After confirming the time with the person in charge of Jirun Food Processing Factory, Chen Zifan arrived at the Stardust Technology Headquarters. As soon as he entered the door, he heard someone say:
"Here, don't you see, there are more than one person in Stardust Plaza! They are all queuing up! There must be at least five or six hundred people! They come to buy mobile phones early in the morning, and they are really
Absolutely awesome!"
"I want to buy it too! But the year-end bonus will definitely require a mobile phone. If I buy it now, wouldn't I lose money?"
"Our employees are paying low prices, what are you afraid of? When the mobile phones are issued, can't they be used by family members?"
“Buy early and enjoy early, but you’d better work hard and be promoted to a senior employee first~”
"That's true..."
"..."
Hearing this, Chen Zifan took a look outside the window before entering the office. He didn't know what to look for. He was shocked when he saw that Stardust Plaza was full of breakfast sellers, such as steamed buns and green onion pancakes...
Looking further ahead, two long lines are queuing up at the entrance of the Stardust Direct Store, all the way to the center of Stardust Plaza. There are many people coming and going around, queuing up to buy breakfast, left-hand soy milk, and right-hand steamed buns.
This was not the first time that Chen Zifan had seen this kind of grand event. Apple, Samsung, and even Meitu had had similar queues, but when it appeared at Stardust Technology, he still had a different feeling.
It turns out that electronic products are really worth waiting for! Unfortunately, people have more and more choices later, and the products of major mobile phone brands have gradually become more homogenous, and a lot of the original flavor has been lost~
“In this world, whether it’s a person or a brand, it’s very difficult to not forget your original intention…”
Every brand has had a glorious history. Chen Zifan hopes that Stardust Technology can do better. Stardust 1 and Stardust OS are just the beginning.
“Anyone can copy other people’s products, but I want more than just copying!”
After thinking about this, Chen Zifan walked into the office. Zhao Wushang had already put some data on his desk in advance, including the access data of Stardust official website, the playback data of Stardust press conference, etc...
You must know that the Stardust press conference is not just a live broadcast. In the next month, it will also be replayed on major TV stations and some giant screens. This is one of the most effective publicity methods currently.
"From 0:00 to 6:00 on June 11, the number of visits to Stardust's official website exceeded 2 million times..."
The number of visits to the Stardust official website at night is already a very exaggerated figure, but it is unknown how much sales it will ultimately generate.
Chen Zifan remembers that when he was studying for a Ph.D. before he was reborn, there was a time when he really wanted to buy a new energy car, but the roof price of that car exceeded 400,000. It was more than 30 years old, and it was hard to ask for money from his family.
So he could only work hard and work every day. Before going to bed at night, he would click on the official APP of the new energy brand and look at the selected car over and over again, which had become one of his motivations.
Just when the full payment was about to be collected to replace the old car with a new one, the hydrogen energy battery laboratory exploded. Now that it is better, the money is available, but the car is gone, and you have to build it yourself bit by bit.
After a brief check, Chen Zifan went to the marketing department to prepare real-time statistical data. There are three servers here to operate the Stardust official website and Stardust Mall, and online sales can be fed back in real time.
Since the Stardust Mall only has a mobile version and Stardust 1 has not yet been officially launched for sale, the marketing department prioritizes the sales data from the Stardust official website.
As the numbers on the electronic watch jumped from 7:59 to 8:00, the employees in charge of statistics in the marketing department began to get busy. One minute later——
"Director Chen! The sales volume of Stardust's official website exceeded 10,000 units in one minute! It has set a new record!"
Chen Zifan:......
By the way, are there any old sales records?
"Dr. Chen! Our colorful silicone phone cases only sold 236 units in one minute... uh..."
"Stardust mobile power supply, 381 units per minute, Stardust tempered film, 16 units per minute..."
"Ahem..."
Sure enough, accessories are not that easy to sell. Making money is making money, but everyone is not stupid, and it is impossible to buy irrelevant things casually.
As for offline sales, the data has not yet been compiled, but after Stardust Network developed a new cashier system, data from Stardust directly-operated stores and after-sales centers will be sent every hour.
This is data from the official channels of Stardust Technology. The shipment status of Stardust authorized stores and mobile phone dealers can be directly calculated according to inventory. Whether they can sell it or not is their business~
On the other side, as soon as the Stardust directly-operated store opened, the queue of people at the door dispersed and began to squeeze in. Fortunately, the door of the Stardust Direct-operated store was large and strong enough, otherwise there would be safety risks.
Some faces were there last night and came again this morning, asking them why they don't shop online... Since the prices offline and online are the same and you can buy them directly, why do you want to shop online? Online shopping is so unsafe!
Things that cost a few yuan or dozens of yuan are fine, but ordinary people really don’t have the guts to buy a mobile phone worth several thousand yuan online. It will take time for online shopping to become popular, and online has never been the largest market for mobile phone shipments.
Even fifteen years later, online mobile phone sales will only account for about 30% of all mobile phones. The real sales depend on offline sales, but offline sales are filled with all kinds of deceptive specialty stores...
