Rebirth of America, this is my time

Since all the parties involved had run away, Ethan naturally would not stay at Steve Jobs's house. He stepped on the accelerator, drove to Los Angeles, and sent a commemorative album signed by Akira Kurosawa to Steve Jobs's father.

Because during previous phone calls, Spielberg told Ethan that he had left Los Angeles a month ago and was filming locations in various locations in North America. So he could only express his gratitude on the phone first. Of course, the excitement could travel thousands of miles and engulf Ethan.

After maintaining the relationship between Xiao Qiao and Xiao Si, Ethan also returned to the company he had been away from for a long time.

I put away all the small gifts I brought from my notebook, and the employees who saw their boss again after three months also smiled happily; I simply communicated with them and cared about where they went during the celebration and what they did during their workdays. Whether he was busy or not, he returned to his office with the label of being friendly to the people.

And coming in with him were the two supervisors who were reporting on the work.

The first person to speak was Administrative Director Julis Noble. Because Ethan had asked her to keep an eye on her peers, when she spoke, she eloquently reported on the situation in the North American gaming industry in the past three months.

Mi Luohua acquired two more game companies in August.

Because those two companies have not produced any big-selling works before and are not well-known in the industry, we did not find out the specific situation.

Then, Intel announced a month and a half ago that Milohua purchased a large number of chips from them, with the estimated transaction amount being around US$10 million.

Oh - these people are really - Mi Luohua's behavior made Ethan shake his head.

There are obviously cheap chips that they don't need, but they insist on using Intel's expensive chips. What do you think they are thinking? Ethan got the advantage and behaved, his tone full of lightness.

With his wave, financial director Aaron Massey also took out the sales report and reported the company's operating status to his boss, Since the official release of Pac-Man in April, in the past five months, Pac-Man has been The total North American arcade sales of Pac-Man have exceeded 9,000 units, reaching 9,483, which is only 34,000 US dollars short of revenue exceeding 19 million.

At the same time, we currently have orders for 360 units that have not yet been delivered, and there will be an average of 60 to 80 additional bookings every day. If nothing unexpected happens, Pac-Man will be available for up to one month. The total sales of arcade machines will exceed 10,000 units.

The production cost incurred during this period was 6.49 million, and the sales and administrative expenses were 630,000. This includes external gifts, that is, the batch of electronic arcade machines given to Stanford. After deducting these costs After expenses, the company’s net profit has reached US$1,184,600.”

Damn it!

This number made Ethan’s eyes light up!

He has always known that video games can make money quickly, but when the speed of independent production appeared, he was still a little surprised!

Net profit of 10 million in half a year?

Which industry can match this speed of grabbing money?

very good!

Ethan smiled and clapped his hands, Thank you for your hard work. Allen, go and copy the bonus model of HP next door, and we will issue year-end bonuses directly according to their top standards!

The decision left Aaron Massey and Julis Noble beaming.

Because they have worked hard all year for this!

Especially since their two bosses have been absent from the company all year round, they have to handle all kinds of trivial matters carefully, which seems to give them a lot of power, but also makes them very tired.

While the two of them smiled and thanked each other, Ethan also discovered a problem.

That is the company's production supervisor, Damio Dean, who is not here today.

Although he will be stationed in the factory for a long time after his job change, the boss is back today!

He had obviously greeted the company in advance, why didn't this guy come to meet him?

Is the shelf so big?

Thinking of this, Ethan asked doubtfully: Where is Damio?

Is the factory too busy? So he needs to be stationed all day? Ethan joked, If this is the case, I will definitely award him a trophy for the top five employees at the end of the year.

However, as soon as Ethan's joke appeared, the two people standing there stopped their joy at the same time.

Not only that, they also looked at each other instinctively.

This situation made Ethan a little confused and said: What's wrong?

I see you are in a bit of trouble?

Did something happen at the factory?

The continuous questions made Julis Noble purse her lips.

She wanted to speak, but was a little confused.

This performance made Ethan directly set his sights on Allen Massie, Aaron, tell me.

Your father has cooperated with our family for so many years. You should have heard our family's principles of dealing with things. As long as someone does not deliberately cause trouble, the Johnson family can accept and understand it and will not punish it.

That's Thomas' way of doing things, Ethan said.

Because fruit is a very fragile product, it often suffers losses during cultivation and transportation.

Therefore, Thomas set up some regulations for these two points. If the workers follow the instructions normally, Thomas will bear any losses on his own and will not hold them responsible.

After Ethan carried Thomas out, Alan Massey laughed helplessly. He sighed and said, Ethan, it's not really a big deal. There were some minor accidents at the factory. Dammy. O. Dean thought there were problems with several workers, so he replaced them...

With Alan Massey's narration, Ethan gradually figured things out.

The person who caused the accident was the hippie he had previously proposed to recruit.

Although those guys were very well-behaved during the recruitment process, and they were very honest when they needed a stable income in the first few months of work, but time is the best way to show human nature.

