Chapter 60: Speed USB

From the end of July to the end of August, in just one month, major domestic brands have launched their own feature phones, pseudo smart phone products, including the future famous manufacturers: Huawei, OPPO...

It is also interesting to say that these two brands are not in the same hurry as ZTE, Gionee, and Bird to launch pseudo-smart phones, but still choose button function machines, but they have made their own characteristics in terms of shape.

The products launched by Huawei belong to typical business feature phones,The size is large in the feature machine,And the appearance is very tough,There is also a capacitive screen on the front,You can take out a capacitive stylus from the upper right corner。

OPPO's products are still old-fashioned button feature phones, but in the design of the back panel, the unique smile + hidden camera will always be impressive.

Some brands are eager to launch new products to occupy the market, while some brands are not in a hurry at all and are still in a wait-and-see state, which is even more terrifying.

Because as soon as they appear, they are ripe to occupy the market, and they will not have the opportunity for other brands to react.

"The market is chaotic, there will be more disruptors soon, and the first-mover advantage of Stardust Technology will gradually disappear, but at present, we are still unique..."

Chen Zifan sighed slightly, and Zhao Wuxian immediately responded: "Our product line is more streamlined, and the sales of the two feature phones "Hai" and "Box" are not as good as the original, but they can also sell about 10,000 units a month..."

"Further reduce production capacity, clear the last inventory, and maintain it until June next year, after the release of Stardust 2, these two phones should be discontinued..."

"Understood, there is one more thing, Xinghua Zhixing, Lao Chen Dong said that their new electric car Chengfeng 2nd generation is ready, just the instrument assembly, when will we prepare?"

When Chen Zifan heard this, he scolded in his heart: "Damn, there have been too many things recently, I forgot about this matter, I have to go and see how the progress is."

The so-called instrument assembly is actually an LCD screen + Bluetooth module + management chip that can display more functions, which is not technically difficult for the current Stardust Technology, and can be made casually.

Chen Zifan is more concerned about whether the Stardust Network can free up manpower to improve the APP of Xinghua Zhixing, this project team was established very early, but many people have recently gone to the Stardust OS department.

There is no way, the number of engineers required for the development of Stardust OS is too large, and the requirements for professional ability are also very high, and the official side has also made a lot of efforts.

Some of the complicated and laborious development work was directly outsourced to the official engineers, who used the source code of Stardust OS to create a fully closed system, which was very effective in some security scenarios.

Chen Zifan went to the Stardust Network Building to take a turn and check the progress of the Xinghua Zhixing APP.

If there is nothing special in ordinary times, he really doesn't want to come to the Stardust Network Building, there are three floors of security alone, thanks to him being the chairman, and if an ordinary employee comes in, the identity information has to be verified several times.

After Chen Zifan found the project team and checked it briefly, he found that the completion degree of the Xinghua Zhixing APP was very high and it was ready to be put on the shelves at any time.

Now he was relieved, and went to other project teams to take a turn, and he also saw An He again in the game project team, this girl saw him when she saw him, the fierce light in her eyes seemed to be about to kill.

"What's the situation? Did you mess with her?"

Chen Zifan carefully recalled the recent contact between the two and felt that there was no problem... Then he shook his head and said in his heart: Women are really inexplicable.

In fact, it's just that the workload of the game project team has increased dramatically recently, and the modeling drawings provided by those domestic car manufacturers are more difficult to get together.

What to say: "I want that push-back feeling of kicking the accelerator down!" Do you know the feeling of pushing back? If you press this one, you're slow to start, right?"

"And this body line, is our car that ugly? A good coupe, you are stunned to make a ghost volcano village smell, change it for me!"

"The exhaust sound is not good, our sound is specially adjusted, and the floor oil is the best when it starts

Add a flamethrower, the kind that breathes blue fire!"

An He: ......

She really wanted to say, "Please, can you see what your car looks like in reality, I've tried my best to look at it, but it's ugly, what can I do?" Is it true that you can let yourself go in the game?"

In reality, everyone is submissive, and all of them hit hard in the game, and each one is more powerful than the other.

Chen Zifan did not understand these situations, and he chose to trust the technology of the engineers in the game project team.

I am so busy at work that I have to trot to drink water toilets, and all kinds of entertainment and play after work have become the daily state of Stardust Network, or the entire Stardust Technology employees, and it is actually quite good to get used to it.

After returning to Stardust Technology, Chen Zifan directly called Chen Jianjun's phone: "Hey? Dad, the instrument assembly is fine, how many cars are you going to produce? What? 1,000,000 units? Are you sure?"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Zifan was a little skeptical about life, producing 1 million electric vehicles? Is this still his dad who pursues small profits? Xinghua Zhixing has been so fierce recently? Has it become a brand electric car?

