The Taiwan-based distributor reached a preliminary agreement with Ricloud AI on Jan. 15 to lease high-performance computing servers. According to the company, the deal centers on the NVIDIA B300 platform and carries an estimated contract value of $120 million for 300 units. To secure the arrangement, the firm committed to a $3.5 million deposit due within five business days.

Expansion into Regional Infrastructure

In a parallel move, the company signed a separate letter of intent with an undisclosed Indonesian counterparty to secure a 50,000-square-meter land parcel. The site is intended to house a future AI computing and data center hub. This agreement includes an initial $180,000 booking fee to reserve the property while the company conducts further evaluation.

These initiatives represent a sharp departure from the firm’s core whisky distribution business. Management stated the pivot is part of a broader strategic review aimed at high-growth technology sectors. However, the company cautioned that any final entry into the AI market remains subject to due diligence, definitive documentation, and the securing of necessary financing and regulatory approvals.
