Chapter 210: New Track (2)
"Brothers, isn't the equipment a little shabby? But luckily we came over after breakfast."
"That's right! Looking at this posture, it is estimated that there is not even a place to eat next to it, I hope I can finish shopping in the morning, right? After all, it's just a technology show, and we don't have any explanations, so there should be plenty of time."
"Just take a picture, take a picture if you're interested, skip it if you're not interested, brother is a new Stardust-Chenji, and the photo and video effects are very good! It's definitely enough for this show!"
After that, Lu Dongchang didn't forget to raise his hand to show off a wave of new mobile phones in his hands and the special mobile phone holder bought in Stardust Mall, this mobile phone holder is an official accessory, and it cost him a full two hundred oceans!
However, Stardust Technology's things are a little good, as long as the money is in place, the product is absolutely worthy of its price, and it will even be a little worth the money.
This is also part of Chen Zifan's marketing plan of "small favors", so that consumers always feel that they have earned, and there are many products in the Stardust ecological chain, which can further stimulate consumers' desire to buy.
November 1st is already late autumn, and it will be winter in about a week, but the weather in Haicheng is still not as bleak as the late autumn season, even if it is the coldest morning of the day at 7~8 o'clock, you can't feel the temperature discomfort.
The atmosphere around Haicheng International Center is hot, and the rise of smart phones has also given birth to live broadcast platforms.
It's just that the 4G traffic package is still too expensive, and those who can broadcast live outdoors are a bit of a family background, and Lu Dongchang and others can hear some people shouting at the top of their voices to introduce the situation at the scene.
Civilians are just like them, shoot the video first, edit it later, and then send it to the platform.
Whether it's a live broadcast or a video to post on the platform, in fact, it doesn't make money, everyone plays as a hobby, which perfectly meets people's original fantasy of the Internet: a platform to find answers to questions, make friends from all over the world, and witness new things.
It's a pity that there are a little too many impurities later, and many people are instilled with too many concepts that do not belong to themselves when they can't distinguish between right and wrong, and this subtle influence is often unknown to them.
Including Chen Zifan, the era of the explosion of short videos still makes him feel uneasy until now, and there are many short video creators whose creative content is actually very good, but it's a pity that it's too easy to be drowned.
Driven by the atmosphere of the Haicheng International Center, many people did not feel how difficult an hour was, chatting and chatting passed, and at about 7:50, the doors of Haicheng International Center were finally opened.
The crowd on the periphery began to swarm inside, and even the staff at the door were stunned, their job today was to send something similar to a "map", but there were too many people, and just after sending one person, there were already five or six people next to them.
What's going on?
Fortunately, there are many similar things in the venue, and one of the major investors of Haicheng International Center has also invested heavily this time, and the new venue has just opened to spend a lot of money on such activities, but as long as the fame is out, it is easy to earn back the capital in the future.
Lu Dongchang and others also followed the flow of people in, as soon as they entered the venue, they immediately felt a different look, the crowd outside the venue was crowded, but the venue was very loose, and the biggest signboard that caught their eyes was Stardust Technology.
Even the location is the best, in the very center of the venue, surrounded by other brands as if the stars are holding the moon, Lu Dongchang looked down at the participating brands, there are many he doesn't know, and there are some famous:
"Aurora Electronics?"
"Intron Technology?"
"Superman?"
"Xiaomi, Meizu, Huawei, BBK..."
"Huh~ And Gree? Home appliance brands are also coming to join in the fun? Isn't there a rumor that the relationship between Stardust Technology and Gree is average, and the relationship with beauty is good?"
"No, right? Enterprises are not the same as individuals, they are all profit-oriented, and there are not so many grievances and hatreds, but what about our Haier? Oh~ Over there, next to brands like Midea and Gree."
"Midea has been really ruthless in the past year, as soon as the smart home comes out, it also increases the quantity without increasing the price, almost slaughtering the entire Huaxia home appliance market, it is said that export orders have increased several times, and it has become the first in China!"
"But their stuff... The traces of OEM are too obvious, the materials used are relatively average, and the appearance is quite high, but there is a bit of a lack of texture."