With curiosity, Chen Zifan took a look at Xinghua Zhixing's quarterly report, which is not known, and he was shocked when he saw it, Xinghua electric vehicles have occupied 48% of the electric vehicle market in China, and the shipments are huge.

"Damn, it's so fierce!"

It seems that the number of times I have gone out has decreased recently, if I go out a few more times, I will definitely be able to see the Xinghua electric vehicles that can be seen everywhere on Haicheng Road, the price is affordable, the battery is durable, and the shape is very fashionable and good-looking...

Coupled with the ban on motorcycles in the city, and when the weather is good in summer, it is not surprising that the sales of Xinghua electric vehicles are high, but their development model belongs to the profit dealers, so that dealers can sell products.

There are not many brand flagship stores of Xinghua Zhixing, and there is no need to build too many, and the advantage of benefiting dealers is that Xinghua Zhixing only needs to produce electric vehicles and advertise, and the brand expansion speed will be very fast.

The disadvantage is that the profits are low, and most of the money is earned by dealers, but this is not a problem at all in Chen Jianjun, who has been pursuing small profits, he has now figured it out, Xinghua Zhixing can earn it, and it can't be pulled down.

Anyway, I've earned enough in this life, and I'm not short of money, so what's the use of the rice overflowing in the barn?

This time, the pricing of Chengfeng 2 is relatively high, 1 million units are just smashed to try market feedback, and if the demand is large in the future, there will be another wave of production capacity.

Regarding the development of Xinghua Zhixing, Chen Zifan will not interfere too much, at most occasionally pay attention to what the recent situation is, publicize it in the Xingchen community, and rely on Chen Jianjun himself for the rest.

"LCD instrument, Bluetooth connection, recording of vehicle condition information, mileage, etc., keyless start... In fact, NFC keys are better than Bluetooth keys..."

However, there is no NFC function on Stardust 1,If there are no accidents in the next few generations of products,It may be only Stardust 3 series will be on,Stardust 3 series will be around 08 June,There will be more products at that time。

For example, Xinghan Zhixing's first new energy vehicle will be released in the same year as BYD F3DM and Tesla Roaer.

Another example is Stardust Technology's first smart watch... This is just a plan, whether the project can be approved depends on how MediaTek's chip is, if Helo does a good job, you can customize a watch version.

Now it is too far to mention these, with the entry of ZTE and other brands, the Chinese market is stunned that there are three forms of mobile phone products at the same time, such as button function machines, pseudo smart phones, and smart phones, and the confusion is extreme.

Even dealers with mobile phones don't know how to choose, except for Stardust 1, which is a unique model, and the rest of the money may lose money, so I can only pick some big names that have been advertised to sell.

Just when the mobile phone market is in chaos and genuine copycats are dancing wildly, Chen Zifan is already preparing the next generation of products, Stardust 2 and Stardust tablets are naturally very important, but there is a technology that is even more important:

"It's time to solve the problem of the charging port, I was preparing some time ago, but some USB technology and products have not been collected

I can't make a difference..."

After Zhao Wuxian helped collect the current mainstream USB technologies and products such as USB-A, Chen Zifan came to the core area of the Stardust Factory again and began to [analyze] its technology and products.

Then some documents appeared in his mind, all of which were the basic principles of USB technology, technical analysis, but these were not enough, and at most they could produce something similar to the existing product.

[Analysis copycat] can obtain a perfect USB technology foundation, and [synthesis and creation] can be further developed on this basis, and soon Chen Zifan will obtain a more powerful and perfect USB technology.

"The USB technology of the lv.30 is equivalent to the original full-featured Type-C technology, and you only need to upgrade it in the future, etc.? What kind of look is this?"

I saw that in the USB technology of lv.30, one end of it is not the flat oval C port in Chen Zifan's cognition, but a round port, similar to the round port of the 3.5 earphone, no, not the 3.5 interface.

Looking at this technology, Chen Zifan was silent at the time, and after looking closely, he found that although the diameter of the interface was 3.5, the depth was not as deep as that of the 3.5 earphones, and it was only about half the depth.

"The round mouth is straight out, but the 3.5 aperture is too large, and the direct strength is not enough to change the size, so the flat mouth is the majority, wait, hiss~ Can it still be like this?"

"With this technology, it can be transformed into a flat oval mouth similar to Type-C, but... Why should I bother to take such an extra step?"

Is it just to cater to a future that doesn't exist yet? Worried about the Type-C that hasn't been born yet? Or are you afraid that Stardust Technology's USB port will not be promoted? Can it be promoted if it is replaced with Apple's Type-C appearance in the future?

Because it is Apple's technology, coupled with the fact that there is indeed innovation, the flat mouth is more in line with the existing conditions, so it is promoted quickly, but as long as it can solve some of the defects of the round mouth, it is not impossible to use.

As a result, in the core area of the Stardust Factory, a project called "Godspeed USB" was born, aiming to create a more powerful USB interface that belongs to Stardust Technology.
