Wujiang Company has changed the name of its home game console brand: Qiongqi 1.
Playing games can be addictive, leading to a decline in academic performance and a loss of focus on studies. Therefore, parents generally do not support their children playing games, and may therefore boycott this particular game console brand.
Therefore, Zhao Ye decided that the Imagine brand would no longer be used for home game consoles.
Qiongqi is one of the four fierce creatures in ancient Chinese mythology.
Using this brand can also help promote Chinese mythology.
In addition, the name "Qiongqi" is easy to remember when advertising, for example: Qiongqi Game Machine, endless fun!
Zhao Ye had a powerful image designed for Qiongqi as a logo. It looked like a tiger, was the size of an ox, and had a pair of wings...
The Shanghai Animation Film Studio designed more than ten characters, and Zhao Ye chose a Qiongqi that was all white. As soon as the computer is turned on, the logo will light up automatically, just like an Apple MacBook laptop.
The "Qiongqi Home Game Console" has a simple and stylish appearance. Unlike the flashy Famicom (FC) which resembles a spaceship, it is a square box available in glossy black and silver-white. Game cartridges are inserted from the right side of the console and completely disappear into the box. To remove the game cartridge, simply press the button on the side, and the cartridge will pop out, making it easy to take out, much like inserting a SIM card into a mobile phone.
On the left side of the "Qiongqi Home Game Console" are two controller ports. Because Nintendo has licensed the D-pad, Wujiang Company can only use a circular D-pad. The circular directional pad has raised crosshairs, making it quite intuitive for blind operation. Zhao Ye's design is almost a carbon copy of the Microsoft Xbox Elite controller; the two aren't entirely unrelated, but they're practically identical. Okay, it's a direct copy of that controller.
The rear of the "Qiongqi Home Game Console" features a power cord interface and video/audio output interfaces.
However, Zhao Ye's favorite design is the top of the game console, where the Qiongqi logo lights up, giving it a high-tech feel and making the brand logo memorable.
After more than a year of development and improvement, the "Qiongqi Home Game Console" boasts extremely powerful performance. Moreover, the Kirin 1 chip itself is significantly more powerful than other 8-bit chips.
Today, the exclusive game cartridges for the "Qiongqi Home Game Console" are equipped with an MMC chip that enhances game graphics. Undoubtedly, in terms of graphics, the "Qiongqi Home Game Console" can easily crush the FC (Famicom). Of course, graphics aren't the key to victory; whether the game is fun is what truly matters.
After recruiting and providing basic training, the Shanghai Wujiang factory began trial production.
Zhao Ye has great confidence in the "Qiongqi Home Game Console" and its various accompanying games.
Therefore, the factory's production target is to produce 1.5 million "Qiongqi Home Game Consoles" per month.
If the game console market becomes saturated in the future, we can simply reduce production; it's not a big deal. We can just flexibly adjust production schedules.
Just as the "Qiongqi Home Game Console" was about to enter mass production, Wujiang Company needed to do a good job in the preliminary work.
The first step is to establish sales channels.
Zhao Ye doesn't plan to release the "Qiongqi Home Game Console" in China. It's not that Chinese people can't afford it, but games can easily lead to distraction and a loss of focus. Let the Japanese and Westerners play it. The children of our motherland should focus on their studies and strive for excellence. Perhaps, in the future, Wujiang Company will release an educational machine to help people practice simple programming skills.
Another reason is that the stock of the "Qiongqi Home Game Console" is limited, and tens of millions of home game consoles may be sold in the Japanese and American markets alone.

rb, Akihabara.
Geo is one of the largest retailers in Japan. Wang Anshi flew to Japan to discuss cooperation with Geo.
"Mr. Kimura, our Wujiang Company is about to launch a home game console. I wonder if your company would be interested in distributing this product?" Wang Anshi asked directly.
Sitting opposite him was Mr. Koji Kimura, the president of Geo Corporation. He was bald, had a big belly, was short, and had an unremarkable appearance, but he was very arrogant.
Upon hearing that Wujiang Company was preparing to launch a home game console, he instantly lost interest and said dismissively, "Nintendo's game consoles almost monopolize the market. Even Sega can't beat them. How could your Wujiang Company's game console possibly compete with them? I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, you should find another company to distribute this game console!" With that, Koji Kimura stood up and took his leave.
"Mr. Kimura, please wait a few more minutes. Why don't you take a few more minutes to look at the game console our company has developed? Its performance is much more powerful than the FC. Perhaps you will change your mind!" Wang Anshi said, trying to persuade him to stay.
Koji Kimura waved his hand and scoffed, "Mr. Wang, I don't think it's necessary to waste my time!"
After saying that, he opened the door and left.
As GEO is a partner of Nintendo, Koji Kimura doesn't want to offend Nintendo by cooperating with GEO.
Wang Anshi's expression turned cold, and he said, "Mr. Kimura, you will regret this!"
Upon hearing this, Koji Kimura couldn't help but laugh. "Regret? Heh, how ridiculous, you overconfident fool!"
Undeterred, Wang Anshi continued to negotiate partnerships with other retail chains.
Perhaps Nintendo is too dominant in Japan, as many retailers refuse to cooperate with Nintendo.
