格隆汇5月17日｜美国时间周五，一张拍摄于美国总统专机“空军一号”上的照片在社群上迅速流传。画面中，马斯克和黄仁勋面对面交谈，两人神情自然，引发外界高度关注。现年54岁的马斯克与63岁的黄仁勋手上都拿着手机，桌面上还放着一个空的健怡可乐瓶。这张画面与总统专机内通常给人的正式、严肃印象不同，反而呈现出两位科技巨头私下交流的轻松氛围，因此引来不少讨论。照片曝光后，或许是因为外界质疑画面真伪，马斯克随后在社交平台转发该照片，并简短写下“True”，证实照片为真。 照片中的细节成为网友放大检视的焦点。有人注意到黄仁勋手上的手机，推测可能是三星Galaxy Z Fold7，理由是机身纤薄，并具备大尺寸折迭荧幕与新款镜头模块设计；至于马斯克手中的手机，则被认为可能是iPhone。

Samsung Electronics Co. and its largest labor union are set to resume negotiations Monday to avert a strike that the nation’s prime minister warned could wreak havoc on the economy. Management and the union representatives at the world’s biggest memory chipmaker will meet for the talks on wages amid and compensation, with Samsung having reported operating profit that soared on artificial intelligence-driven demand for its semiconductors. “Along with the entire public, we earnestly request Samsung’s management and union to achieve results during the mediation tomorrow, which is virtually the last chance,” Prime Minister Kim Min-Seok said in an address to the nation on Sunday. “If the strike becomes a reality, the economic damage that we have to face would be unimaginable.” The negotiations, in which the head of the government’s labor relations commission will take part, come three days ahead of the union’s May 21 deadline for an agreement, before it stages an 18-day walkout. Kim estimated the labor action would cost up to 1 trillion won ($668 million) for every day the Samsung chip factory is shut.

Kim said the government would pursue “all measures including emergency powers” in order to protect the national economy if the labor action threatened the economy. Samsung Electronics Chair Jay Y. Lee issued a rare apology at the weekend for the company’s “internal issues” causing concern. “Now is the time to wisely gather our strengths and move in one direction,” Lee said Saturday at Seoul’s Gimpo International Airport as he returned from an overseas trip, according a Yonhap News report . “Union members, Samsung family members, we are one body, one family,” Read more: Samsung Executives Make Rare Union Visit as Strike Fears Mount Governmen...
