After firming up his inner thoughts, Chen Zifan was no longer prepared to invest in the development of these manufacturers. He could just leave these things to Zhao Wushang and Wang Jinli, and simplify them if they could.
As for Guanxia... To be honest, Chen Zifan's first impression of it was not bad. Whether it can develop in the end depends on the management of Peng Wen and others.
While he continued to prepare for cooperation with MediaTek's "Project Dimensity", the head of TX's department also sent him an email, which stated that the buckle tailored for Stardust 1 had been completed.
After their discussion, they finally decided to put it on the Stardust app on June 30. Regarding the dynamic suffix mentioned by Chen Zifan before, they also completed it, and it also came with a series of demonstration pictures.
"It really doesn't let people relax..."
Chen Zifan opened the picture and took a look... The KouKou in the picture cannot be said to be crude, it can only be said to be quite crude. It is completely different from the KouKou that later had a built-in Unreal 4 engine. The contrast is too strong.
But some shadows of the future of KouKou can already be seen from it, such as messages, contacts, updates... On the dynamic pictures, Chen Zifan also saw the Stardust 1 suffix he requested, which is a simple logo.
With this logo, some of Stardust Technology's publicity work will be much easier, because QQ is interoperable with the computer version, and messages sent with Stardust 1 have suffix updates, which can also be seen on the computer.
It’s equivalent to using QQ’s huge user base to advertise Stardust 1. But having said that, the cooperation between Stardust Technology and TX went surprisingly smoothly~
This is why Chen Zifan is overthinking, how could TX be a loss-making business? They have decided that all smartphones that want to add suffixes to QQD in the future will need to pay a fee...
And they hope that Stardust Technology can sell more smartphones. With QQ, they will also launch other products. Each one needs to register an account. What to register...
It must be a QQ login.
The benefits brought by the huge software industry chain that can be formed, let alone advertising Stardust 1 in this way, it is no problem to just hang up posters.
But with TX's influence, they only need to send a message to each account on the computer, and the publicity effect will be terrifying.
Take the data released by TX on June 3, for example, there are more than 20 million people online at the same time, and almost everyone who knows how to use a computer will register for Quankou.
This is also part of the reason why Chen Zifan doesn't make his own instant messaging software. TX's foundation is too strong, and its development model is a bit too difficult to mess with. He would copy the genuine version and then kill the genuine one...
There is no need for Stardust Network to fight with companies like TX, which will drag down its own energy.
More importantly, if they don’t give away their profits, these Internet companies will not enter the game at all. If everyone makes money together, they can become bigger and stronger as soon as possible.
On the Stardust Network side, the official version of Stardust Community has also been completed, and the launch date has been determined, which is also June 30. However, the content of the two products does not conflict with each other, and the promotion channels are also different.
In addition to the KouKou and Stardust communities, 19 more products will be available on the Stardust app on June 30, including 12 text apps, 6 stand-alone games, and 1 player. ….
Different from the future situation where Tengaiyou will stand on three pillars, there are not many computer players to choose from now. This time it was launched on the Stardust app, and the fastest one was Tudou, which was just launched last year.
Chen Zifan briefly checked the situation of the potatoes and found that their performance was appalling. In two different terms:
Low EQ: Too annoying!
High emotional intelligence: a bright future~
"You said that young people should be imaginative and creative, um... come on!"
In fact, Chen Zifan is not looking forward to Tudou too much. He is more looking forward to Baofeng and Moubo, which will be launched on the Internet next year. These two players have been very influential for a long time.
Maybe with Stardust Technology here, the development pattern of the software industry will change differently in the future?
What Stardust OS provides is just a platform. In the end, which Internet company
Whether they can rise or be abandoned by the times is none of their business.
These are indeed not very good in Chen Zifan's eyes, but given the current conditions, Internet companies that can make mobile phones in a short time and proactively adapt to Stardust OS are quite brave to take risks.
Of course, the sales of Stardust 1 give them enough confidence. In the Chinese mobile phone market in the second half of this year, Stardust Technology may directly reach the top three.
Stardust 1 has made a good start, and other mobile phone brands are also rushing to launch their own new models. Chen Zifan also led some senior executives of Stardust Technology to start a "Developer Cooperation Conference" on the summer solstice.
The location is still at Stardust Technology, in the conference center. The project leader of MediaTek briefly explained the cooperation content of "Project Dimensity":
"...In the next five years, Stardust Technology and MediaTek will launch a flagship chip every year, code-named Dimensity, and the first product will be——"
"Dimensional 200!"
This chip that Stardust Technology and MediaTek will jointly develop will be installed on Stardust 2. This is why Dimensity 200 directly skips Dimensity 100.
