The Amazing son in law Chapter 6529

AI has become one of the most significant trends in the tech industry globally. Not only the leading corporations, but even small and medium enterprises in Silicon Valley are tightening their budgets and investing in H100 graphics cards to develop their own AI models. Some companies have gone as far as to announce full commitment to AI, resulting in an unprecedented demand for these graphics cards.

However, the current supply of available graphics cards stands at just over 10,000.

He gritted his teeth and stated, “Mr. Rothschild, we can monitor the production, packaging, and delivery of all H100 graphics cards in real-time. At this moment, we have just over 11,000 graphics cards that haven’t been dispatched to customers yet. In the next three days, nearly 13,000 graphics cards will be offline. I can make arrangements to allocate these to you, and I’ll find a way to satisfy the other customers, but you’re asking for 40,000 graphics cards, which is simply impossible for me…”

Howard didn’t hesitate and promptly replied, “Alright, help me secure 25,000 graphics cards. I assure you, the payment will be made, and I’ll figure out other solutions for the remainder.”

The other party quickly affirmed, “Absolutely, Mr. Rothschild. Within three days, securing those 25,000 cards will be no issue. I guarantee it!”

Howard expressed his satisfaction, saying, “Excellent! Thank you for your efforts; I owe you this one. If you ever need my assistance in the future, don’t hesitate to reach out directly.”

The other party expressed his gratitude quickly.

After hanging up the phone, Howard immediately called Zuckerberg again.

Zuckerberg, who has risen to prominence in just over a decade, is often seen as the protégé of the financial powerhouses on Wall Street.

The venture capital fund associated with the Rothschild family is a shareholder in Zuckerberg’s endeavors. A few years back, Howard met with him and was impressed by his humility and understanding, which left a positive impression on Howard.

Despite earning Howard’s respect, Zuckerberg was cautious about directly contacting him. Therefore, when he received a call from Howard, he was taken aback and responded respectfully, “Mr. Rothschild, thank you for reaching out. How may I assist you?”

Howard stated plainly, “Zach, I need 15,000 H100 graphics cards. I’ve heard you have hundreds of thousands available. Can you help me bridge this gap?”

Zuckerberg felt flattered when Howard referred to him as “Zach.” It was a personal touch, but when he realized Howard was requesting such a large quantity of graphics cards, he felt a pang of discomfort, as if someone had taken a knife to his heart.

Human nature can be quite contradictory.

When money is tight, individuals may spend recklessly or even go into debt without feeling remorse. Yet when one has wealth, even spending a small portion can evoke significant pain.

People possess an inherent desire to accumulate, and as they gather more, they often become increasingly stingy.

Zuckerberg, having amassed a stockpile of graphics cards at favorable prices, valued them immensely and was unwilling to part with them easily.

Faced with Howard, a prominent figure, he instinctively resisted the idea of yielding. Moreover, he couldn’t fathom why Howard, an octogenarian, would need such a significant number of graphics cards. Wasn’t the AI they had invested in already making waves? Why the need to request more cards?

So, he tentatively inquired, “Mr. Rothschild… may I ask what you plan to do with these graphics cards? Have you also started exploring the AI field?”

Howard replied directly, “Zach, let’s skip the pleasantries. I need to know if you can provide me with 15,000 graphics cards within three days.”

He continued, “Don’t worry, I’ll ensure that I follow the market rates. You won’t be giving them to me for free.”

Upon hearing this, Zuckerberg realized that Howard was not open to negotiations or tricks. Despite his reluctance to part with the cards, he ultimately conceded, “Since you’ve made your request clear, regardless of my reservations, I will help you prepare the graphics cards… Rest assured, I will personally deliver 15,000 of them to you within three days!”
