Chapter 139: Made for Us
They need a product like a Xiaomi mobile phone, which only needs half the money to get 80% of the Stardust mobile phone experience, so Xiaomi can quickly stir up the heat in a short period of time, or cut the market demand.
The so-called 80% is just what they think, or Rebus, Stardust Technology deliberately promoted, on the surface, Xiaomi and Stardust Technology are on the opposite side, but in fact, the two belong to the same camp.
Wang Jinli has conducted more than three rounds of cooperation negotiations with Xiaomi, Meizu, and Coolpad, and Coolpad has always had an ambiguous attitude, and Meizu's Boss Huang seems to be "idealistic", but he is very realistic.
Or that Boss Huang is just intermittent idealism, and it is not excluded that the use of idealistic products to play the emotional card to attract consumers, in short, no matter what, they are willing to try the way of Stardust Technology.
If you don't want to, you can't help it!
First of all, at least half of Huaxia's smartphone accessories come directly or indirectly from the Stardust ecological chain, and secondly, Wang Jinli proposed to support "low-cost brands", which is their sub-brand, not the main brand.
If they follow the way of Stardust Technology, they may not make much money, but their brand power will definitely be greatly improved, and by the way, they can also put a "conscience" label on Meizu, why not do it?
When there are more users of Meizu mobile phones in the future, they will definitely be more inclined to Meizu when changing their mobile phones, Boss Huang thinks so, but consumers may not choose so, after all, there is still Stardust Technology.
For example, now, I can't afford to buy the new Stardust 3 and Stardust 3+, but you can buy the Stardust 2 with an official price reduction of 600 yuan, if you buy second-hand... It can be reduced by about 500 yuan, and you can buy a Stardust 2 for 2700.
Of course, the second-hand market is risky, and many consumers will go to "acquaintances" to buy Stardust 2, which is cheaper than the official price of Stardust Technology, which is only in the early 3000s, and maybe some giveaways.
In this way, a little ability will try to get a stardust mobile phone, not to mention the young people who are still studying, some of them work part-time, some rely on their fathers, and some rely on scholarships...
Unless the price segment of Xingchen mobile phone can be raised to a higher level and the gap with other mobile phone brands, in addition to the pursuit of cost performance, Xingchen mobile phone is the best choice, the original smartphone!
This is also one of the reasons why Chen Zifan changed his development strategy and wanted to support a low-priced mobile phone brand in the two years between Stardust 3 and Stardust 4.
Not only because the official will give a lot of resources, but also because the Stardust 4 series will increase in price, but also to establish a Huaxia mobile phone market dominated by Stardust Technology and determine the situation of smart phones.
Of course, more importantly, the full popularization of smartphones is conducive to the next steps of Stardust Technology, such as the promotion of mobile payment, digital currency, online platforms, shared travel, online car-hailing platforms, etc.
The low price is still easier to popularize than the high price, and the question now is not whether the Stardust mobile phone is good or not, but that a considerable number of people don't even have a smartphone at all, which has completely derailed from the times.
If you just want to make money and make profits, Chen Zifan can turn a blind eye to it, but this is not the case, whether it is Stardust Technology or the official, you need to pull this part of the group and drag them to the boat.
The only thing that displeased Boss Huang was that Stardust Technology... Or that the official wants to support the low-priced brand is not only Meizu, maybe there are other competitors, so Meizu cannot monopolize it.
In fact, Boss Huang also understands that Meizu can't eat such a big smartphone market in Huaxia alone, he is just unwilling: "No matter who the other brands are, only Meizu can stay in the end!" Meizu Blue!"
Soon Boss Huang knew who the other object of support was, it was Xiaomi Technology founded by Rebus, on the day of October 10th, Rebus released its own Xiaomi 1, which attracted the attention of countless consumers.
