When Zhao Wuxian saw the planning plan of the Stardust 1 limited edition, he also put forward an opinion: "The bamboo version is only a 16GB version, and it is still sold at 4199 yuan, but in this way, there must be users of the standard version who are not satisfied.

So we can launch a bamboo rhyme version of the mobile phone case, or we can enjoy the custom Stardust OS theme, put on the phone case from a distance, and the bamboo rhyme version is no different, the mobile phone case is still sold for 99 yuan!"

Chen Zifan: ???

It's got to be you! Good guys, this wave of leeks is cut, ostensibly selling the bamboo rhyme version of Stardust 1, but in fact it is to sell mobile phone cases... It's not impossible to really come out, but the texture of the phone case will be worse.

Since there is no manual link, it is all produced by machines, and the details are definitely not in place, but after all, it is a product of Stardust Technology, no matter how bad it is, it is not far behind.

After it was determined, the mobile phone case supplier began to work overtime to select bamboo, and also invited a few bamboo weaving masters, and began to produce after transforming a wave of machines.

But after all, it was supported by Stardust Technology, even if Chen Zifan wanted to make a "vacuum engraving embossed retro ivory phone case", they would have to find a way to make it.

Inside the Stardust Factory, workers began to polish the bamboo backs after being trained, and Chen Zifan only gave them two and a half months of processing time.

Considering the loss problem in the actual process, it is really difficult to produce 100,000+ bamboo rhyme version of Stardust 1 before November, if nothing else, this batch of products will be listed in December ~ January.

Chen Zifan doesn't know when the Apple 1 will be launched, and he can only prepare early, but Nokia has prepared the Nokia N85 equipped with the new version of the Symbian system, and wants to rush to the market.

Seriously, the four physical function keys of this product after sliding on the side, plus the large screen on the front, and the buttons below that are more in line with people's traditional perception of the design style of mobile phones, its sales cannot be low.

This is like the various huge gear machines of the steam age, although they have been eliminated, they will still have their unique charm and attract some people.

In this era of replacement of feature phones and smart phones, Nokia N85 may be their last glory, and Chen Zifan can be regarded as seeing the end of the empire again, and the next moment is the new king ascending the throne.

Taking advantage of the production period of the Zhuyun version of Stardust 1, Chen Zifan also began a wave of expansion and upgrading of the Stardust factory, which was to expand the production capacity of the existing business and leave room for new business.

For example, the new energy vehicle project of Xinghan Zhixing, the promotion of this work is destined to be very difficult, from products to infrastructure, each content will cost a lot of manpower, material resources, social resources...

The upgrade is to make the layout of the existing business more reasonable, semi-automation upgrade, from electronic waste recycling to raw material sales, lithium battery processing, to motor research and development and production, to mobile phone factories, new energy vehicle factories, and make reasonable use of each machine.

Many people will think that how can automobile processing be related to mobile phones? In fact, the two are very closely related, for example, in the future, OO's star diamond and star rain lithography will use BYD's technology and factory.

In addition to the expansion and upgrade of the Stardust Factory, the foundation construction of the [Stardust Blueprint] should also continue to be completed, which has been stuck at 5% progress before, and now it can be improved by a wave, just increase it to about 10% first. ….

"In this way, it is another investment expenditure of nearly 2 billion... His grandmother's, this money can't help but be spent, but fortunately, the net profit level of Stardust 1 is relatively high..."

After Stardust 1 was launched on June 11 to September 20, a total of 13.6 million units have been sold in more than three months, with an average net profit of 1,106 yuan per unit.

The cost of raw materials is low, or even close to zero cost, and after recycling e-waste, some unused raw materials can be directly wholesaled at the market price or a lower price to offset the cost of purchasing waste.

R&D investment is also low, if it is not for cover, Stardust Technology's technology R&D can even reach 0 cost, and there is no cost recovery, and the rest is only manpower, operation, taxes, etc.

All things considered, Stardust 1 is at the most

It is not surprising that the starting price of the low configuration is controlled to less than 4000, and the net profit margin can be increased to such a high level.

When expanding and upgrading the Stardust Factory and laying the foundation, Chen Zifan also became curious about some of the contents in the [Stardust Blueprint]: "What is this big ring for? Just to look good?"

Then he noticed that a (see details) inscription appeared directly below the large circle in his consciousness: "You can add power generation equipment, integrate solar, wind, and heat energy to generate electricity through a converter..."

Chen Zifan: ......

At first glance, it looks very good, but in fact, it is useless for the current Stardust Technology, the level of science and technology cannot be reached, and the high-level integrated generator cannot be built at all, and the manufacturing cost must be very high.

"Hey, let's develop honestly, don't think about these things first, this is the basic drawing, and there may be some strange things in the back."

