"What about your Suzuki? Sold it? I'm not telling you, you just spent money to modify the marquee speaker, now you sell it? You can't build another one for fun~"
The thin young man's name is Liang Xiu. He doesn't want to pay attention to the owner of this voice now. It's really annoying. He is obviously just his uncle's cousin, but he wants to take care of everything and taunts him every day with all kinds of weirdness.
Returning Suzuki... Suzuki has been confiscated by the uncle who patrolled the roadside. Driving without a license, illegally modifying, speeding, not wearing a helmet, bombing the street and disturbing people... any one of them is enough for him to drink.
This time the car was confiscated, and his mother tied him to a tree trunk in the yard and spanked him for two hours. Now he feels like his butt is about to burst even when he sits on it.
Don't even think about motorcycles. You can use electric vehicles. The speed limit is 25k. Basically, there will be no accidents. Even if you want to race, you won't be able to speed up. It happens to be the Spring Festival, so you can also purchase a wave of supplies.
His mother thought so too. A good kid turned into a will-o'-the-wisp boy for some reason. He first modified his father's motorcycle, and after it was confiscated, he bought a second-hand one, and then it disappeared...
It was too laborious to go back and forth. It was impossible for them to buy a motorcycle, and it was unrealistic to buy a car under their conditions. Originally, they were planning to buy an old Xinghua electric car to make do, but suddenly a new model came out.
They don't care about Bluetooth connection or keyless start. What they are interested in is the high-strength body and cargo capacity of Chengfeng 2. In addition, Xinghua electric vehicles are the most famous and have guaranteed after-sales service.
Originally, Liang Xiu wanted to say that the Chengfeng 2 generation has a long battery life, a good motor, and a Bluetooth key. It is good in every aspect, but in the end he just said dullly: "Because electric cars have killed motorcycles..."
The owner of the agency suddenly spoke: "Do you think it was the electric car that killed the motorcycle?"
Liang Xiu was stunned for a moment: "Isn't it?"
"Of course not. What really kills motorcycles is... electric vehicles are just a safer, lower threshold alternative. Rather than killing motorcycles, it is better to say that they kill bicycles..."
Liang Xiu nodded. He didn't understand this either, but he knew that it might be difficult to ride a motorcycle again in the future. The electric car in front of him was good everywhere, but it didn't make him feel even the slightest bit restless or excited.
But his cousin thought it made sense: "Yes, I think so too. What electric vehicles really squeeze is the bicycle market. Do you think that since the Xinghua electric vehicles came out, how many people have stopped riding bicycles?"
"It seems so..."
"When I was a kid, my dad and I would go to the market opposite the Wetland Park with big bags on our backs. I would be envious watching people riding big bars... One day my family also had a bicycle, and I would practice from morning to night.
Later, I finally learned it and rode it for three hours. At that time, I only had one thought in my mind: It turns out that riding a bicycle can be so easy! Later, the adults around me changed to motorcycles one after another, and I also learned from them.
Then I was shocked again. Really, watching other people ride and riding by myself are completely different feelings. At that time, I only had one thought in my mind, twist the accelerator to the bottom and see how fast this car can go! ….
But I am different from this loser. I know how to exercise restraint. He only enjoys the slightest pleasure brought by racing and has not considered the consequences at all! "
Liang Xiu:......
Stop scolding, it’s not like you can’t change?
"I think there is another reason why electric vehicles can occupy the market so quickly, and that is that they are really convenient. They may not be as comfortable as motorcycles, but it is so convenient to sit on them and just twist and go!"
The owner of the agency also agreed: "It's true. It saves one step of shifting gears and makes it easier to get on and off the car, so it's very popular... But I don't agree with the comfort aspect, because electric vehicles don't shake."
"This is a subjective feeling and varies from person to person. Another point is that electric cars can be driven home for charging."
"right!"
"..."
Liang Xiu listened to his cousin and his boss talking. He suddenly felt depressed. He hated this feeling, but he was not good at expressing himself.
Since childhood, he has been pushed around and done things he doesn't like.
Cycling? Cycling was the only thing he could feel free about. The wind whistled past his ears and the speed continued to increase... It was as if the world had gone silent at that moment, and he could clearly feel his heart beating.
This is proof that he is alive!
But...looking at the electric car in front of him, he suddenly had a bold idea...
——
The core area of Stardust Factory.
MediaTek publicly announced that the Dimensity 200 had not yet entered mass production, so it turned around and sent a batch of test chips to Stardust Technology. Chen Zifan immediately arranged the chips for Stardust 2 and Stardust Tablet.
"Schedule production testing as soon as possible and test all the extreme data of the two products. We only have two months to optimize this chip..."
In addition, there are Spring Festival and Lantern Festival to celebrate during this period, so the time left for them is only one and a half months. After adjusting the Dimensity 200 to the optimal state, the remaining months will still be used for production.
