The Super Rich: Start from when the family business is about to go bankrupt!

Chapter 746 What is WPG's core competitiveness? Cheating is unbeatable! If necessary, we will pursue and eliminate them no matter how far they are!
In fact, A100 chips can be obtained through legitimate channels within Xia Guo, but these so-called 'legitimate channels' are previously unbanned inventory.

Such inventory is very expensive, sometimes reaching as high as $50,000 per piece, far exceeding NVIDIA's official suggested retail price, indicating a serious premium issue.

If Wugengtian (the company name) wants to use such inventory to build new internal servers, the corresponding price will be relatively high.

However, if Anwuyang can obtain the A100 chip, or even the latest generation H100 chip, through special channels, the corresponding cost will be reduced significantly.

As it happens, An Wuyang actually has such a channel!

'Anwuyang: How many A100 or H100 chips do you need?'

Ye Tianling: At least 30 A100 cards or 6 H100 cards.

Ye Tianling: If Director An can obtain 30 H100 chips, then we will be very difficult to breach in the event of a subsequent hacker attack.

The A100 chip has a computing power of 312 trillion floating-point operations per second;
The H100 chip can achieve a computing power of 1671 trillion floating-point operations per second.

The difference between the two is more than five times, so if you choose the H100 chip, you only need one-fifth of the number of A100 chips.

If 30 H100 chips form a cluster, the corresponding computing power will be increased to 50130 trillion floating-point operations per second.

People outside the computer industry may not have a concept of this computing power, but if you compare it with the previous rankings of the world's supercomputers, you can get a basic understanding of its strength.

In 2013, China's Tianhe-2 supercomputer won the title of the world's number one supercomputer, but its computing power was only 338.6 trillion floating-point operations per second.

This world's number one computing power was completely crushed by a computing cluster composed of 30 H100 chips!

In 2016, Xia Guo's [Sunway TaihuLight] once again won the first place in supercomputer rankings, with a computing power of 93000 quadrillion floating-point operations per second.

A computing cluster composed of 30 H100 chips can still rank among the top ten supercomputers in the world!
This demonstrates the computing power of 30 H100 chips and the advancements in the computer field.

In less than ten years, the world's former number one supercomputer was actually crushed in terms of computing power by a mere 30 GPU chips. That's really too exaggerated, isn't it?

An Wuyang: Okay, I'll handle it!

In fact, An Wuyang would not handle the matter himself, nor would he mobilize Shadow Shield Security Company to handle it.

While Shadow Shield Security can certainly handle this matter, it would be more complicated and less efficient.

There are better and more efficient ways to ensure safety!

An Wuyang sent a message directly to Musk.

'An Wuyang: Elon, I need your help to purchase some A100 chips, preferably H100 chips. Can you help me with that?'

An Wuyang didn't ask if Musk was there, nor did she vaguely ask if she could help. Instead, she directly stated the specifics of the matter.

This is modern courtesy!

The greatest courtesy people can show on social media these days is not to ask if someone is there, but to directly state what you need so that others can decide whether they are available or not!
After all, if it's about borrowing money, the other person can choose not to be there, thus avoiding an awkward situation for both parties.

Musk: No problem, no big deal!

Musk: How many H100 chips do you need? 100 should be enough?

Since An Wuyang said that the H100 chip would be best, Musk directly inquired about the H100 chip.

Musk: We can get the price of H100 chips from NVIDIA down to $2.5 per chip, which I can sell to you at cost.

An Wuyang looked at the message Musk sent and couldn't help but smile.

One hundred?

Ye Tianling's optimal requirement was only thirty sheets!

An Wuyang immediately sent a message to Ye Tianling.

'An Wuyang: If you could obtain one hundred H100 chips, could you better defend against hacker attacks in the future?'

Ye Tianling: !!!

Ye Tianling: Of course!

Ye Tianling: However, Mr. An, the latest H100 chip is very difficult to obtain. It hasn't been officially released yet, and there will definitely be shortages in the early stages.

'An Wuyang: That's my business.'

'An Wuyang: You should now prepare in advance for the one hundred H100 chips.'

Ye Tianling: Understood!

An Wuyang and Ye Tianling finished their conversation before replying to Musk.

'An Wuyang: That's enough. When can you receive the goods?'

Musk: I'm not sure. I need to talk to NVIDIA first, but I don't think there should be any major problems.

Musk: I'll message them right away to check on things.

