Chapter 50 A group of cute people

On the surface, Nolan Bushnell's selling Atari has nothing to do with Ethan Jones, but in fact, the involvement is very big.

For example, when Atari was in the hands of Nolan Bushnell, Ethan Jones could use the method of using the tiger skin to make a big banner to pretend to be a tiger's power in the name of Stanford, but when Atari fell into the arms of Disney or MCA, this trick of bullying would be useless.

Needless to say, Disney in any era is a representative of fierceness.

Under that friendly appearance, there is a bloodthirsty capital giant crocodile.

The latter is actually not a good person. MCA, founded in 1924, is also a current media giant.

Universal, one of the eight largest Hollywood companies, is its subsidiary.

In the face of this fact, Ethan felt that after the cooperation of "Snake Game" expired, he would have to withdraw.

Even if you will still do arcades in the future, you cannot be affiliated with Atari, which is committed to the giants.

Because these guys are all the ones who eat people and don’t spit bones.

What do they know what they will do.

Or, he even had a suspicion that he might not be able to leave after the contract for "Snake Game" expired.

If those guys really bought Atari, it would be impossible to put "Snake Game" in there, right?

No one is a fool, no one can see the value of "Snake Game"!

No matter what happens, he will continue to renew the visa!

"Ouch! Why did this happen suddenly?"

Ethan was a little annoyed.

He was about to play the role of a hunter and stare at 6502, but when he turned around, someone wanted to steal his home?

Of course, despite complaints, Ethan did not forget the serious matters.

After quickly finishing the work at hand, he came to the phone and dialed according to the number given by Woz.

Then, he heard a sweet female voice, which was the staff of the manual transfer station.

After understanding Ethan's needs, it is convenient to transfer his phone to MOS.

The sound of beeping is a long wait, but the callback five or six seconds later sounds the sound of redemption.

"Hello, MOS technology, what can I do to help you?" A low-key male voice drilled into Ethan's ears.

"Is it Mr. Chuck Pido?" Ethan looked at the business card in his hand.

The blue and white piece of paper was written with a brief introduction—

MOS Technical Engineer——Chuck Peddle

Ethan's inquiry received a positive answer from the other side.

"Yes, I'm Chuck, Chuck Pido, who are you?"

"Hello, I'm Steve Wozniak's friend, do you know Steve Wozniak? It's the one who met you in San Francisco before... the fat guy."

Ethan's words paused, but an excited voice rang out from the other end of the phone-

"Ohhhh! I know! I know! Woz! That brother who works at HP, right?"

"I have an impression, I have an impression that he bought two MOS 6502 from me!"

"Did you call me today mean he has used 6502? It's very useful, right?"

"Did he praise our chips? Did he find other problems?"

"Oh - please forgive my misogynistic, because I'm so excited now! I really want to know your feedback on 6502!"

The anxious voice made Ethan laugh.

The guy on the other end of the phone seems a bit cute?

Although the two were far apart, Ethan could clearly feel that the guy who was answering the phone was like a primary school student waiting for his grades after the exam, his face full of hope, and he was eager to get praise and praise from the teacher.

And this anxiousness also cleared Ethan's throat and said, "Oh Mr. Pador, please don't worry."

"As you said, I did come for 6502. My friend used your product, which is very good."

"He even said many times that when the performance of the 6502 and the low price collided together, the world might change because of this."

Ethan followed Woz's prompt and sent a positive feedback to the person opposite him.

After listening to his words, there was a sudden noise on the other end of the phone.

This situation made Ethan very surprised. After waiting for a few seconds, he saw that the opposite side was still quiet, so he called out.

"Mr. Padow? Mr. Padow?"

The careful voice showed Ethan's doubts.

A slightly gentle tone evokes a burst of sobs.

"Ahem...I'm sorry...I'm a little excited, sir."

The response of ‘?’ surprised Ethan.

But the next second, the other party told the truth.

"Oh-thank you, thank you for your likes, and thank you for your trust."

"Actually, before Woz contacted me, many friends called to inquire about 6502, but after hearing the price, they all thought we were liars, only Woz, your friend, only he believed us!"

"Thank you very much for your attempts! Thank you very much for your help! You proved that we are not liars! Oh - this is really exciting! Woo-woo-someone finally believes us-"

"If it weren't for the phone call, I would even like to share this joy with my colleagues!"

This response made Ethan raise his eyebrows.

Well, he finally understood why Woz wanted to make him more sincere.

These guys are really...

Too interesting.

Thinking of this, Ethan smiled and said, "Oh Mr. Pador, can I ask you a question?"

“Woo woo woo — OK —”

"Is this your company's phone number?"

"Ahem - yes -"

"Okay, if you don't mind, you can call all your friends over."

Before Ethan's voice could be finished, he showed doubts on the other end of the phone, "What? I don't understand what you mean, sir."

"I said, you can call your engineers over and I will tell them that your products are very useful."

Ethan's repetition made Chuck Pido opposite him ecstatic.

After screaming, Ethan heard a dull bang, and then a burst of rapid footsteps disappeared from near to far.

After waiting for about two minutes, a roar from far to near suddenly appeared.

However, this sound comes and goes quickly.

After the noise, there is silence.

Then, the question was, "Hello? This gentleman...oh! Sorry, I forgot to ask your name...that...Steve Wozniak's friend, are you still there?"

"I'm here, you can call me Ethan."

"Okay! Ethan, my colleagues are all here."

"Then please answer the phone."

Ethan's invitation was exchanged for endless excitement.

"Hello Ethan! I am Bill Mensch, the architect of 6502! Do you really think 6502 is very useful?"

"Yeah~ The personal computer we made has already started running, it's great!"

"Oh! Ethan! I'm Rod Ogil! Do you really like 6502?"

"Of course! We like it, we like its performance, and we like its price!"

"It's my turn! It's my turn! I'm Ray Hilt, Ethan, I want to know how many chips you need to call this time? Or, can I know which company you belong to? We can provide you with 6502. If you think $42 is more expensive, we can also give you a price of $25 per piece! Because you are the first to buy our products!"

‘???’

To be honest!

When the words of proactive discount appeared, Ethan Jones was really confused!

What's it?

How could there be such a business!