"Other brands aren't much better."
"It would be nice if Stardust Technology did it, our Chen Dong's pursuit of texture is not comparable to theirs."
"Then for sure, Stardust Technology has its own factory, which is different from the product grade of the foundry!"
In fact, foundries also have good products, depending on whether the brand is willing to invest more costs, such as Midea, a brand that focuses on cost-effective and market-grabbing the market, has very strict cost control, and it is normal for the texture to be poor.
Originally, many people came for the new products of Stardust Technology, but all the way through the booths of other brands... Seems to be pretty good to find? Since they've all come, they'll have to go around and see what's new.
After the main venue of the science and technology summit is over, there is a sub-venue, which is next door to the main venue, where there are also a lot of highlights, but Lu Dongchang and others chose to visit the main venue first, and then visit the sub-venue to see new energy vehicles.
Almost every brand that can participate in the competition has invested a lot of money, and is well versed in the way of painting cakes, even if they can't produce finished products, they will do their best to do a good job of concept products, even some little-known small brands are particularly ruthless.
Practical and everyday products, such as the booth called Changsu Technology, they saw the so-called "smart fitness equipment" products, a complete set of adjustable dumbbells, from 2.5~25kg to the whole section can be adjusted.
This is also the most commonly used weight range for most people, of course, there are some gods who will use dumbbells with a larger weight, but such people are too rare.
Compared with the traditional single dumbbell, its biggest advantage is that it does not take up space, if Chen Zifan is there, he will definitely be able to recognize these products at a glance, easy to use, but the price is a little too high.
Changsu Technology's booth not only has dumbbells, but also a full set of intelligent fitness equipment, as well as professional APP, as well as aerobics similar to games on the big screen, but unfortunately this project has no prospects.
Even sitch's fitness ring sales are average, and the domestic fitness APP first brother keep is losing money year after year, even if Changsu Technology makes the equipment good and smart, it can't resist that most people don't like to exercise.
Judging from the feedback from the scene, many people are quite happy to experience, and it really has a bit of a "happy fitness" flavor, but brands like this are specialized in niche products, and they are only marginal brands at the venue.
There are more mobile phone brands like Huami OV and other mobile phone brands, with Stardust Technology taking the lead, and they have released their own new products one by one, small size, large-size tablet computers, Bluetooth headsets with different design styles, various gorgeous and exquisite smartphones, and even folding screens.
Coke, which focuses on square mobile phones and is on the verge of bankruptcy, has made a small-size folding screen mobile phone similar to oppofindn, and their concept is also very simple: since the traditional square doesn't work, then I'll get a folding square head office, right?
After opening, the inner screen is still square, and the folded outer screen is a small-sized conventional smartphone, and the novel design attracts many onlookers.
Lu Dongchang and a few people were also attracted to it, went to the booth of Big Coke to have a brief experience, and then began to complain, but not about the product, but about the founder of Big Coke: "I don't know what Mr. Gao thinks, why do you have to be obsessed with squares?"
"But it's a little thing!"
"That's a bit good!"
"Huh? How can this big screen be concave in the middle? It's a bit of a way to affect the user experience!"
The staff next to him explained: "This is the normal crease generated by the flexible folding screen during the folding process, and the crease of the engineering prototype is indeed a bit deep, and the crease of the subsequent production version is not so obvious!"
Production version?
You're going out of business!
Is there still a chance for mass production?
But Lu Dongchang didn't say this
After all, at someone's booth, he didn't want to be beaten out.
If Stardust Technology produces such a product, with quality control and after-sales guarantee, even if the crease is a little deeper, it will definitely not worry about sales, but a small brand like Big Coke, even if the product is perfect, it is difficult to sell.
In contrast, there are more people at the booths of Huami OV, ZTE, Coolpad, Lenovo, Gionee, LeTV and a number of online sales brands, who not only have a complete product supply chain, but also have guaranteed shipping capabilities.
The number of offline stores of some brands even far exceeds that of Stardust Technology, but the quality is a bit average.
The fish and dragons are mixed, and the after-sales depends on luck.
