In July 1985, the new entrepreneurial electronics released a new product in the middle of the year - the second generation of Zhangyu!

The biggest feature of this handheld machine is that the screen has become larger, and it has also changed from a black and white screen to a color screen.

The first generation of Palm Entertainment has a 3-inch TN LCD panel. The second generation of Palm Entertainment has a screen that has been upgraded to 4.5-inch. In addition, it has spanned several generations from TN LCD, using the TFT-LCD LCD panel that was supposed to be commercially available in the 1990s.

You should know that the color LCDs used in handheld machines in history were basically STN LCDs. Although they could display color effects, the color effects were fake, and they could only be said to be barely available. Therefore, STN panels were later abandoned and were eliminated by Japanese manufacturers as low-end production capacity and sold to Taiwan, South Korea and mainland China markets. This is just like Japanese manufacturers realizing that CRT monitors are going to be eliminated, so from the 1980s to 1990s, more than 100 color TV production lines were transferred to mainland China. It was good to take over in the 1980s and even the early 1990s, at least they made a lot of money. However, many people who took over in the mid-to-late 1990s lost a lot of money. Because soon, the next generation of LCD, plasma and other next-generation display technologies swept over, and CRT TV manufacturers were thrown away by manufacturers who sold them to their production lines before they had earned their capital back on the production line.

After suffering losses from Japanese manufacturers, domestic TV manufacturers thought that it was a good person from South Korea and Taiwan, so they gave most of the purchase orders for display panels to Korean and Taiwan manufacturers. As a result, Korean and Taiwan manufacturers jointly manipulated the prices, which also caused domestic manufacturers to suffer losses for many years. After suffering losses, the industry was even more competitive and determined to produce independently. Therefore, the 55-inch TV was reduced from tens of thousands of yuan to 10,000 yuan, then to 5,000 yuan, and then to 3,000 yuan. Then, promotions could even be obtained for 2,000 yuan. This is the benefits provided to consumers after China independently produced LCD panels and became an important global supplier.

Products that Chinese manufacturers cannot produce independently, such as CPUs, graphics cards and memory sticks. These are prices rising one after another. The manufacturer tells you that Moore's Law is fart at some point! The 8G DDR4 memory is reduced according to Moore's Law. This is your dream of spring and autumn. The reality is that you don't buy a piece of 200 yuan in 2016, and it rose to 400 in the first quarter of 2017, rose to 600 in the second quarter, rose to 800 in the third quarter, and rose to 1,000 in the fourth quarter! Why is this happening? Because... 90% of the storage chip market is monopolized by Korean manufacturers. Korean manufacturers cannot take advantage of the panel, and the explosion in mobile phones has caused a sharp decline in performance. Then, products such as memory and solid-state drives are monopolized by them, of course, the price increase is increased by their ability.

However, Lin Qi knew what kind of virtues those Japanese manufacturers in the future were, so he decided to make a living early at the beginning. If he was not good at it, he deserved it. History books said that if he fell behind so many times, he would be beaten. If he didn't want to be beaten, he naturally could not count on the conscience of the strong, but to be successful and become a strong man!

The second generation of Zhangyu now uses TFT-LCD panels, which is why Lin Qi thinks that he will be successful early and strive to be better at the top. With the influence of the Zhangyu brand, the TFT-LCD panels will not have to worry about sales in the early stage. Even if the panel used in the handheld machine is saturated, you can start up laptops, desktops, and even future TVs.

Therefore, investing in TFT-LCD is definitely not a problem now. Even if the initial investment is relatively high, it may take years to burn money to get a return. However, burn money early and get better. After the market matures and establishes a monopoly position, this market is very profitable!

You should know that before Samsung's mobile phone and memory business became popular, the most profitable industry chains were LCD panels, LCD TVs, monitors, etc.

...

"I'm very happy that there are so many friends who are here in person at our press conference today." Lin Qi said on the stage. "Of course, there are more friends who cannot come to the scene due to the number of people in our venue. But we still need to express our gratitude to all the friends who have supported us over the years."

