Chapter 475 Representative Proposal
In the early morning, the presidential suite of the Shilla Hotel was filled with a leisurely and peaceful atmosphere.
The sunlight streams into the room through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a warm glow over the floor.
Liu Shishi leaned lazily on the sofa in the living room, her fingertips lightly sliding across the iPad screen as she browsed Weibo.
As expected, the details of her trip to Seoul with her husband yesterday topped the hot search list without any suspense.
The hot search list is full of entries about the two people:
"Song Ci Liu Shishi's sweet trip to Seoul", "Ruoxi Seoul", "Is this the daily life of a top wealthy couple?"
Popular Weibo posts read:
Netizens spotted Song Dynasty poet Liu Shishi while she was touring Gyeongbokgung Palace and Bukchon Hanok Village in Seoul! The two held hands the entire time, chatting and laughing, looking incredibly affectionate!
Liu Shishi was in excellent condition, gentle and beautiful, and she welcomed all the fans who came to take photos with her. She was very kind! Mr. Billionaire was protecting his wife the whole time, and his eyes never left her.
Liu Shishi looked at a highly praised comment and couldn't help but smile gently.
"I'm an international student in Korea, and I actually met her yesterday! Shishi is absolutely stunning! Her temperament is incredible! She even said thank you in Korean, and her voice was so gentle! I've become a fan ever since."
Some fans also asked:
"When will Shishi join the new crew? She's been on break for over half a year since filming wrapped on 'Silent Shorthand,' and her fans are eagerly waiting."
At the same time, in the study of the suite, Song Ci was listening to the report from Zhang Heng, the president of Qianqian Music.
"Chairman, yesterday we officially signed a letter of intent for cooperation with YG and JYP. Following the previous cooperation model with SM, Tengda Group will make a strategic investment in both companies.
All core music copyrights will be exclusively licensed to Qianqian Music, including priority distribution rights for new songs in Asia, digital authorization for the old music library, and in-depth cooperation on some joint artist training programs."
Zhang Heng's voice was filled with the joy of success. "So far, we have basically broken through the music copyright barriers of the three major entertainment companies of Peninsula Entertainment."
Song Ci nodded with satisfaction. "Well done. Subsequent integration and operations must keep up. Qianqian Music needs to leverage these high-quality resources to not only maintain its position as the top domestic player, but also to expand internationally."
"I understand, Chairman..." Zhang Heng responded solemnly and finally breathed a sigh of relief. The matter was completed smoothly and the trip was worthwhile.
At this moment, the low voice of bodyguard captain Tang Yue came from outside the study door:
"Boss, there are two visitors outside the door. They claim to be staff from the Chinese Embassy in the Peninsula and hope to meet you."
Song Ci raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised, and said to the door, "Please ask them to sit in the next meeting room. I will be there soon."
Then he told Zhang Heng, "Wait for a moment."
A moment later, Song Ci met two calm visitors in the conference room.
One of the middle-aged men saw the rich man and stood up first, smiling and handing over his business card: "Mr. Song, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm Li Xiangyang, the Minister of the Chinese Embassy in the Peninsula."
"Hello, Minister Li." Song Ci shook hands with him, feeling a little surprised. The rank of minister is second only to ambassador and is a core position in the embassy. He wondered what important matter this trip was about?
Minister Li then introduced another Korean person next to him who was smiling and had a capable temperament:
"Mr. Song, this is President Park Ji-ho of the Peninsula Tourism Corporation."
It then added, "The Peninsula Tourism Corporation is a non-profit national tourism organization under the Peninsula Culture, Sports and Tourism Department. It is primarily responsible for promoting Peninsula tourism globally and establishing the national tourism brand image."
"Hello, President Park." Song Ci nodded slightly, shook hands with Park Zhihao, and signaled his assistant to serve tea.
After the greetings, Park Zhihao knew that the time of a business giant like Song Ci was precious, so he stated his purpose directly:
"Mr. Song, to be honest, the news about you and your wife traveling together in Seoul yesterday not only topped the trending searches in China, but also attracted great attention on major portals and social media platforms on the Korean Peninsula.
The results far surpassed our expensive publicity campaign. Your extraordinary influence is truly astonishing.”
After a pause, his tone became more sincere:
“Therefore, on behalf of the Peninsula Tourism Corporation, I sincerely invite Mrs. Liu Shishi to serve as the Peninsula Tourism Promotion Ambassador.
We hope to leverage her immense influence and positive image in Asia to further promote tourism and cultural exchanges between South Korea and China, and attract more tourists, especially the younger generation, to visit the Peninsula."
