Facts have proved that he is just a novice. Just because he has seen others playing chess does not mean that he can play chess himself.
At the moment when he lost the chess game, several uncles around him couldn't help but shook their heads and began to sigh:
"Hey, I lost."
"On the opposite side of the iron pulley, the more conservative way to break the formation is to ignore him, show your back-up camp first, and set up your own camp. Personally, I think being hit is the most stable start. You can advance, attack, retreat, or defend..."
"The opponent's opponent is really good, step by step, and very solid. Our side's strength is not as good..."
"It's okay, winning and losing is normal~"
Having said that, any onlooker with a little bit of discernment can see that the level of the two of them is not at the same level. If they play five or ten games, they will still lose with a high probability. It is better to find someone with the same level~
When he thought of this, an uncle couldn't help it. He took out his mobile phone and used the wifi to play Stardust chess. While playing, he interrupted: "Brother, wait a minute, you are playing well, I will play with you!"
It doesn’t matter who wins the chess game:
"Okay, I happen to be fine too, as long as it doesn't affect you getting off the bus. After all, the bus is pretty fast..."
"It's okay! We can add a friend first and wait until we have time to add friends later! By the way, you guys should also add one first. You should all be students, right?"
"yes!"
"right!"
"Isn't this a coincidence? There will be many opportunities for us to compete in the future! Let me, this stinky chess player, have a good time first. Don't worry, I won't take you a few minutes!"
"OK…"
The college student, who knew he was unbeatable, stopped asking for a fight. He originally wanted to try other functions of Stardust Chess, but a few old men next to him joined in and were watched playing chess, which made him feel a little embarrassed to continue playing:
"Ahem...How about you take the next one too?"
"We? We don't have mobile phones..."
"???"
"It's not that we don't have mobile phones, it's that we don't have smartphones. These things are too expensive, and I don't dare to buy cheap ones."
“You get what you pay for~ Who knows where corners are cut in cheap mobile phones? What if it breaks right after you buy it and you still can’t find a place to return it?”
"It's not worth buying a mobile phone just to play chess... It's better to go to the chess stall in front of our community!"
"Online chess is enough to check out, but physical wooden chess is more enjoyable to play!"
The two uncles looked more disdainful of smartphones than the other. They clasped their hands and raised their heads, as if they didn't need smartphones at all. Seeing this, the college student stopped saying anything and started playing by himself.
He didn't dare to find anyone to play with for the time being, because if a master showed up again... he couldn't afford to be hurt.
But this was just a small episode while he was riding the bus, and few people cared about it.
On the contrary, in the Stardust community, some Stardust users began to post complaints, which attracted many people to read:
“I don’t know what happened, but my 76-year-old grandfather suddenly took away my dad’s mobile phone today and said he wanted to play chess... I was still wondering what was going on, but now that I see this, I finally understand!
"
"Damn it! My old man doesn't even know how to watch TV, but he can play chess with his mobile phone quite smoothly. But even if I ask him to do something else with his mobile phone, he won't do it. He turns his mobile phone into a chess game machine!
"
Upon seeing this, many people said:
"It's exaggerated. Stardust chess is just a game. It's not to this level. The editor of the post can't write a decent story. It sounds too fake."
"Older people, even if you put a smartphone in front of them, they won't use it, because their outlook on life and life experience have made it difficult for them to accept new things. If you don't believe me, go to the countryside and see..."
"Not necessarily, it depends on whether I can impress them. My dad is sixty-three years old, and he said he was unwilling to buy him a smartphone. But after he got it, he had more fun than anyone else. He went out every day and took photos."
"This is true. I also believe that when you play chess on your mobile phone, the Stardust game is really good. The graphics are exquisite. This time it can be downloaded on all platforms, and it also lowers the entry threshold for players."
"My dad is a serious chess enthusiast and has been playing chess for nearly ten years, but he usually has to set aside time to play chess. Now that he is good, he can play at any time."
"Have you ever seen two old men sitting on a bench at the entrance of the park playing chess with their mobile phones? I actually saw it today, and here is a photo!"
"jpg."
The people who were questioning just now are now dumbfounded. This is too outrageous. Two old men wearing old age clothes and cloth shoes each have a smartphone and are sitting on stools playing chess online? The picture is too inconsistent...
It even looks a bit like it came out of P.
Who says the elderly can’t play with mobile phones?