"New Entrepreneurship Electronics Group was founded in 1979 and has a history of more than five years. At the beginning, we were poor and only I made the first pot of gold I made by writing a book. However, we have always adhered to our dreams and believed that with our imagination and intelligence, we will constantly change the world and bring better entertainment and life experience to mankind. This has always been the case. We are not satisfied with adhering to the rules, we are always seeking innovation. And we have always required that our products are not only innovative, but also that they are really something that our fans and market demands!"

"We started out as a handheld terminal. The calculator already had integrated circuits, TN displays, batteries and other components. Later, based on this, we made the "China Square" handheld console."

Lin Qi took the audience to review history. On the projectors on the scene, past products and the market sales of these products appeared.

"Next, ours is the first generation of Palm Entertainment, because we know that users only play one game. If our handheld console can only have one game, players need to buy a new game console for every game they change, which will cause unnecessary waste. So, we have created the first generation of Palm Entertainment that can replace game cartridges. It has the X8 chip we independently developed. Therefore, the performance is the king of handheld consoles, and it is still the case! In the handheld console field, it has no rivals!"

Since the release of the first generation of the Palm Entertainment platform, the sales of handheld hardware terminals have exceeded 130 million units, becoming the second highest-selling handheld product in the world.

The world's most-selling handheld product is only one "China Square" to choose from, with the price as low as about HK$100 at the beginning. At present, with years of mass production, the price of the handheld, which is nicknamed "Tile Machine" by players, has even been reduced to HK$48. Therefore, even the poorest country has many fans. By 1985, the cumulative sales of this handheld have exceeded 200 million.

After the sales of the first generation of Palm Entertainment exceeded 130 million units, both the hardware platform and the sales of software were already very weak.

Over the past few years, the entire platform has launched more than 800 games, with a total sales of games exceeding 450 million. However, the monthly sales of hardware terminals have dropped to 300,000 units, and although the sales of game cartridges are more than 2 million, it is obvious that players have lost the freshness of this handheld console platform, and game sales can no longer be as crazy as they were in the beginning.

Therefore, after four years, the newly-start electronics company has launched the second generation of Palm Entertainment to boost the somewhat weak Palm Machine Business.

After all, Lin Qi attaches more importance to the console market, but the handheld machine cannot give up. Because the handheld machine is actually very close to the mobile phone in the later feature phone era. As long as you boldly integrate the communication function of the mobile phone into the handheld machine, so that it can communicate and have powerful gaming functions, it is a disruptive product.

At the beginning, Motorola and Nokia believed that the most important function of mobile phones was communication. Mainstream mobile phone users would not choose smartphones because of entertainment. However, these companies were wrong. The more functions the terminals they held were integrated, the richer the experience, the better it would be.

With a smartphone in hand, users no longer need to buy handheld consoles, cameras, DVs, watches, MP3s, or even have a considerable number of computer functions. So, why can't it subvert traditional mobile phones?

In terms of technology, handheld consoles can be used to practice the hardware battery life, computing performance, display performance, and even... In the future, after accumulating more and more technologies, they can completely subvert those mobile communication giants.

...

"Palm Entertainment 2nd generation, it is not an ordinary newer product. In fact, the screen area has been upgraded to 4 inches, and it can be regarded as a more micro computer." Lin Qi said, holding a white gaming machine on the scene, "In order to save energy, the CPU still uses X8 chips. The battery is no longer an ordinary No. 5 battery on the market, but we have launched a dedicated whole nickel-hydrogen battery, which can charge a capacity of 2,000mAh, which is equivalent to two ordinary disposable batteries. Compared with traditional ones,

For charging No. 5 battery, since it is smaller and more reasonable, the storage capacity has also been greatly improved. The original ordinary No. 5 rechargeable battery generally has a capacity of between 300 and 1000mAh. Of course, it is more expensive to exceed 600MAH, and most of the average consumer buys 500MAH. In other words, the volume of our new battery was originally stuffed into two No. 5 batteries, but it is equivalent to the capacity of 4 rechargeable No. 5 batteries..."

