The first cooperation between Stardust Technology and MediaTek took place on the summer solstice, but before that, MediaTek’s top management had sent five specialists to inspect.
Chen Zifan had a headache when he heard the word "inspection". It wasn't that he didn't dare to let people from MediaTek enter the Stardust Factory. Anyway, they couldn't enter some core areas and couldn't access confidential things.
The reason for his headache is that since the release of Stardust 1 and Stardust OS, officials have been very worried about the safety of Stardust Technology and Chen Zifan himself.
As a result, the road from Stardust Plaza to Stardust Technology Headquarters has been cordoned off, and a large number of professionals have been deployed to provide 24-hour strict protection of Stardust Technology.
Originally, Chen Zifan wanted to wait for Stardust Technology to build its own new energy vehicle before replacing his Dandan car, but someone gave him one directly. Not only was the glass bulletproof, but it also had a driver and bodyguards.
He protested against this excessive behavior, and someone quickly contacted him: "Alas, such a big incident happened in January this year. It is a troubled time. I hope you can understand us..."
The chip scam in January had a big impact on China's chip industry. The emergence of Stardust Technology is like a new hope, not only bringing new hardware technology, but also a perfect operating system.
The most important thing is that Stardust Technology has certain chip research and development technology. This cooperation with MediaTek only revealed a little bit of news and attracted the attention of countless people. Everyone knows that chips are very important.
The stitched chips of Stardust 1 have already entered the laboratories of major manufacturers and have begun to undergo various disassembly. It will not take long for the principles to be disassembled.
Of course, knowing the principle and being able to do it are completely different things. Chen Zifan is not worried that Stardust Technology will be targeted for the time being, but MediaTek is very anxious.
They are eager to get Stardust Technology's chip enhancement technology directly. In this way, MediaTek may stand up and take off its hat as the king of copycats and become the world's largest chip company.
But Qualcomm is not easy to mess with. Chen Zifan knows that Qualcomm is very low-key now, but they have integrated their resources and started making smart phone chips.
Next year they will launch Qualcomm Snapdragon S1, a 65nm process processor, and soon the first smartphone equipped with Android and Snapdragon S1, HTC Dream, will be launched, so time is very tight.
"Understanding is understanding, but if this happens, both Stardust Technology employees and I will feel very uncomfortable..."
"Don't worry, we will open up more resource permissions for you and Stardust Technology~"
To put it simply, Stardust Technology needs people and money. Even if Chen Zifan doesn't want it, they will take the initiative to give people and investments. It doesn't matter if they can't get the shares, as long as they sign a cooperation agreement.
Chen Zifan's freedom is not affected, but it is not unacceptable. In addition to the previous engineers, 1/3 of Stardust Network's manpower is already developing one of the main contents of the cooperation: map navigation.
If there is a chance, we can even combine the racing game and map navigation currently being developed by the game project team to make a map based on reality, but it is a pity that the workload is too huge.
Haicheng alone covers an area of 5,123 square kilometers, and requires a very large amount of data storage. Even if there is cloud storage, it may not be possible, and current mobile phones cannot carry it.

As for chip cooperation... Chen Zifan has only one request. If China can have its own chip foundry, then Stardust Technology will have no worries at all and can unleash its full potential.
However, it may not be possible in a short period of time, so Stardust Technology will have to do it on its own.
The specialists dispatched by MediaTek acted very quickly. They set off in the morning of the 14th and arrived at the Stardust Technology Headquarters in Haicheng in the evening. Zhao Wushang was responsible for arranging accommodation for them, but these specialists were not people who could live idle.
Not even ten minutes after sitting in the hotel, I packed up my belongings and said, "It's hard to come to the mainland. We have to take a good look at the scenery. Alas! It's different from what we imagined!"
"Aren't there many people over there who say: People here are so poor that they can't even afford tea eggs?"
"Haha, do you believe this?"
"Of course I don't believe it! It's not like I've never been to Shanghai! I just think it's a pity not to come and see for myself sometimes..."
"Let's go, let's go! Don't forget your work this time! There are many people in the company who almost praise Stardust Technology to the sky. What you hear is false, and what you see is belief!"
"Haha, that's your technical department! Our department thinks Stardust Technology is a liar~"
"Liar!? You are insulting ourselves! Why do you think we are here?"
"Don't get excited, it's them..."
"..."
The five commissioners got a car from nowhere and started observing along the main streets of Haicheng. They found that Haicheng's infrastructure was very complete.
Fortunately, they are not core technical personnel of MediaTek and mainly focus on research work. Otherwise, they would not be allowed to run around so casually.
