Reborn America, this is my time

Chapter 58 I'm Really Pragmatic!
Perhaps because they want to participate in the San Francisco Electronics Fair in September, MOS has shown extremely high efficiency in the establishment of new companies.Chuck Paido had a telephone conversation with Ethan Jones about the establishment of the company on July [-]th. On July [-]th, MOS sent a working group to San Francisco to select a location for the new company.

Since this company will be engaged in the production and operation of chips in California, when they were formed, their primary goal was to find a factory that could support chip production, as well as a warehouse for storing materials and products.

Ethan Jones originally thought that the process of finding a factory building would be very long. After all, chip production involves cutting-edge technology, and the requirements for the production environment must be very high.

But the working group of MOS company wandered around in the future Silicon Valley for a few days, and then called Ethan Jones to tell Ethan Jones that they had already found a suitable factory in Mountain View. At the same time, they also wanted to invite Ethan Jones The second boss of this company went to have a look.

Such news made Ethan Jones a little surprised. Of course, he also admitted that MOS company did give him a lot of respect, and he was very happy about this.And when he arrived at the location mentioned by the other party, he saw a factory area covering an area of ​​about two acres. This was originally the location of a calculator company, but since the oil crisis, the production cost has soared. They moved the company from California to Baja California.

Since the previous company produced TTL, that is, triodes, their requirements for the factory area are relatively high. Although it has been dusty for a long time and has not been used, Ethan just went in and turned around, and it was already full of dust when he came out. But at the same time, Ethan Jones also admitted that it would be much better to clean up the place carefully than to open a new factory.

"How much is it here?" Ethan Jones asked.

"It's very cheap, $20." The leader of the MOS working group is a middle-aged man.

Wearing a suit, he was stomping his feet constantly, trying to shake off all the black ash on his trouser legs in this way.

"According to the area of ​​this factory building, how many production lines can we put in?" Ethan Jones with his hands on his back looked like a supervisor.

"If Platinum Elmer's technology kit is used, four production lines can be placed here." The team leader returned without looking at the information.

Platinum Elmer is an instrument company in Massachusetts. He invented the first projection aligner in [-]. When making a CPU, it can directly project the mask image onto it without touching the wafer. Let the CPU yield soar from [-]% to [-]% using Kodak technology, which greatly reduces the production cost of CPU.

Of course, the great improvement in efficiency means that the purchase price of the equipment is very expensive.

"So the company plans to buy four sets at once?" Ethan asked, "Is 200 million enough?"

This question made the team leader laugh and said, "Chuck and the others said that this is not a question of money, but a question of face."

"Mr. Jones, who has no interest in MOS 6502, can help the company remove legal obstacles for the popularization of computers. In this case, the company does not let go of production. After the news spreads, the entire technology circle will laugh at us. "

"Therefore, we have communicated with Wells Fargo Bank. After the company successfully registers to purchase equipment, we will use the ordered new equipment as a mortgage to lay four production lines here."

"Mr. Jones, all you have to do is wait."

'crack bang bang~'

Ethan Jones clapped his hands, he liked the feeling of throwing his hands away.

because……

The feeling of waiting to collect money is really great!

At the same time, he was also curious about the name of this new company.

After he asked this question, the team leader in charge of forming the new company laughed and said, "Mr. Jones, our company's board of directors thinks that this company came into existence because of you, so the company's naming rights should be given to you. you."

'Is it so happy? '

Ethan Jones was a little surprised.

But after the surprise, he also embraced the privilege.

"Then Chuck Peddle, Chuck Peddle inc."

Such words made the team leader's eyes brighten, "Do you use the name of the chip patentee as the company name?"

"That's a good idea."

"I don't think anyone would say no to leaving a name in history."

Yes, Ethan Jones thought so!
The world should remember those who change the world!

…………

After confirming the address of the new company, the next thing actually has nothing to do with Ethan Jones.

Company registration, purchase of factory buildings, ordering of equipment, and bank loans are all handled by someone, and the only thing Ethan Jones has to do is to sign his name on various articles of association.

In order to protect his own rights and interests, he also asked Uncle Thomas Johnson to find himself a lawyer to review the documents.

As for why not turn to Stanford?
Very simple!
How can you kill a chicken with a butcher's knife!
Perhaps because the power of money is strong enough, Chuck Peddle inc. was successfully registered by MOS in less than a week, and got the Federal Tax ID (federal tax ID number) and Sales Tax Permit (sales license).

In terms of patent registration, they also adopted the method of provisional application, first filing for production, and then formally applying for it later.

And by the end of July, the production line they ordered also arrived.

On August [-], the assembly was completed and test production began.

When this fact appeared, Ethan Jones felt like he was walking on clouds!

MOS 6502 is the only chip in the history of chips that has sold one billion pieces!
What is the 20.00% gain?
Even if one earns one dollar, he can pick up two hundred million for nothing!
Although this benefit needs to be reflected slowly over time, it is not important, right?

Because this thing is much safer than any federal pension!

"Damn it! I'm 20 years old and I'm already living the life of 60 years old?"

"This day is too special and comfortable!"

Looking at the share contract in his hand, Ethan Jones suddenly felt that the pragmatic spirit of working three hours a day and occasionally working overtime into the afternoon is actually very easy to learn!

For example, now, as long as he, Ethan Jones, wakes up at [-]:[-] every morning and rests at [-]:[-] noon, he can achieve all this!
And just when Ethan Jones was about to have a happy experience of retirement-like life, on the morning of August [-]rd, he was woken up by a loud shout, which was the voice of Aunt Linda——

"Ethan!!!"

"Don't sleep!!!"

"Someone looking for you!!!"

The sudden call almost knocked Ethan Jones half to death.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, with his head like a bird's nest, he walked down the stairs carelessly, dragging his children along.

"Linda, what's wrong?"

He looked at his aunt in a daze, not understanding the situation.

Linda, who was tidying up the house, waved her hand, pointed to the door and said, "Someone is looking for you, go and see for yourself."

Such words made Ethan Jones walk out with a yawn.

Just when he was thinking about who was so wicked and called him up early in the morning, the guy who was hanging more than him at the door woke up Ethan, "MFxxk! Steve, why are you here?"

That's right, it was Steve Jobs.
