Chapter 7323

Steve’s words made Marven take the computing power business seriously for the first time.

According to him, computing power has become the most sought-after resource in the world,

And also the one with the greatest potential for value retention and even appreciation.

Moreover, the AI computing power center that he had unintentionally developed to deal with the Warriors Den and Victoria has now become a hot commodity.

Given this, he certainly couldn’t miss such a good opportunity.

So, Marven asked Steve,

“Let’s not talk about renting out computing power for now.”

“If I want to build another computing power center now,”

“What do you think is the best approach?”

Steve replied truthfully,

“Mr. Ye, building a computing power center now isn’t about money,”

“It’s about the supply.”

“High-end computing graphics cards are in short supply,”

“And the waiting list is much more severe than before.”

“Moreover, Nvidia has been forced to publicly announce its production schedule,”

“So even we can’t jump the queue now.”

“Therefore, if you want to build such a large-scale computing power center now,”

“The cost will naturally be ten times higher or even more.”

“Because now, if you want to buy cards,”

“You have to pay an outrageously high price,”

“So high that the person who gets the cards feels that they might not even make as much money as selling them to you if they keep them.”

“Considering the sale,”

“A set of high-end computing cards, starting at $300,000, has now risen to over three million,”

“Almost four million US dollars.”

“Only by offering such a high premium can we possibly acquire enough cards to establish a new computing center.”

Marven frowned and said, “So shady?”

Steve could only explain,

“That’s just the market price.”

“This stuff is in short supply.”

“Everyone’s scrambling to buy it.”

“Companies like Meta, OpenAI,”

“And Claude are spending hundreds of billions of dollars buying computing cards all over the world.”

“Oh, and there’s Musk too.”

“That kid’s riding high right now.”

“If he keeps showing off for a while,”

“His personal wealth will probably surpass that of the Routhchild family.”

Marven couldn’t help but click his tongue.

For him, he was naturally happy to encounter such a coincidence,

But he absolutely couldn’t accept being ripped off.

Even if the current market price was ten times higher,

He still felt it was too much of a rip-off.

Steve continued, “But Mr. Ye,”

“Even if it were easy to set up the card now,”

“It would be difficult for your computing center to expand further.”

Marven asked curiously, “Why?”

Steve explained,

“The power supply in Northern Europe and even the whole of Europe is very tight.”

“To put it bluntly, the computing center is a huge power crusher.”

“They don’t have such a strong power supply locally.”

“So even if you have the card, it won’t work.”

Marven exclaimed,

“It’s the 21st century,”

“And Europe still has a power shortage?”

Steve chuckled and said,

“Oh, you may not know this, but Europe didn’t have a power shortage before.”

“But then they started focusing on environmental protection,”

“And everyone stopped doing their jobs properly.”

“A bunch of idiots protested whenever they saw a coal-fired power plant,”

“And they wanted to devour nuclear power plants.”

“Traditional coal-fired power generation and nuclear power generation were greatly restricted.”

“The key is that those guys couldn’t develop clean energy either.”

“In winter, many countries don’t even have enough natural gas for heating.”

“So where will they get so much energy to supply electricity?”

“Look at the Germans, they’re even more ridiculous.”

“They built nuclear power plants, and as soon as someone protested,”

“They simply stopped using them and turned around to buy French nuclear power plants at high prices.”

“Nuclear power, it feels like these people are just doing performance art.”
