As soon as the call was answered, Charlie said to Helena, "You have to push Harrison on the AI model, the sooner the better." Helena said, "Okay, Mr. Wade. I'll call him right away." She then asked, "Have you read the latest technology news? The AI company controlled by the Rothschild family has just completed a new upgrade, and it has caused a sensation in European and American technology circles." "Really?" Charlie asked curiously, "What new functions have been upgraded?" Helena answered, "I looked it through, the upgraded new feature is video generation. Now, the computing power they open to enterprise users has supported the generation of a 60-second AI video through the specified text. Although the video effect has not yet reached the point of being real, it is much stronger than many animation effects that cost a lot of money to use virtual engine 3D modeling. It is very powerful." Charlie suddenly thought of what Vera had told him when he was in the United States two d
In his excitement, Charlie was very clear that this brilliant move did not come from him, but from Vera. Thinking of this, he felt particularly grateful to Vera. If it weren't for her reminder, he would never have thought to extort an AI model from Harrison. After all, his original intention was merely to use the Healing Pill to control Harrison and Julien. As for the money from the sale of the Healing Pill, he wanted to do a favor for Helena, which would be her reward and also help the Nordic royal family improve their strength. But now, the AI model he had unintentionally acquired might be his biggest reward from this trip to America. Hence, he immediately said to Helena, "Urge Harrison to speed up. If he can complete the setup of the AI model in the shortest possible time, I will give him the right to purchase half the pill. Once the AI model is up and running, he can pay and get the pill anytime." "Okay, Mr. Wade," Helena replied with a chuckle. "With your words, I thi
Harrison said with a smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the acknowledgment. I never imagined that AI technology could have such a tremendous impact." Helena added, "By the way, regarding the AI model being implemented in Northern Europe, I hope you can expedite the process so that this model can be established and officially operational as soon as possible." Harrison agreed without hesitation, "Please rest assured. I have paid close attention to this matter and have instructed them to begin preparing the hardware. The team in charge of building the cloud server is ready to go to Northern Europe to choose a site. Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner." Helena asked, "How long do you think it will take to get everything done?" "Well..." Harrison said, "I talked to the person in charge of the AI project, and he said it could take at least two years." "Two years?!" Helena gasped in shock and asked with a frown, "Why would it take so long?" Harrison swiftly explained,
"O-One month?!" Harrison sucked a breath nervously and then snapped, "Your Highness, one month is simply impossible. As I just told you, we may have completed the site selection for our data center in Europe in a month, but not the design and setup. I can't let them build the hardware of the model in the open air, can I?" Helena suggested, "Mr. Rothschild, while I may not understand high-tech matters, I feel that if I wanted to settle in a place, there's no need to start entirely from scratch by selecting a site, designing, and building a new house, right? Wouldn't it be simpler to find an existing property that meets all my needs and just buy it directly?" She continued, "If you're worried about the cost, don't worry, I can cover it." Harrison's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly replied, "No, no! Money is not an issue at all! I'll take care of it. I'll have my team immediately look into what suitable data processing centers exist in the Nordic region. If we find one, we'll
Harrison's mind was filled with the purchase right of half the elixir. Even without Helena's urging, he wanted to send the AI model to her as soon as possible. If that didn't work, he could just take the model in Silicon Valley and give it to her. Hence, he respectfully and firmly promised, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I'll oversee this matter throughout the entire process. If Nvidia doesn't have enough GPUs, I have other ways. The person in charge of the AI model told me that the Zuckerberg guy seems to have hundreds of thousands of H100s. If Nvidia can't give me that amount in three days, I'll go to Zuckerberg personally for the rest. I'm sure that young man won't refuse me." Helena finally put her mind at ease after hearing this and said with a smile, "I feel so relieved now. Since Zuckerberg has that many GPUs, I suggest that you try to get 40,000 from him. After all, the AI model will be updated frequently and quickly. Once it is updated, it will need more processing po
