Reborn America, this is my time

Chapter 73 Kick Atari!
After coming out of Sidley Austin, Ethan Jones turned directly to Atari.

Because of the prior communication, when he arrived, he met Nolan Bushnell and Don Valentine who had been waiting for a long time.

Perhaps it was because the plan had been completed, so Nolan Bushnell was smiling, and perhaps it was because of the strict implementation of the plan, so Don Valentine was still putting on a bad face at this moment.

The guy even snorted when Nolan Bushnell poured water on Ethan Jones.

"Oh Ethan, don't worry about him."

Nolan Bushnell waved his hand, signaling Ethan Jones not to care.

And Ethan Jones shook his head again and again, his face full of shame, "Oh Nolan, what right do I have to say these things now?"

"I have already consulted a lawyer, and my "Snake Game" seems to be really infringing."

'! '

As soon as the words came out, Nolan Bushnell's eyes lit up, but the next second he took the initiative to restrain himself, not wanting to show his joy.

At the same time, Don Valentine also took advantage of the situation and began to sneer——

"Ha! I have already consulted a lawyer, and my "Snake Game" seems to be really infringing!"

Don Valentine first imitated Ethan Jones' tone and repeated his words.

Then he directly raised his voice and shouted in a condescending tone: "Ethan Jones! How many days did we give you? Four days? Or five days? It took you so long to find out in the patent Did you misunderstand the word?"

"Oh! You are really amazing! I even want to praise you, you are finally literate!"

The merciless words made Nolan Bushnell frown slightly.

And just when he wanted to interrupt, Don Valentine's mouth was faster than his thoughts.

"Since none of this is a misunderstanding, shouldn't you give us an accurate answer?"

"Are you ready to take on your responsibilities like a man, or do you want to procrastinate like a baby?"

"If it's the former, I, Don Valentine, will admire you very much, because you dare to act!"

"And if it's the latter, then I, Don Valentine, can only say sorry to you at the end!"

"Because our lawyer has already drawn up the indictment! We can sue tomorrow!"

"Don't worry, we only have three requests in total, and it's not as exaggerated as you think!"

Hearing a muffled "bang", Don Valentine dropped a document on the coffee table in front of Ethan Jones.

Pick it up and take a look, the above appeal is really extremely simple.

Atari asked Ethan Jones to bear the $100 million in damages claimed by Mirowa. At the same time, Ethan Jones also had to conceal the fact of patent infringement for himself and the early termination of the contract of "Snake Game" due to legal proceedings Compensation for Atari's corresponding losses.

In the former, Atari demanded compensation of 100 million from Ethan Jones, and in the latter, Atari demanded compensation of 300 million from Ethan Jones.

To be honest, when Ethan Jones found out that Atari wanted to bear the 500 million compensation, he almost cried!

You know, the net income of "Snake Game" is not even 500 million!
These people can obviously grab it directly, but they insist on cooperating and pretending to fool themselves. This is really touching!

And after reading the terms, Ethan Jones' face was full of shock, "500 million dollars? Oh, I can't accept this price! Because even if "Snake Game" sells for a year, it can't make money. Up to 500 million US dollars!"

"I thought we were here to break up peacefully, but you—"

"Aha? Break up peacefully? Oh Ethan! Why are you so naive!" Before Ethan Jones finished speaking, Don Valentine said loudly: "You broke the law unilaterally! You put We Atari have brought us into the abyss! In this situation, you still want to break up peacefully?"

"Then you might as well kill us and turn yourself in!"

"Go and tell the judge—'I'm not guilty!'"

"Dxxn!" Hearing this, Nolan Bushnell finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Don! Shut your beak!" He glared at Don Valentine and yelled, "We're sitting here today to solve problems! If you don't want to solve them, get out of here." go out!"

'? ? ? '

Nolan Bushnell's roar made Don Valentine frown.

He didn't know why his companion suddenly became angry.

But when he caught the eagerness in Nolan Bushnell's eyes, he woke up instantly!

The special thing here is the country of freedom, where there are more people than guns!

If Ethan Jones did what he said and rammed them with a gun from his waist, it would be the end of it all!
Thinking of this, Don Valentine immediately shut up.

But in terms of momentum, he refused to lose.

Lean back with arms folded.

