It’s actually hard to describe texture. Even if some products are colorful and have high-end copywriting, you can tell at a glance that they have a cheap texture, which is completely different from what’s shown on the promotional posters.
The Stardust game controller is also made of plastic, but it has a skin-like coating on it. The material is very solid and the feel is up to standard. There are no burrs on the edges and corners, and the gaps are very regular.
But there are also disadvantages. People of Chen Zifan's height generally have relatively large hands, so when holding the Stardust game controller, it can obviously feel a bit small.
This is not a big problem, just get used to it. Chen Zifan plugged in the wired handle first. In an instant, his Stardust 2 showed that the connection was successful, and prompted the specific operation process.
Chen Zifan:? ? ?
Is the degree of completion already so high?
Have the adaptations been resolved? It seems that there is something about Shen Tong Games. Chen Zifan had heard before that they had some engineers who were responsible for developing and maintaining games. Unexpectedly, there were many surprises hidden there.
The system of Stardust 2 in his hand is Stardust OS2.3, a test version that has not been released to the public. For example, the Stardust game has not yet been released on the shelves. His mobile phone is already usable and can be connected to a game controller.
After a brief look, Chen Zifan clicked on a horizontal version of the pixel game. As he expected, although the Stardust game controller came out, the game inside did not support the controller and remained the same as before.
"Sure enough, I still need to adapt..."
The previous high degree of completion was just an appearance. It looked pretty good, but in fact it was just a showpiece.
After Chen Zifan quit the game, he pressed every button again and again. Not to mention, it was quite a relief.
No wonder so many people still like console games in the future. In addition to the playability of console games themselves, the feeling of playing games with a controller is also very different.
It’s very relaxing and very happy~
As for games, entertainment is the most important thing, but Chen Zifan can no longer calm down and play games. Every time he opens the game, he soon starts thinking about the next work and how Stardust Technology should develop...
If ordinary people really lived like this, it would be quite boring. Combining work and rest is the most suitable development model. Chen Zifan is not a workaholic. He just has passed the age of fun and has no interest in it.
He once saw a student who studied hard every day during the postgraduate entrance examination, and spent an hour or two playing King of Kings at night. He spent more than 20,000 yuan just buying skins, and almost collected all the skins.
Every holiday, he has to go to an Internet cafe to play two games of the league. According to him, he is an eight-year-old gamer. He is so excited that he shouts every time in the global finals. He is such a gamer, and he actually stops playing if he says he doesn’t want to.
And there was no warning in advance. After taking the postgraduate entrance examination, I was fighting in the canyon to score points the day before, and then I gave up on the game the next day. For three consecutive years, I never played any games except for the occasional game.
Chen Zifan guessed that this student might have experienced some major changes, or that some kind of ideological burden was suddenly lifted, and he became like this.
The specific situation is now unknown. Chen Zifan only remembers that he also liked playing games for a while, but then...he couldn't remember why he stopped playing. He just suddenly didn't want to play anymore. ….
However, he will not denigrate games because of this, saying that games delay youth and waste lives, nor will he praise games, saying that games can train people's reflexes and teach people the quality of perseverance.
A game is a game, just play it if you want to, without any distracting thoughts, that's all.
The person in charge of Shentong sent someone to deliver a total of 30 Stardust game controllers. Chen Zifan sent them directly to the game project team of Stardust Network. After all, An He wanted them. What she wanted had to be debugged first, right?
Just wait until the Stardust game controller is debugged, and then transfer the data to Shentong Games. In this way, every controller produced has been debugged.
Regarding Shentong Games' own game controller... Chen Zifan thinks there is definitely a market for it, but how much it can sell depends on the sales volume of Stardust 2.
The current sales of Stardust 2 have reached 13.56 million units, of which 11.89 million units have been sold in China. The remaining more than 1 million units have been exported to overseas markets, but the most popular one is Stardust 1.
The popularity of Stardust 1 in overseas markets is so high. Chen Zifan originally thought that it would have a hard time competing with mobile phones from the Apple and Android camps, but it turned out not to be the case at all, and sales were directly crushed.
In terms of hardware configuration, Stardust 1 is absolutely number one. In terms of operating system, Stardust OS has the highest fluency, the most complete application ecosystem, and the least bugs...
It is supported by local operators, and the price is similar to mobile phones from the Apple and Android camps. Consumers are not ***, so they don’t know how to choose?
