i have an electronics factory

Chapter 80 Expatriate Engineer Team

Other configuration upgrades of Stardust 2, no matter how powerful Chen Zifan is, the perception is not so obvious, but 20W fast charging is different, the charging time of one and a half hours is far from six hours.

As long as you have the idea of ​​changing the phone in your heart, then the original phone has shortcomings no matter how you look at it, such as the screen is not big enough, the feel is not good enough... I completely forgot that when I bought Stardust 1, it was in the same state as it is now.

When someone got a new phone, he was very affectionate: "Don't worry, even if you leave brother, brother will still love you!"

Turning around and embracing the new phone, as long as the phone is replaced quickly, there will be no sadness but happiness!
At the same time, the first batch of buyers of Stardust 2 and Stardust Tablet in the Stardust community are also sharing their experience, from the outer packaging to the product and system:
"The packaging of Stardust Technology is still as exquisite as ever! You are really willing to use materials! You can't even find the flaws in the corners and corners. It is really very detailed!"

"Brothers, 20W fast charging is really awesome! An average of one battery is charged in one minute! It's as fast as the naked eye can see!"

"Now I can charge my phone while playing with it. It's cool, but my eyes can't bear it..."

"The purpose of fast charging is to make our lives more convenient, not to let you play with your mobile phone! By the way, this time the fast charging is very detailed. It will automatically cut off when the battery is full, so we don't need to keep an eye on it!"

There are also long comments on Stardust Tablet:
"From the actual use experience... Chen Dong said that it can be used for light work, which is no problem, but it is a bit unrealistic to expect him to meet all work needs. Some software functions...have yet to be developed.

but!If you regard the Stardust Tablet as a device for watching movies, listening to music, and playing games, then it is definitely the best hardware experience on the market at present!Once the four speakers are put on, the stereo sound is simply amazing!

Moreover, the sound quality of each speaker is very good, using the latest generation of Hongsheng's research and development products, even if there is some noise at high volume, it can be compensated by fine division of labor...

So if you are going for work or study, Stardust Tablet is not the best choice. You can already choose some laptops for 3999, but if you are going for entertainment and games... Believe me, Stardust Tablet can definitely bring Your most shocking audio-visual experience! "

After a wave of sharing, it further stimulated Stardust 1 users to buy new phones. Those with ample money are fine, but those who are short on cash and want to change can only choose to trade in the old for the new.

Is it a trick to trade in the old for the new?That must be a trap, and it was also done by Chen Zifan on purpose. First, he used ultra-high configuration to attract users, and then used the old for new to stimulate consumption, further expanding the share of the smartphone market.

At the same time, the price reduction of Stardust 1 and the domestic mobile phone brand products equipped with Hongqi OS have also allowed more people to touch the threshold of smart phones. Now even some knock-off phones for the elderly with big speakers are using "smart" as a selling point.

But it doesn't matter whether you are smart or not~

Of course, there will be some problems in doing so. Many people regard Stardust 2 and Stardust Tablet as a new trend, and there are some remarks similar to "face". Chen Zifan himself did not expect this to happen.

So when he saw some product reports submitted by Zhao Wushang, he couldn't believe it: "No, we are a domestic brand, and it's a mobile phone, and the starting price is not particularly high. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be."

Domestic BUFF doesn't work anymore?
The key point is that a mobile phone can be linked to face is outrageous. This is 3999, not 39999, and there is no special brand premium, and there is no other connotation to promote the product. How can it be linked to face?
Chen Zifan directly notified the Stardust Marketing Department, and asked them to guide the comments about Stardust mobile phones on the right track as much as possible. A product is a product, function, experience, cost performance, whether it can meet the demand...

These should be the criteria for judging.

He hopes that people's first reaction when mentioning Stardust Technology is "a technology brand that pursues technology development and product innovation", rather than a simple "big name".

On the second day after the Stardust press conference, the Stardust official website and the mall have been in a state of bursting orders. Not only the sales of the Stardust 2 and the Stardust Tablet are booming, but other electronic products are also out of stock in a short period of time.

For example: SD card, bluetooth speaker, mechanical keyboard, bluetooth membrane keyboard, third-party four-corner drop-resistant mobile phone case, wired earphone with fast USB interface...

Especially the last one, which provides a new choice for many Stardust users. Although it is not an official product, there is no one who can go to the Stardust Mall.

