"This...how is this possible?"
"Whether it is an optical glass lens or an optical plastic lens, it cannot be adjusted after molding!"
The person in charge of the lens manufacturer said that he had never heard such a weird request in his life. The production process of ordinary lenses is not complicated, and they can also make high-level lenses, although most of the machines are imported...
But like Stardust Technology, they have never seen an operation that breaks the limits of the industry.
The group leader was speechless:
"Why else are you here?"
"But…"
"Nothing is wrong. What we need is a long-term and reliable partner. Stardust Technology will solve everything related to technology and equipment. You are responsible for the raw materials and follow the requirements of Stardust Technology..."
At the current level, there is definitely no way to create glasses that can adjust the power, let alone adjust them adaptively according to the human eye. Even if there were, it would be impossible to circulate them on the market. Wouldn’t that be damaging the optical shop’s business?
Chen Zifan is not worried that the glasses industry will affect Stardust Technology, but it will be very troublesome to solve.
In order to ensure the development speed of Stardust Technology, if they can cooperate, they will cooperate. If they cannot cooperate, they will directly support the subsidiaries and reshuffle the market.
Chen Zifan did not require Stardust Technology’s first-generation AR glasses to have any virtual reality functions, but they must have basic functions, such as making and receiving calls, bringing a Bluetooth headset, displaying navigation information, etc.
It is somewhat similar to the head-up display function of Xinghan 001, but it is more convenient than the head-up display.
There are also functions such as notification information and real-time translation. The more advanced function is the giant screen in the sky. From the AR glasses, you can see a huge screen of more than 100 inches, which can not only be used to play videos.
You can also do office work and games.
Take Mirage as an example. In the past, when I wanted to play games while lying on the bed, sitting was the most comfortable position. When lying down, I had to raise my head, and holding the phone in my hand was very tiring, and there was a risk of it falling and hitting my nose.
If you use AR glasses, you can avoid this situation, and you can play games and watch movies while lying down.
So how to control it?
Chen Zifan's planning plan mentioned three control methods, one is through the touch buttons on the AR glasses, the other is gesture recognition, and the third is through specific equipment, which is somewhat similar to using a game controller.
Of course, in addition to these methods, there is also the most direct and labor-saving control method, which is to use "consciousness", but this method of control is too science fiction, a bit unrealistic, and the sequelae will be very serious.
Just imagine, a consumer buys Stardust AR glasses and equips them with an air-to-air charger, which is equivalent to unlimited battery life. Then he lies down on the bed and can enjoy various entertainment without even moving his fingers...
That's absolutely terrible.
Why did the short video platform take off?
Because it can take people to places they have never been before, see scenery they have never seen before, listen to stories told by strangers, and watch various mixed cuts in just ten seconds. The high-frequency pleasure is constantly stimulating the brain.
And the price is just a snap of your fingers.
Many people originally just wanted to watch short videos in their free time to relieve fatigue, but after opening it, when they realized it, they had traveled to several hours later, and it was just a short video.
If AR glasses are used and AR glasses develop to a certain stage, it may even replace smartphones and become a new universal product.
What smartphones can do, AR glasses can do too! And it’s even more convenient than a smartphone!
However, if we don’t develop a certain product because we are afraid that ordinary people will become addicted, what is the difference between restricting minors from playing games? Moreover, the current AR glasses are only in the project establishment stage. The initial gimmick > the actual effect, we have to wait for the product strength to be improved.
Chen Zifan is not worried that AR glasses will replace smartphones in a short time. Don’t forget that smartphones have just entered their infancy and have not yet reached their true golden peak. It’s very early~
Light Stardust Mobile Phone Current
The product planning plans have all planned for Stardust 7 and Stardust 8. According to the current development progress, the Stardust 7 and 8 era will enter a bottleneck period, and development will not be as fast as it is now.
People from the project team and lens manufacturers were responsible for handling AR glasses matters. Chen Zifan, along with Yang Zhirong, began to make arrangements for Xinghan 002 and Polestar S. On the way, he also received news from Wang Jinli, saying that Apple’s new phone was also Getting ready for release.
