Rebirth of America, this is my time

Human memory is not completely reliable. No matter how impressive a thing or an event is, as time goes by, people's memory of these things or events will have certain deviations.

For example, Pikachu's tail is pure yellow with no black.

but--

Ethan believed that he could not have remembered wrongly the reasons why Bill Mensch left MOS.

Because he had been sad for a long time after hearing this. He thought that these guys who gathered because of their dreams could still create miracles, but he did not expect that these people would also part ways due to interests.

At that time, he also borrowed a phone from Chuck Paido and sent blessings to these guys.

If such a clear memory is wrong, what else can he remember correctly?

Not to mention, Evelin was also by his side at that time.

You remember too, right? Ethan looked at his sister seriously.

Yes. Evelin nodded with certainty.

So one of them must be lying. Ethan's eyes widened.

Definitely. Evelin raised her eyebrows in agreement.

Uh... interrupt me... can I understand what you are talking about?

The strange conversation between Ethan and Evelyn left Bill Mensch a little confused.

As he asked, the two people who were still looking at each other moved their eyes to the man almost at the same moment. The penetrating eyes made Bill Mensch shudder, but before he wanted to ask, , Ethan has already spoken, William, what happens next may make you very angry, so I hope you can calm down before that, Okay?

... The words of repaying the other's favor made Bill Mensch frown.

Okay. He nodded doubtfully.

After he said that he could control his emotions, Ethan continued: William, do you remember the phone call I made to you before? It was the phone call I made to you from MOS's landline to wish you good luck in the future? At that time, Cha Ke Ke told us that you left because of the profitability of the chip...

Wow--

When Ethan told what he saw that day, Bill Mensch, who was extremely calm, suddenly jumped up!

Eyes as wide as bells, ears like antennas, looking at Ethan in shock——

Shit!

He yelled loudly: Chuck said I left MOS because of money?

MFxxk!

“This guy is such a fucking son of a bitch!!!”

MOS has long been out of money! Alan Bradley is not willing to add a penny! In this case, I proposed to use the proceeds of MOS 6502 as development funds for the next generation of chips! But they did not agree! They I thought this wasn’t going to work! That’s why I left!”

Bill Mensch roared emotionally.

As he tells it, a story emerges that Ethan has never heard before.

Ethan already knew before that Allen Bradley bought shares in MOS because he wanted to intervene in the calculator war, but in fact, they never really experienced the war because they bought shares in MOS in 1970. , the same year after becoming a shareholder, HP launched the generation-changing product HP-35.

Eighteen months later, HP launched the HP-65.

When he learned about the calculator war, Ethan had already learned from the little fat guy Steve Wozniak that HP's two products not only caused a sensation in the entire calculator market, but also crushed other competition. Or, in this case, Allen Bradley, who has just entered the industry, will simply lose money.

If they hadn't been rich, MOS would have filed for bankruptcy a long time ago, but even if they were rich, they didn't want to keep maintaining the mess of MOS, so they wanted to cash it in. At this time, Chuck Paido and the others appeared, and they Brought central processor production solutions to MOS.

It's a pity that Alan Bradley, who has already lost a lot of money in the field of civilian semiconductors, did not want MOS to engage in central processor research until Chuck Paido and others said that they had rich experience in the industry. Allen Bradley reluctantly agreed when not much R\u0026D funding was needed.

Then, the 6501 came out.

Then, they were sued by Motorola.

This fact made Allen Bradley numb.

But soon, 6502 gave them hope of turning around.

Because Ethan helped them solve their legal problems.

Because Ethan made their chips a huge hit.

But even so, they are not willing to let me continue my research!

Bill Mensch said angrily: Because they just want to sell the company!

They just want to make profits!

They don't want to take the risk!

To be honest, Ethan can actually understand Allen Bradley's thinking. When a leader with obvious advantages has emerged in a fiercely competitive Red Sea market, it is wise to withdraw decisively. But being able to understand does not mean being able to accept it, because——

Chuck Paido from Special Code told him that they were developing a 16-bit chip!

The research and development funds of Tema are still the profits of the chip production company!

It’s a special code, and he hasn’t received any dividends from the chip yet!

Thinking of this, Ethan said: Chuck told me before that he was developing a 16-bit chip...

“He’s a fool to develop special codes!” Bill Mensch sneered: “Can he?”

Although Ethan felt that what Bill Mensch said was most likely true, after being deceived continuously, he could no longer trust anyone.

Taking a deep breath, Ethan asked: Do you have any evidence?

