Chapter 24 The Beginning of an Era
The so-called "last" not only refers to the last new product before the Spring Festival in 2006, but also refers to the last "feature machine" of Stardust Technology. Next, they will say goodbye to the feature machine completely.

With the "Sea" product opening up the situation, Stardust Technology is well-known in Haicheng and surrounding cities. At least those who have seen Stardust directly-operated stores and authorized stores will be deeply impressed.

Since Stardust Technology changed its strategy, the number of Stardust authorized stores has shown a blowout development, not only in Haicheng and surrounding cities, but also in mainland cities.

According to Wang Jinli's statistics, during the period from January 1st to 1st, the number of Stardust authorized stores has exceeded 21, but so many stores have not brought higher profits to Stardust Technology.

Only one product is too weak, similar to the franchise fee, it has made a lot of money, but the follow-up profit is too little, and the product "Hai" is too single, not enough to support a brand.

Therefore, the promotion of "box" is very important. Before January 1, 26 "boxes" have been distributed to various Stardust direct stores, authorized stores, and dealers of all levels.

At the same time, the audience registration for the press conference has also changed from offline to online. This time, 500 conference audiences were directly recruited, and the venue of the conference has also changed from a medium-sized conference center to a large open-air conference center.

On the day of the press conference on January 1, in addition to 26 spectators, there were nearly 500 employees of Stardust Technology, as well as journalists from newspapers, Internet media, and TV stations that Wang Jinli spent a lot of money to invite...

There were nearly 1000 people at the press conference. Although the atmosphere was not comparable to that of basketball, football and other sports events, among domestic brands, the press conference of Stardust Technology was also called "lively".

Of course, Chen Zifan will not admit that this is because most of his friends do not hold press conferences...International brands hold press conferences abroad, but domestic brands do not. Naturally, Stardust Technology is more prominent.

At 9:30 in the morning, there were already reserved audiences at the entrance of the conference center. Due to the relatively small passageway and the need for security personnel to confirm the information, more and more people lined up at the entrance...

"Hey, give way!"

"Good brother! Don't squeeze! No matter how anxious you are, you have to sit according to the number when you go in!"

"Line up! We are all talented people! Only those who line up properly can get in quickly!"

"Damn, so many people..."

"..."

In fact, it was just a squeeze at the entrance, and it was much more spacious after entering the conference center, and Chen Zifan didn't understand why many gymnasiums and conference centers were designed with such narrow passages with little traffic.

After the first batch of spectators lined up to enter, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "It's so difficult!"

"It counts!"

"Where are you? No. 39 in row F? I'm number 26 in row C. The seat is in the front!"

"Damn it, I didn't get drawn in the front row, so I can't help it, now I can only watch the big screen..."

"Oh no! Why did that guy go to the first row? Isn't he also a spectator?"

"Hehe, that's no ordinary audience, he owns the biggest licensed store in Beijing!"

"Brother Xiaoyao? The legendary 'I'm Happy' guildmaster? Damn, I met him in the game, and his equipment is more than ten w..."

"The serious rich second generation of the capital also opened the largest Stardust authorized store in the capital. The scale, good guy, is even more impressive than the Stardust self-operated store!"

"He even complained about this on the forum, saying why do you require the authorized stores to be small? He is going to open a big one for Stardust Technology to see."

"Bad, it's not because Stardust Technology doesn't accept his investment and doesn't let him open a direct store..."

"Anything else?"

"..."

As for why this "Brother Xiaoyao" was able to sit in the first row, it was because he bought the seat in the first row directly from a newspaper company. Even Chen Zifan couldn't understand this kind of strange operation.

"I know you may be rich, but that's not how you spend money!"

Zhao Wushang mentioned this person to Chen Zifan, his name is Mo Shaokun, the specific information is not clear, but it is very likely that he is the son of a high-level executive of the Huaya Group, and he has done a lot of weird things in his daily life.

For example, I rented a track for 60 yuan and hired a group of racers to drive a van to run the race. Whoever wins will get a cash reward of 5 yuan. It is said that several vans broke down directly that day.

Another example is opening an imported motorcycle shop, not to sell cars, but to collect them and use them as exhibition halls. All of them are large-displacement water trucks that cannot be bought in China, and I don’t know how he brought them in.

But Mo Shaokun can be regarded as abiding by the law. He doesn't ride these cars on the road, he just collects them. Why doesn't he collect cars... In fact, he also collects cars, but he doesn't disclose them to the public.

Electronic products can be regarded as Mo Shaokun's "new collection item". He has already piled up a lot of mobile phones from Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola, Samsung, and Sony Ericsson at home. Logically speaking, there is no shortage of mobile phones.

Until one time, a group friend pulled a newcomer into the group he created, and the newcomer added his contact information, saying that he would buy a mobile phone on behalf of him, and it would cost 100 yuan for errands, and it would be delivered to his door for free...

