Therefore, the current Xinghan Zhixing is very similar to the very beginning of Stardust Technology. It adopts a method of distant communication and close attack. Those that are far away will start to develop from major cities, and those that are close will be brought along regardless of their size.
The only difficult point is to popularize charging stations. This is not a big problem, it just requires a little time and patience. Taking advantage of this period, Xinghan Zhixing can continue to expand its product line.
When other car manufacturers saw that the popularity of charging stations was gaining momentum, they finally began to take "real" actions. However, this is normal. Chen Zifan is such a stubborn person that he does not care so much about profits.
In contrast, some car companies will calculate profits to a very detailed level. It is clear which part of the car is made of plastic and which part is made of aluminum alloy. They will not pile up materials like crazy like Xinghan Zhixing.
Of course, this is also related to his [Stardust Technology]. With technical support, he can naturally be more arrogant.
Moreover, in the current field of new energy vehicles, only Xinghan Zhixing is considered a "serious brand". There are also some so-called "new car-making forces", but these new forces either have poor products or have not produced them.
For example, LeTV…
Xinghan 001 has been mass-produced and launched. Boss Jia claims to be the benchmark for Maybach. Bentley's "luxury" new energy car Faraday is still raising funds. Let alone mass-produced and launched, even the concept car only has a few pictures.
What is most difficult for Chen Zifan to understand is that LeTV has become more and more neglectful in the development of its electronic product business. At the beginning, the users that LeTV mobile phones accumulated due to their cost-effectiveness have now almost disappeared.
Several new products are also uninteresting. However, there is a "smart TV" that sells well. It is large in size, thin in body, and good-looking. However, its sales volume cannot be compared with Hisense, Changhong, and TCL.
.
The product power of smartphones is also gradually weaker than that of Meizu and Xiaomi. Obviously smartphones should be one of LeTV’s main sources of profit before, but now...
Maybe Boss Jia is so happy with his investment income that he no longer wants to think about profit issues.
Currently, the only brands that can be called brands in the 100-yuan price range are Meilan and Redmi. When you go up to the 1,000-2,000 price range, there are more options to choose from, including low-priced series from Oppo, Vivo, ZTE, Gionee, and Coolpad.
, and there are all kinds of off-brand copycat phones.
However, the sales of copycat phones are no longer what they used to be. Who would buy a copycat phone when there are serious brands to choose from?
The competition cannot be compared with serious brands, and the price is cheaper than the subsidized Meilan and Redmi. The future of copycat phones may be a dead end. And as the price goes up, there are more and more familiar brands in Chen Zifan's memory.
Starting from 2000, all the way up to the price range of about 5,000, there are China Coolian, Miov, Gionee, Hisense, Amoi, Konka... some of them are not purely domestic, but consumers think they are domestic brands.
There are also some new brands, such as Gucci, Yihang, Fairs, Decepticon, Changqing... These new brands also have their own design characteristics. The founders are also very good at marketing and have accumulated their own users.
It's just that in terms of product strength, it is still inferior to Stardust Technology, or it is not inferior, but at least two levels behind. In terms of refinement, quality, quality control, and after-sales service, it cannot compare with Stardust Technology.
But they have a price advantage...
The booming Internet has given these new brands a whole new space for survival, and at least the marketing costs will be greatly reduced. If this were done before, I am afraid that some small brands would only be local brands no matter how hard they worked.
In general, the current smartphone market is still in a stage where a hundred flowers are blooming. Stardust Technology has taken away 30% to 35% of the domestic market share, so isn’t there still more than half left? It can still make a splash.
Even if it goes bankrupt in the end, there will still be some people who make money, and they will quit in time before they lose money, leaving a mess for others to take over.
However, according to Chen Zifan's estimation, within five years at most, the smartphone market will enter the final reshuffle stage, and in the end there will be no more than five relatively large domestic mobile phone manufacturers left.
Stardust Technology can continue to develop at its own pace, and other brands cannot affect them.
At least currently, Chen Zifan has not seen a brand that can threaten the status of Stardust Technology, but new energy vehicles are different. The established giants in the automotive field are too strong. They are much stronger than Nokia.
