Door-to-door dragon son-in-law

Chapter 3042: Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.

After experiencing the magic of the blood-dispersing and heart-saving elixir, Howard understood the truth behind rare things.

Sometimes, no matter how rich you are, there are some things you can't buy.

This is true for the Blood-Spreading and Heart-Saving Pill, and the same is true for NVIDIA graphics cards.

However, he was overall satisfied with the performance of Nvidia and Zach. Although both of them were a little embarrassed and reluctant to give up, they still gave him the results he wanted.

Forty thousand graphics cards are the highest mountain standing between me and half a pill. If these are solved, Microsoft's data center will not be a problem at all.

So, Howard pursued his victory and made another phone call to one of the founders of Microsoft.

The capital circle has the same strict hierarchy as the mafia.

However, it is difficult for the mafia to choose a truly top godfather, but the capital circle can.

The only godfather in the entire European and American capital circle is Howard. In every listed company here, Rothschild holds a certain proportion of shares through various methods, not to mention those well-known banks and top venture capital.

Therefore, Howard has extraordinary influence on any company in the United States.

The phone rang twice and was 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 are you doing lately?"

Bill on the other end of the phone sneered: "It's not bad. You know, after retirement, I just travel around, spend money, give speeches, and do random charity."

"Very good." Howard said with a smile: "If you do bad things and do good things at the same time, and the positives and negatives balance out, God will forgive you, don't you think?"

Bill knew that the other party was making fun of him, so he could only smile and say: "Charity does not ask for anything in return."

After that, Bill's tone gradually became more relaxed, and he said with a smile: "If God really wants to calculate my merits and demerits, I'm afraid it will take a powerful audit team to calculate clearly."

Having said this, Bill asked curiously: "Mr. Rothschild, you didn't call me today just to tease me, right?"

Howard smiled and said: "Many years ago, people said that if you pick up a hundred dollars, you will lose a thousand dollars. I am 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 is something I need you to do a small favor for."

Bill said without hesitation: "Just tell me, there is no need to say more about our relationship. I will help anyone 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 startled for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Rothschild, if Microsoft's cloud service is a Boeing 747, then the Nordic data center is one of the four engines of this 747. Airlines It is impossible to remove an engine from an operating aircraft and sell it. Once sold, half of Europe's cloud services will be paralyzed, and it will be difficult for several other data centers to handle such a large demand in a short period of time. , we didn’t leave such a big redundancy in the design.”

"Impossible." Howard said calmly: "When the Boeing 747 first flew more than fifty years ago, I was one of the invited guests. At that time, you were only a teenager. It is impossible for you to know the Boeing 747 better than me. Even if A two-engine aircraft can ensure that when one engine fails, the other engine can ensure that the aircraft continues to fly for 180 minutes. For a four-engine aircraft like the Boeing 747, losing one engine will not have any impact at all. Your data Doesn’t the system leave any design redundancy?”

Bill quickly said: "Mr. Rothschild, this is not how we look at it. The current demand for cloud processing is very large, and the demand for data storage on the cloud is also staggering. The redundancy we have left needs to be processed for data." Leave some margin during peak periods. If the data center in Northern Europe is taken out, users in half of Europe will be affected."

Howard paused slightly and said earnestly: "Bill, I have known your mother for a long time. We were very familiar with her when she was still working at IBM. I have watched you grow up to this day. Don't forget, I have given you a lot of help during this process, including when you were in trouble, and I was the one who helped you. Now that I am an old man, I need your help. Isn’t it appropriate for you to have this problem and that problem at the same time?"

Bill was silent for a moment and said helplessly: "Okay, Mr. Rothschild, give me some time, and I'll have someone prepare for data migration. After the migration is completed, this data center will be yours."

Howard was satisfied and said with a smile: "Bill, God bless you, so I do too."

Bill said helplessly: "Thank you for your blessing, Mr. Rothschild."

