Apart from Xinghua Zhixing, a new energy vehicle brand that is currently being registered, the only brand car stores in the game are Xinghua Zhixing's electric tricycles and several flagship electric vehicle products...
And then there are no domestic car brands that are criticized every day. The cars in the game cannot be built if you want to, and it depends on whether you have obtained the copyright.
Therefore, "Mirage Mirage" still needs to carry out several rounds of investment, which is equivalent to earning a wave of advertising fees, research and development fees, and by the way, it can also obtain authorization for some models. After getting it, it has to model and determine the parameters.
In addition to car brands, there will also be investment promotion for some motorcycle and electric vehicle brands, but these parts will be relatively small. Motorcycles are okay, but who would want to experience the pain of riding an electric vehicle in the game.
This matter has also been put on the agenda recently. Wang Jinli first tentatively distributed investment information. As a result, imported brands and joint venture brands showed little interest in this project. On the contrary, domestic brands were eager to try:
"Stardust Technology? They don't sell mobile phones? Are they looking for us to discuss cooperation? I heard that the chairman of Stardust Technology and the guy from Huaya Group established a car brand, and they also focus on new energy vehicles..."
"Haha, new energy vehicles, what are new energy vehicles? Fuel vehicles have a century-old history and have just started in China. They are in the golden period of development. If you have that kind of money, why do you want to build new energy vehicles? Two losers!"
"But you can take a look at their cooperation projects. Stardust 1 has been gaining momentum recently. Anyone who sees this phone will like it, huh? What is this?"
"It's a bit interesting. It's called a game, but it's actually a virtual test drive. Not only does it have a third-person 3D perspective, but it can also display the interior from a first-person perspective... It's really interesting. I have to vote for this project."
"Including real-life models and concept models... Are the requirements for this concept model so high? It must be a model that can be produced within five years? What else is it called a concept model? Wait, it can be produced..."
"But I didn't say it was going to be mass-produced and put on the market! The worst I can do is spend some money to build a car and throw it at an auto show, hold a press conference to hype it up, and attract a group of fans..."
The first people to contact Stardust Technology were the two domestic brands that specialize in vans: Wuling and Changan.
"Anyway, I can only buy a van, and it's not expensive to invest in a game..."
They are closely followed by BYD and Chery, two brands that focus on family cars. They are prepared to invest, but some of their models do not have any highlights, and their configurations are relatively mediocre.
Some luxury car brands ignored Stardust Technology's investment information at all, and some contacted Stardust Technology and believed that if they want to use their car models, they must first pay the brand fee, and secondly the copyright fee...
Calculating all kinds of miscellaneous expenses, it is enough to buy several cars in reality. With such a high cost, it is no wonder that there are few racing games in China, and even if there are, they are similar to TX speed cars, which is unreal.
Of course, as long as the game is fun, it doesn't matter whether it is real or not. It's just that "Phantom Mirage" is different from regular games, so the choices are naturally different.
For Chen Zifan, if these luxury brands refuse, they will refuse. In the early stage, "Mirage Mirage" may lose some of its popularity, but he can use technology to forcefully push "Mirage Mirage" to the number one mobile game.
As long as it becomes popular and the traffic increases, more and more brands will naturally join it.
To Wang Jinli's surprise, after motorcycle brands saw Stardust Technology's investment information, many foreign car companies were eager to enter the Chinese market, but domestic motorcycle manufacturers were not interested.
At present, netizens believe that Lifan, the largest motorcycle manufacturer in China, is working hard to attack the automobile market. However, their cars are indeed a bit stretched...
Moreover, the country has already banned motorcycles, and the main products of major motorcycle manufacturers are all 125 agricultural vehicles. It is really unnecessary to get them in the game.
Unless they are very confident in their concept cars, major motorcycle manufacturers are still immersed in sadness and have no time to care about Stardust Technology.
In the end, the first round of investment attracted a total of 9 domestic car brands, 3 imported car brands, 2 joint venture car brands, 6 imported motorcycle brands, and 1 domestic motorcycle brand.
…
The only domestic motorcycle brand is an unknown brand called Fengying, which is often said to be a special mount for the will-o'-the-wisp boy, the big horizon...
Wang Jinli was very satisfied with the result. Who would have thought that a simple test would attract investment from so many manufacturers. However, after seeing these brands, Chen Zifan was a little silent at the time:
"...You can, but you must remind them that there is no need to do it in the game if everyone has seen it too much in reality. It is better to use something different to attract more people, right?"
Needless to say, Chen Zifan said, this is what these domestic car brands think. In reality, they are beaten up by imported cars and joint venture cars, but they can't let themselves go in the game? What a great publicity opportunity!
Headquarters of a domestic automobile brand:
"According to public data statistics, the number of Stardust users in China has now exceeded 10 million. One in ten people downloads it, which is 1 million people! So we must come up with our best design!"
