What was said
"And so I finally wrote a letter to Morris, and so I wrote a long letter and sent it to him. Didn't hear anything for a long time, and then one day it was kind of around maybe 6:00 or so, maybe 6:30 or so. This person calls and says, "Uh, this is Morris Chang from TSMC.""
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang recalls that his mid-1990s calls to TSMC’s US office went unanswered. He says he wrote directly to founder Morris Chang and later received a call back that led to a Taiwan invitation and an early partnership.
