Chapter 191: Entering the PC Side?

Chen Zifan nodded, before the Stardust press conference, he also expected this development strategy that was more conservative and more in line with the current situation of Stardust Technology, but he was really a little unwilling, and he had been preparing for air charging for so long...

"Okay, what questions do you have?"

Don't worry about the stacking of Stardust 4 and Stardust 4+, Stardust Technology has been famous for its stacking since its debut, and many Chinese consumers are not afraid of spending money to buy things, but they are afraid that the things they spend money on are not good.

As some high-level executives said, there is no air charging, and there are a series of new technologies such as high brush screen, ultrasonic fingerprint, 50W single-core full-blood fast charging, 50W full-blood wireless charging, and battery temperature control management.

As for the problem of high brush + high resolution power consumption, don't worry, the current Stardust New Energy has been done in the direction of "thin and light battery", and it is completely possible to use a larger battery for Stardust 4 and Stardust 4+.

At the same time, Xingshi has also set up a team dedicated to CMOS, with Stardust Technology providing technology, and their development in imaging is also very fast.

The image can be used as the main track by the domestic manufacturers in Chen Zifan's memory to compete, and become the main direction of the "flagship machine", it is not all hype and pseudo demand, it is indeed more convenient to take pictures with mobile phones.

And the technology of mobile phones in imaging is improving very quickly, and the light theory technology can quickly dry up the camera, that is, the photos taken cannot be compared with some top traditional cameras, but Chen Zifan thinks that it will not be long before this situation will change.

He will also put a lot of weight on the imaging hardware and algorithms, although he doesn't take many pictures himself...

When these high-level executives heard Chen Zifan's question, they were not ambiguous, and they put forward some of their ideas, and they usually mentioned them, but they were all scattered, and some high-level officials directly took out their own documents:

"We have a five-year development period for e-paper books, and the products do not need to be updated during the five years, which is good or bad for us, and the advantage is that we can have a longer time to develop new e-paper books.

According to what Chen Dong meant, the next step is to further improve the quality of the ink screen, and it can even reach the level of 60Hz, which breaks through the material limit, which is completely comparable to conventional electronic screens.

And it can also make its cost very low, only 1699 can buy ultra-high-quality, ultra-long battery life, with a complete e-book library of ink screen e-paper books, just take the product to see it is to increase the allocation and reduce the price.

The price of 2699 will be replaced by a new 'color ink screen', everyone knows the difference between it and the ink screen when you listen to the name, and we all know that the purpose of producing e-paper books is not just to make profits...

This requires us to open up as much new horizons as possible while developing the next generation of e-paper books. ”

To sum up, the next generation of e-paper books will be very awesome, and it will be divided into two versions: stardust-ink, stardust-color ink, with the blessing of air charging in battery life, and it is likely to achieve "unlimited use".

But everyone knows that Stardust-Ink was born to eliminate most of the physical books, and this part of the work is very huge, and it also requires the intervention of multiple forces, and it is also one of the key projects in the future.

"I'll arrange for someone to do it as soon as possible..."

In the past, Wang Jinli could do similar work, but now that Wang Jinli is not in Huaxia, Chen Zifan has to re-select some suitable candidates from the high-level and middle-level cadres to form a team to facilitate the follow-up work.

"Regarding drones, the current sales of 'fun' drones for mass consumers are average, and they have not reached the expected level, we can observe for another month, if the follow-up sales are still not good...

Should we adjust our product strategy and focus the next generation of drone products on professional 'commercial drones'? Let some of their professional abilities be stronger and their role can be played.

Civilian UAVs only need to be updated normally, and the product power of Stardust-Marginal is high enough, and it does not need to be updated in a short period of time for the time being. ”

Chen Zifan nodded, this is true, it's not that Stardust-Margin's sales are really bad, it's just that compared with other popular products of Stardust Technology, its sales do seem a bit mediocre.

This is still with the blessing of the Stardust Technology brand and word-of-mouth, and the initial sales are very average, if it is other brands... I'm afraid it's a problem to return to the cost.

There is no shortage of a new way out for more professional commercial UAVs, after all, it is impossible for Chen Zifan to give up UAV products, and there will be a very big role in the follow-up.

