Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

In addition to Nvidia, international tech giants such as Apple, Qualcomm, and Tesla were also invited to this year's Southeast University Blockchain Expo. However, none of their CEOs or founders attended. Jensen Huang is considered the most representative figure among the invited international tech giants.

Firstly, his ancestral home is in Dongda University, he is of Chinese descent, and he can speak Mandarin.

Secondly, Nvidia's dominant position in the GPU market remains unchallenged for the time being.

Third, and most importantly, American politicians have changed their tune, allowing Nvidia to sell H100 and even H200 high-performance computing chips to Dongda University. This means that Nvidia is very likely to monopolize Dongda University's AI chip market.

Huang Renxun signed a big deal this time.

In reality, most AI companies in China still use Nvidia chips, which were previously unavailable for direct purchase and were mostly resold from Singapore.

Singapore spends over 10 billion dollars annually on the H100 high-performance computing chip alone.

While billions may not seem like much, given Singapore's energy storage capacity, it's far from enough to power so many chips.

The implication is self-evident.

To put it bluntly, domestic AI companies that don't have several thousand Nvidia chips in hand are embarrassed to boast about how amazing their big models are.

Even the stripped-down version of the Nvidia H100 is their top choice.

These three reasons made Huang Renxun feel that he would be the most watched tech giant when he came to Southeast University to participate in the Blockchain Expo.

But to his surprise, whether he was participating in a science and technology forum on stage, being interviewed in the media area, or even visiting some old friends from Southeast University, everyone he talked about was "Jiangbei City"!
I felt like I suddenly lost my sense of existence.

Of course, what made him most uncomfortable was that Lei Jun originally wanted to arrange a dinner to introduce him to Jiang Beicheng so they could sit down and have some tea together, but Jiang Beicheng decisively refused the invitation.

The reason given for refusing was: I wanted to spend time with my family!

Huang Renxun could not accept this reason.

An entrepreneur of Jiang Beicheng's caliber, who is hailed as an elite of the times by Dongda University, carries a burden that is beyond the reach of ordinary people. How come he is still spending all his time with his family?
In other words, can a man who spends all his time revolving around his family reach such a high position?
Moreover, he was absent from today's Blockchain Expo, an international trade exchange event. Was it also to spend time with his family?
Clearly, Jiangbei City was not giving them any face.

They didn't take Huang Renxun seriously.

Jiang Beicheng was indeed not in the mood to make a special trip to Beijing to attend Lei Jun's dinner party and engage in mutual flattery with Huang Renxun at the dinner table.

Jiangbei City's absence from the Blockchain Expo is because the leaders of the organizer, the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, did not give him face when the Global General Chamber of Commerce of the Port was established.

The leaders of the Federation of Industry and Commerce all went, while the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade is standing here pretending to be something it's not, saying that they can't go to Jiangnan City because they have to host an international friend.

If you were some high-ranking leader, it would be one thing, but this aloofness makes Jiang Beicheng very uncomfortable.

Upon further inquiry, it turned out that they were hosting a Vietnamese business organization.

This is an even bigger slap in the face for Jiangbei City.

So even with high-ranking officials from Beijing present, he still didn't attend this Blockchain Expo.

I have no interest in going on stage with Huang Renxun to discuss philosophy and show off.

The person in charge of the trade promotion council certainly understood what Jiang Beicheng meant, but dared not say a word.

After all, it was he who first disrespected Jiangbei City.

I was just very shocked that Jiang Beicheng wasn't interested in an event of this caliber.

Today, while pushing his daughter in a stroller around the manor, Jiang Beicheng glanced at news related to the Blockchain Expo on his phone.

Huang Renxun is undoubtedly a key figure in media coverage, but the discussions are all about Jiangbei City and himself.

Jiang Beicheng smiled.

Huang Renxun's trip to the University of Tokyo didn't turn out well; he failed to show off.

He also saw Huang Renxun's reply to the reporter, which outwardly expressed his respect to him.