Harrison was truly being manipulated by Helena now. He had originally thought that securing a second pill within the next three to five years would be the best possible outcome he could hope for. But who would have thought that out of nowhere, such a huge opportunity would land right in his lap? Getting another half of the Healing Pill—forget whether it would add two or three more years to his life. The key was that the effect of the pill was immediate. He already felt like he had regained the physical state he had had years ago. If he were to get another half of the pill, wouldn't his health improve even further? Once money was no longer a problem, the only thing left to worry about was how to live longer and better. And the pill Helena offered could address both of these issues at once. So, that half of the pill? He was determined to get it! Thus, after ending Helena's call, Harrison immediately called the person in charge at Nvidia. As soon as the call was answered, th
Normally, the number of graphics cards that could be shipped each day was about 4,000 to 5,000 according to the current production capacity. The key was that many companies had a strong demand for this graphics card. They didn't need to be notified to pick up the goods. They usually went to the delivery center of the assembly plant two to three days in advance to wait for the delivery date. Some even took a helicopter to the assembly plant to wait. As soon as the graphics cards were delivered, they would immediately take the helicopter to their own company. After all, AI was currently the biggest trend in the global tech industry without question. Not only were the world's top companies racing to procure H100 graphics cards to train their AI models, but even small and medium-sized enterprises in Silicon Valley were tightening their belts to purchase them. Some companies had even announced they were going all in on AI, leading to unprecedented demand for this particular graphics car
After experiencing the miraculous effects of the Healing Pill, Harrison had come to understand the principle of rare treasures being invaluable. Sometimes, there were things money simply couldn't buy even if you had all the money in the world. The Healing Pill was one such example, and Nvidia's graphics cards were, in a way, another. Still, he was overall satisfied with the responses from both Nvidia and Mark. While both had shown hesitation and reluctance, they had ultimately delivered the results he wanted. 40,000 graphics cards were the biggest obstacle between him and half the Healing Pill. Once this hurdle was cleared, Microsoft's data center would no longer pose any issue. With this in mind, Harrison pressed on, making another call—this time to one of Microsoft's founders. The world of capital operated with a hierarchy as rigid as that of the mafia. However, while the mafia struggled to identify a single true godfather, the world of capital already had one. The sole g
Jacob zipped toward Raymond, his attitude immediately subservient, "I'm sure you've seen what Zachary Evans posted on his Twitter page, and to be honest, it's so terrible that my position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association has been affected too. I mean, you've made a lot of money, right?"Hell, even if you donated ten million, you'd still have another ten million and 970 thousand in net profits. So, all I'd like to ask is for you to post something to disclaim Zachary's post.Jacob's words left Raymond in thought.For Jacob, just being suspected of fraud would definitely be terrible. In fact, his position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association would definitely be threatened—if not dismissed altogether—if he wasn't cleared of suspicion.Since Jacob was Charlie Wade's father-in-law, Raymond had reason not to drive Jacob over the brink.But that also begged another question—it must be under Charlie's intention for Zachary to post his confession, and that meant Charlie in
Raymond couldn't help chuckling just as Jacob finished—he had honestly never heard of anyone who demanded a refund after donating to charity, but he was certainly seeing one now.Still, the receptionist was clearly experienced and slowly explained, "Sir, it's a legal clause of the country that all donations for philanthropy purposes can not be refunded under most circumstances—""It truly was a mistake," Jacob quickly said, cutting the receptionist off. "I was going to donate thirty thousand but pressed an extra zero by mistake. Please discuss this with your management—you just have to refund 27 thousand, see?""Sorry, sir," the receptionist apologized. "But it's a strict rule that we ourselves do not get to access the funds that have been donated into our accounts. Every donation will be screened extensively, and if you consider that there was a major oversight on your part, you may seek legal counsel to appeal for a refund. If the courts back your appeal, our organization will the