Now Chen Zifan is taking advantage of the time difference to expand his influence as much as possible before those international brands react. This time, several official announcements from Haicheng are also focused on new energy products, including road construction and charging stations.
, but also open to individuals.
The next step is new energy car purchase subsidies, starting from Haicheng and spreading to the surrounding areas. The next step is to impose "traffic restrictions" specifically on fuel vehicles. All of this is preparing for the growth of new energy forces.
Some consumers may think it's unfair. What's wrong with fuel vehicles? Why are they restricted? There's nothing we can do about it. There's nothing wrong with the product itself, but this is not just a simple product competition. It involves too many factors, affecting ordinary consumers.
It is also inevitable.
Just like fuel motorcycles, do you really think that banning motorcycles is unsafe and reduces exhaust emissions? Then why can the same thing be replaced by electric drive?
Since Xinghan Zhixing is on the side of the "new forces", it will naturally go all out for this. In order to further open up the market, Li Yuan has also launched a "used car subsidy" service, which means that no matter what the original user drives
You can sell cars to Xinghan Zhixing.
But as for used car subsidies, anyone who has tried it must know that the subsidized price is much lower than the second-hand price. The only advantage is that it is more convenient.
Some second-hand car dealers may not necessarily offer higher subsidies than Xinghan Zhixing. Finding individual buyers is too time-consuming, and the cost of time and energy is huge.
So what should we do with these recycled second-hand cars? They will mainly be sold to car dealers and consumers in underdeveloped areas. The development of these places is generally backward, and the wind of new energy cannot yet blow there.
Incidentally, it can also become a new profit point for Xinghan Zhixing. Of course, Chen Zifan and Li Yuan would rather make a little less money than go through the trouble of doing it themselves. The fastest way is to sell it to second-hand car dealers at a price close to the subsidized price, so that they can buy it again.
Find customers to sell to.
In short, Xinghan Zhixing will definitely not lose money.
As soon as the news of used car subsidies was released, many consumers immediately drove their cars to Xinghan direct-sale stores. When they went there, they were in a good mood. What they were thinking was:
"Why isn't my car worth 30,000?"
The result is:
"What Gouba thing? 10,000? This is too little! I might as well keep it for myself!"
It’s definitely okay to keep it, but now that they’re here, Xinghan mini, Xinghan 001, and Xinghan 009 are all on display in the store. Wouldn’t it be a bit of a loss not to give them a test drive?
It’s okay without a test drive. Once you do a test drive...
The desire to change the car immediately became like a surging river, and I couldn’t stop it! The employees of the Xinghan Direct Store also took the opportunity to vigorously promote it, from configuration to after-sales to various benefits... How many people can’t be tempted?
And since all fuel vehicles are similar, the appearance of Xinghan 001 is too unique. Some people may think it is not low-key enough, but there is absolutely no denying that Xinghan 001 is an extremely handsome car.
It's a pity that I am short of money...
You don’t have to think about the Xinghan 001 worth 185,800 yuan. You can take a look at the Polestar X next to it. As for the Polestar
What’s wrong? Being able to be used as a taxi means it’s durable!
Besides, all the necessary functions are already there. Once you reach a certain age, you won’t pursue a car like Xinghan 001. It’s better to save some money and do other things.
How consumers choose is up to them, but Chen Zifan doesn’t care. Anyway, the only new energy vehicle brands he can choose are Xinghan Zhixing and Polestar Motors. Anyway, they make their own money~
It doesn't matter even if some consumers choose other brands. As long as it is a new energy vehicle, it has something to do with Stardust Technology. Batteries, motors, transmissions, vehicle systems, chips... there are simply too many.
At the same time, Haicheng officials are also starting to take action quickly. They say it will be from August to December. In fact, they are already preparing materials and attracting other cities to join in.
On the other side, Stardust Game~
Mirage Mirage has also ushered in a new version update. Compared with the previous version, the realistic style is less, and more new science fiction elements are added. The cars in the game have also undergone a major overhaul.
First of all, the original Xinghan 01 is no longer the ceiling of the game, but its modification space is still very large. After the modification, it can even run a terrifying acceleration of 2.1 seconds from zero to 100, which is exaggerated to a certain extent.
