As far as Chen Zifan knows, the occupancy rate of the employee housing promised by Ms. Dong will be very low until 2022. A few thousand units is really a drop in the bucket for Gree's more than 100,000 employees. Even if there are few staff rooms, there are not even a few people. It's really pathetic to be able to live there...
However, this kind of thing cannot be completely blamed on Miss Dong. She is indeed a bit too broad. Except for cheaters like Chen Zifan, there are really not many companies in the world that can provide their employees with enough room points.
Later, under the siege of Midea, Supor and other brands, Gree, which lost a certain market position, became even more impossible to achieve. The wonderful employee benefits it once promised could only come to nothing in the end.
Chen Zifan doesn't pay too much attention to what other companies are doing at the moment. The emergence of Stardust Technology has already changed the original historical trajectory. Some companies that originally survived into the future have even failed to survive.
Chen Zifan now has no time to worry about what is available and what is not. The mass production of Stardust notebooks has entered a critical stage. A batch with a heavy workload requires a lot of manpower to test not only the CPU and system, but also the design of the packaging box. Four or five cases were dismissed.
In order to reflect the extreme "lightness" and "thinness" of the Stardust notebook, its packaging box was also designed in this direction. However, because it is too thin and light, its power adapter and charging cable cannot be accommodated.
Some cadres also suggested to Chen Zifan:
"How about we just cancel the power adapter or package it separately! Anyway, the fast charging technology used in Stardust notebooks is the same as that in Stardust mobile phones..."
Chen Zifan was shocked at that time.
What? Cancel the power adapter?
How can this be done!
The 3.5 headphone jack was canceled that year, firstly for popularity, secondly to increase the sense of quality, and thirdly to increase the sales of Bluetooth headsets. By the way, it could also show off the interconnection adaptation between Stardust OS and its own Bluetooth headsets.
What's going on now?
Abandoning the charger simply for the box?
With the current size and influence of Stardust Technology, even if he did this, Chen Zifan felt that nothing would happen, but this went against his original intention.
As a last resort, Chen Zifan had no choice but to take action himself and extracted some more advanced metal material technology and lightweight technology from [Stardust Technology] to make the power adapter of the Stardust notebook 37% smaller.
The wire of the charging cable has also been newly designed. At least when you take it out, it will not make people think it is a cheap product. Chen Zifan is still very pursuing in this regard. He will not castrate his products.
Neither does covert castration.
Many brands of products like brightening and darkening, such as Oppo’s own 65 power adapter and the 67 power adapter in the industry chain. It sounds like the latter has 2 more, but in actual use, both the texture and charging speed of the power adapter are not as good as the former. .
Sometimes you can indeed make a lot of money by changing your thinking, but there is more than just making money in the world.
There are also stubborn and persistent people...
The new packaging box of the Stardust Notebook has successfully put the power adapter into the packaging box on the premise that the size of the power adapter has been reduced. It is indeed not as compact and exquisite as expected, but it is amazing compared to similar products.
All that remains is to continue optimizing the PC version of Stardust OS, and other work is also progressing steadily, such as the application of air charging technology.
But these things are not so urgent, and they do not need to be rushed to the end of the year. Stardust 3, Stardust 3+ and other products have not yet exhausted their power so quickly. If Stardust Technology does not take action, they will have no problem persisting for another two years.
What Chen Zifan is thinking now is, should Stardust Notebook give it a try before the Spring Festival?
It stands to reason that it is most appropriate to release laptops before and after the college entrance examination, because prospective college students or college students will always find various reasons to buy a laptop (provided they have money).
One thing to consider is that the laptop we are preparing now is a thin and light notebook. Even if the energy consumption ratio of Stardust Technology's ShenGong generation CPU is very good, its performance will not be very strong if it pursues thinness and lightness too much.
If it is placed next year
talk…
Don’t forget that there is also a graphics card under testing in the Changhe chip project. It is expected to complete the packaging test in early March next year. Chen Zifan can completely derive all-round laptops and high-performance laptops (gaming laptops) based on the Shengong first-generation CPU and graphics card. Waiting for new products.
In fact, he was preparing to do just that.
Compared with Stardust Technology's first PC product, self-developed CPU and graphics cards will be of greater significance.
