Rebirth of America, this is my time

When it comes to game exhibitions, the first impression that comes to Ethan's mind is - Bai! big! long!

Uh... there's no way.

Who makes the major game exhibitions in a few decades like to sideline?

The Tokyo Game Show was born in 1996. It was the first exhibition to combine video games and beauties. The girls at the Yakuza booth have always been a beautiful sight.

Perhaps because of the geographical proximity and easy learning, CJ, which was born in 2004, is not far behind. Almost all exhibitors will invite beautiful showgirls to warm up the show, with their eye-catching curves, hot clothes and sensitive The position of the logo has allowed CJ to successfully break out of the exhibition again and again.

It was precisely because these two companies were so crazy that after that, E3, the world's largest electronic entertainment exhibition, also began to invite models. By 2009, when Gamescom was established, they were even more inevitable. Invite showgirls, engage in cosplay, and further combine beauties with video games.

So far, white, big and long have become unique labels for game exhibitions.

And in this era...

Oh! Fxxk! This is a trade show???

After finishing breakfast, Ethan followed Frank to the San Francisco Video Game Expo. As soon as he entered the door, he exclaimed, My God!!! Is this something you can watch without spending money???

Ethan's eyes widened.

The fluttering eyelids are like the shutter of a camera, where they record the beautiful scenery around them.

Wherever he could see, there were machines and huge crowds of people all over the place.

Of course, regardless of whether it was a single person or a single machine, it would not surprise Ethan who had seen the world so much. What really surprised him was the girls in front of each booth.

There were groups of white girls in cool clothes. Their upper body was at best a Bxa, their lower body was a palm-sized TX pants, and their feet were wearing a pair of slender high heels. Whenever a tourist stops in front of the machine they are standing on, these girls will greet them enthusiastically and introduce the products they stand to.

Since he has not experienced it personally, Ethan does not know what the professional abilities of these girls are, but judging from the facial feedback of those customers who have already tried it, they should be very satisfied at this moment.

‘This is a fucking video game expo? ’

‘This is not serious at all! ’

After looking around, Ethan Jones was stunned!

Turning to look at Frank, he felt at this moment that he was not at an exhibition, but that he had broken into some red light district!

Because in this place in front of me, except for the nauseating smell of smoke and the deafening music that are most common in nightclubs, it actually has everything that should be there and what shouldn't be there!

Ethan's surprise made Frank laugh.

He raised his arm, hooked Ethan's shoulder, and then pulled Ethan in.

At the same time, he also said: Yo yo yo! Are you surprised? Why do I feel like this is the first time you have seen such a scene? How old are you? Have you never been in a bar? Isn't it just a bit of showgirl! Appearing in this place Isn’t that normal!”

Brother! You have to know where the original arcade machines were sold! The place with the best sales and the most satisfying money is Las Vegas! Since the 1950s, Las Vegas They are the favorite customers of California arcade manufacturers! In order to cater to those bosses and make them look friendly, these arcade manufacturers provide showgirl services similar to those in Las Vegas when selling their machines. Is it normal?”

How else can we say that capitalism is all about money?

In order to gain more benefits, Party B in the non-monopoly industry pursues what they like!

Customer is god!

Whatever customers like, we give them!

When Ethan followed Frank and blended into the venue together, the enthusiasm that greeted him was the smell of deodorant.

Although the mixture of various strong fragrances does not smell very good, and can even be said to be very pungent, but to be honest, when those girls in gaudy clothes hold their throats and act as 'sales', introducing you to their booths. The gentle feeling when the machine teaches you how to play step by step is still great!

after all……

It costs no money!

Nothing can give people more happiness than free prostitution!

But while he was feeling happy in his heart, Ethan's face didn't look very pretty.

Because in front of this old-school sales model, he came alone with an arcade machine, like a clown.

Tell the truth!

No matter how fun Snake is, it can't be promoted in a ghost place like this!

When major manufacturers are using beautiful women to attract customers, he, Ethan Jones, can't wear gigolo clothes and show off his figure in public, can he?

After all, this is a gaming expo!

Not a gigolo club!

This is also true. When Ethan moved Snake into the venue, no one came to try it out for two hours.

Especially when the background sound of Jingle Bells came from the speakers of Snake, the businessmen who came to order from Frank would only laugh and encourage Ethan, and then clapped their hands and left quickly. .

Yes, the Mr. Verboler that Ethan talks about actually has a booth.

As a hazardous chemicals seller who opened a store in downtown San Francisco, the organizer invited him to come here to help these newly transformed arcade manufacturers solve technical problems and provide material help.

It was precisely because Frank was a serious invitee that Ethan was able to bring the game console in. Not only that, the organizer also thoughtfully helped during the transportation process. However, if time could go back, Ethan would rather not bring the machine, because it would really be a waste of time if the pestle is here!

To be honest, if he had time to sit here and watch the old-school arcade company having a party, he might as well run to Saramento!