Nonetheless, Jacob darted into Treasure Measure and plucked off his mask, asking nervously, "Excuse me, Mr. Cole? It's me… Jacob Wilson…"Raymond looked up, pausing for a moment before acting as if he was actually curious, "Mr. Wilson! What brings you here? Don't tell me—you want that bronze sculpture back too?""No, no, no…" Jacob quickly shook his head. "I would never… I returned all the way from Dubai to apologize!""Apologize?" Raymond smiled faintly, and he did not play dumb this time as he asked bluntly, "Did you come back because of Zachary Evan's post?"Knowing he couldn't deny it any longer, Jacob nodded, "Yeah…"Raymond nodded and said calmly, "That's unnecessary. I was the one who benefited in the end."Jacob wasn't quite keeping up—thinking that Raymond was just trying to be nice by telling him he didn't have to apologize, he quickly pulled out his phone.Tapping on it and bringing up his transaction records, he handed it to Raymond reverently, "Mr. Cole, I understan
The cabbie chuckled. "You're a local yet you're heading to Antique Street right away as soon as you land instead of going home? And you're still saying you're not trying to pick up a killer bargain deal?"Come on, man—it's not just you, I want that too. We cabbies work ourselves to death only for ten thousand per month at best while our friend over there made twenty million in one night. I could keep driving cabs for the rest of my life and still not make that much money."Jacob knew that the cabbie must be talking about Raymond and became even more miserable then, grumbling unhappily, "I'm going to Antique Street for business—I'm not trying to pick up some missed bargain.""No? Then you didn't hear what happened yesterday?"The cabbie was immediately curious, and without waiting for Jacob's answer, he exclaimed happily, "Look, man—it was so ridiculous not even Hollywood would put it in their script. There were these fools who were trying to sell an antique trader a replica, but th
It was nighttime in Dubai as Jacob dragged his weary body from the hotel back to the airport.As he was flying economy this time, he was left sitting at the hard bench near the boarding terminal, waiting for it to open.While he waited, his heart was torn as he tapped into the website of the Aurous Hill Charity Fund, found their donation account, and wired the entire 300 thousand he had made over to them.He had picked the Aurous Hill Charity Fund because the circles of antique collectors in Aurous Hill were all discussing how Raymond had donated half of the 20 million he had made to that same charity fund.After Raymond skyrocketed to prominence in Antique Street and became a star, it could not be denied that people admired his profound ability.However, there were also people who envied his skill in turning the tables just as there were those who were jealous he had made twenty million in a single night.Still, Raymond moved fast—soon after word spread that he had made twenty m
Elaine quickly asked, "Well, what if you can't get it done?"Jacob was apprehensive even as he sighed. "If they really pressed the issue, guess I can't even stay at the Calligraphy and Painting Association now… We will see. If things get bad, I'll just resign. I won't ask for much right now, just as long as I don't have to go to jail."Elaine nodded. "Then you should try to reason things out with Raymond Cole or ask for Charlie's help if push comes to shove. Being humiliated is still better than prison.""Okay!"-It was nighttime at Aurous Hill by the time Elaine and Jacob arrived at their hotel.Charlie and Claire had just had dinner, and Claire pulled out her phone, saying, "I just checked my flight app, and it says my parents should have landed two hours ago. They are probably at the hotel, so I'll check in on them with a video call."She had yet to open her WhatsApp when Elaine called her on a video call.Jacob was planning to check in with Claire and Charlie to put their
Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300
"But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom
"Mr. Wilson, what you boys did was truly heinous!" Don Arnold growled. "I scolded Zachary myself when I found out, and I was the one who told him to post that statement!"Jacob was shocked. "But why, Don Arnold? Are you friends with Raymond Cole?""Never met the guy," Don Arnold replied.That left Jacob even more confused. "Then why are you taking his side?""I've been doing my best to clean up my image over the past couple of years," Don Albert replied coolly. "I rarely get involved in mob business or anything illicit, and everyone in Aurous Hill knows that Zachary is my right-hand man, yet he confessed to committing such a heinous crime behind my back. What is that if not sullying my reputation?"Jacob was left reeling as he didn't expect Don Albert to be so serious, but he quickly explained, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to affect you so terribly… It's all Zachary's fault! I wouldn't have been aware that Raymond had returned at all, but he just had to tell me and come up with