As soon as Rebus debuted, it was taking Xiaomi Mi 1 to comprehensively benchmark Stardust 3, starting from the processor, all the way to the camera, battery capacity, and even they made a 18 fast charge, which is also the Stardust ecological chain.
But ordinary consumers don't know!
They only know what is on Stardust 3, Xiaomi Mi 1 basically has it, and some may be a little inferior, such as the screen, fast charging, operating system... But in the balance of prices, these things are not a thing at all.
"The Mi 1 is equipped with the same Dimensity 300 processor as the Stardust 3! The front uses a Star Vision 5.4-inch 1080P OLED screen! This is currently recognized as the golden size in the mobile phone industry! It takes into account the grip and the large screen, plus our ergonomic design..."
The so-called arc of the middle frame is excessive,The curvature of the back cover has also been played by Stardust Technology,It's just a change of name,5.4Inch is not a golden size,Everyone thinks it is,That's definitely it!
Coupled with the propaganda of the major media, ordinary people have long formed this concept, and at this time, another person jumped out and said: You have all been deceived, 5.4 inches is not the most comfortable, there are other more comfortable sizes!
It is estimated that he will be sprayed into a sieve...
You say not? Do you have what it takes to find a phone that is more comfortable to hold than Stardust 3? Can't find it? If you can't find it, what else can you compare?
The Star Vision 1080P screen mentioned by Rebus is a product of a subsidiary of Stardust Technology, and it has indeed reached the level of 1080P in terms of visual perception, but it is a little worse than the screen of Stardust mobile phones.
It's about the same level as Stardust 1 ~ Stardust 2 in the middle, and what's left: "5.2 million pixel camera! 3333 mAh large battery! 18 Fast Charge! Symmetrical dual speakers! Godspeed USB port..."
Anyway, they have obtained so many accessories from the Stardust ecological chain, and they don't care about one more USB interface, and regardless of whether the design of the Godspeed USB interface is reasonable, Stardust Technology has achieved the first-class level in the industry.
At the same time, this is also the domestic technology company's own USB interface, the official is also vigorously promoting, even Lenovo, Huaxia HP and other computer manufacturers desktops, laptops have also used Godspeed USB.
When a technology company's product influence is large enough to a certain extent, when a technology is enough to change the future development situation... It is no longer a simple technology, but a "big game".
Chen Zifan is already preparing to produce a charging cable with a god-speed USB interface at both ends, but an adapter cable with other interfaces will be included in the product.
After all, it is impossible to eliminate the influence of the original USB technology, so you have to take your time.
In fact, this product is mainly for other electronic product manufacturers, because Stardust 4 is not used at all, Stardust 4 and Stardust 4+ will use the embedded speed USB mode in [Stardust Technology].
One end of the Godspeed USB interface is directly embedded into Stardust 4, Stardust 4+ and other products of the same generation to achieve closed data transmission and reception.
As for the issue of charging...
Stardust Technology will still give two charging modes, one is the same wireless charging of Stardust 3 and Stardust 3+, the wireless charging power of Stardust 4+ will be upgraded to 50, and the other is also wireless charging.
Not only wireless, but also in a radius of three meters, a diameter of six meters to achieve air charging, according to the feedback given by the core area of the Stardust factory, Stardust Technology can only achieve a maximum of 20 air charging.
Compared with Stardust 3 and Stardust 3+, the 30 wired charge seems to be still negative... But in fact, this is not the case, the best thing about this technology is that it can charge multiple devices within the influence range of the air charger.
It can charge mobile phones, tablets, smart watches and other products at one time, and theoretically you can charge as many products as you want, but there will be an upper limit in actual use, because there are too many chargers and voltages that can't withstand it.
The current cap is to charge five devices at the same time.
The standard air charger of Stardust 4 and Stardust 4+ is very large, even more than twice as large as the 165 and 240 chargers launched by some manufacturers in the future, and the advantage is that you don't have to worry about plugging it into the socket.