Moreover, the messy chess tables in the park seem to be useless. Some chess tables are specially made of plastic shells and magnets for fear of people stealing the chess pieces. In fact, it is very troublesome to play.
Even for traditional chess tables, the kind without chess pieces, the usage rate is not even 1%. After all, not many people would specifically play chess sets on an outside chess board.
Some people may have tried it. Not only is it troublesome, but they can also be driven away at any time. "Too loud", "protecting the chess table", and "forbidden to play" can all be used as reasons, although these reasons are not reasonable...
But there is no way, this is the reality.
There are too many cases where garbage cans are not allowed to be placed, so instead of complaining about these things, it is better to find other ways to entertain yourself, such as Stardust games...
As soon as the entire platform was opened, Chen Zifan received a data report sent by Zhao Wushang from his beautiful secretary that day. It showed that the number of registered Stardust accounts increased by more than 2 million in one day, and the activity was extremely high.
And the subsequent new data not only did not decline, but also showed an upward trend.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Zifan increased his promotion efforts on Stardust Games. However, these Stardust accounts are all provided by Stardust Games and focus on games. They are not real Stardust OS users yet.
Stardust Chess and Go are just some of the promotion points. The most powerful game is Mirage. Some smartphone users with insufficient hardware performance finally realized the hardware gap at this moment.
For the same Mirage, using Stardust 3+, the image quality can be improved, the frame rate is full, and the detail experience is smooth, the body does not heat up, the power consumption is not high, and it can be plugged in for fast charging.
Charge while playing.
Stardust 3 is slightly inferior, but the gap with Stardust 3+ is not big. The main reason is that Dimensity 300 is holding it back, and its ultimate performance is not as powerful as Changhe 3.
Stardust 2 is a notch lower. You can only choose between image quality and frame rate. Needless to say, Stardust 1 is too stressful to run this kind of game, but it can be normal and smooth after lowering the image quality and frame rate.
to play.
What about other smartphones?
Take the newly released Meizu Note as an example. Its performance level is about 90% of Stardust 2, but other configurations cannot keep up, such as heat dissipation and charging speed.
Obviously the performance on paper is okay, but in the actual game, stuttering occurs frequently, the picture quality is reduced, and the frame rate is not much better, unless you are playing the stand-alone version.
How can such a result be satisfactory?
As a result, many Meizu Note users began to trash Meizu phones, but as for the product, we have to look at the actual selling price. The 799 Meizu Note is better than some 1399 and 1599 models from other mobile phone brands.
This is also one of the reasons why it is difficult to create a cost-effective model. It is difficult to launch a cost-effective model that caters to the mass market, but it has to focus on several cost-saving points, such as plastic middle frame, bracket...
In Chen Zifan’s impression, Redmi has often been criticized like this. The plastic middle frame has no texture, and the plastic stand does not feel good. However, there are not many products to choose from at the same price. If you want value for money, you have to give up something.
And according to the statistics of Stardust Technology, the more expensive the model, the higher the sales volume of the matching mobile phone case... Thanks to the official case of Stardust mobile phone, the appearance and quality are online. Otherwise, if you have a set of cases, what quality can you talk about?
Ceramic back cover, metal middle frame…
I can’t feel it!
However, later on, Redmi seemed to be targeted by the two major sub-brands of Oppo. Realme and OnePlus took turns to slap the big ears on several of Redmi's flagship models, forcing Mr. Lu to cut the prices of the products in advance.
.
Some consumers also said... When XX competed with Redmi, Redmi had already won. I don’t know where similar spiritual victory methods came from.
Don’t you feel a little overwhelmed when you don’t see it?
In the past, the two brothers were closely pursuing the sub-brand of Oppo, and later, IQOO from Vivo was eyeing it. This is not the end, because the two brands of Oppo and Vivo have also established a cost-effective series for making matryoshka doll machines.
But no matter which cost-effective product it is, there will always be various trade-offs in configuration, such as cameras, fast charging, screens... It seems like they all have 1.5k or 2k screens, but in fact the costs are completely different.
And it has to be said that the machine sea tactics are very useful when they have achieved a certain leading position. However, Stardust Technology is destined to have no chance with the machine sea tactics. What Chen Zifan wants is that every product of Stardust Technology is a high-quality product.
