Well, it's definitely not because he didn't receive it...
In fact, there are some. For example, Anhe gave him a purple clay pot last year. Although he has no use for it, it still counts as something.
After calming down a little, Chen Zifan roughly guessed the reason. The image created by the media for him is that of an unkind person with a strong sense of rules. For example, the monthly employee levels...
Secondly, whether employees or cadres, there are not that many opportunities to contact him, and they are also worried that if they give a gift, their jobs will be lost.
Moreover, Wang Jinli and Zhao Wushang were already at a high enough level in Stardust Technology, so there was no need to go to Chen Zifan. Of course, there was another point: they really didn’t know Chen Zifan’s preferences and didn’t know what to give.
The purple clay pot that An He gave last time was a test after being instigated. In their opinion, Chen Zifan and An He had a "good" relationship. After all, An He was the person Chen Zifan asked for by name, and he was treated very well.
However, Chen Zifan did not give any feedback after receiving it, so this year they planned to test it out again. The representative they sent was An He, but unfortunately, An He said nothing and said specifically:
"Please! We really have a normal relationship! Director Chen is a busy man, and we seldom see him. He only comes here when Stardust Games wants to acquire a project or develops a new game!"
"Then what do you think Director Chen likes?"
"That's right! It's important to go with what you want!"
An He was speechless upon hearing this: "How did I know this? But if you like it...he really has something he likes, but you can't give it away."
As soon as she finished speaking, several middle-level cadres immediately expressed their dissatisfaction: "I don't believe it! Just tell me and see!"
"We, Mr. Chen, like electronic products. Stardust Technology is the best electronic product manufacturer in China. How do you give it away? Just save it~ Instead of doing this, it is better to go back early to celebrate the New Year with your family!"
"It doesn't matter whether it's Chinese New Year or not. Anyway, I usually have a long holiday. What I'm paying attention to is what's the year-end bonus this year? Xinghan Mini? Polestar X? Or a mobile phone? It can't just be money again! It's too vulgar!"
"..."
"Damn it! We are all our own people here. If outsiders hear it, you won't be able to leave this room! It's too vulgar to pay back money... Why don't you need money? Only with money can you be stress-free like this! "
"I know, I know... I mean, whether the year-end bonus is a mobile phone or a car, at least it saves a step! We don't need to buy it specially, and if it's a car, it must be of good quality!"
"Don't you have a car?"
"Then you can't buy another one for my mom and dad? Let them drive the car for their own entertainment!"
"I don't really want anything. Personally, I hope that our Stardust Technology can enter the field of laptop computers. Tablets are easy to use, but they are not very interesting in terms of extreme performance~"
"It's not a problem with the tablet, it's a problem with the chip! According to the news I have received so far, there is no special plan for notebook CPUs, but it should be soon - three years at the latest. It will definitely go in this direction."
"We can't leave even if we want to. There's so much pressure from the outside world! I heard that all the goods Mr. Wang sent overseas are gone... Do you understand what that means?"
"Hi~ So serious!?"
"Absolutely! It's just that the outside world can't see it. Director Chen is really awesome. He is like a normal person. The progress of the product is not affected at all. If any accessory or technology disappears, a replacement can be found immediately."
"Isn't this going to make those crooked Chinese people angry to death?"
"Haha, they are already very angry, but there is nothing we can do. It is difficult for the product to be exported now, so we can only continue to work in China, unless one day..."
"What?"
"Unless one day, Stardust Technology's technology and products are so powerful that they cannot suppress them by any means! But it is too difficult to achieve this. Fortunately, we also have some allies who supply raw materials."
"Hey, why are you talking about this? Just trust Director Chen. We are waiting for Director Chen's arrangements for next year. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so why not talk about the year-end bonus?"
"That's true..."
Some of the more outstanding employees and cadres have another idea: "No! Why should I give them things! I have worked hard for Stardust Technology for a year, I should be given more year-end bonuses!"
Ah, very good! Very classy!
Chen Zifan also likes this kind of employees and cadres. At the year-end meeting before the Spring Festival, Chen Zifan once again showed off the benefits of Stardust Technology to the outside world. At the same time, he also announced version 2.0 of the housing allocation operation:
"Next year, Stardust Technology will plan Xinghai Park in three cities, namely Jingcheng, Jincheng, and Shacheng. Employees working in these three subsidiaries can apply to the Stardust Technology headquarters for property transfer.
