Chapter 65 Expansion and Upgrade

When Zhao Wushang saw the planning plan of the Stardust 1 limited edition, he also put forward an opinion: "The bamboo rhyme version only has a 16GB version, and it is still available for 4199 yuan, but in this way, there must be users of the standard version who are not satisfied.

So we can launch a bamboo rhyme version of the mobile phone case, and you can also enjoy the customized Stardust OS theme. Putting on the mobile phone case from a distance, it is no different from the bamboo rhyme version, and the mobile phone case still sells for 99 yuan! "

Chen Zifan:? ? ?

It has to be you!Good guy, this wave of leek cuts, on the surface, is to sell the bamboo rhyme version of Stardust 1, but in fact it is to sell mobile phone cases... It is not impossible to sell it, but the texture of the mobile phone case will be worse.

Since there is no manual link, it is all produced by machines, and the details must not be in place, but after all, it is a product of Stardust Technology, no matter how bad it is, it can't be far behind.

After it was confirmed, the mobile phone case supplier began to work overtime to select bamboo, and invited several bamboo weaving masters to start production after remodeling a wave of machines.

But after all, it was supported by Stardust Technology. Even if Chen Zifan wanted to make a "vacuum engraved and embossed retro ivory phone case", they had to find a way to make it.

In the Stardust factory, after training, the workers began to polish the bamboo back cover. Chen Zifan only gave them two and a half months of processing time.

Considering the loss in the actual process, it is quite difficult to produce 11+ bamboo rhyme version Stardust 10 before November. If there is no accident, this batch of products will be launched from December to January.

Chen Zifan didn't know when Apple 1 would be launched, so he could only prepare early, but Nokia had already prepared the Nokia N85 equipped with the new Symbian system, and wanted to make a splash in the market.

To be honest, with the four physical function keys after sliding sideways, plus the large front screen, and the buttons below that are more in line with people's traditional perception of mobile phone design style, its sales cannot be low.

This is like the various huge gear machines in the steam age. Although they have been eliminated, they still have their unique charm and attract some people.

In this era of functional phones and smart phones, the Nokia N85 may be their last glory, and Chen Zifan can be regarded as seeing the end of the empire again, and the next moment is the moment when the new king ascends the throne.

Taking advantage of the production period of the bamboo rhyme version of Stardust 1, Chen Zifan also began to expand and upgrade the Stardust factory. The expansion is to expand the production capacity of existing businesses and make room for new businesses.

For example, Xinghan Zhixing's new energy vehicle project, the promotion of this work is destined to be very difficult, from products to infrastructure, each content will cost a lot of manpower, material resources, and social resources...

The upgrade is to make the layout of the existing business more reasonable and improve semi-automation. From electronic waste recycling to raw material sales, lithium battery processing, to motor R&D and production, to mobile phone factories and new energy vehicle factories, every machine is used rationally. stand up.

Many people think that how could auto processing have something to do with mobile phones?In fact, the two are closely related. For example, in the future, oppo's star diamond and star rain lithography will use BYD's technology and factories.

In addition to the expansion and upgrade of the Stardust Factory, the foundation construction of [Stardust Blueprint] should continue to be completed. It has been stuck at 5% of the progress before, and now it can be improved a wave, first to about 10%.

"In this way, it's another nearly 20 billion investment and expenditure... His grandma's, this money can't help but spend, fortunately, the net profit level of Stardust 1 is relatively high..."

星尘1从6月11日上市后，到现在9月20日，三个多月的时间一共卖出了1360万台，平均每台纯利润1106元。

The cost of raw materials is low, even close to zero. After recycling e-waste, some unused raw materials can be directly wholesaled at market prices or lower prices, offsetting the cost of purchasing waste.

The research and development investment is also low. If it is not for cover, the technology research and development of Stardust Technology can even reach zero cost, and there is no such thing as cost recovery. The rest is only manpower, operation, taxation, etc.

On the whole, it is not surprising that the minimum starting price of Stardust 1 is controlled within 4000, and the net profit margin can be increased to such a high level.

When expanding and upgrading the Stardust Factory and laying the foundation, Chen Zifan also became curious about some of the content in [Stardust Drawings]: "What is this big ring for? Just for good looks?"

Then he found a (see details) words appearing directly below the big circle in his consciousness: "Power generation equipment can be added to integrate solar energy, wind energy, and thermal energy to generate electricity through converters..."

Chen Zifan: ...

At first glance, it looks awesome, but it is actually useless to the current Stardust technology. The level of technology cannot be reached, and that kind of high-level integrated generator cannot be manufactured at all, and the manufacturing cost must be very high.

"Hey, let's develop honestly. Don't think about these things. This is the basic blueprint. There may be some weird things in the future."