During the expansion and upgrading of the Stardust factory, Mo Shaokun specially came to the scene as a contractor foreman, and also brought a few small partners.

Wang Jinli didn't say a word and passed by, and he mingled with the second generation in the afternoon, in his eyes, where is this rich second generation, it is simply a walking ATM, sending money and resources.

Several second-generation pampered people, everyone is not shallow in knowledge, but they can't stand Wang Jinli flickering, and a big brother follows him the next day.

This kind of interpersonal skills, Chen Zifan is ashamed of himself, but Mo Shaokun is obviously not at the same level as those people, and he has another important thing to say to Chen Zifan while supervising the work:

"I have seen the new energy vehicle you designed, the idea of a two-door car is good, if it can be produced, it must be very exquisite, to your standards, the cost of that car cannot be only 40,000 yuan."

Chen Zifan: ???

"No, I've done the math, we're at least still producing the full set... Wait!"

Chen Zifan only then remembered that he ignored an important factor: new energy subsidies, and the cost of lithium batteries disclosed by Stardust Technology is not the same thing as the actual cost, so there is a calculation bias.

Mo Shaokun also took the opportunity to put forward his own opinion: "I think if our positioning can be improved a little more... Reaching the price range of 79,900~99,900, the product will be better and the operation space will be larger."

Having said that, but 79,900 can buy a lot of oil cars, and 99,900 can buy Japanese cars that are durable in people's eyes, why buy a new energy tram? And it's a minicar? ….

"What is the cost you calculated?"

"Hmm... In the early stage, 50,200 units, the cost will be reduced to about 48,000 when the production capacity goes up, but the premise of the production capacity is that the sales volume must be high!"

"According to the existing standards, an entry-level mini car, there is no need to do everything, there are trade-offs, I ask you, do you want to make a 99,900 luxury car or your B-class coupe?"

"Of course... I see."

Mo Shaokun also reacted at once, his old mistake was made again, the drawings provided by Chen Zifan were actually not too much of a problem, but he was used to luxury cars, and he always felt that the products above were a little too simple.

The cost he calculated is actually not much of a problem, but Stardust Technology's lithium battery production capacity is stable, the technology is more mature, and the cost is low, and it will be about 3,000 yuan lower than the cost of the whole vehicle he calculated.

If you can strive for some more subsidies, the cost will be lower, and then based on Xingchen direct stores and Xingchen Express, starting from first-tier and quasi-first-tier cities, it is enough for each city to build 1~3 brand direct stores.

As for the question of sales... That's not what should be considered now, the early stage of the new energy vehicle project is a loss of money, and it would be good to keep the investment cost.

Develop for a period of time, wait for the infrastructure to be built, and then start from Haicheng when the time is ripe, and harvest the fuel vehicle market one by one to promote new energy vehicles.

If nothing else, Xinghan Zhixing's first new energy vehicle will be launched at the same time as the Stardust 3 series, and it will bring some differences

Something like that.

In the two months of the end of September ~ the end of November, the sales of Stardust 1 have always been as stable as an old dog, during which the parts suppliers on the other side of the sea saw that the suppliers of the Stardust ecological chain were developing too fiercely, and hurriedly continued to sell products.

As a result, Huaxia mobile phone manufacturers didn't buy it at all, in addition to the pressure from the suppliers of the Stardust ecological chain, the official also played a considerable role in it, what kind of stuff will not be sold? Then don't sell it at all.

I have no choice but to continue selling, but after such a release, their orders for components and sensors have plummeted, and now their repentant intestines are green...

Your sister, if you want to sell it, you won't sell it, and if you want to sell it, you have to sell it, how can there be such a good thing in the world?

At the end of November, Chen Zifan finally received a long-lost good news, that is, MediaTek's chip tape-out was successful, and two chips were brought:

In addition to the Dimensity 200, there is also a HelioP20, and in order to be consistent with the Dimensity 200, the MediaTek HelioP20 also skipped the P10 chip.

And ready to declare: "Our products have been developed for two generations and are very reliable!"

The performance level of HelioP20 is equivalent to about 65% of that of Dimensity 200, which is a little weaker than the stitched chip on Stardust 1, but it is cheaper and is estimated to become the first choice of many domestic mobile phone manufacturers.

After all, the current Hongqi OS has also been developed for a period of time, and some powerful domestic mobile phone manufacturers have made a UI that can be used commercially, although it is a little simpler, but it can also be regarded as entering the ranks of smart phones.

At the same time, 100,000 units of the bamboo rhyme version of Stardust 1 have also been completed overtime, in addition to the back cover, the charger, charging cable, and packaging box have all been customized and redone, which is more in line with the theme of the bamboo rhyme version.

On the other hand, Apple 1, which had been polished for two months, finally barely met Jobs's request, and they immediately released the news and gathered a large number of media.
