.

He paused, lowered his head and rubbed his chin against the fragrance of his wife's hair, chuckled and joked, "But the most dazzling person in the audience is still my wife. Several ladies are praising your dress and temperament."

Liu Shishi's eyebrows curved into crescents as she turned her head to look at her husband's handsome face. "Really? Then I've made Mr. Richer proud."

"Of course." Song Ci lowered his head and placed a soft kiss on her smooth forehead. "You're not just a face-lifter, you're also my good wife."

The couple smiled at each other, and the room was filled with tacit understanding and warmth that needed no words.

Song Ci pulled his wife over to the window and sat down on the sofa. "How about you? How was your chat with those famous ladies?"

Liu Shishi suddenly laughed out loud, as if she had just remembered something funny. "I know a Ms. Jin whose husband is the mayor. What do you think she described her husband's special talent as?"

Before Song Ci could speak, she couldn't help but say, "He can stand hunger! She said her husband can stand hunger very well."

Song Ci was stunned and inexplicably thought of the "King of Hunger Endurance of the Peninsula", but he didn't see him at the dinner.

I didn't think too much about this little episode. It was only 2013, and it was still too early for that person to appear on the East Asian stage. Moreover, with myself as a variable, the future of the world was full of unknowns.

After quietly watching the night view for a while, Liu Shishi suddenly sighed softly, "Speaking of which, Miss Fuzhen is really admirable.

She has a lot of energy. She has to shoulder family responsibilities, manage her own career, and navigate so many male-dominated situations with ease. It's not something most people can do."

He paused, his voice filled with a vague longing: "When our future children grow up, I wonder if they will have the ability and courage to support a business as big as Tengda?"

Song Ci tightened his grip around her shoulders, his gaze still fixed on the sea of ​​lights outside the window. His tone was calm and clear, "Shishi, we don't have to be so obsessed with our children."

He turned his head and stared at his wife's beautiful profile, "The domestic environment is different from the Korean chaebol model, and will not allow the existence of a 'hereditary monopoly' consortium.

What a child will become in the future depends first on his choices and talents."

He took a deep breath and spoke in a calm and open-minded voice: "If you have enough qualifications, are willing and able, and are interested in taking on the responsibility, that would be the best. We will provide you with the best education and experience.

But if they have ordinary qualifications, or are not interested in this, and just want to be a happy ordinary person, we should also support them.

There is nothing wrong with letting him be a rich man with peace of mind, handing over the group to a professional team, enjoying the dividends of technology, and living a peaceful and happy life.

The continuation of his wealth and business empire should not be a cross he must bear."

Liu Shishi listened, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, with a bit of a mother's instinct for strength and preparedness: "That's what you said, but Tengda is your hard work.

I still hope my child will be like you, even more outstanding, at least have the ability to protect the family business? Elite education must be started from a young age, otherwise how will they deal with complex situations in the future?

Song Ci looked at his wife's serious expression, chuckled softly, his eyes full of tolerance.

He reached out and gently smoothed her frown, his gesture filled with pity: "Okay, I'll do as you say. Elite education is fine, but don't push him too much. The most important thing is that he has a happy childhood."

There was no further argument. This was simply his wife's beautiful hope for the future, tinged with a touch of gentle anxiety. There was still plenty of time, and everything could be done slowly.

Liu Shishi also felt that she was a little too hasty. She smiled and leaned her head back on her beloved's shoulder, muttering softly, "I'm just thinking about it..."

Song Ci suddenly realized that his wife was a little abnormal tonight. Why was she suddenly so concerned about the child's education?

In an instant, a thought flashed through his mind, and he asked anxiously, "Shishi, are you pregnant?"

Liu Shishi was startled, and subconsciously stroked her flat belly, shaking her head: "No."

Song Ci didn't say anything more, fearing that she would think too much, and just tightened his arms and hugged her tighter.

Liu Shishi sighed softly, secretly hating herself for not living up to her expectations, and her mood suddenly became depressed.

Seeing her like this, Song Ci quickly changed the subject: "I have already thought of a name for our future child."

Liu Shishi's interest was piqued, and she curiously asked, "What's the name?"