Howard smiled and said: "Come to the Rothschild Manor at seven o'clock in the evening, and I will treat you to a meal."

Bill said without hesitation: "Okay Mr. Rothschild, I will definitely attend the appointment on time."

……

A few minutes later, in the Rothschild family meeting room.

All the members of the Rothschild family have arrived, and the seats on both sides of the more than ten-meter-long conference table are full. Only the exclusive seat of the first patriarch is still empty.

Behind the seats on both sides, there were two circles of temporary small benches, because the heads of all the collateral families were also present.

At this time, the conference room was full of people. The direct members of the Rothschild family at the conference table were chatting happily. Only Steve and his son were a little depressed, while the representatives of the collateral families behind them were all chatting happily. Whispering among each other in low voices, they didn't know what happened to the Rothschild family in the past two days, and they didn't know what the old man's purpose was in calling them all here.

Most of these collateral families have foreign surnames, but some have the surname Rothschild. However, all collateral families with the surname Rothschild are basically brothers or cousins ​​of Howard, and those with foreign surnames Most of them were people with foreign surnames who married women from the Rothschild family and then pledged allegiance to Rothschild.

For these collateral families, they had almost no opportunity in the past to come to the Rothschild family estate and attend high-end meetings organized by Howard.

After all, Howard is the patriarch of the family. He usually has almost no direct contact with these collateral families. The collateral families usually interact with some professional managers of the Rothschild family. Even Steve is not one of them. You can see it if you want.

There was a sudden meeting here today, and all the members of the collateral family were wondering whether Howard was going to pass on the position of patriarch to his eldest son today.

However, what made them so gossipy was that their eldest son Steve seemed to be the only unhappy person in the room, the other being his eldest son Royce.

It stands to reason that if he were to succeed as the clan leader today, they would be the happiest, or the only two happiest people here.

So looking at this situation, today's meeting should not be a good thing for Steve. Could it be that there is a change of successor?

Because they couldn't figure it out, a bunch of side families gathered together and whispered among themselves, and no one could keep their mouths shut.

Such a scene made Steve feel anxious.

After all, he was also a person who wanted to be shameless. He was always being peeked at and discussed in private, which made him feel like a girl waiting for a price in the Middle Ages, and he was unbearably shy.

Just when the crowd was buzzing, the door to the conference room was suddenly pushed open. The butler who pushed the door immediately withdrew to one side. Then, the proud Howard Rothschild walked in with strong steps. .

As soon as everyone saw him, they immediately stopped shouting and whispering, then looked at him intently and saluted him with attention.

And it was during this process that everyone discovered that Howard Rothschild was in an especially good mood.

This mood was particularly good, just like the state an eighteen-year-old boy would feel when he walked out of his bedroom the next morning after finishing his graduation prom and having a successful night with his dance partner.

It stands to reason that Howard is so old and has so much money to spend. He has eaten, seen, played and handled everything in the world, not to mention the old fox, who has long known what it means to be indifferent to emotions and anger. , this state of grinning even while walking is really unpredictable.

Even the direct members of the Rothschild family were a little puzzled.

They didn't know that the old man was already very happy yesterday. Why was he still so excited today? He seemed even more excited than yesterday. What good thing had happened?

Seeing the old man's smiling face, Steve felt even more panicked. He thought to himself: "Could this be another breakthrough for the old man? Otherwise, why would he be so excited?"

At this time, Howard was already very excited.

The graphics card is done, the data center is also done, and what’s left is the data migration of the AI ​​model and its local deployment in Northern Europe. Since the data migration no longer requires any external help, for Howard, it’s a good idea for now. All is ready except for the opportunity.

Before he came in, he had already communicated with the head of the AI ​​team. As 40,000 graphics cards were about to be put in place and Microsoft's data center was about to be vacated, the possibility of solving the problem within a month had jumped from almost zero at the beginning. To almost one hundred percent.

This also indicates that there is less than a month left between him and the half pill!