What? Do Apple phones have face?
It was true that buying an IOD was a respectable thing back then, but now, I use the product that is good. You can make a living by relying on the brand for a while, but not for a lifetime. You have to rely on the product.
Why were the sales of the later iPhone 14 so much lower than the iPhone 13? Especially in the Chinese market, all major Android flagships are in full bloom. The price of iPhone 14 can easily pick the top flagships in the Android camp.
Extremely low cost performance and lackluster innovation make it difficult for Apple's products to maintain their previous glory.
What's more, today's Apple is still different from the Apple of that era. The Apple 1 is not easy to use, and the Apple 3GS is about to be released, but Stardust 3 is not a vegetarian, and it will not be inferior to any one of them.
Not to mention the Android camp, which is much more chaotic than the Red Flag camp. The one with the strongest momentum is still Samsung, followed by HTC, LG and other brands.
The product power is not enough, and the brand power is not enough. In terms of brand, how can they have as strong a brand as Nokia? Nokia can barely hold it anymore, so who do they think it is?
Under various conditions, as long as the products of the Android and Apple camps meet the Stardust mobile phone head-on, they will be completely defeated. At present, they have no choice but to cling to the market that Stardust Technology cannot enter.
This is their only chance to make a comeback. Although consumers in these markets are full of resentment, they have no choice but to hope that Apple or the Android camp can launch good products as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too uncomfortable.
Every day I see that Chinese consumers can use the latest Stardust mobile phone... They even have the idea of traveling to China, but Chinese is too difficult.
It’s not cheap to go abroad. It’s not worth it to buy a mobile phone that doesn’t work. Moreover, most people think that China is a backward place. ….
Is there anything to travel to?
Fortunately, manufacturers in the Apple and Android camps are working hard, breaking the news on the latest developments every three days on average, giving their consumers confidence, but only they themselves know how well their products are doing.
For Chen Zifan, the tasks at the end of the year are not small at all, including the launch and promotion of Stardust games and game controllers, the start-up test of Changhe chip production line, and the opening of Xinghai Driving School on the Bund of Haicheng.
Chen Zifan does not need to be responsible for the first two for the time being, and the only remaining one is Xinghai Driving School. With Mo Shaokun's overtime work, the preparations for Xinghai Driving School have been almost completed, except that the personnel are not in place yet.
The geographical environment is relatively poor, the development of Haicheng Bund is not good, and it is a driving school... many people don't want to come as soon as they hear it. It doesn't matter, Mo Shaokun directly sent people to play the Stardust Technology sign in Haicheng's talent market.
As expected, Stardust Technology's brand name worked better than anything else, and the number of people who came to participate in the recruitment skyrocketed. Who doesn't know that Stardust Technology's welfare benefits are notoriously good? Driving school? What happened to the driving school?
The working hours of the driving school are so fixed! You get off work early and don't have to work overtime. Learning to drive is even easier during the off-season. Where can I find such an affordable job?
Is Haicheng Bund not developing well?
Just kidding, Stardust Technology has opened a driving school there, and is also planning to build an eight-lane Xinghai Highway. When the time comes, just drive directly to Stardust Technology and go around. It’s a bit far, but it’s not a bad road. .
With the signboard of Stardust Technology, all the employees of Xinghai Driving School had been confirmed in three days. After arriving at Xinghai Driving School, many
Everyone lamented: It’s all a lie that Haicheng’s Bund environment is bad!
Xinghai Driving School is more luxurious than the best driving schools in the city. The salary and benefits are not as good as those of employees at Stardust Technology, but the welfare system is the same! There is also a promotion system that should be in place, and this is the key point.
People who didn't apply only regretted why they didn't apply earlier, but who can say for sure about this kind of thing?
After all the employees of Xinghai Driving School were confirmed, another seven-day training was conducted, and then they finally took up their positions. Xinghai Driving School also opened as scheduled. There was no grand opening, only ordinary operations~
However, this situation was soon broken. The Stardust Marketing Department first advertised the Xinghai Driving School on major TV stations in Haicheng, and then released specific information about the Xinghai Driving School in the Stardust community for publicity.
Again attracted many users:
"Haitian Driving School has opened! No! It's Xinghai Driving School! It seems like the name has been changed..."
