They don’t know whether Stardust 1 is the best mobile phone in China, but this does not prevent them from envying Stardust Technology’s achievements in a short period of time. This is a real case around them.
Before, some people secretly laughed at Chen Jianjun for being stupid and handing over a factory with a total assets of several million to a child, but now they have all shut up.
"Old Chen, you must have a long-term vision! Not only did you have a new factory, but Stardust Technology has also transformed into a large company with assets worth billions!"
"I also bought the Stardust mobile phone! Not only is it the best in China, but even if you look around the world, you probably won't be able to find a similar mobile phone, right?"
"Yes! My wife has been clamoring all night yesterday, saying she wants a new mobile phone. No, she will come to you early in the morning to see if you have any in stock!"
"Are you kidding me? Stardust Technology belongs to the Chen family! Are you afraid of missing a mobile phone?"
"yes!"
After experiencing a wave of adulation, I received a few friends to give me some bonus red envelopes. Chen Jianjun also took out a box of Stardust 1 from the car. After everyone was given a few units, someone else asked:
"Did my kid tell you when Stardust Technology will go public? Let the brothers join in the fun, buy some stocks or something, and make a fortune together!"
"It's great to go public! Make money! Expand the scale and increase the reputation of Stardust Technology!"
"That's right! If Stardust Technology operates well, its market value can at least increase several times..."
Listed?
Chen Jianjun was stunned for a moment. He really hadn't considered this. He was just an ordinary person. He ran Xinghua Zhixing and was satisfied with selling electric cars every day. The only remaining wish was for his children to have a future.
"Xiaofan hasn't told me about the listing yet. I'll ask him when he's free..."
"Okay! I'm waiting for your good news!"
"..."
What they don’t know is that Stardust Technology is not planning to go public at all. Now that it has everything it needs, it just needs to develop steadily. Why should it go through the muddy waters of going public? Isn’t it troublesome enough?
Chen Zifan is an all-share director. What he wants is absolute control over Stardust Technology. Stardust Technology has no shortage of money or prestige, so why go public?
At first Wu Xiaohong complained to Chen Jianjun, saying that Chen Zifan would not go to school and go to a good university to take over the Xinghua Electronics Factory. But now she has nothing to say and starts to worry about other things.
For example: "Stardust technology is developing too fast, shouldn't it be jealous of others?" "What if one day it loses money and owes billions?" "Will we have to run away to the United States then?"
Chen Jianjun didn't know what to say after hearing this. He could only keep emphasizing: "What are you afraid of? How can it be so easy to go bankrupt? This is just the beginning, and even if Stardust Technology goes bankrupt, it will not be in debt!"
From the beginning to now, Stardust Technology has almost no loans. Wang Jinli is basically responsible for Stardust Technology's contracts. He is as smart as a kid. The amount of liquidated damages in each contract is very small.
It turned out that Xinghua Electronics Factory couldn't survive. It was purely a product problem. The products were too poor and the shipping channels couldn't be opened. Naturally, it couldn't survive.
However, the purpose of Chen Jianjun coming to Xinghua Zhixing early this morning was not to show off, but to design a new product. He said it was a design, but in fact he just chose a design drawing from the safe.
Chen Zifan only used 4 of the 100 electric vehicle design drawings given to him last time. Except for the electric three-wheeler, which he bought a small amount, the remaining three electric vehicles sold a lot, totaling more than 800,000 units.
.
The most important thing is that Xinghua Zhixing has become a serious brand of electric vehicles, so we no longer have to worry every day about whether the factory will be closed down one day.
Originally, Chen Jianjun wanted Wu Xiaohong to help him handle some company matters, but Wu Xiaohong became less and less interested in managing the company. Once he became rich, the pressure became less and he began to play with a few old aunts every day.
Occasionally, he would settle down for a while and just go to the Xinghua Zhixing head office to help run the business and sell a wave of electric vehicles. She couldn't count on it, so Chen Jianjun had no choice but to do it on his own and started looking for design drawings.
"Hmm... there needs to be a place where an LCD instrument can be installed, with a built-in management chip, and it also needs to be keyless? Whew, wouldn't it be unsafe?"
According to Chen Zifan's requirements, Xinghua Zhixing's next electric vehicle should preferably be a grocery cart with a long range and a large frame, and an LCD instrument must be installed on the front to display information such as vehicle speed, battery capacity, etc.
The most important thing left is the management chip and keyless start. The task of the management chip is to upload vehicle condition data, connect the Xinghua electric vehicle and Stardust 1 via Bluetooth, and then display it through the APP.
The same applies to keyless start. You only need to carry the Stardust 1 with you. You can set it in the APP to automatically start when your phone is close to it, or you can set it as a mobile phone key. It doesn't matter if you don't buy a Stardust 1.
