Chapter 227: Layout (II)
In the face of Chambers's gaze, no matter how beautiful the market described by this guy and how firm his personal will is, Wang Zhengguo still does not give any positive support.
"The game industry is indeed promising, and it is an industry that will definitely catch fire in Japan and the United States, but this is the Republic, and the special national conditions lead to the game industry not being recognized by the mainstream of society in a short period of time, because it is too easy for people to indulge, which is not allowed in our country. ”
Before he finished speaking, Chambers was about to refute, he couldn't understand why Wang Zhengguo had such an idea, the game industry is reasonable and legal in Europe and the United States, it is impossible....
However, someone didn't seem to give him a chance to speak, and continued: "Of course, I'm not optimistic about the computer game business, it doesn't mean that I am opposed to adding entertainment attributes to the Yaoguang 1 computer, there is no conflict between the two, and entertainment includes too many things." ”
"Entertainment" is a big category, but anything that can make people feel physically and mentally happy seems to be summed up in the entertainment industry, including midnight events.
The topic is a bit far, and besides, in the Republic of the 80s, what was the most popular entertainment for young people?
At this time, I grabbed a young man on the street and asked him what entertainment was the most popular at the moment, and it was definitely a video hall.
At this time, various types of movies from Xiangjiang began to be introduced to the mainland in the form of videotapes, and they became popular in the streets and alleys of the country for a while.
The sudden popularity of the video hall is naturally due to the fact that it exists because it meets the needs of the masses for film and television entertainment culture.
In the 80s and 90s, open-air movies often attracted people more than 10 kilometers away, and it was an ironclad fact that a family in the countryside bought a television and the whole village watched it.
Thinking of these situations, Wang Zhengguo's eyes are really hot, what a big piece of cake, if he can't grab it and eat it in his mouth at this time, how long will he wait?
Walking slowly to Chambers's side, looking at this somewhat impatient expression, he patted his shoulder very seriously, as if he Wang Zhengguo was older than Chambers, but with a little force, he directly pressed the person back to his seat and sat down.
At this time, the time has come for Wang Zhengguo: "In the land of the Republic, if you really want to consider the entertainment equipment market, I think it is better to study more home audio-visual equipment, which is more acceptable to the public and has more face." ”
Using a computer to watch video images is simply not too normal after 2000, and the VCD market war that broke out in the Republic in the 90s shows that ordinary families in the Republic have a strong market demand for this kind of home audio-visual equipment.
In the 80s, if you wanted to own a TV, you probably could get it in various ways, because at this time, major factories were already engaged in large-scale production.
However, the TV can only watch fixed TV channels,And some other needs,If you want to watch recorded TV series、Movies,The solution can only be to use a video recorder,And this video recorder market,At this time, it has basically been monopolized by small book manufacturers。
The monopoly of Japanese manufacturers in video recorders, this is not only from the technical aspect, but also directly from the standard customization of all possible competitors, other newcomers want to produce similar products, it is almost impossible.
The reason why the Republic of China in the 90s was able to toss around twice on home audio-visual equipment was due to the introduction of VCD, a new technology and new standard, and only when the standards and technologies were not stuck by Japanese manufacturers, did this improve to a certain extent.
Since the video recorder industry in the 80s has not been able to go through, and VCD-related technology has not yet been made, Wang Zhengguo naturally does not mind taking a step in place and directly integrating the needs of Chinese people for home audio-visual equipment into the computer.
Anyway, in the next step of the plan, the size is to develop graphic display technology, but it is just to integrate the audio output, just a sound card!
Since even Han cards and graphics cards have to be made, and then a sound card with a lower technical content, it's really not a big deal.
Someone's sudden idea is just a fantasy, but it doesn't seem impossible to do when you think about it, and it's actually technically solvable.
Chambers, who has been fooled, was confused, and this guy was poured into ecstasy soup, and he was about to be shocked immediately.
He trembled a little when he spoke excitedly: "It is also a very good idea to let the computer play the role of a home audio-visual equipment, no, this is a very good idea! It just so happens that the market demand for television sets in the Republic of China is increasing, and we should seize the opportunity to directly replace the role of television sets." ”
Directly replacing part of the TV market with computers is Chambers's most direct response to Wang Zhengguo's Yaoguang computer improvement plan, and it is also the most bold and bold plan he has given.
As for what level of cost will be reached, it is probably not what he is considering now, anyway, he has already thought about it, this is a product positioned in the high-end market.
A large display, fast access to mobile audio, high-quality sound, the power of a computer, and strong compatibility are perfect.
In fact, as early as the 70s, after the popularization of VCRs in Europe and the United States, the concept of home theater has gradually begun to take shape, and what Chambers and Wang Zhengguo want to do this time is to make the concept of home theater more compact and more powerful.
"The future of the computer will definitely be able to eliminate the TV, this is the trend of historical development, we just follow the historical trend, as long as Yaoguang Electronics goes on this road, there is no reason not to succeed. ”
finally fooled people to the right path, as long as Chambers didn't always think about tinkering with computer games, Wang Zhengguo's hard work was not in vain.
As for whether Yaoguang computer can really be made into a plan, Wang Zhengguo has no doubts, anyway, these are the inevitable development of computers in the future, and this step will have to be taken sooner or later, it doesn't matter in order.
In July 1984, after Wang Zhengguo and Chambers each performed the big trick, they finally compromised, which set the direction of the subsequent upgrade of Yaoguang computer.
But they never expected that at this time, someone had already begun to use their brains on the external interface of the Yaoguang computer, and a Nintendo FC game console cartridge was inserted into the external card slot interface of the Yaoguang computer.
Even though the computer failed to read the game cartridge information due to compatibility reasons, when the young man got the cartridge compatible interface technology announced by Yaoguang Electronics, everything seemed to fall into place.
