After Mo Shaokun left, Zhao Wushang hurriedly came up to him and asked in a low voice and with some hesitation: "Little Director Chen, is it really okay to rely on him? After all, he is from the Huaya Group. Are we..."

Chen Zifan raised his hand and said: "Don't worry, he is not important. What is important is to use the shipping channels of Huaya Group behind him. After receiving the first two waves of repayments, we will expand the scope of Stardust Direct Stores!"

Relying on shipments from Huaya Group and mobile phone dealers is only a stopgap measure. In the future, Stardust Technology's main shipping method will have to rely on direct stores and official shopping platforms. As for Mo Shaokun... it is just a connection hub.

He wanted to develop and design new energy vehicles, so Chen Zifan asked him to do it. Want to develop and design? Can! Want to join and open a store to sell products together? That’s ok too! But I want shares in Stardust Technology and its affiliated companies...

Then I'm sorry~

However, after being in contact for a while, Mo Shaokun himself seemed not too interested in commercial things. According to Wang Jinli, he had already transferred many of Mo Shaokun's supplier resources to Stardust Technology.

This may seem a bit unkind, but Mo Shaokun also got a lot of benefits after joining Stardust Technology. It can only be said that they use each other and cooperate with each other. One wants to have shipping channels, and the other wants to pursue his ideals...

"In two years, I need to make our direct store shipping capacity and volume account for at least 50%. Then I will notify Li Yuan and prepare to summarize the complete report from June 11th to July 1st. !”

"knew!"

Zhao Wushang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Chen Zifan's statement. The more he came into contact with people from Huaya Group, the more he knew that the strength of Stardust Technology was not enough. He was really worried that something would go wrong one day.

Of course, what he didn't know was that Chen Zifan had [Stardust Technology], and all employees who registered for Stardust Technology, whether they were basic workers or senior executives of the Stardust factory, would be subtly affected.

The specific performance is as follows: as the working hours increase, the sense of dependence, trust and responsibility for Stardust Technology will increase, and then they will become their own people.

Wang Jinli is a typical example. When he first established Stardust Technology, Chen Zifan knew that his hands were dirty and he would use various excuses to make a fortune every now and then, just to satisfy his extravagant consumption.

Chen Zifan is not afraid that Stardust Technology executives have dirty hands, but is afraid that they are incompetent, so he has always turned a blind eye to these things. Fortunately, Wang Jinli also knows where the bottom line is.

But since Wang Jinli was promoted to [Stardust Employee], not only has his ability become much stronger, but he has become less greedy. He even often takes the initiative to work overtime and leads the marketing department to maintain the positive image of Stardust Technology.

This was simply impossible before. Combined with the performance of Zhao Wushang, Li Yuan and others... Chen Zifan also understood why there is a level of [Stardust Employee], and [Stardust Employee] is the beginning.

Therefore, Chen Zifan is not worried about the threat that Mo Shaokun will pose to Stardust Technology. Firstly, he has no pursuit of business. Secondly, he is a regular employee of [Stardust Technology], but his level is not high enough.

The estimated output of Stardust 1 is 30 million units. If all of them can be sold, Stardust Technology will earn at least 30 billion in hardware profits alone, not to mention the Internet software and other profits of Stardust OS ~

Stardust directly-operated stores, Stardust official website, and Stardust Mall account for 8 million units. Don’t underestimate these 8 million units. Compared with other shipping channels, Stardust Technology’s official channels earn at least 350 yuan more per unit. .

After all, this is a huge profit. Perhaps only Stardust Technology in the entire mobile phone industry can achieve such exaggerated hardware profits, unless it has no conscience and can sell one to make a profit...

Of course, the most powerful thing is the official. When Stardust 1 entered the review stage, they had already sent people to contact Stardust Technology. As soon as Stardust 1 was released, they also sent engineers overnight to assist.

There were 21 people in total, all wearing wigs, and their skills were very high, even higher than the five people recruited by Stardust Network. As soon as Chen Zifan left the conference center, he saw a line of engineers reporting.

It is said that it is to jointly develop Stardust OS, but in fact it is an integration. Chen Zifan is not averse to cooperation, not to mention that cooperation can bring a lot of benefits~

Seeing Chen Zifan and Zhao Wushang coming out, the leader quickly said: "Director Chen! XX wants us to join the company tomorrow! The rest will be up to you!"

"no problem!"

Chen Zifan laughed directly. He was not afraid that these engineers would have problems. With [Stardust Technology] here, he would directly register them as employees and work for a period of time. If they were not his own, they would become his own.

Of course, the officials didn’t just give it away for no reason. They needed to use Stardust 1 to popularize a key technology that was lacking: map navigation.

The Stardust press conference did not mention map navigation at all. It’s not that Chen Zifan doesn’t want to do it, but that he simply doesn’t have the technology. Foreign companies can’t get in, and domestic companies have no conditions for cooperation, so they can only cut off this function first.