That spontaneous gangster appearance almost engraved 'I live in San Lodo, ​​a five-star good citizen' on his head!

Along with his silence, Nolan Bushnell breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning his attention to Ethan Jones again, Nolan Bushnell also lowered his voice after seeing his complexion, and said in a calm tone: "Ethan, you may think that the compensation of 500 million is a bit much, but this The numbers are actually calculated precisely."

"First of all, it is the 100 million compensation claimed by Mi Luohua. This compensation is fixed, because this is not what we asked for."

"Secondly, it is 100 million for concealing patent infringement. This is calculated based on the licensing fee of [-] US dollars for a machine. If you think this price is too high, then you can go out and ask other companies, and ask those who are being misunderstood. The company that Luo Hua sued, they will tell you that the patent fee that Mi Luo Hua asks for starts at [-]% of the selling price of each unit."

"In the end, it was 300 million for the early termination of the contract. This figure... In fact, we at Atari won't get a penny."

Speaking of this, Nolan Bushnell's tone was slightly sad, "The money is mainly for Midway Games and Chicago Coin, because they, like us, were also sued by Mirowa."

"In the indictment they received, Mirowa demanded $150 million in damages from them."

"And the remaining 150 million is for them to obtain patent authorization."

Whoops!
Nolan Bushnell's words almost moved Ethan Jones to tears!
Atari asked him for 500 million in compensation, but he didn't get any money?

What kind of selfless spirit is this!

Had Steve Jobs been there, wouldn't he have bowed down?

Because Nolan Bushnell and Don Valentine are obviously more compassionate than the Buddha who fed an eagle with his body!
"Is that so?" Ethan Jones nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. "If all the money is used for compensation, then I have no problem. Since I made a mistake, I should bear the consequences."

'! '

The corner of Nolan Bushnell's mouth rose upon hearing Ethan Jones' words.

Quietly glanced at Don Valentine, whose tense cheeks were trembling slightly, trying to hide his joy.

The four eyes intersect and the information is transmitted.

Nolan Bushnell, who knew the opportunity came, quickly rubbed his hands, "Oh Ethan! I have to admit! You are definitely the most responsible man I have ever met! You are like that Texas cowboy! You are on horseback Heroes above!"

Hearing the outrageous flattery, Ethan Jones cheered up in his heart, but on the surface, he showed a helpless wry smile.

"Responsibility? Oh Nolan—in our day and age, responsibility is a derogatory term. I also want to support everything like Clark Kent, but...I admit, I can't because I can't afford so much money .”

"Let's not say it's 500 million, even the 100 million claimed by Mi Luohua from me is beyond my ability."

When Ethan Jones fell on the sofa with a sad face, looked up to the sky, and sighed blankly.

The pupils of Nolan Bushnell and Don Valentine, who witnessed all this with their own eyes, overflowed with unspeakable surprises!

Because the current scene is the result they want!

Without further hesitation, he cleared his throat, and Nolan Bushnell sat down beside Ethan Jones directly, and said, "Oh Ethan~ my friend~ please don't be so decadent, because this matter hasn't come yet The point of no return."

"Do you remember that I apologized to you a few days ago? At that time, I said that we atari might not be able to pay you the second phase of "Snake Game" before the whole thing is resolved, but now... "

"We can pay in another way."

"Your dividend in the second phase is 130 million, and we will offset it for you at 150 million. After taking out this sum of money, you only need to raise another 350 million for us."

"Look, as long as you use your brain, you can solve 30.00% of the money problem in an instant!"

"The remaining 350 million yuan shouldn't be a problem for you, right? After all, your uncle's orchard has been in operation for many years, so many years of accumulation... er, I mean, he should have a lot of contacts, right? How about it? Can you solve some problems for me?"

I'm special!

Ethan is angry!

These bastards really don't want Bilian at all!

Want him to scam Thomas and Linda out of their savings?

Although Ethan Jones is clear, this is just a formula.

But that spontaneous anger still made him want to raise his fist and hit him!
However, thinking that these people hadn't revealed their true purpose, Ethan Jones held back again.

"But this is not enough." He said, "Although Thomas has been running a good business these years, his family's savings are not much at all. I told him before that he wanted to start a business, and he said that he could only give me [-]... "

"The money is not enough, right?"

