"The security measures at Xinghai Stadium?"
"no problem!"
"Xinghai Highway..."
"no problem!"
"Stardust directly-operated stores and authorized stores must ensure sufficient supply of goods. The five Xinghan directly-operated stores must be prepared during the press conference. The exhibition and test drive of Xinghan Mini will be held at Stardust Plaza and Xinghai Highway!"
"It's been arranged!"
“5,000 4G base stations in Haicheng…”
"All construction is completed, and the Xinghai Service Station has also been put into use. Our entire city in Haicheng can receive 4G signals, and the speed is amazing!"
Chen Zifan nodded and took a Stardust 3+ from the employee. After lighting up the screen, a 4G signal was displayed in the upper right corner. In fact, they tested 4G once last month, but it was not fully open at that time.
He opened the Stardust application and downloaded Mirage. There was nothing he could do. Among the current Stardust applications, Mirage's installation package had the largest size, reaching nearly 0.7GB, and the remaining daily software was only a dozen MB.
According to the speed of previous tests, those daily software can be downloaded in two or three seconds at most. Because of the download acceleration of the Stardust application, an average of 3 to 10MB can be downloaded per second, which is more than ten times that of current home wifi.
They have also tested the mass-produced version of Stardust 3+ and the 4G unlimited data phone cards provided by the three major operators, but that is just a piece of data, which is far from the real display and the shock of seeing it with the naked eye.
For example, Bolt, the 100-meter flying man, ran 9.58 seconds at the World Championships in Berlin. When people hear this result and see him running, they have completely different feelings.
Chen Zifan also knew the approximate level of Haicheng's current new 4G, but he wanted to see how many seconds it would take to download a 648MB Haicheng Phantom at the Xinghai Stadium, and asked his employees to stand aside for a while.
The moment he clicked the download button, he only saw that the download progress bar instantly changed from 0% to 1%, and then increased crazily with more than 1% progress in one second, and soon rushed to 100%, and the change also occurred in seconds. The pause.
"How many seconds?"
"68.7 seconds! 9.43MB per second on average."
"What about other download speeds?"
"In the Tudou Video APP, downloading a 238MB standard-definition movie averages 4.8MB per second, which is half the speed of downloading the Stardust app..."
"normal."
Chen Zifan nodded. The installation package download of the Stardust application has been specially optimized, so it can directly reach nearly 10MB per second. If it is a higher-level 5G, the speed can be 10 times faster under ideal conditions.
That is to say, the average download speed can reach nearly 100MB per second. Of course, this is only under ideal conditions. Normally, the speed of downloading applications using 5G is about 50MB, and downloading other applications will be slower.
Rather than saying that the 4G of Stardust 3+ is a new type of 4G, it is better to say that it is an intermediate form of 4.5G that surpasses the original 4G and is lower than the original 5G. Using the new 4G technology, Stardust Technology has also derived some new things.
For example, the in-car wifi installed on Xinghan mini is essentially a 4G card with unlimited traffic to open a hotspot, which is also a small selling point of Xinghan mini.
"Bring me another Stardust 3."
The chip used by Stardust 3 is Dimensity 300, which does not have 4G, but it does have 3G. The 4G base station in Haicheng can also transmit 3G signals with backward compatibility, because it is originally formed by absorbing existing 3G technology.
The download speed of Stardust 3 is much worse. In a simple test, the download speed of Stardust application can only reach 1.1MB/s, while the download speed of other applications is only equivalent to the current home wifi, 300~600KB per second.
This is due to the fact that Haicheng is a 4G base station. If it is placed in other cities, the download speed will be reduced by about 10%, because 3G itself is not a very useful technology, and the stability is not as good as wifi.
That is to say, the tuning of Stardust 3 is good enough, but it will still be a bit worse if you switch to other brands of mobile phones.
Before the press conference, Chen Zifan confirmed the status of each demonstration product again. After confirming that there were no problems, he only needed to arrange the venue. However, when the press conference is held in a stadium, the audience is from all directions.
And they were looking from a top-down perspective. There were four large screens directly above, but they couldn't just stare at the screens. They had to use the entire venue and combine all kinds of equipment.
In order to solve this problem, they came up with a very good way to build a layer of something similar to a movie curtain on the ground of the stadium, but it was gray, covering the track and football field.