Fortunately, current mobile communications are not developed, and the speed of 2G network is also very slow, so even if Stardust 1 has this function, it may not be easy to use.

But now that there are some official permissions, such as satellites, the improvements that Stardust OS can obtain in the future will be very large and more secure.

“It’s nice to enjoy the shade with a big tree at your back~ Let’s see the first sales record of Stardust 1 tomorrow!”

Chen Zifan felt comfortable. Stardust Technology could enter a stage of rapid development. But on the other side, consumers who couldn't get a mobile phone couldn't sleep at all and were besieging Stardust directly-operated stores.

Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, there were already so many customers in the Stardust directly-operated store next door that each person had a tile. The store managers were also dumbfounded. Now, they can only sell all the Stardust 1s in the store before getting off work. .

When the last Black Mirror 8GB Stardust 1 was sold, not only did the number of customers in the directly-operated store not decrease, but there was even more queues. The store manager had no choice but to announce: "We are really out of stock!"

Unexpectedly, consumers didn't buy it at all, and an uncle yelled: "That's nonsense! The Stardust factory is next door! You told me that it was out of stock? Do you think I look like a fool?"

"That's right! We believe that other places don't have the goods! But labor and management are all rushing to the door of Stardust Technology. You tell me that I can't buy it? Will you pay for the gas for me to travel more than a hundred kilometers? Can you afford this responsibility? ?”

"Hey! I'm not leaving today! I want to see if your Stardust Technology is playing tricks on us! We agreed to sell it for 3999, and I brought the money over. Where is the mobile phone? I'm going to sell it!"

"I thought domestic brands finally had a conscience, but why are they still like this?"

"Either you don't publish it, and once you publish it, sell it openly. Why are you so secretive?"

"That's right! If people don't have the patience to wait, it's you who will lose out if you don't buy it!"

"..."

Store manager:......

Please, I really have to get off work!

Is this too crazy? Isn’t it just a mobile phone? Are you afraid that you can’t buy it? Didn't we agree that it will officially go on sale at eight o'clock tomorrow morning? If not, you can still buy it online and it will be delivered within one day!

Why are you embarrassing a small store manager like him? But the situation was special, so he could only guarantee it again and again. He also took out the reservation card for Stardust 1 and said that at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, those with the reservation card can pick up the goods directly ~

Fortunately, there are more sane consumers and they don’t worry too much about this moment. What’s more, in addition to Stardust directly-operated stores, there are many places where you can buy Stardust 1. The actual difference is just in service.

After the baptism of two smart phones, the reputation of Stardust directly-operated stores has gradually improved, forming an illusion of an "official store" in people's minds. This is what Chen Zifan wants to achieve.

At the same time~

In the Stardust Marketing Department, Wang Jinli is taking this opportunity to once again experience the thrill of leading an army and guiding public opinion to fight on the Internet. While promoting how good Stardust 1 is, he also takes the lead in committing crimes himself.

The first sentence is still "Stardust 1 is currently the best mobile phone in China! The era of smart phones has begun!", and the next sentence is "Stardust Technology robs the company! A broken shell is 99! A film is sold for 49!"

There are also some consumers who, in order to get the goods in advance, have increased the price to buy from mobile phone dealers. They don’t know what they are looking for, but raising prices can be regarded as an ancestral skill of major mobile phone dealers~

Not to mention high-end products like Stardust 1, even a no-name machine costing hundreds of dollars, they can still use the information gap and the smooth tongue to fool people into willingly paying more than double or higher price to buy...

Some areas where Stardust directly-operated stores have not spread, and consumers who have not seen the Stardust press conference have become the main battlegrounds for mobile phone dealers. This is why Chen Zifan created official channels.

He doesn't dislike mobile phone dealers, but the behavior of some dealers is indeed bad. In fact, he can just ignore it like some brands, but he can obviously do better, so why not?

Shacheng, waveguide mobile phone.

One of the founders, He Li, was on the phone with the supplier: "Copy Stardust 1 directly! Copy the appearance first! What? No accessories? You can't even copy the gourd? What a waste! What a waste!"

The suppliers on the other side are in trouble. Please, it will take at least half a month to crack the touch screen of Stardust 1. The products produced are still defective products and the cost is still high. It will take at least two months to reduce the cost.

"There's nothing we can do...the screen is hard to fix, so we have to give us some time..."

"How long do you want?"

"A month and a half..."

"What? It takes so long!? By then the day lily will be cold!"

"..."

At 5 o'clock in the morning, Jobs was woken up by a phone call. His sleep was disturbed. Jobs wanted to get angry, but when he saw it was Jonathan, he took a few deep breaths and answered Jonathan's call.

What he didn't expect was that Jonathan was unusually relaxed and cheerful, and said in a very urgent tone: "Our product has been made!"