"I want to pay you 350 million, and Mi Luohua another 100 million. There is a gap of 450 million!"

"This is a gap of 45 times!"

"Even if I go to Baja California as a meat ticket, I can't earn so much!"

The decadent words made Nolan Bushnell nod slightly towards Don Valentine.

The two of them knew that the temperature of the water in the pot was almost the same.

"Ethan, Ethan, don't do this."

Nolan Bushnell raised his arm, put it around Ethan's shoulder, and said, "Brother, to be honest, we have a solution to your difficulty, but we have never known how to open it, because this solution is for you It's just too cruel..."

"What? Do you have a solution?" At this moment, Ethan Jones was like a boy who fell into the water, trying to grab the mast that suddenly appeared on the water.

After hearing Nolan Bushnell's words, his face suddenly flashed with joy, and then he said loudly: "Cruel? Is there anything more cruel in this world than carrying a lawsuit and not being paid? "

"Now, as long as you can keep me away from the quagmire, you are saving me!"

"Are you sure?" Nolan Bushnell asked with twinkling eyes.

"Sure!" Ethan Jones nodded vigorously.

While he gave an affirmative answer, Nolan Bushnell also set his sights on Don Valentine.

After receiving the signal from his companion, Don Valentine immediately said: "Ethan, when calculating the claim amount, we have actually found out that you can't afford this astronomical figure. In order to solve this matter and get rid of Mi Luo Hua entangled us, so we thought about some problems from your point of view, and thought about ways to solve things, and then we discovered...your game, "Snake Game."

"Although "Snake Game" is infringing, it is still a good game. In the past few days, we have asked you about the price in the market and got some good feedback. For example, if you are willing to sell If it is, Disney is willing to spend 400 million to buy it."

"In this way, you only need to collect 50 yuan."

"If I remember correctly, the first phase of "Snake Game" has a dividend of 40 yuan?"

"This money should not be a problem for you."

Good guy!
Ethan Jones just wants to shout good guy!
In his previous assumptions, no matter how good people like Don Valentine are at doing things, at most they will lose his second dividend.

But it never occurred to him that these people not only wanted to prostitute his games for free and lose his dividends, but also wanted to get back the profits that had been divided a few months ago, and by the way, charged a market price for the profits Interest?
What is a capitalist!
This kind of special is called a capitalist!

Not only will I peel your skin, drink your blood, and eat your flesh, but I will also put you in debt!

No wonder Evelyn Johnson said he was so kind!The so-called way of doing things is still the most primitive distribution according to work!
Because compared with these guys, he, Ethan Jones, is really innocent!
After carefully looking at Don Valentine for a while, when Ethan Jones found that the future Sequoia Godfather didn't look like he was joking, he let go of his disguise and laughed "goose goose goose".

But his actions made Don Valentine and Nolan Bushnell puzzled.

Nolan Bushnell, still with his arms around Ethan Jones, asked, "What's wrong with you, brother?"

"Oh Nolan, you ask me what's wrong? Can't you see that I'm happy?"

Ethan Jones tilted his head slightly and smiled brightly at Nolan Bushnell.

"Have we known each other for five months? Are you finally willing to tell the truth? This is really not easy!"

"You've been aiming at my game copyright from the very beginning, right?"

"You guys have been playing the marketing game with me for months."

"Wow! This is really embarrassing for you!"

The sudden sarcasm made Nolan Bushnell and Don Valentine's expressions tense.

The corners of the eyes of both of them contracted involuntarily.

"Brother, I don't understand what you mean."

Nolan Bushnell quietly withdrew his arm and opened his arms, trying to show his innocence as much as possible.

But Ethan Jones, who has already heard that Disney is the buyer, does not need to play this kind of boring game with them, and glanced at the two with a playful look, "Don't pretend, I really think I am an idiot ?"

"You have a 'Video Game and Training Device' patent license, I already know."

"I also know that you have used this as a bargaining chip to sell the company as early as April this year."

"You all know that "Snake Game" is infringing!"

"But didn't tell me, let alone avoid it!"

"Because you want to use this as an opportunity to plan my copyright!"

'! ! ! '

When these words appeared, Nolan Bushnelton was surprised.

"Brother! What nonsense are you talking about!" He shouted with a puzzled look on his face: "If we have a patent license, how can Mi Luohua sue us? Are you crazy or are they crazy?"

