Chapter 192 Stardust - Yao Soul(1/2)
Author: Xing···Chen
On the surface, the selection of "new first-tier" cities does not mean much. Isn't it just a title? It's just a name~
But in fact this is not the case. It means that some of the key resources will be tilted towards these five cities in the future, and the "new first-tier" cities will also become the main cities where many young people choose to work.
The Stardust press conference was originally scheduled for June, and one of its purposes was to capture the high school student market. According to Chen Zifan's research, the vast majority of parents will not buy mobile phones for their children as soon as the college entrance examination is over.
They usually wait until their results come out before making a choice. Needless to say, if their results are good, a considerable number of them will repeat a year if their results are bad.
There are still some students who have no hope of re-study, so why should I buy a mobile phone? But after all, they are children at home, and as long as they have needs, they will be satisfied.
In addition, summer vacation is always a hot sales season for electronic products. As soon as new products are hyped, sales can be easily increased. Just like now, Stardust Mall and the official website received hundreds of thousands of orders within one day after the press conference. Stardust
Everyone at Chen Express is almost crazy busy.
But now...
The influence of Stardust Technology has exceeded Chen Zifan's initial expectations. The Stardust conference is not just a product launch. Once the name of a "new first-tier" city is listed, there will be a wave of large-scale population migration.
Especially those fresh graduates.
Who doesn’t know that Haicheng’s salary level is high?
There is also relatively complete infrastructure…
and future development potential.
These will not only affect the choices of fresh graduates, but also affect countless low-level workers, and even affect the college entrance examination enrollment. Last year, the number and quality of Haicheng's enrollment set a new record.
I'm afraid it will be even more so this year.
But these are things that Haicheng officials have to solve. Stardust Technology does not need to worry too much. In contrast, Chen Zifan is more concerned about the next PY transaction in Haicheng→Shacheng. There is also a super market opposite!
Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the electronic products of Stardust Technology. Zhao Wushang will arrange to build Stardust direct-operated stores and after-sales centers in Shacheng by district. Increasing sales is the second priority, and further enhancing brand power is the next focus.
Smartphones, tablets and other products have long been sold all over the country, and there is no need to focus on each city one by one as in the beginning.
But new energy vehicles are not good. They need to cooperate with public charging piles so that charging stations can be quickly promoted. It just so happens that Shacheng officials also intend to comprehensively popularize new energy charging piles. Isn’t this a benefit delivered to your doorstep?
Moreover, Shacheng has an advantage that Haicheng does not have, that is, its geographical location has the conditions to become a transportation hub. Then Shacheng can be used as a springboard to radiate to a larger area in North China.
After a brief analysis, Chen Zifan made a call to Li Yuan: "Next, we can allocate some resources to Shacheng, and then notify Yang Zhirong to let Polestar Automobile increase some production capacity to prepare in advance.
The development progress of new cars must also be fast!
Also, there may be official orders within a month, and some production capacity must be allocated in advance..."
Official orders are mainly concentrated on Xinghan 009. Haicheng officials have spent a lot of money to promote new energy products. They have already expressed their intention to change transportation. As soon as Xinghan 001 and Xinghan 009 are released, you don’t have to think about what happens next.
Get a new version.
However, this new version will not be for ordinary people. Taking orders will not do any harm to Xinghan Zhixing, and it can also be used to continue publicity.
For example, Dongfeng's state guest car, Qianjiang's police car, and Volkswagen's official car... It stands to reason that the style of Xinghan 001 is not suitable for official use. The design style is too avant-garde, too radical, and too high-profile.
Chen Zifan is not sure whether Haicheng officials will use Xinghan 001, but without Xinghan 001, there will be the next Pole Star A. The cost of Pole Star A is even lower, but it is too ordinary and not so distinctive.
Just need to wait a few days for news.
Chen Zifan believes that the probability of Xinghan 001 being selected is definitely higher. As for Polestar Motors, Yang Zhirong only needs to be responsible for bringing Polestar X to Shacheng in large quantities first, and it is best to prepare Polestar G as well.
If you want to change, just do the same as Haicheng and change the whole set!
At the same time, battery swapping stations specifically for operating vehicles must be found to improve efficiency (and make a fortune). The bus terminal in Haicheng has long used battery swapping stations, and Tuohai Travel has also built three battery swapping stations.
The three battery swap stations are not large in scale and are distributed in three directions in Haicheng. They are specially used to swap batteries for taxis. Together with the charging piles and charging stations all over Haicheng, they further improve the efficiency of operating vehicles.
After all, it’s an operating vehicle~
It's not like private property like those private cars, so it doesn't matter if you replace the battery.
Of course, taxis that can swap batteries were all later modified by Polestar Automobile Factory. Currently, this part of the business is not open to ordinary people.
The second half of this year may be a turning point in the development of battery swap stations, but Chen Zifan is still not optimistic about its future development prospects. It is okay for operating vehicles, but it is difficult for ordinary consumers to accept it.
Moreover, the charging speed of Xinghan Zhixing's new energy vehicles is generally less than 30 minutes. If it can be faster than about 10 minutes, with the solar charging of Xinghan 01, it will make no difference whether there is a battery swap station or not.
Xinghan Zhixing does not need Chen Zifan to worry too much in the future. Li Yuan and others are in charge. Within a month, they will re-elect a product manager who specializes in releasing products, so Chen Zifan does not need to be on the scene.
That is to say…
Just leave the regular products to them, and let Chen Zifan put the products that are more powerful and have greatly improved product capabilities at the annual Stardust conference to be released together with Stardust Technology's products, which can save a lot of time.
It is worth mentioning that after Chen Zifan's "life-threatening" operation at the press conference, all major media were crazy about publicity, and the single-day order volume of Xinghan 001 showed an explosive growth trend.