It also takes time to ship from the Stardust factory warehouse to Stardust directly-operated stores and authorized stores across the country. During this period, there must be various publicity... Even if a new generation of products is updated every year, time is actually not very generous.
Therefore, some later domestic manufacturers will plan most of their future products two years in advance. Of course, the premise is that the manufacturer already has a large number of brand users and stable shipping channels.
On the other side, Wang Jinli has also handled all the work for the Zhuyun version of Stardust 1. All that is left is to wait for it to be put on the shelves, and then let the marketing department launch some soft articles and rhythm to attract another wave of popularity.
For example, someone records unboxing, and only to find out after opening the package that he has won a very lucky number. This will not only win a new number, but will also be beneficial to Stardust Technology’s future marketing promotions.
After finishing the work on the Zhuyun version of Stardust 1, Wang Jinli began to work non-stop to build a camp for the benchmarking software. Some traditional Internet companies that renovated mobile phones would definitely be unwilling to come, such as 360, Kingsoft, etc.
But this is not necessarily the case for some mobile phone manufacturers that specialize in design and hardware assembly. Wang Jinli first targeted several big domestic feature phone brands: Lenovo, Gionee, Dopod, Newman, ZTE, Huawei...
In the end, only seven mobile phone brands were interested in benchmarking software and accepted Wang Jinli's invitation to see if Stardust OS's so-called "geek test" of benchmarking software was as good as Wang Jinli said. ….
When they went to Haicheng for a cooperation meeting, it happened to be the time when the Zhuyun version of Stardust 1 was put on the shelves. At 0 o'clock in the morning that day, all 10,000 units of the limited edition of Stardust official website and Stardust Mall were sold out in just one minute.
Countless netizens who stayed up late began to curse in front of the screen: "What Gou Ba thing! Is it gone? Gone! Didn't you say that you can grab it as long as you squat hard? I just had a network lag, and it was sold out?"
"What a coincidence? I'm stuck too! This is definitely a shady story! I just don't want us to buy it!"
"Hey, I grabbed one and it was said to be delivered tomorrow. Stardust Express is really efficient. If you look at other express delivery, it's so slow!"
"I got it too! Isn't it okay for those of you who didn't get it? Have you stayed up late every day and become like this? You can't even compare with others by clicking on the mouse screen?"
"Go away, dog! Then explain why I know the network card? I even turned off all the software before entering the Stardust official website, just for the sake of fast network speed."
"Damn it, I doubt it's available online! Tomorrow at 8 o'clock, Fengcheng No. 1 Stardust direct-operated store, I don't believe this phone is not available in the direct-operated store!"
"Haha, believe it or not, if you go there tomorrow it will be out of stock? I told you this time is just a marketing hype!"
"..."
Early the next morning, the specialists sent by these mobile phone manufacturers were surprised to find on the road that the entrances of Stardust directly-operated stores and authorized stores were full of people, and some stores bearing the name of Stardust Technology were also queuing up.
They were all waiting to rush in and buy the Bamboo Rhyme Edition Stardust 1 as soon as they got to work at 8 o'clock. Looking back at the time when the limited edition first came out, many people said it was not good...but now, I can only say that it is one thing and another.
However, each store can only distribute a few hundred units at most. It won’t take long for such a small amount to be sold out. On the way, the specialists could only keep sighing:
"Hey, look at this scene! Do you think our smartphones will be like this when they are launched? We have also seen the engineering machines, and they are actually pretty good..."
"Stardust 1 is the benchmark. We can't beat it in terms of configuration parameters, but that's not necessarily the case in terms of price. Our phone is a thousand yuan cheaper than theirs!"
"So this time we are going to develop a benchmarking software! The boss also said that as long as there is not a big difference between our product and Stardust 1 benchmarking score, we can use it for promotion!"
"Indeed, but if this happens, we may not be able to surpass Stardust Technology in a short time..."
The simple truth is that when Stardust 1 is used as the standard for peers to measure products, they themselves limit their creativity, and everything about the product will be made according to Stardust 1 standards.
They think that as long as they surpass Stardust 1 in some aspects, users will choose them, is that true?
As for other mobile phone manufacturers...whether they are willing or not, they will passively participate. Hongqi OS is open source. When the "Geek Test" is promoted, their users will also run scores.
Otherwise, this method of being both a player and a referee is a rogue style. For Chen Zifan, the so-called running points are not important. What he wants is Stardust Technology's dominant position in the Chinese smartphone market.
Stardust 2 was okay, but when it comes to Stardust 3... Just imagine, Stardust 3's running scores are enough to overwhelm major domestic mobile phone manufacturers and international brands, so what will a better Stardust 3+ be like? level?
Benchmarks are not everything, but they give consumers a simple and intuitive evaluation standard, allowing people to roughly understand the level of a certain product. .
