Therefore, Howard had tremendous influence over any company in the United States.
The phone rang twice and connected.
On the other side of the phone, a middle-aged and elderly voice came: “Mr Rothschild, it has been at least ten years since you last called me, right?”
Howard smiled and said, “Bill, how have you been lately?”
Bill on the other end of the phone sneered: “Not bad.
Did you know, after retirement,
I just hang out, spend money, make speeches, and do random charity work.”
“Very good,” Howard said with a smile: “If you do bad things and do good things at the same time,
and the positive and negative sides are balanced,
God will forgive you, won’t he?”
Bill knew that the other party was making fun of him,
so he could only smile and say:
“Charity asks for nothing in return.”
After that, Bill’s tone gradually became more relaxed,
and he said with a smile:
“If God really wants to count my strengths and weaknesses,
I’m afraid a strong audit team is needed to calculate clearly.”
After saying this, Bill asked curiously:
“Tuan Rothschild,
You didn’t call me today just to tease me, did you?”
Howard smiled and said: “Years ago,
people say that if you take a hundred dollars,
You will lose a thousand dollars. I’m not the same.
Time is precious, especially for people like us, time is even more precious. .”
As he spoke, Howard’s voice became serious and he said, “Bill, there’s something I need you to help me with.”
Bill said without hesitation: “Just tell me,
no need to talk more about our relationship.
I will help whoever I can.”
Howard said: “I heard that Microsoft has a data center in Northern Europe, and I want to buy it.”
“Buy it?” Bill was taken aback for a moment, then said: “Mr Rothschild,
if Microsoft cloud services were a Boeing 747,
then the Nordic data center is one of the 747’s four engines.
Airlines are unlikely to remove engines from operating aircraft and sell them.
Once sold, half of cloud services in Europe will be paralyzed,
and it would be difficult for some other data centers to handle such a large demand in a short time. ,
we didn’t leave much redundancy in the design.”