Maybe the new arcade company there would be willing to accept a Snake collaboration?

However, Ethan was very depressed, but Frank was very interested.

The sisters who have been looking left and right at each booth.

Not only that, whenever he finds the type he likes, he will also use urine escape.

Let Ethan help look at the booth, while he quickly ran to the booth where his favorite sister was and played two games.

Ethan strongly condemned this kind of inappropriate behavior, and just when he was thinking about whether he should leave with an excuse after Frank came back again, and teach this young boss a lesson...

A figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

This is a young man wearing a cowboy hat and toad glasses, a floral T-shirt on his upper body, and a pair of bell-bottom pants on his lower body.

After looking at the booth logo, he asked curiously: San Francisco Electronics Supply Company? Hello sir, do you sell materials here? The kind of materials used to make circuit boards?

Yeah, sell.

Ethan was already familiar with this process.

He was so familiar with it that he thought he was the owner of an electronics supply company in San Francisco!

He patted the record sheet on the table and said, Write what materials you want directly on it, pay attention to the product name and quantity, and then leave your contact information. We will contact you within three working days. Communicate to pick up the goods.”

Okay, Okay, thank you. The man leaned over and wrote.

The long hair flowing down made Ethan move.

Because these days, those who wear floral shirts and have long hair are basically hippies.

He didn't want to hang out with such a restless guy, lest he get into trouble.

‘Oh no! hippie? ’

This word made Ethan look at the other person a few more times.

Then, an interesting idea suddenly came to his mind.

‘Isn’t Mr. Ferber always afraid of something happening? ’

'Eh! ’

‘Can’t we give him some fun now? ’

Ethan felt that if he told Frank later that the guy who came to buy chemical materials was a hippie in a very obvious dress, wouldn't this timid guy be nervous to death?

And while Ethan was thinking wildly, this hippie gentleman with long flowing hair also wrote a list.

He nodded friendly to Ethan, and then turned his attention to the Snake arcade machine aside.

It seemed that he was attracted by the exquisite appearance, but it was also possible that he was swayed by the background music of Jingle Bells. In short, he stared at it for a long time, and then he said, Sir, this is the electronic product launched by your company. game?

Ah... that's right...

When he mentioned this, Ethan immediately became energetic and said, If you are interested, you can give it a try.

At the same time, he took out a dozen coins from his pocket and said, No money.

Thank you. The long-haired hippie picked up a twenty-five-cent coin and threw it in. As the screen flashed, he began to play with concentration.

At first, because he didn't understand the game mechanics, he died like all the guys who tried to play Snake.

But after spending a few coins, he figured out the game routine and gradually got on the right track.

Use both hands to fiddle with the joystick regularly.

Under his operation, the little snake on the screen ate the white dots again and again.

At the same time, his whole body fell into silence as if possessed by a ghost.

Although the exhibition site was very noisy.

But Ethan could feel that there was always a rhythmic clicking sound of eating in his ears.

This scene surprised Ethan.

Because he didn't expect that this hippie gentleman could resist three waves of game acceleration!

It wasn't until the fourth wave of acceleration came that he watched the little snake hit the wall because he didn't control it in time!

Oh! Fxxk!

He waved his fist and yelled!

It's just a little bit close!

He stamped his feet angrily!

But Ethan, who had witnessed all this, thought he was awesome.

Because this guy is the only person in the past few days who has achieved 40 points with only four coins without being familiar with the mechanics of Snake.

Just when Ethan was about to praise him, the hippie-like man suddenly stood up straight and looked around.

Ethan Jones, who looked like a thief, was puzzled, but the next second, the man gave the answer.

He leaned down, unplugged the game, then approached Ethan Jones and whispered: Sir, it's a pleasure to meet you here. Please forgive me for being rude, because I am very excited right now.

Sir, since you brought Snake Game to the exhibition, it proves that you intend to sell it, right? If you have this idea, then let's get to know each other?

Having said this, he touched his butt and took out a wallet from his pocket.

this is my name card.

Ethan Jones was very happy to hear the straight-to-the-point attitude.

He originally thought he was going to leave empty-handed!

But I didn't expect...

Or is there someone who knows the stuff?

And when he took the business card with a smile, glanced down at it, and was about to discuss cooperation with this hippie gentleman...

Good guy!

The words on the business card made him stunned on the spot!

He rubbed his eyes and couldn't believe it!

Because it says:

Atari electronics engineer - Steven Paul Jobs.

Note: ①The concept of showgirl has been around for a long time. It is a very common thing in America to invite beautiful women to catwalk in major exhibitions. However, the neutral meaning of showgirl is actually our way of saying it. In America, showgirl actually means It has a special meaning of striptease show girl. In 1995, Hollywood also made a striptease movie called Showgirl. Therefore, I don't know which little genius at the time directly made Millikin this Derogatory terms that have existed for hundreds of years have been used for propaganda purposes.