Does he have a chip? Bill Mensch immediately raised his eyebrows and asked.

This question choked Ethan half to death, and just when he didn't know how to answer, Evelin said: William, if I remember correctly, the day we called you, Chuck showed us His idea for a sixteen-bit chip...

His sister's words made Ethan nod quickly.

The two men's pursuit made Bill Mensch snort, stand up and leave.

He ran upstairs quickly and came back a moment later with a stack of manuscripts.

Isn't this what he showed?

Bill Mensch handed the manuscript directly to Evelyn.

The girl took it and took a look. The extremely detailed circuit diagram made her frown.

Although Ethan didn't understand the production of chips, he knew that there should be no problem with these manuscripts.

And since the manuscript is fine...

Then there is definitely something wrong with Chuck Perdor!

After waiting for Evelin to look up again, Bill Mensch, who had already gotten the answer he wanted, turned around and left. He rushed to the wall phone in the entrance, picked up the receiver and started dialing.

After a while of transfer, he was a little impatient and finally got a response...

I don’t know what the guy on the other end of the phone said, but Bill Mensch, who was leaning against the wall, was out of breath after listening for a while, and then he started to curse:

Hua Q! Chuck - you fucking told Ethan that I left MOS because of money?

Oh! Sxxt! You really said you're working on a 16-bit chip?

Wow~Wow~Wow~ Then who was telling me that Allen Bradley didn't support it?

Who told me that they don't want to make 16-bit chips at all?

MFxxk! You son of a bitch!

Is there a fucking truth in your mouth?

Ethan didn’t know how he left Bill Mensch’s house, but he knew that before he left, Bill Mensch was angrily smashing things in the house.

As for the reason?

When he roared and wanted to confront Chuck Paido, the other party immediately hung up the phone.

This fact made it clear to Ethan that perhaps many things, the special code was false from the beginning.

Special code! Damn stuff!

After returning to the hotel, Ethan was leaning on the sofa and muttering angrily.

what are you saying?

Evelin, who threw her handbag into the safe, looked up and saw Ethan waving his fist there.

Swearing. Ethan sighed forcefully and said, I thought guys with dreams were good people, but judging from the current situation... humph...

Ethan sneered twice and stopped talking.

Evelin could understand his helplessness, because since the end of last year, Ethan seemed to have been having bad luck.

It started with Wenlock's sudden attack. The lion wanted to invest in Apple, and Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, had not told Ethan about this at the first time.

If this thing happened, it was understandable, because it was about to be on vacation, and Steve Jobs didn't want this kind of thing to ruin Ethan's rest time, and after Ethan learned about it, the two Steve Jobs The husband also gave full power over the negotiation to Ethan, and the main thing was trust to the end, but what happens next?

Steven Spielberg hid…

George Lucas hid...

Chuck Paddo is hiding too...

Tell the truth!

Evelin didn’t even know why Ethan was so unlucky!

The guys around me are all acting!

This speed and scale are simply more outrageous than Judas betraying Jesus!

but--

These are not important anymore, right?

Evelin walked to sit opposite Ethan and said, There is no point in going into the matter that Chuck Pedosa did not lie, because now we have been able to determine one thing, that is, Alan Bu It is impossible for Radley and MOS to sell the 6502 patent to us.

And her words also made Ethan laugh, Yes, because of HP.

In his previous life, Ethan had heard this saying: If you choose a friend, you choose an enemy.

When they are firmly bound to Stanford, and when President Fred Terman is willing to publicly endorse them, all the enemies related to these people will be their enemies.

Before, Ethan may not have interacted with them because they may not be in the same field. But now, once there is a business connection, the enemies of your own camp will never show mercy.

When Hewlett-Packard lost tens of millions to Allen Bradley in the calculator war, even if he thought about it with his buttocks, Ethan knew that Allen Bradley would not be able to sell the chip patent to him.

As for why selling to Komodo is more profitable?

hehe--

he!

Ethan Jones!

Now I would rather believe that there is Qin Shihuang in this world!

I don’t believe what these people are saying anymore!

In this case, Chuck Paido's statement that their products are too expensive and Apple's computers are too expensive is probably a lie. It is just an excuse that he does not want to sell chips to him.

And when the attitudes of the patent inventor and patent owner are so clear...

Things will be easier to handle.

Since they have taken sides, we will fight to the end.

Ethan spread his hands and sneered: Before, I thought it would be a shame to find someone to reprint the chip, but now it seems... hmph!

