Rebirth of America, this is my time

When Ethan told Hiroshi Yamauchi that he was moved by his sincerity and decided to accept his invitation to go to the book for an inspection, the 49-year-old third-generation head of Nintendo suddenly smiled like a flower and was excited. He bowed to salute, but under Ethan's obstruction, he finally opened his arms like the Romans and gave Ethan a big hug to express his gratitude.

Since this is going abroad, Ethan still has two things to do before leaving.

The first thing is to apply for a passport. This thing is simple. Whether Ethan finds someone by himself or Hiroshi Yamauchi helps him find someone, it takes only a matter of minutes.

The second thing is to hire a translator. Although Yamauchi's English is good and he can communicate with Ethan normally, after going to Benzi, he can't let Yamauchi be the translator, right? The head of Nintendo is willing to talk but he’s not willing to listen! Because when there is a language barrier, no one knows whether the other person is talking nonsense!

And this matter...

It's actually not that simple in the United States.

Don't ask, asking means cultural confidence.

Of course, if you spend money, you can still find it. After about four days, Evelin found a professor at Brandeis University for a month's overseas business trip and a salary of 55,000. The teacher of the Japanese course is a middle-aged man in his fifties. He used to be a business translator for Ford Motor Company in Japan. He returned to the United States because of his marriage.

Although Ethan doesn't know what his Japanese proficiency is, considering that Ford hired him for five years, there shouldn't be much problem with his ability.

After making all preparations, Ethan and Evelyn flew back to Los Angeles from Boston on July 18, 1976, and took a night's rest. The next day, they took Hiroshi Yamauchi's charter flight to Tokyo.

As they set off, Milohua let out a sigh of relief after hearing the news.

Sure enough, after hearing about MOS 6502, Hiroshi Yamauchi will definitely try his best to get this chip. His persistence... is really worth learning from!

The old man's words made the fat and thin people nod their heads.

After sighing, the old man urged: Since Ethan has left North America, it proves that their company will not release new games for the time being. We must seize this precious time to reacquire other game companies on the market! At the same time, Let the people in the R\u0026D department speed up research and development. If there are not enough people, recruit them directly! And let the people in the purchasing department go directly to Intel to buy chips!

Time is precious, okay?

We have failed twice, we cannot fail again this time!

Understand?

Of course! The fat and thin people responded quickly.

While Milohua was reacting, Nolan Bushnell also heard the news of Ethan's departure from Warner. As for the authenticity of the news...

Everyone thinks it’s true!

Because that code was the message Spielberg yelled when he answered the phone on set! At that moment, almost everyone heard, Spielberg asked Ethan to help get two signed photos of Akira Kurosawa!

Although Nolan Bushnell didn't know why Ethan was running the notebook, he knew that this was an opportunity, so he called his subordinates and shouted: Quick, quick, quick! Contact Intel to buy chips!

First come fifty thousand...

No! One hundred thousand first!

One hundred thousand 8080!

Attention! Make sure to keep the price below thirty!

Also! Let Intel keep our business practices confidential!

Two sudden orders left Intel confused.

At this moment, Intel's founder and CEO Gordon Moore couldn't figure out why his company suddenly received a purchase order of 200,000 8080s?

Although he has always been very confident in his own chips, he has to admit that the most popular chip on the market now is the 6502. However, after he saw the two buyers, Mi Luohua and Atari...

He knew what was going on.

I guess these two families were driven crazy by that Ethan Jones?

if it is like this……

Then this money came as a surprise. Gordon Moore murmured.

The money delivered to your door is nothing if you don’t make it.

Gordon Moore happily accepted the orders from Milover and Atari.

Of course, since the client requested confidentiality...

Then he will naturally respect the other party's request!

After all, two hundred thousand 8080s can bring them six million in operating income!

But without publicity, that is impossible.

MOS's chips are selling so well. If Intel doesn't speed up, won't they explode?

