Chapter 21 The First Express

What does a courier company advertise?

And Stardust Express is also the exclusive express company of Stardust Technology, and it does not cooperate with some shopping platforms, which also needs to be promoted? I really need it!

First of all, the issue of recruiting employees, how many people read recruitment information from the Internet these days? Either it is an acquaintance's introduction, or a door-to-door inquiry, or a visit to the local talent market.

Stardust Express cannot be limited to a city like Haicheng, and then they will take Haicheng as the center and develop express delivery business to the capital in the north, Shicheng in the west, and Yuncheng in the south.

At the same time, Stardust Technology will also build Stardust branches in these three cities, and it needs to absorb a large number of employees, so it is natural to carry out a wave of in-depth publicity.

The second is to promote the "characteristics" of Stardust Express: excellent price, fast delivery, good service, the first two are easy to understand, and the last one also includes some other content, such as door-to-door service.

The so-called door-to-door service refers to maintenance, after-sales, installation and commissioning, etc., mobile phones do not need to be installed, but Xingchen Express can not only send mobile phones, but also send Xinghua Zhixing's electric vehicles, and there will be other products in the future.

If one day Stardust Technology really manufactures its own new energy vehicles, maybe it will have to rely on Stardust Express to deliver it, of course, these are still too far away, and there is no need to think about it so much for the time being.

In December, Stardust Technology entered a state of crazy work, and the sales of "Hai" also declined significantly compared with the previous month.

But it's just a drop in the bucket, in this year, a variety of designs emerge in an endless stream, other mobile phone manufacturers are not vegetarian, plus the "sea" does not reduce prices, and the decline in sales is also deserved.

Therefore, Chen Zifan put the focus of his work on the second product "box", and within a month, the Stardust Factory assembled the test machine and began to test the signal, drop, and battery life.

Among them, the drop test score is obviously worse than that of the "Sea", because the fuselage and back cover of the "Sea" are made of polycarbonate, while the back cover of the "box" is covered with glass.

As a result, it could not even pass the 1.5-meter drop test, and once it hit the corners, the entire glass cover would crack like a spider's web, and there was no remedy at all.

"Xiao Chen Dong, look at this..."

The staff of the laboratory took a "box" with a broken back cover, and handed it to Chen Zifan with an ugly face, who expected Chen Zifan not to be angry at all, but asked with a smile: "Does it feel good?" ”

"Okay, but..."

"What does it seem?"

"It's exquisite, it's high-end, it's ingenious, it's a good feeling, but..."

"It's nothing, you have to understand that high-end, sophisticated comes at a price!"

If it's broken, it's broken, it's a big deal to find an after-sales service to change a glass cover, if not, you can also buy the liquid silicone protective shell launched by Stardust Technology...

No matter how well polycarbonate is played, it can't be thrown from the sixth floor like Nokia, and it is always not as good as the combination of metal middle frame + glass cover, which is why Nokia gave up plastic.

But Nokia did not choose glass, but chose metal, all kinds of metal inside and out, the texture has come up, and the price has also risen.

After the "box" is tested in the Stardust factory, it can be sent to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology for a new round of testing and certification.

The conventional routine is still online Internet, TV, offline direct stores, authorized stores, LED large-screen advertising, and the scope of publicity has also expanded from Haicheng to the surrounding three cities, with a very strong purpose.

Chen Zifan was not surprised by the progress made by the "box", after all, it was a feature machine, and what surprised him the most was that Stardust Network had built the Stardust official website according to his requirements.

The overall interface style is very close to the official websites of major mobile phone manufacturers fifteen years later, including Stardust Technology information, its products, product introductions, etc., and the most important thing is online shopping.

Through the official website of Stardust and the third-party ant guarantee, you can place an order directly online, and the four cities of Haicheng, Beijing, Shicheng and Yuncheng can be delivered in just one day, and other cities are not available for the time being~

However, due to the fact that Stardust Technology and Stardust Express Branch are still under construction, the final opening time of Stardust's official website will be in early January next year, and after the New Year's Day holiday, it can be regarded as a new beginning.

——

1 January 2006.

On New Year's Day, whether it is Stardust Technology or Xinghua Zhixing, most of the employees are on vacation, and those who are left are either overtime freaks or special positions, only rotation, no fixed holidays.

The first batch of electric small three-wheelers that Chen Zifan needs have been sent over, and the overall performance is about the same as he expected, with a range of about 60 kilometers, the ride comfort is OK, and the driving experience is also passable.

To solve the preliminary work, Xinghua Zhixing only needs one day to produce 120 electric small three-wheelers, and it takes two days to solve the express delivery vehicle of Xingchen Express.

Chen Jianjun also took this opportunity to go back to his hometown, and had a dinner with some cousins and friends.

