Rebirth of America, this is my time

[The producer of Snake Game comes out with a new work! Pac-Man detonates North American colleges and universities! 】

[The greatest work in the history of video games has been born! Yellow Pac-Man wins praise from countless 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 future of video games!]

[Ralph Bell said: Ethan Jones proved to me that the circuit board era is dead, and video games will develop in a more refined direction. I am very grateful for this because I witnessed his arrival with my own eyes.]

After the Pac-Man press conference, in just two days, promotional articles related to it spread throughout America, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times, the three major newspapers in North America. Every daily newspaper reported on the game Pac-Man. The wording was so wild and beautiful that everyone who saw it was dumbfounded.

At a certain moment, people who bought these three major newspapers even wondered whether Ethan Jones, the producer of Snake Game, had paid these newspapers at the same time? Otherwise, why would these newspapers be praising his new work Pac-Man?

Regarding this point, Ethan Jones just wanted to say that he had recharged, but not completely.

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

As for not charging, it was because Principal Fred Terman, who had already seen the game display, felt that those California tabloids were too lazy and it was too slow to use them to convey the news, so he personally came forward to report the news to the three major newspapers. The editor came.

When those guys who play with pens collect money to be invited to attend the press conference and witness the miracle with their own eyes, they will start to brag like crazy, especially when the attendees are all big names in the field. This report, That would be better to write.

To be honest, at the beginning of the interview, Ethan felt that these scenes were a bit excessive.

but……

Cough cough cough…

However, with his strength here, it’s hard for him to keep a low profile!

After all, America does not pursue the compromise mentioned by Mr. Zhou Shuren. Angsa’s value is pragmatism!

Therefore, Ethan reluctantly pretended to be a little beep.

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

Hehehe~

Of course, as it became famous, Destiny Games also received a snowflake of orders.

Although the new product launch conference was held on Sunday and the reports in the three major North American newspapers appeared on Wednesday, the company's fax machines were already busy when they got off work on Friday because they had received six in just two days. More than ten orders, a total of one thousand machines need to be delivered.

That's right!

Within two days, Destiny Games had sold a thousand arcade machines!

The reason why there is such a high-end ordering method like fax is simply because the people who place orders are all from North American universities with special codes! When those universities learned that the concept of artificial intelligence that had been proposed for twenty years was actually interpreted in the field of civilian games, almost everyone called to verify the facts and waited for the industry leaders who had attended the press conference to talk to them. After confirming one by one...

Placing an order is a must.

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

Upon hearing that these guys wanted to order machines, 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 a waste of time to queue up to use it. Therefore, a minimum order of ten machines can alleviate the teaching pressure.

Furthermore, 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, nothing can be researched with this money, but now, twenty thousand dollars It allows those students who can only read books to have access to the latest cutting-edge inspiration! It allows students to get more excellent ideas! So... you just want to buy it or not?

purchase?

Okay! Place the order!

What? Just the circuit board?

Oh! Sxxt! Your special number is Harvard! Can't you get even 20,000 US dollars? Are you embarrassed?

You still want a circuit board? I'm telling you no!

As long as I, Fred Terman, am at Stanford, our business can't sell circuit boards!

Destiny Games is our star company! You can't trample on our school's support projects so wantonly!

That's it, I've decided for you. You, Harvard, will get twenty units! I will only give fifteen units to MIT!

I'll help you piss them off!

Bye!

This kind of promotion was an eye-opener for Ethan!

He is worthy of being the man who poached Harvard on the Harvard campus!

This is too ridiculous!

And the price jump from 1,200 US dollars to 2,000 US dollars, as well as the declaration not to sell circuit boards, made Ethan so grateful to the old principal that he directly waved his hand and decided to donate 20 units to Stanford. Pac-Man arcade for them to... study?

Well, Ethan actually thinks that when the game comes out, there may be more people addicted to it.

However, Ethan has no intention of taking care of these things for the time being, because when large-volume orders appear, 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, and then recruit people for local promotion. During the process of local promotion, we will also hire factory employees for production, so that inventory can be kept to a minimum.

