Rebirth of America, this is my time

Now that Ralph Bell has said this, Ethan can safely and boldly put aside all worries.

Over the next three days, they briefly played around Nashua.

Because Arnold Spielberg and Ralph Bell had something to say, the two old men acted alone, while Ethan, Spielberg and Jobs got together because they were young and walked around Boston. A trip to Manchester.

It wasn't until Arnold Spielberg decided to return home that they met again and flew back to Los Angeles.

Because everyone had something to do, they said goodbye after landing. Of course, Spielberg did not forget that Ethan asked him for a Barbra Streisand album. Since the item was not in hand, they agreed to meet next time. Give it to me with your own hands.

After saying goodbye, Ethan sent Jobs home. Then, with nothing to do, he returned to Palo Alto. After discovering his sister's presence, he even knocked on the door of his sister's villa, happily Shared his harvest with him.

At the same time, he also asked about business declaration matters.

This question made Evelin take out a document bag. Ethan took it and opened it. It contained the entrepreneurial application approved by Stanford. Just like what the two discussed before, Vinton Cerf appeared in the guidance room. In the teacher's column, not only that, Barbara Babcock also became the legal advisor assigned by Stanford University.

This result made Ethan very happy, and when he scrolled down, he was even more surprised to find that in addition to assigning teachers to guide entrepreneurship, Stanford also allocated 100,000 US dollars in entrepreneurial funds to them, as well as a three-story building in the school factory. Although the vacant building is not large, with a total area of ​​just over 17,000 square feet, which is equivalent to about 500 square meters per floor, it is very luxurious for a start-up company.

What's happening here?

Ethan didn't understand.

“Special matters are handled specially.”

Evelin said with a smile: “After I submitted my entrepreneurial application to the school, the teacher who knew the situation reported the matter directly. Because “Snake Game” was a huge success, the school decided to provide targeted support to us.

Don't worry, there is no interest involved here, because the application form was finally submitted to President Terman, and all the conditions were approved by him personally, and I was also fortunate enough to meet him. He said that at the Stanford Industrial Park After its establishment, Stanford has never cultivated a star company, which made him very regretful, because he really wanted to see outstanding companies born on this land in his lifetime.

He felt that our company had such potential, so he was willing to help. At the same time, he also told us not to worry, because when HP was just born, he was also the customer he helped find. At that time, HP was not famous and no one bought their electronic products. As for the product, Principal Terman personally called Walt Disney and sold him the HP oscillator. With that income, they stabilized.

concern?

How could Ethan have concerns?

He wished that the more help that came to his door, the better!

He is not a young man who just left school!

Compared with the old story of self-reliance from scratch, he believes more in the help of noble people!

Putting the documents away with a smile, Ethan added, Then the next step is to register the company?

Of course. Evelin nodded and said: The company has actually been able to register for a long time. I have already found an agency, but we still have many details that have not been finalized. For example, how much money are you prepared to invest? We need to seek help External financing?”

The question of financing made no sense to Ethan.

Because the game company is his cash cow, and he can't give it to anyone!

This is like Valve, which owns Steam, refusing to finance! Refuse to go public!

Those financial people on Wall Street want to lie on his body and suck his blood?

Dream on you!

As for how much money to invest...

It's up to Evelin.

How much do you want to invest? Ethan looked at Evelin with a smile and asked, Do you have any ideas on this matter?

Of course. Evelin also smiled and replied: I will vote for 300,000, accounting for 30%. You will vote for 700,000, accounting for 70%.

what do you think?

This distribution method made Ethan very curious, Why so divided?

Because if I occupy less, it will really be difficult for Stanford to have a name. Evelin said with a smile.

Stanford's student entrepreneurship program is to support our students to start their own businesses. You are not a Stanford student, so President Terman has no reason to give the green light to your business. Of course, if you are willing to enroll, then I don't have to invest...

Okay, Okay, Okay... stop talking, stop talking, I have no objection. Ethan waved his hand repeatedly, signaling his sister to stop.

read?

Do not make jokes!

Now is not the time to study!

As for thirty-seven points?

He actually had no objection.

Because he knew that no matter whether it was Barbara Babcock or Vinton Cerf, it was his sister who invited him.

He will also have to rely on the other party for future game production.

When the technology and connections are provided by the other party, there is no problem in occupying 30%.

And while Ethan nodded in approval, his continuous refusal made Evelin roll her eyes.

She punched him angrily and said, Then when will you tell me about your new inspiration?

Principal Terman and Teacher Wenton both told me that after the new product comes out, we should give them one as soon as possible.

Because they are very curious about what kind of new ideas pop up in your mind when you are eager to solve all problems and try your best to make games.

Speaking of this, Evelin's eyes were also filled with curiosity, To be honest...

I'm curious too.

