Reborn America, this is my time

Chapter 52 My sister is back~
Although Ethan Jones was full of complaints, in his heart, he already had an idea that was not mature.

As for what?

It's like what Papa said—"Beat magic with magic."

Legal issues, of course, have to be resolved by a mage.

But even if Ethan Jones had a goal, he didn't want to trouble Barbara for a while.

The reason is also very simple. If capitalists in modern industry exploit the surplus value of laborers, then what financial capital absorbs is the huge profits of these capitalists, and what they focus on is getting something for nothing.

If MOS promises that after Ethan Jones helps them solve the patent problem, they will give Ethan Jones a protective license for the 6502 product. For example, in the next year, Ethan Jones will enjoy the patent of 6502. Exclusive production rights, then Ethan Jones will definitely be more active than anyone else in safeguarding his own interests.

But this kind of thing, according to the shared thinking of those people, no matter how you look at it, it can't happen, right?
Then Ethan Jones decided to wait, wait for MOS to solve the problem by himself, and wait for the dust to settle, and everyone will have a big pot meal together.

He admitted that he was such a layman.

He is willing to contribute to changing the world, but before that——

"No matter what, let me drink the head soup, right?"

…………

Since there is nothing to do with Woz, and the great career that Jobs envisioned has not made much progress for the time being, Ethan Jones decided to leave first, not to be a light bulb in front of Woz, a guy who has already left the order, let alone get along with him. Old Joe, who was sulking all day long, stared there.

And when he sat in his Chevrolet again, Ethan only felt that the past month was a dream.

On the surface, he got to know Woz, ate apples, touched gold, and is expected to achieve wealth and freedom within five years.

But what about reality?The people of Woz are very nice, the apple smells very fragrant, Jinshan looks very close, and the good life of wealth and freedom is far away!

He has been busy for a month, and he feels that he has gained a lot, but there is no one project that is actually finalized.

Although this fact made people very helpless, Ethan just struggled with it for a while and stopped thinking about these things.

There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain!

You should be happy as a human being, why torture yourself?
Even if all the above things can't be done, he can still play games, right?
"Hey! That's the good thing about foresight!"

"There are many ways to retreat!"

…………

With such a thought, Ethan decided to go home and copy the next game.

Ah no, designing the next game.

And when he returned home with a smile on his face, he was overwhelmed by surprises as soon as he entered the door.

"Wow! When did you get back?"

In sight, Evelyn in a white dress was nestling on the sofa watching TV, her chin resting on one hand, showing a lazy look.

The unexpected shout made the girl turn her eyes. After seeing the dusty figure at the entrance, the girl said in surprise: "Oh ~ Ethan~ You are finally back!"

Before the words fell, Evelyn took advantage of the situation and ran over.

With a smile on her face, she just wanted to give Ethan a hug, but the sour smell on her face made her take two steps back.

Covering his nose with one hand and flapping his fan with the other, he said in surprise, "Oh! Sxxt! Ethan, are you going to MXG for business? Why are you like a refugee?"

What Evelyn said about going to MXG to do business actually refers to the border industry plan created by Millikin and MXG to prevent illegal immigration.

In WW2, because millions of young and middle-aged people were invited to join the army, there was a serious shortage of agricultural labor in Millikin. In order to solve this problem, Mi Shizu came up with a "MXG Agricultural Labor Plan", allowing MXG agricultural workers to enter the southwestern part of the United States to engage in agricultural work .

This plan was readily accepted by MXG, because they thought it was a perfect plan of 'labor for dollars'. MXG could not only gain benefits from labor, but also solve the explosive unemployment problem. Therefore, after the plan was signed, several million Temporary immigrants frantically poured into the southwestern states of Michigan.

However, after the end of WW2, the return of the labor force made the local residents very dissatisfied with the temporary immigrants. The local people in the United States believed that the temporary immigrants took their jobs, so under the pressure of the anti-immigrant groups, the "MXG Agricultural Labor Plan" was implemented. After 24 years it finally came to an end.

Although a lot of temporary immigrants have been cleared, the market environment brought about by cheap labor has made the local labor very dissatisfied. The workers in the United States cannot accept the immoral jobs offered by the capitalists, and the capitalists do not want to provide more superior and higher-paying jobs. Since then, in order to ensure the normal circulation of low-end production industries, MXG and the United States have come up with a border industrialization plan.

MXG allows the United States to invest in the construction of low-wage assembly factories on its own border. For this reason, the United States needs to hire a large number of labor from MXG to solve the employment problem of MXG.

After that, the picture of half heaven and half hell in the photos of major media in later generations appeared.

And what Evelyn said about going to MXG to do business, in fact, is that Ethan has a smell that foreigners often have.

It's discrimination, but... who cares?
Such words made Ethan look down.

Although he had bathed and changed clothes every day in the past month, many problems could not be avoided in the summer.

In addition, this body is white, and the sweat glands on the skin are relatively developed, so——

"Oh Evelyn! I know what you mean, but I have to correct you! Please be careful with your words!"

"Get out!" Evelyn was not used to him, she glared at him, and then drove him upstairs, "Hurry up and take a shower!"

