“I called you because I needed your help with something.
What you earn is used to provide computing power for the AI. models.
Can you prepare 40,000 graphics cards for me within three days?”
The other party was taken aback and asked quickly: “Mr. Rothschild…the graphics card you are talking about…is it H100?”
“Correct!” Howard immediately said: “Here are the graphics cards, 40,000 of them, we need them in 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 waiting in line…”
“Stop it,” Howard said calmly: “I called you to solve a 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 completed,
I, Howard Rothschild, owe you,
if not, then I will stop wasting each other’s time.”
Having said that, Howard added: “Of course, if you can get some done, tell me the number and how much can be done in three days.”
The other party did not expect that Howard would be so firm and decisive, leaving no room for him to complain.
But the figure of 40,000 in three days is indeed too outrageous.
In all walks of life, as long as the product is in demand, it will be difficult to stock it, unless it is deliberately hoarded to increase the price.
Shameless things like this are often done by small and medium companies or large companies that have no structure,
but after all, Nvidia’s market value is close to two trillion US dollars, and it is impossible to carry out such low-level marketing methods at this time.
Therefore, except for the graphics card which has not yet been produced, Nvidia currently has finished products ready to ship.
Because the H100 graphics card chips are manufactured by TSMC, they are shipped from other parts of the world to the United States, and then repackaged by NVIDIA’s own production line before being uniformly shipped by them.
For example, Company A ordered 3,000 graphics cards last year, and the 3,000 graphics cards were delivered in three installments.
Now, perhaps exactly 1,000 graphics cards have arrived, and they’re getting ready to tell others to take them.
only 1,000 of these graphics cards will remain in Nvidia’s hands for the time being.
Usually, according to current production capacity, the number of graphics cards that can be shipped every day is around four to five thousand.
The key is that many companies have very strong demand for these graphics cards, and there is no need to tell them to take the goods.
They usually go to the assembly plant delivery center to pick up the goods within two or three days. in advance, some even flew directly to the assembly plant by helicopter.
As soon as the graphics card was sent offline, it was immediately taken to the company by helicopter.
After all, AI is now the biggest trend among technology companies in the world.