Then install some projection equipment under the four square screens directly above. When the press conference starts, you only need to project it below, and flowing product information, introductions, Xinghan mini car track, etc. will appear.
Projection is not difficult.
An important reason why Chen Zifan does not make smart TVs is that the usage rate of TVs will definitely become lower and lower, and the market structure has been fixed, and the smart TVs he has seen have various problems.
For example, there are so many advertisements that we need all kinds of VIPs, including advertising VIPs, sports VIPs, children’s area VIPs, film and television area VIPs, fitness sports VIPs, and different software...
I know this is a smart TV.
Those who didn’t know better thought it was a billboard.
Stardust Technology's selling points are panels and screens. There is no need to go out and make smart TVs by yourself. Compared to TV sets, Chen Zifan is more optimistic about projection equipment.
This is also a direction that Stardust Technology wants to make breakthroughs in the next few years. Of course, the focus now is not to imagine the future, but to prepare for the "Internet of Everything" theme conference first. After all, there are only two days left.
While Chen Zifan and others were busy preparing, many people who had received tickets to the auditorium had already come to Haicheng and settled in a commercial area near Stardust Technology, just waiting for the press conference to start.
It's interesting to say that when Stardust Technology was first established, this area was still undeveloped. Now it has actually formed a small commercial area, not only with guesthouses, hotels, but also various specialty snacks.
And more of the audience are locals from Haicheng. There is no way, even if we recruit audiences from all over the country, due to various factors such as insufficient transportation, not many people can actually attend, and we have to rely on locals from Haicheng.
On the last night before the press conference, even all the parking spaces around Stardust Technology were occupied. If parking was not allowed in Stardust Plaza, Chen Zifan had no doubt that Stardust Plaza would become a parking lot.
On the second day, the entrance to Xinghai Stadium was already overcrowded before noon. Everyone was looking in through the door, but they couldn't see anything clearly, and the Stardust press conference was at seven o'clock in the evening.
The anxious crowd could not see the situation inside the museum and could only gather in groups outside the museum to discuss:
"Oh, I'm really anxious! I came all the way here and I can't see anything! Also, the time of Stardust Technology's press conference cannot be changed!"
"It's definitely better at night than during the day! Night is a time when people are relatively emotional, and it's easy to be affected by the surrounding environment at this time. As soon as the press conference is over, you might get excited and buy something directly!"
"Haha! I just bought the limited edition version of Stardust 2! No matter what products Stardust Technology comes up with, I am definitely not interested in it and they don't want to make any more money from me!"
"They don't earn you a penny, they only earn you hundreds or thousands, and the phone case costs 99!"
"You guys, what's going on with Stardust Technology this time? Except for Xinghan Mini, how come there's nothing else revealed? Stardust 3 has only released a vague poster, and only an outline can be seen .”
"Whatever, it's a mule or a horse out for a walk, we'll all know tonight!"
Some onlookers are still imagining whether there will be any singing and dancing performances tonight. Logically speaking, Stardust Technology is so large that it is not allowed to invite some celebrities to help out, dance and lively.
In fact, there is no such thing. Stardust Technology’s products don’t even have spokespersons, so they hire celebrities... The strength of their own products is here, so why do they need to add these added values?
In Chen Zifan's view, instead of spending hundreds or tens of millions on a celebrity spokesperson, it would be more affordable to build two more roads and build more charging stations.
There are definitely no singing and dancing performances, but there are a lot of fireworks. Chen Zifan knows that people like to watch this, especially in this kind of occasion. It is perfect to start with fireworks, and the atmosphere will heat up immediately.
At 6 o'clock in the evening, the Xinghai Stadium finally opened. The spectators who had been waiting for the whole day poured directly into the stadium. Those with tickets went in, and those without tickets stayed.
They also saw the scene inside the Xinghai Stadium for the first time. Except for the auditorium, the entire stadium floor was covered with a light gray material, and there was a small conference platform in the center.
In fact, its area is not small. It is only because the stadium is too big that it looks small. When people stand in it, it becomes even smaller. Therefore, some cameras are needed to broadcast the pictures to the large screen above.
Many spectators were scanning the venue as soon as they entered. However, there were only some staff in the venue and Chen Zifan was not seen. There was only a vertical screen on the stage, and I didn't know what it was used for.