So, after Gordon Moore thought for a while, he said to his subordinates: Let the news out, let it be said that Milohua has purchased hundreds of thousands of chips from us, and the revenue is expected to be nearly 10 million.

That's right!

Atari asked them to keep it secret, but Milohua didn't!

In this case...

Mi Luohua, just take the blame!

While Intel's production line was running wildly, after a twelve-hour flight, Ethan finally arrived in Tokyo on July 21, 1976, East 9th District time.

In fact, when the plane was about to arrive in Tokyo, Ethan had already taken off his blindfold and looked down at Japan's largest city through the window of the plane. The densely packed buildings looked like a spider web, but more like a turtle's back. From Tokyo The seaside of the bay began to spread inward, occupying almost all the land visible to the naked eye.

On the sea of ​​Tokyo Bay, countless ships are shuttled back and forth. They are like running worker ants, working hard for the needs of the group.

Because Evelin was sleeping next to Ethan, Ethan's overlooking behavior immediately woke her up, and when she opened her confused eyes and wondered what Ethan was doing, she followed the trend and looked at him. She also saw the world below her. Her eyes widened and she asked in surprise: This is a city?

Yeah. Ethan nodded with emotion, Tokyo.

The most populous city in the world, there are probably...

The population of Tokyo city reached 10 million a few years ago, and the entire Tokyo metropolitan area now has 25 million people.

When Ethan and Evelin were talking, Hiroshi Yamauchi, who heard the voice, also turned his attention to the outside world.

Overlooking the small land, his face was full of emotion, Maybe it's because the population is too dense. All businesses are easy to do here.

When this sentence appeared, Ethan still had some impression that business was easy. After all, no one in the world was more experienced than him in talking about total volume.

But Evelin had no idea about all this.

But when they boarded the Toyota commercial vehicle sent by Nintendo and followed Hiroshi Yamauchi deep into the city of Tokyo, they saw the traffic jams on the capillary roads, the numerous figures on the overpasses, and the narrow houses on the main roads that Benzi likes to use. The design fully embodies the concept of dense crowds.

While waiting for Hiroshi Yamauchi to order the driver to drive the car to Akihabara, the electrical appliance city in Tokyo, Ethan and Evelin intuitively felt what the entertainment atmosphere brought about by the dense crowds was like.

Although Akihabara in this era did not have as strong an otaku culture as later generations, the neon flashing advertising signs were very conspicuous, and the Nintendo logo of a green snake swallowing an apple could be seen everywhere.

Standing at the intersection and looking left and right, no matter which direction, as long as you can see it, there is an arcade machine like Snake. And the students after class and the social workers after get off work are in front of the video game arcade. The largest group that stops and consumes.

Sometimes they clenched the joystick tightly, their faces twitching in an attempt to gain success;

Sometimes he waves his hand unluckily and declares his failure angrily;

Sometimes coins are thrown in again in an attempt to hit a higher score;

Sometimes he looks up to the sky and sighs, seeming to complain that the game is too difficult.

When these scenarios arise…

Every time you blink, you can see money falling!

With every breath you take, you can hear the sound of money flowing!

Ethan admitted that although he had been a human being for two lifetimes, he had seen too many amazing things.

but……

The feeling of printing money in front of me is indeed not comparable to North America!

If it weren't for the exchange rate issue, Ethan would even feel that such a densely populated country is the real paradise that nourishes video games!

Because when there are more people, it’s easier to create an atmosphere!

Once the atmosphere gets high, it's easy for people to get carried away!

Is this the effect of selling 30 million yuan in half a year? Looking at everything in front of her, Evelin murmured: This is even more exaggerated than the prevalence in our country...

As she said that, she also turned to look at Ethan.

At the same time, Ethan also happened to look at her.

In this confrontation, both of them saw one fact in each other's eyes——

This trip is indeed worthwhile!

Compared with the cold dollar bills, the market in front of us makes people want to own them even more!

If possible, Ethan would even want to kill Yamauchi at this moment!

acting?

Give me a der!

I'm Ethan Jones -

Complete! All! want! ah!