Theoretically, this chip will be supplied to other mobile phone manufacturers, but currently, except for Stardust Technology, other mobile phone manufacturers do not even have operating systems. How can they buy Dimensity 200 as a high-end smartphone?
But you won’t know for sure in a year. Some international manufacturers may choose the development model of MediaTek + Android. After all, judging from the data alone, the stitched chip of Stardust 1 can beat the Snapdragon S1.
Therefore, Dimensity 200 should have the overall advantage in the duel with Snapdragon S1. We will see if any mobile phone manufacturers will choose this way.
Chen Zifan is not opposed to selling Dimensity 200 to other manufacturers. First of all, as a provider of technology, they will also gain huge profits from it.
Secondly, Stardust Technology’s hardware advantages have always been its specialty. The retina screen of Stardust 1 will be very capable for at least three years. The screen quality of the next generation Stardust 2 will be even more powerful than it is now.
Finally, Stardust Technology will begin to prepare its own chips. In the chip research and development project team in the core area of the Stardust Factory, many employees have already begun preparations. The chip plan is codenamed: Changhe.
It took two years to create a top-notch chip that could be mounted on Stardust 3+. Even with [Analysis of Counterfeiting] and [Synthetic Creation], Chen Zifan could not guarantee that the final product would meet expectations. ….
"Speaking of which, if the Dimensity 200 is produced, can I use [Analysis Copycat] to analyze it and get the complete Dimensity 200..."
The more Chen Zifan thought about it, the more feasible he felt it was. His eyes changed a lot when he looked at the person in charge of the MediaTek project. Isn't this just giving away money and technology?
Just confirming the chip code is not enough. What follows is a three-day patent cooperation discussion. Chen Zifan does not know whether MediaTek is satisfied or not. Anyway, he is very satisfied with the patent provided by MediaTek.
Then there is the discussion about the sharing issue. MediaTek’s project leader believes that their chips are the foundation. Without MediaTek, Stardust Technology’s chip enhancement technology is nothing more than a tree without roots.
Stardust Technology executives believe that without MediaTek, they can also cooperate with other chip design factories. If that doesn't work, they can still design their own chips, but the progress may be slower.
Both sides had their own arguments, which made some sense, but were not entirely correct. In the end, in order to establish cooperation as soon as possible, they stopped arguing and simply chose a return-to-basics split plan: 50-50 split.
On the surface, everyone is very satisfied, but secretly they are already planning for the future...
MediaTek: "When labor and management have fully understood your technology, who will use your chip enhancement technology? Who will split it 50-50 with you?"
Stardust Technology: "Oh, choosing you is just a temporary measure to reduce risks~ You don't really think that we can't do anything without you, do you?"
Chen Zifan has also prepared several plans. Even if MediaTek regrets halfway, they can take countermeasures in the shortest time. Of course, as long as MediaTek is normal, they will not do this.
based on interests
The cooperation seems very unreliable, but in fact it is the strongest. As long as there is mutual use value, the cooperation between Stardust Technology and MediaTek will be fine for a long time.
Regarding the design parameters of the Dimensity 200, it is a quad-core 65nm processor with one large and three small sizes. The converted running score is about 15,000 to 18,000, which is about 38% higher than the stitched chip of Stardust 1.
In fact, this improvement is not big. In the early days of the development of the chip industry, many smart phone chips were at least twice as powerful as the previous generation. This also caused many people's mobile phones to become obsolete before they were used much.
Mobile phones are updated very quickly every year, not to mention that Samsung has led major Android manufacturers to double flagships every year. Part of the reason why Chen Zifan spares no effort to pile up materials is to reduce the frequency of updates.
In this way, Stardust Technology will have time to expand more new products, instead of being trapped in the mobile phone industry like the major domestic mobile phone brands...
"Regarding the update of Stardust 2, the biggest contribution may not be the improvement of the product itself, but the concept of continuing to build the Stardust ecological chain."
In terms of product status, it is roughly Stardust 3 + = Stardust 3 > Stardust 1 ≥ Stardust 2 = Stardust Tablet 1. Stardust 2 and Stardust Tablet 1 will also use Dimensity 200, and the two products will be launched together. .
However, there is still nearly a year until the release of these two products, the design sketches have just begun, and the product parameters have not been determined, so there is no need to worry for the time being, you can still do other things.
Another important thing happened at Stardust Technology recently, that is, their first employee building was completed, and the grassroots employees were jubilant.
Especially those employees who have reached the [Stardust Employee] level are waiting to be allocated rooms.
"This matter should be done sooner rather than later. Please inform me that at 7 o'clock tonight, I will hold an employee representative meeting at the Stardust Conference Center."
