Reborn America, this is my time

Chapter 96 Sell it!
[The producer of "Snake Game" has a new work! "Pac-Man" detonated North American colleges and universities! 】

[The greatest work in the history of video games has been born!The yellow Pac-Man has won countless praises from professors! 】

[The era of artificial intelligence has officially arrived! Pac-Man is the perfect application! 】

[The famous Hollywood director Steven Spielberg said: "Ethan Jones is the most creative game producer I have ever seen! When he closes his eyes, what he sees is the tomorrow of video games!"]

[Ralph Bell said: "Ethan Jones proved to me that the era of circuit boards is dead, and video games will develop in the direction of refinement. I am very grateful for this, because I have witnessed his arrival."]

After the "Pac-Man" press conference ended, in just two days, related promotional articles spread throughout America, and the three major North American newspapers, "New York Times", "Washington Post" and "Los Angeles Times", The opposite daily newspapers reported on the game "Pac-Man". The wording was so wild and beautiful that everyone who watched it was stunned.

At a certain moment, the people who bought these three newspapers even wondered whether the producer of "Snake Game", Ethan Jones, paid these newspapers at the same time?Otherwise, why would these newspapers all praise his new work "Pac-Man"?
Regarding this point, Ethan Jones just wanted to say that he was fully charged, but not fully charged.

The reason why he said it was full was because on the day of the "Pac-Man" press conference, he did invite some media to witness it.

As for the lack of charge, it was because Principal Fred Terman, who had already seen the game demonstration, felt that those California tabloids were too stretched, and it was too slow to use them to deliver news, so he personally came forward and sent the three major newspapers The editor is here.

When those pen-playing guys are collecting money to be invited to attend the press conference while witnessing the miracle with their own eyes, the f*cking bragging will appear, especially when the participants are all big names in the field, this report, It would be better to write.

To be honest, at the beginning of the interview, Ethan felt that these ostentations were a little too much.

but……

Cough cough cough...

However, his strength lies here, he can't keep a low profile!
After all, America does not follow the harmony and compromise that Mr. Zhou Shuren said, and Angsa's value is pragmatism!
Therefore, Ethan reluctantly pretended to be a little beep.

Well, it's not worth mentioning that it's just a little fingernail.

hehehe~
Of course, while gaining fame, Destiny Games also received snowflake-like orders.

Although the new product launch event was held on Sunday, and the reports of the three major North American newspapers appeared on Wednesday, the company's fax machines were already down when they got off work on Friday, because they had already received 60 orders in just two days. Multiple orders, a total of [-] machines need to be delivered.

That's right!

In two days, Destiny Games has sold a thousand electronic arcade machines!
And the reason why there is such a high-end ordering method as fax is purely because the orderers, all the special codes are some North American universities!When those colleges and universities learned that the concept of artificial intelligence, which has been proposed for 20 years, has been interpreted in the field of civilian games, almost everyone called to verify the facts, waiting for the industry leaders who participated in the press conference to join them. Once confirmed...

Place an order, it becomes inevitable.

Of course, there are only so many North American universities capable of supporting AI research. In theory, it is impossible for them to obtain a thousand electronic arcade machines. However, when many universities seek proof, they are looking for Frey. Where is Principal De Terman?

Upon hearing that these guys wanted to order the machine, Principal Fred Terman immediately said:
"One electronic arcade machine can only be used by a few students for research and observation at the same time. There are so many students in your school, it is too time-consuming to queue up to use it, so a minimum order of ten sets can relieve the pressure of teaching."

"Moreover, one electronic arcade machine is not expensive, only two thousand dollars, and ten arcade machines are only twenty thousand dollars. In the field of scientific research, this money can't research anything at all, but now, twenty thousand dollars It will allow those students who only know how to read to touch the latest cutting-edge inspiration! It will allow students to obtain more excellent ideas! So...do you just say whether to buy it or not?"

"purchase?"

"OK! Order!"

"What? Just circuit boards?"

"Oh! Sxxt! You specialize in Harvard! Can't you get [-] dollars? Are you ashamed!"

"Still want the circuit board? I tell you no!"

"As long as I, Fred Terman, are at Stanford, there's no way our business will be selling circuit boards!"

"Destiny Game is our star enterprise! You can't trample on our school's support projects like this!"

"That's it, I've decided for you, you Harvard will get [-]! I will only give [-] to MIT!"

"I'll help you piss them off!"

"Bye!"

This kind of promotion really opened Ethan's eyes!

He is indeed the man who poached the corner of Harvard on the Harvard campus!

This is too dangling!
And the price jumped from [-] US dollars to [-] US dollars, and the declaration of not selling circuit boards, made Ethan very grateful to the old principal, and directly waved his hand and decided to donate [-] units to Stanford. The Pac-Man arcade for their... research?
Well, Ethan actually thinks that when the game appears, there may be more guys addicted to it.

