英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋周四上午宣布辞职,这场旷日持久的“黄仁勋大戏”在悬念中戛然而止。我们恐怕还得等上一阵子,才能等到编剧们为这出惊悚剧构思出下一集的剧情。眼下,疑问远多于答案:周日董事会还表示对黄仁勋充满信心,到周三晚间黄仁勋辞职(英伟达今日在证券备案文件中披露),这中间到底发生了什么?
Jensen Huang’s long-running Nvidia drama ended on a cliffhanger with the news of the CEO’s resignation Thursday morning. We’re going to have to wait a while for the scriptwriters to figure out the next installment of this thriller. At the moment, we’ve got far more questions than answers: What happened between Sunday, when the board said it had confidence in Huang, and Wednesday night when Huang quit (as Nvidia revealed in a securities filing today)?
特朗普政府在其离职中扮演了什么角色?敏锐的新闻观察者或许已经注意到,关于周三晚间召开、讨论黄仁勋去留的董事会会议的诸多报道,至少部分是由平时不报道英伟达事务的白宫记者撰写的。白宫是否在向媒体泄密、施压逼迫黄仁勋离职?答案终将浮出水面。
What role did the Trump administration play in his departure? Astute watchers of the news media might have noticed that many of the numerous stories about the Wednesday night board meeting called to consider Huang’s future were at least partly written by Washington correspondents not normally reporting on Nvidia’s doings. Was the White House leaking stuff to pressure Huang to go? The answers will eventually come out, to be sure.
