Rebirth of America, this is my era

Chapter 85 Flower Q!

Three days later, Skokie, Illinois.

It’s still the same office, and the same three people.

Two subordinates, one fat and one thin, stood in front of the desk, watching each other intently. Behind the desk, the old man leaned on the chair, his left arm resting on the armrest, and his right index finger tapped on the mahogany table top from time to time.

The disorderly tapping sounds were like a woodpecker hiding food, which made people's scalps tingle. But even so, the two people standing there still had no intention of moving, because they had already read the newspaper placed in front of the old man before coming in.

"Is this what you call a sure win?"

The white-haired old man picked up the newspaper, looked at the subheading on the front page, and read it out in a calm tone:

"The inventor of Snake Game founded a company, and the patent owner of Odyssey joined it."

The old man pursed his lips, frowned, and looked at the two people with eyes like sharp swords.

When they didn't respond, he became furious.

"MFxxk!!!!"

“Is this the sure win you guys are talking about???”

"Crash!" He threw the newspaper in his hand away fiercely.

But unfortunately, the newspaper just passed over the desk, flew in the air for a while, and then fell to the ground.

The scattered appearance was like a smiling face, laughing at his stupidity.

This scene made the old man stand up suddenly. He picked up the cup on the table and threw it at the subordinate in front of him.

"Clap!"

The scalding tea and broken ceramics instantly exploded under their feet.

“You two sons of bitches!!!”

"Is this your final explanation to me???"

"What did you tell me before? Ethan Jones infringed on our rights! As long as we sue him, we will win! But what about now? What's the situation now? Tell me! Why did Ralph Bell join his company?"

"Do you know what this means???"

"ah???--"

"This means that he, Ethan Jones, is out of our control!!!"

"Our monopoly on video games is gone!!!"

The roar was like a violent storm, making the two people standing there feel very wronged.

Because they feel that this matter has nothing to do with them.

When they decided to sue Ethan, they wanted to prove to the board of directors and the parent company's senior management that it was not their management of the company that had problems, or that they could not find talent in the company, but that Ethan had exploited loopholes and used illegal means to achieve success.

Although they may have had some ulterior motives in choosing the content of the lawsuit, and the patents used in the lawsuit are no different from using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito, no, it's no different from using an atomic bomb to kill a mosquito, but the final result is good, right?

You know, when Ethan chose to settle after receiving the indictment and took the initiative to compensate 1.5 million, the doubts of the board of directors and the parent company disappeared immediately! And when Atari, which was also involved in the lawsuit, also settled with them and compensated 800,000, the directors on the board of directors and the American leaders of the parent company praised their work! They said they were very successful!

When this result came out, their litigation plan was considered a complete success!
As for the current situation...

They don’t know either!
They were also shocked when they saw the Los Angeles Times this morning!

Because no one expected that Ethan, who had previously taken the initiative to propose reconciliation, would actually ransack their house?

This matter seems a bit outrageous no matter how you look at it!
Of course, although they were filled with shock, they couldn't show it.

The two men moved their heads slightly and exchanged secret messages. Finally, the fat man who had proposed to sue Ethan with video games and training devices last time stood up and said cautiously: "Boss, this matter...may...be...some...misunderstanding?"

"Oh Fxxk! I think you look like a misunderstanding!"

His words made the old man even angrier.

He slammed the table and quickly jumped in front of his subordinate. Then he grabbed his tie with one hand and tapped his chest with the other, venting his inner anger crazily, "MFxxK! I had already talked to Sanders on the phone before I called you two!"

"They told me it was Ralph Bell's personal decision and they had no right to interfere!"

"Do you know what this means?"

"This means Ralph Bell is supporting Ethan Jones!"

"He's not happy about us suing Ethan Jones!"

"He chose to take matters into his own hands so that Ethan Jones could continue to make TV games!"

The old man's frantic poking of his fingers caused the fat man's chest to ache terribly.

But at this moment, he didn't care about the pain in his body at all, because the news that Boss brought him was even more shocking.

Ralph Bell took the initiative to support Ethan Jones?

What is this?
Although they all knew that Ralph Baer was very dissatisfied with their crazy rights protection of Milova, because he only wanted to collect a small amount of patent fees to leave a living space for electronic game practitioners, there was no reason not to do a profitable business, right?
And they don’t charge much, right?
An arcade machine only costs eighty to one hundred dollars, and a circuit board only costs thirty to forty dollars.

