Chapter Seventy-Nine: Expatriate Engineer Team
Stardust 2 Other configuration upgrades, even if Chen Zifan blows hard, the perception is not so obvious, but 20 fast charging is different, and the difference between one and a half hours of charging time and six hours is too big.
As long as you have the idea of changing the phone in your heart, then the original mobile phone is a shortcoming, what screen is not big enough, the feel is not good enough... I forgot that when I bought Stardust 1, it was the same as it is now.
Someone was very affectionate when he changed to a new machine: "Don't worry, even if you leave my brother, my brother still loves you!"
Turning his head and hugging the new phone, as long as the phone is changed quickly, there is no sadness and only happiness!
At the same time, the first batch of Stardust 2 and Stardust tablet buyers in the Stardust community are also sharing their experiences, from the outer packaging to the products and systems:
"The packaging of Stardust Technology is as exquisite as ever! It's really willing to use materials! I can't even find the flaws in the corners and corners, it's really detailed!"
"Brothers, 20 fast charging real cow B! On average, charge one grid in 1 minute! It's fast to the naked eye!"
"Now I can charge my phone while playing with it, it's cool, but my eyes can't stand it..."
"Fast charging is to make our lives more convenient, not to let you play with your phone! By the way, this fast charge is very detailed, and it will be automatically cut off when the battery is fully charged, so we don't have to keep an eye on it!"
There is also a long comment about the Stardust Tablet:
"From the actual user experience... What Chen Dong said can be used for light work, which is fine, but it is a bit unrealistic to expect him to meet all the work needs, some software features... To be developed.
But! If you use the Stardust tablet as a device for watching movies, listening to music, and playing games, then it is definitely the best hardware experience on the market at present! Four speakers are played, and the stereo sound is simply amazing!
And the sound quality of each of its speakers is very good, using the latest generation of Hongsheng research and development products, even if there will be some noise at high volume, it can also be made up for by fine division of labor...
So if you are going to work and study, Stardust tablet is not the best choice, 3999 can already choose some laptops, but if you are going to entertain games... Trust me, the Stardust Tablet will definitely bring you the most amazing audio-visual experience!"
A wave of sharing has further stimulated Stardust 1 users to buy new machines, and those who have plenty of money are okay, and those who are strapped for money can only choose to trade in the old for the new.
Is the trade-in a pit? That must be a pit, and Chen Zifan did it on purpose, first using ultra-high configuration to attract users, and then using the old to stimulate consumption and further expand the share of the smartphone market.
At the same time, the price reduction of Stardust 1 and the domestic mobile phone brand products equipped with Hongqi OS have also allowed more people to touch the threshold of smart phones.
But in the end, it is not necessarily intelligent or not~
Of course, there will be some problems in doing this, many people regard Stardust 2 and Stardust Tablet as a new trend, and there are also some remarks similar to "face", Chen Zifan himself did not expect this.
So when he saw some of the product reports handed in by Zhao Wuxian, he couldn't believe it: "No, we are a domestic brand, and it is a mobile phone, and the starting price is not particularly high, so it stands to reason that it shouldn't be." ….
The domestic BUFF doesn't work?
The key is that a mobile phone can be linked to face, it is outrageous, this is 3999, not 39999, there is no special brand premium, and there is no other connotation to promote products, how can this be linked to face?
Chen Zifan directly notified the Xingchen Marketing Department, so that they could guide the remarks about Xingchen mobile phone to the correct trajectory as much as possible, the product is the product, the function, the sense of experience, the cost performance, whether it can meet the demand...
These should be the criteria for judging.
He hopes that people's first reaction when they mention Stardust Technology is "a technology brand that pursues the development of technology and product innovation", rather than simply a "big brand".
The day after the end of the Stardust press conference, the Stardust official website and mall have been in a state of explosive orders, not only the sales of Stardust 2 and Stardust tablets are hot
explosion, other electronic products are also out of stock in the short term.
For example: SD card, Bluetooth speaker, mechanical keyboard, Bluetooth membrane keyboard, third-party four-corner anti-drop mobile phone case, wired headset with Godspeed USB interface...
Especially the last one, it provides a new choice for many Stardust users, although it is not officially produced, but there is no bad one who can be on the Stardust Mall.