Xinghai Garden in Haicheng will usher in a new wave of expansion. It is expected that by the end of next year, 12,000 households will be built in Xinghai Garden in Haicheng. Each household will still have an area of 56 square meters, but new personal parking spaces will be planned..."
As soon as Chen Zifan finished speaking, all the Stardust employees present cheered. When it comes to floor space, Stardust Technology can allocate its energy to build parking lots around Xinghai Park and Stardust Technology.
Of course, he is not prepared to do it all on the ground. The land is too big and too wasteful, so the best option is to build an underground parking lot. Each parking space will also reserve a charging pile interface. Whether to connect it depends on the individual. .
The employees also started talking:
"Isn't this good? It just so happens that my Xinghan mini doesn't have to crowd the parking lot every day. If I buy another Xinghan 009 or Xinghan 001 in the future, there is also a parking space."
"Holy shit, you're so fucking greedy!"
"As long as one car is enough! I plan to wait for the Xinghan 001 to come out and buy the Xinghan Mini. Anyway, it is cheaper for us to buy it by ourselves. Then we can go for a ride in Taitianqi. It will be great!"
"Why not buy Xinghan 009?"
"Don't you understand this? Xinghan 009 is suitable for people with Mr. Wang's temperament to ride. Young people like us should ride something different to show our personality!"
"I think you want to have a girl!"
"Oh, damn! You are slandering me!"
"Is that true?"
"..."
"In the future, newly promoted [Stardust employees] will also be able to get 56 square meters of housing. It seems that 56 square meters will be the standard in the future. It will also avoid uneven distribution between the front and rear. If you want to live in a big house, then go out and buy a new one..."
"Good guy! Do you want to buy a new house now? Anyway, before I get married, no! It's impossible to change before I have children. 56 square meters is enough for me to live in."
"I also…"
56 square meters is not big, but as an employee benefit, it can be given away to solve the housing problem... Chen Zifan is the first one. This will not only allow employees to save more money to stimulate consumption, but also bring a lot of money to Haicheng permanent population and promote overall economic development.
After Chen Zifan said that, he left. He only briefly talked about these two things. There was nothing else to talk about. There were so many staff meetings held in normal times, so why bother talking about it today?
And he also saw that when he was present, many employees were under pressure and did not dare to move or speak too loudly. In fact, this was not necessary at all, and he would not pick on employees for such trivial matters.
But it’s normal to think about it. Who can say accurately about things in the workplace? He has had a similar experience and knows that it is always right to be careful everywhere. Sometimes it is troublesome to say more than a few words.
Compared with the elation of the employees, Wang Jinli looked much more decadent. It cannot be said that he was decadent, but he looked not in a good condition. As soon as Chen Zifan found him, he stopped dead in his tracks and began to curse:
"The bully! Labor and management...I just won't give in! Those who oppressed me must make them pay the price!"
Chen Zifan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, it's just a batch of goods. It's not a big deal. They will have plenty of opportunities to regret it in the future."
With this incident, Stardust Technology will no longer be able to release any products to their market.
Chen Zifan believed that Wang Jinli would be able to adjust within a few days, and this was indeed the case. Before the Spring Festival, he regrouped and continued to expand into other overseas markets. It seemed that he was preparing to change his strategy.
It was still the same during the Spring Festival. Compared with the excitement of his parents, Chen Zifan seemed a little out of place. He didn't care much. After spending two days with his parents, he returned to Stardust Technology and began to prepare for the follow-up work.
The first is the new version of Stardust 3 and Stardust 3+. According to his plan, Stardust 3 will launch a rather special color scheme. No, it can’t be called a color scheme...
It is a new version that is very similar to the Stardust 2-Electrochromic Edition. It adds a "liquid cooling device" to the original glass back cover, which has little impact on the heat dissipation effect and is more of an aesthetic improvement. .
For example, there is a circle of liquid-cooled heat dissipation packages similar to light strips around the outer edge of the single lens of Stardust 3. However, they are not connected rings. If you look carefully, there is a breakpoint because there is a very small piezoelectric micro-circuit at the connection. Pumps are used to continuously transport liquids.
