Chapter 44: Stitching the Chip
BALD can be developed by relying on part of the patents of Stardust Technology, and Anderson is already in cooperation with operators, and it is expected that a broadband + ifi package will be launched in the next 3 months.
But don't think about products such as routers, operators will eat up this part of the profits, and they don't lack factories that produce routers.
Stardust Technology also does not plan to participate, but some factories that cooperate with Stardust Mall will launch their own router products and put them on the shelves of Stardust Mall, which can be regarded as a wave of network development dividends.
Two months ago, Chen Zifan also wanted to promote a wave of Stardust 1 through the model of chain milk tea shops + free IFI, but the final situation was: Stardust 1 does not need to be promoted, but IFI needs to be popularized.
So just let BALD cooperate with Guanxia, and the cooperation of Stardust 1 has become incidental.
Regarding the so-called false propaganda, Chen Zifan directly notified the Ministry of Justice to live, and it was still the same sentence: If you have the ability to come up with evidence, if you can't produce evidence, spreading rumors and slandering others are all crimes.
"Say we're false? Please, how many of them are more honest than Stardust Technology in the whole of Huaxia?"
In addition to false propaganda, the most criticized for Stardust Technology is that it has no conscience, Chen Zifan also saw some long-winded posts on the Internet, scolding Stardust Technology from beginning to end for how to make black money.
Seeing that Chen Zifan was full of question marks, he couldn't help but wonder whose water army this was, is it so unprofessional? Stardust Technology doesn't make money, generates electricity for love?
The point of these people's attacks is that the accessories of Stardust 1 are too expensive, but accessories are not necessities, and third-party factories have also produced many substitutes, so it is too much to chase this thing.
Chen Zifan thinks that he has a clear conscience, the most expensive and high-tech product Stardust 1 has been priced at a lower price, if they can continue to scold, it will not be their problem.
"It is true that most domestic brands are not doing well enough, and the technology is not as strong as foreign brands, but there are always exceptions to everything, and it is better to be more tolerant..."
Then he turned off these things, and some ideological problems could not be changed in a short time, and Wang Jinli in terms of public opinion would deal with them.
The Internet is now one of the main turves of the Stardust Marketing Department, how can it be their turn to take the rhythm casually? If you want to bring it, it is also your own sailor belt~
There are also some TV stations that have sent invitations to Stardust Technology and even Chen Zifan's personal mailbox, and Chen Zifan did not hesitate to refuse the invitations to these TV programs, because there was no need.
With the current situation of Stardust 1, there is no need to rely on these TV shows to stir up the popularity, and some well-known brands like TV shows, not because they want to, but because they have no way.
Including sponsorship, the products are different, the marketing methods are also different, Xinghua Zhixing can sponsor some entertainment programs, Xingchen Technology is not, compared with commerciality, their scientific and technological attributes are stronger.
Chen Zifan also specially instructed Zhao Wushu and Wang Jinli, whether it is now or in the future, just advertise and market normally, and if there is really no way, you can also use the army to guide the public opinion war.
There is no need to do the rest of the things, the sales of Stardust 1 have far exceeded their initial expectations, Chen Zifan originally set a sales target of 10 million units, and now there are 30 million units of orders alone. ….
This is just the Chinese market, Chen Zifan has not yet directly expanded the idea of overseas markets, mentioning this, since yesterday, there are many foreign companies who want to get the agency of Stardust Technology.
But the regulations are different in each place, and Stardust 1 is the "first generation of smartphones" in China, and it may become half a brick directly when it goes abroad.
Therefore, Chen Zifan's instructions to Zhao Wuxian were: "Stand firm in the Huaxia market first, don't be in a hurry in the overseas market, and wait for Stardust 2 or Stardust 3 to come out before you can selectively expand foreign markets!"
Either you don't do it, or you have to be quick and ruthless, and you can only allow Apple to enter the Chinese market, and Stardust is not allowed to enter the European and American markets? Who doesn't know how many high profits international brands have swept away from China in recent years?
The saddest thing is that there are many times when it is not these internationals
The brand pits Chinese consumers, but their own people, and a good product has become a symbol of status under various marketing promotions.
This situation will intensify in the next 15 years, and the automotive industry has become the hardest hit area, but fortunately, Chen Zifan still has the opportunity to improve this situation and make the Chinese market better.
In the official channel of Stardust 1, the sales volume reached 820,000 units on the first day, and according to this trend, Stardust 1 may exceed 10 million units in a month, bloodbathing the entire Huaxia mobile phone market.
And there is official support behind Stardust Technology, under such conditions, the first to bear the brunt of the blow is a number of international brands led by Nokia, their branches in Huaxia have been completely messed up.