"Second brother, you made a lot of money by opening a factory, right? Why don't you play with the whole imported car? And drive that Santana? What's the point of that kind of car? ”

Chen Jianjun waved his hand, and there was some alcohol on his head: "What's wrong with Santana?" Transportation! Imported Cars... What about imported cars, no matter how good they are? Xiao Fan said that one day we will build our own car! ”

"Hahaha..."

A table of people suddenly burst into laughter, and a bald man with a wrinkled face slapped the table and shouted: "You can also believe the words of the stinky boy!" I still wanted to build a tank..."

"Build a car? If you don't have that strength, don't wade into this troubled water, it's useless! Can't beat the imported brand... Don't lose all your property at that time! ”

"Domestic cars just don't work! A bunch of mud can't hold up the wall, everyone is the same! I said it! ”

"You cow!"

“……”

——

Although there are 3 days of New Year's Day holiday, many employees have returned to work on January 3, and at the same time, the training of Stardust Express has also reached the last stage:

"Everyone, do you understand the scope of your responsibility? If you can't find something, take out your workbook and look it up from the map above, the way I taught you..."

In fact, the first batch of couriers of Stardust Express have already recruited locals who are very familiar with Haicheng, but just in case, Chen Zifan still asked for a professional map for everyone.

In addition to Haicheng, some counties under Haicheng have also built some small sub-stations and assigned a few couriers to the past, and the same is true for other cities, recruiting almost all local couriers.

No way, who let you not navigate?

There are three kinds of vehicles for Stardust Express, one is a medium-sized van, which is used for cross-city transportation, the other is an ordinary Dandan car, which travels between cities and counties, and finally an electric small three-wheeler.

These cars have all been transformed to a certain extent, and the bodies dyed with black backgrounds are all printed with white Stardust Technology/Express logo, which is equivalent to a mobile signboard and can play a certain publicity effect.

There is also a familiar face mixed in the ranks of couriers: Zhou Youdong, this guy is really unlucky, he just resold the "sea" for a few days, but he was cut off by a local mobile phone dealer in Beijing.

Then the Huaya Building in the capital also opened a Stardust authorized store, and he only earned 3,000 yuan and didn't make any money, and when he complained about it with netizens, he saw the publicity of Stardust's official website.

"Holy, online shopping?"

Can that be reassured? That's not a few dollars, it's thousands! Free shipping and compensation? Who knows if it's real or fake? Delivered in one day? Door-to-door delivery? Is it so fast? There is also the option of cash on delivery...

But whether it is online payment or cash on delivery, you have to complete a more cumbersome real-name authentication, other platforms dare not do cash on delivery, Stardust Technology dares to do it, and it is not afraid of people buying orders.

It's a big deal to run more, as long as most of them are normal consumers, the express delivery industry is okay, the worst should be the sharing industry, such as the first shared bicycle, it's really a little...

People don't know what to say, the car was maliciously vandalized, and even dragged back to their own home...

What's the point?

Just when Zhou Youdong was discussing this matter with netizens, another group friend posted a recruitment poster for Stardust Express, and Zhou Youdong didn't think about it and directly killed Stardust Technology, but he didn't expect to be selected.

On New Year's Day, others are on holiday, they are training, the first day of work, leisurely, because no one places orders from the Internet, and there are few delivery tasks every day, but they still have to go out.

There was no delivery of goods, wearing a courier uniform, driving an electric small three-wheeler of Stardust Express in the area he was responsible for, walking around the streets and alleys, stopping and stopping along the way, and many people took the initiative to ask him:

"Hey, little brother, I see you driving this car, what do you do?"

Zhou Youdong was speechless at the time, can't you see the four words that Stardust Express is so big? However, he still patiently explained: "Oh~ We are delivering couriers, couriers from Stardust Express." ”

"What is a courier?"

"It's just... You buy something from the internet, we deliver it to your home! You don't have to go out! Also, we can help you deliver things, just like the post, but much faster than the post! ”

"Oh~"

They understand it as soon as it is explained, but the publicity effect is limited, and Zhou Youdong doesn't understand why there are so few people who buy mobile phones online, and Stardust Technology still wants to open a courier company, aren't you afraid of losing money?

Chen Zifan is really not afraid, the Stardust Express in the early stage may lose money, but it may not be the case when the first smartphone of Stardust Technology is launched, because "Dust OS" comes with an official mall-

"Stardust Mall!"

There are not only the main products and official accessories of Stardust Technology, but also some cooperative manufacturers: such as Xinghua Zhixing's electric vehicles that have not yet been listed, and electronic products of good quality from other manufacturers~

These electronic products include radios, repeaters, MP3s, etc., of course, it is impossible for other brands of mobile phones to be put on the shelves of Stardust Mall, and the entire Stardust Mall will also have obvious priorities.