Game makers can definitely afford this standard!
At most you'll earn a little less.

Why wouldn't Ralph Bell allow it?
Of course, although they had some complaints in their hearts, they did not dare to openly question Ralph Bell, because they knew that in the United States, a country known for its strong science and technology, scientists' decisions are sometimes more effective than laws.

This is not to say that they are above the law, but that the law sometimes has to take into account their emotions.

Take Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb, for example. Even though he touched upon the realm of ideology and was accused of being a Tongliao culprit by the guy who died of acute hepatitis, the final result of the court was that there was insufficient evidence and no charges were filed.

No one dared to give him a real label.

After all, when Oppenheimer was prosecuted, Einstein criticized him in three consecutive issues of the New York Times. When the hearing was actually held, the scientific community in the United States was shocked!
When all the bigwigs who could influence the development of the United States gave up their posts, the Donkey and the Elephant parties, knowing that the situation was not good, found an opportunity and took advantage of the time when the troublemaker provoked the U.S. Army to suppress him directly.

Because if the commotion continues, then no one in the world will be immune to Liao!
Of course, after these things have passed, dissatisfaction and targeting of scientists still exist, but most of the time, they will keep things underground, and no one will be stupid enough to vent their dissatisfaction.

Therefore, even if they were unhappy with Ralph Bell, they could only think of countermeasures in their minds.

but--

Special code!
The more I think about it, the angrier I get!
"MFxxk! Why did Ralph Bell choose Ethan Jones?"

"Why!"

"Why would he join Ethan Jones' company!"

The old man couldn’t figure it out!

This kind of help made him feel sick!

They finally put the blame on Ethan, but just a month later, Ethan stripped them of their pants?

what is this?
This is too much!
Just when the fat and thin subordinate thought that his boss might be angry here all day, the phone on the desk suddenly rang.

The ding-dong sound made the old man instinctively pick it up.

"Hello!" His tone was very bad.

But in the next second, the resentful face tightened instantly, and the old skin became even harder.

"Put it in," he said.

Before he finished speaking, he was already regulating his breathing.

After a few seconds, a bright smile appeared on his face again.

"Yeah~Boss~Hello~It's me~"

"Oh Boss, please listen to my explanation. Things are not what you think..."

"No, No, No, we are aware of this matter and are investigating the cause..."

"...Okay, okay, okay...I'll book a flight now...I'll come right over..."

When the old man hung up the phone weakly, a sense of gloom arose, making him clench his hands.

He wants to vent!
but……

In the end, I held it back.

He looked deeply at his two subordinates and used a calm tone to hide his tired body.

"Let's put the Ethan Jones matter aside for now. I have to go to New York."

"You guys go take care of other things first, and I'll deal with the rest when I come back."

Such words made the fat and thin men shudder.

Because the headquarters of their parent company Philips is in New York.

If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected will happen to their leader.

Following the old man out of the office, the fat and thin men sighed as they looked at the desolate figure.

"What's going on with Ethan? Why was he able to invite Ralph Bell?" The fat man couldn't figure it out.

"I don't know!" The thin man shook his head helplessly.

"I always feel that this matter is very strange!" He spread his hands, confused about the situation.

But the one who is even more confused than them is actually Nolan Bushnell.

When he saw the front-page report of the Los Angeles Times early in the morning, he felt extremely uncomfortable as if he had taken an ointment!
"Ralph Bell joins Ethan Jones' firm?"

"Oh! Fxxk! Ethan! How dare you trick me!"

But before he could finish his roar, the office door was knocked open.

After letting him in, a heavy news appeared before him.

"Nolan, Warner Bros. wants to ask if you have time. They want you to go to Los Angeles."

"..."

"Damn!"

Nolan Bushnell kicked the chair hard, picked up his suit from the sofa, and walked out of the office angrily.

Don Valentine was just as angry as he was.

After selling Atari to Warner Bros., he sold out all his shares, so at this moment, he is at home.

After seeing the latest issue of the Los Angeles Times, he bent the spoon he was using to eat oatmeal!
"Great, Ethan, you're great..."

He kept nodding his head, repeating his praise for Ethan, and when the veins on the back of his hand bulged like a beard, he pushed the table in front of him hard.

"Ethan!!! Fxxk You!!!"