Stardust 1 caught them off guard, causing their 4000-level mobile phone sales to collapse off a cliff, and after this situation was transmitted to the head office, they also made a different policy.
First crack the software and hardware technology of Stardust 1, and then launch its own smart phone products, and finally seize the weakness of Stardust Technology is a new brand, and use the brand advantage to snatch back the market occupied by Stardust 1.
This is completely a real hard hit, as Chen Zifan thought, whether it is Nokia, Ericsson, or even Apple, they are not afraid of Stardust Technology to seize the opportunity, nor are they afraid of temporarily losing the market.
In their words, "There have been so many things like this in our careers! But every time we can turn the tide and turn a profit, this time is no exception!"
"It's just a Chinese brand, we want to be better than them! Whether it's a traditional phone or a smartphone, it's never a company that has the final say, and we can do better than them!"
Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola and other companies, as well as domestic mobile phone brands, as well as MediaTek, have all got a batch of commercially available versions of Stardust 1 and began to analyze it, and this research is really shocking.
Stardust 1 not only has a super high-quality full-fit touch screen, but also a lithium battery with perfect parameters, and the most important thing is that Stardust 1's chip... Looks like a stitched monster.
"What the hell is this?"
"When did MediaTek produce this chip? How did we never know?"
"Damn MediaTek! also lied to us that Stardust Technology only took a batch of mid-range chips, is this a mid-range chip? Shameful scam company!" ….
"No! I'll have to call them and ask them what the hell is going on with this chip!"
Don't talk about them, MediaTek's senior management is also confused, before the release of Stardust 1, they also swore that Stardust Technology only purchased a large number of mid-range chips, and as soon as Stardust 1 was released, their faces were swollen.
When one of the employees went to the Stardust press conference, he also said on the spot that if Stardust Technology could make a smartphone, he would eat two catties of I, and he is still doubting his life, and some people ridicule him every day, saying that he cheats on eating and drinking.
After MediaTek disassembled the "stitched chip" of Stardust 1, it was carefully studied and found that the core of this chip is really the mid-range chip they provide, but what is the outer layer?
"How did they manage to extend a normal chip? It's impossible!"
"Are our chips so fierce? This performance is directly doubled by 7 times! That's 7 times the TM!"
"Price increase! Price increase now! Cut off the supply first! As soon as I notified the foundry, I told the outside world that the factory was on fire, the supply of raw materials was insufficient, and there was no stock!"
"Don't take any orders lately! Send someone to contact Stardust Technology! The sooner the better! Let's just say there's a big deal to discuss! It's huge!"
"That's right! and then provide 1 million free to Stardust Technology... No, 2 million chips! Deliver the best chips! It's not the original mid-range!"
"Got it!"
After a series of instructions were issued, MediaTek was also busy with a pot of porridge, and the stitching monster chip in Stardust 1 simply refreshed their three views, and while they cracked it, they were still negotiating with Stardust Technology.
At the same time, they are also preparing to cut off the supply of chips to Huaxia brands, including Stardust Technology, which is also a kind of coercion, trying to negotiate with Stardust Technology
to gain greater benefits.
But the more they study the "stitched chips" of Stardust 1, the more afraid MediaTek's executives become, Stardust Technology knows more about their chips than they do.
To exaggerate, Stardust Technology is fully capable of replicating any of MediaTek's chips, which means that Stardust Technology's chip research capabilities are very likely to be above them, how can they not be worried?
If they get cooperation with foundries, and then promote smart machine chips... This will be a very big blow to MediaTek, so it is better to cooperate with Stardust Technology to see if it can seek new development.
Chen Zifan is also hesitant about MediaTek's invitation to negotiate, and there are two paths in front of him:
1. Directly build Stardust Technology's own chip production line through [Analysis Copycat] and [Synthetic Creation], which is very likely to be zai, and Stardust Technology lacks very critical high-end materials.
Second, don't be in a hurry to make your own chips, continue to cooperate with MediaTek, and jointly launch a new generation of smart phone chips, the best is still used by Stardust Technology, and the rest are sold to other mobile phone brands.
After a little hesitation, Chen Zifan was ready to choose the second path, first develop smartphones with the help of MediaTek, and then continue to develop his own technology, and finally produce the top chips that belong to Stardust Technology.
As for the chips created in cooperation with MediaTek, they can also be used in other products in the future, such as drones, projectors, Xinghua electric vehicles, etc.
After thinking about this, Chen Zifan sent Wang Jinli's small team and the negotiation team sent by MediaTek to communicate online and determined the cooperation time.
