At a Berlin conference, the former CEO told major clients a story about a busy Japanese soup vendor who refused to give him a second serving after he had waited in a long line, saying the vendor had too many customers and not enough soup. Huang used the story to highlight the value of maintaining a diverse customer base and keeping prices high, suggesting that Nvidia's circular financing strategy inflated GPU prices by creating the perception of high demand.
I hear that story and feel like the reason each consumer could.only buy one, was if one person bought them all, he couldn't maintain a consumer base and would be at the whim of his big buyers demands...
The lesson should have been to prioritize amount of customers over a few large contracts that could disappear overnight.