There are also two built-in power management chips, and you only need to use your mobile phone to operate it when charging~
This is already the limit of what Stardust Technology can do at present, don't underestimate this air charger, which has a built-in phase control array composed of 48 antennas,
Beamforming millimeter wave is directed to the mobile phone.
At the same time, it is not blocked by foreign objects, so you can charge while playing, and the charging power will not decrease.
In Chen Zifan's memory, some domestic manufacturers have come up with this technology to release new concepts, and Xiaomi and Motorola have done this publicity.
However, it didn't come true, and even the concept of a scroll-screen mobile phone was hyped over and over for several years, and in the end, there was no news at all, and it continued to attack the folding screen phone, it doesn't matter~
Other mobile phone manufacturers can't do it, Stardust Technology can, and [Stardust Technology] has stored a large number of product technologies far beyond 2022, and the so-called concept products and technologies can be realized here in Chen Zifan.
With this technology, Stardust 4 and Stardust 4+ will not mention the price increase of 1000, even if it rises a little harder, consumers can still accept it, but Chen Zifan will not do that, it will be too out of the mass market.
Stardust 4 is not on it, and some of the conceptual technologies on Stardust 4+ are also the design concept of this non-hole mobile phone by Meizu zero, Godspeed USB is embedded, and the speaker is hidden under the bezel and screen.
Even the boot, volume, and three-stage mute keys have also been hidden, and the touch restoration of the physical buttons is achieved through the shocking and delicate customized X-axis linear motor, so as to achieve the effect of being fake.
The rest of the configurations are regular upgrades~
It's just what Chen Zifan thinks is "conventional"...
On the other hand,Xiaomi press conference site,All configurations have been announced,Xiaomi1The high configuration is just for people to see,The important thing is its price,Sure enough,Rebus has a soft spot for 1999。
When the 1999 price was announced, countless netizens and consumers were excited, and many of them also made some exaggerated remarks on the Internet, such as:
"Xiaomi is here! The era of Stardust Tech domination is coming to an end! It only takes 1999! You can buy a replacement for Stardust 3! Brothers, I'll rush first!"
"! It's so cheap!"
"I have everything I should have, and the phone looks good! Mi UI I've swiped, and it's pretty easy to use, so I really can't figure it out, what did those mobile phone manufacturers do before? Not even a decent product!"
"Dog LeTV! Deceived my feelings! @贾老板, come out and see what is cost-effective!"
"What Stardust 3 to buy! Buy all millet!"
"It's really cost-effective..."
If they put Xiaomi Mi 1 and Stardust 3 together in reality, I am afraid that the gap can be seen at a glance, but now Xiaomi is in the mode of online sales, and ordinary consumers only know the configuration and price.
Chen Zifan is not worried about the threat that Xiaomi Mi 1 will pose to Stardust Technology, Xiaomi Mi 1 can reach one-tenth of Stardust's sales even if Rebus is successful, you must know that Stardust Technology is a combination of online and offline.
And the proportion of offline shipments is as high as 78%, and online sales are less than a quarter.
Soon someone stood up and retorted:
"Replace Stardust 3? What are you thinking? There is no wireless charging, no IP68 dustproof and waterproof, no three-stage mute button, and even the UI is a fake Stardust OS, I don't know why Xiaomi Mi 1 replaces Stardust 3?"
"Wouldn't it? Isn't there anyone who thinks Stardust 3 is bad? It's really not as good as Stardust 3+, but in addition to Stardust 3+, Stardust 3 is the best smartphone! Not all miscellaneous cards can be benchmarked!"
"By the way, is there any optical image stabilization? What's the use of those 200,000 pixels? Can you do it like Stardust 3 and shoot videos so stably?"
"What's the use of a light blowing configuration? What about after-sales protection? All after-sales orders in the Stardust after-sales center can be solved within one day, does Xiaomi have the ability?"
"A network sales machine is a network sales machine..."