However, most of them dare not be like Stardust Technology, and dare to store so much product before the product is released. If it cannot be sold, shouldn't all the capital be thrown into their hands?Therefore, we can only produce according to the market conditions.

On the second day after the Stardust press conference, Stardust technology was blown to a new height on major TV stations, such as "doing experiments without wearing protective gear", "leading the era of intelligence", "dismantling Stardust high-tech"...

Programs like this emerge in endlessly. In these years, it can be said that the TV station is the most influential publicity channel, and the official channel is also very powerful, providing Stardust Technology with a considerable amount of advertising time.

Stardust 2 and Stardust Tablet have almost reached the level of household names without any promotion from the Stardust marketing department. Even in some remote villages, many people have learned about the products of Stardust Technology:
"Now are all mobile phones like this?"

"Computer too? Tablet computer? It really looks a bit like a 'tablet', and it's also a touch screen?"

"The keyboard can be disassembled? Put it together and connect it? How is this done?"

"wifi...wifi is..."

Whether it is wifi or 3G4G, the most difficult thing is not technology development, but promotion. If there is no Stardust technology, I am afraid that the promotion of 3G will consume a lot of manpower, material resources and time, and the progress may not be fast.

But with Stardust Technology and some of the more advanced products they provide, and showing huge profit margins, it will naturally speed up the progress of infrastructure construction.

Chen Zifan's philosophy is: "Use products to promote the popularization of infrastructure." Regardless of whether 3G is popularized or not, I will first manufacture 3G mobile phones and even 4G mobile phones, and you can figure out the rest.

What?Do not increase popularity?
I'm sorry, Stardust Technology can't control other places, but they still have the right to speak in Haicheng. After [analyzing the copycat] 3G technology, Chen Zifan will start preparing to promote the construction of base stations in Haicheng.

The official publicity resources are not taken for nothing, and money doesn't matter. Stardust Technology didn't pay much advertising fees at all, and only gave a symbolic labor fee, but the subsequent cooperation will be different.

From establishing a fab to building a foundry, every project is very troublesome. The secret of Stardust 1 has long been exposed. The outside world agrees: If you can modify and strengthen chips, can’t you still produce chips?

Can and can't...

What is possible is that the chip strengthening production line of the Stardust Factory can produce some functional machine chips with a perfect foundation, and can also be transformed into stitched chips for Stardust 1.

What is not possible is that Stardust Technology is not able to simplify the process for the time being and directly produce high-level smartphone chips. This will inevitably squeeze the space for other components when producing motherboards, resulting in an unreasonable structure.

If we increase the investment, [Analyze Shanzhai] some similar technologies and integrate them into one [Synthetic Creation], we can also produce smart phone chips, but they can't meet Chen Zifan's requirements for high-level chips.

Chen Zifan has never even seen some "high-end" production equipment, let alone [Analysis Shanzhai], but Chen Zifan also has his own solution. If he does not go abroad for the time being, he will arrange domestic ones first.

Form a team of engineers to "communicate" with some research institutes, scientific research institutions, and laboratories of high-tech colleges in the name of "visiting and learning". The purpose is not their experimental products, but equipment.

In the past, Chen Zifan’s [Analysis of Shanzhai]’s technical content was not high, so he could directly buy machines from the market and upgrade them. However, as the level improved, the lack of high-end production equipment became a drawback.

According to the normal development process, there is actually no problem, but it takes too long and consumes a lot of money, so it is better to concentrate all the existing things on Stardust Technology first, and then develop on its own after reaching a certain level.

At that time, Stardust Technology was far superior to what it is now in terms of scale, product strength, and basic level.

After choosing the target, Chen Zifan directly opened [Stardust Technology], selected 20 engineers who were not core members from the employee list, and then went directly to the Stardust Factory to inform them of the news:
"... Degree, Yan Jianbin, Liu Anrong, Xiao Haopeng... On June 6th we have a task to communicate and study with major scientific research institutions and laboratories. If anyone wants to quit, please contact me within three days..."

After Chen Zifan left, the engineers who were assigned gathered together and began to discuss. Stardust Technology usually does not have many business trips, and this is the first time for them to have such a large-scale and long-term business trip:
"Hey, why did Chairman Chen choose us for a business trip, and why didn't those big bosses choose?"