The death of Steve Jobs has had a huge impact on Apple. Several top executives are still engaged in a power struggle, but the product must be released. After all, this is the last product left by the "technology madman", and the popularity of Apple's new machine has also reached to a terrifying level.
The most important thing is that Apple's new phone is a "4G phone" with very high configuration. According to foreign media reports, Stardust 3 and Stardust 3+ are beaten in all directions countless times every day.
They also say that China's 4G is "fake 4G", Stardust Technology is a "liar company", and the 4G used by Apple is the "real 4G" and the future development direction...
It's a shame that Chen Zifan didn't know about this, otherwise he would have had to complain about it. How many times have he said "liar company"? Even the national athletes are refuting the rumors, but the media can still say this shamelessly?
And "real 4G"...
Does Apple have 4G communication technology?
Chen Zifan does not know which was the earliest 4G mobile phone in his memory, but he is certain that domestic Tianyu Hornet 4G and Samsung N7108D are the earliest 4G mobile phones, and foreign countries are HTCEvo4G.
HTC is definitely earlier than Apple.
Now it must be Stardust Technology. I don’t even know how much Stardust Technology holds the patent for 4G communication technology. Now they come out and say that 4G is the future development direction? What do you think?
Do you really think locals don’t watch world news?
How outrageous!
To be honest, Chen Zifan is really a little curious about what Apple's new phone looks like. He is just curious, because he is not worried about the threat Apple will pose to Stardust Technology. In his opinion, Apple can produce the benchmark Stardust 3 phones are pretty good.
It is completely impossible to chase Stardust 3+.
Not to mention Stardust 4~
The gap in hardware alone cannot catch up, let alone Stardust OS, which is optimized to have almost no bugs. It is also developing ecological chain products and the Internet of Everything. It is strange that Apple, which has lost Steve Jobs, can catch up.
So Chen Zifan was only slightly interested, and then put the matter behind him. Wang Jinli would notify him when the time came.
Just wait patiently for half a month and it will be fine~
Let’s solve the car problem first.
Yang Zhirong was also very capable. He led his team of engineers to the Xinghan Automobile Factory.
Among the next three new energy vehicles, Polestar Motors accounts for two, and the expected mass production time is very early, so it is impossible for him not to pay attention to this matter.
However, among the two new car plans of Polestar Motors, the status of Polestar A (sedan) is obviously not as good as that of Polestar S (SUV), and will be relatively behind.
After all, Polestar X is here...
This car has been a hit since it was launched.
So SUV is the real highlight!
Chen Zifan also arranged for some designers and engineers to come over. Before preparation, according to the agreed "rules", he had to make an opening statement:
"Ordinary car companies will produce their own products according to the existing market situation, but we will not do this. There is such a rule in economics... Let's go ahead and talk about new cars first:
Starting from August, Xinghan Zhixing and Polestar Motors will focus on building two compact SUVs! As our main product to expand the market next! "
"What is an SUV?"
"You don't know this? Oh~ It turns out to be an assembly workshop. SUV refers to a sports utility vehicle. To put it simply, it can do everything. It can run on highways and rough roads. It has a lot of space and is comfortable..."
"so good
? "
"Then why do SUVs sell so well?"
"How do you know the sales are mediocre? It seems like... I've never seen an SUV on the road."
"I've seen off-road vehicles before."
"I heard Mr. Yang say that last year, the sales volume of SUVs in the national auto market was not even 1%, it seems to be only about 0.2%. The sales volume is so low. Is it a bit risky for us to build an SUV? Can it be sold?"
"What are you talking about? You can doubt your own assembly skills, but you must not doubt Director Chen and Mr. Yang's vision and judgment of the market! Didn't you hear Director Chen say that ordinary car companies only follow market rules?"
"The reason for the poor sales of SUVs is that there is no comprehensive and capable product on the market! There are a few imported cars, all selling for more than 300,000 yuan. Who will buy them?"
"300000!?"
"Why not buy Xinghan 001?"
Under normal circumstances, employees who work for any car company will basically not consider the car of the car company when buying a car. Xinghan Zhixing is just the opposite. As soon as employees have money, they buy their own cars.