"I'm not crazy, and they're not crazy, that's why we both received different complaints." Ethan Jones looked at Nolan Bushnell with a smile, and said, "Do you know where I came from just now? ?”

"I'm from San Francisco, from 555 California Street, Room 2000, San Francisco."

"This address should be familiar to you, right?"

"If you can't remember it, I can help you remember it."

With that said, Ethan Jones took out a business card from his pocket and gently placed it on the coffee table.

When the lawyer's business card printed with the words Sidley Austin appeared, the corner of Nolan Bushnell's mouth twitched involuntarily.

But Ethan Jones seemed to have not seen it, and continued on his own: "I just went to Sidley Austin and communicated with Mi Luohua's attorney. I asked them to tell Mi Luohua that Mi Luohua There is no problem with Luo Hua's separate prosecution."

"Although they didn't understand the meaning of my words, they still followed suit. After a phone call, they told me that their client Mi Luohua was very happy and liked the result very much."

That's right!

This is the reason why Ethan Jones chose to communicate with Mi Luohua first!

Because he was going to verify whether the news brought by Steve Jobs was true!If Atari does have the patent authorization of 'video game and training device', then under the hint of Ethan Jones, Mirov will definitely give positive feedback!vice versa!
As for not giving feedback?
That is impossible!

Because at that time, Ethan Jones used this as a bargaining chip to discuss with Mi Luohua about erasing the embargo clause!

When he changed his speech from "is it, is it" to "do it or not", the other party will definitely fall into the trap and give the correct answer!
More importantly, this kind of news that is extremely important to Ethan Jones has no meaning to Mi Luohua. After hearing about the deal of Ethan Jones, they will at most think that Ethan Jones and Ya Dali and the others have already communicated and know everything!And all this is not important to Mi Luohua's top management, because they don't care about patent licensing, they only care about the comfortable position under the buttocks!

And after confirming the fact that Atari does have patent authorization from Mi Luohua...

All the previous speculations have all become facts.

It's --

Angry fact!

"Oh! Sxxt!!!"

Looking at that business card, Nolan Bushnell could no longer wear that mask of hypocrisy.

"Dxxn! Where did you get this news???"

"We didn't tell anyone this news! Which Son of the bitch leaked this news???"

Nolan Bushnell is going crazy!

Because he was sure he hadn't talked about it with any Atari employee!

The only ones in Atari who knew the news were him and Don Valentine!
And outside...

Only Mi Luohua, who gave the authorization, and their target buyers MCA and Disney!

It is impossible for the former Mi Luohua to publicize this matter, because this is what they most want to hide!The latter, Nolan Bushnell did not believe that Ethan Jones could get news from these giants!
While he kept jumping and thinking crazily, the gloomy Don Valentine suddenly said, "It's Vinton Cerf, right?"

'? '

The name had Nolan Bushnell's full attention.

"Don! What do you mean?"

"His sister, Evelyn Johnson."

Don Valentine didn't mean to hide it, staring straight at Ethan Jones, said: "His sister Evelyn Johnson has a good relationship with Stanford Engineering professor Vinton Cerf, and The other party is a senior researcher at the Stanford Research Institute."

When the name Stanford Research Institute appeared, Nolan Bushnell frowned directly!

Because he understood what Don Valentine meant!
The news that they have a 'video game and training device' may have leaked from Disney!
And Disney leaked the news?
"Oh flower Q!" Nolan Bushnell hammered the sofa beside him vigorously, "It really is for entertainment!"

"I can't keep any news!"

Ethan Jones was a little emotional, because he didn't realize until then that he still had a channel to obtain information.

As Don Valentine said, Vinton Cerf is a senior researcher at the Stanford Research Institute, and the Stanford Research Institute has maintained a close cooperative relationship with the Disney Group all year round.

For example, the Disneyland in Anaheim, California, was designed by the Stanford Research Institute.

Later, like the establishment of Disneyland in Orlando, Florida, the Stanford Research Institute also had guidance.

That was a relationship that had been established since Walt Disney's reign, and from every angle, it was more reliable than the Steve Jobs channel.

But it doesn't matter anymore, right?
If it turns out to be right, that's enough.

And now-

'The advantage is mine! '

Looking at the two with dark faces, Ethan Jones laughed, "Did you admit it?"

