Chapter 3041 Why does the old man need a graphics card?

Howard was really caught by Helena this time.

He originally thought that getting the second pill within the next three to five years would be the best outcome he could expect.

But who would have thought that a huge opportunity would hit him on the head.

If I take another half of the pill, I won't say whether I can live another two or three years.

The key is that the effect of this pill is immediate. I have now returned to the state I was in a few years ago. If I take half a pill again, wouldn't my physical condition be even better?

Human beings, as long as money is no longer a problem, the only problem is how to live long and live well.

The pill Helena gave him could solve the two pain points of living longer and living well at the same time.

Therefore, he is determined to get this half pill!

So, he hung up the phone on Helena and immediately called the person in charge of Nvidia.

As soon as the call came through, the other party asked in surprise: "Mr. Rothschild, why did you call me in person?"

Although these business managers are usually the world's technology trendsetters in the spotlight, almost none of them can escape the control of Jewish capital. After all, even if the companies are in Silicon Valley, the capital behind them is still on Wall Street.

And Howard is definitely the super boss behind the entire Wall Street.

Therefore, it is a great honor for all entrepreneurs who rely on Wall Street to receive his call.

Howard didn't even know the other person's full name. He just smiled and said in an unquestionable tone: "I'm calling you because I need your help with something. The one you produced is used to provide computing power for the AI ​​model. Can you prepare 40,000 graphics cards for me within three days?”

The other party was startled and asked quickly: "Mr. Rothschild...the graphics card you are talking about...is it h100?"

"That's right!" Howard said immediately: "This is the graphics card, 40,000 of them, we need it within three days. Can you solve it?"

The other party said in a very embarrassed tone: "Mr. Rothschild, this graphics card is indeed very popular now, and our orders have been queued up..."

"Stop it." Howard said calmly: "I'm calling you to solve the problem, not to hear you talk about how popular your products and orders are. You just need to tell me, three days, 40,000 pieces, can If it can’t be solved, I, Howard Rothschild, owe you a favor, if not, then I will stop wasting each other’s time.”

After saying that, Howard added: "Of course, if you can solve part of it, then just tell me the number and how much can be solved in three days."

The other party did not expect that Howard would be so decisive and decisive, leaving no room for him to complain.

However, the figure of 40,000 in three days is indeed too outrageous.

In all walks of life, as long as it is a hot-selling product, it will be difficult to keep it in stock, unless it is deliberately hoarding to raise the price.

This kind of shameless thing is often done by small and medium-sized companies or large companies with no structure, but after all, Nvidia's market value is approaching two trillion US dollars, and it is impossible to engage in such low-level marketing methods at this time.

Therefore, except for the graphics cards that have not yet been produced, Nvidia currently has finished products that are ready for delivery.

Since the chips of the h100 graphics card are manufactured by TSMC, the chips are shipped from the other side of the world to the United States, and then are repackaged by Nvidia's own production lines before being delivered uniformly by them.

For example, Company A ordered 3,000 graphics cards last year, and these 3,000 graphics cards were delivered in three installments. Now, there may be exactly 1,000 graphics cards that have already arrived, and they are preparing to notify the other party to pick up the goods. Only these 1,000 graphics cards will remain in NVIDIA's hands temporarily.

Normally, according to the current production capacity, the number of graphics cards that can be delivered every day is around four to five thousand.

The key is that many companies have very strong demand for this graphics card, and there is no need to notify them to pick up the goods. They usually go to the delivery center of the assembly plant to pick up the goods two or three days in advance, and some even fly directly to the assembly plant by helicopter. As soon as the graphics card was delivered offline, it was immediately taken to his company by helicopter.

After all, AI is now one of the biggest trends among technology companies in the world. Not to mention the world's top companies, even small and medium-sized enterprises in Silicon Valley have tightened their belts and purchased h100 graphics cards to try to train their own AI models. , some companies have even announced allinai, so the demand for this graphics card has never been stronger.

However, the total number of graphics cards ready to be delivered is only more than 10,000.

He could only grit his teeth and said: "Mr. Rothschild, we here can see the production, packaging and delivery status of all h100 graphics cards in real time. Currently, all the graphics cards that we have not yet delivered to customers, there are only There are more than graphics cards. There are almost graphics cards that can be offline in the next three days. I can make my own decision and give you all these graphics cards. I will find a way to appease the customer, but you want graphics cards. , I really can’t do this..."

Howard didn't hesitate and said directly: "Okay, you can help me collect 25,000 yuan. I will not miss you the money. I will think of other ways for the rest."

The other party quickly said: "Okay Mr. Rothschild, within three days, 25,000 pieces will be absolutely no problem, I guarantee you!"

Howard said with satisfaction: "Very good, thank you for your hard work. I owe you this once. If you need my help in the future, please call me directly."

The other party quickly expressed his gratitude.

Howard hung up the phone and immediately called Zuckerberg.

Zuckerberg, who has risen to prominence in just over ten years, is almost like the biological son of the financial giants on Wall Street.

The venture capital fund behind the Rothschild family is itself a shareholder of Zuckerberg. Out of admiration for this young upstart, Howard met with him a few years ago. He was very humble and understanding in front of him. , left a good impression on Howard.

However, even if he got Howard's appreciation, Zuckerberg didn't dare to call Howard casually, so when he suddenly received a call from him, he was very shocked and said very respectfully: "Rothschild Sir, please call me, how can I help you?"

Howard said directly: "Zach, I need fifteen thousand h100 graphics cards. I heard that you have hundreds of thousands of them. Can you help me solve this gap?"

Zuckerberg was a little flattered when he heard Howard call him Zuckerberg. After all, Zuckerberg is his full last name, and calling him Zuckerberg was obviously a bit affectionate.

But when he heard that Howard wanted to ask him for a graphics card, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if someone had cut off a piece with a knife.

Sometimes, human nature is very contradictory.

When you have no money, you don't feel bad even if you spend all your money at once or even go into debt. But when you have money, you will feel extremely painful even if you only spend a fraction of your total assets.

People are born with the desire to hoard, and the more they hoard, the stingier they become.

Whether it's money or things, it's the same.

Zuckerberg stockpiled hundreds of thousands of graphics cards at one time, and bought them early and at low prices, but he valued these graphics cards more than anything else. He would not sell any of them to anyone who asked him to buy them.

Faced with Howard, a super boss, he instinctively didn't want to give in. Moreover, he really couldn't figure out why Howard, an old man in his eighties, needed so many graphics cards? Isn’t the AI ​​they invested in already making a splash? Do you still need to ask for a graphics card yourself?

So, he could only ask vaguely: "Mr. Rothschild...you...what use do you want this graphics card for? Could it be...have you also started to study the field of AI?"

Howard said straight to the point: "Zach, don't say any unnecessary polite words. All I want to know now is whether it will work or not if you give me 15,000 graphics cards within three days."

After saying that, Howard added: "Don't worry, I will purchase according to the market price and will not let you give it away for free."

When Zuckerberg heard this, he knew that the other party would not give him any room to mediate or cheat, so even though he was reluctant to give up, he could only say helplessly: "Since you have spoken, no matter how nervous you are, I will help you prepare..." …Don’t worry, I will personally deliver 15,000 graphics cards to you within three days!”
