On December 1, as reported by Bloomberg, Masayoshi Son, the visionary founder of SoftBank Group, revealed on Monday that had SoftBank possessed boundless financial resources to bolster its AI investments, particularly with substantial wagers on OpenAI, he would have refrained from liquidating NVIDIA's shares. Speaking at a forum in Tokyo, Son Zhengyi (Masayoshi Son is also known as Son Zhengyi in Chinese) disclosed that the complete divestment of NVIDIA stocks was necessitated to amass capital for ventures such as the construction of data centers. With candor, he remarked, "I parted with NVIDIA stocks amidst tears."
