Chapter 92: Infrastructure Maniac
In Chen Zifan's impression, Samsung, Huawei, Honor, and vivo all prefer the design of round watches, while Apple and OO prefer the design of square watches, and Xiaomi is first square and then round, and there are both square and square watches in the product...
I can't say which design is better, with the current influence of Stardust Technology in Huaxia, even if a hexagonal watch is shipped, the shipment will not be bad, but you can't do this kind of self-smashing signboard, and there are other reasons.
There is only one version of the Stardust smart watch, according to Chen Zifan's conception, it is used to match Stardust 3+, but there is nothing inappropriate with Stardust 3, both mobile phones are very good, and they both belong to the category of high-end machines.
It's just that Stardust 3+ will be more extreme, and in order to meet diverse needs, Chen Zifan will also use two different materials for Stardust smart watches, and match them with straps of various materials and colors.
If you want to change it, these need to be purchased additionally, and it is a large amount of accessories income, no wonder a fat man surnamed Luo always likes to play emotional cards and sell accessories.
It's really profitable, which can be seen from Stardust 2, Stardust Tablet, colorful silicone protective cases, keyboard covers can be sold a lot every day, and sometimes a user will buy several mobile phone cases.
The positioning of the Stardust smart watch is also not low, coupled with the craftsmanship level of the Stardust factory... The price cannot be cheap, according to Chen Zifan's estimate, its final selling price can be controlled within 2000~3000.
Mobile phones, tablets, Bluetooth headsets, smart watches... Such a development may seem like no problem, but in fact it misses one of the most critical things: the network.
The tablet can only be connected to the IFI, and the use scenario is relatively fixed, and the Bluetooth headset itself does not have the networking function, so these two products will not be limited by the mobile network when they are launched, but the smart watch cannot.
Its use scenario is non-fixed, and it needs to share the network through the Stardust mobile phone, but the 2G network of the Stardust mobile phone itself is not easy to use, and it may be more difficult to use after sharing it with a smart watch, and the experience will be very poor.
3G has a great improvement, but it's okay on mobile phones, and it's still not easy to share with smart watches, until the 5G era, the smart watches of major manufacturers have shown a state of blooming.
It doesn't matter, because Chen Zifan's consciousness of [Stardust Technology] also has a new 4G patented technology, and it just so happens that the three major operators have returned from the World Communications Congress and are ready to take the next step.
He can't influence other cities, but the influence of Haicheng Stardust Technology is definitely one of the best, and many older Haicheng locals don't admit this, they think that Haicheng still has the world's top 500.
But none of the world's top 500 companies in Haicheng can be more cohesive and executable than Stardust Technology, Chen Zifan is ready to cooperate with local operators first, give up the promotion of 3G, and directly promote the new 4G.
As for some questions... It is still necessary to directly launch the official as a shield, and first set up a mobile communication research center, based on which a new 4G technology will be released, and Haicheng will become the first 4G city.
However, this will be a major blow to some old communication manufacturers, such as ZTE, Huawei, oo, and Coolpad, which have been researching 4G communication technology and have registered many technology patents. ….
If Stardust Technology directly prepares to pilot 4G in Haicheng... Then they will lose the advantages they have accumulated before, and at the same time, foreign 4G patents will also lose their advantages.
There is no need to worry too much about security, judging from the fact that the official continues to increase the support for Stardust Technology, it can be seen that they don't care about how much advanced technology Stardust Technology has mastered, they only care if it's their own.
At that time, Stardust 3+ will be the world's first real 4G mobile phone, but the popularization of 4G is not so easy, there are many things needed, and Stardust 3+ is not unusable without 4G network.
Don't forget that Chen Zifan's new 4G is upgraded by combining the existing 3G communication technology, which not only supports the existing 3G communication, but also can receive 2G signals in areas where 3G signals are not developed.
Even in the deep mountains and old forests, you can make a phone call, unless you are in a mining cave
The signal can be received in most areas of China.
Chen Zifan will not forget Apple's signal gate incident, Jobs did not find a way to change Apple's signal, but taught people how to hold the mobile phone correctly...
This seems to him to be a bit outrageous,So the signal of Xingchen mobile phone has always been a point that he attaches great importance to,Since Xingchen 1 has been using a surround antenna,The signal reception ability is much stronger than that of ordinary mobile phones。
As a 4G mobile phone, Stardust 3+ is more to promote the breakthrough of communication technology, give people hope, and use this hope to promote products.
When the time comes, people will have a concept: I bought a 4G mobile phone in advance when the 4G base station first became popular, although the price of 5999 is a little more expensive, but its configuration is really high! 4G phones can be used for many years!
After Chen Zifan first solved the planning plan of the Stardust smart watch, he began to prepare for the mobile communication research center, and he didn't even need to build a research center, just use the official one.