After all, it is a quasi-first-tier city and one of the most developed cities in China. Then they walked around for a while and arrived at the Stardust directly-operated store opposite the Wetland Park. Unfortunately, this direct-operated store was closed after get off work.
Only the white signboard and Stardust logo still shine at night. Even at night, Stardust directly-operated stores are still exerting their signature attributes.
But what the five commissioners didn't expect was that the Ming Xingchen directly-operated store was already off work, but there were many people gathering on the stage at the entrance playing with their mobile phones, and from time to time there were people coming out of the park to join in.
This aroused some curiosity in them, so they caught a young man and asked proactively: "Hey, buddy, the direct-operated stores are closed! Why are you still at the door and not leaving? What's the matter?"
Upon hearing this, the young man knew that they were not locals and their motorcycle-like tone was too strong, but he still replied casually: "Oh, I'm not here to use the wifi and download some novels to read at home."
"Use wifi?"
The five commissioners looked at each other, not quite understanding what this operation was, but they also noticed the Stardust 1 in the hands of young people. Do people who can afford a 4,000 yuan mobile phone also need to use WiFi?
Unexpectedly, the young man didn't take it seriously: "What? Isn't this normal? The wifi in the Stardust Direct Store is very easy to use. I haven't seen so many people connected to it without any lag. It's fast to download novels. It only takes a few minutes~"
"Why don't you set up your own wifi?"
The young man was a little speechless: "It's so expensive to get wifi! That package costs thousands a year, and I rent a house. I usually use wifi to read novels and watch movies, so why should I spend so much money?"
The chubby fat man wearing glasses on the side heard the conversation of several people and joined in: "Yes, using wifi is the way to go! It's easier than using a computer to use a data cable to transfer files! You can also download some games to play!"
After that, he approached the young man again: "Hey, buddy, do you have any resources? I can't find good movie resources, it's better to have more powerful ones!"
Commissioner:……
"Ahem, I won't bother you anymore~" After saying that, the five of them turned and left. At the same time, from the corner of their eyes, they noticed an uncle cutting fruit in the corner.
They all know that Stardust 1 can run three software at the same time, which means that there are software downloads in the background, games are played at the same time, and another software can be opened to switch at any time, but this consumes more power.
You know, I know, but the one they have is still a button-function machine with a small and thick screen, dust is easy to enter in the middle, and there is no app store or networking capabilities. Comparing this...
"Should we get one?"
"Yes, yes! In order to better study Stardust technology! But can we use this mobile phone there?"
"It should be possible..."
"Isn't your department dismantling Stardust 1 research every day? Why don't you know this?"
"We have a special network! It will definitely work! It won't work elsewhere!"
"???"
Chen Zifan probably never imagined that these five specialists would bring back a batch of Stardust 1s and go to the entrance of the R&D laboratory every day to use the special network...
Early the next morning, five commissioners arrived at the Stardust Technology Headquarters. Zhao Wushang was still responsible for taking them to the Stardust Factory to introduce some of the chip enhancement production lines that could be displayed to the outside world.
The commissioners were smiling all the way, chatting and laughing with Zhao Wushang while showing their strong professional knowledge. In fact, their hearts were already in turmoil from the moment they arrived at the Stardust Technology Headquarters:
"This building?"
"Are these the territories of Stardust Technology? They're too big, right? What's the building over there for?"
"This factory? Damn, my calves are sore from walking. Why is it still so far away?"
"What is this? What's going on with these workers? Can this machine still be used like this?"
"Is this a chip-enhanced device? Damn it, I know every part individually, but why do they look like this when put together?"
"No, this is not scientific!"
They couldn't figure out why the internal structure of the Stardust Factory was completely different from the factory they knew, and they couldn't even name most of the machinery and equipment, which was impossible before.
Who doesn't know that China is a technological desert and is very lacking in high-end technology. However, Stardust Factory allows them to feel a unified production layout that seems to be seen in science fiction movies.
What they saw was only a small part of the Stardust Factory, and there were many projects that they had no access to at all, such as the electronic waste recycling station...
This is also one of the main reasons why Stardust Technology is able to reduce hardware costs so low.
Zhao Wushang introduced the whole process, and then led five MediaTek specialists to connect with the chip enhancement technical personnel and began to briefly discuss the content of this cooperation.
"This is part of the equipment in our chip enhancement project. It can connect to the chip... and then increase its core frequency to several times more..."
The effect was that the introduction was clear. As for the principle, the technical staff did not mention it at all. Their job this time was to shock a few specialists.
