Reborn America, this is my time

Chapter 31 We are the winners! (Seek to follow up)
In fact, when Steve Jobs said that all arcade machines on the market have uncontrollable timing problems, Ethan Jones already knew that ordering today would be very wild.

Because whether the game is fun is the player's business, and whether the game makes money is the business' business.

Why can the doll machine be popular for 100 years?

Isn't that because the money-making model of this machine is short, flat and fast!
One coin down, up to 30 seconds to end the game.

That kind of controllable pleasure will make merchants feel comfortable.

And the video games of this era don't have precise control of time, even fuzzy control is not enough.

Therefore, when Steve Jobs said that the limit play time of "Snake" is a controllable 90 seconds, the service with the same price and shorter service is for merchants, that is extra money!

From that moment on, Ethan knew that those guys who wanted to make money would definitely buy a machine to test the waters.

And after he looked at the fiery sales scene...

Full of joy, he also came to the stage and gestured to Steve Jobs.

The other party turned off the microphone knowingly.

"The introduction just now was good, and I was very moved when I heard it." Ethan handed him a bottle of unopened mountain spring water.

"Thank you." Jobs took a gulp after taking it.

It's a pity that no matter how clear the mountain spring water is, it can't quench the joy on his face.

"You know, Ethan, I was actually very nervous before I came on stage. Because when I introduced myself, I never thought that there would be so many people here today. At that time, I thought that it would be great if half of the seats could be seated here. Now, although we set the time at ten o'clock, these guys are all in the night entertainment business, so whether they can get up in the morning is a problem."

Jobs said with a smile: "But I don't know why, after I turned on the microphone, I suddenly calmed down. The sound of 'bang bang bang' made me feel that this is my world, although they showed dislike to me at the beginning. I was patient, but I still told them all about it at my own pace."

"Oh~ This shows that you are great~ You are a natural orator~" Ethan put his hands on his back and smiled.

His words, however, caused Steve Jobs to shake his head and say, "Born? No, no, no."

"About today's introduction, I actually wrote the manuscript in advance."

"Really?" Ethan turned his head, surprise flashed in his eyes, "Didn't Nolan mean what you just explained?"

"of course not!"

Jobs raised his voice and shook his head vigorously, "I want to be the keynote speaker myself, so naturally I won't let others write lyrics for me! Everything I said just now was written by myself! I don't know You like it or not, but I like it very much myself!"

"Because I think the most important thing to promote products to customers is to let them understand the selling point of the product. Perhaps for us, the selling point of "Snake Game" is fun, but for our customers, its advantage is that it can Make quick money!"

"You know Ethan? When I was promoting the game with Nolan and the others, what kind of questions do these damn Grandet like to ask? They always like to ask 'Can you make money with this game?', 'How long will it take me to get it back? Capital? 'Dxmn! We sell games! Not gambling!"

"So, when I was preparing today's presentation, I focused on the monetization they care about most, because they don't care if the game is fun! Just want to know if the game will motivate people to play!"

"Hahaha~" Ethan Jones laughed out loud.

Jobs' look full of resentment is really cute.

Of course, Ethan had to admit that this guy really caught the pain point that the bosses were most concerned about, so he raised his hand and patted Jobs on the shoulder, and praised: "Oh Steve, you will definitely be a boss in the future." Very successful product manager."

As soon as the words came out, Ethan felt wrong again.So he quickly changed his words, "No, no, I was wrong, and now you are already."

"Thank you."

Jobs obviously didn't take Ethan's words seriously, he raised the mineral water as a gesture, and didn't intend to go any further.

And just when they wanted to chat again, customers who found themselves unable to squeeze into the office to order came flooding in.

"Steve, it's too slow over there! Can you check me in?"

"I have supported you since "Pong", this time I have to leave a machine for me no matter what!"

"Oh Steve! You know me, don't you? John! I'm John! Owns a pool hall in San Jose! I want two! Give me two!"

"Okay, okay, everyone, please wait a moment, I will register for you right now."

The business has already come to the door, so it is naturally impossible for him to refuse.

At the beginning, they just surrounded Steve Jobs, but at the back, they couldn't wait, and they didn't even let Ethan Jones go.

No way, who made him look more like a staff member?

Faced with the crazy needs of these parents for food and clothing, Ethan naturally tried his best to meet them. At noon, when he sent the last person away, he was already soaked and felt his legs go limp, and there was no drop left.

But when he came to Nolan Bushnell's office, the pile of orders gave him a second spring.

"Three 310s! Three 310s! We sold three 310s in one morning!"

Nolan Bushnell waved the calculator in his hand and said loudly, "200 yuan each! The special code here is 37 yuan! I have never sold so many machines at once in my life!"

"More importantly, these eighty-odd merchants are only concentrated in the San Francisco and San Jose areas!"

"To the north, there is Sacramento! To the south, there are Los Angeles and San Diego! We haven't sold these places yet!"

"Get rich, get rich! This time, I'm really going to get rich!"

Nolan Bushnell threw the calculator in his hand high.

Even if it hits the ground, I don't care.

At the same time, he jumped onto the desk like a Hulk, his hands clenched fists drooping, his neck lifted up and he laughed loudly, "Hahahaha! Even if Mi Luohua sanctioned us, so what?"

"We can still make money!"

"As for the reason..."

Having said that, he stretched out his right hand to Ethan.

Ethan, who was equally happy, stepped on a chair and stood on the table.

As he entered, Nolan Bushnell laughed and shouted—

"Because the idiot Mi Luohua sent Ethan Jones to us!"

"Ethan!—Jones!—"

"He! He is our biggest winner today!"

Nolan grabbed Ethan's wrist and raised it violently.

At this moment, Ethan, who felt the feeling came, also shouted: "We are the winners!!!——"

Such a situation provoked cheers from the scene.

"Wow~~~~"

"yeah!!!"

"We are the winners!—"

In the next second, there was a muffled sound of "Boom!"

It's raining hops in Nolan's office.

Some idiot beeped and opened a bottle of champagne.
