A100 industrial-grade A-class graphics card.

Last year, the market price was about 150,000 yuan.

In the same way that CSGO cosmetics generally have five wear ranges.

The second-hand market for A100 graphics cards also varies according to the degree of use.

But even if it's scarred by war.

As long as it can be used, it starts at 80,000.

This year, the sanctions will be further strengthened.

Affected by this, the price has also risen a lot.

If a single A100 is brand new and unused, the price starts at least 300,000 yuan.

Moreover, the high demand will increase the unit price.

For example, if you need 100 tickets, the price will be at least 35 million to 40 million to be able to get it.

The hashrate of an A100 is 0.6P.

To meet the needs of the Bai Ze project, at least 800 to 1,000 sheets are required.

And this time at the internal auction of customs.

That's exactly 1,200 sheets.

Lu Yiming's plan is to take them all.

No matter how much!

Xiangjiang Lu Yiming is still the second time to come.

But I didn't have a good look at it last time.

"Mr. Lu! I've already inquired! There are a total of seven companies that may target these graphics cards, but three of them are companies that have cooperated with us and have already said hello to us, but the other is a subsidiary of the Penguin family, and the other party seems to be interested in this lot."

Industrial-grade graphics card.

In particular, this is intercepted by customs and verified to be brand new.

The value of this 1,200 sheets.

At least 500 million to start.

In fact.

The ex-factory price of this thing is only more than 100,000 yuan.

That's how uncomfortable it is to be sanctioned.

Had to pay a high price to buy it.

However, it was intercepted by the customs, and it was destined to be cost-free, and the money from the auction was also rushed into the treasury, so Lu Yiming felt that it didn't matter how much it spent.

Immediately said indifferently: "Okay! Trouble! ”

Since the establishment of the group company.

Cao Siyun set up a secretary group for Lu Yiming.

There are a total of eight people headed by Zhuge Hong.

At present, it is Zhuge Hong who accompanied Lu Yiming to Xiangjiang for this auction.

I don't know why.

For the surname Zhuge Lu Yiming has a natural sense of trust.

It was also when I saw the list of these eight people.

Lu Yiming decided from the name alone that Zhuge Hong was the head of these eight people.

The auction was held at 10 a.m. the next morning.

Lu Yiming arrived at the scene early.

A form must be filled out to enter the venue.

Look at the fund cap on the table.

Lu Yiming turned his head to look at Zhuge Hong and asked, "How much should I fill in?" ”

The customs auction is relatively simple and crude.

Pure is less bells and whistles than bidding.

Zhuge Hong asked Lu Yiming to fill in casually.

After all, they are bound to win this auction.

Since it was just filling in Lu Yiming, there was nothing to say, so he directly filled the amount.

Fill in as many nines as there are squares.

Enter the auction site.

The hall is small.

Most of the people invited here were representatives of some large domestic companies.

In fact, there was no need for Lu Yiming to come in person.

This kind of thing just needs to be done by the people below.

But the auction has a great attraction for Lu Yiming.

Liang Guangquan.

The name alone can feel unfamiliar.

But when it comes to Tuojing Technology.

At least in the ears of shareholders, it should be thunderous.

There are only a handful of A-share prices with a single share price of more than 200.

Among them, Tuoqing Technology is one of them.

Lu Yiming arrived relatively early.

The position he was placed in the front row, and you can see the sign standing on the table on his left, which is written Tuoqing Technology.

At this time.

Zhuge Hong said softly: "Tuoqing Technology should be our biggest competitor in this auction. ”

In fact.

This batch of chips was seized by customs.

The buyer should be Tuoqing Technology.

However, they can only eat coptis dumbly.

Hearing this, Lu Yiming nodded.

Then he looked down at the pamphlet on the table.

This is the catalogue of items auctioned today.

In fact, today's auction is not just about the graphics card they need, there are more than 30 bidding items in total, all of which are needed by the semiconductor industry.

Small down to the raw material.

Avenue A-class graphics cards, etc.

It is expected that the turnover will be at least 10 billion.

It's hard to say whether the price can be cheap.

After all, there is a need for bidding.

But things are definitely rare, and there are even some things that are not currently available in formal ways.

Soon.

Eighty percent of the seats on site are full.

As soon as the time comes, the first auction item is carried out directly.

There are no bells and whistles in the process.

Another official staff member held a hammer and said: "Ten grams of graphene products, the starting price is 150 million!" The minimum price increase is 100,000! ”

Hear this.

Lu Yiming raised his eyebrows.

The brochure only has an introduction to the items, and there is no starting price.

The starting price of 10 grams of graphene is 150 million, which he did not expect.