'All is well: Okay.'

Instead of sending a message, Musk directly contacted NVIDIA's yellow-clad leader by phone.

Both men are top capitalists in the United States and have each other's contact information.

A moment later, the man in the yellow jacket answered Musk's call and spoke first, "Hello, Elon, it's nice to receive your call. How can I help you?"

"Hello, Jason, I'd like to purchase some H100 chips." Musk didn't mince words; he went straight to the point.

After all, both of their time was precious, so they naturally didn't waste any time.

"No problem, how many do you need?" The man in the yellow jacket asked directly about the quantity, without even inquiring why Musk wanted to buy these H100 chips.

“One hundred,” Musk responded.

"So few?" The man in the yellow jacket was surprised. He had thought that Musk was going to purchase H100 chips on a large scale in order to enter the field of artificial intelligence, but it turned out that Musk only needed a hundred?
This is too little!
According to Huang Piyi's prediction, if Musk wants to enter the field of artificial intelligence, the starting point should be 30,000 H100 chips. If Musk is ruthless, it is not impossible for him to directly use 100,000 H100 chips.

Musk laughed and replied, "I'm buying it for someone else."

"Oh?" The man in the yellow jacket became curious, because Musk's willingness to say that he was helping others buy meant that the matter could be discussed further.

Otherwise, Musk would never have said it!

“These chips are needed at dawn,” Musk replied.

The man in the yellow jacket immediately smiled. He understood why Musk had mentioned helping someone buy the item; it was the other party doing him a favor.

"If it were dawn, I'd prefer to barter!" the man in the yellow coat stated his condition.

“One hundred H100 chips are priced at $250 million. I need two bottles of ‘Five-Watch Day’ (a type of product), and I’m willing to accept a price of $10 per bottle,” the man in the yellow jacket added.

Musk paid $8 for the "Two Joys" from Wugengtian, while Ren Tianxiang, the head of the Tyrande Pufeng Lotus Group, paid $10 for the same.

Furthermore, while overseas distributors also purchase Liang Huanxi's products at a factory price of $8, their retail prices sometimes reach as high as $20. Yellow Leather Jacket was clearly aware of these prices, so he offered a relatively mid-range price.

"I can't decide that; I need to ask Wugengtian what he thinks," Musk replied.

"Okay, I'll wait for your reply." After saying that, the man in the yellow jacket hung up the phone.

Musk immediately contacted An Wuyang and explained the requirements of the yellow leather jacket.

Faced with such a request, An Wuyang smiled. "What a great thing!"
Wouldn't that be equivalent to getting a hundred H100 chips for free?
Two Joys is very expensive outside, but for Anjia, Two Joys is just an ordinary daily drink.

Whether it's Li Wenya, Anhuchun, or An Wuyang, they all enjoy drinking these beverages regularly.

Especially Li Wenya, she can drink two or three bottles a day!

After all, the happiness of two families is something they produce themselves at dawn, and they really don't care about the cost when it comes to settling down with their own people.

Since Liang Huanxi is a fully self-produced chain, from the Tianjingyan medicinal herb planting base to Wugengtian, what other large costs could there be besides human resource production costs?

'An Wuyang: I agree to this exchange proposal.'

'All is well: But we need to get the H100 chip as soon as possible.'

Musk: Don't worry, I'll explain it to them.

An Wuyang: Okay, I'll leave this to you.

Musk: No problem.

Musk, acting as an intermediary, contacted the yellow-clad man again and explained the situation.

The man in the yellow jacket immediately agreed, but also made his own demands.

"Our H100 chip will not be officially launched until next month, and the initial production volume will be very limited, so we hope to keep it a secret after we get the H100 chip at dawn," the man in the yellow jacket explained.

Musk agreed on An Wuyang's behalf this time, saying, "No problem!"

"I've figured out why they're looking to buy high-performance chips. They've been repeatedly hacked in the early hours of the morning, so they probably want to build their own powerful servers to ensure network security," Musk added.

The man in the yellow jacket laughed. "Isn't it only right that their family was attacked?"

"After all, who wouldn't want to know their family's secrets?" the man in the yellow leather jacket retorted.

Musk's answer was no, "I don't want to!"

The man in the yellow jacket just chuckled twice, showing no intention of elaborating on the matter.
Musk added, "When will you deliver the goods? I see they're really urging us to do it before dawn."

