Chen Zifan briefly checked the order information in the background. The first batch of orders for Xinghan 004 has reached 23,658 units. It is no problem to process this batch of orders with the total production capacity of Xinghan Automobile Factory, but...
There isn’t much production capacity allocated to Xinghan 004!
Fortunately, the public relations team of Xinghan Zhixing is currently top-notch among domestic automobile manufacturers. It is not easy to deal with a simple order issue. It is nothing more than asking users to wait a few more days for the car, then compensating with some small gifts, and giving free maintenance several times. , and then increase the hype.
Not only will the reputation and sales of Xinghan 004 not be affected because the order cannot be delivered on time, but it will also create a picture for consumers that Xinghan 004 is a popular car and even an entry-level sports car.
In fact, Chen Zifan ignored several important factors. Xinghan 002 is an SUV. The SUV market is still in the development stage. Even if the SUV model has such advantages, it is still a bit difficult to hit the sedan market in a short period of time, not to mention it is Taipower. car.
Xinghan 004 is completely different. In terms of space, it is actually no smaller than an ordinary A-class sedan, and is only slightly smaller than Xinghan 001, an A-class coupe owned by Xinghan Zhixing. But in terms of appearance and repeatability... Xinghan 001 can't catch up even if he tries to flatter him.
Moreover, the current stage is the incremental stage of the Chinese automobile market. Entry-level sports cars are inherently more playful. Considering all things considered, a large number of car owners who originally wanted to buy Xinghan 001 and Xinghan 002 turned around and invested in Xinghan 004. In a warm embrace.
Coupled with Xinghan Zhixing's current "domestic only" brand power, it is not surprising that orders have exploded. Compared with handling order issues, Chen Zifan is more concerned about the market feedback of several vehicles, including Xinghan OTO's electric motorcycles.
Since the last appearance of Xinghan 009, Xinghan OTO's direct-operated store plan has begun. First, it starts from municipalities and provincial capital cities. There are three large-scale direct-operated stores in first-tier cities such as Jingcheng and Haicheng, as well as dealers. Authorized stores cooperating with merchants…
As well as online channels supported by Star Express, the sales growth of Xinghan OTO's electric motorcycles is also very exaggerated. After all, this is already a "high-end electric motorcycle."
No matter how good a traditional fuel motorcycle is, even if it uses a four-cylinder engine from the four major Japanese manufacturers, or a popular model from Haojue, which is famous for its quality and engine running quality, the running smoothness will still be inferior. The electric massage rubs against the ground.
Innate advantages are not something to be boasted about~
Anyone who has ridden both types of motorcycles can easily feel that if a fuel motorcycle reaches the ceiling level, it will be rated as "comparable to an electric motorcycle". Of course, the consequences of an electric motorcycle being too smooth will be It is easy to feel the good and bad of other things.
Such as frame, shock absorption, brakes...
When a fuel motorcycle vibrates, it is not easy to feel the shock absorption even if it is rubbish, but electric motorcycles are different. Once the accessories are slightly off, you can feel it immediately.
This is also the main difference between low-end electric mobility vehicles and high-end electric motorcycles. It is not only reflected in the motor and battery. General manufacturers may not notice the difference between the two and will build electric motorcycles according to traditional manufacturing thinking.
But how could Chen Zifan, who is a maniac about details, not notice it? He hopes to make every product of Stardust Technology and Xinghan Zhixing into a "high-quality product", and he has to pay attention to the details. However, the high-end accessories on the market are lacking and are far less abundant than they would be more than ten years later.
Therefore, Chen Zifan could only do it by himself, from motors, batteries to shock absorbers, calipers, and upper pumps. They were either produced by direct subsidiaries of Stardust Technology, or were developed and produced by Stardust Technology investing heavily in other companies.
By the way, many technologies from Chen Zifan [Stardust Technology] were put into use in advance. One subsidiary even developed electronic air suspension, but its practicality in electric motorcycles is average, and the product is not yet complete. , I didn’t use it as an accessory.
While other manufacturers are still using imported accessories as the selling point of their products, Xinghan Zhixing has embarked on the road of independent one-stop production of motorcycles and cars.
The advantage is that once successful, Xinghanzhi will become the absolute king in the field of new energy. The disadvantage is that it is too difficult and the early profit rate is a bit too low.
or
With the electronic products of Stardust Technology as the endorsement, how could Xinghan Zhixing dare to set such a low price? A new energy vehicle worth RMB 200,000 will only cost around RMB 20,000 when it comes to Xinghan Zhixing.
Which car manufacturer can be so miserable?
Look at those imported cars. Once they come to Huaxia, they can easily make hundreds of thousands of profits. There are also a bunch of fans who increase the price to buy them. Look at Xinghan Zhixing... ugh~
However, Chen Zifan will not let this affect his mentality. What he wants is not these things, and even if he wants it, just a domestic BUFF is not that easy to get, unless he plays a trick on Chen Cang and builds a new brand overseas. Domestic cutting of leeks.