The Stardust logo has also become a lot larger, because such a liquid cooling device cannot be made too small. The entire new logo is also composed of liquid cooling heat pipes, which will show a flowing effect when the mobile phone is working.
Of course, this design is still a bit too radical. Fortunately, this is a new version. If it were the standard version... it would probably be criticized by many consumers.
Those who like it really like it, and those who don't like it won't even take a glance at it. This is the case with the new version of Stardust 3, which can be predicted before it is released.
Chen Zifan didn’t give it a fancy name, and just named it Stardust 3-liquid cooling version. There must be specific cooling effects, and the performance has also been improved to a certain extent, but the overall improvement is not as big as expected.
It's more of a gimmick to show off Stardust Technology's R&D capabilities. The new version of Stardust 3+ will use a "very new" material, somewhat similar to Kevlar aramid fiber material.
In the end, Chen Zifan did not choose plain leather material. Although in his impression, the sales of high-end models using plain leather material were good, such as Xiaomi, Huawei, vivo... But from all angles, plain leather still did not meet his needs, so Simply replaced it with new materials.
Kevlar was actually the brand name of a certain DuPont product. It first became famous because it was widely used in body armor, bulletproof helmets, and aerospace materials, and later became a popular material.
It is said that the strength of Kevlar is 5 to 6 times that of high-quality steel, its modulus is 2 to 3 times that of steel, its toughness is twice that of steel, and its weight is only 1/5 of steel.
Some official mobile phone cases even come with Kevlar phone cases. However, this Kevlar case is not Kevlar, just like many plastic imitation carbon fiber cases. They look similar but are not actually the same thing.
The new version of Stardust 3+ is not made of Kevlar, but a similar aramid fiber material, and a special coating is also applied to this layer of material to increase the feel.
In fact, the final product effect~
It is still somewhat similar to plain leather, but it does not have the shortcomings of plain leather. As we all know, Stardust Technology is not good at high-tech materials, and this time it was also launched for the purpose of upgrading.
The back cover of this material also has its own characteristics, such as high temperature resistance, wear resistance, toughness, and corrosion resistance... But these characteristics only belong to the back cover, not to the entire phone. Just look at the Kevlar phone case~
Kevlar phone cases are quite durable and can be dropped many times without any damage, but the phone inside is not that good! The middle frame deforms when it needs to, and the back cover breaks when it needs to, and its protective properties are not as good as a silicone phone case.
For this reason, Chen Zifan also specially designed a buffer layer under the back cover of the new version of Stardust 3+.
Therefore, the thickness of the Stardust 3+ body has increased a bit, which does not matter, because the slightly curved tempered glass panel and slightly curved back cover design of the Stardust 3+ can make the hand feel better, which is also the advantage of the curved screen.
In fact, many manufacturers were unwilling to make flagship phones with curved screens at the beginning. Some curved screens still have green edges and serious accidental touch, but they still insist on making them. Don’t they know the problem? There is no second option.
Because flagship phones need to be piled with various materials, the materials stacked on Android flagship phones are thicker than those of Apple. And users who buy flagship phones are picky about texture, so naturally they cannot accept thick and large bricks.
Except Apple pmx…
At this time, if you use a curved screen + curved back cover, the hand feeling will be much better, and the curved screen can also be a new marketing selling point.
Of course, Chen Zifan's reasons for choosing a curved screen are different, because Stardust Technology has not yet been able to achieve the extremely narrow sides and first-class visual effects, and even if it can do it, it does not necessarily have to replace the curved screen. can coexist at the same time.
Compared to the new versions of Stardust 3 and Stardust 3+, as well as Stardust-Chenji, Chen Zifan is more concerned about the problems with Stardust 4 and Stardust 4+. You must know that these two models have used magic modifications. Super fast USB.
That kind of air-charging technology is just a concept product even in 2022. Stardust Technology will directly mass-produce it if it wants to come up with it... You can imagine the difficulty. Thanks to the delay in the release of Stardust 4 and Stardust 4+ by one year.
If this was to be released this summer, Chen Zifan was really worried that he would not be able to make it in time. Fortunately, there was still plenty of time, enough for him to move out the technology from [Stardust Technology] and apply it to the product bit by bit.