Their products are more focused on "exploration", not to explore any new technology, but to explore new designs, such as what stainless steel version (bright silver), transparent exploration version, and some show new fast charging technology, the fastest are up to 80 fast charging.
But this is just a technology demonstration, using a dual-core solution, there is still a certain distance from mass production, if Chen Zifan wants to, he can even make a fast charge of more than 100 watts, but it doesn't make much sense to do this.
What Stardust Technology needs to do is to explore newer products, in comparison, these technologies seem to be more reasonable to put on other brands, but unfortunately 80 is not full blood, and no manufacturer can achieve full blood.
Including Stardust Technology, their battery fast charging scheme is currently only 50, but the single-core 50 with full blood is not of the same magnitude as compared with the dual-core 80 with residual blood, and there is also a gap in battery life.
In addition, other mobile phone manufacturers also showed their "Internet of Everything", including mobile phones, tablets, smart watches, Bluetooth headsets... They also have their own design language, and they look pretty good.
But compared with the products of Stardust Technology, it is a bit insufficient, not to mention the level of product interconnection of Stardust Technology, even if Chen Zifan remembers that Apple came in the 13th period, it may not be able to compare.
And the brand power is not at the same level as other domestic mobile phone brands, not to mention anything else, just compare Stardust Technology and their booths.
At the booth of Stardust Technology, the first thing you see is the three-dimensional model of the Changhe chip, and the model is still the soon-to-be-released Changhe 4, compared with the Changhe 3+, the improvement in various parameters is very large.
The number of cores has doubled!
Compared with the six-core Changhe 3+, the default CPU performance alone has been increased by 120%, and the GPU performance has been increased by 134%, which is almost equivalent to 2.5 times that of the Changhe 3+, which is not the level of extreme performance.
This is not the most powerful,The most powerful thing is that even if the Changhe 4 upgrade is so big,Its power consumption is still controlled very stable,Compared with the Changhe3+There is almost no change,There is no possibility of overturning at allγ
The improvement of the manufacturing process is so terrifying, it is completely impossible to make Stardust Technology produce a fire dragon.
Lu Dongchang and others walked all the way to the booth of Stardust Technology and saw a variety of new products, including some more convenient and practical smart homes, and gave them the illusion that they were outdated.
But this is still not as good as the moment when I saw Changhe 4, only the chip is the real core!
Lu Dongchang couldn't help but say:
"People only know that Stardust Technology has a good screen, a good battery, a good camera, and good workmanship, but they don't know that the strongest thing in Stardust Technology is the chip! I still remember the first two years... Forget it, don't mention this kind of bad thing!"
"Yes, Stardust Tech is not like that kind of liar, they have real things! Hiss ~ This chip is so strong? Double the upgrade! Come on?"
"It's normal to hold back for two years, and it's normal!"
"I think so too~"
"Wait! Come over here and see!"
"! What is this?"
"Nine-core CPU!? So big? Can the phone fit? Wait a minute! It doesn't seem to be for mobile phones! Is it for the computer? Host-level CPU!?"
Lu Dongchang never thought that he had just entered the scope of the Stardust Technology booth and saw such a hot thing, but it was normal to think about it, Stardust Technology has a chip production line, and it is a computer CPU
What?
Look further into the center of the stage... It was already completely full of people, and every now and then there was an exclamation, and he really couldn't imagine what was inside.
However, he still stayed for a while longer, and introduced the nine-core CPU in front of him to his phone:
"We can see that this is a CPU called the Shengong generation, and from the point of view of size, appearance, and shape, it should be used on computers, and I think this may be a signal released by Stardust Technology.
Next, Stardust Technology is likely to develop in this direction, and we can look forward to specific products~ Personally, I think Stardust Technology wants to divide the Intel CPU market and benchmark their core, so it shouldn't be a computer product..."
To put it simply, it is to be a CPU supplier, not a complete machine, which is also the most convenient way to make money.
But will it work?
Intel isn't a vegetarian!
Lu Dongchang was silently worried in his heart, but in any case, it must be a good thing that Stardust Technology is willing to develop in this area, and it is best to bring down the price of high-end CPUs, and don't let Intel dominate.