There was no way. Who made him think at the time that no matter how awesome Pac-Man was, it would still take a while for it to become popular?

But when Stanford granted him the Memorial Chapel and President Fred Terman decided to participate, Ethan smelled something called something unusual, so he immediately ordered Damio Dean to quickly purchase the factory and hire Workers produce ahead of schedule.

So, ten days ago, they took over an abandoned electronics factory covering two acres in Sunnyvale for $100,000.

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

Like Nolan Bushnell, Ethan also provides jobs for idle people in society. He chooses the hippies who need social assistance. Therefore, in terms of expenses, they receive a certain amount of humanistic care. A single person’s weekly salary For one hundred dollars, each person only needs to build ten arcade machines for him within five days and eight hours. If the efficiency improves, he will give an extra fifteen dollars in bonus for each additional machine produced.

Well, to be honest, it's just cheap and easy to use.

As for materials...

That's even simpler.

Chuck Pado Company can cover all of Ethan's chip needs, and Ethan purchased the consumables for making circuit boards from the San Francisco Electronic Supply Company. Yes, at this time, Ethan thought of the long-awaited Dear Mr. Ferber.

And when Mr. Ferber drove his car to Stanford, he was full of anger!

Because Ethan didn't invite him to the Pac-Man new product launch conference!

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 conference was a technical exchange, so it was not easy to invite him. Then he promised that he would give him a Pac-Man arcade machine and let him play it slowly in the store. The extremely vigilant Mr. Ferber snorted a few times and did not care about Ethan. .

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 smile and nod——

Okay, okay, okay, I'll do it next time, I'll do it next time.

The production problem is easy to solve, but the transportation problem is very troublesome, because the electronic arcade machine is very valuable and cannot be easily transported.

And when Ethan was worried, Thomas took the initiative to help.

Ethan, there are seventy-six regular workers in our orchard, twenty-seven of them have been working with me for ten years.

These people all have families and children, so you can rest assured about their character.

“Also, these twenty-seven people all have experience driving trucks because they help me deliver navel oranges to the dock every year.”

So, if you are short of manpower there, they can help you deliver.

However, you have to pay them a normal salary. For example, when I asked them to help me transport goods before, the subsidy for each person per day was ten dollars, and it was based on the total distance traveled. If you can Accept this, then I can tell them.”

If you still feel that you don't have enough manpower, I can also help you borrow people. Do you remember those uncles and uncles from before? They are the people I brought home to drink after the Snake Game became a hit. Some of their subordinates have also done it. Many of the employees who have been working for more than ten years can drive trucks. Let me go and tell them that if a family has more than a dozen people, it will take three days, and it will be no problem to build a fleet of 100 people for you.

Ouch!

This is really like having someone give you a pillow when you feel sleepy!

Oh Thomas, I love you-

Ethan smiled and hugged Thomas, We don't need to borrow anyone for the time being. The twenty or so people in our family are enough for the time being.

The salary is no problem, I won't miss them!

I will give them whatever standards you give them!

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

Ethan's concern made Thomas wave his hand and said: Don't worry about Orchard, I can recruit some more people to help, temporarily.

Then we should pay for this money. Ethan quickly expressed his position.

Thomas smiled and shook his head, saying, Oh Ethan, I can still afford these wages!

Your company hasn't withdrawn its funds yet, so don't increase your expenses!

You guys do a good job, so that I can brag about it to my friends when I go out drinking!

I hope I can introduce myself as this - I, Thomas Johnson, raised one of the richest men in the world!

Hahaha--

At this point, Thomas himself was so happy that he slapped the table with a smile.

And Ethan couldn't stop the smile on his face and kept shaking his head: Don't worry, Thomas, this day will come.

When the time comes, you can tell others that the richest man in the world was raised by you.

Hahahahaha—— Thomas laughed even louder.

Dong dong dong! He fisted his fingers and knocked on the table.

Tears were still shining in his eyes.
