After all, netizens who often make comments online are only a small group. Many people often wonder why there are so many boxers on a certain social software? Is there a certain video software that doesn’t differentiate between black and white?
But in reality, these people only account for a very small part. The Internet has truly achieved that there is no distance, no barriers, and no quality between people. The good and bad are constantly updated every day.
People will always be constantly washed away by various ideas when they are in it. The longer they stay and the more they see a certain point of view, the more they will gradually tilt in that direction.
Anhe's game controller design just reminded Chen Zifan that with the advent of the Internet era, entertainment will definitely be diversified. Stardust Technology does not have many products, but it can provide a variety of accessories.
This is what the Stardust Game Controller is like. It’s not just because gamers have a high voice on the Internet, so it’s done. The buyers of the Stardust Game Controller and the most vocal group may not be the same group.
This is true for small products, and it is also true for large products. Stardust 2 Limited Edition was so popular on the Internet some time ago, but as a result, the votes initiated by Chen Zifan are only over 100,000, and others are not paying attention at all.
Another example is the auto Hengping review on major video websites in the future. People who can drive cars costing more than RMB 300,000 are almost completely different from people who watch auto Hengping videos. The overlapping ratio is very low. The per capita luxury car on the Internet is one million.
What about reality? There are too many things in reality. No matter how prosperous the Internet world is, people will eventually return to reality. The Internet and reality are related, but they are still two different worlds.
Of course, this does not mean that ordinary people do not have the potential to be promoted. Everyone has great potential, and the present does not represent the future~ Especially in the Internet age, everyone has the possibility of turning over.
Many netizens in the Stardust community don't seem to agree with the price of the Stardust Game Controller. That doesn't matter. Stardust Games and Stardust Game Controller will still be on the shelves as scheduled. As for the sales volume, it will definitely not be bad.
But it won’t be much better. This type of product is still too niche. Stardust mobile phone users think it is expensive, and Stardust tablet users basically buy keyboard cases. The rest must be game enthusiasts and not short of money. …
Therefore, Chen Zifan estimates that he can sell all 100,000 game controllers within two years. After the Stardust game was launched, it quickly received praise from many users. The overall quality of the games in it is indeed good.
The only drawback is that there are fewer games. The most popular and stable game is still Mirage. This game is equivalent to a development game. Just keep exploring and running city races. .
The bonuses earned can be used to buy cars, decorate villas, expand garages, and make various modifications to their cars. When they heard that the online version will be updated soon, many serious Mirage players cheered collectively:
"I have long wanted to show off my modified Xinghan 01. I spent more than 300,000 yuan on the modification fee alone. Even the spray painting on it was painted by hand. Now I don't have to stand alone anymore!"
"But...how to divide the villas in the online version? There are so many players, how many villas are there in the floating city in total? Wouldn't it be a mess if they all come in?"
"That's right~ All the bonuses I earned were used to buy villas in the game. Now I'm just a few short of collecting them all. After I collect them all, I will start buying cars and fill up all my garages. Which car do I want to drive? Just drive whichever car you want!"
"Damn it, you're awesome! You bought all the villas? Why did you buy all the villas in a racing game? You can't live in that thing. Hey, after the online version is updated, will your villa be recycled and then redistributed?"
"Then it can't be specified... I think the probability of a new map being released in the online version is higher. It's usually single-player. If you want to go online, you can enter a new map!"
"I think so too..."
The guesses of these game players are quite reliable. The online version update of Mirage Mirage will indeed launch a new map. The cars modified by players in the single-player map Floating City can be included in the new map.
At the same time, more gameplay will be unlocked, and I’m afraid there will be a small wave of game craze by then~
The original mirage only had Xinghan Zhixing’s brand stores
Support the modification of Xinghan and Xinghan 01, because Stardust will launch various modification services after it is launched, so the same will naturally be the same in the game.
Later, Xinghan became popular because of Xinghai Driving School, which inspired many people's interest in the game. Major domestic automobile manufacturers also learned from it and asked the game project team to arrange modification functions for them.
Later, it even developed to the point where players can freely use it and choose ready-made or self-created sprays to paint on the car. Some cars even have many words such as XX Supermarket, XX Hotel, XX Hotpot, etc.
