i have an electronics factory

Chapter 18

"Good! Well done!"

Chen Zifan didn't expect to be able to get five main engineers so easily. Bird...Meizu... It's understandable that these two engineers don't want to stay. Meizu is fine, and the core engineers won't leave.

But Bird is different. Even though Bird has sold tens of millions of units in 03, their profitability has always been a problem. The profit of a single mobile phone is too low, and the investment in publicity and shipping channels is high.

Some excellent engineers also rushed to Bird's title of "Number One in China", but after arriving, they found that it was completely different from what they imagined, and the technical department had very little funds.

The salaries offered are not sincere enough, and there is no good place to go if they want to change jobs. They have also learned about the information about Stardust Technology in this period of time, and there are almost no negative comments in Haicheng.

The newly launched product is very competitive, but unfortunately only Haicheng can buy it at present, and the cities far away can only look at this phone online, but how many people can often surf the Internet these days?
"If you want me to say, Stardust Technology should be just like Bird, directly advertising on TV!"

"Having said that, we have been in Bird for two years, and it's not like you don't know how expensive TV commercials are, especially the prime time at night. It's just..."

"I mean, it's our new company after all~ I definitely wish him better..."

"Ugh…"

Xie Shuhao, Liu Yu, and Zhang Xuxiao are the main engineers who are going to jump from the Bird Technology Department to Stardust Technology. People only see that these programmers make a lot of money, but they don't see the suffering.

Endless overtime, endless coding, endless bug fixes... After joining Bird, they originally thought that they would be able to work in a big company, and their work would be easier and their monthly salary would be higher, but...

Who would have thought that a programmer is not responsible for writing code, but actually has to work part-time as an accountant?work overtime?Sorry, they don't work normally~
I have to stay overnight at least twice a week, so I am short of living directly in the company. Obviously Bird’s R&D investment is not high, and the investment of software engineers is even less, but there is still unfinished work...

But who is easy?

At first, they didn't dare to take any risks when they received the invitation letter from Stardust Technology's personnel department. However, Stardust Technology didn't follow the rules and issued a document directly. As long as they agreed, they would directly pay a month's salary.

They also hesitated. The salary offered by Stardust Technology is more than twice that of Bird. The content of the contract in the document may be a bit harsh, but it can't stand the high salary and various benefits...

As for the "principle of voluntary overtime work" mentioned by Stardust Technology's personnel department, they don't believe it at all. What is voluntary or not? When the time comes, "overtime work is an obligation" and "we should treat the company as our own."

However, after using Stardust Technology, they discovered that this was not the case at all~

"What! No need to work overtime?"

"Are you kidding me? Really don't need to work overtime? Damn! Wouldn't that be great!"

"It's the right time this time! Whoever wants to work overtime will do overtime! Anyway, I don't want to!"

"Correct!"

The member of the personnel department in charge of recruitment looked at the devastated Bird engineer and the Meizu engineer who were looking at each other with a smile and said, "Technicians like you work overtime with double wages..."

"..."

"Double on holidays!"

"???"

“The cafeteria is free and there are staff dormitories~”

"!!!"

Xie Shuhao immediately took off his wig, pointed to his Mediterranean Sea and said, "I thank someone for always loving work! Never coming in late or leaving early! I am willing to devote my blood to Stardust Technology!"

"..."

In the end, the five people were assigned to the core area of ​​the Stardust Factory. Since the headquarters of the Stardust Network has not yet been built, they can only be temporarily assigned to the core area. It will take about 2 to 3 months.

The same is true for Stardust Express, the difference is that Stardust Express headquarters is located near the warehouse in the factory production area, which is convenient for direct delivery from the factory.

When Chen Jianjun founded Xinghua Electronics Factory, there were only a few iron houses with cement and asbestos tile roofs on them. The winter was cold and the summer was hot, and the employees suffered in every season.

But now, earth-shaking changes have taken place. Stardust Technology is increasing its production capacity while doing infrastructure construction. Let alone 1000 employees, even 3000 employees can be fully arranged.

However, too fast expansion can easily lead to management confusion, and it is also a burden, so Chen Zifan only recruits a few hundred people each time, and then gradually expands the scope and number of recruits.

