Several new products in the plan are already very close to mass production, and they only need some adjustments in details. This is only because the requirements of "Detail Maniac" Chen Zifan are too high. As long as these products are made by other manufacturers, let alone wait until In June, it can be released now.
But Chen Zifan can't do it. He has very high requirements.
In particular, the Stardust digital series mobile phones, the flagship product of Stardust Technology, must do well in all aspects.
Even the card pins were designed by Chen Zifan based on the Stardust logo, and even the packaging box can match most gift boxes on the market. You can imagine how good the details are.
People only know that Stardust Technology relied on "smartphones" in the year it emerged, but Chen Zifan always believed that the emergence of "smartphones" only gave Stardust Technology an opportunity to change the world. He seized this opportunity and has been Keeping it up is the hardest part.
Just look at how many manufacturers were fighting in the first few years when smartphones first appeared. Even Apple did not dare to take it lightly and has been continuously improving its product strength, let alone Stardust Technology, which is carrying "domestic BUFF"?
Of course, Chen Zifan will not miss any opportunity to enhance his brand power. Domestic? What happened to domestic production?
Who says that domestic brands come with low-end attributes?
Chen Zifan doesn't know about other brands, but Stardust Technology not only involves others but also involves itself. In the process of improving product strength, it also has to find ways to involve the brand.
Because the brand itself is part of the product strength, such as "BBA" in the automotive field: BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi. How many people will see hundreds of thousands of three-cylinder engines for cars, and many people don't even know the model. They I can only see what the car logo is.
"Look at that kid from so-and-so's family. He's driving a XX. He's really getting ahead of himself. Let me tell you..."
Under such circumstances, let’s talk to these consumers about which car has better configurations, which car has no common faults, and which car has cheap and useful accessories? This is brand power.
Chen Zifan’s goal from the beginning was to establish a foothold in the high-end field. Stardust 1 could have set an exaggerated, seemingly “high-end” price, but this was very difficult. Why would people recognize a copycat factory?
Why should we recognize a domestic brand?
This can only be achieved by continuous accumulation!
Fortunately, Stardust Technology has gone through the "three-generation strategy" and has successfully increased sales and market. Now all Chen Zifan has to do is to carry out a wave of price impact on the basis of further improving product strength.
After all, it hasn’t been updated in two years~
A major upgrade is inevitable.
Needless to say about the price, Stardust 4 is priced at 4,999 and will definitely cause dissatisfaction among some consumers, but these dissatisfied voices are completely worthless in the face of the absolute product power and uniqueness. It can be said that Stardust Technology’s products are expensive. But you can’t say it’s not worth the price!
Moreover, other domestic brands have also emerged one after another and began to specialize in cost-effective models in the 1,000 to 3,000 range. There is no need to continue to compete with them.
They will not have any impact on Stardust Technology, because the two are not on the same track at all.
The most important thing is that many of the technologies they use come from Stardust Technology, and some of them are invested and owned by Stardust Technology, which is equivalent to half of the sub-brands of Stardust Technology. All the money in the market goes to Stardust Technology. Got it.
Therefore, there is no product on the market that can compete with Stardust 4 and Stardust 4+. However, the only price increases this year may be mobile phones. Since tablets, smart watches and other products are just regular updates, even if there is a price increase, the magnitude will be small. It will be as big as a mobile phone.
In the final analysis, no matter how high-end a high-end product is, it cannot be divorced from consumers. Chen Zifan has never seen a high-end brand with a price takeoff that can achieve such high sales, including Apple. The majority of its subsequent sales were not provided by pro, pro max and other models. Yes, but the standard version. The three generations are in the same frame as the standard version + se.
Why did Apple release the SE series? Isn’t it just to lower the threshold? We have to rely on the big market.
As soon as Stardust Technology fully resumed work, the official side sent a team to contact Chen Zifan's R&D team for the purpose of air charging technology.
The impact of this technology is really huge.
Chen Zifan is too lazy to care about what the official plans to do with air charging technology. It is not a wise choice to care about everything and want to know everything. He is only responsible for making products and only cares about the completion of his own products.
The team responsible for the Stardust-Yaopole product is also one of those who "voluntarily work overtime" during the Spring Festival. In fact, the time is enough even if they don't work overtime, but compared to having a New Year full of worries, they prefer to double the time during the Spring Festival. Salary income, bonuses and a month-long vacation after the project is completed, these are the most enjoyable~
Chen Zifan was also paying close attention to its progress. After hearing that the final version of Stardust-Yaobao's air charger was released, he went directly to the factory to see it for himself without waiting for his subordinates to send him samples.
It was just as he expected——
The final version of the air charger is still very large in size. Its length, width and height are 42×42×60, which is already larger than the speakers that come with many home desktops. However, the speakers are just big in size. They are not only big, but also Heavy.
Have you ever seen a charger weighing nearly 20 pounds?
After all, what is inside is not an ordinary thing. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a military-grade product. Its actual effect is also very powerful. It can charge electronic products with a total power of 300W in a room of 25 square meters. The actual range of influence reaches The diameter is about 7 meters.
What is this concept?