That's when the role of the assistant comes in.

"Graphene is only produced by a few laboratories due to the difficult preparation process, and only a very small amount can be produced each year."

"The production of graphene requires the use of complex chemical vapor deposition techniques or mechanical stripping techniques, which can cost millions of dollars per gram."

"The starting price of 150 million is very low, in fact, the final bid should need 500 million"

Zhuge Hong introduced Lu Yiming in a low voice.

The bidding process has already begun.

After fierce bidding.

Sure enough, it was almost as Zhuge Hong predicted.

When the price exceeded 500 million, there were only two companies bidding.

More than thirty locations on site.

Attendance is eighty percent.

Each location represents a business.

This means that more than two dozen companies are participating.

The final transaction price was fixed at 530 million.

It was also at this time.

Lu Yiming took out his mobile phone.

By calculation.

His current net worth can't buy a few pounds

This is the first time since Lu Yiming established the group that he has the idea that an item feels too expensive.

The auction continues.

Prices are in the nine figures.

It can only be said that the semiconductor industry is really burning money.

Soon.

Finally arrived at the target item of Lu Yiming's trip.

1,200 A100 graphics cards are sold in a package.

The starting price is $180 million.

This thing is bought within 300 million and earned.

The auction price quickly exceeded 300 million.

It was also at this time.

Lu Yiming, who had not moved, raised the sign in his hand and shouted softly: "Five hundred million!" ”

Billion.

It's the cap price for this batch of A-class graphics cards.

The current bidding is just over 300 million.

Lu Yiming's offer attracted the attention of the people present.

In fact.

They paid attention to Lu Yiming when they entered the field.

After all, it's a streamer.

He is still familiar with frequent hot searches.

It is relatively rare for a boss of Lu Yiming's level to directly participate in an auction house of this level.

The price of 500 million directly is indeed outrageous.

But that doesn't mean they will give up.

A-class graphics cards are currently blocked too seriously, especially since there are 1,200 copies in this auction, which is almost more than half a month of the manufacturer's production capacity.

Soon.

When the auctioneer who is not very professional counts to two.

Immediately, someone raised a sign and made an offer of 510 million.

Previously, there were seven bidders.

At present, excluding Lu Yiming's price of 500 million, there are only two companies in the new round of bidding.

One of them is Tuoqing Technology, which sits next door to Lu Yiming.

"Mr. Lu~ It's more than 550 million, which is a bit of a loss for us."

It's not just a loss.

The unit price of 500 million and a half has reached more than 450,000 per piece.

It is more than three times the ex-factory price.

However, this kind of industrial-grade graphics card is easy to get one or two copies, and it takes a certain amount of time to get thousands of them, in addition to the money.

And most importantly.

There is currently no legal way to get so many brand new.

It can also be used second-hand.

But Lu Yiming must have arranged the best for Bai Ze.

Immediately raised the sign again and said: "600 million!" ”

Compared to at Christie's.

At present, the auctioneer on the scene has taken the unprofessional withdrawal to the extreme.

Faced with Lu Yiming's offer of 600 million.

It's just a repetition in a relaxed tone.

It's obvious.

Regardless of the amount of the bid, the auctioneer does not receive any commission.

The exaggeration of the price of 600 million has been further increased.

At this time.

Tuoqing Technology is responsible for the two people who participated in the auction.

One of them held his phone between his face and shoulder, holding a pile of information in his hand, blushing and saying something to the other end of the phone.

Another contender gave up.

At this time.

Lu Yiming took the time to ask Zhuge Hong on the side, "Why does Tuoqing Technology need so many A-level graphics cards?" Are they also working on artificial intelligence? ”

One thousand two hundred.

More than 700 P of computing power.

Even if the performance is combined, there are more than 300 P.

This level of computing power can provide the scientific research project required for a quasi-first-tier provincial capital.

Zhuge Hong also answered the question again.

However, the answer is more subtle.

"In fact~ it is rumored in the circle that Tuoqing Technology was originally the buyer of this batch of goods, and the current semiconductor market is hot, and many companies are ready to catch up with the train brought by Mr. Lu, and they have launched artificial intelligence projects."

Hear this.

Lu Yiming's expression was stunned.

I didn't expect that the reason why there was this competitor was because of myself.

But isn't he worried that he won't sell him in the future?

Come to think of it.

Lu Yiming suddenly thought of something.

immediately scolded himself for being stupid.

The core of the sanctions is because there is no, once there are sanctions, they will definitely be released, and this is not the first time that the other party has done this kind of thing.

In the end, the other party gave up.

The price is stuck at 620 million.

The price of a single sheet is more than 500,000.

