Regarding battery and LCD production lines, Wang Jizhi recommended purchasing Panasonic batteries and Sharp STN LCDs.

Panasonic batteries were incredibly powerful in the 1980s, and were synonymous with high quality and low price. Of course, European and American battery technology might be more advanced, but they might not sell their production lines.

Sharp's STN technology has the advantage of low power consumption, making it highly energy-efficient and ideal for handheld game consoles and pagers at present. However, compared to FTF LCDs, STN has slightly lower resolution and color reproduction, but FTF LCDs have the highest manufacturing cost and the most demanding requirements for polarizers.

At this stage, Wujiang Group will first acquire the STN LCD production line, absorb its technology, and then develop FTF technology.

Rex Eden soon traveled to Japan on behalf of Wujiang Group to negotiate the purchase of the production line.

At the same time, Nintendo also learned that Wujiang Group was preparing to release a game console in Japan.

In the office of the president of Nintendo.

Hiroshi Yamauchi coldly put down the relevant information about the "Qiongqi Home Game Console".

"Wujiang Group is overestimating itself, daring to enter the home video game console market! Compared to our Nintendo FC, it's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; it will ultimately face annihilation!"

Hiroshi Yamauchi only saw the "Qiongqi Home Game Console" information on paper. Although the information mentioned that the "Qiongqi Home Game Console" had very powerful performance and its game graphics surpassed those of the Famicom (FC), Yamauchi was unconvinced. He reasoned that Sega and other companies had developed home game consoles with more powerful performance than the FC, but what were the results?

FC still holds a dominant position!

Whether a home video game console will be popular or not depends mainly on the games it offers.

In this respect, Wujiang Group certainly cannot match Nintendo.

Not to mention that Nintendo itself has released many globally popular games, the number of third-party games on the FC platform alone is enough to crush the "Qiongqi home game console".

"Pass down the order: no game developer is permitted to develop games for the 'Qiongqi Home Game Console'! Otherwise, the games cannot be released on the FC platform!!!" Hiroshi Yamauchi said to his secretary.

When a lion hunts a rabbit, it uses its full strength.

Hiroshi Yamauchi had zero tolerance for challengers and was determined to crush them to death!

Without third-party game developers creating games for it, can the "Qiongqi Home Game Console" still sell well?

...

The Japanese gaming industry is not a large circle, and the news that Wujiang Group is about to release the "Qiongqi Home Game Console" has already spread like wildfire.

However, everyone just watched it as a joke.

No one is foolish enough to risk offending Nintendo by joining the ranks of "Qiongqi home video game consoles".

To date, most Japanese game developers have avoided the "Qiongqi home console".

Only those poorly made games that couldn't be released on the FC platform would extend an olive branch to the "Qiongqi Home Game Console".

But why would Wujiang Group possibly be interested in a game developer like that?

Zhao Ye knew how Atari, the American company, collapsed.

Because Atari only cared about making money and neglected the quality control of games, a large number of poorly made games appeared on the Atari game console platform, which aroused public anger and led to Atari's decline.

Zhao Ye doesn't expect to attract third-party game developers from the start.

Where the phoenix soars high, the butterfly will surely come; where the flowers are fragrant, the butterfly will naturally arrive.

If we plant the "Phoenix Tree" of the "Qiongqi Home Game Console," why worry that the phoenix won't come?

...

Shanghai Animation Film Studio.

At this moment, in addition to producing the Pokémon anime, the studio also established three new projects: producing anime versions of Dragon Quest, The Legend of Zelda, and Final Fantasy.

The studio had over 800 animators, many of whom were recent college graduates, but college students at that time were all truly talented.

Including Pokémon, Shanghai Animation Film Studio is currently producing four animated series simultaneously.

"The Shanghai Animation Film Studio hasn't been this busy in a long time. There are more and more new people in the studio, full of vigor and vitality. It's just around the corner to rebuild the studio's former glory!!!" Director Xu Xiangming exclaimed excitedly.

Zhao Ye sat to the side, leisurely sipping his tea. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but smile slightly and say, "Actually, making animated films is quite profitable. It's just that the Shanghai Animation Film Studio didn't find the right direction before. The studio wanted to make money through animated films, but it has proven to be completely unworkable. Japanese animated films are given away to our television stations for free. How can you compete with them?"

After a pause, Zhao Ye laughed, "But selling toys through animated films can be incredibly lucrative. Although piracy is rampant in China, the Shanghai Animation Film Studio can get a piece of the pie, since piracy takes time. Then there's the export of animated films. As the old saying goes, 'If the enemy can go, so can we.' Since Japanese manufacturers give away their animated films to our national television stations for free and then make money by selling toys, we can naturally give away our animated films to Japanese television stations for free and then make money selling toys there too!"

"You just don't value the development and utilization of copyrights. Since its establishment, the Shanghai Animation Film Studio has produced countless classic works. If we had made good use of these animated films, we wouldn't have suffered losses year after year."

Zhao Ye sighed as he finished speaking.

However, this also gave him the opportunity to take over the Shanghai Animation Film Studio.

Factory director Xu Xiangming smiled bitterly, realizing that he and his colleagues were too short-sighted to have thought of such things.
