Chapter 66: Being both a player and a referee
Many mobile phone manufacturers contacted them as soon as they ended MediaTek's global conference, ready to continue to establish a cooperative relationship, and the fire is extinguished, and it is time to continue to sell chips to them, right?
As a result, the reply was: "The production capacity of the Dimensity 200 is insufficient, mass production will not start until March next year, and it will be launched by Stardust Technology, you might as well take a look at the Helio P20, it is really good..."
"Not a bad yarn! Isn't this the castrated version? Really when we can't understand the press conference? β
"But the Helio P20 is cheap, only 35% of the Dimensity 200, but 65% of the performance..."
"Ahem... That, in fact, the Helio P20 is enough, and it doesn't have to be a Dimensity 200~"
The most important thing now is to launch products and occupy the smartphone market, rather than rushing to the high-end, besides, the price of about 4000 has Stardust 1 top, and they may not be able to face it in a short time.
And who's to say that a phone with a Helio P20 should be sold cheaply? Anyway, most consumers don't understand what chips are, so the profits are even higher~
MediaTek originally planned to use this chip to rush to a wave of the market, first to increase the market share, and then the high-end problem of the Dimensity 200.
Not only are the mobile phone manufacturers in the Hongqi OS camp looking for MediaTek, but the mobile phone manufacturers in the Android camp are also looking for MediaTek, but they are not as large as the orders in the Hongqi camp, and they are still more willing to wait for Qualcomm.
But they really can't be interested in the single-core Snapdragon S1, but fortunately, Qualcomm has released some news, announcing that it will release a quad-core Snapdragon S2 next year.
There is still half a year before the release of Stardust 2, and they only need to provide Dimensity 200 to Stardust Technology in 1~3 months, and then expand the production scale in March and enter the market in the second half of next year.
Apple in action, MediaTek in action, HTC and Google in action, and on December 20, HTC released their first smartphone:
HTC G1, an Android camp smartphone named Dream, the biggest feature is that it is equipped with a full keyboard and trackball, which is not a design innovation, but it is also very capable of playing in this year.
The full keyboard that slides sideways and expands causes the HTC G1 to reach a thickness of 17.1mm, which is more than twice that of the Stardust 1, plus the physical buttons and trackballs on the front, which is quite a retro feature phone.
There are many consumers who eat the physical buttons, they always feel that the full-screen gesture of Stardust 1 is insecure to use, for fear that one day it will be stuck and crash, and it will not be able to restart by pressing the buttons...
In fact, Stardust 1 has sold so many units, because the exterior is damaged, burned, and crushed, but there are really few units that die normally when they use a good end, which is also one of the reasons why Stardust 1 has a good reputation.
Stable quality control, coupled with good after-sales, even if there is a real problem, it can be solved as soon as possible.
Compared with Apple1, there are also many people who pay attention to HTC in China, but HTC does not seem to have any plans to enter the Chinese market in the early stage, because the Android application market still needs to be developed, and there are too many things missing.
It can be seen from the full keyboard design and various physical function keys that there is no way for Android not to rely on physical buttons and operate the phone purely by touch screen.
But the foreign media don't know what's going on, HTC blows all kinds of things as soon as it comes out, and doesn't take Apple in the slightest, because in the eyes of many people, there is no difference between Apple's mobile phone business and Stardust Technology.
Everyone is the same, and Jobs's claim of "unprecedented" and "changing the world" is also a bit exaggerated, with Stardust 1 in front, Apple 1 can only be regarded as a "distinctive" and "good" product.
It's really a bit far from changing the world, but the foreign media are unwilling to admit the first-mover advantage of Stardust 1, so they can only turn their heads and tout HTC G1.
Apple, Android smartphones have been released successively, Chen Zifan finally informed Wang Jinli, first released the bamboo rhyme version of Stardust 1 spy photos on the Stardust Forum, not long after it was released, the wind blew into the buckle.
In the major buckle groups: "Brothers, something is wrong!" Stardust Technology is coming out with a limited edition Stardust 1! This is the news exposed by the Stardust community! There are already spy photos of the packaging box, and it is a green box! β
A wave of operations suddenly blew up a lot of diving netizens, bought Stardust 1 and took out their mobile phones, and entered the Stardust community to take a look, ho~ Really, an unknown big guy broke out a picture of Zhang's emerald green mobile phone packaging box.
"What is this? Coming up with a new colorway? Grass and prairie green? Anyway, is this thing really pretty? β
"The color palette of Stardust Technology is already okay, this green is very fresh, it reminds me of the bamboo forest in my hometown, but unfortunately now I come to the big city..."
"The actual product may also be different from the picture, and the color display on the screen is sometimes inaccurate."
"It's true, you have to go offline to see, but whether you can see it is another matter, there are only 300 units in each Stardust direct store, and 10,000 units online."
"Didn't you say there were 100,000 units?"
"You are stupid, in addition to the Stardust direct store, the Stardust official website, and the Stardust Mall, there must be some points for Stardust authorized stores and mobile phone dealers..."
"It's over, I can't grab it now."
"I already have Black Mirror 8GB Stardust 1, and I don't have any waves in my heart, and I even want to laugh a little."
"I'm the same, I'm not interested."
"555, I knew the limited edition, I wouldn't have bought it so early, it's too much of a loss!"
"What's the loss? A green shai color, I guess I can't see where it goes, and it's limited..."