For other items, Lu Yiming had no idea of bidding.

The entire auction house lasted more than an hour.

At the end of the day.

The two of Tuoqing Technology walked to Lu Yiming's side.

One of them opened his mouth and said, "Hello Mr. Lu! We want to invite you to a meal at noon, I don't know if it's convenient? ”

In fact.

It's just that they're the closest.

I can see that many people at the scene are currently coming towards Lu Yiming.

At this time.

Lu Yiming just got up.

Hearing this, he looked at him and said, "I'm sorry! I came here this time just to get this batch of graphics cards, anything related to work, please go directly to Mr. Cao, I personally don't care about anything in the company, so I think Mr. Liang and I should have nothing to talk about. ”

Lu Yiming is serious about being the shopkeeper.

I don't want to affect any of Cao Siyun's decisions and plans because of myself.

After the rejection.

Directly and Zhuge Hong left.

It was also Lu Yiming who even refused Liang Guangquan's invitation.

The rest of the people didn't come forward to disturb them.

The auction site is not far from the hotel where Lu Yiming is staying.

During the car, Zhuge Hong said: "I have already said hello to the customs here, and the goods will take the evening flight directly to Xingcheng, and then we can pick up the goods directly at Xingcheng Customs." ”

Lu Yiming nodded lightly at this.

When I was asked if I would go straight back to the hotel when I got in the car.

Lu Yiming thought for a while and said, "Let's go to Central first!" I remember I had a property over there. ”

Previously, Tianen Lu Yiming obtained a luxury apartment in Xiangjiang Central.

I appointed a lawyer to go through the formalities.

But Lu Yiming never had time to take a look.

The total area is 1,200 square feet.

Converted to a total of more than 130 square meters.

Although the public stall has been scolding the richest man in Xiangjiang.

But in fact, Xiangjiang abolished the term "public sharing" a long time ago.

130 square meters of the inner area of the suite.

The house is not small anymore.

At this time.

The lobby of the hotel where Lu Yiming stayed.

I can see that there are many middle-aged people with assistants or secretaries, looking like they are waiting for something.

His eyes are always looking at the door from time to time.

The housing prices in Xiangjiang are also among the top 10 in the world.

Not to mention the new homes in this prime location of Central.

The average price is more than 300,000 yuan.

However, Lu Yiming's house is even more exaggerated, the average price is 500,000 square meters, and the whole house is more than 60 million yuan without decoration.

Including decoration, it is hundreds of millions.

More than 30 million decorations can no longer be described as luxurious.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a palace.

The entrance door made of pure copper is millions of dollars gone.

The rarest thing is the obviously heavy door.

But it's silky smooth to push.

I can't help but wonder if there is a cut of corners.

Zhuge Hong stood at the door and waited.

Lu Yiming looked around his house with the attitude of visiting.

It can only be said that Lu Yiming will not buy this kind of house if he buys it himself.

To the price, he can't accept it.

It's just that it is difficult for him to come to Xiangjiang several times a year, and the opportunity to stay here is very rare.

Come to think of this.

He immediately walked to the door and looked at Zhuge Hong and said, "I'll sleep on this today!" Tomorrow I want to go around, so go where you want to go! ”

It's a rare trip.

Naturally, there is no hurry to go back.

The housekeeper here is responsible for cleaning, and there is no problem with direct occupancy.

Zhuge Hong has a lot of information in his hands.

Yes, choose to go directly back to the hotel.

But after entering the hotel lobby, I was immediately surrounded by a group of people.

"Hello! I'm Dongfang Huachuang, is Mr. Lu here? ”

"Hello."

Lu Yiming's current influence in semiconductors.

It can be called the uncrowned king.

Or maybe it's a spiritual leader.

At present, there are dozens of companies that can get on the car.

As for the project exposed by Lu Yiming at the previous Candle Dragon second-generation machine press conference.

No more than one company knows about it.

Lu Yiming's trip to Xiangjiang this time was to let them see the opportunity.

Trying to get close to Lu Yiming to get more information.

Of course.

It would be nice to have a chance to get on the bus.

Faced with so many self-reported families, and basically some bigwigs in the circle, Zhuge Hong was in a trance for a moment.

After all, many of these people are calling for wind and rain in the industry.

Now they are concentrated in the hotel lobby just waiting for their boss.

At this time.

A wave of self-confidence arises spontaneously.

Zhuge Hong said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I'm sorry ~ Mr. Lu will not talk about any work on this trip to Xiangjiang, please contact us directly if you have something, Mr. Cao, don't disturb the mood of our Mr. Lu's trip to Xiangjiang~"
