Chapter: 6186
However, 40,000 units within three days was indeed too unrealistic.
Each industry, as long as they are hot-selling products, will definitely have difficulty in inventory.
This kind of thing, small and medium-sized companies or big companies without a sense of direction often do, but as Wise's market value has approached $20 billion, it's impossible to resort to such low-level marketing tactics at this time.
So, currently Wise has all the finished products ready for delivery except for those that have not yet gone into production.
The H100 GPU chip is manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, so the chips are shipped from the other side of the earth to the US and then packaged again by Wise's own production line before being delivered to customers.
For example, Company A last year ordered 3,000 units, which were delivered in three batches. At present, it's possible that 1,000 units have already been delivered, and they will soon notify us to pick up the goods. These 1,000 GPUs will temporarily remain with Wise.
Normally, according to our current production capacity, we can deliver around 4,000 to 5,000 GPUs per day.
The key is that many companies have extremely strong demands for this GPU, and they don't even need to be notified in advance. They usually show up at the delivery center two or three days before the scheduled delivery date, some even by helicopter. Once the GPUs are delivered, they immediately take them away by helicopter.
After all, AI is currently the biggest hype in the world's top technology companies, not just limited to a few. Even small and medium-sized companies in Silicon Valley are tightening their belts and purchasing H100 GPUs to try training their own AI models. Some companies have even announced that they will go All In AI. The demand for this GPU has never been stronger.
However, all the finished products ready for delivery add up to over 10,000 units.
He could only grit his teeth and say: "Mr. Rothschild, we can see in real-time here all the H100 GPUs being produced, packaged, and prepared for delivery. Currently, there are over 11,000 units of these GPUs that have not yet been delivered to customers. Within three days, I estimate that around 13,000 units will be ready for delivery. I can take it upon myself to deliver all of these GPUs to you. I'll come up with a plan to appease your customer, but I genuinely cannot deliver 40,000 units..."
Howard didn't beat around the bush and directly said: "Okay, help me get together 25,500 units, I won't deduct from your payment, and we can figure out what to do with the rest."
"He said, 'Okay, Mr. Rothschild, within three days, I can definitely deliver 25,500 units to you, I assure you!'"
Howard was pleased and said, "Good job, I owe you one. If there's anything I can help with in the future, just give me a call."
The other party expressed his gratitude hastily.
Howard hung up the phone and immediately called Zuckerberg again.
Zuckerberg, who had risen to prominence in just over a decade, was almost like the favorite son of these financial giants on Wall Street.
Rothschild's family-backed venture capital fund itself was one of Zuckerberg's shareholders. Howard, appreciative of this young man, had even met with him a few years prior and left a good impression.
Despite receiving Howard's praise, Zuckerberg did not dare to call him casually, so he was taken aback when he received the phone call from him.
He said respectfully, "Mr. Rothschild, I don't know how I can be of service to you."
Howard said directly, "Zuckerberg, I need 15,000 units of H100 GPUs. I heard you have tens of thousands of them, can you help me fill this gap?"
At first, Zuckerberg felt a bit taken aback when Howard called him Zuckerberg, but he quickly regained his composure.
However, as soon as he heard that Howard wanted to buy GPUs from him, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, like someone had cut off a piece of flesh with a knife.
Sometimes, human nature is very contradictory.
When you're broke, even spending all your money once won't make you flinch, and taking on debt doesn't bother you. But when you have money, even just losing a small part of it will make you feel unbearable pain. JrNovels.com