However, Ethan is not in the mood to take care of these things for the time being, because when a large-scale order appears, the most important thing he needs to pay attention to is production and distribution. According to Ethan's original plan, the sales of "Pac-Man" should be A step-by-step process, first hold a new product launch conference, then recruit people to carry out local promotion, and purchase factory employees for production at the same time during the ground promotion process, so that inventory can be kept to a minimum.

No way, who made him feel at the time that no matter how awesome "Pac-Man" is, it will take a while for it to become popular?

But when Stanford approved the memorial church for him to use, and President Fred Terman decided to participate, Ethan smelled something unusual, so he immediately ordered Damio Dean to quickly purchase the factory area and hire Workers produce ahead of schedule.

So, ten days ago, they took over an abandoned electronics factory covering an area of ​​two acres in Sunnyvale for a price of one hundred thousand dollars.

Five days ago, thirty circuit board engineers with experience in plate making were recruited.

Like Nolan Bushnell, Ethan also provides jobs for idlers in society, and he chooses the group of hippies who need social assistance, so in terms of expenses, they receive a certain amount of humanistic care, with a single weekly salary For one hundred dollars, each person only needs to make ten arcade machines for him within five days and eight hours, and if the efficiency is improved, he will give him an additional fifteen dollars in bonuses for each additional machine produced.

Well, let's be honest, that's just plain cheap and easy to use.

As for the material...

That's even simpler.

Chuck Pai Duo Company can cover all of Ethan's chip needs, and Ethan purchases the consumables for making circuit boards from San Francisco Electronic Supply Company. Yes, at this time, Ethan remembered the Dear Mr. Faberle.

And when Mr. Forbole came to Stanford in his car, he was very angry!

Because Ethan didn't invite him to the "Pac-Man" new product launch event!
But when Ethan took a marker and drew a Pac-Man on his white T-shirt, signed his name at the same time, and explained that this press conference was a technical exchange, so it was not easy to invite him, Then I promised that I would give him a "Pac-Man" arcade machine and let him play slowly in the store, this very vigilant Mr. Forbele also snorted a few times arrogantly, not fussing with Ethan up.

Of course, what should be emphasized will still be emphasized——

"Ethan! If you don't call me next time, then we won't be friends!"

Such angry words made Ethan nod with a smile——

"Okay, okay, next time, definitely, next time."

The production problem is easy to solve, but the transportation problem is very troublesome, because the electronic arcade machines are of high value and cannot be easily transported.

And when Ethan was worried, Thomas offered to help.

"Ethan, there are 76 permanent workers in our orchard, 27 of whom have been working with me for ten years."

"These people all have families and children. You can rest assured in terms of character."

"Moreover, these 27 people have experience in driving trucks, because they help me deliver navel oranges to the dock every year."

"So, if you're short on staff there, they can deliver it for you."

"However, you have to pay them the normal wages. For example, when I asked them to help me deliver the goods, the subsidy for each person was ten dollars a day, and the total distance was counted. If you can Accept that, then I can talk to them."

"If you still feel that there is not enough manpower, I can help you borrow people. Do you remember those uncles before? They were the people I took home to drink after the "Snake Game" hit the market. Some of their men have also worked. Many of the veteran employees who have been working for more than ten years know how to drive trucks, so let me tell them that if there are more than a dozen people in a family, it will take three days, and it is no problem to gather a team of 100 people for you.”

Whoops!

This is really a pillow when you are sleepy!

"Oh Thomas, I love you—"

Ethan smiled and hugged Thomas, "There is no need to borrow people for the time being, the [-]-odd people in our family are enough for the time being."

"Salary is okay, I will not lose them!"

"Whatever standard you give them, I will give them what standard!"

"But... if you ask them to help me, what about the orchard at home?"

Ethan's concern caused Thomas to wave his hand and said, "Don't worry about the orchard, I can recruit some people to help, temporarily."

"Then we should pay the money." Ethan said quickly.

And Thomas shook his head with a smile, and said, "Oh Ethan, I can still afford these wages!"

"Your company hasn't recovered the funds yet, so don't increase your expenses!"

"You guys do a good job, just let me brag with my friends when I go out to drink in the future!"

"I hope I can introduce myself like this - I, Thomas Johnson, have cultivated a richest man in the world!"

"Hahaha--"

Having said that, Thomas himself was amused, and patted the table with a smile.

And Ethan couldn't stop the smile on his face, he kept shaking his head and said, "Don't worry, Thomas, there will be such a day."

"At that time, you can tell others that the richest man in the world was raised by you with shit and piss."

"Hahahaha——" Thomas laughed even louder.

"Boom, boom, boom!" With five fingers forming a fist, he knocked on the table.

There were still tears in the eyes.