However, most of them don't dare to stock up so many goods before the product is released, like Stardust Technology, in case they can't sell it, can't they all be smashed in their hands? So you can only watch the market conditions to produce.
The day after the Stardust press conference, Stardust Technology was blown to a new height on major TV stations, what "experiment without protective gear", "leading the era of intelligence", "dismantling Stardust high-tech"...
In these years, it can almost be said that the TV station is the most influential publicity channel, and the official channel is also very powerful, providing Stardust Technology with a considerable amount of advertising time.
There is no need to even publicize it by the Stardust Marketing Department, Stardust 2 and Stardust Tablet have almost reached the level of household names, even in some remote villages, many people have learned about Stardust Technology's products:
"Now all the phones are like this?"
"Computers, too? Tablet? It really looks a bit like a 'tablet, also a touchscreen drop?'
"Can the keyboard be taken apart? Put it together and it's connected? How do you do that?"
「ifi… IFI again—"
Whether it's ifi or 3G4G, the most difficult thing is not technology development, but the problem of promotion, if there is no Stardust Technology, I'm afraid that 3G promotion alone will consume a lot of manpower and material time, and the progress is not necessarily fast.
But with Stardust Technology and some of the more advanced products they provide, and showing huge profit margins, it will naturally accelerate the progress of infrastructure construction.
Chen Zifan's concept is: "Use products to drive the popularization of infrastructure construction", regardless of whether your 3G is popular, I will first build 3G mobile phones and even 4G mobile phones, and you can do the rest yourself.
What? Don't increase popularity?
I'm sorry, Stardust Technology in other places can't manage it, but they still have the right to speak in Haicheng, and after the next [analysis of the cottage] 3G technology, Chen Zifan will start to prepare to promote the construction of base stations in Haicheng.
The official publicity resources are not taken for nothing, the money doesn't matter, Stardust Technology doesn't pay much advertising money at all, just a symbolic labor fee, but the next cooperation is different. ….
From creating a wafer factory to building a foundry, every project is very troublesome, and the secret of Stardust 1 has long been known, and the outside world agrees: You can transform and strengthen the chip, can't you still produce chips?
Neither can nor can...
Yes, the chip enhancement production line of the Stardust factory can produce some feature phone chips with a perfect foundation, and it can also be transformed into stitched chips of Stardust 1.
No, Stardust Technology is not able to simplify the process for the time being and directly produce high-level smartphone chips, which will inevitably squeeze the space of other components when producing motherboards, resulting in an unreasonable structure.
If you increase investment, and then [analyze the copycat] some similar technologies, and integrate them into a piece of [synthesis and creation], you can also produce smart machine chips, but they can't meet the requirements of Chen Zifan who wants high-level chips.
Chen Zifan has never even seen some "high-end" production equipment, let alone [Analysis Cottage], but Chen Zifan also has his own solution, if he doesn't go abroad for the time being, then arrange the domestic one first.
A team of engineers was formed to "communicate" with some research institutes, scientific research institutions, and laboratories of high-tech colleges and universities in the name of "visiting and learning", not for their experimental products, but for equipment.
In the past, Chen Zifan's [analysis of the cottage] was not high in technical content, so it was possible to buy machines directly from the market and then upgrade, but with the improvement of the level, the lack of high-end production equipment has also become a disadvantage.
It's actually fine according to the normal development process, but it takes too long and consumes a lot of money, so it's better to concentrate all the existing things first
To Stardust Technology, wait until a certain level and then develop yourself.
At that time, Stardust Technology far surpassed the current level in terms of scale, product strength, and basic level.
After selecting the target, Chen Zifan directly opened [Stardust Technology] and selected 20 engineers who were not core members from the employee list, and then went directly to the Stardust factory and notified them of the news:
「… degree, Yan Jianbin, Liu Anrong, Xiao Haopeng... On June 30th, we have a task to communicate and learn with major scientific research institutions and laboratories, and if anyone wants to quit, contact me within three days..."
After Chen Zifan left, the engineers who were called all gathered together and began to discuss, Stardust Technology generally does not have many business trips, and it is the first time for them to travel for such a large-scale and long-term business trip:
"Hey, why did you say that Dong Chen chose us for a business trip, why didn't those big guys choose?"