The progress of Stardust Network/Express Delivery is what Chen Zifan is most concerned about now, especially Stardust Network. After the five main engineers joined the job, he specially asked five of them to come up with a few written test questions for entry.

The difficulty is very high, but it doesn't matter, you can enter the interview session if you can score 60 points, just like the postgraduate entrance examination, as long as you pass the written test, the interview questions are not too big, unless you are playing tricks...

The first batch of recruits mainly aimed at engineers majoring in computer science in Haicheng and surrounding cities, including fresh graduates and interns, and many of them were students from the computer department of Haicheng University.

It’s quite interesting to say that before, those students who scolded Stardust Technology = entered the electronics factory every day disappeared, not only kept silent about the electronics factory, but also submitted their resumes to participate in the Stardust Network written test.

The results can be imagined. None of the first batch of students who came to take the written test passed. They went back and continued to yell: "Who would do such a difficult question? I think the high salary is just a cover..."

"Yes! Deliberately creating problems to embarrass us! In fact, I am afraid that the positions have been assigned by default!"

"yes…"

Of course, there are also normal students. Haicheng University has a good undergraduate course, and there are still some excellent students. Chen Zifan found three students from Haicheng University in the list he got.

"Shao En, He Wenxing, An He...Huh? Girls? Do you mean Anle Wuyou and Fenghe? Hiss...this result?" Chen Zifan was a little puzzled, did he just pass 60 points?

However, this question is extremely difficult. It is enough to pass the written test with a score of 60. It is no problem to train a basic engineer a little bit. What Chen Zifan didn't know was that An He only did the question with a score of 60...

At the same time, at Haicheng University, An He was sharing what happened today with Bai Xianning: "Yun'er, I went to Stardust Technology today. This company... feels a little strange to me..."

An He organized his language a little bit, but he was still a little unclear: "I can't describe it, it's just... the employees of Stardust Technology make me feel a little unreal, a little too happy..."

"hapiness?"

Bai Xian was stunned for a moment, An He nodded vigorously and said, "Yes! Happy! Or relaxed! The person in charge who received us was also very nice and patient. He seems to be a person who loves his work~"

"Isn't this normal?"

"What's normal? It's not surprising that an employee loves their work, and it's not surprising that some employees love their work, but if every employee loves their work, the cohesion of this company will be terrible!"

"Is that so? I can't tell, you still understand these things~"

"Have you forgotten what his employees looked like when we went to my dad's company?"

Bai Xianning thought about it carefully, and couldn't think of a reason, so she had no choice but to say, "I don't remember, but you should have passed the written test, right? Are you going to work at Stardust Technology?"

"No!" An He shook his head without hesitation, then clenched his fists and waved, saying with high spirits: "I want to join a game company! I will definitely make the best games in the future!"

"Well, I believe you!"

"..."

-

At this time, Chen Zifan didn't know that someone was using Stardust Technology as an experience package. He just handed over some data of "Dust OS" to the main engineer in the core area of ​​Stardust Factory, and put forward his request:

"This is Stardust Technology's operating system: Dust OS, I hope you can..."

Xie Shuhao, Liu Yu, Zhang Xuxiao and others were a little confused at first, what?operating system?Looking at the picture that appeared on the computer screen next to him and Chen Zifan's introduction, he was immediately dumbfounded.

"Fuck! What is this?"

"Damn! Xiao Chen Dong! Absolutely! Who wrote this code! It's so fucking perfect!"

"...I always thought I was a pretty good programmer, but compared to him..."

"No wonder you have to sign a non-disclosure agreement."

"Don't dare to change randomly..."

Chen Zifan: "???"

He could only say that this was done by another project team of Stardust Technology, but the other project team had more important tasks to do, so the development of the operating system was handed over to Stardust Network.

After some communication, these engineers finally calmed down and began to listen carefully to Chen Zifan's request: "Efficient, concise, in line with human intuition, and develop applications based on this..."

The translation is to make the interface and animation well under the premise of ensuring the smoothness of "Dust OS", and then develop native applications on the basis of "Dust OS", such as clock, calendar, stardust applications...

The last one is the key point. The Stardust app is an app store, and the role of the app store goes without saying. It is the main weapon to end the era of feature phones, and it is also a big killer for Apple 3GS.

Unlike Stardust Technology, although Apple has not launched the first-generation iPhone, they still have an ipod product line. This year, the first-generation ipod nano newly released by Apple is a global hit.