The man in the yellow jacket responded, "Delivery won't be possible until at least March. H100 production capacity is severely insufficient, and we are still making samples."

"If the other party is willing to accept the second-generation enhanced A100 chip, we can deliver it immediately," the man in the yellow jacket added.

The A100 chip is currently in its second-generation enhanced version.

第一代A100芯片是A100-40GB显存版本，第二代增强型A100芯片是A100-80GB显存版本，双倍的显存意味着处理大规模数据集时吞吐量提升3倍规模。

For example, when processing the DLRM recommendation model, more video memory will result in better efficiency.

Faced with this situation, Musk, the middleman, said he would have to coordinate again.

After nearly half an hour of repeated coordination, An Wuyang finally proposed a double insurance strategy: he wanted both the second-generation A100 chip and the H100 chip, which is a typical case of wanting both.

Thirty of the second-generation A100 chips were required as a transitional measure.

The remaining one hundred H100 chips will be delivered after NVIDIA officially releases the H100 chip.

The two sides continued to trade in a barter system, with the total price of 30 second-generation A100 chips at $1.3 each, amounting to $39.

Only $39
An Wuyang even generously offered to give Huang Piyi four bottles of Liang Huanxi!

Four bottles of Liang Huanxi are not even enough for An Wuyang's mother's daily expenses for two days, so why should An Wuyang be so stingy?
Therefore, the cooperation between the two parties was successfully achieved!

More importantly, Musk directly helped An Wuyang pay for four bottles of Liang Huanxi, and at the same time, he directly used his private jet to send 30 second-generation A100 chip accelerator cards to Shengqing.

Musk was in charge of handling the departure checks in the United States, while An Wuyang was in charge of the entry checks in Shengqing.

This was a very easy thing for both of them.

After all, the A100 chip is only a prohibited item in the category of electronic devices, not something else that can seriously threaten regional security, so bypassing the inspection is not a big problem.

'All is well: Elon, thanks for this!'

Musk: We don't need to stand on ceremony between us.

An Wuyang only believed half of Musk's polite words. Their relationship was indeed quite good, but it was only based on shared interests.

If a conflict of interest arises, then you need to think it over carefully, right?
The night is getting darker.

In the Five Blessings Villa Complex, in An Wuyang's detached villa, Zhuang Xiaomeng took the initiative and dragged An Wuyang to the bathroom to take a shower. Then, while washing up, she launched a cheating attack.

Zhuang Xiaomeng, who was originally no match for An Wuyang, had a way to cheat. She always liked to bite An Wuyang, so much so that An Wuyang always lost to her.

The only weak one right now is Xiao Qingyue, that little streamer.

At this moment, An Wuyang misses her very much!
After all, An Wuyang is a pro at picking on the weak.

An Wuyang has a great attitude. He can't beat the foreigners, he can't beat the dance students, and he can't even beat the cheaters, so he can only bully the little streamers!
The next day.

Around nine o'clock in the morning, when An Wuyang woke up, Zhuang Xiaomeng was still fast asleep, nestled against him!

Zhuang Xiaomeng wasn't a dance student, nor was she that foreigner who liked to exercise in the morning. She preferred to sleep in late with An Wuyang.

An Wuyang yawned. He didn't wake Zhuang Xiaomeng, but instead checked the messages on his phone.

Ye Tianling continued to report the situation throughout the night. The corresponding information indicated that even if the internal network were to come back online in the early hours of the morning, it would be attacked by hackers within three minutes at most.

An Wuyang checked the latest message reported by Ye Tianling. The corresponding time was 8:50 in the morning. This meant that there was a hacker team targeting Wujingtian around the clock.
An Wuyang frowned slightly; he didn't like this situation.

However, the 30 second-generation A100 GPU accelerator cards are about to arrive. According to Ye Tianling, that should be enough to block the corresponding hacker attacks, right?
If not.
Then don't blame An Wuyang for being ruthless!

In fact, Anwuyang already had a solution to this problem.

An Wuyang had previously asked Tongzi if he could use the "Though Far Away, We Will Catch Them" item card, and Tongzi gave an affirmative answer, only because there was only one of these item cards in stock.

Therefore, An Wuyang was reluctant to use it for the time being.

However, if the internal network is continuously attacked by hackers before dawn and cannot be resolved in a short time, An Wuyang will not hesitate to pursue and eliminate them no matter how far away they are!

After all, if you have a prop card but don't use it, then it has no value, right?