"What? You're not happy to give you a chance? Those bigwigs are already at a very high level, and they are busy with work, so how can they travel for a month when they have time..."
"Can't you see that? Chen Dong wants to train us, the next batch of main engineers!"
"Yes! Do a good job, and it won't be long before we get a promotion and a raise!"
"But that day I was going to take a leave of absence to spend time with my girlfriend... It's going to be another month and a half."
"Girlfriend girlfriend... I know women every day! Listen to the advice of your buddy, women will only become an obstacle to your promotion and salary increase! You have to be hard to strike iron!"
"Your grandmother's, Chen Dong has come to find someone in person, what do you mean, don't you know? My girlfriend can see you next time, but if you miss the opportunity, it's gone!" ….
"This... Let me tell her about it..."
Another incident happened during the preparation: Haicheng University contacted Zhao Wuxian, hoping that Chen Zifan could attend their distinguished alumni conference and give a speech to students on the development of science and technology at the conference.
"Distinguished Alumni Meeting?"
"Yes, Haicheng University would like to invite you back to the school and give a lecture on science and technology to the students."
"Find a reason to push it off..."
It's not that Chen Zifan is high and unwilling to go back to school to give a speech, but he is not familiar with Haicheng University at all... In addition to going in at the beginning, I just contacted the counselor every semester.
He didn't even recognize his roommates, and he hadn't graduated, although the counselor said that he could get his degree certificate and graduation certificate at any time, but he actually wanted to send someone to help him get it, so he couldn't go.
Stardust Technology's recent work tasks are also relatively heavy, and he doesn't have the heart to prepare a scientific and technological speech, and will talk about it when the conditions are suitable and there is still a chance in the future.
Zhao Wuxian also understood what he meant, and called Haicheng University back to express his apology:
"Yes, I've just released a new product, and I'm busy with work... Next time, next time, don't worry, just come to me if you have something..."
At the same time, the three major operators also released news: "On September 15, the annual Mobile World Congress will be held in Barcelona, Spain, where the application prospects of the 3GSM project will be held...
The conference invited Stardust, Huawei, Gionee, ZTE, OO, Coolpad, Newman, Hisense, LeTV... and many other domestic mobile phone manufacturers and Internet companies to participate in creating a better 3G future!"
Chen Zifan originally thought that this news would affect the sales of Stardust 2, but in fact it didn't, everyone didn't care about 3G, on the one hand, the data network was not easy to use, and on the other hand, the popularity of IFI was too fast.
The three major operators work together, and IFI has covered hotels, Internet cafes, cafes, shopping malls, restaurants and other places in many cities across the country, covering a large area and a wide range, and has also entered the households...
The other side ~ LETV headquarters.
Boss Jia was very excited and immediately held a high-level meeting, in which he said, "Our opportunity has come! As long as we build a 3G smartphone before Stardust Technology... LeTV phones are going to skyrocket!"
A senior executive immediately questioned, "But... With our existing conditions, we can't build a 3G smartphone at all, so what can we do to participate in the World Communications Congress
Will it?"
Boss Jia didn't panic at all: "Don't worry, we can set up a project first, produce some concept machines, and then attract some investors to raise funds, as long as you have money, are you afraid that you won't be able to produce products?"
You have to understand,What we do is not to do all the work in one step,But to convey a concept,Convey the concept of LETV,In addition to mobile phones,We can also promote other products!
For example, it supports connecting to ifi、LETV super TV with Hongqi OS operating system! Another example is to install a touch screen on refrigerators and washing machines, which can be remotely operated to realize the intelligence of some home appliances..."
"But... Isn't our current project fun? Isn't it a bit of a rush?"
"Urgent? There's no rush at all! I tell you, everything has to be prepared as early as possible! Sooner on, we will be able to take the same advantage as Stardust Technology, and even if it is worse, I am afraid it will not be worse than now, right?"
"Makes sense..."
At the same time that LETV began to work hard, other domestic mobile phone manufacturers were not idle, who doesn't know that Stardust 1 and Stardust 2 are shortcoming2G network? 2G→3G is a qualitative leap forward and a new opportunity for them.
What they can realize, how can Stardust Technology not be aware? In fact, some domestic manufacturers can receive invitations, and Chen Zifan is indispensable behind them, and he needs these domestic manufacturers to distract him.