"Aren't you tired after wearing the mask for so long?"

Nolan Bushnell couldn't laugh anymore when the humiliating words appeared, and Don Valentine... this guy who has been playing the fool all the time, in front of Ethan Jones, picked up brain.

He raised Erlang's legs, adjusted his sitting posture, and a mockery appeared on his face.

"Ethan, what if you know everything?"

"Yes, before signing the contract, we have already obtained the patent authorization of video games and training devices."

"Yes, we knew from the beginning that "Snake Game" was infringing."

"Yes, we have a way to avoid Mi Luohua's prosecution."

"But we didn't."

"Because we wanted to get the copyright of "Snake Game" from the beginning."

Don Valentine told them what they did word by word.

As he narrated, a smug smile rose on the cheeks with the traces of time.

"Ethan, I can tell you everything you want to know now."

"But do these things make sense to you?"

"have nothing left."

"You know too late."

"When you sign the licensing contract, your fate is already sealed."

"You can't keep "Snake Game"."

"You can fight, but your fight will only make me withdraw my last mercy."

Don Valentine laughed at this.

The mouth is slightly open, and under the white teeth is a dark abyss.

"You don't have to sell us the Snake Game."

"We can also deny the second installment dividend payment and increase our own claim amount."

"Go raise money, kid."

"Next we will claim 1000 million from you."

"You can ask Barbara Babcock to ask Edward Williams to fight for you."

"But after Mi Luohua sued, it is impossible for you to win the lawsuit."

"Even if the amount decided by the court is not 1000 million, but only a few million, it doesn't matter, right?"

Don Valentine grinned and said with a sneer—

"We don't care about the money, we just want to see you crying and screaming to find a buyer, begging them to buy your game."

Now that Ethan Jones knows everything, then Don Valentine will tear himself apart!
I can't get the Snake Game?
It's ok!
The same goes for taking money!
More importantly, you, Ethan Jones, don't even think about holding the copyright!

Now that the bureau has been laid out, no matter what happens, the knife's edge will be bloody!

Otherwise, wouldn't Atari be sued by Mi Luohua for nothing?
And just when Don Valentine felt that the matter was a foregone conclusion and there was no possibility of repairing it, Ethan Jones sitting there suddenly leaned forward, put his elbows on his thighs, picked up the cup on the coffee table, and started playing with it. .

"Don, Nolan, have you ever been in prison?"

This question made the already unhappy Don Valentine and Nolan Bushnell frown.

Before they could ask questions, Ethan Jones said again: "It is said that the prisons in our country can only be described as notorious. It is full of torture and abuse, full of cruelty and humiliation, no matter what kind of people go in, They will all suffer inhuman torture. Of course, some people think that there is heaven, and when they get there, it is like returning home, and they even have the opportunity to gain enlightenment."

"I don't know which statement is true, but I'm ready to go and experience it."

'? '

"Ethan, what do you mean?" Nolan Bushnell asked puzzled.

Don Valentine also squinted and cast a puzzled look at Ethan Jones.

"What do I mean?"

Ethan Jones laughed. While shaking the cup in his hand, he looked at the two in front of him.

"You two, have you forgotten something?"

"I, Ethan Jones, used to be an employee of Mirowa, California, and an employee of the marketing department."

"I once wrote an invitation letter to Nolan Bushnell for the new product launch of Mirowa Odyssey, and then received him personally when Nolan Bushnell went to attend the conference."

"This matter has never been publicized by us, because there is a secret between Nolan and me."

"That was two years ago, I told Nolan that the table tennis game is the game with the best response in Mirovari."

'! ! ! '

Nolan Bushnell's pupils constricted.

Don Valentine frowned, with a ferocious face, "Ethan—you!"

"Don't get excited... Commercial espionage is too common in the commercial field, right?"

Ethan Jones shook his eyebrows, put the cup in his hand on the table, and said softly at the same time: "The last time Mirov sued Atari for plagiarism. The outcome of the settlement is very dissatisfied."

"Because what they want most is to strangle Atari."

"Unfortunately, they didn't do it."

"But it doesn't matter, I'll give them a chance now."

"I will tell Mi Luohua that I did help you back then."

"As for the method, it's also very simple. Nolan, don't you also live in Los Gatos? We communicated face to face, right?"