"There are four big screens above our heads. Why do we have such a screen on the stage? We can see it from here, but we definitely can't see it from the other side!"
"There's a camera, no problem!"
"This is normal, the seats in the stadium are like this. I have been to the World Cup before, and they have VIP seats. That's where the best viewing angle is!"
"It's very simple. If you want to see it clearly, just watch it on TV. If you want to feel the atmosphere, just go to the venue!"
"Hey, I'm just unlucky and can't help it..."
The time passed by, and the audience couldn't help but hold their breath, watching the clock directly above 6:59:59 jump to 7 o'clock, and the opening fireworks began to be set off around the dome of the stadium.
Among the fireworks, you can even see some past products of Stardust Technology, including the smallest Stardust Bluetooth headset, the smaller Stardust 1, the larger Stardust 2, the larger Stardust Tablet, and the Stardust Technology logo.
After the Changhe project team set off fireworks last time, Chen Zifan seemed to have lit up a new skill. The entire process of setting off fireworks was not long, only about two minutes, and then the lights dimmed.
The spotlight shone on the exit of the athletes' tunnel, and a custom-painted Xinghan mini with all the logos of Stardust Technology, Xinghan Zhixing, Stardust Express, Stardust Network... etc. slowly drove out.
At the same time, the projector directly above also projected a "channel" of Xinghan Mini. Chen Zifan, who was sitting in the car, only needed to drive along the route and stop in the white circle projected directly in front of the conference platform.
After arriving at the destination, opening the door, getting out of the car, getting on stage, and turning around to face the camera were all done in one go. Using the Xinghan mini with the logo as the entrance method was the result of their unanimous discussion.
The moment Chen Zifan stepped onto the stage, the audience burst into cheers and applause. In terms of popularity alone, Chen Zifan was not bad at all.
Some viewers also questioned:
"Damn it! Do you have a sitter?"
This is really a misunderstanding. Stardust Technology does not have many employees. In the past, it was possible to organize an atmosphere group with hundreds of thousands of people. Now there are 20,000 spectators. It is really difficult for them to bring the atmosphere of the whole place with such a small number of employees. .
Chen Zifan wants to tell everyone in this way that Xinghan Mini is a normal product. No matter what job you have, what age you are, how much income you have... there is no problem in driving Xinghan Mini.
What? A car worth more than 50,000 yuan is shameless?
The chairman of Stardust Technology drives a Xinghan Mini every time he goes out. Do you have more dignity than Chen Zifan? Or are you more respectable than Mo Shaokun of Huaya Group?
Perhaps one day in the future Xinghan Zhixing will have a certain pronoun like some luxury car brands, but at least for now, Xinghan Zhixing is a new challenger.
Facing the 20,000 live audience, Chen Zifan did not feel much change in his emotions. Facing the camera and countless audiences, he said:
"After the 'Era of Speed' press conference, we haven't seen each other for a year. During this year, Stardust Technology has done a lot of things... But these are not important anymore. Today we have brought a better product!
We named this conference the "Internet of Everything" theme conference, aiming to create an era of "Internet of Everything" through the Internet and Stardust OS, and provide more convenience for our lives! "
At the same time, a promotional poster for "Internet of Everything" appeared on the screen behind Chen Zifan. This poster had actually been posted on the Stardust community. The purpose of reprinting it was first to deepen the impression, and secondly...
"Many people may have noticed that when I came on stage, I came up empty-handed. I didn't take anything. If I don't have a product, do I have to rely on PPT to introduce it? Don't worry, the first product today is--"
Chen Zifan turned around and walked towards the big screen behind him. Under the gaze of countless viewers and cameras, he picked off a rectangular object from the screen. It turned out to be a Stardust 3 that had been hidden on the big screen in advance.
This operation directly shocked countless viewers. Even many viewers who were lying down to watch the live broadcast of the Stardust conference shouted "fuck" and got up from the bed.
"What's happening here?"
"Get your phone from the big screen?"
"I didn't even notice it just now! It was so well hidden! Who would have thought that the phone would be there?"
"Stardust Technology is awesome!"
"Is it Stardust 3? It must be, right? The top and bottom are so narrow this time? It's the same as the left and right borders!"