Take Stardust-Yaobao as an example. The maximum air-to-air charging power of a Stardust-Yaobao is only 20W. In other words, in theory, only one air-to-air charger is needed to charge 15 mobile phones in a room. Charging at the same time, even if the energy loss is large, it is no problem to charge 10 mobile phones, but who would charge 10 mobile phones at once?
Yes, most people don't need it.
But this is only part of Chen Zifan's plan. He is not afraid that consumers will have enough, but he is afraid that there will not be enough.
Stardust Technology will develop more products around air chargers in the future. Consumers who have bought Stardust Yaobo and air chargers have a high probability of buying new products because they are really convenient. .
Within a certain range, it is equivalent to unlimited battery life, especially when used in office situations.
If this technology can be used in PC products, it will greatly increase office space utilization.
Of course, Stardust-Obsola can not only be charged through the air, but also through conventional charging methods. Its wired charging power is the same as Stardust 4 and Stardust 4+, reaching 50W, and the wireless charging power is also 50W, but It is slower than the wired 50W.
Because the energy loss during the wireless charging process is too great, it is difficult to achieve full 50W fast charging. The loss of air charging is even greater, and the utilization rate may only be 80 to 85%, but these are not important in the face of convenience.
There is another critical issue with air charging, and that is safety. It uses a lot of radar technology. If this kind of thing cannot ensure safety, it can easily cause permanent and irreversible damage to the human body. The risk is very high.
Fortunately, Chen Zifan used [Stardust Technology] to do [Synthetic Creation] countless times, and he did not use it until he reached a nearly perfect technology. There is no problem in terms of safety. What Chen Zifan is worried about is not that his product is unsafe. Instead, they are maliciously targeted by people with good intentions and promote some theories that are inconsistent with reality.
For example, some people later claimed that routers would cause harm to pregnant women and babies, so they forced their neighbors to turn off their WiFi. There were many people who believed in similar theories. Chen Zifan could not require everyone to understand professional knowledge, as long as these theories could not be publicized.
It doesn’t matter if you spread it on a small scale...
It doesn’t affect the overall situation anyway.
Compared with Chen Zifan's "little fight", the idea of the team sent by the official is much more radical, because the backers behind Stardust Technology are already very radical, otherwise they would not be so supportive of Stardust Technology, what do you want? What's there, even highways are arranged.
Stardust Technology has lived up to its trust and indeed has something. If Chen Zifan is still making products, then the official team sent this time is already considering whether it can use air charging technology to build "super power stations" in the city. Air charging technology is used in "super power stations" to solve the electricity consumption of millions of people in one go.
It's like a crazy idea...
The key is that the feasibility is really not low!
Because there is so much room for improvement in the air charging technology proposed by Chen Zifan, if a giant city with a "super power station" could really be built, it is difficult to imagine what kind of scene it would be and what kind of grand occasion it would be.
Everyone living in this city, whether they are using mobile phones, computers, or driving new energy vehicles, as long as there is electricity and the device is equipped with an air charging receiver, it is equivalent to unlimited battery life, which is a pity. It's still not possible under current conditions.
Cities not only have domestic electricity, but also industrial electricity, etc. If we want to solve such a huge electricity problem, we have to add some hard work to the "super power station", such as reducing energy loss through technology and new materials. Then take out some of the power generation technologies in the [Stardust Blueprint], these are not easy to achieve.
At least it's still early~
But as long as the government wants to do it, Chen Zifan doesn't mind adding fuel to the fire. He wants to see what the "future" city will look like in advance more than anyone else.
the other side--
Li Yuan, the current general manager of Xinghan Zhixing, came to see Chen Zifan. As soon as they met, he handed him a document and began to talk about the current situation:
"The controversy over Xinghan 002 and Xinghan 004 is getting smaller and smaller. We have promoted the concept of SUVs. The entry-level new energy sports cars are no longer as controversial as before, and sales have begun to slowly increase."
Chen Zifan nodded. Speaking of which, he prepared both cars. As an SUV model, Xinghan 002 cannot have bad sales in the Chinese market. However, Xinghan 004 was criticized by countless consumers as soon as it came out. What's wrong with this car?
On the contrary, Xinghan 004 is completely fine in terms of control feeling and appearance configuration. In the end, what people criticize is that it is sold too cheaply.
Think about it, what is a sports car?
It is an existence that can only be seen often in film and television works, and it makes people excited to see it once in reality. It is a symbol of identity, status, and money!
Now it only sells for about 200,000?
What are you doing?
When you drive such a cheap sports car, do you have the nerve to tell others that you are driving a sports car? Don't you think it's embarrassing?
Chen Zifan understands their feelings very well. It's like when people see a beautiful woman with a face, body and temperament comparable to that of a celebrity. When they are fantasizing about her high education and impressive background, they suddenly realize that she only needs four figures to have it. It's... really hard to accept.
But you finally accepted it, right?
Chen Zifan said:
"How should I put it...when a relatively new product appears, the first reaction of most consumers is to reject it rather than accept it, just like when Stardust 1 appeared back then. How many people attacked it at that time?"
Li Yuan nodded. Indeed, Stardust 1 sold very well that year, but it was also very controversial.
It is also difficult for people to accept that their lives are tied to mobile phones, but by the time of Stardust 3, smartphones have been promoted as a necessity of life. Without smartphones, it seems that they will be derailed by the times.