There are simply too many things like this, with configurations that are three years out of date, and a mobile phone priced at RMB 1,000 that is sold at an increased price of RMB 1,599. The most important thing is that they are targeting the elderly who have the least experience in buying mobile phones.
The so-called "high-end depends on technology, low-end depends on conscience" is not just a sentence, it is a real status quo. It is a pity that Stardust Technology's positioning is high-end from the beginning and will not participate in such things.
Stardust Technology, which has various technologies and patents, will not develop low-end mobile phones. Instead of going through a thankless effort, it is better to leave the low-end mobile phone market to others... For example, a certain brand that is born for cost-effectiveness and fever...

At the same time, Haicheng University.
Most of the senior students have left the campus, and the rest are either preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination or coming back to go through various procedures. There is also a group of people who have no job, such as Bai Xiuning...
Her major was exactly the same as Chen Zifan's. This major was very unfriendly to women. After interviewing with several companies, she could not find a suitable position.
There happened to be something going on at school. Bai Xianning had just taken some materials and was about to leave the dormitory when she bumped into a sneaky figure, it was An He.
"Why are you back? You don't go to work today? Isn't Stardust Technology busy these days?"
After nearly a month, Bai Xianning was very surprised to see her best friend again, but she kept asking questions. She knew that Stardust Technology was busy with work recently, and advertisements for Stardust 1 were almost hitting her doorstep.
As one of the engineers of Stardust OS, An He's job is definitely not easy. Even though she doesn't need to work overtime, An He will still clock in and work whenever she is free, but she is not doing it to earn overtime pay.
But because after the development of Stardust OS version 1.0 was completed, she was assigned to be responsible for the "Stardust Game" project. She led people to make the fruit cutting, and is now developing a high-quality racing game.
Hearing Bai Xianning's words, An He replied: "You're telling me, some new engineers have recently arrived. Their level is much higher than mine. Also, I also have holidays every week, okay?"
"I know I know!"
To be honest, Bai Xianning is quite envious of An He. At least now she not only earns more, but also has fixed commuting hours. The most important thing is that An He is doing a job that she has always liked. This is simply too difficult.
An He glanced at the materials in Bai Xianning's hand and asked, "What are you going to do? Deliver something? Are you in a hurry? If not, go back to the dormitory with me first!"
"It's not in a hurry..."
"Then let's go!"
Bai Xianning followed An He to her dormitory with a confused look on her face. Then she saw An He take out a delicate white box from the bag on the bedside, put it into her hand and said in a deep voice:
"You have to hold it! You must hold it! It is convenient for me to contact you at any time! Let me tell you, our company has cooperated with TX! We are preparing to develop the mobile terminal QQ, and then you can use your mobile phone to send messages..."
Bai Xianning saw the meteor logo of Stardust Technology at a glance, and knew that this must be Stardust 1, which has been a hot topic recently. How can you just accept something worth several thousand yuan? She quickly stuffed the box back:
"No, I can't have it!"
"Oh, take it, I'm an engineer, why am I short of a mobile phone? If you don't believe me, just look at it!"
An He took out his Stardust 1 and handed it to Bai Xiuning. Her Stardust 1 was also covered with a light blue official silicone mobile phone case. The latter felt the difference between Stardust 1 and previous mobile phones as soon as she started using it.
It was very light, the screen was big and bright, and it felt very good after being put into the case. The moment she turned on the screen, she was amazed. She had never seen such a clear and large mobile phone screen.
"Isn't it beautiful? Let me tell you, in the next update of Stardust OS, you can change the wallpaper by yourself! I can't use two mobile phones by myself, you use it first!"
"This...but...there is also sending messages...I can also send text messages using my original phone!"
When An He heard the two words of the text message, he immediately showed disgust: "SMS message? 1 cents and 2 cents per message, too expensive! QQ is different, it doesn't cost money! Also, the game I made will be online soon! You have to
Play!"
"what game?"
"You'll know after you play around with it! By the way, Stardust Technology is recruiting people again recently, and they happen to be professionally qualified. Do you want to give it a try?"
"I can't get in!"
It's not that Bai Xianning hasn't thought about it, but since Stardust Technology was on the official channel, the number of job seekers has increased day by day, and it's impossible to apply for one!
"I forgot... How about I give it a try? I'll recommend it to you, maybe it will work!"
"Really?"
"That's for sure! And if the employee's level is high, he will definitely be given a mobile phone as a year-end bonus! If not, you can return it to me when the time comes. Now you can take this new one and use it first!"
"..."

Xinghua Zhixing.
Chen Jianjun was showing off a Stardust 1 to some friends. As soon as he took it out, he received all kinds of compliments. He just felt that he had never been so happy in his life, and he felt much more comfortable.
"Did you see it? My son made a mobile phone! This is the best mobile phone in China right now!"
PS: The update time is too late, it will be updated at 8pm tomorrow. Thank you for your support!