The cooperating car manufacturers are no longer restricted by the original contracts, and have begun to really let themselves go. In reality, there are no cars, and in the game, one is more ruthless than the other. Especially BYD, which is also in the new energy camp, has also developed a
A tank-like armored vehicle.
In the function introduction, it is also specifically introduced:
An all-terrain vehicle can cope with 99.9% of complex environments. It can still drive normally without one tire. In extreme cases, it can even lack two tires...but the two tires cannot be both front or rear wheels.
You have to keep a balance~
As soon as the introduction came out, countless players scoffed. What is this? It is indeed a game!
Everyone was having a good time and didn't take it seriously. Only Chen Zifan was a little surprised after seeing it. He knew that BYD had indeed proposed a similar idea, and the time should be in 2015, which seemed to be at Tang's press conference.
At that time, they said that if a tire bursts and there is no time, you can drive on three wheels for a few months and then send it to the repair shop when you have time. If it is not possible, you can drive on two wheels, but you can drive on three wheels when parking.
It's not easy to stop, so I have to use bricks to cushion it.
Everyone thinks this is a joke, and no one thinks that BYD can stand out from domestic brands. After all, there are Great Wall, Changan, Chery, and Geely waiting on the sidelines, so why do you BYD?
But later, with the advent of the new energy era, BYD directly became the leader in domestic new energy.
But that was already the development of another timeline. What is the situation now? Unfortunately, this is just a game after all. The employees of Stardust Games will not notice this, and Chen Zifan does not care to look at it in such detail.
After the initial development stage of the Stardust game platform, it has gradually gained a large number of player fans. Needless to say, Mirage has the highest degree of adaptability and the best experience so far.
Secondly, there is a series of stand-alone and online games developed by Stardust Games. Almost all of the stand-alone games are zero-cost games. These games are not for the purpose of making money. Even the online games have mediocre returns.
If you are a new player who has just entered the game, you may not even be able to find where to earn money. For this reason alone, these games have attracted a large number of players who have no money to spend.
How does Stardust Game make money?
Don’t forget that there are also acquired games. The acquired games account for about 50% of the total number of Xingchen Dust games, which is a 50-50 split with the ones developed by ourselves. However, the acquired games have also been modified.
When entering some games, the first thing that comes out is not how to play, but various recharge rewards.
You don't need to think about it to know that they are all transferred from web games. Anhe first cut off the krypton level. It's not that it doesn't allow krypton gold, but at least it has to be reasonable so that players who spend krypton gold can enjoy the fun of krypton gold.
.
Ordinary players who don’t spend money can still play normally, as long as they can do this, that’s enough.
Fortunately, game companies these days are not as crazy as later, and they even hire sociologists and psychologists to study how to maximize the drain on players' time, energy, and wallets. That would be terrible.
These days, most game companies are relatively professional. After being acquired by Stardust Games, their goal has changed from "making a profitable game" to "making money while also having quality."
Isn’t it true that people are like this?
At the beginning, I just wanted to solve the problem of food and clothing. After the problem of food and clothing was solved, and work and making money were also solved to a certain extent, I began to pursue physical health and spiritual wealth. Materials will always be the foundation.
But unlike ordinary game companies, Stardust Games has financial support from Stardust Technology. The initial goal was to "create high-quality games". After achieving part of the goals, profitability has continued to grow. Basically,
Everything has been paid back.
It's a pity that the PC version of the Stardust game has not yet been released, and An He's current energy is a little overwhelming. Chen Zifan also sent several middle-level management cadres from the Stardust Technology Headquarters to assist.
Apart from anything else, with the dedicated management talents, the overall efficiency of Stardust Games has improved a lot, and it has become easier for technicians like An He to devote their main energy to developing games.
As for things on the PC side, we can’t rush things. The engineering team of Stardust Games is not strong enough yet. It’s okay to focus on one or two games, but it’s probably a bit unrealistic to create some real “3a” games.
Chen Zifan doesn’t have too many demands on them. The main reason is that Stardust Technology has not yet produced its own PC product, but it will be soon. Once Changhe 4 is launched, he will immediately start preparations.
So why not now?
Now Chen Zifan still needs to solve a key problem. After half a month of long waiting, [Stardust Technology] finally upgraded to lv.80.
