Whether NVIDIA (NVIDIA)’s Taiwan headquarters will be stationed in Northco’s T17 and T18 bases has entered the countdown, and Xinshou hopes to discuss it with NVIDIA. Taipei City Deputy Mayor Li Sichuan said today that the city government and NVIDIA are looking at unexposed bases and will make an announcement after NVIDIA confirms it.
NVIDIA's Taiwan headquarters was originally planned to be located in the T17 and T18 bases of Beitou Shilin Science and Technology Park. The media reported yesterday that NVIDIA had agreed to accept the plan to move to T12 instead. When interviewed, Li Sichuan said "there is no such thing" and has not officially expressed it.
Since NVIDIA hopes that the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Taipei City Government will submit a filing before the 24th, Xin Shou will enter the filing stage without mentioning termination conditions. Xin Shou expressed its hope to directly negotiate with NVIDIA.
Li Sichuan said in a joint interview with the media today that they are still going around in circles. When the three parties sat down for talks in the past five months, they have made it clear that in principle NVIDIA hopes that the city government will take back the land. Without mentioning the termination amount, it does not know how to coordinate. And for the same subject matter, NVIDIA cannot pay Xinshou a sum of money, sign a contract with the city government, and pay the city government a sum of money.
The media is paying attention to this case and is exploring the secret base. Li Sichuan said that there is no so-called secret base, and any base that has not been announced is called a secret base. Not only the Beijing Municipal Government, but also a lot of private land has been actively provided to the city government, such as Datong Company. In these situations, the city government will definitely give it to NVIDIA before the 24th after it is compiled.
In addition to media reports that the Bei City Government has registered T12 and Songnan Camp, are there any unexposed bases? Li Sichuan said that the private land on T12 has been integrated and there is no problem. For the Songnan Camp area, if NVIDIA wants two pieces of land, the Taipei City Government will definitely cooperate and work with the central government to let NVIDIA make the choice. "Of course, we will also make preparations for the rest."
Li Sichuan also said, "Let me keep it a little secret, because we are still looking at the land with NVIDIA. If these lands are confirmed, I will make an announcement to the public." The city government still hopes that NVIDIA will stay in Taipei City. Of course, there are other filings for NVIDIA to make a choice. When it is confirmed, the city government will make an announcement.
In addition, the media asked about the construction time originally scheduled for T17 and T18, which is expected to start in May next year. If the registration is adopted, what is the start time? Li Sichuan said that the registered land will be larger than T17 and T18 combined. If the central government can assist, urban planning changes can be faster. All procedures will still be handed over to NVIDIA in the same time as T17 and T18, and in principle, the royalties may be cheaper than T17 and T18.