"But...it doesn't mean that it will be built within five years. There is a design. What if it can't be built?"
"Why are you panicking? We're just building it, and we didn't say we were going to sell it! If people are particularly enthusiastic about any of our cars, then we will actually mass-produce one and see the market feedback!"
"Understood…"
Now the game project team of Stardust Network is busy. With so many brands providing products, modeling alone is a very huge project.
An He also didn't expect that not long ago, he was secretly laughing at the engineers of Stardust OS for being too busy at work, but soon his good days were gone.
"Damn it! I'm the team leader!"
"What's wrong with the team leader? You are the most capable! If you don't do it, no one will! Be serious! Don't take advantage of others!"
"yes…"
Even when the tasks of Stardust OS and various projects were very heavy, no one was ever asked to work overtime. This kind of treatment is simply the envy of engineers from other Internet companies.
In an Internet company:
"Damn Stardust Technology! Their employees are posting news again! Look what this is! Oh well... another day of working overtime and struggling..."
"Fuck you! You can get off work or not, but we can't get off work even if we want to!"
"Damn it, if it weren't for Stardust Technology's high overtime pay, I don't think any of you would be willing to work overtime?"
"Stop talking, the team leader is here..."
"..."
Unexpectedly, the team leader came over and just said lightly: "What the fuck? Do you think I don't want to go to Stardust Technology? Why don't you hurry up and get to work!"
He had long wanted to complain. The Zhuan family scolded them every day on TV, saying that Stardust Technology's excessive wages easily made employees develop bad habits of indolence and indolence... See if this is true? People don’t take it with them after get off work!
Do you know how in-demand jobs at Stardust Technology are right now? As long as Stardust Technology releases a little bit of news, you will immediately receive a bunch of resumes.
He had submitted his resume several times behind his back, but he was not selected. What could he do?

At the Stardust Technology Headquarters, MediaTek came again and brought some good news: "Regarding the design drawings of Dimensity 200, we have made three plans and are ready to start tapeout from the most conservative plan..."
"Don't worry, the funds are sufficient."
"It's not a funding issue. The person in charge of our technical department would like to ask if the four cores are a bit too few. With that basic drawing, it's no problem to design eight cores! The performance is absolutely explosive!"
Chen Zifan:? ? ?
"Holy crap! Don't even think about it! How can the 65nm process technology handle eight cores? The frequency of the big core is still so high! Four cores are strenuous and it depends on luck! This matter is not negotiable!"
"Hey, okay..."
The excitement in the eyes of the employee sent by MediaTek disappeared and he went back a little frustrated. He didn't even know that Chen Zifan had been shocked just now.
"I'm convinced! MediaTek, what kind of aircraft are you working on? At the beginning, you want to come with one core, but it's difficult for nine cores to watch? You can't do this to deceive people.
What a trap! Too dangerous! We must hurry up and make our own chips! "
I vaguely remember that it was a beautiful summer. Meizu had just defeated Qualcomm Fire Dragon through MediaTek chips, and its market share had soared. Just when Boss Huang was in high spirits and chose to continue betting on MediaTek...
Hey, talking too much brings tears to my eyes.
At the same time, Chen Zifan didn't know that Wang Jinli was secretly doing something big. He discovered that after a foreign website called Tuihim appeared in the first half of this year, the number of users began to increase sharply.
So, he began to contact some foreign companies with the help of foreign trade resources obtained from Mo Shaokun. It was okay if he didn't contact them, but once he couldn't contact them, he found that Stardust Technology was very popular abroad.
There are also a very large number of "overseas fans" of Stardust 1. Some Chinese people who often travel between the two countries will bring a batch of Stardust 1 there from time to time. Each unit is sold at a sky-high price. If there is demand, there will be a market, and if there is a market, there will be profits. .
Wang Jinli took the opportunity to ask a dealer responsible for exporting cheap mobile phones to register an account on Twitter, claiming that he had a large amount of Stardust 1 in stock. After doing this for several days, more and more people followed him.
Many people are openly complaining:
"Why don't we sell Stardust mobile phones here? Is Huaxia Company so stupid?"
"What are our capitalists doing? Such a great opportunity to make money is right in front of us!"
"Please, come to any dealer and give me one. It doesn't matter if the price is higher!"
"Oh my God, you don't know, the Asian guy next door to me is using Stardust 1. It is simply the most perfect and best mobile phone I have ever seen!"
"You said you have them in stock, but I can't see where they are! You shameful liar..."
"Jobs said Apple's world-changing products are coming soon, we can wait a little longer!"
"Who knows if Apple has deceived us? There is no accurate product information yet!"
"I can't wait even a quarter of an hour!"
In fact, even if you buy Stardust 1, most applications cannot be used due to geographical issues, but people everywhere will enjoy the unique feeling.