Jobs knew that ipod products would be integrated into mobile phones in the future, so he did not hesitate to enter the mobile phone industry. At this time, Nokia did not take Apple's ipod products seriously~

They even openly mocked the ipod in the N95 ad, which means "Apple is suppressed by me", in addition to that, they have a similar ad with "I only have one thing in my pocket".

If Chen Zifan wants to lead Stardust Technology into the mobile phone market, he must come up with more powerful products before Apple and Android. It would be even better if he can overthrow Nokia and other brands.

As for the lack of applications in the initial Stardust application... what does that matter?In the early stage, even if there are relatively few applications that can be downloaded, it’s okay, everyone can accept it, and Stardust Network can develop applications by itself.

"Dust OS" is equivalent to a perfect foundation. It is not a problem to develop some simple applications on this basis. After Stardust products hit the market, third-party software companies will naturally join in.

The five main engineers also understood Chen Zifan's request. They alone would definitely not be enough, but there was nothing they could do for the time being. The HR department was still arranging interviews for new employees, so they had to do it themselves first.

After arranging part of the tasks of "Dust OS", the next problem that Chen Zifan needs to solve is the next two products of "Hai". He plans to learn from a company with a similar concept to Stardust Technology~
"If you don't settle for it, OnePlus!"

"Three-stage button!"

A company that pursues "quality and design" and "only makes high-quality goods", and later "doesn't pay attention to it". Among them, the three-stage button is one of the classic designs of OnePlus, but unfortunately it was abandoned by OnePlus.

Leaving aside the specific reasons, Chen Zifan needed such a design to create his new product. With the current hardware level of Stardust Technology, it is not too difficult to create a "smart machine".

"Customized frosted glass back cover, metal middle frame, curved transition, glass cover, fully laminated retina screen, large battery to ensure lightweight body, rear single camera, front... no front..."

In addition, the physical buttons on the front will be cancelled. Chen Zifan doesn’t even plan to make the home button. He is very confident in the smoothness and stability of the “Dust OS”, and he is not worried about problems such as freezing.

In addition, without a front camera, there is only one earpiece left on the front of the phone, and the earpiece is flattened, beautified, and hidden in the black border at the top of the screen. The upper and lower black borders are symmetrical, and the left and right are narrow.

A "full-screen mobile phone" similar to "OnePlus 1", but with a smaller overall body, more rounded corner transitions, a higher front screen ratio, and a better hand-feeling curved side transition was designed.

This product is going directly to the "smartphone" market, and Chen Zifan is not going to play with something that has to be done step by step, and he will have to be ruthless when he fights companies like Nokia and Apple.

If it is really produced, then Stardust Technology will be able to engage in the "accessory industry". Official mobile phone cases and tempered film are also a profit point, and it can also drive Stardust's after-sales development.

The second product is still a feature phone, but it uses a bolder design, which comes from Nokia Twist7705, or a more easy-to-understand name: rouge box phone.

One of the partners of Stardust Technology: Tianyu has also used this design, but the overall quality of workmanship, function, and user experience are much worse than those of Nokia, which is not at the same level at all.

In Chen Zifan's hands, he will only make this phone more perfect and impeccable. Although it is also a slanted model like "Hai", the competitiveness of this phone will only be stronger.

In addition, he is also planning to extract the Bluetooth headset technology on the "Sea" to make a Bluetooth headset with a storage and charging compartment, and by the way, cancel the 3.5mm headphone jack on the new product...

"It's making money~ It's not shameful!"

Strictly speaking, it is not called cancellation, because the 3.5mm headphone jack is not popular yet.

As the saying goes, the flaws do not hide the advantages. Before the 3.5mm headphone jack is fully popularized, they simply don’t make headphone jacks. They can sell a wave of Bluetooth headsets, but consumers have nothing to say, and other manufacturers don’t have headphone jacks!
There is nothing on the "sea" either!If you really can’t stand it, you can buy “Hai” and bring your own Bluetooth headset, so you don’t have to worry about losing it when you go out…

It's completely killing birds with one stone. Also, relying on the "sea" product alone is a bit monotonous. When there are more products, the expansion of the Stardust directly-operated store will be much smoother, and the store will not look so empty.
