Dad, Please Try a Little Harder - Chapter 177

  Chapter 177 Invest with your son!

   “Jiujiu, start Go mode.”

   “Hello, Go mode has been activated.”

   (Two people pretend to play Go)

  …

   “Jiujiu, start chess mode.”

   “Hi, Chess mode is activated.”

   (Two people pretend to play chess)

  …

   “Jiujiu, let me ask you, if a thief comes to my house to steal something, can you catch up with the thief and get it back?”

   “Hello, I am not good at running…

   “However, you can look forward to my follow-up sports version, not only running fast, but also kung fu.”

  …

  On New Year’s Eve, on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, Qian Quan, who sang the opening song, appeared on the stage again, and played the guest role of the family robot “Jiujiu” in the sketch “Future Life”.

  The name Jiujiu is of course in order to conform to Yijiu Technology’s tradition of naming robots, which is tantamount to a soft advertisement for Yijiu.

  Yijiu Technology is now a cutting-edge technology company in the industry. Its chess AI, Go AI, Go AI robot and educational software AI have all achieved success. The company’s valuation has already exceeded 5 billion.

   At this time, the name of the skit that Qian Quan guest starred in is “Future Life”. Based on the consistent style of Yijiu Technology Company to name its new products, “Nine Nine” is deliberately used to imply that the current timeline is in the future.

   It seems that when you talk about iPhone50, you can think of the future.

  Overall, the theme and concept of this skit are not bad. It not only responds to the call of the country to vigorously develop technology and further develop the field of AI, but also reasonably integrates future technology and sketch jokes to form a unique burden and joke.

   In this work, Qian Quan, who plays the role of a domestic robot, has a remarkable performance, and several jokes are presented naturally, which is the icing on the cake.

  For example, the phrase he said that he is not good at running made the audience laugh and achieved the desired effect.

  After the performance, Qian Quan pretended to leave the stage with everyone, and was stopped by the host:

   “Qian Quan, please stay.”

   Of course, this is not the host’s improvisation or improvisation, but a follow-up interaction according to the script.

  In this session, the host will first ask Qian Quan how he feels about winning the Olympic 100-meter champion, and then ask him to send a message to the audience on the scene and in front of the TV.

  This topic is inevitable. The reason why he was invited to the Spring Festival Gala was mainly because of the 100m Olympic gold medal.

  Qian Qun made a positive speech:

   “There has always been a saying in the past, whether the Chinese can run the 100 meters, can they run under the 10-second mark?

   “Now I want to answer this question. Why can’t China run 100 meters? Why can’t they run in 10 seconds? Foreigners can run in 10 seconds. Are Chinese people shorter than them?

   “If they can do it, so can we!”

   These remarks also aroused applause from the scene.

  Then the host asked about the prospect of home robots, which can be regarded as helping Yijiu to strengthen the software.

  Qian Quan also gave his own answer:

  “With the development of artificial intelligence, more powerful home robots, and even artificial intelligence butlers will become a reality in the near future, and we can cautiously keep looking forward.”

  Time was limited, and the host didn’t chat with Qian Quan for too long, so he let him go.

   On a stage like the Spring Festival Gala, before the countdown to zero, the program scheduling is calculated by the second. If someone delays the time, some actors may not be able to make it to the stage, and months of rehearsals will be wasted.

  This kind of thing happened in previous Spring Festival Gala, and it must have been an impressive blow to the actors involved.

  In any case, Qian Quan’s first trip to the Spring Festival Gala ended successfully.

  He is going back to Guangming Town now to celebrate the New Year with his family.

  …

  ”The movie is called “Sister”. I have read the script and it is quite touching. I heard that it is adapted from real events.

   “It was originally a long post posted by a netizen on a certain forum, which attracted the attention of many netizens, and then they bought the copyright for 150,000 yuan.”

   At the dinner table where Qian Ding and his family had dinner together, Qian Quan introduced a film project.

   This project is a low-cost film produced by Huahong Media and invested by Qian Quan.

  Because Qian Quan has read the script of the movie and knows the director and the leading actor well, he would like to suggest that his father also invest some money to test the waters.

   “What’s the specific story?” asked the slightly drunk Qian Wenlin.

  Qian Quan briefly introduced the outline of the story:

  This story is told from the perspective of the heroine’s younger brother, and the timeline starts from the moment his sister was born.

After my sister was born, because of a congenital disease, the doctor judged that he would not live long, and advised his parents to give up, but his father firmly disagreed, and took the girl to seek medical treatment, but the diagnosis results given by other hospitals were the same as the first hospital. , refused follow-up treatment.

  The father still did not give up, and continued to take his daughter to seek medical treatment. Finally, a hospital was moved by his father and admitted the girl, but he only promised to try, and the chance of being rescued was no more than 20%.