What's more, the Stardust Express's promotional logo and slogans were painted on the Xinghan, turning it into a real express delivery truck. Fortunately, Mirage is not online right now, otherwise there wouldn't be many advertisements.
This is also a good thing. At least when Xinghan is launched, many unique modification plans can be found in the game and used in reality.
The matter of Stardust Game and Stardust Game Controller has come to an end. However, just when Chen Zifan was about to go to the Changhe project team to prepare for the next start-up test, the new director of Stardust Marketing Department contacted him:
"Dr. Chen, the number of votes cast for the Stardust 2 Limited Edition rose to 360,000 in one day, which is more than one-third!"
Chen Zifan:? ? ?
Damn, what's going on?
Is there a BUG? Or was the backend attacked?
impossible!
"Why did it go up so much?"
"Our new advertisement is on all major official channels, and there is a small easter egg at the end of the advertisement. The content of the easter egg is to vote for the Stardust 2 limited edition."
Chen Zifan:......
"Who did it?"
"Oh, it's the new commercial shot by Director Wang."
It turns out to be Wang Jinli, so that’s okay.
"Director Wang said: If this trend continues, the voting for Stardust 2 Limited Edition will reach the standard in less than half a month. We need to prepare materials early..."
"Okay, I get it."
What else? Just do it! Chen Zifan believed in Wang Jinli's judgment, and Wang Jinli probably didn't understand what he meant. He thought it was a new way of hype, so he wanted to promote it. In fact, he didn't really want to do it at all.
It cannot be ruled out that Wang Jinli did it deliberately. He wanted to use this method to boost the popularity of Stardust Technology, squeeze out the full potential of Stardust 2, and prevent other manufacturers from making a comeback with the limited edition of Stardust 2.
No matter what the situation is, it will not be detrimental to Stardust Technology. Then prepare in advance. According to Chen Zifan's plan, after the 1 million votes for the Stardust 2 limited edition are passed, there will be a blind ordering event.
Of the 100,000 Stardust 2 limited edition units, 20,000 units will participate in blind ordering and will be delivered directly to the order address of the blind orderer through Stardust Express the day before it is put on the shelves.
The Stardust 2 limited edition project will only be officially launched when 20,000 people blindly order online. However, after experiencing the Stardust 1 Bamboo Rhyme Edition, Chen Zifan also understands that with the current level of Stardust technology, blind ordering for 100,000 units can be achieved It can be sold.
Regarding the specific plan for the Stardust 2 limited edition, although it is just a version with a replacement back cover, Chen Zifan also has two different options. He is currently torn between these two options, because each one is very good.
One is a higher-end and more luxurious ebony version made by the same company as the Stardust 1 Bamboo Rhyme Pattern. It has a serious ebony back cover. The processing method used for the Bamboo Rhyme Pattern Edition is very similar, but the overall style will be more refined. Business oriented.
The second one is a technology derived from the Xinghan 01 variable canopy that has been being studied in the core area of the Stardust Factory: electrochromic glass, which can control the color of the glass through the amount of current to present different colors.
The general principle is: add an electrochromic layer to the glass back cover. When a positive DC voltage is applied to the conductive layer, the ions in the ion storage layer are extracted into the electrochromic layer, causing the color-changing layer to change color.
Otherwise, add the voltage in the opposite direction.
The specific effect is: the positive direction voltage will show layers of blue scales on the electrochromic glass. Each piece of this scale is very large, a bit like the effect of rhombus-shaped armor pieces put together.
The voltage in the opposite direction will be on the electric
There are layers of silver-gray scales on the photochromic glass, which is a relatively light gray and has the feel of ancient silver armor.
The blue and silver gray in the glass can also be replaced with any color, but for electrochromic glass, too bright colors are not necessarily good.
The final effects of these two solutions are completely different. The cost of the back cover is actually similar, but the ebony has no risk of breaking, while the electrochromic glass will really break if it breaks.
You can only go to the Stardust after-sales center to replace it. If you are lucky, the back cover may be in stock, but if you are not lucky...
Then you can only change it to a regular back cover, and the limited edition becomes a regular model. Generally, no one can accept this gap, even though the price is the same.