“Is that so?” Evelin’s words made Ethan laugh. So you are all looking forward to my new work?

Oh - this is really stressing me out -

However, I am confident.

Evelin, let's do this. Give me a few days to think about it, and I'll see what game I can make.

Evelin frowned upon hearing such words.

Because she heard the ambiguity in Ethan’s words.

Think about it?

What game are you looking for?

Oh Ethan, don't you have a lot of ideas in your head?

Evelin asked suspiciously: Why do I feel that you have the intention of switching from wholesale to retail?

Ethan certainly has a lot of inspiration!

After all, what he has in his mind is the accumulation of a whole world!

It's just that there's no way to fake this kind of beeping, so he can only laugh and say nothing.

After the share ratio is determined, the company officially begins registration.

Under the handling of the agency, Kismet obtained the business license on November 14, 1975.

Evelyn Johnson, who holds 30% of the shares, becomes the company's chairman and CEO.

Ethan Jones, who holds 70% of the shares, serves as president.

Later, on Monday, the 17th, the entrepreneurial funds promised by Stanford were also delivered to Ethan in the form of a check.

Not only that, they also gave Ethan the key to a vacant building in the Stanford Industrial Park.

And signed a ten-year lease contract with Ethan, and the fee was as low as one dollar a year.

In return, Kismet promised to give priority to recruiting employees at Stanford. In the future, if the company's total number of employees exceeds 100, then after excluding the basic worker ratio, the proportion of Stanford employees in the company cannot be less than 100%. of twenty.

After doing all this in a hurry, Ethan got busy with the most important things.

At two o'clock in the afternoon that day, the technical consultant employment invitation and employment contract drawn up by a lawyer and signed by Ethan departed from Palo Alto and flew by fax to Nashua, New Hampshire, in the hands of Professor Bell.

It is a long-term contract with no fixed term. As long as Professor Bell is willing, he will always be able to serve as Kismet's senior technical consultant. For this reason, Kismet will pay him a certain consulting fee every year, and it will be five per year for the first five years. Ten thousand U.S. dollars, and subsequent fees will depend on the situation, but starting from the sixth year, a minimum bottom line is set, and the annual consulting fee will not be less than one hundred thousand U.S. dollars.

To be honest, the money is actually very little.

Because Ralph Bell's annual salary at Sanders is upwards of 200,000 yuan.

This is 200,000 for 1975, not 200,000 for 2023!

In addition, he has licensed a bunch of his patents, so he himself is actually very rich.

But this price was actually raised by others themselves.

In his words, that is - 'Ethan, I don't care how much money you give me, as long as the games you make satisfy me, then I will stay in your company because I like playing games. I also hope that everyone in the world can play good games. ’

When such words appeared, Ethan readily accepted them.

After waiting for an hour, the acceptance receipt came out of Ethan's fax.

The contract signed by Ralph Bell himself will be delivered by mail, which will take about two weeks.

Of course, if you use FedEx, you may have to wait for a courier named Chuck to deliver it to your door.

After finishing all this, Ethan called Professor Ralph Bell again.

On the phone, he said——

Professor Bell, there is something I would like to ask your opinion on.

Oh Ethan, just say it.

That's it. I want to send a statement to Mi Luohua to inform them of the fact that I have established a game company. Then, I will also tell them that I have invited you to become my company's technical consultant.

Such words made Ralph Bell on the other end of the phone stunned for a moment.

For about three or four seconds, clear laughter came from the receiver——

Oh Ethan! I understand what you mean! Okay! Just send it directly! Mi Luohua's behavior of indiscriminate prosecution is a bit disgusting. If it were me, I would also give them a slap!

No--

I want to slap him right now!

Ask them to fight against plagiarism, and they end up strangling everyone! This is really disgusting!

Well, let me give you a suggestion. Didn't the Los Angeles Times publish your report? You go to them directly and ask them to do an exclusive interview for you. I think they will definitely be willing!

When the time comes, call me to watch! You must call me to watch!

Ralph Bell's reaction made Ethan smile and shake his head.

Well, he is still a sweetheart.

But if that’s the case, it’s easy to handle!

After hanging up the phone, Ethan found the contact information for the Los Angeles Times in the Yellow Pages and called it.

After being connected, he said straightforwardly: I am Ethan Jones, the inventor of Snake Game. I have an exclusive interview. Please do it for me... After terminating the partnership with Atari, I have now established I founded my own company and reached a cooperation with Professor Ralph Bell, the inventor of Milova Odyssey, who is now our company’s senior technical advisor.”

That's right!

After hugging his thigh, what Ethan wanted to do most was to disgust people!

He wants to show the fact that he succeeded in stealing the house right in Mi Luohua's face!

What kind of gentleman wants revenge, and it’s never too late in ten years?

I bother!

I, Ethan, take revenge from morning to night!
