I Breathe Euro

"Hey, it's me, Jack," Jack said while tapping on the middle-aged man's shoulders.

"Sir, I was just calling you." The middle-aged man first looked at Jack from head to toe, then smiled in relief.

Jack, dressed in an immaculate white overcoat paired with a matching white suit, pants, and shirt, complemented by a coffee-colored tie and shoes, looked like something straight out of a fairy tale—a strikingly elegant, white-clad male version of Cinderella.

"Alright, Stop staring at me; you're giving me the creeps," Jack said, then walked towards the building while his Rolls-Royce and Black Van followed him to the garage.

The security in the building came to Jack with a smile; Jack grabbed a bunch of 2K INR from his pocket and gave them.

"Sir?" The security of the building was astonished to receive 32K INR in cash.

"Help them out. There's a lot of cable; don't miss anything down here. I'll be upstairs." Jack pointed at the 7 Black vans and said.

The security guard smilingly nodded his head and went in the van's direction to help out.

Jack took the elevator. Butler was with him, and the middle-aged person was, although hesitating, he still went inside the elevator.

"Sir, We've procured everything you mentioned in your mail; the only thing I missed was the 'Nexans' cable you mentioned. A middle-aged man said as he was flipping the book in his hand, and there was also a pen in his hand.

Jack looked back to the idiot who just brought everything without a cable; the middle-aged man didn't notice Jack's gaze at first, but when he did, he stammered and said, "B...Belden, I've brought Belden Company's Industrial Grade Copper Cable."

"Belden is not bad as well." Jack nodded his head and relaxed because without cables the system won't work.

As Jack reached the 52nd floor, the huge door of his apartment was in sight. Butler ran and pressed the card and opened the door for Jack.

Experience tales with empire

The middle-aged guy who was Indian and was a delivery head of Luxaviation in India was astonished at Jack's grand apartment.

Jack, entering the apartment, looked at it; the whole floor was empty. Jack decided to occupy the whole 52nd floor as his AI computer.

Jack gestured to the bedrooms to be the server room, as he didn't believe in Google or anything cloud-based companies or tech giants; he wanted to build it himself.

"Sir, you've ordered around 21 monitors. Which one will go where?" A middle-aged man asked; the setup Jack ordered was complicated.

"Use these bedrooms. Ten monitors are in each bedroom; the biggest monitor would be here, in the living room, powered by 20 CPUs." Jack said.

"Yes, sir. Should I mix the AMD and Intel CPUs, or should they be placed in different rooms?" middle-aged man was asking and taking notes.

"Of course not. Put them in the different rooms. Okay, tell me what equipment you bought. Let's start with AMD CPUs. Jack asked as he searched for something to sit on, but as the apartment was empty, he just stood by the window.

"Yes, sir. For the AMD CPUs, you selected the AMD EPYC 9654 Processor with dual sockets, providing each PC with two processors. Each PC will also be equipped with four AMD Instinct MI300X GPUs. For storage, you've chosen Samsung PM1733 1TBx10 SSDs per PC, complemented by a Seagate Exos x20 HDD backup shelf offering approximately 900TB per system. The backup server will have the same SSD and HDD configuration. For RAM, each PC will feature Crucial 4TB DDR5 ECC modules in dual configuration. Networking will be handled by NVIDIA Spectrum Ethernet Switches and Mellanox ConnectX NICs, delivering up to 400 Gbps. Power will come from dual 5000W industrial-grade supplies by SuperMicro, supported by a 10,000W industrial-grade UPS from APC. Additionally, each CPU will have 50 IBM tape drives for final backups. To house these components, you've opted for custom-made Corsair server racks." The middle-aged man wiped sweat from his forehead, exhausted from merely listing the specifications of one computer.

"That's correct. That's only AMD. I also ordered Intel. Alright, just tell me if the CPU is Intel Xeon Platinum 8490H with a dual socket, right?" Jack asked as he wanted to make sure there are 60 cores and 120 threads on each CPU.

"Yes sir, as I mentioned before, I've only failed to get the cables you mentioned; everything else is fine," the middle-aged man said.

"Alright, how much time would you need to complete this setup?" Jack asked as the setup was pretty big.

"Sir, The components that were used in this setup are sensitive, and it will take some time for us to set up the whole thing, the middle-aged man said.

"Alright, I'll give you today; I don't want any excuses." Jack waved his hand as the middle-aged man wanted to talk more.

"I'll go and buy desks and chairs and AC; the apartment is empty because it's new." Jack saying this left with the butler, and while his car was driving from the gate of the apartment, he gestured with his eye to the gate security who was working hard.

The security guard reassured Jack with a smile and a nod of his head.

Jack left to get a desk, chair, and AC; as he looked through the window of the car, he saw rain pouring down on the Arabian Sea; from afar, he saw it was coming towards him; Jack smiled at such a scene.

*RING-RING*

Jack's phone rang. Jack, seeing it was an unknown number, received the call because nowadays everyone was new to him.

"Hello sir, I am the manager of the building you own in Manhattan." A man's voice came in.

"Crown Building?" Jack asked.

"Exactly, I wanted to congratulate you and let you know that every floor is full and demand is as usual high, but the thing is BVLGARI needs a new contract, as you're the sole owner of the property; only your signature will allow them to..." As the manager babbled on, Jack was getting frustrated; he got the gist.

"Okay, shut up and listen," Jack said.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
