"This..."

Then a "copycat lithium battery" technology appeared in Chen Zifan's mind, not smart, and even obvious loopholes, indicating that the level of lv.3 is not high, but these are not the point.

The point is that this technology is not only "detailed", but also completely "copycat", the final product is lv.3 lithium battery, but the patented technology involved is completely different, which is amazing.

Chen Zifan was not only shocked after fully understanding it, but also a little dumbfounded, can this be called a copycat?

The result is the same, the process is different, and it looks the same, but for many technology companies, this "process" is precisely the biggest obstacle, and there are too many patent barriers of all kinds.

Especially in terms of lithium batteries, if Stardust Technology can develop its own lithium battery technology, it will soon be able to fight its way out in the direction of new energy like CATL.

"The problem now is that CATL's battery technology is actually developed, while Stardust Technology's battery technology appears out of thin air, how can it become reasonable?"

Soon Chen Zifan found a solution, set up a laboratory, recruited R&D personnel, and divided them into groups, not knowing each other's R&D content, and even not knowing how many groups there were.

Finally, the technology is released little by little, and under the guidance of hard work, even the R&D personnel can mistakenly think that these are all developed by their efforts.

It seems to be a circle, time-consuming and laborious, but in fact, it is the safest way, and the cost and time of research and development can also be saved.

The lithium battery of lv.3 is not valuable, but what about the lithium batteries of lv.10, lv.20, and lv.Max? Don't look at what Musk says every day that patents hinder the development of science, and that is after Tesla's success.

Stardust Technology has just started, and it is not qualified to do something too challenging the rules of the industry, and at the same time, Chen Zifan also found that the [copycat point] has increased from 3219 to 3519.

"What can you do with a copycat?"

"Raise the level of the Stardust Tech building? Improve the learning and working ability of senior employees? Upgrading the level of copycat technology? And exchange funds? ”

"1:100, 350,000? It's okay too, but... Upgrading the building level will not bring about a direct change, but will provide a building plan..."

"Damn, do you still need me to build according to the architectural drawings? Do I have to spend my own money on construction? ”

"But it's a bit of a hassle if it spawns out of thin air... Build it yourself, build it yourself, and the cottage point can make a profit by analyzing the cottage technology and producing cottage products, with a ratio of 100:1..."

"Copycat points can also be obtained by obtaining new technologies through [Analytic Cottage], but different technologies and different levels are different."

That is to say, for every 100 yuan of profit earned by Stardust Technology through copycat products, it can get 1 copycat point, as for the rest, improve the learning and work ability of employees... What the hell is this?

As long as a normal person studies and works hard, it is an inevitable result to be promoted, unless the work he is engaged in has no room for improvement.

Just as Chen Zifan was thinking about these questions, an electronic synthesis sound came from his consciousness again:

【Drip——】

[The Stardust Technology Department was merged into the headquarters, and the Stardust Technology Factory was merged into the Stardust Factory]

[Stardust Technology (Headquarters) Lv.3]

(View Details)

Stardust Factory Lv.2

(View Details)

In this way, it is a lot more convenient, mainly because it is convenient to upgrade the level, and there is no need to go one department at a time, otherwise it will be too troublesome.

At the same time, Chen Zifan received a phone call: "Hey? Mr. Chen, the company name and trademark you arranged have been registered. New overalls and badges are also on the way, and they will arrive soon! ”

It's no wonder that the [Stardust Technology] in the consciousness will have a prompt, and it turns out that it will be automatically optimized after receiving feedback from reality.

The change of work clothes and badges is only because the transformation from Xinghua to Stardust is completed, so it is natural to have a new mentality.

Later, Chen Zifan spent another 2,000 copycat points to upgrade the Stardust Factory to lv.3, and began to purchase equipment according to existing needs, recruit R&D personnel, and it took a month to get on the right track.

The so-called "right track" is only temporary, and many people in Stardust Technology have a lot of complaints about him, the chairman who is only 18 years old, but unfortunately he doesn't care about these things.

Finally on July 10, Chen Zifan held a high-level meeting: "I don't like to just talk about it, I like to speak with practical actions." Yesterday, we successfully applied for 9 patents on lithium batteries and 7 patents on screens!

In the next year, the screen and lithium battery will be the main profit point of Stardust Technology, our advantage lies in the cost, and the price we offer is more advantageous under the same quality!

Our disadvantage lies in the lack of production capacity, and the production capacity of the Stardust factory restricts our actions, so Minister Wang, I need the marketing department to win new orders for our Stardust Technology as soon as possible!

There are three goals of this cooperation: Gionee, Coolpad, Tianyu, Gionee and Coolpad's Haicheng branch is our old customer, as for Tianyu... Their company's design department has a lot of potential! ”

Wang Jinli, the head of the marketing department, and Zhao Wuxian are also old employees of Xinghua Electronics Factory, and they have been in charge of marketing for a long time, and they have a lot of small actions, but they are quite capable.

At present, there is no candidate who can be replaced, Chen Zifan will turn a blind eye, sometimes right and wrong do not need to be too clear, and Zhao Wuxian was appointed by him as the CEO of Stardust Technology.

Many things are better than Chen Zifan for Zhao Wuxian, Zhao Wuxian's character is hard enough, but he is rigid and his ability is not top-notch, but this is not a problem for him.

Stardust Technology is not a big company now, and for the sake of safety, Chen Zifan spent another 500 copycat points to successfully upgrade Zhao Wuxian to [Senior Employee Lv.5], and the employee upgrade is relatively much cheaper.

And it can also be placed and upgraded, basically there is no need for Chen Zifan to pull out the seedlings to help him, and the cultivation of Zhao Wuxian is because he has no interest in managing the company, and professional things are left to professional people to do.