They will provide two Bluetooth keys with the car, which is said to be keyless, but in fact it just omits the insertion and removal of the physical key. It is also being tested to prepare for future new energy vehicles.
"Then this is it!"
After selecting the design drawing, the next step is to prepare customized accessories, produce motors, assemble and test, and mass-produce and launch it. It is not yet known whether the keyless start and management chip will work.
Chen Jianjun's recent headache is another problem. Many people have just picked up an electric car from Xinghua Zhixing, but the battery was removed the next day, and they came to the door to scold and make trouble. It is really troublesome.
"The battery was stolen. What the hell does this have to do with us! Well, maybe it does have something to do with it..."
So this time he planned to reinforce the battery and set up an alarm device so that these battery thieves would not be able to steal it casually. His starting point was good, but this would lead to another problem...
——
Stardust Technology, Headquarters Building.
From time to time, bursts of cheers would erupt in the statistics team office of the marketing department. Chen Zifan couldn't help but get excited as he stared at the data fed back from the background. The sales volume of Stardust 1 was indeed good enough.
All Stardust directly-operated stores sold 180,000 Stardust 1 units in the hour between 8 and 9 o'clock. This is only the official channel. If Stardust authorized stores and mobile phone dealers are included, the sales volume will at least triple.
.
Offline is different from online. They can accommodate no matter how many orders they place online, but offline it takes time to sell each unit. When some customers who don’t understand much come, the store clerk has to introduce the product to them.
Stardust official website also sold 60,000 units of Stardust 1 between 8 and 9 o'clock, of which 10,000 units were sold in the first minute. It seems that many people rushed to buy it, probably because they were worried about Stardust 1.
It will be out of stock.
"It's not like this..."
Among other things, the Stardust factory has a daily production capacity of 40,000 units. It can produce a mobile phone in less than 3 seconds on average. Adding in the previous inventory, Stardust directly-operated stores and Stardust official website will continue to operate for another half month.
no problem.
The production of the "Hai" and "Xia" feature phones has been suspended. There was still some inventory before, and they will not be out of stock in a short time. The sales of these two mobile phones have dropped sharply half a month ago.
The total sales volume yesterday was only 20,000 units, let alone today. These two mobile phones are not cheap to begin with, and with the Stardust 1, who would consider a push-button function phone?
If the three mobile phones are put together, if the price gap is not too big, anyone can tell that Stardust 1 is not on the same level as the other two mobile phones.
Chen Zifan is also preparing to further improve the semi-automation level of the Stardust factory during this period. On the one hand, it can increase production capacity, and on the other hand, it can stabilize the quality and improve the overall quality control of Stardust 1.
At the same time, it can also slow down the increase in the number of labor in the Stardust factory. Too much labor is also a potential hidden danger for Stardust Technology, and an overly bloated employee system will also cause a big tail.
Chen Zifan opened the [Stardust Technology] in his consciousness and ignored the initial level details. Some other data appeared in front of him again:
This number of employees is actually not that large. You must know that several domestic mobile phone brands fifteen years later generally have more than 50,000 employees, some even reach hundreds of thousands, and their business scale is also very wide.
The rest is the number of patents, 3256 patents, most of which are technical patents. It can be said to be overwhelming among the domestic mobile phone brands at this stage, and this is also a new profit point.
Chen Zifan plans to make the first few unimportant patents public and license some relatively important patents to attract major domestic mobile phone manufacturers to join the ranks of smart phones and end the era of feature phones first.
As for the final Stardust drawings... we have to wait until the funds are withdrawn before convening a high-level meeting. Some buildings that are focused on will be completed first, and the remaining buildings such as the "Star Ring" will have to wait.
The so-called "Star Ring" is a large horizontal ring building supported by only one pillar, directly up to 120 meters long. It goes without saying that the visual impact is felt just by looking at the design drawings, but the construction investment is really too large.
It is conservatively estimated that it will cost at least 3 billion. Chen Zifan has not yet thought about spending so much money to build such a flashy landmark building. Stardust Technology's current foundation is unstable and it will take some time to develop.
In order to prevent attacks from his colleagues, Chen Zifan also recruited a group of employees from the Ministry of Finance and the Legal Department to pay all the taxes that should be paid to avoid accidents.
As expected, on the second day after Stardust 1 was launched, numerous negative comments were made against Stardust Technology. Apart from malicious smears, the rest were attacks on Stardust Technology for false propaganda and had no conscience.
Chen Zifan took a brief look and found out that the so-called false propaganda these people were talking about was that after buying Stardust 1, the network download speed was too slow, the cost was high, and wifi was not yet widely available in most areas.
He also doesn’t understand how these people and the Internet can be blamed for Stardust Technology’s false propaganda?
"So the top priority now is to promote wifi as soon as possible. Without wifi and relying solely on 2G network, the experience of using Stardust OS will not be good enough..."
