Chapter 222: The Naming Problem
Chen Zifan briefly checked the order information in the background, the first batch of orders for Xinghan 004 has reached 23,658 units, and it is no problem to process this batch of orders with the total capacity of Xinghan Automobile Factory, but...
The production capacity allocated to Xinghan 004 is not much!
Fortunately, Xinghan Zhixing's public relations team is currently the first-class level among domestic automobile manufacturers, and it is not too easy to deal with a simple problem of explosive orders, which is nothing more than to let users wait for a few more days for the car, and then compensate for a small gift, send a few free maintenance, and then hype up the heat.
Xinghan 004 not only will not affect the reputation and sales because the order cannot be delivered on time, but it can also create a scene for consumers that Xinghan 004 is a popular car, or even an entry-level god run.
In fact, Chen Zifan ignored several important factors, Xinghan 002 is an SUV, the SUV market is still in the development stage, even if the SUV model has such and such advantages, it is still a bit difficult to impact the sedan in a short period of time, not to mention that it is still a tram.
Xinghan 004 is completely different, really about the size of the space, it is actually not smaller than the average A-class car, and it is slightly smaller than the A-class coupe Xinghan 001 under Xinghan Zhixing, but in terms of appearance and return rate... Xinghan 001 can't catch up even if he shoots a horse.
And at this stage is the incremental quality stage of the Huaxia automobile market, the entry-level sports car is relatively playful, all things considered, a large number of owners who originally wanted to buy Xinghan 001 and Xinghan 002 turned their heads into the warm embrace of Xinghan 004.
Coupled with the current brand power of Xinghan Zhixing's "only domestic production", it is not surprising that the order explosion is not surprising, Chen Zifan is more concerned about the market feedback of several cars, including Xinghan OTO's electric motorcycle.
Since the last appearance of Xinghan 009, Xinghan OTO's direct store plan has begun, first of all, starting from municipalities directly under the central government and provincial capitals, there are three large-scale direct stores in first-tier cities such as Beijing and Haicheng, as well as authorized stores that cooperate with dealers...
As well as the online channels with the blessing of Star Express, the sales growth of Xinghan OTO's electric motorcycles is also very exaggerated, after all, this is already a "high-end electric motorcycle".
No matter how well the traditional fuel motorcycle is done, even if the four-cylinder engine of the four major Japanese manufacturers, or the popular model of Haojue, which is famous for its quality and engine running quality, will still be pressed to the ground by the electric motorcycle in terms of running smoothness.
Innate advantages are not blown~
But if you have ridden both kinds of cars, it is easy to feel that the fuel motorcycle has reached the ceiling level, and you can get an evaluation of "comparable to electric vehicles", of course, the consequence of the electric motorcycle being too smooth is that it is easy to feel the quality of other things.
For example, frame, shock absorption, brakes...
Fuel motorcycles shake up, shock absorption is not easy to feel even if it is garbage, but electric motorcycles are different, once the accessories are a little almost almost you can feel it immediately.
This is also the main difference between low-end electric vehicles and high-end electric motorcycles, not only reflected in the motor, battery, general manufacturers may not notice the difference between the two, will follow the traditional manufacturing thinking to build electric motorcycles.
But how could Chen Zifan, who is a detail maniac, not notice it? He hopes to make every product of Stardust Technology and Xinghan Zhixing a "boutique", and he has to start from the details, but the high-end accessories on the market are very lacking, far less abundant than more than ten years later.
Therefore, Chen Zifan can only come by himself, from the motor, battery→ shock absorption, caliper, and upper pump, which are either produced by a direct subsidiary of Stardust Technology, or invested heavily in the research and development and production of other companies by Stardust Technology.
By the way, many of the technologies in Chen Zifan's [Stardust Technology] were brought into play in advance, and a subsidiary even got the electronic air suspension out, but the practicability of this thing in the electric motorcycle is average, and the product is not perfect, so it is not used as an accessory.
While other manufacturers are still using imported accessories as the selling point of their products, Xinghan Zhixing's electric motorcycles and automobiles have embarked on the road of independent one-stop production.
The advantage is that once it succeeds, Xinghan Zhixing will become the absolute king in the field of new energy, but the disadvantage is that it is too difficult, and the profit margin in the early stage is a little too low.
or
It is endorsed by the electronic products of Stardust Technology, how dare Xinghan Zhixing set such a low price? A 200,000 new energy vehicle, the profits are stripped down layer by layer, and it can only be about 20,000 yuan to Xinghan Zhixing.
Which car manufacturer can be so miserable?
Look at those imported cars, as soon as they come to Huaxia, they will make hundreds of thousands of profits at every turn, and there are a bunch of supporters who buy them at a higher price, and then look at Xinghan Zhixing... Ay~
However, Chen Zifan will not be affected by this, he doesn't want these things, and even if he wants it, just a domestic BUFF is not so easy to get, unless he plays a dark Chen Cang, and a new brand overseas will cut leeks domestically.