Song Ci's face was filled with paternal tenderness: "If it's a boy, he'll be named Song Yun; if it's a girl, she'll be named Song Yu."

"Yun and Yu, is there anything special about it?" Liu Shishi became interested, like a curious baby.

"Yun means to hide wisdom within; Yu means to spread light to the world." Song Ci explained softly.

Liu Shishi suddenly realized, and her heart was filled with warmth and enlightenment. Aren’t these two words the most true portrayal of the two of them?

Her husband is introverted and low-key, and acts with the wisdom of "a gentleman hides his abilities and waits for the right time to act"; and she herself is a top actress, shining brightly.

As soon as she understood, Liu Shishi's eyes were filled with tenderness, and she murmured, "Song Yun, Song Yu, they sound really nice. I like both names and hope to use them both."

Song Ci's eyes flashed with eagerness, his fingertips caressed the delicate skin, and his breathing gradually became rapid: "We have to work harder if we want to use everything we want."

The two stopped talking, their figures gradually overlapping on the sofa. Outside the window, the night sky of Seoul remained as bright and deep as ink.

The next day, the sky in Seoul was clear and the sunlight cast a warm glow on this city where modernity and tradition are intertwined.

Song Ci and Liu Shishi took a rare break, putting aside their identities as business tycoons and big stars, and traveling together like ordinary tourists.

The two walked past the vermilion walls of Gyeongbokgung Palace and through the bluestone paths of Bukchon Hanok Village, always causing a small commotion wherever they went.

Liu Shishi gained great popularity in South Korea for her role as "Ruoxi" in "Scarlet Heart", and her elegant and gentle image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

When many fans recognized her, surprise and admiration flashed in their eyes. Some called out "Ruoxi" in awkward Chinese, while others politely stepped forward and asked for a photo.

In the afternoon, the two stopped at a traditional teahouse in Insadong and slowly savored the fragrant ginseng tea.

Suddenly, Song Ci's phone vibrated, and the caller ID showed that it was his subordinate Liu Rong.

"Mr. Song, I'm sorry to bother you." Liu Rong's voice was clear and excited. "I just received an invitation for cooperation from the headquarters of SBS TV in South Korea."

"SBS? One of the three major TV stations in South Korea." Song Ci raised his eyebrows slightly and asked curiously, "What exactly are they going to cooperate on?"

"It's about 'My Love from the Star.'" Liu Rong couldn't hide her surprise and joy in her words. "SBS said that this drama has caused a phenomenal craze in Korea and even Asia, and its reputation and influence have far exceeded expectations.

After internal evaluation, they hope to obtain overseas remake authorization to produce a Korean version of "My Love from the Star."

"My Love from the Star" was starred by Fan Bingbing and Qiao Zhengyu, and achieved great success in China and other parts of Asia, but it has been several years since then.

It was beyond Song Ci's expectation that the drama was suddenly noticed by a mainstream Korean TV station and they were actively seeking to remake it.

However, he immediately understood the reason why Liu Rong specifically asked for instructions. He was the screenwriter of this drama, and since it involved him, his subordinates naturally did not dare to make decisions on their own.

Song Ci pondered for a moment and had an idea in his mind.

The remake of "My Love from the Star" is a good thing. It can be regarded as a cultural export and can greatly enhance the status and voice of Tengda Group in the Asian cultural market.

"Reply to SBS that we can cooperate," he instructed decisively. "Have them prepare a detailed cooperation plan and evaluation report first. Subsequent detailed negotiations will be handled by Tengda Culture."

"I understand, Chairman! I'll do it right away." Liu Rong responded promptly.

After hanging up the phone, Song Ci told Liu Shishi the news and joked with a smile: "How come this old drama from a few years ago is suddenly popular again?"

After a little thought, Liu Shishi came up with a clue. Her husband never paid attention to the details of the entertainment industry, but she had heard a little about it and immediately explained:

"Paramount recently announced that Fan Bingbing will star in Transformers 4, and this once-hit Asian drama has been resurrected for hype."

"So that's how it is." Song Ci suddenly realized, then smiled and waved his hand, "Never mind it. Shishi, have you rested enough? Let's go to the next attraction."