During the expansion and upgrading of the Stardust Factory, Mo Shaokun came to the site as a contractor and brought a few friends with him. Chen Zifan knew at a glance that it was the second-generation rich team, so he asked Wang Jinli to greet him.

Wang Jinli passed away without saying a word, and became friends with the second generation in one afternoon. In his eyes, this is not a rich second generation. It is simply a walking cash machine, sending money and resources. of.

Several second generations pampered each other, each of them had a lot of knowledge, but Wang Jinli couldn't stop him from being fooled, and the next day, the elder brother followed him one by one.

Chen Zifan felt ashamed of this kind of interpersonal skills, but Mo Shaokun was obviously not on the same level as those people. While he was supervising the work, he had another important thing to tell Chen Zifan:

"I've seen the new energy car you designed. The idea of ​​a two-door car is good. If it can be produced, it must be exquisite. According to your standard, the cost of that car cannot be only 4 yuan."

Chen Zifan:? ? ?

"It shouldn't be. I've done the math. After the full set is produced, we'll at least...wait!"

Only then did Chen Zifan realize that he had overlooked an important factor: new energy subsidies, and the cost of lithium batteries disclosed by Stardust Technology is not the same as the actual cost, so there is a calculation error.

Mo Shaokun also took the opportunity to put forward his own opinion: "I think if our positioning can be improved a bit... to reach the price range of 7.99 to 9.99, the product will be better and the operating space will be larger."

Having said that, you can grab a lot of oil cars that can be bought for 7.99 yuan, and you can buy Japanese cars that people think are made by Pishina for 9.99 yuan. Why buy a new energy tram?And a mini car?

"How much did you calculate the cost?"

"Well... 5.02 units in the early stage, the cost will be reduced when the production capacity increases, and it will drop to about 4.8 units, but the premise of increasing production capacity is that the sales volume is high!"

"According to the existing standards, an entry-level mini car doesn't need to be equipped with everything, but you have to make a choice. Let me ask you, do you want to make a 9.99 luxury car or your B-class coupe?"

"Of course...I see."

Mo Shaokun immediately realized that his old problem was repeated. The blueprint provided by Chen Zifan was actually not a big problem, but he was used to luxury cars, so he always felt that the above products were a bit too simple.

The cost he calculated is actually not a big problem, but Stardust Technology's lithium battery has a stable production capacity, more mature technology, and low cost, which will be about 3000 yuan lower than the cost of the whole vehicle he calculated.

If we can fight for some subsidies, the cost will be even lower. Based on Stardust Direct Stores and Stardust Express, starting from first-tier and quasi-first-tier cities, it is enough to build 1 to 3 brand direct stores in each city. .

As for the sales volume issue... that is not something that should be considered now. The new energy vehicle project is a loss-making business in the early stage, so it would be good to keep the investment cost.

First develop for a period of time, wait for the infrastructure to be built, and then start from Haicheng when the time is right, and start from Haicheng to harvest the fuel vehicle market one by one and promote new energy vehicles.

If nothing else, Xinghan Zhixing's first new energy vehicle will be launched at the same time as the Stardust 3 series, and it will bring something different.

During the two months from the end of September to the end of November, the sales of Stardust 9 remained stable. During this period, the parts suppliers across the sea saw that the suppliers of the Stardust ecological chain were developing too rapidly, and hurriedly continued to sell products.

As a result, Huaxia mobile phone manufacturers didn't buy it at all. In addition to the pressure from the suppliers of the Stardust ecological chain, the official also played a considerable role in it. Why don't they sell it?Then just don't sell it.

I have no choice but to continue to sell, but after such a release, their orders for components and sensors plummeted, and now I have regrets and my intestines are green...

Your sister, if you don't want to sell it, you don't sell it, and if you want to sell it, you want to sell it. How can there be such a good thing in the world?

At the end of November, Chen Zifan finally received the long-lost good news that MediaTek’s chip tape-out was successful, and brought two chips:

In addition to the Dimensity 200, there is also a Helio P20. In order to be consistent with the Dimensity 200, the MediaTek Helio P20 also skipped the P10 chip.

And he is going to declare to the outside world: "Our products have been developed for two generations and are very reliable!"

The performance level of Helio P20 is equivalent to about 200% of that of Dimensity 65, and it is a little weaker than the stitching chip on Stardust 1, but its advantage is that it is cheap, and it is estimated that it will become the first choice of many domestic mobile phone manufacturers.

After all, the current Hongqi OS has also been developed for a period of time, and some powerful domestic mobile phone manufacturers have already made a UI that can be used for commercial use.

At the same time, the overtime production of 10 bamboo rhyme version Stardust 1 has also been completed. In addition to the back cover, the charger, charging cable, and packaging box have all been customized and redone, which is more suitable for the bamboo rhyme version. theme.

On the other hand, Apple 1, which has been polished for two months, finally barely met Jobs' requirements. They immediately released the news and called a large number of media.