At the same time as he spoke, Ethan also stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

Now that things have become clear and the enemy has appeared, let's rest early.

We'll talk about the rest tomorrow.

I believe William will make the right choice.

Just as Ethan thought, at eight o'clock the next morning, before he even got out of bed after going to bed at four o'clock, Bill Mensch had already followed the address he left last night and found him.

After seeing Ethan in his nightgown, the engineer who had calmed down said: Ethan, I know why you are looking for me. You hope that I can provide you with cheap chips. I can agree to this, and I can even provide you with it based on your request. I want to customize chips for you, but at the same time you have to meet my needs, and you need to give me a sum of money to allow me to continue researching chips.

The hearty deal made Ethan smile, Okay.

At the same time, he also wants to protect his own rights and interests, You start a company, and I will invest in you.

You take care of R\u0026D, and production is mine.

You are the patent inventor, and the company is the patent owner. At the same time, the company must also unconditionally license all patents to Destiny Game, Okay?

The concise request made Bill Mensch nod his head, Okay.

The bearded guy stretched out his right hand and said, Kill them.

Such thoughts made Ethan shake hands and said, Kill them.

Since both parties have the same goal, the details of the cooperation can be easily finalized. It only took one day for Ethan to sign a contract with Bill Mensch.

In the next month, the two parties will establish a company called Western Design Center in Arizona. Bill Mensch will invest in technology and hold 49% of the shares, while Destiny Game will invest 50% of the shares. million and get the remaining fifty-one. Ethan Jones will serve as chairman and chief executive officer of the new company, while Bill Mensch will serve as a senior technical expert for the new company.

At the same time, Michael Blanco Manufacturing, which has been spun off from Destiny Games but remains part of Destiny Games, will create a chip production facility under the direction of Bill Mensch.

In the future, the production of chips will not be handed over to any outsider.

As for why not hide your identity?

Ah--

You've already been slapped in the face, so why hide your identity as a der!

Since these guys want to choke his neck, then he will spit on these stupid faces!

tell them--

no way!

With the signing of the contract, Ethan finally breathed a sigh of relief, shook hands with Bill Mensch and said goodbye, then rushed to Cupertino without stopping and informed the two Steves of the latest situation.

When Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak learned that MOS and their majority shareholder, Allen Bradley, had a deep hatred for HP, they almost jumped out of their seats.

They are eager to know whether Apple will replace the chip because of this matter.

And expressed the problems caused by replacing the chip——

If we were to change the chip, the current machine would have to be redesigned.

This is a very long process and is very detrimental to our expansion.

But when Ethan said that the matter had been resolved and the chip would be available soon, the two guys immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time expressed their dissatisfaction with Chuck Paido's concealment.

So Chuck was using us from the beginning, right?

Steve Wozniak said: If he was designing us from the beginning and wanted to borrow us to sell chips from the beginning, then he is a terrible person!

What does it mean to be terrible? Such people should be killed! Steve Jobs corrected the error in Woz's words, If all this is true, then I will do everything possible to kill them!

Ethan did not comment on the two people’s remarks.

After leaving Cupertino and returning to Palo Alto, Ethan met the long-awaited Minoru Arakawa again.

Tell him the truth, tell him that he has lost control of Chuck Padre Chip Company, tell him that Allen Bradley may cut off the license to Nintendo's Kyoto Chip Manufacturing Company.

And when Ethan thought that Nintendo would be angry about this, Minoru Arakawa smiled and said: Mr. Jones, our president said that you must be able to get new cheap chips.

So we don't care about those things.

If Nintendo Kyoto Chip Manufacturing Company really loses its authorization, then please authorize the newly acquired chips to us. To this end, we are willing to cooperate with you in litigation.

? This choice of Hiroshi Yamauchi surprised Ethan.

Arakawa Minoru's narrow-eyed smile made him nod slightly, Okay.

Then I won't disturb you. Minoru Arakawa leaned forward and left.

The gradually disappearing figure also made Ethan curse in his heart——

‘Old Yinbi! ’

Although Nintendo didn't take the opportunity to attack, Ethan didn't think they were good people, and just when he was wondering what Hiroshi Yamauchi was trying to do, Steve Ballmer appeared at the door of his office. , said: Boss, Allen Bradley has made an announcement...

Note: ① The company founded by Bill Mensch in reality is called Western Design Center. It is very common in America for patent owners to start a new business and directly copy the products of their former employer. Those who dare not copy are basically those whose former employer's background can directly evaporate them.