  After a series of treatments, my sister was miraculously rescued, but the doctor poured cold water on my father, saying that my sister could only live to be 13 years old at most, and had to take medicine all the time.

  Father was satisfied with the result, and thanked the hospital and the attending doctor.

  Then my sister grew up day by day under the care of the family and became a lovely, sensible and filial girl.

   After that, my younger brother was born.

  The elder sister took the initiative to take the responsibility of taking care of the younger brother.

   I don’t know if it’s because I’m aware of my physical condition, or if I’m optimistic by nature. My sister has always been cheerful since she was a child, and she lives happily every day without any worries.

   And my sister is also willing to help others. No matter adults, children, relatives or neighbors, they all like her and are willing to be friends with her.

  After going to school, my sister loves learning very much and has excellent grades. Because she is willing to help her classmates, she has been elected as the class monitor and has been rated as a three-good student all year round.

   In a blink of an eye, my sister turned 13, and she celebrated her 13th birthday with the concern and blessings of her relatives and friends.

   Then, my sister spent a splendid junior high school, a busy but fulfilling high school, and then went to university, ushering in her first love.

   At this time, my sister also had a better understanding of her body, but she still didn’t complain about others. She lived every day to the full and happy, cherishing every minute and every second of her life.

  Sister enjoys family affection, experiences love, and feels friendship.

  She treats everyone with her sincerity, and loves every moment of life with her enthusiasm.

  However, the miracle finally stopped when my sister was 20 years old.

  The angel returned to heaven.

  On that day, almost all relatives and friends went to see off my sister, and everyone felt sad and regretful from the bottom of their hearts.

  At the end of the story, there are three scenes:

  The first one is that an old beggar came to this village and inadvertently inquired about his sister. After learning that his sister had left, he was stunned for a while and shed tears. It turned out that he came to beg for food before, and his sister invited him to eat;

  The old man cried and said: “She is the best person I have ever met…”

  In the second scene, the father and mother are discussing how to bind Alipay to the bank card. During the discussion, the father suddenly said: “Oh, it’s so troublesome, let the girl teach us…”

   Immediately, both husband and wife were stunned, fell into silent grief, and wept secretly.

  The third scene is at the uncle’s house. My aunt came back from get off work and took a package from the courier station, but neither of them had bought a courier recently. I asked around in the group, but no one bought it.

   After opening it, I found that it was actually a few packets of traditional Chinese medicine, and I followed the prescription.

  Uncle suddenly remembered that he chatted with his brother-in-law when he was a guest at his sister’s house, and mentioned that there are Chinese medicines that are effective in controlling blood sugar, but they are not easy to buy, and they need to be prescribed by reliable Chinese medicine to be effective.

  At that time, I just mentioned it casually, but I didn’t expect my niece to remember it in my heart.

   I don’t know if she found a traditional Chinese medicine prescription through her classmate or teacher relationship, and even bought the corresponding medicinal materials.

  Uncle took the packs of traditional Chinese medicine, his hands trembling slowly, then turned and entered the room, and closed the door.

  A burst of crying came from the house.

  In this story, the elder sister has a heart like gold, warming the people around her like a little sun.

  …

  Qian Quan’s narration neglected many details, even so, everyone was still very touched.

  Ding Linlang’s eyes were even a little red.

   “This is not just a story about fatherly love and family affection, but also a story about reverence for life, which is very meaningful.” Qian Wenlin commented.

   “Yes.” Qian Quan nodded in agreement, “The director and the lead actor are also quite reliable. I think this movie has great potential.”

   “Well, vote!” Qian Wenlin nodded, then asked Qian Quan, “Stone, how much did you vote for?”

“1500 dollars.”

   “15 million? Is it so expensive to make a movie?” Ye Yunlan asked.

  “From the perspective of the current market size, an investment of less than 100 million is called a small cost.

   “However, the production cost of this movie is about 30 million. Because there are no big scenes and many special effects, the post-stage publicity and distribution is estimated to be tens of millions, and the total cost will not exceed 100 million.”

   “100 million, how much will it cost to pay back?”

   “With 300 million yuan, you can make a steady profit without losing money.”

  Ye Yunlan nodded in shock, and said, “I’ll help you promote the movie when it’s released.”

  Qian Quan smiled and nodded.

  Qian Wenlin continued: “Then I will vote 300,000.”

  Now, both father and son have their own companies, but they are separated financially.

  For Qian Wenlin, 300,000 yuan is considered a large investment, and until the proceeds are paid back, there will be no major moves for the time being.

  In the next year, apart from attending classes, paying attention to the progress of “Sister” will be an important task.

   After all, 300,000.

  Although he was booing after his son, it is indeed the biggest investment he has made so far.

   Fortunately, I have a much more sense of accomplishment than putting it in the stock market.

  If this can be done, he and his son will be father and son soldiers in the investment world in the future.
