Howard found himself in quite a predicament this time, thanks to Helena.
Initially, he believed that waiting three to five years for a second pill would be the best oue he could hope for.
However, he never anticipated that a significant opportunity would suddenly present itself.
If I take another half of the pill, who’s to say I can’t extend my life by another two or three years?
What truly matters is that this pill has an immediate effect. I feel as if I’ve reverted to my condition from a few years back. If I take another half, wouldn’t my health improve even more?<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
For humans, once financial concerns are out of the way, the main focus shifts to how to live long and live well.
The pill Helena provided could address both the desire to live longer and the need to live well simultaneously.
With that in mind, he was resolute about acquiring that half pill!
He promptly ended his call with Helena and reached out to the head of Nvidia.
When the call connected, the person on the other end expressed surprise: “Mr. Rothschild, what a surprise to hear from you directly!”
Even though these business leaders are often at the forefront of technology trends, few can escape the influence of Jewish capital. Regardless of whether apany is based in Silicon Valley, the financial backing usually hails from Wall Street.
And Howard is undeniably a major yer on Wall Street.
Thus, it’s a significant honor for any entrepreneur dependent on Wall Street to receive a call from him.
Howard didn’t even know the other party’s full name; he simply smiled and stated with authority: “I’m calling because I need your assistance. The product you’re providing is essential for powering the AI model. Can you prepare 40,000 graphics cards for me in three days?”<fnbb9b> Chapters first released on find?novel</fnbb9b>
Taken aback, the other person quickly inquired: “Mr. Rothschild… are you referring to the H100 graphics cards?”
“Exactly!” Howard replied instantly. “We need 40,000 of those within three days; can you manage it?”
The individual hesitated, responding awkwardly: “Mr. Rothschild, those graphics cards are in high demand right now, and our orders are stacked up…”
“I don’t want to hear about your order backlog,” Howard interjected calmly. “I called you to resolve this issue, not to discuss your product’s poprity. Just tell me: can you provide 40,000 units in three days? If you can, I, Howard Rothschild, will owe you a favor. If not, let’s not waste each other’s time.”
He continued, “Of course, if you can partially meet the request, just let me know how many you can deliver within that timeframe.”
The other party was taken aback by Howard’s decisiveness, leaving no room for excuses.
However, the request for 40,000 units in three days was undeniably excessive.
In any industry, when a product is in high demand, maintaining stock levels bes a challenge unlesspanies deliberately hoard inventory to drive up prices.
Such tactics are often employed by smaller firms or disorganizedrgepanies, but Nvidia, with its market valuation nearing two trillion dors, wouldn’t resort to such unprofessional strategies.
Thus, apart from the yet-to-be-produced graphics cards, Nvidia only has finished products ready for delivery.
Since TSMC manufactures the H100 graphics card chip, it must be shipped from Taiwan to the United States, where Nvidia’s production line repackages it before distribution.
For instance, if Company A ordered 3,000 graphics cardsst year, they would typically receive them in three batches. Currently, there might be exactly 1,000 graphics cards avable, poised for thepany’s notification to pick them up. Only these 1,000 units would be temporarily held by Nvidia.
Generally, given the existing production capacity, Nvidia can deliver around four to five thousand graphics cards daily.
The challenge arises from the intense demand from variouspanies for these graphics cards; many don’t even wait for notification. They often arrive at the delivery center ahead of time, with some flying directly to the assembly nt by helicopter. As soon as the graphics cards are off the production line, they’re whisked away to their respectivepanies by helicopter.