New cars from Xinghan Zhixing, Xinghan OTO, and Polestar Motors will be released soon on December 1. Although the Stardust notebook is not the same type of product as them, it will stagger the peak of popularity as much as possible. It is best to choose it on December 15 Between the 31st and the 31st, sales can still surge.
If it is placed in January next year, there will be New Year's Day, Spring Festival, and Lantern Festival...the marketing effect will be greatly reduced, unless Chen Zifan can replace several products planned to be advertised on the Spring Festival evening with Stardust notebooks.
But this is obviously impossible.
After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Zifan was just about to hand over the next work to Zhao Wushang, when he received the news that Wang Jinli was planning to return to China next week. When Zhao Wushang heard this, he must find something to do for the newly returned man!
By the way, he also filed a lawsuit against Wang Jinli:
"Dr. Chen, you don't know that Mr. Wang is known as a cool person abroad. Every day he is either partying or kicking, or on the way to partying, he hugs and hugs all foreign girls! Yesterday, he was He told me that he had gained more than ten pounds, and finding something to do for him was also for his health..."
d!
The labor and management at the head office are almost exhausted, but you are enjoying yourself abroad? There must be sanctions!
Chen Zifan was a little confused:
"I do not know how?"
When Zhao Wushang heard this, he immediately pretended to be helpless: "Ah, Mr. Wang has blocked your circle of friends."
Chen Zifan:......
What the hell! ?
Zhao Wushang took out his cell phone and showed it to him. He immediately couldn't bear it anymore. The work that originally belonged to Zhao Wushang was decisively assigned to Wang Jinli. Anyway, there was still some time, so the notebook could be marketed half a month in advance.
At the same time, Chen Zifan also noticed something. The emergence of mobile payment has once again brought the incomplete WeChat into play. According to the public data, the number of registered users of WeChat is close to 50% of QQ.
In no more than two years at most, the number of WeChat users is likely to remain the same or even surpass it.
The work groups of many companies have also moved from the Kuokou camp to the WeChat camp. This is the power of financial attributes. Of course, now that the situation has developed to this extent, Chen Zifan will not specifically intervene.
The mobile payment solution he originally proposed was a bit idealistic. It's not that it can't be realized, but that method requires a strong hardware foundation, and Stardust Technology's existing products can't do that.
If you do it forcefully, it will cause the upper and lower parts to become disconnected...so letting the bullets fly for a while is the best option.
Wang Jinli never expected that he would start work the next day after returning home and having a refreshing meal. He would also be responsible for a brand new product, and even the press conference would be handed over to him to host.
He also had a certain understanding of the Stardust Notebook, but this was the first time he had actually seen the real thing. The texture and workmanship of the Stardust Notebook were within his expectations, and the level of sophistication was a bit beyond expectation. Apart from anything else, with this appearance, the Stardust Notebook was Notebook sales are unlikely to be bad.
Even if its CPU is just a piece of shit!
Obviously, the Stardust notebook is not just a fake, it is really capable. The measured data of Shengong CPU is already comparable to the level of mainstream manufacturers. The new Stardust OS can beat the current Indos in terms of look and feel.
And these days, many people can't even use genuine Indos, they still use the XP version, and the mold it comes with is extremely stretched. It's big plastic, very thick, and weighs five or six pounds, which is really not good.
Not to mention product performance.
It's okay if it works, but it's still far from easy to use.
There is only one problem that troubles Wang Jinli now:
"What should I call the notebook..."
He chose the release time for the winter solstice on December 22. It could be released earlier. However, Stardust OS still has a little progress to make, and he still has to leave half a month to a month for production, stocking, transportation, etc.
You can’t just release a new product and the production capacity can’t keep up, right? This is not in line with Stardust Technology’s consistent style.
However, it is the end of the year, and it is indeed not the peak sales season for notebook computers. After the product is released, word-of-mouth will ferment for a period of time. The real growth period of Stardust notebook will be after June next year. Taking advantage of this period, Wang Jinli also studied a few new car.
His next goal is to bring Stardust Technology's new energy vehicles to the international market. After all, new energy vehicles will definitely not be mainstream abroad, but it should be no problem to make a fortune.
Among the "three" manufacturers, the first to take action was naturally Polestar Motors. On November 30, Yang Zhirong held a simultaneous online and offline new product launch conference in Haicheng, and also rented the venue of Xinghai Driving School for People did test drives, and the press conference was also held there.