"It's not bad that Xiaomi can make a cheaper smartphone, they are all domestic mobile phones, and the publicity may be extreme, but the product is okay."
"You get what you pay for, Stardust mobile phones are expensive, and if you want to be cheap, you must give up something."
"Hey, this sentence is not necessarily true, I know that some imported Android machines are more expensive than Stardust 3+, but the configuration... Death is the level of Stardust 2."
"Those phones are not as good as Stardust 2, Stardust 2 has at least 20 fast charging, what do they have?"
"In the field of smartphones, don't brag about imported mobile phones, right? Stardust 3 and Stardust 3+ are already cheap in China, and some *** ones are not cherished, and they have the ability to go abroad to see the price of foreign Stardust mobile phones!"
"Don't say it, a Stardust 3+ in Europe costs 1,399 euros, which is more than 10,000..."
"Huh~ So exaggerated?"
"Yes! That's that exaggerated! Even Stardust 2 sells for more than 5,000 and Stardust 3 sells for more than 7,000, and at such a high price, there are still many people who buy it, which is outrageous!"
"! I was shocked—"
"That's really the case! If you don't believe it, you can go and have a look, or you can ask the crooked people who came to China, there are many crooked people who have come to Haicheng to settle down!"
"Is Stardust Technology so ruthless!?"
Chinese consumers, who have long been accustomed to being impacted by imported brands, imported products, and imported culture, have seen for the first time that domestic brands can fight back to developed countries and regions, and they still use their way to come to China.
All of a sudden, they were a little overwhelmed, and they understood that it was no wonder that Stardust Technology could have such a high status now, and it was advertised casually at the Beijing Olympics, and the roads and charging stations in Haicheng were built.
It's no wonder that Xinghan NI can have so many orders in a short period of time, obviously only one car is still produced, but no one will treat Xinghan Zhixing as a miscellaneous brand.
Chen Zifan can take out these things to wantonly promote and hype, but he feels that it is not necessary, the so-called "light of domestic products" and "domestic representatives" are spontaneously formed concepts in the minds of consumers, not by propaganda.
The Stardust Marketing Department will never use the name of "domestic" in publicity, if one day Stardust mobile phones need to use the word "domestic" to promote sales, it can only be said that Stardust Technology is not far from going out of business.
Obviously today is the release of Xiaomi Mi 1, but the result has improved the status of Stardust Technology again, in the Stardust community, a post is full of @Stardust Technology, @陈子凡的, although they know that there will be no response.
However, this time was different, Chen Zifan really noticed it, and he was stunned as soon as he entered the Stardust community:
"600,000 times? So much? Aite ***? Oh~ So that's it, you don't have to do that, right?"
It's not a big deal.
Chen Zifan still remembers Mo Shaokun telling him a story about Honda, whose founders once saw that the people of their country even riding bicycles was a luxury after the war, so they decided to produce motorcycles.
The initial goal was very simple, that is, to let ordinary people have a comfortable means of transportation, motorcycles, cars... Or something else.
Two years ago, it seemed that some people still questioned Stardust Technology, did they want to be Huaxia's Honda and Samsung?
Chen Zifan didn't want to, he thought that Stardust Technology would be much stronger than Honda and Samsung, and he was just moving towards his goal, but in the development of Stardust Technology, his concept was also changing.
"Our products..."
Thinking of this, Chen Zifan posted a post for the first time with his Stardust community account: "Stardust Technology's products are made for us!"
Whether it is a price increase or a hype, Stardust Technology will make up for it in its own way, so that everyone can enjoy the changes brought by technology!
Xiaomi and Meizu are examples, Chen Zifan doesn't care about Xiaomi mobile phones and Meizu mobile phones, because these two brands are half a sub-brand of Stardust Technology.
He only cares about whether Stardust Technology, officially supported Redmi, and Meizu can fully popularize smartphones and mobile networks, so that the old ladies in the village can use them.