After Ethan left the company, some hippies showed up. In fact, they have always retained their original habit. Whenever the factory pays wages, they will use their salary to buy Coke.

Since everyone in the United States now knows that the Game of Destiny is controlled by Stanford, they in California did not risk their lives by blowing smoke inside the factory.

Instead, after get off work, when leaving the factory, you can taste it alone or gather together to share a meal.

For this kind of thing, the three directors of Destiny Game think it is harmless.

After all, those who have received higher education know that it is difficult to quit after becoming addicted to some things. As long as those guys don't cause trouble honestly, those who enjoy cheap labor must accept these things. There is no way. Everything has a price.

But the problem is, just because these ‘smart people’ don’t cause trouble, it doesn’t mean that others don’t.

After word spread that two or three people were smoking, the dealers who understood the factory's payroll habits would thoughtfully deliver goods to their doorsteps on the factory's payroll day and try to sell their products to others.

And when this happens...

Damio Dean, who was in charge of production, felt it was not possible.

Although those dealers only come one day a week and don't even show up for more than fifteen minutes because they are afraid of getting into trouble, but selling goods to people who don't smoke is a bit excessive no matter how you look at it. So Damio tried to drive them away, Len Massey said.

At this point, Julis Noble also picked up——

But no matter how Damio negotiated with them, the dealers ignored him. Instead, they smiled and called the cigarette buyers brothers, saying that they were here to pick up their friends from get off work.

They don't confront us, Massey said.

But they won't leave either. Julis Noble was helpless.

After many consecutive negotiations to no avail, Damio had no choice but to tell us that he wanted to fire those guys who were still fuming and recruit new people, said Allen Massey.

We agreed. Julis Noble nodded: Then the trouble came.

Although we compensated those guys in accordance with federal law, they felt our actions were still illegal and said they never caused harm to the company.

They said that they had never blown smoke inside the factory, nor had they instigated other workers to blow smoke. They also communicated with the traffickers and asked them not to come, but the traffickers ignored them. They were innocent. They felt that we They cannot be fired and they ask Damio to give them their jobs back.

Damio refused.

Then they came to the factory every now and then to protest.

She seemed to feel that her description was a bit serious, but also seemed to feel that her description was inappropriate. When she said this, Julis Noble paused for a moment, and then changed her words: It can't be said to be a protest, they every Every time I came to the factory, I was blocked at the door, trying to find Damio and get a solution from him.”

In order to ensure the normal operation of the factory, Damio sleeps there every day now.

Once those people came, he would call the police.

‘…’

After listening to the narration, Ethan frowned!

He didn't understand why he didn't know about this!

When did it happen? Ethan asked in a deep voice.

Now that everything has been said, the two of them will not hide anything.

Almost two weeks ago, Julis Noble answered.

Why didn't you tell me? Ethan continued to ask.

Because Damio feels that so far, things are still under control. Aaron Massey said: Production in the factory has not been interrupted, and the company's transportation is also normal.

They didn't even come to our place.

Aaron Massey pointed to the ground beneath his feet.

He was referring to the office complex at Stanford Industrial Park.

MFxxk!

If the matter doesn't get serious, then it's controllable?

Ethan almost laughed out loud at this theory.

In his opinion, this kind of trouble that has occurred and is continuing is uncontrollable!

Special code, these hippies attracted drug dealers?

Those drug dealers still want to sell drugs to more people?

Damn it!

He absolutely cannot accept this kind of thing!

yes! He was taking advantage of the hippies, so he used them! And he turned a blind eye to things like flying smoke. After all, this stuff is so common in America. In the next few decades, the San Francisco government will even openly provide syringes to drug addicts and teach them the appropriate amount. fly!

But there are many ordinary people in his factory!

For example, the drivers of the team, they are all old people who have worked with Thomas for decades, and have been honest farmers all their lives. So far, they are here to help, and in this case, if they are contaminated If it goes up, then the families of these honest people will basically be ruined!

These people came here with good intentions for Thomas’ sake!

Then Ethan has to ensure that these people can go back intact!

Thinking of this, Ethan was furious.

Has anyone been infected? he asked, suppressing his anger.

No. The two shook their heads decisively, Damio was staring at it.

This result made Ethan relieved.

But the next second he said again: Come to the factory with me. I want to see what he thinks!

Such a decision also made the two of them shut their mouths. At the same time, Alan Massey also took the initiative to donate his Volvo and drove his colleagues and boss to Miabida, where the factory is located.

However, just when Ethan controlled his emotions and kept telling himself not to solve this matter with anger, he heard the sound of police cars roaring as soon as he entered the territory of Miabida.

This situation made him frown.

And after Aaron Massey stepped on the accelerator and drove him to the factory...

That scene made Ethan's eyes darken even more!

Because there were five police cars parked in front of the factory;

Twelve police officers with pistols raised;

A bunch of people huddled at the entrance of the factory, looking at the outside world;

Seven or eight people lined up in a row and were pressed into the car by police officers, both black and white...

There will be more in the evening