"I know that the act of commercial espionage will subject me to federal prosecution. After being confirmed, I will face up to 15 years in prison and 50 yuan in compensation, but this is not important. Anyway, I will pay 600 million yuan in compensation. It doesn't matter if you pay a little bit, and I can't afford to pay so much money in the first place, so if I stay outside to work and pay off my debts, I might as well just go to jail~"

"As for you, it will be miserable. Atari is worth 2000 million at Disney, and MCA is willing to pay 2000 million for it, but you can't get the money at all, because you have to follow me Let's go to jail together~"

"goose……"

Having said that, Ethan Jones chuckled lightly.

There was madness on that handsome face.

He raised his jaw slightly, looking down at the two of them.

"How about it, Nolan, let's go to prison for dinner together?"

That's right!

Threatening Atari with the crime of commercial espionage is the magic that Ethan Jones thought of!
As a former employee of Mirov, Ethan Jones knows better than anyone else how strong Mirov's desire to kill Atari is!

Because whether it is the middle-level leaders or the company's top management, they want to blame Atari's rise time and time again!
It's a pity that he, Ethan Jones, is too clean!It's so clean that they can't catch the slightest handle!
This fact made Mi Luohua very disappointed.

Before today, Ethan Jones felt that this unwarranted suspicion was really uncomfortable.

But now, Ethan Jones feels that Mirovah's group of leaders who want to take the blame have a good idea!

Now that Nolan Bushnell and Don Valentine have already played a game, trying to kill him to death, so that he can't stand up through legal means, then don't blame him for flipping the table, everyone is done playing together!

Didn't Mi Luohua want to blame him for his adulterous opponent?
you can!

He Ethan Jones took it!
He will take the initiative to admit that he has given Nolan Bushnell Mirovari's business information!

Take the identity of a commercial spy!

Make Nolan Bushnell an accomplice!

Ethan Jones believes that as long as he dares to speak, the group of small-bellied guys in Mi Luohua will dare to hold on to him!

And when the time comes, do you still want to sell Atari?

Dream on you!
Since you don't want me to have a good time and want to trample me to the ground, let's all go to hell together!
"Ethan Jones!!!"

Nolan Bushnell, who wanted to understand, was tearing his eyes.

"You are slandering!!!"

"I didn't hire you to steal Mi Luohua's business information! I'm doing business aboveboard!"

"Who cares?" Ethan Jones spread his hands and said with a smile, "No one cares whether you are in business or not."

"The judge only knows that Mi Luohua filed a lawsuit against us. Mi Luohua accused you of instigating me to steal Mi Luohua's business secrets. I have admitted my crime, and you will be the subject of investigation by the police."

"I know Mirov and Atari, and I will tell the judge that we all deal face to face."

"Because we have a close relationship, when I came out of Mirov, I directly handed over the games I invented to Atari for distribution."

Hearing the light words, Nolan Bushnell's neck veins bulged, and his cheeks were extremely red.

"Ethan Jones—"

Nolan Bushnell yells: "The judge won't believe it!"

Before his words fell, Don Valentine, who looked angry, also said in solidarity: "Ethan! Don't play such little tricks again!"

"It's useless! You can't convict with your own testimony! Not only that, but it will also lead you into a vortex of false accusations!"

"Oh? Really?" Ethan Jones laughed loudly: "It's still the same sentence, who cares?"

And the moment the voice fell, he also changed his face, and said loudly——

"No one cares about that fact!"

"Except you!"

"So what if it's a false accusation?"

"All I want is for you to stand in court!"

"Didn't MCA offer you two million in 2000 for patent licensing?!"

"Didn't Disney also want to buy you who have patent licenses?!"

"But what if you are caught in the vortex of stealing Mirov's business secrets?!"

"Do they still dare to buy?!!!"

"And after you go to court for stealing trade secrets, Atari's normal production will be stopped by the court!"

"As for the reason, I don't think I need to explain it to you again, do I?"

"Mi Luohua will firmly seize this opportunity and destroy your production capacity!"

"Aren't you thinking about the copyright of my "Snake Game"?!!!"

"Can!!!"

"I'm going to make your company impossible to sell!!!"

"You don't want me to live, do you???"

"Then we all die together!!!"