As long as there are no problems with product quality and quality control, in the family sedan market priced at RMB 150,000 to RMB 200,000, Xinghan 001 can easily overtake other competing fuel vehicles.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Chen Zifan finally continued to pay attention to the products of Stardust Technology. Needless to say, Stardust 3 and Stardust 3+, the sales of both mobile phones have been very high since last year.
Sales of tablets, Bluetooth headsets, and smartwatch three-piece sets have been growing steadily, and they have reached a small peak after the press conference.
Electronic paper books and drones are still in the stage of exploring the market, but the sales of the two have shown completely different trends. The sales of Stardust-Ink have been close to those of tablets in one day.
Stardust-Margin is still half-dead, and not many people actually buy it.
A Stardust user also specifically said this in the Stardust community: "If you reach my age, you will find that 99% of your needs are unnecessary, and you will not easily have the desire to buy..."
Chen Zifan clicked it and took a look, oh~
38 years old!
As expected, it was said by a middle-aged man.
It may be a bit miserable, but this is the life of many people. It has nothing to do with whether Stardust Technology's products are good or not. Who doesn't want to live a good life?
It still has something to do with financial ability.
Chen Zifan is determined to change this situation, but Stardust Technology is just a technology company and there is not much he can do. He can only transform the city when Stardust Technology makes huge profits and has the ability.
Nothing else can be done...
After closing the Stardust community, the next thing Chen Zifan has to consider is the next step for Stardust Technology. He still starts with products, but air charging of the Stardust 4 series has been difficult until now.
"How to use it..."
Since one person couldn't make up his mind, he happened to call the top management of Stardust Technology over for a high-level meeting to determine the follow-up development matters.
After receiving the notice, the top management of Stardust Technology also acted very quickly, focusing on efficiency!
Except for those who were far away, the rest all arrived within an hour. Chen Zifan counted a little and found that there were a total of 16 people present. They are currently the head core of Stardust Technology and are responsible for the stability of various tasks.
If anything, they are about half a level lower than Zhao Wushang, Wang Jinli and others. In actual operation of the company, this difference is negligible.
Zhao Wushang didn't come either. He had just arranged other things, so it would be inappropriate to call him over again. Besides, he never put forward any opinions of his own, unless it was a management issue, because his skills were all focused on management.
Chen Zifan said straight to the point:
"One of the dilemmas we are currently facing is whether we should fully promote air-to-air charging technology in next year's products? Judging from the current research and development progress, we will be able to fully launch mass production in October..."
The senior executives immediately looked at each other. They all have very strong professional abilities. Naturally, they also understand what air charging means. They also know how strong Stardust Technology’s current R&D strength is after it was separated into subsidiaries. Even they have the guts.
The feeling of dreaming.
Five years ago, they were still using Nokia push-button phones. Five years later... Nokia is breathing its last breath. Stardust Technology's products are so powerful that they are a bit beyond the standard. They have also discussed this issue privately. It just so happens that today's event
If you have the opportunity, you can say:
"Dr. Chen, I think the risk of directly promoting air charging next year is too great. This risk is not a technical problem. We have all been exposed to this technology and know that it is safe and reliable.
The risk I'm talking about comes from the market. It takes time for consumers to accept a certain product or technology. As far as I know, there are still many consumers who are biased against smartphones. This is really difficult to change.
Official mobile payment is also being promoted, as well as new energy vehicles... Just promoting air charging is fine, but I think we are not ready for the follow-up. Promoting it will cause a chain reaction.
The application of air charging to Stardust 4 series products means that all wired products before Stardust 3 will be eliminated in a short period of time, including high-power fast charging on our new energy vehicles!
We have not taken corresponding countermeasures, so I always believe that to promote air charging technology, we must at least wait until Stardust Technology’s position is completely stabilized and charging facilities are popularized before considering it!”
"Have you forgotten 3G? Nowadays, air charging is equivalent to 4G, and wired charging is equivalent to 3G. It will be disrupted if it is interrupted! Instead of dilly-dallying and hesitating, it is better to directly change the existing pattern!"
"Our research and development of air-to-air charging can't be in vain! This year we even released a concept promotional video. We also promoted this concept when Super USB first came out. We will definitely have to give an explanation next year."
"There is still an unresolved problem. Currently, the official government does not have relatively complete management regulations for air charging technology. This has a great impact on practical applications. We still need to fight for it."
"I don't think the two are necessarily either/or. Don't 3G and 4G coexist well now? The elimination of 3G is an inevitable trend in history, but this does not mean that its initial appearance is meaningless!"
"So what do you mean?"
“We can restart Stardust-Yaobao, apply air-to-air charging to this mobile phone, and further increase the price, setting it at 19,999 per unit. This will not only release the air-to-air charging technology, but will not cause any harm to our basic market.
The impact is simply killing two birds with one stone!”
"Isn't the case of Stardust-Yaopo abandoned?"
“It doesn’t have to be a scrapped case!”
"Don't forget that we also have wired fast charging technology! Stardust New Energy has developed a dual-core battery that can achieve 100W charging power! Unfortunately, it will cause greater damage to the battery..."
"50W is enough!"
"Stardust Factory also has ultrasonic fingerprint recognition technology, which can be used to replace the optical fingerprint recognition on Stardust 3+. Judging from experimental data, ultrasonic fingerprint unlocking is faster and more accurate!"
“Star Vision’s high-refresh screen is basically no problem! One point we need to consider at present is that compared to 60hz, 90hz high-refresh screen does not have an intuitive improvement to the naked eye. 120hz matches our screen with a resolution close to 2k, and the battery life is a bit
I can’t stand it…”