At that time, when he heard that it was a domestic brand, he was not interested at all, but the promotional video sent by the group of friends made him feel a little interesting, so he ordered one directly, and only after receiving it did he realize that things were not easy.

"Is this the packaging of a domestic mobile phone? Is this the workmanship of a domestic mobile phone? Is this the design of a domestic mobile phone? This is... a rubbish mobile phone system!"

In Mo Shaokun's eyes, "Sea" is like a dancing fairy in the world. It is extremely attractive on the outside, but it tastes like corn stubble when it opens its mouth. The gap between inside and outside is too great.

"It's a pity, if this is equipped with a Symbian system, it will be at least 1000 yuan more expensive..."

Mo Shaokun played with the "sea" in his hand with some regret, and took it to the company to use for a few days. If it was slightly stained, he put it under the faucet and washed it directly, which shocked many Huaya Group employees.

"Brother Mo! Where did you buy your phone? It's also waterproof! Oh, and you even have a Bluetooth headset!"

"As expected of Brother Mo! The taste is good! With this mobile phone, it looks a lot trendy~"

"..."

After enjoying the praise of the company employees for a few days, Mo Shaokun found someone to give away this mobile phone, and bought three "Hai" with different colors, and put them in his collection rack.

"Perfect without unpacking!"

Later, Mo Shaokun discovered that Stardust Technology is not only a new company, but also has a lot of cooperation with Huaya. Even the large LED screen at the entrance of the head office is specially customized from Stardust Technology.

After seeing Stardust's directly-operated store, he wanted to try opening one himself.By the way, he wanted to have a different style, but Stardust Technology directly refused, and said that if he wanted to open, he could only open an authorized store.

How could Mo Shaokun, who always did his own thing, bear it?So they directly bombarded the Stardust Technology official on the forum: "Only allow authorized stores? Sorry, my authorized stores are better than your direct stores!"

Facts have proved that he has indeed done it, and why did he come to this press conference... Chen Zifan felt that this guy just had nothing to do, he had too much money and didn't know how to spend it, so he could only look around for fun.

Looking at Mo Shaokun, who was sitting in the middle of the first row with Erlang's legs crossed, Chen Zifan couldn't help complaining: "Damn! Don't play with your car, play with your watch, why go to our Stardust Technology conference?"

He believes that Stardust Technology's products and "luxury" are not related, and Mo Shaokun can also get the "box" goods in advance, so why go from Beijing to Haicheng to see some press conference?
Mo Shaokun himself didn't think so at all. He was frowning and observing the surrounding environment at this time: "The layout is not bad, but unfortunately the style doesn't match. If it were me, I would definitely build a place by myself..."

That's what Chen Zifan thought, and he did as well, but Stardust Technology's own conference center is still under construction, and it's not ready for use yet.

After all the preparatory work was over and all the on-site personnel were in place, Zhao Wushang finally boarded the press conference stage amidst brisk music and huge posters, and began to introduce today's new products:

"Rotate freely, move as you like..."

"Well, the design is good~"

"3.2-inch large multi-touch screen, supports up to five-point touch..."

"This screen... is a bit tasteless,"

Mo Shaokun couldn't help shaking his head in the audience, which was in stark contrast to the cheers around him. Without a good system, the touch screen is not easy to use.

"2200mAh battery..."

"What's the use of a big battery? Charging is much slower than a small battery, and you can't replace it."

"Eight wrap-around antennas, symmetrical dual speakers up and down, colorful glass back cover..."

"Sure enough!"

A giant in hardware, Wu Dalang in software, he has seen the quality of workmanship, and the workmanship level of the "box" is better than some of the most expensive models of international brands, but the Case system is holding back.

The gap in hardware is the easiest to make up, so Mo Shaokun dared to assert: "If Stardust Technology does not get an excellent system within two years, it is very likely that it will be surpassed by other brands..."

Unless Stardust Technology can make a new breakthrough in the hardware level and maintain the hardware advantage, but he really can't think of how to improve the phone's hardware level to another level.

"Is it possible to use rare materials..."

Just when Mo Shaokun was frowning and thinking, Zhao Wushang had already introduced the "box" product, but he did not announce the price, but took out five protective cases with different colors.

"In order to better protect our mobile phones, we tailor-made a liquid silicone protective case for the 'box', which can play a great role in cushioning and wrapping the mobile phone when it falls, and can also increase the feel..."

It has to be said that the protective case of Stardust Technology does not cost a few dollars from the inside to the outside. The fluff inside, the logo, the anti-slip sticker on the side, and the anti-fingerprint coating on the outside are all very good in texture.

After a brief demonstration, Zhao Wushang directly announced the final price of the "box" and the protective case: "The final price of the 'box' is 2899 yuan! The price of the colorful silicone protective case is 99 yuan!"

There was a burst of cheers at the scene. Of course, this could not be separated from the leadership of Stardust Technology staff... But Mo Shaokun, who was sitting in the first row, did not applaud and cheer together, because this was not what he wanted.

"I always feel that there is something missing in these products, what is it missing?"
