Stardust Technology is responsible for the provision of hardware and technology, and some other aspects will naturally be solved by others. This is not something Chen Zifan can take care of. He is only responsible for investing and providing technology.
Fortunately, Wang Jinli's work efficiency is very impressive. As the second Stardust Technology executive to be promoted to [Stardust Employee], he has improved his abilities to a certain extent and successfully became a new key member.
Originally, Chen Zifan was worried that some minor problems in Wang Jinli's personal style would affect the development of Stardust Technology one day in the future, but now there is no need to worry at all. He believes that Wang Jinli knows what he is doing.
At the same time, Chen Zifan also finalized the final plan for Stardust OS 1.0 on Stardust Network. Originally, he even wanted to name it Stardust OS1 for no other reason than to highlight his confidence.
"The products of Stardust Technology are top-notch products! But there is no need to be picky..."
A number cannot determine the quality of Stardust OS. When Stardust Network makes fine-tuning in the future, it can also be marked with numbers such as 1.1, 2.3, 3.5... to record how many times it has been updated.
According to Chen Zifan's plan, the large version of Stardust OS will be updated together with Stardust mobile phones once a year. The specific time is initially set to be June 5. After all, June is also a busy month for mobile phone shipments.
All the major Android mobile phone manufacturers in his memory will also release their own flagship phones around June, and of course, around December, because later Android manufacturers have always pursued a dual-flagship strategy.
Part of the reason is to compete with Apple's business empire. Unfortunately, it will be difficult for Android manufacturers to hit the real high-end. Mobile phones will be phased out too quickly, and high-end users will have a poor experience.
In fact, even if Apple updates its new generation every year, it is still very fast. This update model is doomed to make it difficult for an Android phone to be used for more than 3 years and for an Apple phone to be used for more than 5 years.
Of course, there are cases, but such cases are too rare. Chen Zifan finally chose the strategy of updating once a year, but his annual update is different from Apple. He will set up "special models."
For example, models named with single characters such as "Hai" and "Box", as well as models with special conditions and non-traditional shapes, will no longer be named after the traditional "Stardust + Numbers".
The specific update frequency is uncertain. Chen Zifan has initially arranged the update frequency for special models to be updated every 2 to 3 years. He has already completed the preliminary concept of the first model, but is not yet ready to launch a project.
In addition, although the Stardust digital series is a regular model, it will also launch some limited editions. The limited editions are also a special marketing method, and the purpose is to attract traffic to Stardust Technology during the off-season.
"There's no rush yet... Let's solve the problem of Stardust 1 first, and we'll talk about the rest later..."
After the Spring Festival, various industries have returned to normal working conditions. In major forums, there have been more discussions about Stardust mobile phones again, and the previous "era poster" has also been mentioned again.
But compared to before the Spring Festival, there is a lot less hostility on the Internet, and there are even more supporters. They think: "Emerging technology companies should be more arrogant! They should dare to think and do!"
Instead of blindly talking about "traditional brands" and "established industry giants", this era needs stories of the rise of grassroots. In their view, Stardust Technology is a pure grassroots with upright roots.
Except for the occasional "publicity", Stardust Technology has been developing down to earth at other times. As more and more Stardust mobile phones are sold, people have also seen some persistence of this brand.
In major KouKou groups, when the Stardust mobile phone is mentioned, many people will participate in the discussion:
"Should I say it, the workmanship of the Stardust phone is really good, but it's not that durable..."
"Just buy a case. Go to the digital market and have a look. There must be someone selling it."
"The official case is too expensive. If you go to a small commodity store, the small commodity store here only sells it for 6 yuan!"
"It seems that Stardust Express, which is quite famous recently, is also owned by Stardust Technology, right?"
"Stardust Express is really fast, but it can't be delivered to many places, and it costs extra to send large items. A delivery is twice as expensive as going through logistics..."
"How can your logistics be so fast? Also, Stardust Technology should take care of those pirated websites. A friend of mine was defrauded of money before!"
"Yes, yes! It's so annoying!"
"I also have friends..."
This is also the problem Chen Zifan encountered recently. Some rampant companies have built a new website based on the Stardust official website. It is almost exactly the same as the Stardust official website from beginning to end, except for the payment channels...
The most disgusting thing is that when searching the Stardust official website, the interfaces of these fake websites are still on the Stardust official website. Chen Zifan can understand at a glance that 80% of them are capital intervention and want to target Stardust Technology.
"His grandma's! Is it interesting? Everyone likes to do such little tricks?"
Some people were deceived and went to Stardust directly-operated stores to cause trouble, and claimed to "sue" Stardust Technology to compensate for their losses. Chen Zifan did not know whether these people were really deceived or were instigated by others.
He has sent the Stardust Technology Legal Department out to resolve the matter, but if nothing unexpected happens... he can only make a few scapegoats at most, and even if he knows the real mastermind, there is nothing he can do.
He was also speechless about this: "I am a small brand, how can I be remembered by you..."
In 2006, the online shopping community was very small, and most people who frequently went online had the ability to distinguish authenticity from counterfeit goods, so the losses caused were not large. What really left Chen Zifan speechless was that the Stardust Direct Store was "besieged".
At their Stardust branch stationed in first-tier cities, various mobile phone stores suddenly appeared around the Stardust direct-operated stores, some of which were owned by digital dealers, while others were specially created by other brands...
The market is often like this. For example, a restaurant in a certain place suddenly becomes prosperous, and it won't be long before all kinds of restaurants are opened around it.
It's a pity that the original store may not have fewer customers because there are more competitors around it, and the new store may not be able to win customers. In the end, it all depends on whether the "food" is good and whether the service is adequate.
Therefore, Chen Zifan is not worried at all about the threat these stores can pose to Stardust directly-operated stores. They may cause some minor troubles in the early stage, but as long as Stardust technology develops, these will not be a problem~
"So what if we are besieging you from above and below? Since we are coming, it's best to use ruthless means."
for example…
However, some companies that consider themselves "well-known brands" disdain to use any subversive methods against Stardust Technology. Perhaps this is also their pride...
All the current working difficulties of Stardust OS have been solved. Just continue to make steady progress. The hardware of Stardust 1 is all in place. The remaining most difficult point to solve is the chip. Chen Zifan lacks a powerful chip.
At the same time, Wang Jinli also found a medium-sized food processing factory that was about to go bankrupt...
