Reborn America, this is my time

Chapter 33 The Barbaric Age!

Ethan was really interested in what Steve Jobs said.

Because he didn't know how Atari ruled the entire North America in the era of underdeveloped logistics.

You know, when Mirov sued Atari, the sales volume of "Pong" approved by the court was only 8000 units.

Wanting to be popular in North America with this number, no matter what era it is, is a bit of a dream.

But after he ran with Steve Jobs' team...

He was shocked immediately!

Because Steve Jobs took out two bags directly from the car after collecting the merchant's fee.

One of the bags contained game circuit boards, and the other bag contained three iron plates and a pile of spray paint.

After replacing the circuit board, Steve Jobs started his own show operation.

He first took out the white spray paint, and evenly sprayed the machine in front of him with a replaced motherboard white.

Then he copied out two iron plates, one in the shape of a snake and the other in the shape of an apple.

Attach them to the top of the machine and paint directly with green and red spray paint.

Then, a "Snake Game" header was sprayed under the pattern.

And the snake's two eyes...

He painted it directly with a marker pen!

Finally, Steve Jobs took out a bottle of deodorizing cleaner and sprayed it on the machine.

After three or two strokes, the machine smelled like apples.

Tell the truth!After this operation, Ethan was stunned on the spot!
There is no skill at all, all special codes are emotions!

"No... no... is this how you changed the game motherboard?" Ethan's tongue was fighting in surprise.

"Yeah! What's the problem?" Steve Jobs said with a smile: "Why do we charge thirty dollars for the circuit board replacement service? It's because it's a hassle!"

"..."

Ethan was speechless at what Steve Jobs had said.

But at the same time, he still has a question: "But... the machine you just replaced doesn't seem to belong to Atari?"

That's right!If Ethan read it right just now, the racing game console that Steve Jobs just replaced was marked with the logo of another company!

And his inquiry received a reasonable answer.

"Yeah, that's why I like riding motorcycles!"

Steve Jobs smiled and raised his eyebrows at Ethan. He quickly put away all the crime tools, and then ran with a bag.

He also shouted: "Hurry up! Although the boss who buys the game doesn't care who owns the machine, as long as it can make money, those companies that sell the machine care! We can't be caught by those guys, or we will be beaten La!"

"???"

"WTF!!!"

Looking at the figure that was getting further and further away, Ethan cursed directly.

He never thought that selling a game by himself would be able to sell him a feeling of love?

He's clearly doing legitimate business!
Why is Atari acting like a den of bandits!

Special code!
It's outrageous!
…………

Although Ethan feels that Atari's way of selling goods is not very similar to the regular army, but at the same time he also admits that in the barbaric era, this kind of wild way is really easy to use. When the logistics industry in America was not highly integrated by the Internet, Xiao Kuai The clever way can indeed enable a company to gain a huge market share in a short period of time.

Although friends and merchants will suffer because of this, it is not important at all, right?

Because only dead friend merchants are good friend merchants!
As for saying that friends can do the same...

Before, Mi Luohua did not file a lawsuit, and the whole industry was copying time. They can indeed emulate Atari's operation.

But not now.

As Steve Jobs said, regardless of whether it is the owner of a bar, a dance hall or a bowling alley, they actually don't care which company produces their arcade machines, they only care about money!A steady stream of Mane!
As long as you can make money, I don't care if you are Atari or Mirov, that has nothing to do with me!
Therefore, unless the friends can come up with excellent games, they don't want those bosses to change their phones!

Driven by this demand, the door-to-door replacement business is simply as gentle as an angel!

After taking Ethan for a walk and satisfying the curiosity of this outsider, Steve Jobs also had a serious talk with Ethan, "Ethan, what do you think of the business of door-to-door replacement of the motherboard?"

"It's exciting, what's the matter?" After running away again, Ethan said while panting heavily, "It's possible to be beaten every moment, this life is really interesting!"

"Then can you do me a favor?"

"You said."

"In the next time, please take me out to change the motherboard."

'? ? ? '

Ethan was a little puzzled by Steve Jobs's proposal, but soon, the other party told him why.

"Ethan, you may have discovered that our circuit board replacement service is very suitable for cross-state sales, because it takes at most 10 minutes to replace a motherboard for a machine, and it can be done in 10 minutes with spray painting. There are only a few machines at most, and it is no problem to run a small city or even a big city in one day."

"It is precisely because this service is very efficient that Nolan and the others don't allow ordinary employees like us to participate."

"Because every time we travel, we can carry at least 100 yuan of circuit boards."

"The cost of a single circuit board is 150 US dollars, 100 yuan is [-] US dollars, and after selling it, you can get [-] US dollars."

"This number is a huge sum of money."

"Nolan and the others are worried, so they play in person every time."

Ethan understood what Jobs meant.

In the era of underdeveloped communications, how for companies to allow employees to safely collect funds is indeed a difficult problem.

In the absence of effective means of restraint, it is impossible to make business by relying solely on the morality of employees.

The companies that sell are either selling high-volume consumer products or mentioning huge high-value products. No company can safely let employees sell those high-value but low-volume items.

One is that employees are afraid that they will run away directly, and the other is that employees will report losses indiscriminately and ignorantly take advantage of the company's interests.

After all, even in the Internet age, there will be zero-yuan purchases.

In business and business, in the face of absolute interests, only those who can get more benefits can curb their greed.

"So, this is the real purpose of you pulling me here?" Ethan looked at Jobs with a smile.

"Yeah~" the long-haired hippie nodded and said, "Nolan said before that out of the thirty dollars for board replacement service, only nine dollars are the cost of materials, and the remaining twenty-one dollars are bonuses."

"In the past, a team consisted of three people, that is to say, for every circuit board sold, the seller could get seven dollars."

"I want the money, so..."

Jobs rubbed his hands together, expressing his desire very frankly.

Ethan asked curiously, "Do you need a lot of money?"

"Yeah~" Jobs nodded sincerely, "If possible, I want to earn this money."

"I need it, my parents need it, and my little idea needs it."

Ethan stared at him for a while, and when Jobs was a little uneasy, Ethan finally laughed.

He patted Jobs on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Yes."

"Anyway, I have nothing to do at home when I'm idle."

"If you really need me, I would be very honored."

"Because my family taught me that the best satisfaction is the satisfaction of others."

"Oh!—Yes!!!"

Jobs was very happy, opened his arms and gave Ethan a big hug.

"Thank you! Thank you! My friend!"
