Rebirth of America, this is my era

Chapter 134 Walking on Two Legs

"MFxxk?"

"Nolan Bushnell got fired?"

"The top executives of Miluohua were also massacred by Philips?"

"real or fake?"

When Ethan Jones heard Julis Noble's report, he was shocked!

Although he knew that when he changed "Space Invaders" into "Star Wars" and launched it on the market, it was really a severe stab in the aorta for MILO and Atari, but wasn't the direct purge by Warner and Philips a bit exaggerated?

After all, even he himself felt that the failure of New Generation and Apollo had nothing to do with the operations of Atari and MILOVA. It was purely because of -

He is awesome!
hehehe~
He, Ethan Jones, is such an honest and good boy!
"Yes, Warner and Philips have made a major change in the management of Atari and MILO. In addition to the dismissal of the top executives, they have also hired external accountants to audit the accounts."

"Because they suspect that there are problems with the accounts of Atari and MILOVA."

"From the current situation, it seems that Warner and Philips are trying to vent their anger."

“They can’t afford for their new products to be unknown.”

"Atari has announced that its R&D funding for the new generation is as high as 3 million, and Milova has announced that its R&D funding for Apollo is as high as 4.2 million. At the same time, their first batch of production will be 100,000 units each. The total cost of the entire project will not be less than 20 million."

"And that doesn't even include their previous crazy acquisitions of other gaming companies."

"Twenty million?"

This number made Ethan feel a little emotional.

Although he was not sure how much loss his sudden emergence had caused to Atari and Milova, a loss of 20 million for a single project would indeed cause a company to reshuffle its management.

Because no matter how high the inflation is, the US dollar is still valuable in this era.

However, the opponent's reorganization is a good thing for Ethan.

This means he has time to tinker with his home console!

After rummaging in the drawer for a while, he found a pre-written document and pushed it in front of Julis Noble. "Here is a document for recruiting R&D personnel. Take a look at it and then hand it over to Damio Dean. He will be in charge of this matter, and you will assist him."

"You need to pay attention to one thing, that is, our recruitment this time involves two categories..."

Yes, ever since he was scared by the home consoles of Atari and Magnus at the beginning of the year, Ethan had already made a plan for the company's development after the huge success of "Star Wars".

In his opinion, the company's R&D department must be developed in two directions.

The first direction is game production.

When a company is driven by creative content, the more people in the creative department, the better. Although Ethan still has a lot of game ideas in his head, he also has to admit that he will forget a lot of things as he has a human brain. In this case, he should put away his arrogance as a time traveler and face everyone squarely, so as not to be kicked in the ass by the natives here.

As for the second direction, it is the research and development of home consoles.

He had discussed this project with Evelyn, and the girl said she would take charge. Not only that, she also said that this project would not encounter any problems in the development, because their technical consultant was Ralph Bell, and when the master who could make a home console based on a circuit board stood behind them, the birth of their CPU console would only be a matter of time.

However, even if Evelin is very confident, the related recruitment still needs to be started.

As for the personnel, they are naturally Stanford’s own people.
After all, they have an agreement with the school!
After explaining these things clearly, Ethan thought of another question.

"What is the progress of our lawsuit with them?"

Ethan never cared about the lawsuit because he thought it was unimportant.

This kind of dispute over infringement of reputation rights is nothing more than a waste of time.

Julis Noble's report also confirmed his idea. "Our lawyer submitted evidence to the court on time to prove that it was Warner and Philips' Atari and MIRO that launched the public opinion attack on us first. Our counterattack was just a response to their public opinion tsunami." "The whole case is currently in the mediation stage because the San Jose court thinks our testimony is reasonable, but Philips and Warner disagree."

"If nothing unexpected happens, it will only be a matter of time before we stand in the dock."

"Do I need to appear in court?" Ethan asked.

"In principle, it is necessary, but..." Julis Noble shrugged and said, "When the principal came that day, he said that he had already made arrangements for us, and we can have a lawyer represent us in court..."

"He felt that there was no need for us to waste our time in court."

"And Professor Barbara Babcock also said when she called that she felt this was a farce. She had asked her friends in the California court to keep an eye on the case. If anyone messed around... she couldn't guarantee that they would be able to continue doing so in the future..."

"Oh...I like this result." Ethan nodded with a smile.

Since the professor and the principal have repeatedly shown their goodwill, Ethan can no longer stay in his old nest without doing anything.

After returning home that night, he discussed with his sister, and then the two sides made a formal plan for the upcoming summer vacation.

The two will first visit Principal Fred Terman to thank him for his concern and help;

Then they flew directly to Washington to meet with Professor Barbara Babcock, who had lost her summer vacation. While giving her gifts, they were also able to meet the needs of the children of various officials in the U.S. DoD.
Finally, they turned to Arlington, near Washington. If everything was convenient, they would like to visit the world's largest single administrative building with five corners under the guidance of Professor Vinton Cerf...

The planning was quick, but their actions were even quicker.

The next morning, Ethan went to San Jose to buy a gift as his sister requested. That afternoon, he rushed to Stanford and delivered the gift to the old principal.

The old president was very happy about the arrival of the two people and invited them into the house. After chatting for a few minutes, the old president who truly controlled the resources of Stanford University also mentioned the last message.

"Isn't the office space at your headquarters a bit small?"

"Any thoughts on changing?"

"Which building in the industrial park do you like? Just tell me directly."

"If you don't like any of them, that's fine. We at Stanford don't have much but lots of land. Whichever piece of land you like, I'll rent it to you for ninety-nine years for one dollar. No matter what you build, we can accept it. After all, your Destiny Game is our star company at Stanford!"

"With you here, Stanford's future will definitely be better!"

The old principal was really happy.

Now everyone in the circle knows that his school-enterprise co-construction plan has yielded results!

The fact that Destiny Game has been popular for two consecutive years is the best proof!

Regardless of whether it is "Pac-Man" that attracted the attention of the academic community or "Star Wars" that caused a sensation among the North American public, they are all manifestations of the ultimate dream-making ability!
With such a vibrant role model, the school’s promotion of entrepreneurship and employment arrangements in the future will have a lot to talk about!
Changing the venue was indeed a good idea for Ethan and Evelyn. After all, their headquarters now had dozens of people.

He agreed with a smile, saying that he would look at it when he got back. After revealing the matter, the old principal brought up a new topic, and this topic... made Ethan narrow his eyes.

Because, the old principal said: "There is one more thing."

"Your Destiny game company has launched two hit games in a row. It is the hottest company in the gaming industry, and even in our country, in the past two years. So recently, people have been looking for me."

“They’re from Wall Street.”

"You want to learn from me..."

“Do you have any idea of ​​going public?”

The old principal looked at the two of them with a smile.

The eyes behind the lenses sparkled with exploratory curiosity.
