It was the dome discussion that did it for me.
> JD: The dome in Mount Pleasant, the glass orb that Foxconn built, what is inside of it?
> AY: I think there are data center capabilities, including equipment and servers.
> NP: In the dome?
> AY: Oh, you’ve never been there? There are a lot of people who have actually gone through the tour.
> NP: Okay, but what is in the actual glass dome?
> AY: I cannot tell you what it is now, but to the best of my knowledge from back then, it is their data center capabilities. Everything that Foxconn did there on campus inside the dome is pioneering work. As our chairman Young Liu said, we did all this based on business, not politics. If the scale for the data center equipment and some of the work that they would do is pioneering, they probably would not tell you. A lot of that is actually in partnership with some of the biggest names within the data center world and they may not carry the Foxconn label when it becomes commercialized. I can assure you that the dome is needed.
> NP: The dome is needed to do pioneering data center work?
> AY: The dome should have been better and bigger. Okay?
> NP: I agree. If anyone says to me that a dome should be bigger, I always agree with them. That is true.