"The larger battery capacity brings a natural improvement in battery life. However, we use a more power-consuming screen TFT-LCD screen, an academic name thin film transistor LCD display. This screen is the world's most technologically-containing LCD screen. It has higher resolution and richer colors than current TV screens. Of course, it saves points compared to CRT screens, but because of the higher resolution and more color display effects, it will definitely consume more power than black and white TN LCD. Therefore, we increase the battery life to hedge the increase in screen power consumption."

"So, let's open the screen now and see how it works..."

Afterwards, Lin Qi turned on the second generation of Zhang Entertainment, but there was a cartoon clip of "Avalon's Court" on the screen!

Although it only took a few dozen seconds, the audience was shocked. Because Lin Qi asked the staff to show the audience close-up.

After a while, Lin Qi said, "Are you shocked?"

"Yes!" the audience shouted.

"Sorry, this is a clip for display!" Lin Qi said regretfully, "In fact, the screen is already more advanced than the TV, but our handheld console is too small, so its ROM and chip cannot store such large-capacity film and television. So, I can only show you how shocking its pictures can be! It can be said that the best TV in the world is not as clear as this handheld console! In the future, if the TFT LCD area can be larger, it can become a better TV screen. Of course, if the semiconductor chip performance of portable handheld consoles will still develop according to Moore's Law in the future, it can be held in your hand to watch movies and listen to music. Now, you can only preview future clips, and temporarily need to be Equimoore's Law!"

Next, Lin Qi changed into a cassette and said, "The game displayed now is called "Pokemon"... This is a brand new color game developed to cooperate with the new handheld platform!"

Originally, "Pokemon" was the life-saving straw for Nintendo's handheld, just like Nintendo's host, which lasted for decades with the Mario series. Its handheld platform, when it got up early, it was bought the copyright of Tetris and won the world of blockbusters. In the middle and late stages, it mainly relied on "Pokemon" to bring its performance to its peak.

Since Lin Qi cut off Nintendo's future, of course, the creativity of "Pokemon" was also brought over.

Since the early Pokemons did not have high hardware requirements, the XRM8 processor could be used to carry games.

The main selling points of this game are to capture, cultivate, cultivate, and fight various pets, and long-term interactions with pets to improve the level of pets. In addition to single-player pet cultivation, the "network" function is also enabled.

The networking of the second generation of Zhangyu Entertainment is very simple. Each machine is equipped with a data cable that is both charging and data exchange. The two machines are connected to the network to connect the data cables. After that, the two can operate their pets to discuss the most battle with their friends.

The consequence of losing online is to lose the pet participating in the battle. Of course, if a friend is more generous, you can return the pet. However, after winning the pet of a friend, if you have the same pet, you can swallow the experience value of the defeated pet and increase the experience level of your pet. If you do not obtain such a pet, you can open a new card in advance.

Of course, even if you lose the pet after losing the battle, you can still do tasks on a stand-alone basis and randomly capture the same pet.

This version of "Pokemon" is not inferior to the Nintendo version No. 4, and may be more interesting. After all, this is not just a stand-alone game, but also a game that can be interactive online.

Since it is very difficult to raise the pets in this game, it can be cultivated for a long time. Even after raising a pet, there are more pets to be cultivated later.

The first generation provides 28 different types of pets. If you want to catch and cultivate them one by one, under normal circumstances, you may raise one pet to the maximum level in half a year. From elementary school to university, you can cultivate a teenager to grow up so that all these pets can be cultivated to the top level.

Of course, some owners are more wary and can gain experience by cheating online and devouring their friends’ pets. However, friends’ pets also require time to cultivate.

In short, this is a cultivation game that is not very difficult but very time-consuming and difficult to quickly complete.

The gameplay of "Pokemon" on the spot quickly made the audience crazy, because although the game is simple, it is as attractive as a god.

Every pet is cute. The interaction, combat and other systems are full of novelty and fun.
