The first cooperation between Stardust Technology and MediaTek took place on the summer solstice, but before that, MediaTek’s senior management had sent five commissioners to inspect.
Chen Zifan had a headache when he heard the word "inspection". It wasn't that he didn't dare to let people from MediaTek enter the Stardust Factory. Anyway, they couldn't enter some core areas and couldn't access confidential things.
The reason for his headache is that since the release of Stardust 1 and Stardust OS, officials have been very worried about the safety of Stardust Technology and Chen Zifan himself.
As a result, the road from Stardust Plaza to Stardust Technology Headquarters has been cordoned off, and a large number of professionals have been assigned to provide 24-hour strict protection of Stardust Technology.
Originally, Chen Zifan wanted to wait for Stardust Technology to build its own new energy vehicle before replacing his Dandan car, but someone gave him one directly. Not only was the glass bulletproof, but it also had a driver and bodyguards.
He protested against this excessive behavior, and someone quickly contacted him: "Alas, such a big incident only happened in January this year. It is a troubled time. I hope you can understand us..."
The chip scam in January had a big impact on China's chip industry. The emergence of Stardust Technology is like a new hope, not only bringing new hardware technology, but also a perfect operating system.
The most important thing is that Stardust Technology has certain chip research and development technology. This cooperation with MediaTek only revealed a little bit of news and attracted the attention of countless people. Everyone knows that chips are very important.
The stitched chips of Stardust 1 have already entered the laboratories of major manufacturers and have begun to undergo various disassembly. It will not take long for the principles to be disassembled.
Of course, knowing the principle and being able to make it are completely different things. Chen Zifan is not worried that Stardust Technology will be targeted for the time being, but MediaTek is very anxious.
They are eager to get Stardust Technology's chip enhancement technology directly. In this way, MediaTek may stand up and take off its hat as the king of copycats and become the world's largest chip company.
But Qualcomm is not easy to mess with. Chen Zifan knows that Qualcomm is very low-key now, but they have integrated their resources and started making smart phone chips.
Next year they will launch Qualcomm Snapdragon S1, a 65nm process processor, and soon the first smartphone HTCDrea equipped with Android and Snapdragon S1
Not even ten minutes after sitting in the hotel, I packed up my belongings and said, "It's hard to come to the mainland. We have to take a good look at the scenery. Hey! It's different from what we imagined!"
"Aren't there many people over there who say: People here are so poor that they can't even afford tea eggs?"
"Haha, do you believe this?"
"Of course I don't believe it! It's not like I've never been to Shanghai! I just think it's a pity not to come and see for myself sometimes..."
"Let's go, let's go! Don't forget your work this time! There are many people in the company who almost praise Stardust Technology to the sky. What they hear is false, and what they see is believing!"
"Haha, that's your technical department! Our department thinks Stardust Technology is a liar~"
"Liar!? You are insulting ourselves! Why do you think we are here?"
"Don't get excited, that's them..."
"..."
The five commissioners got a car from nowhere and started observing along the main streets of Haicheng. They found that Haicheng's infrastructure was very complete.
Fortunately, they are not MediaTek's core technical staff and mainly focus on research work, otherwise it would not be possible for them to run around so casually.
After all, it is a quasi-first-tier city and one of the most developed cities in China. Then they walked around and arrived at the Stardust Direct Store opposite the Wetland Park. Unfortunately, this Direct Store was closed after get off work.
Only the white signboard and Stardust logo still shine at night. Even at night, Stardust directly-operated stores are still exerting their signature attributes.
But what the five commissioners didn't expect was that the Ming Xingchen directly-operated store was already off work, but there were many people gathering on the stage at the entrance playing with their mobile phones, and from time to time there were people coming out of the park to join in.
This gave them some
Curious, they caught a young man and asked proactively: "Hey, buddy, all the direct-operated stores are closed! Why are you still at the door and not leaving? What's the matter?"
Upon hearing this, the young man knew that they were not locals, and their motorcycle-like tone was too strong, but he still replied casually: "Oh, I'm not here to use the ifi, download some and go home to watch."
"Using WiFi?"
The five commissioners looked at each other, not quite understanding what this operation was, but they also noticed the Stardust 1 in the hands of young people. Do people who can afford a 4,000 yuan mobile phone also need to use WiFi?
Unexpectedly, the young man didn't take it seriously: "What? Isn't this normal? The ifi at the Stardust Direct Store is easy to use. I haven't seen so many people connected to it without any lag? The download is fast and it takes a few minutes~"
"Why don't you set up your own IFI?"
The young man was a little speechless: "It's so expensive to get an IFI! That package costs thousands a year, and I rent a house and I can just use the IFI and watch movies, so why do I have to spend so much money?"
The plump and bespectacled man on the side heard the conversation of several people and joined in: "Yes, using ifi is the way to go! It's easier than using a computer to transfer files with a data cable! You can also download some games to play!"
After that, he approached the young man again: "Hey, buddy, do you have any resources? I can't find any good movie resources, it's better to have more powerful ones!"
Commissioner:…
"Ahem, I won't bother you anymore~" After that, the five of them turned and left. At the same time, from the corner of their eyes, they noticed an uncle cutting fruit in the corner.
They all know that Stardust 1 can run three software at the same time, which means that there are software downloads in the background, games are played at the same time, and another software can be opened to switch at any time, but this consumes more power.
You know, I know, but the one they have is still a button-function machine with a small and thick screen, dust is easy to enter in the middle, and there is no app store or networking capabilities. Comparing this...
"Should we get one?"
"Yes, yes! In order to better study Stardust technology! But can we use this phone there?"
"It should be possible..."
"Isn't your department dismantling Stardust 1 research every day? Why don't you know this?"
"We have a special network! It will definitely work! It won't work elsewhere!"
"???"
Chen Zifan probably never imagined that these five specialists would bring back a batch of Stardust 1s and go to the entrance of the R&D laboratory every day to use the special network...
Early the next morning, five commissioners arrived at the Stardust Technology Headquarters. Zhao Wushang was still responsible for taking them to the Stardust Factory to introduce some of the chip enhancement production lines that could be displayed to the outside world.
The commissioners smiled along the way, chatting and laughing with Zhao Wushang while showing their strong professional knowledge. In fact, their hearts were already in turmoil from the moment they arrived at the Stardust Technology Headquarters:
"This building?"
"Are these the territories of Stardust Technology? It's too big, right? What's the building over there for?"
"This factory? Damn, my calves are sore from walking. Why is it still so far away?"
"What is this? What's going on with these workers? Can this machine still be used like this?"
"Is this a chip-enhanced device? Damn it, I know every part individually, but why do they look like this when put together!"
"No, this is not scientific!"
They couldn't figure out why the internal structure of the Stardust Factory was completely different from the factory they knew, and they couldn't even name most of the machinery and equipment, which was impossible before.
Who doesn't know that China is a technological desert and is very lacking in high-end technology. However, Stardust Factory allows them to feel a unified production layout that seems to be seen in science fiction movies.
What they saw was only a small part of the Stardust Factory, and there were many projects that they had no access to at all, such as the electronic waste recycling station...
This is also one of the main reasons why Stardust Technology can reduce the cost of hardware so low.
one.
Zhao Wushang introduced the whole process, and then led five MediaTek specialists to connect with the chip-enhanced technical staff and began to briefly discuss the content of this cooperation.
"This is part of the equipment in our chip enhancement project. It can connect to the chip... and then increase its core frequency to several times more..."
The effect was that the introduction was clear. As for the principle, the technical staff did not mention it at all. Their job this time was to shock a few specialists.