The same goes for Xinghan Zhixing's new energy vehicles, Xinghan 001, Xinghan 009... not to mention invincible at the same price, at least they should be one of the best models at the same price, rather than launching new products like crazy.
Of course, Chen Zifan will prepare all the products that need to be prepared. Currently, the limited editions of Stardust 3 or Stardust 3+ are the most popular online. The full set of Stardust-Olympic Star is too expensive, which has dissuaded too many consumers.
Why do you need so many limited editions?
Every time Chen Zifan opens the Stardust community, it’s all about Aite, with all kinds of comments:
"This is my zodiac year, so let's get a limited edition for the Year of the Ox! It's a ball~ It's best to have a bright red one!"
"@星dust科技,@陈子凡, if you can, open another vote! Why are you hiding it?"
"Director Chen! Have you seen our army of thousands of people urging new machines? I advise you to be more sensible!"
"This is my modified Xinghan mini. I suggest that I make a limited edition model that matches my car's style."
"I need Ultraman Tiga limited edition!"
"First come, first served! I came first..."
Chen Zifan:......
Hey! If you don’t come out, you won’t come out!
Is there a new version of Stardust 3 and Stardust 3+?
have!
Available in both models!
It's not a limited edition, it's a new version!
But it won’t be released now. Chen Zifan is considering several time nodes. One is to release the new versions of Stardust 3 and Stardust 3+ at this year’s Stardust conference together with Stardust-Dust Extreme, Margin and other products.
.
The second is to release it between September and December to create the last wave of popularity. After discussions at a high-level meeting, they are more inclined to choose the former and release the new version in the middle of the third and fourth generations of models.
Stardust Technology has always had a controversial plan within the company, which is to only release a new version of Stardust 3, replace it with Stardust Technology's own chip, and then change the color of the back cover to upgrade to 4G.
This plan was directly rejected by Chen Zifan. Just kidding, if this comes out, it will be a real backstab for old users, and what will happen to the subsequent Stardust 4?
Do you dare to buy the first product?
So the best option is to make a customized version of Stardust 3 or Stardust 3+ with a shell, maintain the original price and create a wave of hype, and then lower the price of the standard version a little, which is also considered a normal price reduction of electronic products.
The most suitable time for the release is the Stardust press conference, or it may not be released at all. Just like before, it will go on sale directly after a wave of publicity. However, Chen Zifan feels that Stardust 3 and Stardust 3+ should be given some respect.
After all, it was Stardust Technology’s flagship model for two years from June 2008 to June 2010. It had to be done decently, and after the release of Stardust 4 and Stardust 4+, these two models will not
disuse.
It is certain that Stardust 2 will be eliminated. After all, it is only a 2G mobile phone. It can be used as a small WiFi tablet, but if you want to experience smooth 3G or 4G networks, forget about it.
Regarding Stardust 3 and Stardust 3+, the new version plan is still to be determined. Some Stardust Technology executives suggested taking out the plain leather version that was previously abandoned and putting it on Stardust 3+ as a new option.
Chen Zifan personally is not too fond of plain leather materials. Although the texture of plain leather is good, it affects heat dissipation when used, and whether it is imitation leather or any kind of leather, it leaves various smells when used.
A similar problem exists with the ebony back cover, but the protective layer on the ebony back cover is very thick, and the smell is not so easy to penetrate. The plain leather is different. If you eat barbecue, hot pot, or spicy noodles, the smell will always be there.
The plain leather is also average in terms of wear resistance...
In short, there are many shortcomings. If you choose plain leather material, Chen Zifan will consider improving the plain leather technology, because he also knows that plain leather is very popular in high-end phones, sometimes even more popular than ceramics.
Especially in offline machines, the plain leather may feel better than the ebony back cover when you first use it, which is also one of the important factors to attract consumers.
The new version of Stardust 3 had to be planned by Chen Zifan himself. During the period before the Spring Festival, he also went to Stardust Factory, Xinghan Automobile Factory and some subsidiary production plants to upgrade equipment.
The equipment upgraded this time is a "robot welder". The so-called robot welder is actually not a high-end thing. It was already used in some factories as early as seven or eight years ago to replace part of the labor force.
Stardust Technology's robot welders were originally brought back from outside by Chen Jianjun, Mo Shaokun, Wang Jinli and others. Later, after a round of [Analysis of Copycats] and [Synthetic Creation], they have been used until now.