"Tablet computers, smart watches, and Bluetooth headsets will temporarily enter a bottleneck period, and many Stardust users have reported that Stardust Technology's tablet computers are updated too quickly, and the product homogenization is more serious.

The improvement of each generation is not large, so the high brush screen on Stardust 4 and Stardust 4+ can not be applied to tablets for the time being, and the same is true for the other two products, which can be shelved for a year before being updated. ”

The high-intensity product iteration has made some consumers begin to be aesthetically fatigued, and for tablets, the best-selling one is the old model released with Stardust 2, because the price is low enough...

The main consumers of tablets are still students, whose budgets are generally low, and compared to the new tablets, which are not so much improved, only as a video playback tool, the old models are also sufficient.

Chen Zifan also understands the meaning of the high-level, first use the high brush screen on the mobile phone to gluttonous them, and bring another wave of "big improvement" when the Stardust 5 series is launched.

It's just like this...

There are only three new products that can be determined next year: Stardust 4, Stardust 4+, and Stardust-Yaoluo.

This was also taken into account by the higher-ups, with a radical high-level executive coming up with a new strategy:

"After our market research, the current vacancy of high-end displays is very large, some brands hold the screen of Star Vision, paste their own logo and claim to be the best display in Huaxia, aren't we?"

"Not necessary yet."

This was originally Chen Zifan's acquiescence, it belonged to a revenue project in the Star Vision Realm, everyone was in a win-win situation, not that Chen Zifan didn't want to do it, he wanted to put the monitor a little behind.

Another high-level said what he thought:

"We can do high-end displays at any time, but we have to consider the problem of channels and supporting products, don't worry about channel problems, but supporting products... As you know, the current mainstream PC manufacturers refuse to cooperate with Stardust Technology, unless we do it ourselves!

At present, the Changhe chip project has the level of 28nm process, to be 1~2 years ahead of the mainstream international manufacturers, we can use the existing advantages to enter the field of computer CPU and GPU... Then further expand Stardust OS to create a new PC system! ”

It's a bit similar to Apple, Apple is from computers → mobile phones, Stardust Technology is from mobile phones → computers, but the PC side is not so easy to do... Now the easiest things to do have become CPUs and graphics cards.

"It's also a new direction!"

"Chairman Chen, isn't there a plan specifically for graphics card manufacturers in your planning plan? This year's AMD released a graphics card called HD5870, known as the strongest single-core graphics card, and the measured performance is significantly ahead of NVIDIA's single-core graphics card GTX285!

It can even be on par with NVIDIA's GTX295, which is known as a dual-core small nuclear bomb! Huang Jenxun is still in a hurry! As the so-called sandpiper and clam compete for fishermen's profits, we can also enter it, make the market a little more chaotic, and create opportunities for entering the PC side! ”

Chen Zifan was a little speechless, if only it were so easy, it was easy to build a graphics card, in addition to AMD and NVIDIA, there are still many graphics card manufacturers in the world, and now it is not the world of A and N.

But they also said that mainstream PC manufacturers do not cooperate with Stardust Technology, and Stardust Technology finally made a batch of new graphics cards, and players happily bought them back and put them in the computer case... Hey! It doesn't work!

What's this called?

All he could say was:

"I will start a few key projects to enter the PC side in the future, but if I want to create a full set of products within a year, the time is a bit too late, and I will not release a single product until the full set of products is built."

"Understood! Got it! ”

"It's good that Chen Dong started the project first..."

"The PC project can be handed over to me!"

"I..."

These high-level executives are also militants, and the last time a high-level executive participated in a talk show, when mentioning Stardust Technology's speedy USB, an unknown host asked a question on the spot:

"Stardust Technology always mentions how advanced the Godspeed USB is in the publicity, but its design is not reasonable, and it also needs a special adapter when accessing the host, so can we understand the Godspeed USB as: it is a relatively backward technology?"

At that time, he was very angry with this high-level executive, but he also knew that the controversy about Godspeed USB has always been there, and the reason is that Godspeed USB is very difficult to use when converting to USB-A, and it is not as easy to transfer it online as the next software.