Focusing on internal digestion…
Because of this incident, the media previously claimed that Xinghan Zhixing's cars could not be sold and could only be discounted to employees at cost prices. However, reality slapped them hard in the face. None of Xinghan Zhixing's cars had poor sales.
Chen Zifan gave a brief introduction, and then asked one of the main engineers of Xinghan Zhixing to introduce Xinghan 002 and Polestar S. Although the two products are both compact SUVs, their design languages are completely different.
Polestar S has the shape of a traditional SUV in Chen Zifan's impression. It is quite satisfactory and has no major highlights, but it cannot be said to be inferior in appearance. If you have to compare it, it is a bit like the GAC AIONY, with differences in details.
It is an advanced version of Taxi Polestar X!
As for Xinghan 002, the initial design template was based on the Changan Deep Blue S7. Later, during the design process, it gradually began to tilt in the direction of extreme krypton, and was later forcibly corrected by Chen Zifan.
The final overall effect is somewhat similar to Geely Xingyue L and BYD Song Plus, but the design language of the front face is completely different. It is a product in the same line as Xinghan 001, but there are not so many science fiction elements.
It’s all about practicality!
On the other hand, the frameless doors of Xinghan 001 have been retained. In theory, it would be a bit strange to have frameless doors on an SUV, but when engineers put the renderings of the two products on the big screen in the factory...even the well-informed Yang Zhirong, who has driven a good car, also fell silent.
Chen Zifan could always surprise him.
This time is no exception.
Whether it is Xinghan 002 or Polestar S, in Yang Zhirong's eyes, they are both avant-garde and explosive designs. In comparison, he even felt that the cars he had driven before were very old-fashioned and none of them had a decent design.
It’s not Chen Zifan’s fault. It’s true that cars these days... don’t pay much attention to appearance design.
Basically, they all focus on practicality. As long as it can be driven and the leather is durable, what is the use of the exterior design?
What? Do you have to?
That’s not impossible~
Need to pay more.
Cars costing more than 300,000 yuan must be well designed, powerful, and maneuverable, but that price is no longer within the reach of ordinary people.
There may even be a price increase to buy it.
Don't doubt the authenticity of this matter. Many people like to use popular models that require a price increase to show their status. In fact, what they are showing off is not the car, but their ability to buy the car.
There is no doubt that both Xinghan 002 and Polestar S are "pragmatists" in nature. From their pricing, it can be seen that the price/performance ratio is very high, including the Xinghan 001, which is also extremely cost-effective.
But there is still the same problem. Xinghan 001 only sells for 185,800 yuan. Some consumers think that their price is too low and not worthy of their status.
That is to say, there is no face to be driven out.
So they would rather call Xinghan 001 "will-o'-the-wisp".
I'm afraid they've never driven it.
This does not prevent them from slandering.
Chen Zifan doesn't care, it's just a matter of selling a few fewer cars. Although most Chinese consumers have not yet formed a correct concept of car consumption, he does not believe that everyone only cares about the brand and feelings.
Normal consumers definitely account for the majority.
Otherwise, Haval H6 would not be called the "national car". What a coincidence, Chen Zifan actually test-drove the Haval H6, which became popular shortly after it was launched. To be honest, you can feel all kinds of peculiar smells as soon as you get in. .
Plastic smell, formaldehyde smell...
Fortunately, these peculiar smells are only found in new cars. They will disappear on their own after being driven for a while. Moreover, the engine is very durable and will not break down after being driven for N years.
They say Honda is durable, and so is the H6!
One of the purposes of the emergence of Xinghan 002 and Polestar S is to replace the status of Haval H6. Therefore, in the process of designing them, they are designed for "durability", "space" and "comfort".
The rest is appearance and function.
After some introduction by the engineers, they also understood that Xinghan 002 uses the chassis of Xinghan 001, Polestar S uses the chassis of Polestar X, and Polestar A also uses the same chassis, but what does it matter?
Is the car okay?
Besides, their chassis isn’t bad either…
At the same time, they also understood what an SUV is. Simply put, it is a large car with improved space, comfort, and passability. It also has a new design language and looks very grand!
Of course, the purpose of calling Yang Zhirong and his team of engineers here this time was not to see the design. The key point is to implement the design. What follows is a series of personnel arrangements, job divisions, etc. ~