"What? You are not happy to give you a chance? Those bosses are already very high-level, and they are also busy with work. If they have time, they will go on a business trip for a month..."

"Can't you see that? Director Chen wants to train us, the current batch of main engineers!"

"Yeah! Work hard, we will be promoted and raised soon after we come back!"

"But that day I planned to ask for leave to accompany my girlfriend... Now it will take another month and a half."

"Girlfriend girlfriend... you know women every day! Listen to my buddy's persuasion, women will only become an obstacle to your promotion and salary increase! You have to work hard yourself!"

"Your grandma, Mr. Chen came to find someone in person. What do you mean you don't know? Girlfriend can see you next time, but if you miss the opportunity, it will be gone!"

"Here... let me tell her..."

Another thing happened during the preparation: Haicheng University contacted Zhao Wushang, hoping that Chen Zifan could participate in their outstanding alumni conference and give a speech on the development of science and technology to students at the conference.

"Distinguished Alumni Conference?"

"Yes, Haicheng University hopes to invite you back to school to give a scientific and technological speech to the students."

"Find a reason to push it away..."

It's not that Chen Zifan is lofty and unwilling to go back to school to give a speech, but that he is not familiar with Haicheng University at all...except for going in at the beginning, and then just contacting the counselor every semester to communicate.

He can't even recognize his own roommates, and he hasn't graduated yet. Although the counselor said that he can get his degree certificate and graduation certificate at any time, he actually wants to send someone to help him get it, so he won't go there.

Stardust Technology's recent work tasks are relatively heavy, and he doesn't have the heart to prepare a technology speech. He will talk about it when the conditions are right and there is a chance in the future.

Zhao Wushang also understood what he meant, and called Haicheng University back to express his apology:
"Yes, I just released a new product and I'm busy with work... I will definitely do it next time. Don't worry, just come to me if you need anything..."

At the same time, the three major operators also released news: "On September 9th, the annual World Mobile Communications Conference will be held in Barcelona, ​​Spain. At that time, the application prospects of the 15GSM project will be discussed...

Stardust, Huawei, Gionee, ZTE, Oppo, Coolpad, Newman, Hisense, LeEco, and many other domestic mobile phone manufacturers and Internet companies were invited to participate in this conference to create a better 3G future! "

Chen Zifan originally thought that this news would affect the sales of Stardust 2, but in fact it didn't. Everyone didn't care about 3G. On the one hand, the data network was not easy to use, and on the other hand, the popularity of wifi was too fast.

The three major operators have worked together, and wifi has covered hotels, Internet cafes, coffee shops, shopping malls, restaurants and other places in many cities across the country. The coverage area is large and the scope is wide, and it has also entered individual households...

On the other side ~ LeTV headquarters.

Boss Jia was very excited, and immediately held a high-level meeting. In the meeting, he said: "Our opportunity has come! As long as we build a 3G smartphone before Stardust Technology... LeEco mobile phones will skyrocket!"

Some executives immediately questioned: "But... with our current conditions, we can't make 3G smartphones at all. What are we going to use to participate in the World Communication Conference?"

Boss Jia didn't panic at all: "Don't worry, we can establish a project first, produce some concept machines, and then attract some investors to raise funds. As long as you have money, are you afraid that you won't be able to produce products?

You have to understand that what we do is not to complete all the work in one step, but to convey a concept, to convey LeEco's concept, in addition to mobile phones, we can also promote other products!

For example, LeEco Super TV supports wifi connection and has a Hongqi OS operating system!Another example is to install a touch screen on the refrigerator and washing machine, which can be controlled remotely to realize the intelligence of some home appliances..."

"But... Isn't our current project a LeTV video app? Are you in a hurry?"

"Urgent? Not at all urgent! Let me tell you, everything must be prepared as soon as possible! If we get early, we can take the same advantage as Stardust Technology. No matter how bad it is, I'm afraid it won't be worse than it is now, right? "

"It makes sense..."

While LeEco began to work hard, other domestic mobile phone manufacturers were not idle. Who doesn’t know that the short board of Stardust 1 and Stardust 2 is 2G network? 2G→3G is a qualitative leap and also a new opportunity for them.

They can realize it, how can Stardust Technology not realize it?In fact, some domestic manufacturers were able to receive the invitation, and Chen Zifan was behind it. He needed these domestic manufacturers to distract him.