Most of the Stardust users in the buckle group are not very interested in the so-called limited edition Stardust 1.
Isn't it just a green box? It's a little sour in my heart, but it's acceptable, after all, there are many people who don't like green, they just don't like it.
But then the Stardust community broke the news that a power adapter made of green bamboo and a small fresh green, which was visually divided into a section of data cables.
Now they couldn't sit still, who would have thought that in addition to the color matching, there was also the official customization of the charger, and before they could express their opinions, Stardust Technology officially released the news of the release of the bamboo rhyme version of Stardust 1.
"The bamboo rhyme version of Stardust 1 will be on the shelves of Stardust direct stores on January 6th... Limited to 100,000 units in total! β
From the poster of the bamboo rhyme version of Stardust 1, to the actual picture of Stardust 1, to the customized theme of Stardust OS, and the outer packaging that is also customized... There are not only pictures inside and out, but also official simple unboxing videos.
With the help of the water army gunner of the Stardust Marketing Department, the bamboo rhyme version of Stardust 1 has directly become popular from the Stardust community to the major buckle groups, and from the major buckle groups to the post bar, forums, and even TV stations have also reported.
It's not good if it's not popular.,Who makes the current Huaxia smartphone is the world of Stardust1,The basic use of Internet messages through mobile phones is Stardust1,And the bamboo rhyme version of Stardust1 is equivalent to a small new productγ
For a while, there were wails on the Internet, it was okay to buy 8GB of memory, and I regretted why I didn't wait for the limited edition when I bought 16GB, but as the saying goes, buy early and enjoy early, buy late to enjoy discounts...
The major buckle groups discussed again:
"100,000 units, numbered, brothers! I see an opportunity! 1γ6γ8γ9γ66γ88β¦ 123456β¦ 100,000, that's a good number! Draw a good number to symbolize an auspicious new year! β
"I don't know if there is such a meaning, but when you say this, it seems to be true, isn't this the same as choosing a license plate number? And I didn't know what number I could draw before I opened the box, so I was served! β
"This bamboo back cover... Ah, it's amazing, I don't like shells! But Stardust 1's glass was damn broken by accident, and it didn't work if it wasn't shelled! β
"Me too, I've already gone to the after-sales service to change the back cover once, but I still think that the casing feels bad, the glass is easy to break, and the bamboo is always not, right?"
"I see the official introduction, it's really bamboo! Isn't it possible to disk? I have a lot of oil on my nose, and I'm worried that I have no place to use it, so I have to buy one and come back to the plate! β
", it's really disgusting to step on a horse, what do you think, use your nose to oil the bamboo back cover..."
"Don't say it, vomit~"
ββ¦β¦β
The group members in this group suddenly felt that the so-called bamboo back cover didn't seem so fragrant, 100,000 bamboo rhyme version Stardust 1, said to be a limited edition, in fact, as long as you squat carefully, there is still a good chance to grab it.
To a certain extent, it also eliminates the possibility of scalpers raising prices, and it doesn't matter how mobile phone dealers operate Chen Zifan, but Stardust direct stores, authorized stores, Stardust official websites, and shopping malls are sold at the original price as long as they are available.
Chen Zifan really doesn't like the behavior of raising prices from the bottom of his heart, in his opinion, a product is a product, if it is given too much value that does not belong to it, then the product will become tasteless.
He was tired from the recent commercial activities, and he desperately wanted to end all the work on Stardust 1 as soon as possible, so that he could free up his energy and time to develop technology and build better products.
Some Stardust authorized stores have also hung up posters of the bamboo rhyme version of Stardust 1, although they have not received many limited edition Stardust 1 in one store, but as long as customers are attracted in, there is a great probability of a transaction.
In addition to the bamboo version of Stardust 1, each of the remaining colors of Stardust 1 has its own unique appeal...
During the New Year's Day, Stardust Technology rarely reduced the heat of overtime, but there are also many workaholics who don't know what a holiday is, and they have only one goal, to earn enough money and go back to their hometown for the New Year.
Chen Zifan quietly looked at these employees who refused to let him go, and he didn't know what he was thinking...
He didn't feel much about these holidays, and after reading it, he went to Xinghai Park to take a turn, and the second staff building has also been completed.
Most of the [Stardust employees] who moved in before have also renovated their houses, in addition to the employees, there are also some elderly people, children, and a lot of life, which is really different.
Back at the Stardust Technology headquarters, the bamboo rhyme version of Stardust 1 has Wang Jinli in charge of marketing, so Chen Zifan doesn't have to worry about it anymore, and the next thing he is ready to solve is about the running score of smartphones and chips.
For example, Xiaomi's Antutu and 360's Master Lu, these scoring software are actually useless, and the data does not represent the actual use experience, but a general measurement standard can be established.
Choosing a few partners, both as players and referees, is quite a scoundrel if you think about it carefully, but once the concept is formed in people's hearts, the effect will be twice the result with half the effort when promoting products in the future.
This matter is still handed over to Wang Jinli to do, and when he first finishes all the marketing work of the bamboo rhyme version of Stardust 1, it can be put on the agenda, and the running score software is still in charge of Stardust Network, which is also a convenient thing.
What Chen Zifan cares about even more is the upgrade of Stardust OS and the specific situation of map navigation, and the other is the "game" mirage of the sea market that has been polished for a long time.