Chen Zifan himself preferred the first option, but when he held a high-level meeting, many senior executives of Stardust Technology all preferred the second option.
The reason they gave is also very simple:
"Ebony, I dare not use ebony for the desk in my office. The original positioning of Stardust 2 is lower than that of Stardust 3. It is better to use the ebony back cover for Stardust 3+ with higher specifications and more atmosphere. This is More matching."
"Yes, Director Chen, we are a technology company! Just give them some technical work! The electrochromic glass back cover has a bulging effect, which is very suitable for young people! It looks really beautiful when you take it out! "
"76% of our users are young people in their 20s and 30s. Ebony is too mature and stable, and has a strong business scope. It would be better to use it on Stardust 3+. I can guarantee that Stardust 3+ will become our milestone product!"
"Director Chen, I am different from these duplicitous guys. I am more direct: I support the placement of Ebony on Stardust 3+ for only one reason. I want to use it to show off at various wine venues!"
"Me too! This is in line with our stable temperament! 4G + ebony, who doesn't like it?"
Chen Zifan:......
"Ahem, it doesn't have to be so straightforward..."
He didn't see the stability of these senior executives. As some senior executives said, Ebony is more suitable for higher-end flagship phones. At the price of 5999, people are no longer considering the configuration more.
Because at this price, as long as the added value of the brand or the added value of advertising is not too high, the configuration will not be bad. Of course, the brand power cannot be too poor. The remaining design and texture are the most important factors.
Of course, the texture goes without saying, but the design... Many senior executives knew about the design of Stardust 3+ in advance. As for the back cover, the two different materials for the back cover are both good, but compared to ebony, they chose ebony.
"The plan for Stardust 3+ has been finalized before. There are two back covers made of different materials. If you want to change it now, you have to replace one of them. I won't hesitate. You can choose between plain leather and ebony. "
Chen Zifan said this and agreed to use electrochromic glass for the Stardust 2 limited edition, and then replace the plain leather material of the Stardust 3+, because the other material is real glazed ceramic.
The back cover of Stardust mobile phones has always been in two styles: smooth surface + rough surface, which can provide more choices. This is why the back covers of Stardust 1 and Stardust 2 have both glossy glass and frosted glass.
If Chen Zifan insists on putting ebony on the Stardust 2 limited edition, these executives have nothing to do, but after comprehensive consideration, perhaps electrochromic glass is the best choice, and just put ebony on Stardust 3+ .
When they heard that the material was going to be replaced with plain leather, the faces of these senior executives suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, but there was nothing they could do about it. If you give up, you will get something, so now they had no choice but to reluctantly give up:
"Plain leather is not durable and easily worn out. Ebony looks more advanced and is more durable..."
"Choose ebony!"
"Same!"
"..."
The plan for the limited edition of Stardust 2 was finalized, and the original plan for Stardust 3+ was also changed. Chen Zifan also arranged a new round of work for these senior executives, including the production of color-changing glass and so on.
The manufacturers of the Stardust ecological chain plan do not have the ability to produce electrochromic glass, so this part has to be produced by the Stardust factory. Putting aside natural losses, Stardust
The dust factory is expected to produce 120,000 pieces of color-changing glass back covers.
These back covers will also have a separate wire to connect to the lithium battery of Stardust 2. The design team of Stardust OS will also need to specially create an electrochromic theme and place the color-changing button on the desktop.
The workload of this part of the work was very small. The design team only divided a team of seven people, which took less than a day to complete. The theme was also made into blue and silver gray, and a wave of adaptations were also made.
While controlling the electro-induced glass discoloration, the theme color of Stardust OS will also be changed accordingly. This itself is not a very high-tech thing, but when the theme, control, and glass discoloration are combined...
It will form a strong sense of technological atmosphere, which is indeed something that the ebony back cover cannot have.
Chen Zifan's electro-glass back cover has just been prepared for production samples, and the voting for the Stardust 2 limited edition in the Stardust community has reached (1000000/1000000), which is a little faster than Wang Jinli expected.
I have to say that the advertisements on the official channel are really cruel, and it also shows that the base of Stardust users is really huge. Before the netizens who clicked ✓ cheered, the Stardust marketing department released a blind order limited edition announcement.