"I don't..." Ethan wanted to say something else.

But Evelyn was faster than him, showing her bright fists, "Want to be beaten? Ang Ha?"

"...Okay, I'll wash it."

Ethan went upstairs directly based on the principle of family harmony.

About 10 minutes later, when he reappeared in a clean suit, Evelyn smiled again on her face.

"Is that right~"

The girl moved around and made room on the sofa.

Although Ethan sat down, he put on a poker face, almost saying that strangers are not allowed to enter.

In such a situation, Evelyn picked up the Lay's potato chips and happy water on the table and handed them over.

Seeing that Ethan didn't pick it up, she stuffed the snacks into Ethan's hand and said, "Why? Are you angry?"

Ethan still ignored her.

The silent attitude made Evelyn smile and shook her head, ran up the stairs, and came back with a thump.

In the process, she also had a gift box in her hand.

"Well, for you."

"Caught it on a trip, I think you'll like it."

Although it was customary for Millikin to go out and bring some gifts to those around him, when Ethan opened the gift box, the clothes inside still made him scream in surprise.

It was a very ordinary T-shirt, and the promotional words of the 1975 Seattle Music Festival were even printed on the chest, but at the same time, beside the logo, there was an extremely scrawled signature——Ray Charles.

"Oh! Sxxt! Is this a signed Ray Charles T-shirt?"

"Yeah~"

"How did you get it?"

"I asked for it at the music festival. Although he has limited mobility, he is still very enthusiastic. There are more than 1000 signings on the spot, right?"

Ray Charles, that is a national treasure singer in the United States, has won Grammys many times, and was ranked among the top ten in the "100 Greatest Artists in History" selected by "Rolling Stone" magazine.

Although Ethan in his previous life hadn't heard much of his songs, he had seen "Soul Singer" based on him.

Jamie Foxx did a good job, and Ethan loved it.

And this signed T-shirt——

"Oh thank you." Ethan accepted it with a smile, "This gift is indeed a surprise!"

"Aren't you angry?" Evelyn snorted twice.

"Have I ever been angry?" Ethan asked in doubt, blinking his big eyes, trying his best to show sincerity.

Evelyn wanted to curse at this shameless gesture.

But before she started to spray, Ethan, who realized something was wrong, changed the topic directly.

"Evelyn, can you tell me where you went this time? The gift you gave me made me curious about your travels."

The blunt question made Evelyn roll her eyes.

She kicked Ethan angrily, then she stood up again and searched the display cabinet in the living room.

Then, a photo album appeared in front of Ethan.

Touching the cover of the album, a smile appeared on Evelyn's face.

It seems to be recalling the beauty of the past month, but it also has the joy of telling the inner joy.

"Oh Ethan~ Let me tell you, our trip this time was really exciting!"

"We went to Seattle first and participated in the music festival there. In addition to Brother Ray, there were many singers singing there!"

"Look! This is the live photo! This is the Hearts!"

"Really! The vibe there is great! Much better than this side in San Francisco!"

"And after watching the performance, we walked all the way south along the Colorado River. Look, the scenery here is so beautiful~"

"Here, this photo was taken in Rock Arch Park!"

"How is it, does it look good?"

The photo Evelyn was referring to was taken in front of a sandstone arch.

The deep orange rock that was born [-] million years ago is a magnificent landscape in the land of America.

It doesn't matter that photos from this era simply don't capture its fine texture and true charm, does it?

Because what Evelyn asked was not whether the arches look good at all, but—

"Hmm."

After glancing at the photo, Ethan nodded resolutely, and said, "It's beautiful, especially this floral dress, which matches you very well."

"Oh! I like this dress too!"

Evelyn smiled and narrowed her eyes.

"I bought this at Gap for only $9.9."

Ethan smiled and nodded at his sister's joy, and heaved a sigh of relief.

Under Evelyn's narration, Ethan's travel route also popped up in Ethan's mind.

Starting from San Francisco, head all the way north, then diagonally south, and finally come back from the coastline in Arizona.

This kind of ease of traveling around half of the United States really made him envious.

And after Evelyn shared the joy with Ethan excitedly, she also curiously asked about Ethan's escape.

She wondered if Ethan really went to MXG.

Of course, Ethan strongly denied this speculation. At the same time, he felt that there was nothing to hide, and he also directly explained his daily life.

When Evelyn learned that Ethan went to Hawaii after the share of "Snake Game" was settled, she suddenly exclaimed in surprise. She said that no matter how good the interior is, there are no islands for vacation Come easy.

But when Ethan mentioned it, he actually only played for half a month, and spent the rest of the time working on computers with friends he knew. At the same time, they also discovered a CPU that seemed to be usable but had patent issues... …

The girl who was still smiling and listening suddenly frowned.

"What did you say? A $42 CPU?"

The girl stared at Ethan with her eyes wide open.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Ethan asked back.

"What's wrong?" Ethan's words stunned the girl for a moment.

Then he raised his voice, "Ethan, are you asking me what's wrong? I want to ask you what's wrong?"

"Why are you telling me about this now?"

"Why didn't you talk about such a big thing earlier?"
