Reborn America, this is my time

Chapter 25 Atari

When Ethan Jones discovered that Atari might be his best partner, he couldn't hold back the smile on his face anymore. At the same time, he also felt that he had guessed the real identity of Steve Jobs. intention.

"Steve, your boss didn't just want you to see the situation here when he asked you to come here?"

Ethan Jones leaned back and said with a smile: "Or, you also want to try your luck? After all, there are many engineers who make games now."

"Hmm~" Steve Jobs smiled, his pupils shone with shrewdness, "Maybe."

He shrugged and said, "I just said that when I came here today, Nolan told me that we should work hard to identify various products in the market and try our best to ensure Atari's market position."

Ethan, who understands, nodded, did not speak, and looked at him with a smile on his face.

In such a situation, Steve Jobs also maintained a formulaic smile.

After a while, Ethan took the initiative to put away his pressing posture and said, "But I believe that if you return to the company with an excellent game, your boss Nolan Bushnell should be very happy."

"Yeah~" Ethan's initiative made Steve Jobs admit, "I think so too."

At the same time, he continued: "So, we reached a consensus? I found you at the exhibition, and you..."

Jobs drew out his voice.

Ethan gave two thumbs up, "And I brought the game and came to Atari with you who is full of sincerity."

"As for the rest, I don't know what you said, I only know what I already know."

"Hahahaha~" Ethan's quickness made Steve Jobs extend his right hand, "Have a nice cooperation."

"Happy cooperation." Ethan's face was also full of joy, and he shook hands with him firmly.

Now that Ethan Jones and Steve Jobs have reached a consensus, the next thing they have to do is to move the "Snake Game" machine from San Francisco to Atari.

When Ethan left, Mr. Forbele was full of confusion.

At first, Ethan thought that this guy was worried that Steve Jobs was not serious.

But when he said that he had already talked with Steve Jobs and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with this guy, Mr. Ferberle's response almost made Ethan feel bad.

"Huh? I was just thinking, after you leave, no one will help me see the booth."

"I just met a baby angel, and I want to talk to her more!"

"goodbye!"

Ethan glared at him fiercely.

"No! Never see you again!"

Ethan pulled the car door hard.

He kicked the gas, and then followed Steve Jobs' motorcycle back to Los Gatos.

That's right, Atari's current office is Los Gatos.

It was only a few miles away from Thomas Johnson's villa where Ethan lived.

It is for this reason that Mirowa has been criticizing Ethan Jones internally.

No way, who made him and Atari so close?

The way home is always so cordial. After Ethan Jones and Steve Jobs stepped into the gate of Atari's factory, the tens of acres of land is a symbol of strength, and the production team in full swing. It is the embodiment of busy business.

"All that is produced here are old machines."

Steve Jobs put it simply: "The arcades here don't have... huh?"

"I know, I know, I know."

Ethan nodded, expressing his understanding that the machines here have no copyright.

Talking to smart people is easy. Under the leadership of Steve Jobs, Ethan quickly took a tour of Atari's factory, although the production method with the sky as the top and the ground as the home is somewhat grassroots. feeling, but...

It doesn't matter right?

Ethan is here to talk about cooperation, not to buy this company!

After a brief detour, Ethan also followed Steve Jobs into the office area.

Ethan thought that he would have to wait a while before seeing Nolan Bushnell, after all, the other party is now a big hit, but he didn't expect that Steve Jobs, who was walking in front of him, was just like going home. It's like entering a no-man's land, without saying hello or knocking on the door, just pushing away the obstacles in front of you one by one.

Especially when he pushed open the door of the general manager's office, he shouted: "Hey! Nolan! What are you doing?"

Ethan was amazed by such a wild style.

And Nolan Bushnell's response is even more different from ordinary people.

"Oh! Steve! You're back!"

The burly man with a beard stood up straight away and gave Steve Jobs a big bear hug, "Looking at your excited appearance, you should have successfully completed the task? Oh... this is... "

"Answers you might need." Steve Jobs winked at Nolan Bushnell.

In the next second, Nolan Bushnelton, who got what he meant, enthusiastically extended his right hand to Ethan.

"Oh sir, I'm Nolan Bushnell and you're..."

According to social etiquette, Nolan Bushnell should be asking Ethan what to call him at this moment.

But when the middle-aged man focused his gaze on Ethan's face, countless ridges suddenly appeared on his forehead.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Ethan, and then asked in an unbelievable tone: "Sir, excuse me, have we met before? Why do I feel that you look familiar?"

This question made Ethan Jones smile slightly, stretched out his right hand, shook hands with him, then nodded and said: "Yes, Mr. Bushnell, three years ago, Burlingame, I was the one who received you. "

"Oh My God!!!"

When Ethan reminded him like this, Nolan Bushnel immediately remembered everything!
Because at the beginning, Mi Luohua's Odyssey press conference was held there!
"Damn? Why did you come to my place?"

Although the words were dirty, Nolan Bushnell's face was filled with a happy smile, "Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, but... To be honest, brother, I always remember your name, yes Ethan...Jones, right?"

Nolan Bushnell's tone was a little hesitant, but his face was full of expectation.

"Yeah~" Ethan Jones nodded with a smile, and said, "Mr. Bushnell, it seems that your memory is very good!"

"Wow~ so you guys know each other?"

The words of the two surprised Steve Jobs a little. At the same time, he also found some clues from the conversation between Ethan and Bushnell, "Ethan Jones?... Could it be that you are..." Steve Jobs Jobs couldn't believe it.

"Haha~ You guessed it right~"

Ethan didn't hide either, he shrugged and said, "I'm the guy who was fired by Mirov."

"Because I sent Mr. Bushnell an invitation to the Odyssey."

'! ! ! '

At this moment, Steve Jobs finally understood why Ethan Jones looked at him in shock when they met before!
As the 'hero' who caused the birth of Atari directly, after being kicked out by Mi Luohua, he was regarded as a treasure by the people of Atari. This kind of fate is really surprising!

Ethan Jones, of course, is noncommittal about the idea of ​​Steve Jobs.

After all, he couldn't tell Steve Jobs - 'I was really shocked by your presence'?

That's too gay!
Now that everyone 'knows' and the lawsuit between Mirov and Atari has come to an end, the communication between the two parties has become much easier.When Nolan Bushnell learned that Ethan Jones started his own game after leaving Mirowa, he smiled and expressed encouragement; and when he knew, at today's exhibition, Steve After Steve Jobs fell in love with Ethan's game at a glance, he was even more curious about that game.

So, he walked out of the office area in twos and threes, and tested "Snake" in his own factory.

There is a jingle and the coin falls into the box.

When the little snake on the screen grew stronger again and again, but could not escape the fate of death, Nolan Bushnell also gave a very high evaluation of this idea——

"This will definitely become an epoch-making game!"

"absolute!"

"This is so much more fun than Pong!"

"No! It's more fun than all the games on the market!"

"Ethan, are you selling?"

Nolan Bushnell was holding the joystick, staring at Ethan with red eyes.

Looking at the panting figure, Ethan shook his head and said, "Mr. Bushnell, I don't think what you said was sincere, right?"

'? ? ? '

This remark made Nolan Bushnell stunned.

In the next second, he instinctively looked towards Steve Jobs.

And Steve Jobs shook his head decisively, saying that I have nothing to do with this matter.

This attitude made Nolan Bushnell laugh, stood up straight, and clapped his hands.

"Okay, Ethan, since you know the specific situation, I'll call my partner directly."

"Just a moment, please, because we're going to sit down and have a good talk."