Ethan Jones spread his arms out.

The splashy appearance appeared instantly.

Yes!

Ethan Jones knew that the allegations of stealing trade secrets were flimsy.

But it is not important.

Because Mi Luohua, who seized the opportunity, would punish Atari to death!
They may not have endless hatred for Atari, but they will definitely strangle this little brat like Ethan Jones!
And when Ethan Jones himself turned into a knife and handed it to Mirov, Nolan Bushnell and Don Valentine still wanted to sell the company for a high price?Cash out?Go dreaming!Dreams have it all!

Thinking of this, Don Valentine and Nolan Bushnell clenched their fists.

His lips trembled, and he wanted to roar, but found that he couldn't make a sound.

Shortness of breath, want to desperately, but found himself unable to lift the elbow.

Seeing this, Ethan Jones raised his eyebrows.

With sarcasm written all over his face, he leaned forward slowly.

When he was at the same level as the two, the words of teasing also appeared.

"Nolan, the purchase price of 2000 million in 1000 will allow you to take away [-] million?"

"But now... I'm sorry I can't get it~"

"You!" Nolan Bushnell's eyes burst into flames.

"Tang, I heard that you invested all your savings over the years?"

"Wow~ A 40-year-old man is penniless, how pathetic~"

"Ethan—Jones—" Don Valentine gritted his teeth.

"What? I think you guys seem sad?" Ethan Jones smiled and said, "It's sad, then don't live!"

Such embarrassing words made Don Valentine's facial features twisted into balls.

He closed his eyes and pondered for a while.

When opened again, there are only compromises.

"Okay, I admit defeat, what do you want?"

Whoops!

Ethan Jones loves the look of Don Valentine.

It's not because he doesn't want to hurt the enemy by eight hundred and lose one thousand by himself, but because he wants to see his opponent lose after all the tricks are exhausted.

No way, he's just a layman.

And since the other party chose to compromise, then——

Ethan Jones said: "Give you 48 hours to settle the dividends of "Snake Game" with me."

"Yes." Don Valentine nodded.

"The cooperation with "Snake Game" is hereby terminated."

"no problem."

"You need to bear Mirov's lawsuit against yourself, the distributor and me."

"This is impossible!"

Before Don Valentine could speak, Nolan Bushnell said loudly, "Tripartite compensation will cost 200 million even if it can be negotiated!"

"We can't afford this money!"

"Ethan Jones! Don't take it too far!"

This remark silenced Don Valentine, and he agreed with it.

And Ethan Jones approached Nolan Bushnell, staring straight at him, "Nolan, do you know why I dare to play the commercial espionage card? Because I have a way to convince the judge We're all in one."

"Do you remember, a few weeks ago, we discussed the second phase of dividends?"

"Let me ask you, why is there such a big gap in the sales of "Snake Game" in the midwestern region of the United States and the ZD region of the United States."

"You told me earlier that it was because of the population distribution, right?"

"I didn't raise any objections at the time, but now I want to tell you that I don't believe it."

"Are you willing to take a gamble with me? Bet that the IRS will accept my report."

"I would say to the IRS that Atari rigged the Snake Game sales because Atari wanted to pay less tax and I was able to document the discrepancy."

""Snake Game" has sold more than 700 million in the ZD region of the United States~ and the sales in the Midwest region are not even 350 million~"

"Do you think after the IRS steps in, they'll believe your population distribution theory?"

"Although the IRS will only ask you to pay back taxes when you evade taxes for the first time, it doesn't matter. When you have problems with your taxes, I will take the IRS investigation report to prove to the judge that what I said is true, You instigated me to steal business secrets, and you lied bluntly, do you think the judge believes you or me?"

"Just a word to you, judges are human too."

Ethan Jones winked at Nolan Bushnell.

"Gudong."

In the next second, he heard the sound of swallowing saliva.

Under his gaze, Nolan Bushnell gritted his teeth tightly, word by word slowly popping out from between his teeth——

"Ethan Jones...you are a devil..."

"Goose goose goose goose..." The title made Ethan Jones laugh out loud.

Picking up the documents on the table, he patted Nolan Bushnell's face and said with a smile, "Thank you, I like this title."

Then, he stood up again, squinted, and looked down at the two of them.

"Now, it's your turn to raise money."

"Good luck."