In reality, it's just a way of appeasing the media.

If she truly wanted to be friends with him, she wouldn't have said, "If it doesn't conflict with work, I'd like to meet Jiang Beicheng."

Instead, they flew directly to Jiangnan City to visit him in person.

Numerous celebrities and wealthy businessmen from around the world have paid him a visit.

Huang Renxun, you even have to see if you're available. With this kind of attitude and sincerity, wouldn't Jiang Beicheng be lowering his status by accepting Lei Jun's invitation?
In the past, Jiang Beicheng might have considered it, or even gone to Beijing for the banquet with the mindset of exchanging ideas and learning, since the development of the global AI industry cannot be separated from Nvidia.

However, after receiving the "chip packaging" technology from the system, Nvidia's time on its pedestal began to count down.

It just so happens that Liu Yifei and Wu Wen are in Shanghai busy with Haute Couture Fashion Week, so Jiang Beicheng should spend more time with his daughter these next few days.

Normally, it's my mother-in-law, Liu Xiaoli, and the nanny who take care of the child.

After a few days of rest, I will fly to the Golden Triangle Free Trade Zone to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony and investment promotion activities.

In the Golden Triangle region, Jiangbei City is already the de facto leader of the Thai-Chinese triad.

……

"I can see that the people of this country like to create idols. The last one was Jack Ma, and now it's Jiangbei City." Huang Renxun raised an eyebrow and smiled while eating. "I hope Jiangbei City won't follow in Jack's footsteps."

Lei Jun's smile suddenly vanished.

He knew that Huang Renxun was saying these things because he harbored resentment towards Jiangbei City.

However, he cannot side with Huang Renxun now, despite Jiangbei City repeatedly humiliating him in public.

It's still because of his own identity.

You need to understand the rules of Tokyo University.

He didn't dare to act as a peacemaker. Huang Renxun's resentment and Jiang Beicheng's refusal to eat at the same table were already expressing their respective attitudes.

When a peacemaker is caught in the middle, he's disliked by everyone.

He didn't respond to Huang Renxun's comment about Jiang Beicheng. He knew Jiang Beicheng too well and understood the attitude of the higher-ups. Jiang Beicheng and Ma Yun were on completely different levels.

Jiang Beicheng carries an even greater mission on his shoulders.

He won't fall.

Now is the time when he needs to charge into battle.

Even if he doesn't achieve the results expected above, he won't end up like Jack Ma, because he has the resources.

It's no exaggeration to say that the Golden Triangle is now a "country within a country".

Xiaomi was one of the invited parties to this investment promotion conference for the Golden Triangle Free Trade Zone.

Setting up a business there is safer than anywhere else overseas.

Lei Jun skillfully changed the subject, talking about Huang Renxun's visit to Xiaomi Group for exchanges.

Huang Renxun also sensed that Lei Jun dared not provoke Jiang Beicheng. After so many years of friendship and business partnership, he did not make things difficult for Lei Jun by having to take sides.

The two continued eating and drinking.

……

"Mr. Huang, there is a public relations issue that not only concerns your reputation but may also affect the business during your trip to Dongda University. I need to report to you immediately!"

Just as Huang Renxun finished packing and was about to visit Xiaomi Group, his secretary rushed over to report.

Huang Renxun looked at his secretary.

The secretary found the relevant screenshots and videos and handed them over to Huang Renxun.

Huang Renxun was furious after reading it and slammed his fist on the table.

A netizen from Dongda University commented on his attire and demeanor at the Blockchain Expo: "Wearing a traditional Chinese suit, speaking English, he has a very Chinese appearance, but a beautiful heart!"

This comment was originally nothing, just a joke among netizens, and other netizens joined in the teasing. It had little impact on him personally, let alone on Nvidia's business.

However, someone liked this comment, making it a trending topic in the news.

The person who liked this post was the same name that had been constantly echoing in his ears these past few days: Jiang Beicheng. (End of Chapter)