"It's normal. The predecessor of Stardust Technology was called Xinghua Electronics. As a loyal fan of Stardust Technology, I even bought a Xinghua 2004. Don't you know, that phone is made of more plastic than plastic!"
"Is it that bad?"
"Yes! It's that bad!"
"Xinghua mobile phone? Stardust Technology's Hai, the previous products were shabby. This time it is named Xinghai Driving School. Is it to commemorate Hai?"
"I know that there is a Xinghai Park next to Stardust Plaza. It is a residential building built by Stardust Technology for its employees. They also give real estate certificates! I am so envious!"
"It's all Xinghai. It seems that Xinghai Driving School is also good? Does anyone know the specific situation?"….
"Here comes a local from Haicheng!"
"I'm getting ready to go!"
"Don't come if you have a car, and don't come if you don't have a car. The venue of Xinghai Driving School is quite good. You can only report C2, D, and E. Those who ride three-wheelers may consider reporting D. The inspection in Haicheng City has been strict recently."
"No one knows how to learn! Automatic cars are so expensive, but manual cars are better to drive!"
"yes…"
"..."
Most people on the Internet are just looking at it, and those who express opinions are basically not Haicheng locals, because Haicheng locals have gone directly to Xinghai Driving School if they have the conditions, and went in to experience it with great arrogance.
Except for the C2 driving license driving range, which has a barbed wire fence around it that cannot be entered, the rest of the venues can basically be moved around at will, from the business hall to the track practice field at the back, as well as the D and E driving license training fields...
Who said Stardust Technology only has exquisite products?
Apart from anything else, the venue of Xinghai Driving School is definitely the best they have ever seen. The track behind it makes many former motorcycle veterans eager to try it. However, there are no motorcycles now, and only electric vehicles can be ridden on the track.
"What's the point of electric cars?"
"After the speed limit was lifted, the speed was only 50 or 60. It's a pity that such a good training ground..."
"Hey, indeed!"
"But you can also come here to practice your skills. Their skills and equipment are quite complete!"
"Yeah! It's free anyway! It's just a few safety questions! It's impossible for a normal person to make mistakes!"
"..."
At the same time, in the business hall of Xinghai Driving School, people were looking at the price lists of three types of driving licenses:
"A C2 driver's license costs 3,000. Isn't it too expensive?"
"3000 all-inclusive? You don't need to pay for the exam? If you think about it this way...it's actually not too expensive."
"The venue is really nice, and the coach is brand new! But I already have a C1 driver's license."
"Look at D and E. They are both for one week. D photo costs 1,000 yuan, and E photo costs 800 yuan...it's also very expensive!"
"In our village, all we need to get E is 120 and a few packs of good cigarettes. Why here..."
He was about to say why it was so expensive, but when he turned around and looked at the training ground for D and E driver's licenses, and the track-like practice ground next to it, he was suddenly speechless.
It’s expensive for a reason.
Go to star
Although there are many people in the Hai Driving School, most of them are just watching the excitement. There are not many serious applicants, and they all apply for D licenses, because D’s approved driving type includes E, and they can ride three cars. wheel motorcycle.
There are currently no three-wheeled motorcycles in Haicheng, but there are three-wheeled electric vehicles. Three-wheeled electric vehicles also need a green plate and a special driver's license to go on the road.
It doesn’t matter that there are few people signing up for C2 driver’s licenses. This is not the peak season for learning to drive. We have to wait until Xinghanni comes out to fully promote it. Xinghanni will be the mainstay and the driver’s license will be supplemented to jointly promote new energy vehicles.
Adding up the bits and pieces, there were actually not many people who signed up. Wang Jinli also specifically talked about the situation.
Chen Zifan nodded. This situation was actually not surprising: "Normally, we still need a boost. How is the situation at Fengying Motorcycle?"
Wang Jinli replied from the side: "They have designed an electric motorcycle called 'War,' which is still a racing-like model. They also opened a store next to the Wetland Park and are currently renovating it."
"Is it okay for such a short time?"
"The person in charge of Fengying said there is no problem. I hold a conservative opinion. Their product quality control is indeed average, but as the first product to enter the Haicheng electric motorcycle market, as long as the product quality passes the standard, it is enough!"
After all, this is the first electric motorcycle (two-wheeled) in Haicheng that can get a "green license". If you want to take over the traditional motorcycle market in the early stage, you have to rely on them. .