In this name, Chen Zifan found the person in charge of the three major operators, and then contacted the local person in charge of the three major operators.
"You mean... 4G technology?"
"Really? So why don't we know? It turns out that you had already planned it when you were at the World Communications Congress! I said it couldn't be!"
"The official research center? Hiss~ Are those old men so fierce? No wonder we didn't know it before, it's very strict about secrecy."
"Ho... I have been engaged in R&D for more than ten years, and almost none of them have left the research center, can you not be strict?"
"Only in Haicheng? I see!"
"But we'll have to make sure..."
The person in charge of the three major operators contacted the person in charge of the official side again, confirmed it, and after getting a small part of the new 4G technology a week later, the plan for piloting 4G in Haicheng was determined.
The three major operators are also very difficult, on the one hand, they have just paid a huge price to get the 3G license, and on the other hand, they are all-round 3G new 4G technology.
Which is the problem of promotion, first promote 3G technology, the cost can be recovered, but Haicheng is piloting, I am afraid that 3G communication technology will not last too long.
4G can be promoted first... The construction of the base station has to start from scratch, and a sea city may not be able to see anything, but it must be promoted to all parts of the country... The amount of work is not ordinarily large, and the 3G base station built before is also in vain. ….
Because 3G base stations are also gradually popularized from large cities, 4G base stations are also, so that the two form a conflict, unless the 3G base station is directly upgraded to 4G base station, which is about the same.
In the end, the three major operators decided to recover the cost of 3G first, and then said, there is Stardust Technology here in Haicheng, and the official has given the task, they only need to cooperate, and build 5000 4G base stations according to the plan.
In this way, it can be basically popularized to every corner of Haicheng, and the 5G pilot city in Chen Zifan's memory is also to build 5000 base stations, and the speed is very fast, basically the project was established at the beginning of the year, and the construction was completed in the middle of the year.
However, the productivity of the 5G era is much stronger than now, and now we have to produce 4G base stations first, even if there are three parties to promote together, it is already very fast to complete more than half of the progress at the Stardust conference next year.
According to the information given by the research center, as long as there is 4G technology, it is not difficult to produce base stations, and it may take some time in the early stage, but as long as production starts, it will only take about 15 days to produce 5,000 base stations.
And they also gave Chen Zifan a specific time, from the beginning of November ~ the end of January next year to complete production and enter the construction state, is expected to be completed in September next year, and all put into use.
In this way, Chen Zifan can rest assured to specialize in the Changhe chip project and create more Stardust ecological chain products around the two mobile phones of Stardust 3 and Stardust 3+.
At present, the progress of the Changhe project team is also very fast, and Stardust Technology only needs one chip production line in the early stage, so there are not many things that need to be prepared, and after forming a certain scale
It will be expanded to three chip production lines.
There are three production lines that are enough to maintain the operation of Stardust Technology for a long time, of course, these are all later words, according to the expectation that the first start-up test of the Changhe project team will have to be arranged until about January next year.
At that time, not only will we have to test the production line, but we will also have to design Changhe 3 chips, tape-outs, and test the testing machine on Stardust 3+... Thanks to Chen Zifan's [Stardust Technology], otherwise so much work is really tiring.
Just taking chip design as an example, if there is no basic drawing in [Stardust Technology], it is likely that the optical tape-out will have to be done several times, and the cost of time and money will be higher.
There is no way, Stardust Technology must have its own chip design and production capacity, otherwise UNISOC is an example, and the chips that have been designed for many years can only be mixed in the low-end field, and even the mid-end cannot be used.
The Tanggula that was finally designed... As a result, there has been no mass production for a long time, Qualcomm has updated to Snapdragon 8Gen2, MediaTek has updated to Dimensity 9200, and UNISOC is still working hard to hit the mid-range...
It's not that they don't work hard to design chips, but they are limited to death by chip foundries, so it is more reliable for Stardust Technology to master the technology by itself.
During this period, Chen Zifan also engaged in a new project by the way, dividing a vacant land on the left side of Xingchen Square, Xingchen Direct Store, and Xinghan Direct Store, preparing to build a large open-air venue...
By the way, I got a new subsidy, and this large venue is usually a stadium, but it will become a super large conference venue during the Stardust press conference.
Especially for products such as Xinghan NI and Xinghan 01, ordinary conference centers can no longer meet them, and there must be enough display space.
Anyway, there are subsidies, the construction cost is not high, and it is also good for Stardust Technology, and by the way, you can use this venue to attract more people, why not?
Chen Zifan also won the title of "infrastructure madman", other technology companies are eager to save costs, even office buildings, laboratories are rented, Stardust Technology is good, in situ to engage in various infrastructure construction.
He is also releasing a signal in this way, Stardust Technology is here, and it will not go anywhere, and on the way to the non-established future, he will also carry Haicheng and countless ordinary people together.