Otherwise, it can only develop according to the existing plan.
As for Xinghan OTO's electric motorcycles, as long as there are a few stable large-scale direct stores stationed in each province, coupled with some powerful motorcycle dealers to cooperate with authorized stores, offline sales will soon be opened.
In this way, I am afraid that ten years later, it will be difficult for those motorcycle brands in Chen Zifan's memory, such as Kaiyue, Chunfeng, Benda, etc., ten years is enough time for Xinghan OTO to improve the product power of electric motorcycles to a very terrifying level, how can there be a motorcycle to live?
Chen Zifan opened the mobile APP of Xinghan OTO, clicked on the dealer query page, the first and second-tier cities have been fully covered, plus a few new products, as soon as next spring passes, sales will begin to exert force.
Why not now?
Big winter.
How many anti-freeze bikes are there?
If you have a choice, you must drive in winter!
At the same time as Xinghan Automobile and Electric Motorcycle layout, Chen Zifan has not forgotten what the main business of Stardust Technology is, before the Spring Festival in 2010, Stardust Technology also has one of the heaviest products - Stardust notebook.
According to the plan, it will be released on December 22.
Taking advantage of the popularity of Xinghan 002, Xinghan 004 and other models, the official account of Stardust Technology also began to release news, saying that Stardust Technology's first "unknown architecture" PC CPU will be released before January, which really scared many manufacturers.
No one expected Stardust Technology to move so fast, and the CPU at the Technology Summit some time ago had just been unveiled and released at the end of the year? There may have been many people who doubted it before, but now...
Everyone knows that Stardust Technology has this strength.
The most uncomfortable thing is Intel, Huaxia is one of Intel's main markets, who knows that as soon as Stardust Technology's PC CPU comes out, Huaxia's local brands will choose Stardust CPU? Who knows if there is something else behind Stardust Technology, such as an operating system?
Not only did Nvidia and AD have no sense of crisis, but the main person in charge also publicly stated in a subsequent reporter's interview: "Nvidia/AD does not rule out the possibility of cooperating with Stardust Technology in the future..."
This sentence is very level.
Seeing this scene, some other graphics card manufacturers in the world have also said that if Stardust Technology's CPU is attractive enough, they will also consider cooperating with Stardust Technology.
As everyone knows, Chen Zifan has already started to develop his own graphics card in the base of the Changhe chip project, and on December 22, it is not just as simple as releasing a PC-side CPU, but a real PC-side product.
The completion of the Stardust notebook is infinitely close to 99%, and there is no problem with the hardware, after all, this is the specialty of Stardust Technology, not to mention the software, which can be upgraded at any time in the future.
However, there is very little news about Stardust notebooks, and even few loyal Stardust users in the Stardust community have guessed it, or they didn't guess that it would be so fast, and they are still discussing around the CPU:
"I don't know how Stardust Technology's CPU is, I just set up a host last month, so I should wait."
"I don't think there should be any problem, isn't the chip on Stardust's phone very stable? Moreover, Stardust Technology has its own production line, which can be tested at any time."
"Yes!"
"But isn't it too late?"
"Why are you in such a hurry! Polish!"
"I'm not very optimistic, because the mobile phone chip is different from the computer CPU, don't look at Stardust Technology's nice words, such a complex architecture, I don't believe it doesn't have problems, and the compatibility is also unknown!"
"Yes! Will it work with indos?"
"Probably right?"
「……」
Since you are ready to enter the PC field, you are also starting from the CPU, and it is definitely not a problem to adapt to an indos, and the current batch of indos has also been analyzed by [Stardust Technology], what can't be adapted? But the most suitable one is definitely Stardust OS.
Chen Zifan originally envisioned that the PC version of Stardust OS would be similar to the later in10 and in11, but the actual result was more like acOS, which really gave him a headache for a while, because he didn't want to be labeled as a copycat acOS by some people.
After all, Apple was decades earlier.
Taking advantage of this last half a month, no, it should be said that it started a month ago, and the team in charge of the PC version of Stardust OS started from the UI interface and changed to a completely different style, so that the PC version of Stardust OS became its own set of style and operating logic.
Different from indos、acOSAt the same time,The difficulty of getting started is still very low,The design of the UI interface is even more pleasing to the eye,With the exquisite appearance of the Stardust notebook,Super high appearance and texture...
The next hit product has been booked in advance.
What?
Isn't winter the peak season for laptop sales?
Stardust Technology said it didn't believe in this evil.
In fact, Chen Zifan didn't think about any popular models at that time, and he planned more bullish products at next year's Stardust press conference, so the current Stardust notebook can only be aggrieved as a thin and light book.
It's not that it's bad.
Before the release of the Stardust Notebook, there was only one final job left: the naming of the product.