Otherwise, we can only develop according to the existing plan.
Regarding Xinghan OTO's electric motorcycles, as long as each province can establish a few stable large-scale direct-operated stores, and cooperate with some powerful motorcycle dealers to open authorized stores, offline sales will soon increase.
In this way, I am afraid that in ten years’ time the motorcycle brands that Chen Zifan remembers will be hard to come by, such as Excelle, Dongfeng, Benda, etc. Ten years is enough time for Xinghan OTO to improve the product strength of electric motorcycles to a very terrifying level. , where is there any way for motorcycles to survive?
Chen Zifan opened Xinghan OTO's mobile APP and clicked on the dealer inquiry page. First- and second-tier cities have been covered. With several new products, sales will begin to increase once spring next year.
Why not now?
In the middle of winter.
How many cyclists are there who are anti-freeze?
If I had a choice, I would definitely drive in winter!
While the layout of Xinghan Automobile and Electric Motorcycles continued, Chen Zifan did not forget what the main business of Stardust Technology was. Before the Spring Festival in 2010, Stardust Technology had one of its most important products - Stardust Notebook.
It is scheduled to be released on December 22nd.
Taking advantage of the rising popularity of Xinghan 002, Xinghan 004 and other models, Stardust Technology’s official account also began to release news, saying that Stardust Technology’s first “unknown architecture” PC CPU will be released before January. This is real. It shocked many manufacturers.
No one expected Stardust Technology to move so fast. This CPU was just unveiled at the technology summit some time ago, and it was released before the end of the year? There may have been many people who were skeptical before, but now...
Everyone knows that Stardust Technology has this capability.
The most uncomfortable thing is Intel. China is one of Intel's main markets. Who knows if Stardust Technology's PC CPU comes out, whether China's local brands will choose Stardust CPU? Who knows if there is anything else behind Stardust Technology, such as an operating system?
Not only did NVIDIA and AD have no sense of crisis, the main person in charge also publicly stated in a subsequent interview with reporters: "NVIDIA/AD does not rule out the possibility of cooperation with Stardust Technology in the future..."
This sentence is very level.
There is neither confirmation nor denial, leaving room for many people to imagine. Seeing this, some other international graphics card manufacturers have also expressed that if Stardust Technology's CPU is attractive enough, they will also consider it. Cooperate with Stardust Technology.
Little did they know that Chen Zifan had already started developing his own graphics card at the base of Changhe Chip Engineering. December 22 would not only be as simple as releasing a PC-side CPU, but a real PC-side product.
The completion rate of the Stardust notebook is extremely close to 99%. There is no problem with the hardware. After all, this is Stardust Technology’s specialty. Not to mention the software, which can be upgraded at any time.
However, there is very little news about Stardust notebooks. Even the loyal Stardust users in the Stardust community have not guessed it, or they did not expect it to happen so quickly. They are still discussing around the CPU:
"I don't know how Stardust Technology's CPU is. I just built the console last month, so I should wait."
"I think there should be no problem. Isn't the chip on the Stardust mobile phone very stable? Moreover, Stardust Technology has its own production line and can conduct testing at any time."
"right!"
"But isn't the time too short?"
"Why are you in such a hurry! Give it a good polish!"
"I'm not very optimistic about it, because mobile phone chips are different from computer CPUs. Despite what Stardust Technology says, I don't believe it won't have problems with such a complex architecture, and the compatibility is unknown!"
"Yes! Can it be paired with indos?"
"It might work?"
"..."
Since we are preparing to enter the PC field and start with the CPU, it is certainly not a problem to adapt to indos. Besides, a batch of indos have been analyzed by [Stardust Technology]. Is there anything that cannot be adapted? But the most suitable one is definitely Stardust OS.
Chen Zifan originally imagined that the PC version of Stardust OS would be similar to the later in10 and in11, but the actual result was more like acOS. This really gave him a headache for a while, because he did not want to be labeled as a copycat acOS by some people. Tag of.
After all, Apple was decades earlier.
Taking advantage of the last half month, no, I should say it started a month ago, the team responsible for the PC version of Stardust OS started from the UI interface and changed a completely different style to make Stardust OS PC The version line has its own set of style and operating logic.
Different from indos and acOS, it is very easy to get started, and the design of the UI interface is even more pleasing to the eye. Combined with the exquisite appearance of the Stardust notebook, the super high appearance and texture...
The next hot product has been booked in advance.
What?
Isn’t winter the peak sales season for laptops?
Stardust Technology said it does not believe in this evil.
In fact, Chen Zifan didn't think about anything hot or not at all at the time. He planned more awesome products at next year's Stardust launch conference, so the current Stardust notebook can only be aggrieved as a thin and light notebook.
Not that it's bad.
Before the release of the Stardust Notebook, there was only one final piece of work left: the naming of the product.