After saying that, Park Zhihao bowed slightly to Song Ci to show his sincerity.
After hearing this, Song Ci smiled slightly, thinking that this was the icing on the cake. However, the specific situation still needed his wife to make the decision herself.
Then he signaled to his assistant: "Madam, please come over here."
After a while, Liu Shishi walked into the meeting room.
After Song Ci introduced the two people's identities to her, he briefly explained the situation to her.
When Liu Shishi heard the other party's purpose, an elegant and delighted smile appeared on her face.
Serving as a Peninsula Tourism Ambassador will help enhance international recognition, consolidate fashion status and expand career boundaries.
In addition to his identity as an actor, he will also have the halo of "Cultural Exchange Ambassador", which is similar to his previous title of "Cultural Relics Return Ambassador".
"I am very grateful for the kindness of President Park and Minister Lee," Liu Shishi responded gracefully. "The Peninsula is a country full of charm. I am honored to serve in this role and would like to do my part to promote friendly exchanges between the two countries."
Park Zhihao was delighted. The commune had previously learned through research that the wife of the richest man was extremely popular in her own country and was a fashion icon among young Chinese women.
In addition to yesterday's hot search, she decisively used the embassy channel to facilitate this invitation, hoping to use her strong influence to attract Chinese female tourists aged 20 to 30.
Now that Liu Shishi readily agreed, the trip was a success, and President Park was naturally overjoyed.
On the afternoon of February 27, the richest man's private plane took off from Incheon International Airport, soared into the sky, and flew towards Beijing.
Inside the cabin, the outside noise and cold are completely isolated, with only the faint hum brought by the smooth flight creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere.
Liu Shishi lazily sank into the spacious and comfortable leather airline seat, her legs covered with a soft cashmere blanket, and the screen in front of her was playing the yet-to-be-released movie "Peking Meets Seattle".
As the most powerful actress in the domestic entertainment industry, her influence is self-evident. She easily got to watch the movie in advance through special channels. In the flickering light and shadow, her eyes kept drifting to her husband across from her.
At this moment, Song Ci was concentrating on the laptop screen in front of him, his slender fingers tapping quickly on the keyboard, his expression focused and calm, his slightly furrowed brows seemed to be thinking about an important issue.
Liu Shishi pressed the pause button and the movie scene froze.
Picking up the warm tea beside her, she took a sip and broke the silence with a voice: "Yi Yi, are you thinking about a new novel again?"
My husband hasn't written a book for a long time. Although he was busy building a business empire later, he would occasionally record some fragments when inspiration came to him.
Song Ci closed his notebook, shook his head slightly, and chuckled softly: "I'm not writing a novel, I'm preparing a proposal for the National Conference in a few days."
"People's representative?" Liu Shishi's eyes lit up, and she immediately understood. This was her husband's newly acquired important status, his first time being elected as a National People's Representative.
She quickly put down her teacup and leaned forward slightly closer to her husband, her eyes showing deep interest. "Yes, the meeting is in early March. This is a big deal, much more important than writing a novel."
This identity represents extraordinary significance not only to Song Ci personally but also to the entire Chinese Internet industry.
In the past five years, there have been no pure internet industry professionals among the representatives.
Now, Song Ci was elected as the founder of Tenda Technology Group, the richest man in Asia, and the leader of China's Internet, which in itself sends a strong signal.
This marks a qualitative leap in the official status and social recognition of the emerging Internet industry in China, and its development demands finally have the most direct and efficient channel for expression.
"Yes, since it's my first time taking up this position, I have to be fully prepared." Song Ci spoke in a calm tone, his eyes filled with a sense of responsibility that should not be underestimated.
"As the industry develops, it has encountered many bottlenecks and areas that require policy support. This is a good opportunity to speak out."
Liu Shishi looked at her husband tenderly, her eyes full of admiration and pride.
What she saw was not only a giant who was good at strategizing and showing his talent in the business world, but also a partner who cared about the industry, focused on the future, and was willing to take on more social responsibilities.
He asked softly, "Can you tell me what proposals you have prepared? I want to learn from you."
Song Ci smiled, happy to share these thoughts about the future with his wife. He then reopened his notebook, facing the screen towards his wife, and began to explain his thoughts clearly.
"The first one is about accelerating the construction of information infrastructure, and the core is to increase the speed and reduce the price of broadband." Song Ci's eyes were burning and his tone was serious.
"Shishi, even though China has the largest number of Internet users in the world and the mobile Internet boom has begun, our Internet speed is only ranked 71st in the world. The average speed is slow, but the charges are high.
It's like building a road. If the road is not wide enough, not good enough, and the toll is expensive, how can the cars on it run fast?