Thanks to the good software of the Stardust network, the Bluetooth technology of Stardust Technology is also very high, and some of the defects of wired transmission can be made up.

This pot really shouldn't be carried by Godspeed USB, there are many factors that affect the speed of data transmission, and it can all be blamed on Stardust Technology? The slow wired transmission is partly related to the USB technology of the host.

Where is USB-A now?

There are too many messy things, since they want to do it, Chen Zifan also happened to find something for them: "Okay, I'll arrange it tomorrow, the PC side is in a hurry, who has a plan for next year's new products?" ”

It's actually enough to rely on three new machines + air charging technology, but it always feels almost meaningful, and there are some icing on the cake products, Stardust Technology is rich enough, and soon there are high-level new products.

"I think we can also start from three aspects: projectors, AR glasses, and voice assistants, projection technology is what we have been doing, AR glasses we have sodium lithium batteries, and there is no problem with battery life!

The voice assistant is simpler, it may not be needed on the mobile phone, but our car machine system really needs it, it is inconvenient to park when driving to some road sections, and it is not very convenient to operate with one hand... I thought it would be nice if I could control the car by talking. ”

Chen Zifan: ......

Voice assistants are not difficult to do, and it is easy to get them, but the problem is... Huaxia is too big, hundreds of miles of different winds, thousands of miles of different customs, some fourth-tier cities have seven or eight dialects, many people can understand Mandarin, let him himself say that he can't speak at all.

How can this be a voice assistant?

It's also a failed product like Tmall Genie and Xiaodu, so when it comes to this, Chen Zifan has a big head, and he has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he can't bear to put up a bad function online.

He had no choice but to say:

"I'll arrange the voice assistant, you don't have to worry about it, I already have a few plans for AR glasses, I'll get this too, projector..."

To be honest, Chen Zifan really doesn't know what progress Stardust Technology's projector has been developed, and the conditions for releasing projectors are not mature enough, and the TV market is still in a thriving stage.

There are few online broadcasting platforms that do it well, and some platforms don't even bother to develop it, so they directly signed a sharing agreement with Stardust Network, giving up a large amount of profits and letting Stardust Network do technical things.

They are responsible for resource and copyright disputes, and they are also engaged in publicity, which can be regarded as mutually beneficial.

This is not the point, the point is that Chen Zifan can't get the resources of many TV stations, and the projector may have only one projection function, and it is still fresh to use it once or twice, and it is better to take a mobile phone after a long time.

Tablets are also better than projectors.

The best time to enter the market is to wait for mobile payment to be promoted, enter the era of national smartphones, and push out the projector after the traditional TV is cool.

AR glasses are a new direction, how to do it exactly... Chen Zifan has not yet been decided, and several of the plans in his hand have been used by "friends" in his memory, such as oppo, Huawei, Apple, and Xiaomi.

Among them, OPPO's shape is the most special, very similar to the combat power detector in the "Dragon Ball" comics, that is, the price of 4999 is much more expensive than other domestic brands, with few functions and relatively large volume...

After all, it is a one-sided smart glasses, and the weight of the battery is placed there, the general glasses frame is really a little unbearable, and the imbalance between the left and right is also quite uncomfortable.

Of course, smart glasses and AR glasses are a bit different, but many functions overlap, and there is no need to subdivide the two so clearly.

"Okay, if you have questions about the product, you can come here first, and if you have any problems with management, you can find Mr. Zhao."

With Zhao Wuxian here, Chen Zifan doesn't have to be responsible for the company's affairs, he can work on products with peace of mind, and at most consider holding a few meetings from time to time, giving employees some chicken blood, and just showing up when there are important things.

These high-level executives still have a lot of product plans in their pockets that they haven't taken out, and what electric unicycles, automatic stir-fry robots... It has to be a loss not to take it out, otherwise Chen Zifan would have to complain a lot.

As soon as the three new machines of Stardust 4, Stardust 4+, and Stardust-Yaoluo were confirmed, the Stardust factory immediately entered a state of full operation, and Chen Zifan also came to the Changhe chip production line in the core area again.