He only needs to do a strategic layout, and he led the R&D room to make 16 patents in a month, which has proven his ability, and with these two technologies, it is not difficult to make a profit.

As for the original Xinghua mobile phone... Except for some people who are still using it, basically no one has mentioned it, and the remaining hundreds of units are still thrown in the corner of a warehouse to eat ashes, and this product is not mentioned.

At this meeting, Chen Zifan did not mention his plan to enter the mobile phone market, firstly, the recent domestic mobile phone thunderstorm has suffered heavy casualties, and secondly, the company needs to make a profit to stabilize the army's morale.

The most important thing is that the failure of Xinghua mobile phone and various domestic mobile phone brands is in front of him, and he needs to be fully prepared to come up with a convincing development plan and a high-quality product.

Chen Zifan has a plan, and he even has a product design drawing, but he still needs some technology, as well as something other than the product:

"Cottage lithium battery lv.5, cottage screen lv.5, cottage bluetooth communication lv.5... Requires 9000 copycat points to upgrade Stardust Technology to Lv.5 first. ”

In terms of technology, you can directly [analyze the copycat], and you can save a copycat point, 9000 copycat points If the cooperation is smooth, you can earn it within two months, and the rest is much easier.

There is MediaTek's turnkey solution, and there is no need to worry about the system at all, not Symbian, not Android, but the Case (SKYEngine) system, which is used by almost all copycat phones.

Some domestic brands that use MediaTek chips are also using the Case system, Chen Zifan remembers that the peak of the Case system was in 2010, and all domestic mainstream mobile phones use the Case system.

Feature phones are different from smart phones, and the things that feature functions can do are very limited, even if Nokia's Symbian system is at its peak, it still can't stop Android, so there is no need to spend energy on developing feature phone operating systems.

But this does not mean that Chen Zifan will not prepare in advance, the feature machine is not the focus, the smart machine is, the importance of the operating system is very important in the future, so his plan has two steps: invest in research and development in advance, and analyze the copycat for my use.

Investment in R&D is fake, analysis of copycats is true, why spend so much effort on R&D? Directly copycat iOS and Android, the so-called investment in R&D is just a justifiable pretense.

"If a new brand wants to enter the mobile phone market, it is easiest to succeed when the old and the new are replaced, but there will also be a drawback, that is, it is easy to be labeled, such as Xiaomi's cost performance and dick silk machine."

Since Chen Zifan has returned to this era and has [Stardust Technology], what traffic hype, hunger marketing, and low-price tactics are still playing?

To do high-quality products, to do high-end, to develop technology, to come up with high-quality products, and to take the right path is what he wants, the difference in concept represents that Stardust and Xiaomi are completely different in the future.

"If Stardust Technology wants to enter the mobile phone market, the first product must have enough characteristics and target the segmented and popular mobile phone market, such as music mobile phones, such as Nokia 5710..."

A feature phone design from 17 years later, a feature phone that combines a mobile phone and a Bluetooth headset, Chen Zifan has also made some improvements on the basis of Nokia 5710.

The overall appearance of the color scheme is more youthful, and the design of the removable battery is also eliminated, which is a controversial selling point, but there are many advantages, not only to improve the overall texture of the product.

More importantly, it can shorten the replacement cycle, and by the way, it will advertise for the after-sales construction of Stardust Technology, and it is logical to launch some after-sales policies, such as free battery replacement within one year.

In this way, the after-sales reputation of Stardust Technology will gradually form, and in the era of domestic mobile phone melee that is not buried, good after-sales service will definitely be an important killer of Stardust Technology.

If you want to really do this, you need to develop step by step, and Wang Jinli on the other side has lived up to the trust and successfully won new orders:

"Gionee and Coolpad are old customers, and they did not hesitate to place an order of 800,000 screens and 260,000 lithium batteries after seeing our new products and quotations.

Their contract with the original supplier has not expired, but they are very impressed by our offer, give a cooperation order of 100,000 yuan, and say that there is an opportunity to increase cooperation in the future. ”

Chen Zifan returned to the headquarters immediately after receiving the news: "I know... Notify the production department to open the mold as soon as possible according to the customer's requirements. ”

As expected, the brand Tianyu is also an emerging brand, the capital is not abundant, and the cost of a screen and a battery is a little less, and their overall profits will be much higher.

The whole cooperation process is a matter of course, if this can't get the order, or if there is any accident, Chen Zifan should really consider whether there are any force majeure external factors to stop it.

Walking in the headquarters of Stardust Technology, I can feel that after getting the new order, many people are relieved, and the atmosphere of the company is gradually getting better, which is a very good phenomenon.

Chen Zifan silently estimated that he could discuss the "new project" with some company executives recently, and it would be fully announced within two months, and some of his energy would be transferred.

"I'm finally on the right track, I don't know how my parents are doing, and I'm about to fill in the volunteers, according to my college entrance examination results, there will definitely be no problem in applying to Haicheng University."

Going to college is just a formality, Haicheng University is very close to Stardust Technology, and it is foreseeable that he will not focus on college, and he may not even go to his usual classes.

As for his parents... Chen Jianjun has already contacted a few friends, all of whom are making copycat accessories, and they are chatting happily at this time: "I tell you, we will definitely make a good profit in this wave!"

It's too difficult to build a car, it's easy to build a motorcycle, we only need a few workshops to unite, we have accessories, Lao Xu has some channels, and we can sell as much as we produce!

I'm not bragging! Although the quality of our motorcycles is not good, the cost is really low! I only need a few hundred dollars cheaper than a big-brand motorcycle, and I'm not afraid that no one will come to buy it..."