If the digital economy is to achieve high-quality development, this 'information superhighway' must first be properly built and upgraded. This is the most fundamental and important foundation."
Liu Shishi nodded in agreement. Although she was not a technical expert, the metaphor was easy to understand and she easily grasped its importance.
Song Ci continued, "Secondly, it is recommended that the 'Internet Plus' strategy be fully implemented at the national level."
Seeing a flicker of curiosity in his wife's eyes, he chuckled and explained, "Simply put, it's about using Internet technology and thinking to deeply integrate and transform traditional industries, promoting industrial upgrading and improving efficiency.
Just like the areas that Tenda has entered, in the next five years, Internet-based life services such as food delivery and taxi-hailing alone will be able to contribute millions or even more jobs to the country.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Imagine if 'Internet + Government Affairs' can help ordinary people get things done with less running around;
'Internet + Healthcare' can alleviate the difficulties of seeing a doctor and making an appointment;
'Internet + Finance' can make it easier for small and micro businesses and ordinary people to borrow money;
'Internet + Agriculture' can help agricultural products sell better and further...
This will have a huge impact on the operational efficiency and innovation capabilities of society as a whole, and create a large number of employment and entrepreneurial opportunities."
Liu Shishi listened attentively, her eyes shining, as if she saw a more convenient, efficient and vibrant picture of the future society through her husband's words.
"The third one!" Song Ci's tone suddenly became serious, and his eyes were cast towards the vast sea of clouds outside the porthole, as if he was looking at a wider territory.
"I proposed that the 'going global' initiative for internet companies should be elevated to a national strategy.
Now, the international community is competing fiercely for dominance in the cyberspace rules system, and European and American countries are actively planning their own Internet strategies.
We cannot be satisfied with developing in the domestic market alone; we must encourage and support capable Internet companies to go global.
Actively participate in international competition, strive for the right to speak in the international Internet, and participate in or even lead the formulation of future world rules.
This is about the country’s global influence and competitiveness in the digital age.”
The three core proposals were mentioned in one breath, each focusing on the three key dimensions of infrastructure bottlenecks, domestic empowerment, and international competition.
It not only has a clear understanding of reality, but also has a plan and outlook for the future.
Liu Shishi listened quietly, with indescribable emotions surging in her heart.
She saw more than just proposals; she saw the vision, vision, and responsibility of an industry leader. She was incredibly proud of her husband, a pride that far outweighed his business success.
Reaching out his hand, he gently placed it on the back of Song Ci's hand, and said softly, "It's really well written. You see these issues so accurately and think so far ahead."
After a pause, she smiled and said, "Mr. Song is a 'suggestor' who cares deeply about the world. I am honored to be able to make tea for you and listen to your grand ideas."
Song Ci held Liu Shishi's slightly cold little hand in his backhand and smiled. The serious expression he had just had during the discussion was replaced by tenderness.
"It's not as grand as you say. I have my own selfish motives. I'm just doing my job, fulfilling my duties, and contributing my part. Only when the industry and the country are doing well can I, as an individual, do better."
Time flies. On the last day of February, Liu Shishi went to Tangren Film and Television to handle official business.
On days when she is not filming, she would probably spend two days a week visiting the company and personally follow up on important matters.
Inside the office, Jiang Yuanyuan was methodically reporting on the project's progress. "Shishi, everything is going smoothly on 'Battle Star City,' and Director Jiang is already intensively preparing."
Liu Shishi nodded slightly, her tone brisk, "With Tengda Culture's support and Director Jiang's talent, I don't think I'll have to worry too much about this drama. By the way, Yang Zi has been confirmed as the female lead. Who was the male lead in the end?"
"Tengda Culture recommended Chen Xiao, and Director Jiang agreed," Jiang Yuanyuan quickly replied, adding, "I also arranged for Sun Yizhou to be in this drama."
Liu Shishi chuckled at this. If Jiang Yuanyuan hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten that the studio had such a signed artist. "Next time, keep an eye out for good resources for Yizhou."
Jiang Yuanyuan looked embarrassed: "The role of Lü Ziqiao he played in "Love Apartment" is so popular!
It will take a long time for the audience to lose their impression of this character. Otherwise, whatever he plays will easily distract the audience and the effect may not be good.
Liu Shishi nodded in understanding and then instructed, "I understand. Then arrange for him to play some supporting roles first so that he can hone his acting skills."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuanyuan handed over a document.
"Is it a new project?" Liu Shishi took it curiously. When her eyes fell on the cover of the document, she couldn't help but read it softly: "Red Sorghum!"
